Dont know, found this thread trying to answer the same question! I believe the Ludicrous + is worth about 25 - 30hp once the battery is warmed up to temperature from what I've read elsewhere.

Sounds about right, I would guess 15-20%. I was driving at 110km/h most of the way, would have been better consumption at 100km/h.

1. EV Stealth, see my install on page 5 of this thread. 2. The Standard towball and hitch that came with the EV Stealth kit.

About 200 wh/km

First real test, 4 x bikes loaded onto the thule for a mountain biking trip to port Macquarie. Just made it with a charge at heatherbrae, definitely much worse range towing this setup but the car went beautifully. The charge cable just made it with 1cm of clearance to the pole so no need to...

Looking to buy a set of Arachnid wheels, with or without tyres. Any condition considered.

I wonder if it has gear change buttons as back up on the console like the S and X have?

The Ultra Red looks amazing IMO, its what I was going to go with for my cancelled plaid S.

Model S Plaid has now dropped to $89k in the USA and now all colors are the same price. Just another reason to hate this decision.

Thats correct, it does relate to the solar plan. But 4000kwh over a year is not much feed in, only around 11kw per day. Its probably ok for people with smaller solar systems.

I was just looking at the OVO plan, its listed as 10c FIT but in the fine print its limited to 4000kw per year then reverts to 7c. Still a good plan but thats only avout 11kw a day feed in and I average about 40 to 50kw a day.

No idea but I just vinyl wrapped mine Satin Black with the kit from tessbros and it came up great.

Its still AWD. Looks to be a software locked version with same battery and dual motor as the standard non plaid model S.

The promised 1000km range at product launch in 2017 seems kind of stupid now. Based on the plaid, it dosent need a 200kw pack to hit the claimed performance figures and roadster owners dont need such ridiculous range. With a 100 - 120kw pack it would be ample for the performance and keep the...

Nope, haven't seen one in real life but the difference in the rear guards being flared out from the doors back is fairly obvious in the video. Its obvious to me as a 5 year model S owner but I get most people wouldn't notice.

This video shows the differences pretty well, about 1 inch wider on every wheel arch. Its also a few cm lower which makes it look much better IMO.

They were included in the kit.

The Stealth cost me $1050 for the kit, it shouldn't cost $800 extra to install?  

I looked into it and decided the base models around 200k are too slow (0-100 in mid 5s) and the turbo S at 400k is too rich for my blood. They look great but not much room inside, the Model S is better as fast family GT car IMO. Im looking for a 2020 Model S performance if I can find a good one...

I would love to do that but as there are now no more RHD Model S being produced im stuck with the older car. 🥺

The EQE53 looks like a nice car but performance wise slightly behind the refresh long-range S and not in the same league as the Plaid S. I see it as a bit boring and not special in the way a Plaid or Taycan is. For myself, I viewed the Plaid as a nice comfortable daily driver with supercar...

Thule Velospace XT. I use it with the extra clip on piece and it then carries 4 bikes.

The hitch part? It came included with the kit as well as the towball.

The bike rack I have is towball mounted. Fitting the hitch pin to connect to the tow hitch is not too hard, access os ok. The anti rattle solution they use with this is just a bolt that inserts into a threaded part of the towbar and tightens against the hitch. Havent attempted to do that yet but...

Just spent my Saturday installing the EV stealth towbar. Price was $1050 delivered within 2 days from ordering and its the Australian made version. First step, remove the rear bar and crash beam. The instructions were ok but watching a youtube tutorial first was more helpful. Took about 90...

How did you go with this?

They emailed them to me after the order was placed.

Yes, next weekends job. Looks pretty easy, the instructions are very good.

I did the same, plus its only $1050 if you fit it yourself.

Nothing would surprise me with Tesla. I did wonder if the final price was going to be well over the price they took reservations at and this was a nice way out for them. Get customers to refund their reservations and buy a 3 or Y. The $3000 discount offered to cancelled orders will get some...

This sums up my feelings perfectly! https://www.google.com.au/amp/s/www.techguide.com.au/amp/news/cars/elon-musk-you-broke-my-heart-tesla-cancels-the-new-rhd-model-s-for-australians/

I think ill put my immaculate 2018 75D up for sale and look at getting a low milage 2019 or 2020 Dual Motor S. There is a few nice ones currently for sale. Might also have a look at a taycan. I also have no interest in 3 or Y, we bought a Y for the wife but I wouldn't want one for myself...

I just got that too. Possibly for those who have waited over 12 months.

Are you waiting on a S or X?

Thats why you should use pin to drive.

It dosent look easy to remove and replace, you need to pry it out. This mod might make it easier:

Interesting, but why not use ChargeHQ? Is it because this will work with any brand invertor?

I think for a bike rack use, trailer mode will be no advantage. My bike rack with 4 bikes I want to attach comes in at about 78kg so I will pass on the tesla version with its 72kg ball weight rating and opt for aftermarket.

Fitting would only be a few hundred I would guess. Personally, ill do it myself its not very difficult.

This is new? Australian made version of EV Stealth tow hitch. $1050 delivered. https://www.evstealthsolutions.com.au/i/tesla-model-y

Hope you are right but dont forget the Aus dollar is about 10% less value than when the performance was last offered in Aus. (67c now vs low 70s)

They are a direct bolt on for 2021+ cars but unsure about older S if that is what your car is.

He isn't talking about the 20k Carbon Ceramic upgrade. He is asking about the standard brakes on the refresh which are now painted red and the rear brakes have a dodgy cover to make them look like bigger brakes than they are. Dont think these are going to be any better than your current...

Ordered May 2021 also, no idea when it may arrive. My guess would be late this year sometime, but its just my guess.

Im mostly excited about the upgraded brakes.
