This from notateslaapp.com Update: Intel vehicles are only getting the full screen visualizations if they have FSD and they’re in the U.S. or Canada. It’s not clear why the full screen visualization option is not available without FSD since other vehicles without FSD, but with the AMD processor...

Not sure when it arrived, but I also have NA-2024.8. Teslafi doesn’t seem to track NAV updates

Charging at 120 volts @ 12 amps is very inefficient. The car uses 400 watts to run the charging hardware, so you are drawing 1440 watts of power (120v*12A) but only utilizing 1040 watts to charge the battery. Roughly just 70% efficiency. Using a 240v at 32A, 7680 watts, charging efficiency goes...

For the fronts, if you’re raising one corner at a time, loosen the damper to bushing bolt and disconnect the stabilizer bar. (The stabilizer bar restricts lifting at a certain point.) Now lift the suspension and measure from top of fender well to hub center to desired height. This also...

If you have a Tesla account (not sure as you’re not the owner)try using teslafi.com to see those statistics They have a free trial period

Yeah, that was the height of car audio technology at the time!

After several drives no noticeable difference, so all good.

Got mine from Tire Rack

Expensive, but Redwood GT kit makes the M3 much more comfortable

I had the same situation. Modern spare sells just the tire for MY which uses the same wheel. IIRC it was ~$100. This is what I did.

Implemented this hack this afternoon. Pushing back the foam was harder than anticipated. Looks good though. Hope there’s no additional noise generated from not having the sub-trunk tub.

I would look for a 2023 with new comfort suspension

Have you consider that it might be a piece of dirt or gravel wedged between the brake caliper and the rotor. This came to mind when you mentioned the squeak got louder after a car wash. On my previous M3 I always had a squeak from the rear brake(s) after I washed the car. Mike didn’t persist...

I’m in Front Royal and wouldn’t mind having the name of that shop for future reference.

I see. .was not aware! Almost makes me want that to happen.😫

Curious to know what issues you have with TACC. I have very little to complain about with mine. The unexpected braking thing is now a rare occurrence

The install is not difficult. The most tedious part is compressing the front springs and locating them in the correct orientation on the new dampers. Rear is simple.

I know. It’s just odd that it works that way.

No, but doesn’t seem like rocket science. One could always inquire with Dinan or one of their retailers.

Are you saying that if one does not take the credit from the dealer that he does not get the same tax credit treatment and can only get the full 7500 credit if his total tax for the year is over 7500? Don’t know why anyone would not take the dealer credit, but it sounds discriminatory to...

Still would likely work better than trimming the original ones for non-Dinan springs.

That is indeed how it now works. I was not able to get the full 7500 on my 2023 return as my total tax was less than 7500, but this year I would qualify 🥵. Guess I’ll have to go buy another one this year just so I can get the credit!!

Yes you would get the credit at the dealer, but if 7500 exceeds your total tax liability then you must pay IRS back for the difference. That’s the “non-refundable” part. As stated above you cannot have a net negative tax for the year.

My single experience on 2019 M3LR was 11% degradation at 46,000 miles after 4 years.

Does anyone know if the mounting nuts are present behind the interior trunk coverings in all versions, so that after market anchors could be fitted?

Not sure where I got this screenshot. Apparently some cars have them.

But then you don’t get the new wheels, seats, steering, adaptive suspension, etc.

I understand the math, but if you’re going much under 75 on a 70 speed limit road, you’ll get run over and piss a lot of folks off. Angry tailgaiters are everywhere.

Just tried and it works fine. I’m on 2024.3.15 - 2023 MYLR

MY only engages front motor under heavy acceleration or when the rear wheels start to slip, otherwise it’s a rear wheel drive car.

One possible solution might be to install thrust bearings. Might help at the extremes where the suspension is twisting the most.

With regard to the subject of this thread, have the wipers been fixed???

The opening height of the tailgate can be adjusted so that doesn’t happen. It’s in the manual.

219 wh/mi lifetime is amazingly low. I have the same mileage on 2023 MYLR, and mine is around 260. Most of my mileage (75%) is interstate 75-80 mph, so maybe that accounts for the difference.

Sounds like cars that have creep will keep it, but it is not an option on new ones.

It seems that if the sky is a certain shade of uniformly gray, not too bright and not too dark, and is raining at just the correct rate then they work perfectly 😆

After driving today in the rain, I’m gonna retract the comment above. Raining intermittently with some brighter skies and wipers were characteristically horrible. Wiping with no rain and not wiping with rain that completely covered the windshield. I waited and waited for them to kick in but had...

Although I still do get random dry weather wipes, wipers do work much better in the rain with the trial FSDP than I did before the update. Hoping this continues after the one month free period ends. I will not consider subscribing until FSD gets better than it is presently. Maybe I haven’t...

Agreed. In addition, wh/mi usage by consumer can be tracked in the energy app in real time.

This is true, but as soon as TACC, autopilot or FSD is activated, wipers revert back to AUTO

Hate the dry wipe that just started recently. Wish they’d fix that.

Grew up in NYC area and it was(is?) used commonly there.

Yeah. Where is it disproven. Just read a Reuters article where it looked like the story is real.

Does this only happen with low profile tires?

I LOVE creep. Would seriously consider not buying another Tesla without it unless all other EVs did not have it as well. Have used HOLD in the past with the hope of adapting to it, but always revert back to CREEP.

Apologies if I misunderstood your post. I’m sure there are folks who would do that kind of thing, thankfully not you.

When one unnecessarily places another’s life at risk I call that irresponsible if not negligent. If that driver were to wreck and one of those teens killed, they could and should be prosecuted. I know, “it can’t happen to me”. Unfortunately it does, every day. Unexpected and unavoidable...

You only need to move about a foot while turning the wheel for the tire not to squirm.
