It doesn’t. In fact it looked really good with 18mm. If poke is what you’re going for then it offers that without looking overly aggressive.

Not sure if it is yet. Today I got dinged for ‘hard braking’ when I never touched the brakes. Ended up with 99 for the drive today, which is no big deal, but I’d remember if I actually needed to hit the brakes rather than let regen braking do the work. I’ll keep an eye out but that was some...

My premium currently reflects a 100 Safety Score, which I was able to finally achieve after a better understanding of how the software assesses the given safety metrics and adjusting my driving habits accordingly. Today, I received a notification that I will now be assessed based on the Beta 1.2...

Set it and forget it. Or just do what you want. I tend to err on the side of whatever the company recommends. But TETO.

I set it to charge to 90% at non-peak hours nightly. About a 40 mile round trip commute for me.

First couple times can be jarring but people pay good money to experience scarier $#!+ than that (albeit in a controlled environment). You should probably seek counseling for your fear of phantom braking when cruising on auto pilot. Probably not money wisely spent though. WWJD?

According to the person I spoke with at Tesla it is. I can confirm that the ride quality I’m experiencing is perfectly acceptable and I wouldn’t change it out.

I just threw up in my mouth a little 🤢 Hope you’re able to get this resolved without much more hassle. Really piss poor QAQC on Tesla’s part.

Looks good. How’s the quality?

Why throw away a good set of low mileage tires? I sold mine in the market place here when I went with a wider set on my MYP. I don’t think you’ll have a problem selling them as long as there’s no excessive wear or damage, and they are relatively low mileage. Just be sure to price them...

^ What I shared earlier in this thread.

Post the part numbers on your front and rear suspension when you get a chance. Trying to build a somewhat reliable knowledge base here for people who might have questions about their ‘23 MYP suspension and to see if it’s consistent with what others are getting. Thanks.

I actually filed a claim for minor damage the MYP sustained recently but decided to close the claim and come out of pocket since the repair cost was low and it was taken care of right away. A non issue. I was able to talk to a Tesla insurance rep via phone and email. No issues. If you’re a...

Phantom braking finally happened to me too. Bummer.

If your safety score increases then your premium should decrease, and vice versa. The higher the safety score the lower the premium. On another note, I’ve been consistently hitting a 100 streak now that I’ve successfully hacked aggressive turning.

Old school smooth R&B jams. Back in the day R&B radio stations like KMEL used to have a ‘Quiet Storm’/‘Slow Jams’ late night segment.

Classic quiet storm. ☝🏾

Why don’t you schedule a test drive to check out the ride quality for yourself? Maybe it’s just me, but I try to rely on my own personal experiences over the opinions of random internet people whenever possible. For the record, my wife and kids have never complained about the ride quality in...

Ford Gets Rid of Rivian https://www.thestreet.com/technology/ford-gets-rid-of-rivian

Coming around a corner, there was a guy with a bike standing off to the side of the on ramp. I didn’t see him originally because he was obstructed by large shrubbery. As I rounded the corner I was hit with a forward collision warning even though he was off to the side and I wouldn’t have hit him...

I wouldn’t file a claim for a rock chip on the windshield. Perhaps if the damage is expanding to a point where you would need to replace the windshield. Otherwise, I would just take it to Safelite, have them repair the minor damage, and eat the relatively low cost. Save the claim for more...

Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.

Here’s a nice app that helps with monitoring centrifugal acceleration in real time. I’m no longer getting dinged so much for aggressive turning.

What tire sizes did you end up with and are you running any spacers? 295/35/21, 275/35/21 + 10mm spacers on all four corners…

Had the same question and the answer I got was that range isn’t negatively impacted significantly enough to notice on a day to day normal driving basis. I’m getting roughly the same amount of range on my daily commute as I was before the swap, but unsure whether it’s the cold weather or the...

👍🏾

Yes. Moved the 275/35/21 to the front, running 295/35/21 in the rear.

I decided to switch out and run 10mm H&R Trak spacers on all four corners. Near flush with just a slight amount of poke all around. Looks great. Special thanks to Danny at Model+ for excellent comms and a fast turnaround on the order.

Nothing new and totally unrelated.

Sorry to hear. No shortage of assholes in this world that’s for sure.

I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying you can choose a 'Comfort' option as it relates to the suspension (the whole point of this discussion), or are you referring to the selectable 'Comfort' steering mode?

Not yet anyway. But to support your comment, a co-worker of mine (who is in the market for a Tesla BTW) explained to me that he would never give up his ICE pickup for the simple fact that he spends a lot of time in rural areas, driving hundreds of miles out in the middle of nowhere on multi-day...

Being anti-Tesla at this point is like being "anti-establishment". I agree that you will always have a segment of consumers who simply don't want what everyone else has and will actively seek out alternatives. What brands may not be as trendy today could be at some point in the future, and then...

In my day to day conversations with car and non-car people alike (friends, co-workers, family, etc.), most either want a Tesla or plans to buy one in the near future. I’d wager for most of the general public, Tesla is synonymous with EVs and probably the first brand most people think of when...

My rates have been decreasing since I picked up my MYP last November. Starting at the 90 base score @ $147.17 at pick up, now down to $106 that started in January. Upcoming premium is $94.67 for February and March based on a 99 average score.

Selling a pair of Bonoss (formerly Bloxsport) 15mm and 18mm hub centric wheel spacers. These are the higher quality, stronger, and more expensive 7075 forged aluminum sets. Ran them for around 1K miles (give or take) on my Model Y Performance, the 15mm in front and the 18mm in the rear. Now...

No need, but if you just need front mud flaps it’s too easy and convenient to just order the OEM parts from the factory through the app.

And to add, it’s not like Mando is some fly-by-night operation. I have full confidence in their products until proven otherwise. https://www.hlmando.com/en/main.do

I thought of something this morning that might have contributed to your issue, but it was a concern I had with the MYP. When corresponding with Bonoss about fitment, they mentioned that I might need to shave off some of the wheel lugs to ensure they would seat flush within the inner recesses of...

Jeezus…

The “Safelite wasn’t helpful” thing must’ve changed since then because they fixed a dime-sized chip in my windshield just a few weeks ago. I set up an appointment online, and the same day, was in and out within an hour. Can’t even tell there was any damage at all unless you’re really looking...

Test drove a Mach E GT a couple times before committing to the MYP. It was cool and all, but I trusted my gut, which told me the Y Performance was the way to go. The only other driver/performance oriented EV I considered was the BMW i4 M50. Since there was no way for me to test drive one (no...
