[QUOTE="augkuo, post: 5860884, member: 7983"] One thing to check is the camber of your tires especially the rear ones - when I first got my roadster I would wear out the rears in less than 10k miles and it would be mostly on one side of the tire! If you have it in your region, change your electric billing to an EV rate - usually that would give you a big discount during the evening/early morning hours. If it's just a garage queen and lightly used then probably not worth it. Also after either a drive on a hot day or a spirited run I usually plug my car back in for 30-60 minutes at 240V/40A to cool the battery down - I have an EV rate so it'll get the full charge overnight but this is to cool the battery down right away. Sound dampening is nice but I usually have the radio turned on full blast anyways to warn pedestrians/deer/etc. - not sure if it'll get rid of all the creaks and rattles anyways ;) [/QUOTE]
