    Friend can't get fsd even after 100mi?

    My friends Tesla, I've been bragging about fsd so he finally spent the $199. Then it said he needed 100mi on autosteer but he said he's done 100s with the stock autopilot.

    Just installed 20” rims 275/40/20 . I have the ohlins coilovers. I'm going to lower it as the gap is pretty big. Front gap

    Just got these 20" rims. 275/40/20 Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultra tires. The front gap is over 2.5”. And rear is about 2”. I'm going to lower it via the shock length so the battery will be lower to the ground so it doesn't impact coil over travel distance. Should I max lower 0.78” (20mm) or less...
