Did Tesla give up on various types of solar roof tiles? It's been years and nothing. The slate look ones are the ones I'd be interested in. Looks like they unofficially gave up

I got OEM 2018 wheel with aero covers and tires I'd sell. Tires have around 15k miles on them. Located in SoCal

Perfect, thanks!

Any idea if this would be covered by a powertrain warranty? Not sure how powertrain is understood

I had a tech change my cabin air filter and he said the tech prior to him must have cut the male end that plugs into this speaker that’s under the glove compartment. He said I needed to take it to tesla to get it fixed. He didn’t tell me a part number, give me any picture or basically anything I...

4 years in. Still recommend the white. Only one small stain cause I floorer it while my friend was chugging some ungodly dyed energy drink. Stain is the size of a pea and not prominent. Gave done 35k mile and 7 weeks or so of car camping over the years

Glare depends on where you live. It was terrible when we lived in Vegas. Its ok in CA, and nothing when overcast. However, its an easy fix by wearing polarized sunglasses. I recommend the white And polarized sun glasses

Ceramic dash Requires polarized sun glasses

That’s excellent and would more than meet any lift I would be looking for in my 3. Any idea if the GT allow for say a 20 mm lift on a model 3. If so then I just got to figure out if the spring rates Id like most. UP wont disclose the spring rates on their mild spring to me so I have no...

Hmm. Right now i have UP dual rate springs and am very happy for the price. They corner as flat as I need but arent too stiff. I do want ohlins dampers and ideally more compliance than I have now that can handle LAs roads better. Ideally I also want to be able to lower it up to 0.5 inches...

So is this is basically repurposing the RT kit with the same spring rate as the GT? Should new buyers go GT?

Is it possible to have the option of a bit of a lift as well as a drop? I want a city setting (up to half inch drop) but also a snow/backcountry setup (idk 0.5-1.5 lift maybe?) that I can use on unmaintained roads to access less visited hiking and camping areas until my cyber truck comes. It...

What’s the height adjustment on the online kit? I like a drop of up to half an inch, which should be not problem, but I would also like the option to raise the car a little bit. I’ve been going to national parks and such and some of the unmaintained dirt roads can be difficult to clear. I’ve...

that would be great

Would love a cyber truck where the back seat folds down into a futon that two can sleep on. Then just add a pop up shower/bathroom setup in the bed and it would be great if backcountry roads/adventure

The lack of superchargering for the BMW alone is enough reason to the get the tesla. Thinking of how terrible bmw software has been, I’m sure it’s also no where as good as autopilot. I don’t miss my bmw. I no longer have a relationship with several mechanics and shops. Which is a great thing.

Woo so is it safe to assume we might see a 3500 lb P3D? Cant wait to see the newer batteries and the light weight. If only they made it in a coupe that I could still car camp in.

I already did. $800 or so and after 1.5 years a turn signal is starting to peel.

Ill Trade You mine

Leaving room is stupid. That’s how you end up the middle car in a 3 car pile up. Trust me, I have experience. **** those that follow to close. Not your problem.

I out UP mild springs on mine. It made the handing much better. It was much more bounce prior to the springs. Now it corners flat and the expansion gaps in the pavement don't beat me upside the head for 30 minutes of road at a time. That and the MPP brake brace are must having IMO. Same...

Any luck? Any comments on the street feel? Wondering how they compare to the Page Mill Performance Front Rotors on the street. I know they are better for the track but feel is a big area for improvement and the stiffer calipers my improve feel, or are the upgraded rotors as much as will be...

Try upgrading your suspension first. I had aeros. Those are light and felt like *sugar* until I replaced the springs with UP milds. That made it feel like a sporty sedan. You could still feel the all seasons though. Still felt porky but not like I was all over road. After that the 255/35/20...

255/35 is better. Say they weight 1-2lb more? Thats not noticeable at all. But sidewall goes up 0.1 inch. That fills in the wheel well gap a bit batter. More importantly, that extra 0.1 inch (2-3 mm) helps to cushion the rim a bit more. The bigger gain is probably that the wheels have a...

Its sad the Bentley GT is still ahead when its more OEM than plaid

See the picks I posted of my 20x9 +35 offset with 255/35/20 tires. My car is lowered on UP milds, so that does tuck the tire a bit but I think they will be fine and wont poke. Ive got some extra space on mine as is. Someone on the forums had the same tires on the uber turbines with factory...

my offset is +35 with a 9.0 wide rim. You could prob do a 5mm space on the rear with +34 assuming the gray calipers like I have (don't know on the red ones offset). I wanted some slip stream cause aero. But I also get a little more tuck in because I got 0.5 in drop. I have standard MPS4s...

255/35/20 is the way to go. Assuming those are 20x9. Fills the wheel gap better. More tire to cushion and protect the rim. Cheaper tires too.

Thoughts on wheel locks, especially with 129 ft/lbs torque requirement?

What are you torquing them too? 129 ft/lbs is what Tesla says to use but what are those rated for? Also, are you avoid impact drills? I've heard it can break those, which makes me hesitant and I assume any auto shop is going straight to the impact drill.

My dash rattles. Hate it.

more pics

Good to know. As long as I can run it doesnt really matter. Its not like Im n excellent driver thats going to win much against others that are, lol.

So does this mean my UP mild springs disqualify me? What about adding stainless steel brake lines? Those should be fine. also running 20x9 bc forged wheels woth pilot sport 4s 255/35/20 tires on a 2018.

I just replaced mine with 20's or I'd send you want I had. UP performance my have some pics. They put some on my car. It's a good option, especially with some drop.

See my post I just did above. Although red calipers have a different offset so keep that in mind and adjust.

BC forged wheels. 255/35/20 Pilot Sport 4s on stealth P3D. 20x9.0 with +35 offset. Weighed one wheel and it was 20.8 lbs (too difficult to unpack and weigh all). Cant see it here but could have upped the concavity a good amount, but otherwise really happy with them so far. Wondering if the...

255/35/20’s on my model 3. Pilot Sport 4s on 20x 9.0 BC Forged wheels. Got 50 miles so far. So far so good. Enjoying them! Offset is +35 on a stealth P3D. Put the zero-g wheels in the settings. Havent hit traction control enough to get a judge or use track mode yet. Noise is not a lot...

It's probably the giant glass roof reflecting sound vs the soft roof in the volt absorbing it. I think Tesla f'd itself over by requiring the glass roof.

The UP dual rate springs do make a noticeable difference (I have the milds). I think its mostly because it prevents the damping from resonating like it does with standard springs. But the cornings is flatter too. Although I do get some suspension noise when turning tight at slow speeds. Very...

If they can give a roadster the specs of a model S LR while reducing the weight it to Porsche 911 levels is could work. If they make more profit than any other vehicles it could still be worth it to them. No one sane is going to be tracking a full on roadster. I want one I can do a few laps...

Get the roof sunshade. It creates an insulated air gap. It block the IR transfer that is radiating from the heated glass (not just the sun IR). Tint wont do that. the roof glass is thicker than the side glass. As such it carries more heat capacity. This heat capacity it mostly given off via...

This is exactly what I want. Model S LR specs but in a 3500 lb roadster for $120k. Will eat Porsches for lunch.

Clicking when your turning the wheel as the car moves at slow/tight turns?

Im about to just get some concert ear plugs. My soon to have 255s are probably going to be too loud too...

I got mine maybe in fall. The noise is not a bid deal. Only when I got near lock to lock for the most part I get a few clicks. Its entirely tolerable.

You can get a hitch and add some storage space on that https://www.autoguide.com/top-10-best-hitch-cargo-carriers

I also get some noise when turning. Idk how much a long term issues it can cause. I'll prob go to MPP coil overs in the next year. Other than the noise I'm been very happy with the milds.

Where do you find these dB ratings? This is good stuff.
