    Newbie Questions (Avoid if newbies annoys you)

    Question, I turned off (at least I am pretty sure I did) any volume increase of the radio automatically when accelerating, yet the car still does it. Is there another setting I ha e to turn off? It definitely increases the volume when i floor it.

    Tesla drops prices on X/S $20k. All colors free. Bye bye resale

    Agree to disagree, the plaid is not a 75k car, in any stretch of the imagination, at 90k its a deal given its technology and performance. If you are the same Racer X making utube videos and being called ‘sensitive’ on Hellcat forums, then we have similar car tastes, and If both the d170 and...

    Formatting SSD for Steam limits dashcam/sentry partition to 64GB

    I definitely was not going to do both, I was only showing the 128GB drive because my Tesla formatted it to a 120 GB exFat partition, BUT then when I put in the 2TB Samsung T9, my tesla formatted it to just 60GB exFat. (both drives were NOT in the car at the same time). So how do I format the...

    Newbie Questions (Avoid if newbies annoys you)

    Right, thats what I found out. Basically if you KNOW what you want to read about in the 'in car' manual, then you are fine. But if you are a NEWBIE like me, its not a 'open book and read' approach, so I found it mediocre at best on teaching me about stuff I didn't already know about. I'll...

    Newbie Questions (Avoid if newbies annoys you)

    I did try to 'read' the manual in the Tesla, in one of my 'wait on the kids for an hour' thing, and it wasnt as intuitive as I had hoped, but is that what you are talking about, is the one built into the car, or is there another one I should get?

    Formatting SSD for Steam limits dashcam/sentry partition to 64GB

    Any help in what I need to do to my 2T drive would be greatly appreciated. Do I need to create partitions, or leave it as is, (Tesla made the one) (Image shows original 128 GB Tesla usb, and my 2TB Samsung T9.

    2tb SSD partitions

    Newbie needs help here, so I have the 128GB stock drive, but I too have a 2024 Tesla S with Steam, so my kids add a LOT of games to it. Can someone please give me guidance on best setup. Here is a screenshot of how the TESLA formatted both drives.... stock 128gb and then the 2TB Samsung T9.

    Newbie Questions (Avoid if newbies annoys you)

    I know tesla has all those cameras, but from what I understand they dont 'record' or saving the recording unless you beep the horn? Should I get a dashcam too? Or do I need to setup the 'built in' dashcam to do some kind of continuous loop without having the beep? (and my understanding is the...

    1. In my case it was cheaper to nix her.. lol (Divorced) (we have 4 cars, but my sons claim the Tesla is the best of them all, which they pick every time) 2. Yeah, it basically told me I was going to wait longer for charging to complete because I didnt tell the car what my plans were. 3. I have...

    Service to my place is very strong. Like I think I have (2) 200 service feeds into the house. In the garage there's a 200 amp breaker box. So I'll be good. Thanks!

    Genuinely appreciate it. Thank you! I just went to the car to find the lighting bolt.. no such luck. I looked on both the main screen and the nav screen. Any screen shot of this?

    I've been on forums since the 90s, so I'm well aware of the 'search feature' and I have used it, but keep coming up short on a few questions. I apologize to those who are better searchers than me, but feel free to drop appropriate links and I'll go read them. Here are my questions if you want...

    Sleeping with the Enemy!!

    Its already on my to-do list. I intentionally got the 19 inch wheels becasue I did NOT want to invest any money in another set of 20s, when I knew the track pack came with wheels/tires. $20,000 is absolutely a reasonable price in my book for wheels/tires/brakes/rotors, I just have a hard time...

    What Size, 1 TB or 2 TB ? (and how do you 'secure' it from sliding around in the glove box? While we are at it, I noticed that my 2 usb-C in the arm rest, seem to be the only ones that can 'recharge' a ps5 controller, the back two, under the rear screen 'work' but they wont charge anything...

    Sleeping with the Enemy!!

    Quick question, I tried to use the search feature, but I wasnt getting the results I hoped for. Should I get the Tesla 1TB SSD? I want to record video while driving, like a dash cam, the stock USB stick only seems to record if you honk the horn or put it in sentry mode. Let me know please...

    Much appreciated. Yeah, I have to get to reading the manual, some of the stuff you said I knew, but other stuff I did not! My teenage boys will love farting cars lol. Thanks !!

    Well I took him to gap town so probably just regular Y, I’ll pull the video. Im sufficiently less proud of my Durango Hellcat now, although that same race I was dead heat on a 2021 Corvette w/ z51.

    Right, no reason not to throw a free shirt at a customer on such a big purchase. The car I raced in my Durango hellcat was NOT a plaid, I just wasnt sure if there’s 2 suv model teslas. I just know I beat the dual motor tesla suv. Lol those shipping guards are the hottest topic Dodge forums...

    Lol that’s goos feedback, I’m in IT, so reading manuals goes against my DNA, but I’ll follow the guidance. And as far as swag, I mean Dodge is 100 years old and they still give put swag lol.

    Sleeping with the Enemy!!

    Great question, but my perspective is skewed. And here is why, first Steve white motors as a dealership doesn’t do all that fee add on crap that most other dealers do, no doc prep, no lug nuts fee, no vin etch crap, etc. so any dodge dealerships doing this crap are already a step down, now I...

    Sleeping with the Enemy!!

    I do actually, I get my cars from 1 dealer (steve white motors) and so I usually get them at invoice, employee pricing, msrp or a very marginal adm (when Demons allocations were selling for 100k over I got mine for $10k over (I ordered mine how I wanted). So always below ‘market’ but again...

    Sleeping with the Enemy!!

    I can’t deny that the Tesla is actually the best of the 4 for daily driving, my kids ask ‘we going to take the tesla?!’ Any time we head to the garage. Its the new car but its still the all around best. Oddly the Durango Hellcat is second best. The 807hp Redeye and 1050hp Demon170 are just...
