This varies. I had a puncture on the wife’s Mini Countryman and the BMW roadside folks did a plug repair. In that case it didn’t work, but that was because the screw had also punctured the sidewall.@WannabeOwner Plugging ties: The tire and road service firms in the UK don't generally use them. Some tire firms won't even mend a puncture in the traditional way. They are wildly used in France, and Germany and perhaps allover the EU (missing you EU). Iv'e had a puncture quickly plugged by quite a large proper job tire firm which we managed to reach by pumping up the tire every fifteen minutes even on the train to Cocquelles! Vive la plug!
This was before the run flat hassle and the spare wheel purchase.
@Rooster6655 (symbol of France but you have heard that un oeuf already I guess). Interesting. Perhaps teaston's method with the arrowhead pierces the soundproofing material more cleanly. (I really hate the spell checker here! It keeps changing oeuf to boeuf which, ironically, is who we are to our French friends.

It’s an awful lot of money for a remap!View attachment 786673
Has anyone got the performance boost and regretted it …. ? Finger hovering ….
Although, I have heard that you get some of that cost back if/when you trade the car back in to Tesla, not sure how much, or even if it’s true.

If you are even considering it then just do itHas anyone got the performance boost and regretted it …. ? Finger hovering ….
I have it - the standard car is plenty quick but my grin definitely got a little wider with AB.Just had a strange alert come up in car. "Dashcam USB drive is too small. Use drive larger than 32GB"
What size drive do they give and if its know to ne too small, why not provide a proper sized one?
Tried to report it via app but no ability on app to generate a 2nd service (already gone one outstanding for bubbles in ppf).
Anyone else had similar?

As mentioned, you can try it and get a refund. However to answer your question its yes and no. Its great without it but it now feels "whole"View attachment 786673

The one they supply with the car is 128gb.
It’s a bit crap though, not really designed for being constantly written to, which is why a lot of us buy a high endurance micro sd card and reader.
Can you recommend one? Are they easy to format via car or have to be done on laptop 1st?
I bought these ones, car formatted it fine:

even the high endurance is not really suitable on paper it could fail after a year or two. The one to get is the Max endurance that should last at least 5 years probably much longer. 6 times that of the high endurance if I recall.

True. Mine is less than that on average probably but for £10 extra I figured I would treat myself

If you are going to do it I'd really like to see a "from-40MPH" acceleration before/after comparison. I have a couple of markers near here, about 200M apart. - I find this test easier than figuring out how to actually time it
Passing the first marker, on Cruise at 40 MPH and flooring it, MS and M3 both get to second marker at 90 MPH and MY to 86.
The 3 of them have quite different 0-60, and my feeling is that most of the difference is in the 0-40, which is fun but not what I would use most. Would be interested if AB makes a tangible difference to 40+
I haven't had ICE for 7 years - on a modern ICE that has 0-60 performance in the 4.5s region can you get a remap, affordably, that knocks 0.5s off that? and doesn't violate the warranty?

I would format the USB using the cars screen first. I've been using my USB for 1.5 years without problems. If it really fails then that's the time to do the upgrade.
It does only affect 0-60 performance, or even lower than that, maybe 0-30 or 0-40. Even the performance has been shown to be no faster midrange, Carwow did a video comparison and the LR actually beat the P from a moving start!If you are going to do it I'd really like to see a "from-40MPH" acceleration before/after comparison.

WOW i did not expect this. The comments on the video are suggesting the result could have been down to a battery temperature issue that might be able to be fixed with an update by Tesla. However i think it suggests that the LR M3 or MY with or without the AB is probably the sweet spot. I think in the real world the AB is not really going to make any significant difference unless drag racing off the lights and even then we are talking about a 2-3 metres gain from 0-40mph

So, just got to the NEC then got told the car is damaged and I can’t collect it. I really wish they would of told me before I drove the hour here.
