    Best Leaf Blower?

    I use the Milwaukee Electric Tools 2724-21HD M18 Fuel Blower Kit. Had incredible reviews on Amazon and I use that on my S which has ceramic coating. Barely use towels now to dry the car. Two power settings too which is great. Battery is a bit heavy but there is a smaller battery option you can...

    A Must Have Detailing Accessory

    I use Milwaukee Electric Tools 2724-21HD M18 Fuel Blower Kit that I got off of Amazon. It does the job and has two power settings which I use the highest one. I did get a bigger blower just because I wanted the extra power to help dry the car easily as that was recommended by others. The only...

    Car wash product recommendations please. Thank you.

    I use chemical guys melon scent and foam gun. I used to do two bucket method but instead use one bucket now and multiple mitts, one for front of car, one back and two for the sides. Less chance of scratching. I also use black light from chemical guys for black cars on my MS. I then use a blower...

    Two bucket for me. Can't trust car wash. Scratched up my old MS. Being doing it myself and no swirl marks. Also if you don't have ceramic and don't want to spend money on it check out Chemical Guys Ceramic Wax.

    SD Card or Portable SSD drive for Sentry mode - Which one?

    I've been using Samsung 256 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D7Q41PM/. Had some issues at 1st but I think it was more over tesla updating support. Since multiple updates early 2020, its been incredible.

    Car wash for S

    Pressure is one thing. Try also playing around with the amount of soap you are putting into the foam canon. I also use warm water and shake it bit before using. But you will for sure get better foam with a pressure washer.

    Thinking of getting a small water softener to decrease spotting.

    I'm using CR spotless. Just connect it to my yard then to the power washer. Does a pretty good job especially with my second MS which is ceramic coated too. There will still be some water spots mainly on the roof and some areas of the trunk and hood which you need to towel dry. Just ordered a...

    Car wash for S

    I think a lot of owners would agree that two bucket wash method is the best. Two weeks into my new MS, they got a scratch on it at the car wash. Never gone back. Bought a power washer from Amazon and got the chemical guy setup. For sure get the Chemical guys honeydew scent and foam canon combo...

    Carwash Method?

    I use the two bucket system with an electrical power-washer any model works fine from amazon. try to be 2000 psi or above. I use Chemical Guys honeydew snow foam. It does a great job. The only thing that pisses me off is the amount of dust the car attracts even on the same day. Any suggestions...

    Washing our new babies

    I just answered this on another post too, but I took mine in to a carwash for the first time and came home with a scratch :( After that I just got a Greenworks 2000 PSI pressure washer from Lowes but you can find it on Amazon too but a lower pressure.

    car wash

    I took mine in for a car wash after having it for two weeks. They told me that they have to hand wash it and when I saw the tools they were using I got worried.

    Model S Back Window Issue

    I'm hoping they take care of this time because I had taken it last time for that reason and still has the issue. And since it's the back window I can't keep reminding people who enter to open thebdoor slowly. Will see what happens on my next visit.

    Autopilot Weaves in lanes with tar road repairs

    Does it happen to be on the 5 in LA area? Mine does the same. When it sees patches of repaired road that might be miscolored or have long lines showing where they refilled the road, the car will weave back and forth too.

    Got Silk?

    I got the update. For sure the ride feels smoother but it does still have some slight problems with turns. Lane change I feel like it's way to fast when merging. It also feels like it breaks for no reason from time to time in open traffic.

They have not called me back yet...
