You can get the shims from secretev for 95 bucks

Stopped by today, still not functional.

Which location are you picking up from?

It makes sense they would, especially older vehicles. As the hoses that deliver fuel degrade over time, you’re at a risk of a hose breaking and spilling fuel in the engine compartment, add in the high heat and you’ve got a perfect recipe for a fire.

I see you’re in Dallas. Have you ever driven through Odessa/midland area? Some nights the smell of gasoline/crude oil is so strong it seems like you can light a match and the entire place will catch fire.

Yes it’s possible, having gasoline fumes in the air doesn’t mean there’s 100% chance you can ignite it. You need the proper air to fuel ratio for ignition.

Unless your garage is air tight, the fumes have long dispersed. But if you’re still worried. Go open your garage door for a few minutes. That would also help get rid of the smell

So what? The gasoline is gone, what exactly are you worried about?

Is this supposed to be a joke? If the floor is dry then all of the gas has evaporated. Ive never heard of any batteries “exploding”, they can catch fire but I’m not sure they can explode.

I’m almost certain there was/is in the order agreement.

I didn’t think the cybertrugg could look any worse and some of these photos, the people have definitely proved me wrong.

No worries, once their factory in Saudi Arabia is up and running they’ll hire enough slaves to really bring that cost down!

The 21s are rated at 320 miles.

So you didn’t make it across the country? Wall of text is a bit hard to read, kinda sounds like you turned back around on day 3 and went home?

Hard to tell, but after 4.3k miles, it looks like the inside edges are wearing out. Looks like I’ll be installing the shims and getting an alignment after all.

Thank you, haven’t installed the shims yet as I’m waiting to see if I even have to since I’ve swapped my 21s for 20in wheels. But also my 21s on Goodyears showed absolutely no edge wear after 4K miles.

A lunar silver plaid or a Porsche racing green Taycan turbo GT with the weissach package…. These are good car times we livin in! Can the government please just let me win the lottery already so I can spend it all on cars!

Hopefully the lunar silver deliveries start soon, excited to see it in real life

You’re willing to go through all that stress and agitation to save 40 dollars per month? Just get progressive and be done with the nonsense

What a Tesla rep told me before is that they go by auction prices, the amount they offer is the amount they’ll get when they send the car to the auction.

I’m assuming you stuck with the red, in which case you’re gonna definitely love it. Just came home from a 4.5k mile road trip to South Carolina and Florida. Every time I walked away from the car I couldn’t help but look back. It looks so nice! In the day time, but especially at night with some...

2008 BMW M5

I would go with the model s, longer range and better looking.

MOT is like a state safety inspection, luckily OPs battery is still under warranty and a battery fault would be in their best interest.

Yeah they became a thing with the 23 model year. You don’t. It’s been standard on plaids since 2023 model year. So 2022 would not have it.

The red calipers are standard on the Plaid

That’s what I have and I love it. Very classy looking. However, with the silver color, I’d go with the black interior.

I cross shopped, I test drove a Taycan turbo, Taycan GTS and a BMW i7 Loved them all, each one had its own thing that I loved. The turbo and gts handled so well through the twisty roads, the fit and finish was perfect and I loved the suede interior. The i7 was what I imagine a rolls Royce to...

I will not stand by as you disparage the good name of Bayerische Motoren Werke, and when I’m done cleaning up yet another oil leak off my driveway, I’ll tell you exactly why you’re wrong! “Duped” “defrauded” lol. Just come right out and say you have a personal beef with musk. I’m far from a...

Why did you throw the shims away? Did it not correct the issue?

From post #67 You can see the edges severely worn, I don’t think that happens overnight.

Swapped out the stock 21in wheels for the 20in Martian wheels Looks way better than I expected. I also decided not to install the Macsboost shims yet, when I got the stock wheels off, there’s was absolutely no irregular wear on the edges. The tires look perfect after 4.3k miles

I thought the button turn signals was going to annoy the heck out of me but as a former/current bmw driver, I can honestly say it didn’t take long for me to learn to not use them. /s

Didn’t the headlight/tail light revision happen in March 2022? The UR was 2023 I’d say go for it now, you like the car, you like what it offers, why wait.

Well then it’s settled I’ll do the alignment.

I understand what you’re saying but according to the manufacturer, the shims are just thick enough to not cause over correction. I’ll take the risk and listen to them. If I’m wrong I’ll definitely report back as well as let the manufacturer know so that they don’t false advertise.

I don’t believe it’s necessary so I won’t, but if it feels like I’m having an alignment issue or seeing irregular wear then I’ll do it and contact macsboost and let them know about it

Contacted a few shops regarding having the macsboost shims installed, none are reasonable and the worst one is a shop that’s charging 1.5 hours of labor per side and they want to do an alignment which is not necessary according to the instructions. So I’m just gonna install it myself and save...

No they don’t, nor are they at full production capacity. If they were the price wouldn’t be what it currently is, it would be what it was when the refresh first came out.

This thread has now turned goofy, and with that I’m out. @mswlogo just my final 2 cents, I would stick with Tesla, at least for now. In a few years when more automakers adopt teslas charging standard, I think that’s when you’re really going to see some serious MS competitors. If the bmw i7...

My mistake, I wasn’t clear I meant most of the ones who cover their face.

Not a rant, sorry I used too many words for your liking. Also I said it earlier, I hate the government overall, both sides. Don’t care if you vote blue or red. And you’re right, people should purchase products based on the product, don’t let corporations emotionally manipulate you into buying...

Why do you think it won’t exist in 2 years? I haven’t seen anything to corroborate that. Maybe it won’t, I hope it does, it’s the only Tesla I like. But why worry and why jump ship so early. I don’t have to tell you about the alternatives on the market, I’m sure you’re well aware of what’s out...

Most of those protestors are paid to be there, they CANT have open discussion because they don’t truly hold an opinion on the issue, they’re just there to collect a paycheck. I always assume Anyone wearing a mask and hiding their identity at a protest is being paid to be there. They don’t want...

Getting parts has always been a crapshoot. In 2015 after an accident, my car was in the shop for 3 months waiting for a hood. Many people waited months for parts and this was back when Elon was every liberals wet dream. Elon Musk aside, if the model s/x is no longer good enough for you, if it...

What did Tesla stand for that he killed? Tesla was in the business of making electric cars, they still do. Elon wanted EVs to become mainstream… and they’ve basically accomplished that task.

He promised to give billions to end world hunger if the organization could prove that it would. They never did, and so he didn’t. Because he knew it was BS, one time donation of a few billion will not end world hunger. You knew that, yet you still twisted the facts to fit your narrative. You...

The car must have sold because the link just takes me to the used car list. No specific vehicle. Having said that, personally I’d choose a lightly used model s over a new y every time.

For it to be abandoned, Tesla would have had to be working on it. Is there any evidence that Tesla was working on it besides the completely made up claims backed by “trust me bro” sources?
