    wheel bearings? noise? and aftermarket wheels

    Has anyone changed a wheel bearing themselves? I'm still under warranty but run aftermarket wheels. I've started to hear * some * noise but I think it is more from worn tires (winter set is shot). If I still hear it when I put my summers wheels on (that have new pilot sports), I take it in...

    Stock holder option to jump in line

    Did any of you take the option to jump to the head of the line because you own TSLA stock? I was tempted. $100k is about my limit but I really want a Cyberbeast for that money and not an AWD. The Foundation series markup is too high for me but it would be so much fun to have a Cybertruck...

    v11.4.7 (2023.7.30) auto-wipers seem drastically worse

    I've been disengaging FSD and in the voice recording, telling Tesla I can't use FSD because of the wipers.

    People who got theirs today

    Does anyone know anything about the 10 people that took delivery today? I'd like to follow them on social media so I can see what they post about it.

    Should those who have ordered Cybertruck reorder again?

    I was confused by this as well. I reserved over a year ago but the page today said to order now so I did...and now I have two pre-orders. I'll just cancel todays and get the $250 back.

    Pricing Revealed

    About what I expected. The world is a different place from what it was in 2019 when the cybertruck was announced. I'm down for the Cyberbeast.

    Rally Armor mud flaps - clips are falling out

    Yes, my car is lowered by 1" on MPP coilovers. I specifically bought the RA mudflaps because they are really flexible. I scrape them on speed bumps which used to crack the molded plastic mudflaps. The RA flaps easily flex with no problems.

    500 mile range? LOL

    I went and ordered and now I have two reservations.

    v11.4.7 (2023.7.30) auto-wipers seem drastically worse

    I've been testing FSD for 2 years now and whenever I see another Tesla, I've always wondered if they are testing as well. Now, I just look for Tesla's with their wipers going on sunny days and know they are fellow FSDBeta testers 🤣. The wipers are the new Tesla wave lol.

    Model Y Performance 21"- Pirelli or Michelin?

    For what its worth, I think the Michelin's are much softer tires that the Pirelli's. I made the switch to the Michelins and notice they pick up lots of pebbles/rocks that get stuck in the soft rubber. I never noticed this with the Pirelli's. I only had the new tires on for 4 months this...

    v11.4.7 (2023.7.30) auto-wipers seem drastically worse

    Add me to the list of people with Auto-wiper issues. Its so bad I've actually stopped using FSD at times. I guess we have a new disengagement reason that has nothing to do with driving lol. I've even tried cleaning the camera but no change.

    Going crazy about Performance brakes? [Tesla using caliper covers on rear brakes of Y performance after supplier switch]

    Red makes things faster = performance ;). When buying a Tesla, you have to decide for yourself if the car you are getting today is worth the price you are paying today. If so, buy it and don't look back because there will be changes in hardware and price. Others will get a better deal than...

    Does anyone know if the Clarion Inn at this charger is still open? I was going to stop here on my trip and it shows as either permanently closed on google or various booking site say no availability.

    Anything better then pilot sport 4s tires?

    Unfortunately, no PS 5s in 21" sizes yet. The Sport EV is cheaper and "for EVs" but is heavier and has less tread depth so I'm going with the PS 4s. Just have to find them in stock...and find a parking lot to send the Pirellis off in a cloud of smoke :).

    11.3.3 First Drive Reactions

    Great! I'm still waiting for the update. Regarding emergency vehicle detection, the only behavior I've seen is when overtaking a stopped emergency vehicle (that was going the same direction as you) and only at night I would get a message that it was slowing down for an emergency vehicle. I've...

    Rally Armor mud flaps - clips are falling out

    I haven't noticed any decrease in range. I'm still baffled by the price but I guess when you buy the best, you only cry once. I wish they weren't so glossy but so far, they are working great.

    Rally Armor mud flaps - clips are falling out

    I've been on quite the mud flap journey on my Y since I lowered it. I've tried all the molded plastic guards from Basenor and others. Last weekend, I finally switched to RallyArmor. The reason is that to my knowledge, they are the only flexible flaps. This completely solved my problem of...

    What have you done to your Y lately?

    My weekend project was lowering my car a little bit more and swapping from my old plastic mud guards (I've tried a few different types) to Rally Armour mud guards since they are flexible and won't break going over speed bumps.

    MountainPass Performance Comfort Coilovers

    In case you all had any questions about MPP customer service, they have already gotten back to me with instructions on how to re-attach the knob. It looks like the plastic lock ring popped out. Simple fix. More importantly, I went 2mm lower in front a d 6mm in rear. Perfection! I also...

    Tesla Begrudgingly “Recalls” FSD Beta for NHTSA

    Does anyone know what the burden of evidence is for the NHTSA? Do they have a car with FSDb that they have taken to a particular place and verified its behavior or is it just based on reports? Even with my own car, I have trouble reproducing a particular behavior due to traffic or lighting or...

    Tesla Begrudgingly “Recalls” FSD Beta for NHTSA

    Millions of people are driving millions of cars that can kill you. Did you sign up for 16 year olds with learning permits to be on the road? Did you sign up for people who might have a heart attack driving next to you? What about all the other distracted/drunk/stupid things people do? Ever...

    MountainPass Performance Comfort Coilovers

    As I recall, some people used lubrication on the sprint perches on the front. When turning, it would allow the spring to slip and make a ping sound. Last I heard the remedy was just to thoroughly clean them and then the spring doesn't move. Is this the noise being referred to?

    Tesla Begrudgingly “Recalls” FSD Beta for NHTSA

    It doesn't matter. Its up to me to prevent those things. They shouldn't have the right to take features away from people using them responsibly because something "could" happen. Guess what - a piece of an airplane COULD fall off. Your RISK of injury INCREASES if you go outside. Should the...

    Tesla Begrudgingly “Recalls” FSD Beta for NHTSA

    It's not that we blindly think it's perfect. It's far from it but in my experience, it provides value as is. Warts and all. I've been in the beta since 10.2 and seen overall progress. I've also seen the NHTSA dictate completely stupid crap such as disabling my boom box because I could change...

    There will be NO HW4 upgrade for HW3 owners

    Another thing to keep in mind is that many of us are equating a new HW gen with new abilities / performance but I thought I heard somewhere (Twitter live or something?) that the main goal with HW 4 was cost & energy savings. As Tesla continues to scale production, replacing hardware with...

    There will be NO HW4 upgrade for HW3 owners

    You all keep missing the simple first question (than NONE of us can answer). We don't have full self driving yet. Is it because of HW or Software? Tesla is claiming its because the Software isn't done. If they are correct, there is nothing more to argue/litigate/etc. and all we can do is...

    There will be NO HW4 upgrade for HW3 owners

    Let's look at this a different way. Let's break of the entire FSD system into three parts: 1) sensors (cameras - including number and placement), 2) Processing power (Full self driving computer), and 3) Software. We all know the current state of FSDBeta. Its a long ways from self-driving...

    OEM Spoiler coming off on Model Y Performance

    I wouldn't pay for the OEM spoiler - have it replaced under warranty. If you want to stop needing replacements, then pay that much but buy one from a reputable reseller such as Unplugged or TSportline. I tried to get the Unplugged one but it was back ordered so I got a TSportline spoiler and...

    Light show ad?

    It didn't really bug me but I was just surprised. I don't think I've ever seen the CAR recommend features like that. I just hope its not a slippery slope to "Hungry? Five Guys is near by" or something like that.

    There will be NO HW4 upgrade for HW3 owners

    Are you sure that is the reason? Sometimes it brakes later than I would but most times it is fine. Here again, I'm not convinced the input (i.e. cameras) are the problem and it's not a computational issue. For people who thing the camera location/resolution is insufficient - do you really...

    There will be NO HW4 upgrade for HW3 owners

    My take having tested FSDBeta since 10.2 is that the cars sees traffic just fine. It doesn't need better cameras or sensors. Where it needs work is in the path prediction and planning. I have no idea (and I don't think anyone else does either) if they are CPU bound with the current compute...

    FSDBeta route not following the map?

    Hi everyone. Have you run across this before? This roundabout is new. Previously, it was just an intersection. Its interesting that even though the map is now updated and shows the roundabout, the router used the old map and planned a left turn. I'm on 10.69.25.2.

    MPP Comfort Coils NUMBERS ONLY THREAD

    Sounds like your springs are settling a bit and your car is riding lower than before. I had the same thing. Adjusting the shocks won't do anything as that only affects the damping. You need to lift the car and adjust the spring perches again.
