[MarcG]

You have trackmode?

Yep!

No one does yet. Fake News

Nope

I guess trackmode has been released?

Yep!

Just curious about the ruined tires—what are the indications that a tire has been used in weather that’s too cold?

is it visible to the naked eye, or something you feel while driving, or___________?

Thanks.

Cracks

Yep!

I said, at the time, “yet”!

Well my order is still sitting in the parking lot in KC, I may just have to give them a call.
happy for you guys! Should have been released from the beginning.

Like this. In Nebraska we get cold. 8am tomorrow it’s going to be 8deg F.
i cracked some Pilot SS just driving easy one cold morning. Maybe the PS4’ are better, but to expensive for me to even risk. I run nokians in the winter, also have my best 0-60 time with the winters on.

Well, you’ll all be super jealous because my completely broken Plaid is the only Plaid living in 2021. World first (and only?). I wonder what will happen when it wakes up in 2022? Will it become sentient?

@WilliamG Are you sure it’s part of the “living” cohort?

Good question!

Has anyone else had a problem with a Model S Refresh where the yoke wont adjust at all? Tried to reboot, and a few other things, and the scroll wheel just does literally nothing.

Seat/Steering calibration also failed.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I've not had this problem, nor heard of it before. I'd initiate a service call ASAP.

@Filter Do you have the weird patterns in white text on your screen? Mine seems more noticeable on the top and sides of the screen. Somehow related to the faded headlight icon too? Did they forget to install something behind the screen? It's almost like the screen is transparent.

Checked today, it is there but relatively subtle. Never noticed it before.
Hope that helps!

Yeah, we all seem to have it. Maybe my eyesight is still sharp... bugs me. I have it on the top and the bottom of the screen. I can see it when there are trashcans around that get rendered at the bottom.

guys already 300+ on my new MSLR. today while driving I was talking to a friend of mine one blue tooth and he commented that the call quality was horrible compared to when I was in my BMW yesterday. Has anyone heard of issue with blue tooth call quality??

 

[Proppilot]

my feedback has always been very good on BT. Maybe call a couple of folks from the car as it may have been on their end ?

 

[n2mb_racing]

I haven't been impressed with the bluetooth quality on phone calls. But, when using bluetooth with zoom calls, it works much better. I guess differences in the bitrates and audio codecs used.

I have intermittent front passenger seat rattles. If I put pressure against the seat back, it stops. Sometimes adjusting the seat back forward/backward stops the rattle, sometimes it doesn't. Any thoughts on things I can look at, or schedule service for it?

I loathe rattles. The most rattlesome car I ever owned was a Porsche 911. Had to take it into service 3 or 4 times to get it semi-reasonable. Most people on the forums (Rennlist) were not sympathetic, and generally answered with "turn up the music" or "drive faster". Sigh.

As a rule, I prefer to deal with rattles myself, up to a point -- taking things apart has its own risks, and there are cases in the past where the cure has been worse than the disease.

That said, if the rattle is frequent, genuinely irksome, and not easy to debug, I would not hesitate to make a service call.

Same here. Asked the service center to fix over 3 separate visits. They only did something about it the 3rd time, and it’s still harder to close than all the other doors.

Do you know what they did to make it better?
