MPP compression rod and control arm bearings.

If when you get done with a session/autox run, BEFORE you put it in park, do a reboot.

1) That is crazy, having to remember to do a reboot after every run when your adrenaline us up, everything is busy, and you need to hop out to check tire pressures.

2) If you are any good at AutoX, your safety score is trash from normal driving

3) The reboot doesn't work anymore:

How to delete a safety score mistake

If you are trying to get a high safety score for FSD beta and you make a mistake (i.e. forward collision warning or following too close), pull over, stop, put car in park, go to autopilot, opt out of FSD Beta, then. immediately opt back in by checking the three boxes and submitting. When you...

and you need to hop out to check tire pressures.

Do you need them with more than 1 psi precision? Why not just click 'service?'
Although I have the pre-bluetooth TMPS, and sensors are cheap...

Ok, I mean "Adjust" tire pressures? They will for sure be wrong after a run.
And yes, I run 0.5 PSI accuracy.
And I don't run TPMS in my race wheels, because what's the point.

I know I would never, ever remember this all 12+ times a day I need to. Just this weekend I ended up with a rock in my rotor and had to park the car to get rid of an awful noise. To remember to reboot before putting it in park?

Good thing I bought a car "with all hardware needed for FSD" but Tesla wants $1000 to upgrade the hardware in it so I can run FSD, so I could care less about a safety score, and I'll spend that money on tires.

What’s your lifetime avg energy consumption @SFLM3P19?

481 for last 30… how do you find lifetime without teslafi?

Your trip computer shows you the energy consumption for any trips it has... So unless you have reset both A and B recently, you have a long term reading right in the car.

And I thought I was winning. 429Wh/mi across 45k. 28psi rcomps on 9.5 wide wheels.

Well done with that high score!

Truly a glorious daily driver.

What? 481 wh/mi over 30 miles is far from a high score! I did 1500+ over 15 miles this weekend, and I'm at >500 wh/mi over the last 7k

I wonder what I could do if my car didn't handle like trash

yeah… I’ll blame me seeing 30(K). Nevermind. I’ve got a higher score!

Oh I don't have FSD, I have Tesla insurance =)

 

[gearchruncher]

Yeah, that too. Tesla insurance is an awful idea for anyone that ever tracks their car. They hit you for "unsafe driving" while doing something that they don't even insure, but is making you a better driver. Big data computer algorithms will save us all though.

Just need the big data to be aware of track events and filter that data out. I'm sure Tesla will be on that within the next 100 years

Trash?
Interesting way to phrase that.

A question to those who DIY'd the lower control arm bearing install.
The MPP instructions say to press the new bearing from the rear of the arm, with the thick part of the blue aluminum against the arm. So, this thick front end should end up facing the front. But in the instructions they seem to show the left arm, with the thick part facing the rear.

the car is on the lift getting ready to be put back together, but It's Saturday, so I'm not sure @MountainPass will reply to my e-mail question until next week.

So, if any of you guys installed this yourselves, could you please tell me if you followed the text or the picture? Or I am reading the instructions wrong?

 

[gearchruncher]

That is weird, but I just followed the written instructions and put the thick part forward on both sides.

Agreed!

 

[Occhis]

I had to read through that part of the instructions a few times, but that’s the way I did it also.

 

[Bennny]

I followed the instructions too, pressing on the thin side from the rear.

Are they directional? From what I gather it won’t matter, so long as the thick part finishes flush with the arm which centres the bearing?
