    Direct 18" vs. 20" wheel comparison for efficiency

    I have a 2023 M3P. I ran the OEM tires for about 8000 miles and then had an encounter with a pothole that necessitated a tire change to DWS06+ as that was all that was in stock in my local area at the time. The DWS06+ were noisier and harsher riding than the OEM Pirelli's and after some...

    Elon Musk Discussion - Tesla Brand Damage

    IMHO, Musk is feeling the heat over his ill timed and stupid/poorly executed decision regarding the Supercharger Team and now he's play damage control.

    DWS06+ or PS4AS or FK460

    Due to an encounter with a pothole, I ran 4 new 245/35-20 DWS06+ on my M3P for about 900 miles on stock Uberturbines. Compared with the stock Pirelli's they were noisier and did not ride as well (they were stiffer and seemed to be just generally harsher riding). I ended up going with a...

    Elon Musk Discussion - Tesla Brand Damage

    https://electrek.co/2024/05/06/tesla-tsla-launches-another-round-layoffs/ IMHO, this is another fine example of why Elon Musk should not be the CEO of Tesla (or even the manager at the local Taco Bell, for that matter)...

    Elon Musk Discussion - Tesla Brand Damage

    When the company is under stress? While yes, sales are down a bit. Tesla is still profitable. I don't think you could call it "under stress". It's not the friggin' end of the world when sales are down a bit. I think you'd find it difficult to find anyone who would call @RebeccaTinucci a...

    Elon Musk Discussion - Tesla Brand Damage

    It's not about whether or not I like the my Tesla vehicles. It's a longer term view of what is happening with the company. I do not believe in any way shape or manner that Elon Musk is playing some type of 4 dimensional chess here. He's just not that smart. Look at his posts on Twitter/X for...

    Elon Musk Discussion - Tesla Brand Damage

    It's been sort of a given that Elon Musk's association with the Tesla brand has both positive and negative connotations, but over the last couple of years it seems to have heavily tilted towards the negative. He seems to spend more time operating in tilt mode than he ever has. It all seemed to...

    Entire Supercharging Team Fired?

    Occam's Razor - The manbaby @elonmusk was pissed because @RebeccaTinucci would not lay off 10% of her Tesla Charging team, so in a fit of rage, he fired her and her whole team.

    T Sportline horrible customer service

    To get back on the subject of this thread, I also tried calling Tsportline on their posted number and it just goes to voicemail. I left a voicemail asking to cancel my order and provided my name and order number. To recap, I placed my order 1 week ago and have sent them 4 different emails to...

    T Sportline horrible customer service

    I buy quite a bit from amazon (primarily I.T./tech hardware) . and they don't actually charge your card instantly. The last order that I placed was charged in 4 different segments over three days as the items were shipped. In my situation, I've been seeing this same behavior from Amazon for a...

    T Sportline horrible customer service

    I'm seeing something similar. I ordered wheels 4 days ago and they immediately charged my Credit Card, but no other communication from them other than an initial "we've received your order" email. According to the rules from the Credit Card providers, they are not supposed to charge your card...
