https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/25/business/hertz-tesla-electric-vehicles.html Wow—y’all probably already saw this In the M3 section

Fully agree re ”one component at a time” test. If acoustically insulated tires were available in the size I wanted I would have, for certain, chosen those as I’d opt for every advantage in that regard. I initially ordered the A/S Michelins but after reading reviews that they were noisy changed...

Look forward to seeing it! What color is your car, again? I’d noticed my MSM MX with ceramic, but without wrap, has held up well against the appearance of chips for 20k miles vs my black Plaid with ceramic only. Wish I’d kept closeup pics of my black 2017 wrapped S—it did get visible pockmarks...

https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a15345724/tested-do-acoustically-insulated-tires-really-hush-road-noise/ I found this article interesting (may have been posted in the past). For me I noticed no perceivable audible difference between the OEM 21” Michelins and the 20” Pirelli P-Zeros (without...

FWIW I’ve found 2021.36 to be glitchy—can’t open trunk or frunk from inside the car (icons are gray), driver door handle presenting then retracting then presenting then not opening, and keys not being recognized. 🙄

Roll races! Plaid lost a few this time

This damage was done by the OEM arachnid setup, so whatever that was in terms of poke. I only very recently switched wheels/tires.

One more question about PPF—did someone already post photos of their freshly applied replacement PPF product on the rear door/wheel after mileage? This is my car at 1500 miles and recently detailed. Honestly, for me, the sandblasted/rock chipped OEM PPF looks crappier than the chips on the...

Thanks for taking one for the team, Woody, in the name of research 😆

Is there touch up paint available for the triple black tint? Scratched one of my brand new wheels 😭

Sale pending

I replaced it with a carbon fiber finish emblem from Amazon (currently unavailable on their website). I really like it too. PM your address and I will send the chrome OE emblem to you.

Front tire and wheel #2

Front tire and wheel #1

Rear tire and wheel #1

Rear wheel and tire #2, center caps (have lug nuts) I tried to balance the wheels on my home scale to get a bare shipping weight. I believe it’s 65# each for the rear and 59# each for the front. I also included a screenshot of my app to show mileage 3 days after installation of my new...

ABS Modulator Assembly 🤦‍♀️

My car was towed in to Service on 9/11 with a similar error message set— regenerative braking disabled auto shift out of park unavailable steering assist reduced adaptive ride control degraded lane departure avoidance features unavailable automatic vehicle hold disabled traction control...

My radar detector turns itself on and off without any action on my part and worked consistently well until my car went in to Tesla service. We’ll see how it fares after….I dunno if they’ll have to remove any parts of it to repair the car. As of right now they have a targeted repair completion...

What happened with all of this? My car was towed in over the weekend and is in the “waiting for engineering for next steps” phase.

I don’t know for certain but I thought it was the 12 volt power socket lead they tied into

Thanks so much for sharing this. I ordered these tires on Saturday and was able to get them switched to Pirelli P Zero (PZ4). That howl would’ve bothered me. I know you really need an All Season tire in Chicago—we’re right on the edge of needing them in Charlotte.

Venting to the universe. Was preparing the car for drag strip mode and got all of the messages below. regenerative braking disabled auto shift out of park unavailable steering assist reduced adaptive ride control degraded lane departure avoidance features unavailable automatic vehicle hold...

Will do.

It is

Look forward to mounting these on my black MS!

See page 12 of Official Signature Wheel Gallery | Model S Plaid & Performance. within Driving Dynamics I don't know how to link to it

WALL-E for Pixar fans

It is set to Advanced. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain!

I have a question….I have a 2021 plaid and I’m running 2021.24.4. Another geographically local plaid forum member just updated to 32.5. The service center said 32.5 isn’t available for my vehicle. I don’t understand why that would be. I don’t wanna be argumentative with them about it. Can...

You picking up in CLT?

I really liked the way yours looked so I copied you. My car is filthy after driving through that Ida crap yesterday. I used this one from Amazon. It’s VERY well painted and sturdy metal. The trunk is curved as you know so I took time to work it down. Nansure Car Decals 3D Metal Alloy Rear...

he mentions it in this video and provides a link in the video description…I just noticed the link is hosted by blackvue featuring Andrew but if you post the query on the above video I could see him answering

Andrew of Tesla Plaid Channel on YouTube installed this. He’s responsive to comments and questions on his videos and just posted one advocating these (so your question would be relevant to his video) in case you wanted to ask him.

I have 2 regular and 1 tx. I was told it would be more effective and write ups seemed to support it. I would talk with the tech desk folks like Impastu (Woody) suggested to see if you agree.

Mine as pictured are 12” off the ground, in case you wanted to know

Great deal!

I had to set mine to 79 for about a year cause I’d gotten a few tickets within one year (many freeways here are 70mph zones)—I *hated* being passed by people during that period. Always wanted to jump in the group and speed with them but I’ll be darned if I didn’t get picked off outta the pack. I...

I bought this mostly because I wanted an integrated detector and the brand had decent reviews on rdforum.org where people more knowledgeable than me talk about radar detector technology.

I don’t—hardwired somewhere in the vicinity of the passenger footwell I believe.

In my lifetime I’ve gotten so many speeding tickets, some from behind (one in the stretch I’m driving tomorrow). I was told by the issuing officer of that particular ticket that speed in excess of 80mph in NC is a mandatory court appearance (unless you have an attorney to appear on your behalf)...

Just to clarify mine is both the ALP with the RC M https://radenso.com/products/radenso-rc-m

I will have to check that out! They told me that they would be willing to put it anywhere I wanted. Where it sits now it rotates for my viewing pleasure 😆

Hah— evasion is a steeper penalty than I’m willing to stomach. This girl ain’t cut out for jail. I have two components—the one above plus the one below— https://radenso.com/products/radenso-rc-m

Not much yet as I just picked up my car today. Tomorrow I’m driving approx 220 miles through areas where I know there will be opportunities to earn tickets so I’ll be sure to report back.

No they didn’t and I didn’t think to ask

I actually included a photo of the receipt with the cost breakdown. I do plan to speed a lot and spend some time in triples alley when it’s safe to do so (no risk to passengers or other drivers). As you’re probably aware North Carolina is the home to NASCAR (plenty of drivers that like to race)...
