I have a set of 4 OEM Bluetooth TPMS sensors for sale. Asking $180 shipped.

PM sent.

Only the SR has LFP.

Um, what? Rotors only rust when they're wet. As soon as they are applied 1 time, any surface rust goes away. It's not like they just sit there and constantly rust while you're not looking. In terms of costing more to maintain - possible. But that cost is amortized over such a long period of...

The discount yesterday is the same as today in NJ as far as I can tell, not counting the red demo car in Philly of course. I picked up an inventory M3P today, grabbed it yesterday with a $3250 discount.

My insurance did not distinguish between the trims, so no difference in premium at all. Pickup today went super smoothly.

This is the right thing to do. Call Sales vs. the deliver advisor and they can help. Spoke to a very helpful rep and he is trying to get me my original car with the discount so I can pick it up tomorrow or Friday.

You'd be better off renting a car for a few days and saving the difference.

My rep told me I had to cancel and order another car and lose my deposit, which I gladly did. It's worth $250 just to not sit on hold for so long 🤣 Already got my VIN and expected delivery of 6/10-6/19. Stupid of Tesla.

I'm supposed to take delivery today. Glad I haven't paid for it yet.

Well now there's a blue/black/19" car that will go to the next person on the list. Just switched to a M3P. My original dates were June 16th-26th.

Same with me. Blue/black with 19" wheels.

Correct. It will be interesting to see what happens but I can’t imagine they will do this rather than just use the battery packs. Who knows?

It would qualify for half the rebate, similar to the SR M3.

Hello, are these still available?

Price drop - $800.

Bump.

Bump.

Hello, I’m right by Red Bank - exit 109 on the GSP. A good halfway point is probably Hamilton Marketplace, which happens to have Superchargers. :)

Selling a set of 19” snow tires and wheels from my 2015 Model S P90D. Includes TPMS, please make sure it works with your car. Tires are 245/45-19 Pirelli Sottozero Winter 240, all with 7-8/32nds of tread. Wheels are 19” Tesla wheels painted black in good condition, two with minor blemishes. No...

Not different enough that the tradeoff for the extra rubber isn't worth it. Even back when I was autoxing my E36M3 pretty seriously in SCCA (when it was the hot car in BS) people were squeezing 255s on 7.5" wheels. Happens all the time in the stock/Street classes and has been proven over the years.

I am an instructor for the TSS in Mahwah - we generally try to run two events a year, so if you can’t get into this upcoming one, keep an eye out. It’s a great program. The NJ BMWCCA is running an autocross at the TD Bank Ballpark this Sunday, June 23rd. That is part of a series of events which...

Speak of the devil - just updated to 2019.16.3.2. Won’t get to drive the car until tomorrow to see what’s up.

I'm still on 2019.16.2, haven't been prompted for update yet for my P90D.

The repair on my car was just completed - I haven’t even looked at it yet! Not only did the mobile tech replace the screen, he also did the steering bolt and airbag recalls, which was a nice bonus. Here’s the part number for the new screen that was installed.

Agreed, that is exactly what the Virtual Service person told me - “they should be available in the coming months.” When the Mobile Service Ranger called, I was surprised and said I thought they were a few months out - he said that the new screens had just come in. We’ll find out soon enough.

On Wednesday I finally got around to making a service appointment for the yellow band around the center screen. The next day I got a call from the Virtual Service Team who said they’d put me on the list for the new screens when they come in. To my surprise, I got a call from a mobile service...

That is a great idea! I have the same parking setup and charger location (other than not having a rear engine air cooled car above my S), I’m going to do this ASAP.

My AP1 MS got it tonight. Haven’t noticed anything yet.

We had one show up to one of our HPDEs (NJ BMWCCA.) It ran into an issue with reduced power, the owner called Tesla, they pushed out a fix, and she continued for the rest of the day. I have no idea what issue she ran into or what they remotely fixed. This was a couple of years ago.

Yep, I realized that after I posted.

If it’s black, I am definitely interested.

Thanks everyone! Looking at the pics a bit closer, looks like I should spend some more time on the hood. :) I didn't have great access to it at the time, I had it in the garage under my lift since it was raining. I promise the other panels are much better!

Thanks and lucky you! I hadn’t seen paint as bad as mine in some time and so I had been eagerly awaiting the (relative) end of winter to spend some quality time with it. If you don’t have a preference for Opti, I can’t recomend the HPC highly enough. So, so easy to apply and remove. Awesome...

I wouldn’t worry about it. Sidewalls really get damaged when you drive on a flat tire. Any possible damage in your scenario will be evident when the tire is reinflated.

They do. They are my tire of choice for all high performance street cars I’ve owned. For a tire with their grip in all warm weather (>40 deg F) conditions, the only tire that is better in the wet and dry is the new PS4 but that’s not yet available in the right sizes for our cars. Great tire ok...

Do yourself a favor and find a tire shop that will patch your tire correctly as per the guide posted above. Plugging risks allowing air to cause the layers of rubber in the tire to separate. No manufacturer certifies plugging as an acceptable repair. This is a good summary of patching vs...

The last owner of my P90D did a great job taking care of my car but always used automatic car washes. The finish had a ton of swirls and a lot of slightly deeper scratches. While the car looked okay from 10 feet away, any closer and the poor condition of the paint was obvious, especially in the...

I got to see the twin turbines in person on Friday at my local SC. I wish they had found a more elegant solution for the lug nut covers, they are definitely not the most beautiful thing ever. The overall design is nice but the covers really distract from it IMHO.

What is the offset of those wheels? I’m sure that is the issue.

A lot of ICE cars now come with similarly unmanaged Li-ion batteries for their 12V. My last car, a 2015 BMW M3, had one and it was not temperature controlled.

Summer tires are good down to about 4-5C, below that they lose grip and the manufacturer’s recommendation is not to use them. I personally switch to a performance winter tire here (like a Pirelli Sottozero) where most of our winters are wet and cold with occaisonal snow. Our temperatures...

Actually summer tires are superior to all-seasons in the wet. From Bridgestone: Summer Tires vs. All Season Tires | Bridgestone Tires "Surprising to some, summer tires provide better performance in wet driving conditions, thanks to unique tread patterns that help evacuate water and resist...

Toe is absolutely more critical for tire wear than camber as long as you aren't doing burnouts at every stoplight. The combination of the two will affect how evenly the tires wear and one variable can have a significant effect on the impact of the other. For years I drove a car optimized for...

2015 P90D with 22.9k miles. 90% is 237 miles, I’m pretty happy with that.

The problem is that because the angles of the LATCH tethers are greater when using the middle seating position (because the anchors are further apart than the requirement), the load rating is lessened. If you use the recommended positions, the tethers are much closer to being parallel and the...

I have a set that I bought from Tire Rack and they work perfectly.

Unfortunately that is the result of hitting a pothole or something similar. The bulge is from broken bands in the tire. You will need to replace it to be safe.

If it’s really that dirty I would wait. Even with something like ONR, you don’t want to take the chance of dragging abrasive particles over the paint. One of the benefits of all aluminum construction is that road salt doesn’t affect your car. :)
