I have had the RPMtesla skid plates for a while. I needed to take them off recently and noticed indentations in the foam. I am wondering if this is causing pressure on components and maybe causes some sort of wear or potentially premature failure? (I drilled the three holes at the contact points...

The stretch helps clear the knuckle. But yeah, it's really close, maybe 2mm of space in the gap. Falken Wildpeak AT Trails 245/55/R19 on stock Gemini wheels 45psi cold unmodified MYLR, no rubbing, after about 300 miles.

Before and After. Falken Wildpeak AT Trails 245/55/R19 on stock Gemini wheels on unmodified MYLR. No rubbing, no contact even at full turns. Bottom of the car rides about 0.9" higher. Boot under mudflap for illustrative purposes. The tire is officially 29.7" in diameter (per Falken), which every...

Was it the MPP spacers that you had to dremel to fit?

Can you share which vendor sold you the spacer that doesn't fit?

Ah, disregard, I see tire/wheel combs that add 1.6 inches to tire diameter without issue. But it seems like 29.6" tire diameter is a practical limit. On an unrelated topic: anyone try the PU leveling spacers to lift? If I don't want a 1.7 or 1.85" lift, but only a 0.8" lift, it seems like an...

Except installation is not the same: you do not have to remove the struts or springs for SPACCERS because that have a slot, they are not a complete ring, so you can slip them in or out easily. And you can add 0.5" of lift at a time, up to 2". The other competitors require disassembly, and are...

I like this definitive answer. Now, what is the best wheel offset for that tire size? And wheel width?

Thanks. Can I ask your wheel/tire combo for the 1" lift? That adds 2" to tire diameter?

The silence is deafening. I am still going back and forth between the spacers, springs, or coilovers. I definitely somehow want a ~1.75" lift and am willing to pay for periodic CV joint replacement. Technically the UPP coilover approach seems to make the most sense. But it is expensive, shop...

So, still not saying who makes the shocks?

So, as a rule of thumb, someone with a 1.8" lift may need to replace CV joints every 15-20k miles?

Any reports from people who have lifted (spacers, springs, or coilovers) and then went back to normal height? Why? Some people warn about CV joint wear increased with lifts, is this really a problem now that people have been lifted for a few years?

I am curious if you are happy after getting the lift. What are the implications with Tesla warranty service? What tires did you get after lifting? Did you get more than a 5% efficiency hit on the highway?

Excellent. Thank you.

Maybe Central and South America? So NACS can become ACS?

Thank you all. Following up on this. There were no error codes, no leaking fluid. I made a service appointment, first available was today, 5 days after the incident. Drove the 2.5hrs to the service center and they futzed with it for 3 hrs. They say the battery is ok, the dent in the bottom they...

Is there a tolerance for how deep a dent has to be in the battery before one needs to worry about it? Encountered some road debris at relatively slow speed ~10-15MPH. RPMtesla aluminum skid plate took up some of the damage, but looks like it bounced and hit the battery, making a 1/2" dent. My...

From the Tesla mission statement: "We design sustainable systems that are massively scalable—resulting in the greatest environmental benefit possible.". They have already created a sea change in the perception of consumer cars. The next biggest impact is in commercial vehicles. So I hope it is...

Air suspension so I can add 1.5-2" of ground clearance for a rutted gravel road. Without this, stop calling it an SUV. V2L would make the car a lot more useful. An option to delete the glass roof and instead allow a roof rack with more weight capacity. Camera to help avoid curb rash.

Greetings. I am giving up on waiting for an EV suitable for my needs appearing on the market. My original plan was to purchase a model Y and try to keep it stock so I could trade it in once I found an appropriate car. however, the used Tesla market is now collapsing, so the need to preserve the...

Re: braking. I am on the latest non FSD non beta release. Braking is sudden and hard enough that I fear being rear-ended by any traffic behind me. Or at least inducing road rage in people behind me, thinking I am brake-checking them. Once the braking starts, it continues until autopilot is...

Just came home from a 8,500 mile coast-to-coast and back odyssey. I tried to avoid interstates as much as possible, but the surperchargers are where they are. A couple of observations: - Antelope/deer are an issue: - I wish, on the nav screen, the "estimated charge at destination" was more...

As stated above, there is a gray market adapter from Korea that allows tesla charging from a CCS charging cable. Does there not also exist an adapter that allows CCS vehicle to charge from Tesla chargers? No need to build in extra cables, just carry around adapters.

It is definitely not for everyone, and its definitely not for the typical Tesla owner.... :)

Any EV cargo van with an EPA range over 225 miles. Hoping my Canoo preorders turn into actual vehicles, will immediately sell my MYLR, quite happily. And I hope this happens before the used Tesla market crashes after TX production ramps up and order times decrease. I wish Brightdrop would return...

Correction: how do I SUGGEST a software change.

Question: how do I request a software change? Specifically, I would like to be able to specify a temperature range for camp mode, instead of a specific single temperature the hvac should target. Right now you set the environmental controls to a single temperature and it heats/cools to get there...

I am wondering if anyone has tried putting acoustic tiles on the inside of the panoramic roof? Stick on floor carpet tiles on the ceiling to absorb sound?

Picked up MYLR5 MSM/blk/19/+tow two days ago. At the time used a checklist to go over the vehicle thoroughly. A couple of days later and I have notice three things, not important enough for me to drive the 100+ miles back to the service center. 1) hub cap on front passenger side has a warp to...

Three day old MYRL. No charging at home. Two questions: - Left in Sentry mode, observed 5% battery loss in 12 hrs (63% -58%.) overnight. Is that excessive or expected? Ryzen maybe burning more in Sentry mode? - Superchargers in my area are not heavily used. If I set them to charge at ~50kw...

So, if I was just issued a NF374xxx VIN this morning, its probably an older reject?

This would be particularly useful during any interactions with law enforcement.

1) higher ground clearance. Possibly through air bag adjustability. But it calls itself an SUV with less than 7inches? 2) an optional 120vAC outlet. This would go some ways toward the "utility" bit. 3) an option to replace the panoramic roof with a solar array. Not to add range, but just to help...

I would expect any plug in hybrid to drive like a hybrid if you dont plug it in. Gas motor charges the battery so you have power for periods of acceleration. Dont plug it in: gas engine runs more often.

It is not "have to charge AND put gas in a car", the attraction is that it is OR. You can charge it, or you can put gas in it. You don't have to do both, the car is functional either way.

At this moment, I would take whichever I could get first, either a MYLR or a RAV4 Prime. The RAV4 Prime offers two things that the MYLR lacks: usable ground clearance and a 120V outlet. Alas, RAV4 Prime looks like unobtainium, and my EDD for the MYLR keeps slipping.

Is it possible the AMD/Ryzen draws less power, reducing phantom load in sentry mode and general battery drain in non-driving modes?

Ah, disregard. I see sales tax is paid on full price, not price after trade in, so there is no benefit there. The plan to buy now and trade in later suffers double taxation.

But then would need to get 8%+ more, to cover the sales tax. Trade ins are appealing since they reduce sales tax?
