The store recommends SunTint on Koenig. They've done Porsches for me in the past, they do very good work. I haven't had them do mine yet because I want the ceramic tint and they want to do every window (including the windshield and pano roof in clear) and that's a bit pricey.

I wish more people would read this article from the guys at Stop Tech: -Warped- Brake Disc and Other Myths They make very high performance brakes for racing applications and they say every single "warped" rotor they've seen is caused by uneven depositing of brake material on the disc. Have...

Indeed. That rear alignment is so terribly wrong it's difficult to use the word wrong to describe it. Get it realigned immediately.

After extended conversations with the service center, that does indeed appear to be the case. Keep in mind, their service techs kind of do everything. They don't have an "alignment guy" and even if they did, the only cars they ever see are made by Tesla. Since they don't know alignment and...

My service center aligned my car at least once (looks like twice) with -0.25 of toe on each side. That's an extreme amount of toe out. However, the machine they used for alignment said factory spec was -0.30 to -0.10, so that's what they set it to. Unsurprisingly, my 21" Michelins didn't last.

So... I've been wondering about the fact that the car was extremely loose in the rear under heavy acceleration. Thought maybe it didn't have the new bushings or camber bolts, but that wasn't the case. Then the car just burned through a set of the PS2s in less than 6k miles. Inside edge...

They did the alignment in late December. I asked them to check it for precisely this reason. Now I'm wondering if they had the right update on the machine at the time.

Well, at 6k miles on my P85+, I've encountered this "issue" as well. I've driven a lot of track cars and owned a lot of high performance automobiles, and the only tires I went through faster were a set of R-888's I used on a car that saw track duty almost as often as street duty. I still got...

To me, the thing to take away is how little cabin intrusion there is even in the worst collisions. I'm always amazed when I find Mercedes-Benzs in the junkyard, even the hardest collisions seem to leave a very pristine interior cabin and doors that still open. The Tesla looks like it's even...

Do all P+ cars have these updated arms? Kind of curious as my P85+ seems a little squirrelly under hard acceleration.

My Porsche would roll down the windows if the lock/unlock button was held down after unlocking. It would roll them all up if it was held down after locking. I wish the Tesla functioned the same way.

I thought I was the last, I got it last night.

I'm still waiting as well, and I'm not one of the 5.6 holdouts. I always update as soon as the software comes down to the car.

I'd like to be able to roll up the windows from the Tesla application. Windows were down on the car and it sucked that I had to run outside in the rain to put them up. I can close the sunroof, why not the windows?

My car is on wi-fi every night and still waiting on 5.9.

I've done software testing before. An NDA and disclaimer or other such legal agreement isn't scary to me. I'd actually enjoy finding testing out the new software, and as an owner who has gotten zero new features since buying the car, I'm ready. I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE

Display lied. I was wrong.

I mean, I can set it to whatever setting I want and it will stay. If it's in low, I stay in low. If it's in normal, it stays there.

I have P85+ I got just a couple months ago. It's on the latest firmware, so I've never had the low setting above a walking speed. This afternoon I set it for demonstration and then drove off. I'm on the freeway at about 40mph (rush hour traffic) and notice it's still in low. Did we get it...

So they replaced the whole motor pack today. The car now definitely feels like the one I just borrowed, so I'm inclined to believe there was something wrong in there, just no idea what. Luckily, it was one of the other problems I brought it in for that led to the motor replacement. I had...

Can't seem to edit posts. I don't want that to sound snarky, I just wanted to state that I am very familiar with car dynamics and control systems. I can understand why you guys would throw that out, most people who buy these cars aren't used to this kind of power or how cars behave at the...

For the record, I instruct for several High Performance Driving Schools, so I'm quite familiar with the traction control and what that feels like. Ditto on tire wear, and my previous Porsche wore identical Pilot Sports several times in its life. There's a few performance tires I prefer...

Roughly, yes. Though I'll admit my car was lower when I dropped it off than the one I picked up. However, it appears they're replacing something (inverter? converter?) in the rear of the car due to passenger complaints of road noise in the right rear seat. Maybe that had something to do...

Anyone else notice this? Granted, I have a former P85+ demo car that came to me with 10,000 miles. But if definitely felt "sharper" and quicker when I first got it. I thought that I had just gotten used to it over 2,000 miles, but I was given a loaner P85+ this morning with 2,000 miles on...

Oddly enough, I've got a friend who's a long-time professional valet. Yes, they have insurance and yes, they pay if something happens to the car while they're driving. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen. Park 10,000 cars and you're going to bump one. They're professionals in every...
