    Vendor New Refresh Headlights & Taillights for Tesla Model S 2012-2020 | T Sportline x Alpharex collab NOVA Headlights and Pro Series Taillights

    The cutoff and step down are awesome, you really notice it when you pull up behind another car and when you roll down into a dip in the road. What I notice is the massive LUX increase. I can signs and reflective surfaces much sooner than the old OEM's. My eyeball meter is happy. I really...

    First ever post on YouTube, try not to laugh... here are the AlphaRex NOVA LED headlights in a 2016 Model S, shot using my iPhone.

    Vendor New Refresh Headlights & Taillights for Tesla Model S 2012-2020 | T Sportline x Alpharex collab NOVA Headlights and Pro Series Taillights

    That’s a pretty bold comment. One of the key leaders from Morimoto just joined TSportline, they have been in the automotive lighting business a long time. I love the new headlights in my S, they smoke the crappy stock 2016 LEDs.

    Vendor Cybertruck SnapPlate+ Removable and Lockable Front License Plate Holder for Tesla Cybertruck

    I do like the locking security screws, do you include those for the plate too or just the holder? Do you have any plans to make one out of stainless steel?

    Vendor Cybertruck SnapPlate+ Removable and Lockable Front License Plate Holder for Tesla Cybertruck

    Should we be concerned that the plate is covering up the radiator? I was planning to mount mine off to the left or right of radiator intake. Also do you have a way to secure the plate so no one steals it?

    Tire Noise

    LOL... I'm as far right as they come, burn all the oil, coal, firewood, you want. I don't buy into the Fear Uncertainty and Doubt (FUD). These cars pollute as much as any other, just in different ways. The brake and tire dust alone is probably the largest carcinogen, and with the heavy weight...

    Tire Noise

    I think Carbon Atoms are the base, bonded in a linear fashion as crystals,I am no expert, but I believe it starts out as carbon fiber thread, which is then weaved to make a Tow, that are weaved/stitched with tailored fiber placement to make everything from Dyneema ropes, Tents, wheels, armored...

    Prediction: Model X price will be reduced to $78K in January 2024

    I think the big announcement is they fixed the doors so they will open all the way for the front passenger and driver side.

    Charging port light

    I’m OCD. Did it as fast as I could get an appointment. So like a month or so. No charge means no motion and I don’t like that. It don’t effect charging.

    Charging port light

    I diagnose your car with charging hemorrhoids, :oops:just had this fixed on my 2016 with 120K miles for ~$250.

    Sounds like a perfect agency to defund, since it's redundant to one that exists already globally. NHTSA - No Headlight That Shines Allowed.

    Is it possible to roll down the window between 2nd row seat and the trunk - for sleeping in the trunk with AC or to carry long items. Thanks.

    I bet one of the first aftermarket modes will be a replacement rear window that slides open...

    The Cybertruck's fatal flaw that they don't want you to know:

    I know, I was at an event this weekend with several friends who have RN112XXXXXXXX reservations and we were at Tyco Road checking out the CT they are getting VINS assigned. I am a RN113XXXXXXX reservation. Weird thing is we are all in the same industry and every exec I know has a CT...

    The Cybertruck's fatal flaw that they don't want you to know:

    I wonder, if the control arms are designed to break away in a front end collision? If they were super beefy, the passenger would be wearing a 35" tire in their lap, I don't think I have ever owned a truck with stock control arms, I replaced them on my Toyota 3 times, I broke the OEM ones, then...

    Refresh Model S. Would you purchase again?

    This is funny, I should have to open a service manual to put the car in neutral.... I have been using this OS for 12 years and never had to open the service manual, The UI should make it clear,,, do you think the car wash guys knew how to do it? I had to show them too and they have the added...

    Out of Spec doing a Cybertruck vs. R1T vs. Lightning vs. Silverado EV cross country race. Who wins?

    Hopefully they pulled the mirrors off, I already ordered new stick on mirrors to pass state inspection. Just stick to the A Pillars for the Feds.

    Tire Noise

    I have carbon fiber wheels on my S and they make a huge difference in road noise. Even my wife who doesn't notice anything in a car noticed the difference when she drove my S verses her X. Its all about tire compound and attenuating road noise, carbon absorbs the NVH, aluminum transmits it...

    Out of Spec doing a Cybertruck vs. R1T vs. Lightning vs. Silverado EV cross country race. Who wins?

    Essentially a Pinewood Derby for EV tech nerds, I wonder who gets rear ended first doing 40 MPH in a 75 MPH zone.

    Refresh Model S. Would you purchase again?

    Forgot to add, they also came with steering wheel stalks.... this haptic button crap has gone way over the top. I was at the car wash yesterday trying to figure out how to put the X in neutral, it was FING stupid...... Just found out about this, only had the X for about a month....so learning...

    Out of Spec doing a Cybertruck vs. R1T vs. Lightning vs. Silverado EV cross country race. Who wins?

    Before @T3SLAROD shows up and tells you the Ford will win, it won't, whomever can use the Supercharger network will win. Silverado should win, but the CSS Network is like a FFord, frequently found on road dead... The truck with the smallest EV wheels and tires will win.

    How much does Ford pay per week for your service? I may need to hire you for an election project. ;)

    Probably less than the other car. I could fix that with a hammer and a torch. Would love to see the other vehicle.

    Refresh Model S. Would you purchase again?

    If they reinstate FUSC and treat their legacy customers like we funded the company, I would consider buying a PLAID. Iif they don't I may end up with a Porsche once they switch to the NACS charging standard. Tesla had a customer for life, I almost feel like a traitor putting this out on TMC...

    These LUX output numbers from the graphic below are for the 3 & Y, not the S. The 2016 Model S only outputs 5 LUX at 150 Feet verses 41.5 LUX with the AR NOVA's. Also keep in mind the Model 3 & Y AR NOVA lights only have 4 Ice Cube projectors and the Model S has 5 Ice Cube projectors, so it...

    Once you added the government regulator comment, Level 3 will be later than 2030 and Level 4 with be later than 2040. Also which government EU or USA.
