By increasing property insurance rates.

That's what I used but installed with a torque wrench. At only 59 lb-ft it doesn't take much counter torque to hold the steering wheel. Also, the shaft is indexed so you don't need to mark it. It can't be installed at a different angle. More detailed write up later today.

I noticed too that it's slightly later.

That's from home, not auto policies.

Yes but it doesn't seem be any different than my '22 MXP in behavior.

Mine has never once had this startup vibration parked for only 10 hours....not even in the snow. Perhaps there's more than one issue with similar symptoms.

Mine doesn't vary. It either happens or it doesn't. It happens if it's been more than about a day. If I park overnight in the snow in 20F overnight temps, it doesn't happen if I parked it just the night before. It only ever happens if I skip a day or more of driving and then it doesn't matter...

Given that it lasts exactly the same number of seconds every time, I think it's due to an intentional change in some part or system. Did they intend the driver to feel the vibration in the pedals? Who knows, but whatever is causing it is intentional.

No. We all have that because it's by design. But to me it's more like the grind of an electric pump motor than a vibration.

Sell the 21's and buy the 19's. Acceleration is even faster.

3K miles in my February Plaid and no sign of vibrations of any kind in any condition. I guess I won the lottery.

I think I'd use the term participant rather than subscriber. But yes, this is for VPP, not what our power walls do when the power goes out.

I didn't get anything after my second submission.

An alignment is always necessary for any suspension geometry changes. Heck, it's even needed if you swap identical suspension parts.

I went ahead and submitted it again.

Even though the form took my email, I got no notification that they'd even received the request. I'm tempted to submit it again, but with my luck, the first request will go through, I'll enroll in the new program, and then the second request will go through which will kick me out of that.

I submitted the dis-enrollment a week ago. Still showing enrolled in the app.

$700 for an hours worth of work (not including alignment). Wow!

Probably that. The yellow thread locker was completely toast. If the factory bolts come with thread locker, then that's the answer. Also explains why it took way more than 60 lbs-ft of torque spec to remove.

How seriously should we take the service manual with regards to re-use of the steering wheel bolt? The service manual says to discard and not reuse which is typical of stretch to yield. I suspect most just re-use. Wonder if anyone has any service invoices from switching steering wheels that...

It's such a small additional effort there's no reason not to.

BTW, the how to video shows removing the airbag with the power still on. All the other yoke/round wheel replacement videos which also show removing the airbag absolutely do the LV and HV disconnects first.

Not sure if the manual is different for 2024, but it says to remove the gap hider above the steering column shroud which means removing the main display and a bunch of other trim. https://service.tesla.com/docs/ModelS/ServiceManual/Palladium/en-us/GUID-9BF1AE5D-E531-404C-A08F-4A3CB64DED80.html...

And just to be clear, AB205 is law and is what is going into effect. AB1999 is a proposal to repeal AB205 with a proposed much lower utility tax. It has no chance of becoming law because even if it passes the house and senate, Newsom will veto it. At this point, it will either have to become a...

I see your using the side clips for the center console and not the Velcro as the carpet material is not a loop style so the Velcro hooks won't stick. I can't get the side clips to insert between the console plastic and the carpet on my 2024. I can get them to go in sideways at a right angle...

https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-limited-apr-model-y/ Just FYI to the naysayers.

Yea, you're not getting a massive discount on inventory unless it's a beat up demo with a lot of miles and at least a year old.

Even if this passes in the senate, Newsom will never sign it. The only bill that is law now is the one that allows the CPUC to tax us without any limits at all. The only real limit will be what the CPUC and IOUs think they can get away with before enough voters have had enough and either have...

So is this on top of the existing $10 minimum billable? If not, then it's a $15 difference for a total of $25. If yes, then they'll be getting $35 / month from us that we can't get out of.

I'm afraid to try it so close to elrp season and not being enrolled in either.

I got a good laugh out of this one.

Unless you can be sure the car hasn't been through an auction, third party dealer, or Tesla itself, the FUSC, if shown, could vanish at any time up to even a year later (since Tesla has been very slow sometimes to strip lifetime benefits). If you are buying it from the original owner or a...

If the front right measured 37 off the car and on the balancer, then that alone will cause the issue.

I second the suggestion that for those that have the center horn (i.e. 2024+) that the pulling the left stalk back activates the brights. I have all the tools you could ever imagine so I'm not worried about the installation workflow. Hopefully the clearance on the cover is a glitch or...

Even in those cases their bill won't go down.

It's a shell game. They will immediately propose rate increases as they have been but at slightly larger increments so they're back to where they would have been PLUS a $25 fixed charge. That fixed charge will double low income apartment dwellers bill.

Right. We know it doesn't happen on the '21s.

2K miles so far. Perhaps it's because I've never accelerated more than lightly on anything higher than the lowest suspension setting. In fact, I won't accelerate more than moderately without having suspension setting visible just to make sure. Today, while driving around Santa Cruz for hours, I...

I would notice. I'm severely allergic to NVH.

First drive after sitting for more than a day. Doesn't matter when that is morning, afternoon, or evening. Lasts about a minute. You can feel it in the accelerator pedal (some say brake pedal too). Not felt in the steering wheel at all. When it stops, it's an abrupt stop like something turned off.

Wait, your brand new is vibrating on acceleration? Not just the cold start grind vibration that occurs for the first minute or so? Am I lucky that I haven't had a hint of anything like this in my 2 month old MSP?

No depreciation. The buyback offer will have been full price plus accessory cost and registration fees.

Laying off the supercharger team seems like the last human resources they should have laid off. Having opened up the network to other manufacturers, they should be accelerating deployment and expansion. Dumbest decision I've seen in years or it's a sign of far more serious internal issues that...

I bought a factory key off of ebay still sealed in the bag for $82.

The rumor couldn't have been stronger. Supposed reliable sources with inside contacts all verifying RGB and camera absolutely coming. Result is supposed reliable source's reputations completely shattered. That one screen shot with an employee saying they're just working through the last of the...

BTW, if you include me in the give away, I'll do an installation and review video and post it within 2 days of receiving it. I don't have a lot of subscribers, but the last short I posted on youtube got over 6600 hits in just a few days:

This looks awesome and the installation looks very straight forward. How do I get it ???? I have a 2024 MSP with round wheel (new center horn button). Couple of questions. Any concern that Tesla might disable this in the future by securing third party adons that talk through the canbus? i.e...

You'd think with dramatically reduced values in the last year back to even before pre-pandemic that they'd lower rates back down because they're average payout per vehicle (highest ones being total losses) are so much lower than before. But each insurer charges as much as they can get away with...

It matters to me ;)

Both of those prices are well below what it costs Tesla to make the LR and Plaid. But I agree with you sort of. I think they should both be $0. Tesla is crazy not to just give them away for free ;)
