    Plaid brake upgrade email?

    @NarTaX, I could have sworn you posted that you had managed to obtain the cross drillers rotors from the track pack. With a pic. Am I delusional? If not, I must know how to get a full set. :)

    Ugh. I forgot to add that the price includes installation.

    Plaid brake upgrade email?

    No. Check back a few posts. They quoted me entire kit after I asked for just the calipers. The pads come with the red calipers according to @NarTaX in his post. My kit arrives on the 12th.

    I gave them what I thought was needed. They replied with a quote with the above details.

    Post your Tone audio settings

    I keep Immersive at High. Aa for the Tone, I change that depending on my mod. Be nice to have user configurable presets as well as standard ones.

    Tesla replaced my yoke with an updated version today. 👌

    Do any of these use the airbag as the horn activator? Service replaced my yoke today because my turn signals intermittently don't trigger on press. Won't know revision until I pick her up tomorrow.

    2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

    I don’t believe this to be wholly correct. If you set the mirrors to fold at a location (our garage for example), then they unfold at a certain speed or through Controls.

    Wiki Mega-consolidated delivery quality issues thread and checklist

    So after service the other day, there was a new noise. Somewhere on driver’s side. Between back of seat and foot well. Sounded like a metal fastener rolling around. Present on hard braking and acceleration. Never from side to side motion. Pumped the doors. Nothing. Checked for loose panels...

    Wiki Mega-consolidated delivery quality issues thread and checklist

    Maybe it's an inverted iceberg. You see most of the issues and they seem to be of the 'nuisance' variety. We are on our 3&4 Teslas. Dad, sister, and brother all have 3s and Ys. None of us have encountered anything super serious or they didn't take care of responsibly. My Plaid is 9 months young...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I think we got that 'T' cloth with every Tesla we had/have. Wasn't that cheap then, maybe it is now. I believe it is for the screen. Never used them. Think all 4 are in a drawer somewhere.

    P&D numbers without, and even with, context are meaningless now. Revenue, margin, EBITDA, YOY growth. That’s where it is at.

    Apple Watch

    I contacted the developer of Tessie, one of the two best (IMHO) iPhone Tesla apps. Stats being the other. He is looking into adding BT functionality to his watch app.

    Single and multiple data points. Take from it what you will. Tesla and TSLA Was at the local Service Center on Tuesday as a result of a flat tire (again!). Guy walks in, says ‘Heard about the discount (prior to the ~7k), is there a Model Y you guys can sell me today?’ Sure, let me check that...

    Random Thoughts from Recent Migraines:: Had to funnel some funds in to avoid margin calls. That was painful but a lesson learned (I had never used margin b4 and my timing here sucked). Sold covered calls last two days. Immediately bought more shares. Wishing someone would piss all over the...

    Spot on. Design for cost is a lot harder up front but is significantly more executable in production than cost down efforts post design or later in the life cycle. The results are significantly different as well. DFc wins. Always.

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    First: How much would this lower the price? How much would this lower the cost? Next: 3. How many more vehicles would be sold (net) as a result? The answer to 3 may be zero if we are still production constrained. However, if the margin based on #2>>#1 and >= than that for a Dual Drive...

    Define Home location by GPS instead of address?

    My buddy's car got repo'ed (not entirely his fault, Tesla financing never initiated payments). He walked out of his house. App said car was in driveway. It was not. :)

    Define Home location by GPS instead of address?

    Using our home address works fine for wife’s YP when it is on driveway or in garage. Not so for my SP. so having Google change anything would probably not solve our case. I simply used a utility address that is two digits different from home. Our houses are 12 numbers apart and the various...

    2021 Plaid/Refresh Headlight Flickering Problem

    Dimming of the eyebrows was relatively common for pre Palladium Model S. I had one replaced within warranty and another exhibiting the problem at time of sale ('17 S). I have heard that PPF can retain the heat and cause premature failure. Don't know how true that is. I've had PPF on all my cars...

    New Model 3/Y Rear Entertainment & Climate Control Screen

    My understanding is that OEMs cannot refuse warranty claims due to third party products unless they can prove that they are the source of the problem. I may be wrong. As far as Hansshow, I have many of their products (Autofrunk S&Y, Tilt Screen, Pilot Light) and installed several on friend's...

    They simply asked for pictures of the unit before starting the return. I stated I hadn’t even opened the box as it arrived while I was out of town. I really thought this would be a cool mod.

    Car & Driver: The Mach E is simply better than the Model Y

    '98 EB Expedition. Not a single problem. Sold it at 60k only because it was huge. '13 Fusion Hybrid Titanium. Minor quibbles. They did some major warranty fixes that I wasn't bothered about. Traded it in '19 after 130k+ miles. Great car. '16 Explorer Platinum. No issues. Sold it after a year to...

    New Model 3/Y Rear Entertainment & Climate Control Screen

    Question. Is the issue of the software upgrades solely on the large screen that plugs into the front connector or does it also impact the smaller unit that plugs in the back just below the screen? I ordered the small one but it hasn't arrived yet. Will return or have Amex dispute charges if it...

    2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

    If these are designed like the 3rd party power frunks then there are two drive mechanisms. The 'major' motion that comes from each power strut. This is relatively quiet. Then there is a 'suction' motor (as Hansshow refers to it) for the 'minor' motion that pulls the trunk down the last bit to...

    New Model 3/Y Rear Entertainment & Climate Control Screen

    They have a ton of Sales reps that push for the buy (obviously) and are literally lost or ghosts post sales. But when you do get hold of a tech/engineer, they are quite good/helpful. Helps if you try to reach them Beijing local time. :)

    This I like. Controlling front passenger seat is a cool feature. Hansshow makes great stuff. Their instructions are pretty bad though. Hardcopies with postage sized pictures. I've tried explaining this to them several times (have over 5 of their products across our SP and YP--also installed...

    ‘22 YP and SP. I don’t know what sequence is needed but I never actively put car in park. I either unbuckle or open the door. One or both of which does it for me. God I am clueless now when I drive an ICE car. Which thankfully is almost never.

    Based it on the picture of the car in the article. Possibly an invalid hypothesis on my part. But I think the M3 has had Phone key since day 1 (my father’s ‘18 or ‘19 has it). Plus there’s the keycard which he might not have had with him.
