    $724 for TPMS sensor?

    The sensor batteries are potted with a very tough sealant so they can survive inside the tire. Replacing the batteries is not something I would try. It you look at a sensor you will know why.

    In my case, is having a pro do a ceramic coating worth it?

    You don't need a pro to wax your car but to do it right you need an orbital to apply it for the best finish. I live in the desert, not much rain but lots of hot sun and dust. If the car gets dirty I wash it with cold water spray, no soap. The ceramic holds up much better than plain wax and...

    Tsportline wheels to replace 19" Tempests with OEM tires?

    I sold the Tempest wheels with tires. Bought the 19 inch Tsportline wheel and tire package With TST wheels. Now I can rotate them if I choose. Wait for a sale if you're not in a hurry. I also like the Space Gray color, hate black.

    Solar Production dropped by over half!

    The best thing to do in this case is hire a thermal drone inspection. It will quickly tell you what the panel problem is. I do thermal inspections.

    Intermittent charging at home

    It would be good to have someone scope the voltage output under load and see if there’s any fluctuations the car doesn’t like ups and downs in voltage.

    Plaid subwoofer upgrade

    I have a late 22 S and can't imagine needing more thump. It is solid and distortion free. In my early S I had an aftermarket sub in the rear lower compartment that worked really well.

    Park Assist and 23.12.300.1

    For more help in the garage, add a small bumper on the floor for the front tire.......or hang a tennis ball from the ceiling.......very accurate.

    12v spare?

    There is a very good chance that your battery could die anytime now, especially after 2 1/2 years. If it dies you are locked out of the car and the only way to get in is through the 12 V connection at the front of the car if you have a 12 V source to use.. I have had three batteries die at the...

    Using thermal imaging to detect solar roof module issues?

The Ukraine military purchased 300 recently and I think they bought up all the inventory....they get priority. My...

    Discovering Great Apple Music Quality

    I have been a long time fan of Slacker using their optional 320 bit quality but lately have gone over to Apple Music in my late 2022 refresh. As long as I manually restart it every time I drive, its great. Music with high production value simply sounds fabulous in the S.....Madonna, Billy...

    Adaptive suspension set to low and comfort - hitting bump stops on speed-bumps and rough roads?

    With the suspension on low you have very limited travel before hitting the bump stops......hence a bumpy ride over the rough stuff.

    Model Y wh / mi super high

    You should be around 250 with normal driving and staying under 65 mph. If your zooming off from every light and not taking advantage of regen the numbers go up. Its easy to stay around 250 in the city with careful driving. At 80 mph you will be 300+.

    2021 MS refresh new purchase questions

    Wheels and tires are correct. 329 miles sounds a little low. Mine runs 360-365 at 90%. It can depend on the charging routine the previous owner used. You could run it down to 5 or 10% a couple times then do a full charge and see if it changes.

    Looking for pricing: Tesla Model S Plaid Blk with FSD and 21" wheels

    Probably. I would wait a few days to a week and allow prices to adjust to the recent $5000 drop in the price of a new one. Cars.com and auto trader are great places to track prices. You can save your favorites there.

    Model 3 SR+ showing 166 miles at 80% charge.. is that right?

    What you get depends mostly on your speed….faster you get less….slower more . This also true of ice vehicles. Estimated range is based on an average speed of 55-60 mph.
