I drive up and down California monthly. Superchargers are always empty, except on Sunday afternoons. 🤷‍♂️

Yep, I have FSD.

I have a September 2021 Tesla Model S Long Range (not Plaid, just the peasant model). No real issues. I'm super OCD and a perfectionist so I do have Tesla fix random QA issues on the car; I don't think it's really specific to a 2021 model. I have 39K miles on it now. I don't track it but I...

Very plausible. I assume it's hand/handling wear. I did notice the wood trim on my driver side door is starting to "pop up" (like it's not smooth) from sun damage. I'm also using nice ceramic tint, including the lightest ceramic tint on front windshield. During Spring/Summer/Fall months, I...

Too bad Firebaugh is my typical northbound (LA to SJ) Supercharger. I roll in with like 15% of charge. There's closeby bathrooms, snacks, and McDonalds.

I'm super gentle with stuff and take care of things well. Sept 2021 Model S. It started peeling Summer 2023. For me, it was only peeling at the very tip of the yoke. I'm sure most people treat their yoke harder than I do. I guess don't be gentle with your yoke and it should peel eventually? LOL

From March 13th. You can see the caution tape and the "dark" chargers.

Horn is slighty elevated as it's a mechanical horn. There's new stiching. Cushion/comfort feels the same. The former horn button is now the camera button; no complaints as I frequently use the camera button. Now... I have to un-remember my muscle memory of looking for the haptic horn button...

I efing hate palming the right side. I turn on cruise control, do the weird staccato horn, and turns on my wipers.

I'm in SF Bay Area. I just picked up my car from the Sunnyvale Service Center and got my mechanical yoke replaced. Scheduled it last week, they said the parts were available, and painlessly installed it in the same day (today). Buttons feel the same to me but I've only driven a few miles.

I'm in the SF Bay Area with a 2021 Model S Long Range. I just got my yoke replaced with the mechanical horn. :D

Yep. Going southbound, I stopped by (didn't need to charge) because I needed to pee. I noticed the working chargers were lit up; broken ones were dark and haphazardly caution taped off. Going northbound, I stopped (Firebaugh is my usual charging spot) and charged at one of the lit up working...

It's been closed/degrade since at least early February; I passed through in early Feburary. There was Cybertruck review video where they "accidentally" went to Firebaugh and couldn't get charged; that was January.

I drove through here and noticed it was opened. I didn't stop though.

BTW, Firebaugh has been "down/closed/degraded" for couple months. It still works. I've charged at one of the 24 available chargers. Anyone know what's going on?

I ended up buying this for my parent's place in LA. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B4PGMHK9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 Works well. Sometimes, it requires an unplug/replug because it errors out (blinks CCID20, ground fault). It's been handy as I occasionally stop by...

How did you determine 1637790-S0-G is the 16GB computer? I'm getting a warranty replacement of the computer (unrelated) and they're replacing it with 1637790-S0-G.

OH, I totally missed this. Thanks!

Are you doing the install yourself? Or do you have a shop that you can recommend? I can drive down to SD (from SJ) for a few days to get it installed, lol. And yeah, my Uniden R7 has been good enough for me on the highways. I don't see Lidar used "as much" as Radar.

Hello! I already have a Model S and a shorter (16 feet) Tesla wall connector. My finacee is buying a Model Y in August. I'm looking to get the 24 feet Tesla wall connector so we don't have to swap car positions to charge the car. Question: Are they still giving those $200 promo codes that...

I'm interested as well. I had an ALP system on a previous car. A highly rated audio equipment installer installed it and did a terrible job. If I could find a good installer, I wouldn't mind retrying this again.

Bump!

I bought that exact same UGREEN adapter. I also used a brand new (retail packaging) 256GB Sandisk Max Endurance; it was sent direct from Sandisk RMA/Warranty. The card died last night. I got about 4 months out of it, which is about the lifespan as I get with the Sandisk Mobile Mate. Over the...

Bump, $160.

Oops, I forgot to list price. $170.

Brand new Tesla Model S All-Weather Rear Cargo Liner Set. I only opened the box to make sure it was there. It was never used or installed on a car. It fits the 2021+ Tesla Model S Long Range or Plaid. https://shop.tesla.com/product/model-s-all-weather-rear-cargo-liner-set SOLD

Everytime I horn, my cruise control, windshield wipers, etc... go off. There's so many times where I couldn't horn because my yoke was in an awkward turning position. And even more times where I'm fumbling for the button. I love my '21 MS LR with Yoke. But I ****ing hate the horn. It's the...

Same. I spend most of my time on north end of Napa Valley. I'll be staying at Alila Napa Valley in St Helena this weekend. :)

It would be so nice to supercharge and grab a coffee and macarons from Bouchon, haha.

Details on the DV claim? Did you just sent it to at fault party's insurance?

Personally, I think Yountville would be a great location for superchargers.

I was hoping this would be closer to Tahoe Valley, Lake Valley, etc... But this location is kinda cool when you're coming up (or leave). I think I would Supercharge on my way in, and L1 charge at an Airbnb.

I usually stay at hotels in St Helena or Yountville. My favorite hotel, Alila Napa Valley, has a couple Tesla chargers. However, they're frequently blocked in by the valet. I generally prefer the hotels, dining, and wineries in St Helena, Yountville, etc... Personally, the hotels in City of...

Thx! I will these pads in mind for the future. For the time being, when I'm driving like an asshole, I just leave myself plenty of runway to stop, LOL.

Thanks! I need to set some time this week to test fit mine on my '21 MS LR before my Tahoe trip this week. Luckily, it doesn't appear to be snowing. (It didn't snow the weekend I went in January 2022 so I never got around to do it, LOL.)

https://unpluggedperformance.com/product/model-s-plaid-performance-track-brake-pads/ They do advertise these as "street + track day" pads.

As a thought, did you folks adjust/verify the chains? I noticed this manual wasn't included with Konig. https://pg-assets.com/assets/19CA0EFBE5924345A5EC8580456182A2/doc/84D9A55348934872A132375F0EE263C1/200/200/2019800931_ISTRUZ._K-SUM_2019.pdf See page 6. I have to check/adjust/verify mine...

Damn, I have a '21 Model S and I'm going to Tahoe next weekend. I bought the Konig chains from etrailer (before they released it on Tesla store). I will keep an eye out. I will make an effort to test out the chains before leaving town.

That might not be an ideal solution. High performance pads tend to generate more brake dust, squeal more, need warm-up, and more aggressive on rotors. Would be nicer if Tesla just went with a bigger rotor, caliper, and more pistons. I have an old rice rocket with 4-piston Stoptech big brake...

Did you ever pay the SC to install it?

I ended up taking my roof rack off. It wasn't too hard to install/remove. I actually need to reinstall it this week for a Tahoe trip, lol. As an upgrade for myself, I think I'll take my car into the local tint/clear-bra shop. I want them to redo the ghetto 3m clear bra for the rubber seats...

Anyways, I’m planning to buy the Tesla SSD. It’s claims to be rated for extreme cabin temperatures. And more storage space (1TB vs 256GB micro SD) means less wear on each NAND. And if Tesla QA can be trusted (lulz), it probably works well. Ignoring the $350 cost, it’s a better solution for me.

Sandisk warrantied it with proof of serial number and receipt. I’m assuming that was verification that it was an authentic product.

There’s a massive difference between writing a single sequential 4k write to disk, than 4x non-sequential 720p writes to disk. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Write_amplification “Random Writes: Writing to non-sequential LBAs will have the greatest impact on write amplification”

While I understand that it's "rated" for 234 TBW, it's still a $60 card with consumer-grade MLC/TLC that uses "tricks" to make it more reliable (i.e. overprovisioning, wear leveling). I'm speculating that Max Endurance is the same memory as your typical $20 Sandisk card, but "binned" for higher...

If it wasn’t for the upcoming Tesla SSD, I might have tried the biggest SLC SD card I can find. Something like this. https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/delkin-devices-inc/SE32TRZFX-1B000-3/13882292 https://www.delkin.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/SD-Industrial-Spec-Sheet-Jan-2021.pdf

I did notice it was hot. However, when I purchased it, I checked the datasheet and operating temps. IMHO, my cabin temps in Bay Area are well within the operating temps. Yep, Sandisk warrantied my first failed one without any questions. Presumably, Sandisk also validated the serial numbers...

One of the failed cards was successfully warrantied by Sandisk (with legit serial number and Amazon receipt). I'm also super meticulous in shopping. It's unlikely that I purchased counterfeit cards. I also have two of the Sandisk readers. It's a possibility that the reader firmware is...

I don't think anything is wrong with the car. From my work experience (former infrastructure SRE that worked closely with hyperscale datacenter hardware), I'm believe/speculating the Sandisk Max Endurance card just isn't up to the task of dashcam SD card. One of my work projects was dealing...

I killed two 256GB "Max Endurance" (designed for dashcam use) in my 2021 Tesla Model S. Just killed my 2nd one last week. And yes, I always buy from Amazon.com, shipped from Amazon.com; I never buy from unauthorized resellers or third party stores...
