    Tesla to unlock the +5mph stop sign / stop light limit

    I agree. Over time my adaptive cruise control has gotten more abrupt in adjusting speed. It also has gotten “afraid” of moderate hills and sweeping turns dropping the speed approximately 5mph. My old BMW i3 had a display that awarded stars for efficient driving. One category was...

    Terrrrrrrrible pick up experience

    $1,000 for the hitch is a good deal. I just paid something like $1,300 to have the Service Center install one on my MX. It was weird though. They did a lot of things to my MX beside the hitch. After spending the entire day in their lounge, I drove the 100 miles home. The next morning I...

    Paid for FSD but Tesla refuses to acknowledge

    It shouldn’t cost too much to just have your attorney send them a letter with copies of all relevant documents asking for them to provide FSD as you have already paid for it.

    First Decent Road Trip

    Unless I’m missing something or Tesla has changed something since I bought my ‘16 S & X, you turn on ACC with the lower left stalk. If you want to increase your speed, you can just push the stalk up release it and it will increase the speed to the next 5 mph increment (For instance, if it is...

    Should my car charger be backed up by my powerwalls or not?

    You probably have thought of this, but if you are uncomfortable with the car charging when you are asleep or unaware, you can simply schedule the car to charge at a time appropriate for you. This is done on the touch screen very easily. Good luck!

    Red/White PUP Impressions

    I’m sorry, but what is PUP? I have a MS & MX, but the abbreviations on this site often stump me.

    Number One shortcoming of the supercharger network

    That’s my experience too. We travel from the Central Coast of CA, to Southern CA a lot and to Oregon to visit our son and all the Superchargers have restaurants or other facilities nearby. Lack of restrooms has never been a problem.

    Insurance Settlement question

    LOL, about 15 years ago my Dad’s Toyota PU was dinged in a parking lot. We took it to a body shop at got an estimate of over $1,000. My Dad said hell no and we started to leave. The shop owner said to wait. He came out with a long tool (pry bar?) and took the dent out for free. He did a...

    High maintenance car ever I owned

    I bought my wife’s 2016 MS90D when her Lexus LS460 mushroomed in maintenance cost at 60K miles. Haven’t paid for any maintenance on her MS yet.

    Autopilot is better than you think!

    Thanks for that video. Very interesting! I rarely use Autopilot as I find it annoying and dangerous. Perhaps it has improved and I should give it another go. On a related issue, every time they issue a download, my Adaptive Cruise Control drives more and more like an old lady. Some months...

    Solar panels charging 3 while camping?

    While on a trip from central CA to Oregon a couple of years ago, we pulled into our hotel and started to plug into their non-Tesla charger. Knowing that they had chargers, we weren’t worried about coming in without much reserve charge. However, my wife forgot to put her adapter in the car...

    Cybertruck staying full size

    Does anyone know what the dimensions of the Cybertruck are? I’m going to build a new house and would like to build a garage to fit the truck, but have not been able to find its dimensions.

    Cybertruck design/features

    Have you found out what the dimensions of the Cybertruck are? I am going to be building a new house and would like to build a garage that will accommodate the Cybertruck.

    Blog Watch: New Clips from Jay Leno’s Cybertruck Test Drive

    What ARE the dimensions of the Cybertruck? I’m about to build a house in Texas and was just discussing this with my contractor/business partner. We talking about garage configurations and I want the Cybertruck to have a garage built for it to fit into, but we need to know the size of the truck...

    Power Limited - Please Schedule Service - Potentially Trailer Mode Related?

    I’m not a tech guy, but I think they would have a hard time replicating the problem without a trailer with similar tongue weight as yours. I had a rattle in a BMW Z4 I used to have. I took it to my local dealer and they “couldn’t” replicate it. I took the car home, but realized that the tech...

    The shudder problem: Current status (end of February 2020)

    No, my feeling was that it was fast enough as a plain old 90D since I only drag race ICE vehicles. LOL

    Ceramic and PPF

    Well, my Miata was done on Friday. Turns out that they don’t use Maguire’s, but an Italian product that I’l have to get the name of. He washed my car several times, polished and clay barred prior to doing the ceramic. I’m happy with the result and now plan on getting my S&X done soon.

    Charger Install : Thanks EV Domestic

    Instrument Cluster Marred during MCU1 -> MCU2 Upgrade [Resolved: Needed to Remove Screen Protector ]

    A year or more ago, a mobile service tech came to our house to replace the passenger side Takata airbag. To do so he had to disassemble the dash. I didn’t notice until he was gone a number of dark colored foam on the floor of the garage. I mentioned it on my next 100 mile trip to the service...

    Ceramic and PPF

    I have a local guy who is the only trained and authorized Maguire’s ceramic applier in our area. I’m going to have him do my S, X and my 1990 Miata. He’ll do it at my house.

    How to avoid random/phantom braking!

    I have an S and an X, both 2016 models. I report phantom braking issues every time I visit the Service Center. My X has started to give a beep and text warning and making corrective steering maneuvers (It really doesn’t change the steering, but makes small inputs that I feel via the steering...

    Farthest road trips from So Cal (OC, LA, SD, IE areas).

    I’ve driven my wife’s S from San Luis Obispo County to Oregon 4 or 5 times with almost no problems. On one trip, my wife forgot her adaptor for standard chargers. We stay at a hotel in Williams, CA that has standard chargers, but oops we couldn’t use them and they had no 110 outlets within...

    First Day Towing review.

    I’m going to be selling my truck (in anticipation of the Cybertruck) so will be taking my truck to the service center for a hitch install on my X. I have a light weight aluminum trailer that I use for occasionally hauling a motorcycle to a shop for service. I’ve been saying for a while that...

    The shudder problem: Current status (end of February 2020)

    My X had a slight vibration/shudder under full acceleration for quite a while. I thought that perhaps it was tread separation on one of the tires due to the high torque load. Gradually it got more frequent and finally it was happening in “CHILL” mode. I had the tires replaced, but it didn’t...
