It doesn't matter how good the damping is if they didn't get the spring rates right. So it's interesting that their website gives all the attention to Ohlins and neglects the Swift springs. Based on the OP driver feedback, it sounds as if they did a good job.

Great task write-up! I had L5 surgery so appreciate lumbar adjustment. Thanks!

I drive past twice daily and nearly always check how many and what kind of Teslas. Awesome addition the the Panama City Beach area.

There's a consensus: https://climate.nasa.gov/scientific-consensus/ Even the scientists for the big petroleum companies recognize anthropogenic climate change: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/climate-consensus-97-per-cent/2018/mar/23/in-court-big-oil-rejected-climate-denial Let's...

I forgot to look for the meter. But I saw a black X cuddling a charger.

Photos as of today, Wednesday, 19Aug20.

Very cool. Drove by them today in the Miata. Soon to be Model Y.

Thanks for the heads up about the planned Gainesville and Crawfordsville chargers. The latter is in the panhandle. Regarding the VW settlement, I don’t understand the comment about the turnpike. The map shows chargers far north of the turnpike. The settlement funds were to benefit the State...

We got burned with one of those VW cheater diesels, and there are zero chargers shown for Northwest Florida. In my town, we can get 500,000 tourists during peak season. Major interstate, rest areas, communities recovering from Hurricane Michael. Guess the votes aren’t needed here.

I actually appreciated the question posed to me about my personal use of the PCB supercharger and battery degradation, as it ultimately served to inform my use of this supercharger, since I live and work here and pass it twice daily. No problem with moving the posts, but I wanted to say that I...

Thanks for the data. I read the Electrek article and the first few pages of the Science Direct article (I have access to the full text). I appreciate the caution and follow-up info, which will inform my charging practice. My takeaways are that 1) Li-Ion batteries can suffer degradation with...

I have garage and am installing 14-50 NEMA receptacle this week, preparing for Tesla purchase. I haven’t studied the issue closely enough yet to develop my best practices for this new local supercharger and home charging. I appreciate the warning about supercharger use causing battery...

I’ve seen one location where the chargers were split into two groups on different sides of the building. So that’s another possibility. I wonder if these will be the latest advanced chargers (forget the terminology) for the most rapid charging.

Woo hoo! I e-mailed Busy Bee in September of last year (2019) and asked about Tesla Superchargers at PCB. They were very congenial but coy about it. I’m still skeptical, since it’s PCB. But this would be very exciting, because I test drove a Model Y today in Sandestin. And these PCB...

That's my typical starting point. It helps prevent me from annoying people with a flood of unsubstantiated, wrong-headed opinions, speculations, and doomsday Nostradamus predictions that would ultimately ruin my credibility when they turn out to be useless nonsense.

Thanks for advice guys! Strider, I like your avatar. Looks like Laguna Seca just after the corkscrew.

The nearest service center coming soon is five hours in the opposite direction of the current closest.

I'm having reservations over my reservation of the Model 3, because of repair concerns. I live five-hours from the nearest Tesla Store/Repair Facility. So the prospect of a ten-hour round trip is not pleasant. Thinking that a new model might (understandably) have some issues, I wouldn't...

Do we have a source confirming cruise control? Do we know if it will be activated on the center touchscreen? If so, that would be very clunky compared to a steering wheel mounted control.

I registered for the Model 3 in April '16. I prefer a very driver-centric car but could probably live with a speedometer on the right (upper left of screen); and digital is fine. Multiple speeding tickets while riding sportbikes means I have to watch speed closely. Speedometer and cruise...

I doubt that Tesla would scale back in-person familiarization without providing quality training materials in its place. I can learn more from personal study than ANY automobile sales person I've encountered. I haven't owned a Tesla, yet; but I assume their customer service is available to...

Trailex SUT-220-S SUT-220-S Aluminum trailer that weighs 147 lbs. We pull the trailer and kayak with our hybrid Jetta. I almost cancelled my reservation last week before I discovered Musk's tweet about the Model 3 towing hitch from back in April.

At the ten-year mark, you might need to factor in battery replacement. From what I've read the current battery replacement cost is $12,000 for a Model S, though I expect that will drop. A lot of Toyota Prius lithium batteries die at the ten-year mark. I would naturally hope for the Tesla...
