Thanks I don’t post much in here because of getting flamed trying to help someone out. Camber is dynamic as you go around a corner or even sit in the car it changes. I agree when it gets to 1.9 or more it will show as uneven wear to retry

Almost all IDRS cars have negative camber. All Europeans do that’s for sure. The rear toe is what will wear that tire out. That camber is needed for proper handling also as the car is loaded and unloaded from the torque of driving the camber is changing all the time. The toe never changes unless...

The rear toe is adjustable. I own that alignment machine the Hunter Elite. Your car is pulling because the front Caster is incorrect. There cannot be more than a .5 degree difference in caster from left to right. Also most roads are crowned in the center to allow rain to run off. The correct...

If you could ship them I would take them today.

Would you take 2k?

Are there wheel speed sensors in the wheels?

Will you ship them?

Alignment does not cause vibration. Caster is the angle of the ball joints this does not cause vibration. Caster can cause pulling or pour handling. I own a hunter elite alignment machine and can assure you alignment will not cause vibration. Sucks you have this vibration problem. As you have...

I simply disagree with this mythical 100kw max for smaller packs. I have 70s and routinely on trips run it to 0 miles range left. It always churches at 110-119 KW until it starts tapering. Some chargers I have found maintain higher KW than others. As I always make the same trip to Orlando I...

I have a 2016 Model s 70s I bought it last Easter and have 28k on it. We routinely drive to Orlando from Kennesaw GA which is north of Atlanta. We usually go every other month and every time we drive below 0 miles the most I have gone is -7 miles but always -5. This has not hurt the battery at...

Looking at your photos I do not think that is alignment issue it is way too far to the side without the tire being worn at an angle. I believe something is rubbing when you go over bumps on that side. The rear camber can be adjusted it requires a new adjustable bolt to be installed in the...

I keep a Glock 17 in my glove box I have it wedged in there with some other items not in a holster it is facing where I can pop the glove box and have it in my hand within 2 seconds or less I have not actually timed it I use the Tesla umbrella on top of it seems to be the perfect spacing. Until...

Hello I would like to chime in I have owned and operated an Independent repair shop for a long time. The reason the brakes can still work is that it has multiple piston calipers so if 1 sticks the others will stop the car. The prices here are insanely high but just like all dealers they usually...

The cooling system on an ICE car is for cooling the engine block not the exhaust only a boat cools the exhaust and that uses the lake water to cool it. The ICE now a days is kept around 225ish on purpose but it is a lot easier to cool that then a battery/electric motor doing strenuous work. When...

No way could a 2 mph crash cause the subframe to be out of alignment. If it were that is not a hard thing to do that price is insane lol

I suggest that you use a tool such as a screwdriver or some such and depress the caliper piston this will allow you to see if th e pads move freely. You would need the wheels off which does not sound like a problem. The tool will be used to pry the pad back pushing in the piston on the caliper...

Neighbour does and I have taken many trips in it I know it is not steel it is aluminum which dissipates heat even better than steel. The R value on glass is never going to be as good as a solid object not in today's technology. Imagine if your house was filled with skylights it would be insanely...

Are you kidding you somehow think that 1/4 inch glass insulates against heat as well as a 4 inch barrier with steel and insulation. Have you had a solid roof? Because you can feel the heat coming through putting your hand near the roof you don't feel that in a solid roof.

I was disappointed that it had a notch back. I was really really disappointed with the all glass roof it is extremely hot in Atlanta and a roof like that would be unbearable in the hot summer no a/c system could keep up with that. I was so glad I could get my model s with a solid roof my...

Not sure if this story is true or not however I must say if you made it in life to where you can buy a 100k plus car in California no less where the cost of living is insane compared to where I live. You really should check your priorities wtf could be so important that you have to fight over a...

My advice would be to change it yourself it's not that hard have them ship you a battery. If that is out of the question buy a couple of jump boxes and hook one up make the drive. You could easily zip tie one in under where the frunk is.

To answer the original question yes the accident avoidance would have most likely stopped you in time. I notice when using auto pilot if someone has their blinker on and is going much slower than I am the car slows down. I would therefore assume it is ready under normal circumstances to hit the...

Finally going on Saturday at 3pm to pick mine up. I have a tennis match Saturday morning which I doubt I will be too focused on I hope they suck lol. I will post pics after I pick up and drive it around. I have not posted on that spread sheet as I cannot get it to work I fix cars for a living I...

The Prius is not comparable to the Tesla the Prius is using a different type of battery. The ideal charge is whatever you want the fact there is an 8 year unlimited mile warranty tells me the car is in control of the batteries safety. With that type of warranty the battery degradation is...

Thank you Islandbayy for posting this thread I have enjoyed reading the entire thread and the video Gracie was making me laugh and the story about the cop watching you lock your kids in your truck lmao. All of this worry about degradation is insane in IMO. The fact that they changed the Warranty...

Sounds like a CV joint from that short video hard to tell. If you go to a parking lot and turn in circles under acceleration how loud does it get?

Ideally don't under stand why they are doing alignments for no reason unless you have the worst roads ever you do not need an alignment ever 12500 miles not to mention whomever is doing the alignment has a setting wrong on the machine or doesn't know how to do an alignment properly. I own an...

I also went back and forth even test drove twice and sat in each type of seats listen to the different stereos and even compared pano and not pano. I live in a suburb of Atlanta as anyone knows it's balls hot here in the summer not much winter so I decided on the base 70 with autopilot, upgraded...

I have been in the car repair business for 30 years and the "special glue" is the lamest excuse I have ever heard I firmly believe you are dealing with a bush league repair shop. The amount of damage is so small it could easily be repaired. Not to mention that car was totally drivable for this...

That is strange I see now it's laying right there lol. That pad should literally last forever I would think because it's only used for parking like you said. It had to be defective.

Are you sure it separated it looks like the slides may be rusted and caused it to get into a bind and wear that pad out. When they get rusted and the brake applies it is supposed to relax back after it is disengaged. This would cause the pad to wear prematurely. How many miles I am surprised...

All cars on the road today have ball joints it is what allows the knuckle to pivot when the wheel is turned some cars have upper and lower but all cars on the road today have ball joints. No bushing could do what a balljoint does. While in a racing application it will be a more robust balljoint...

Since you live where I do you can get that old wheel repairs at The Wheel Wizard for much less than 1200 and it will look brand new.

If you have never done brakes before I would suggest getting your normal mechanic to do it if you have one. While brakes are not that hard if you know what you are doing trying to them not having tools jacks, jack stands, and general knowledge of a braking system sounds like a terrible idea. The...

Same thing for me my car went into production on 3-5-16. I also emailed and asked them nicely and was told no it's too late not that big of a deal considering I knew the wheels I had ordered. Are the old standard wheels lighter than the new ones they look like they have less material.

Ball joints won't improve handling putting in lower springs would probably make the most difference in handling for hard cornering. Stiffer struts would help I doubt they exist though for the model s the cheapest easiest thing will be the springs. As long as you don't have air suspension.

Considering you have children that age having a fancy Tesla will not make up for the number of events that you will miss that your children would rather have you at. There is no way in hell I would take that job. When I turned 41 I had a 3 year old and realized I worked too much and hired...

That is a set of replacement ball joints for the Model S. Apparently some of them have been failing.
