After two years with imported AWD LR from Japan and in spite of Musk being -er- eccentric sometimes, we love it. To get round fishing for controls while driving, have mounted a GPS immediately in front of driver and leave 'controls' up on the screen. Fan, wipers and other things are always to...

Cheers guys; I'm the jammiest bloke around. About 18 months ago I saw a red 2019 LR being imported from Japan, lightly used, and grabbed at it , paying $500 for first dibs. Red and shiny drove it round the block, completed trade and took it home. Now with solar panels and storage battery, going...

Apart from Musk's antics, well worth the wait. Our 2019 3 LR seems to have extra urge and some apparently get unsung extras...

I remember that a year or so ago a trailer load of new Teslas tipped over, sustaining damage to their right sides. Is this one of them?

MICHELIN ARE NOT A LOT MORE EXPENSIVE FOR (PROBABLY) BETTER QUALITY...

At last, having wondered what on earth was going on with my totally standard 2019 M3 LR AWD which appears to get to 100km/h in about 3 seconds, I have a possible answer. Our import from Japan could (just 'could') be a 'stealth' model. I used to race cars and Chichi is much much faster than any...

...angels?...

All cars feel better with reduced unsprung weight; you guys are adding unsprung weight to a perfectly good driver...there may be consequences...

Left wife at home and on way home from Doc tried a 3-second sprint so as not to speed by too much just in case...hit cruise control at 'Massachusetts three' and to my amazement, when I looked at the speed it was at 104kph...model 3 long range is surprisingly quick but haven't been able to repeat...

I pass the lever to neutral then indicate anew; often with short turns just lightly rest the lever up or down with a finger; it is an electronic system, not purely mechanical...

My m3LR failed warrant due one tyre at "0mm" tread. Our warrants allow for the tyres to wear 1.6mm before next annual warrant (costly but true). Replaced full set with Michelin Primacy 4s, aligned and away. Straight, quiet and more economical so far; down from 1.52 to 1.33 power usage... No...

First impression; stunningly quiet, hope they last...

Have just fitted Michelin Primacy 4 tyres with summer coming on. Got 35000km from my most worn Michelin Sport 4; will be keen to see if the new quietness has any advantages.

In real English the word is 'boot' as in 'boot sales' beloved of poms at the weekends. Tail-gate parties are so necessary because 'Merkin 'football' goes on so long patrons will die of hunger without sustenance...

A general observation; all wheels on your car must be exactly the same specification per axle, have the same wear and have similar inflation pressure. If wheels on an axle for significant lengths of time are significantly different it may mess up front to rear axle drive ratio electronics...
