That wrap stuff, or something like it, is available on Amazon in 36-inch by 100-foot rolls of "Armor-dillo" for some $78 which might be an option for temporary paint protection on the nose in lieu of PPF or an expensive bra, etc. Someone else go first and report back, eh?

Nicely done! How was that video made/what was it recorded on?

With the announcement that the Plaid Model S will use 4680 cells in a structural role, I'm guessing the Plaid model to be simply the top level of a completely redesigned Model S, which has been rumored for some time. A redesigned Model X shouldn't be far behind. The Roadster and Cybertruck...

Ripping yarn! 256 WH/mi is better than I would have guessed. Does that figure include the energy spent at rest i.e. running a/c overnight? Did you make any special effort toward efficiency in your driving habits? Best - Gary

Have you asked to see the car? Seems like a reasonable request. Since they are a middleman, the cars could be anywhere. If it is viewable and in NL, there may be a member who could give it a once-over.

Procedure addendum: It might be better to start at a front corner instead of a rear corner. Needs study. After all four Unijacks are in place, all should be adjusted to lowest position possible. Be safe. Cheers - Gary

Four Unijacks: https://www.amazon.com/Alltrade-640912-Black-All-Bottle/dp/B00GJJZ5YC/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=all-in-one+jack&qid=1590899684&sr=8-1&th=1 plus jack pucks, of course. $62 each. Procedure: with low profile floor jack, jack LR corner until Unijack 1 fits under LF corner...

Would it be possible for anyone to photoshop/enhance that image to increase the contrast between the two profiles? Many thanks, in advance.

How do you know the Primacy MXM4s are craptastic in terms of performance? Do you know of any threads that have included data (not seat-of-the-pants opinion)? If anyone reading this has experience with high performance driving on the OE tires, i.e. autocross etc., please chime in with your...

@kbecks13, for my curiosity, did you have the stainless steel brake lines installed at the same time as the new brake pads? I wonder how the new brake pedal feel is affected by each of the two changes.

I am astounded this question doesn't come up more often. I wonder if it only occurs rarely. This thread is difficult to find for the usual reasons (how do you search for a problem that can be worded many ways)

Looks like a candidate for a paintless repair, if you can find one in your area with a good reputation.

The math seems to work out that the inside clearance shouldn't change since the offset is the same. The .5" narrower wheel should mean that the outer rim is less susceptible to curb rash because the tire should take the initial rash abuse.

After I got everything connected the first time, the charging didn't start out so smoothly - charging started then stopped a couple times and tripped the breaker once. I lowered the charging amperage on the charging page on the screen in the car to 20 amps and everything has gone smoothly ever...

I am renting a workshop with precisely that outlet and am charging my Tesla there at 20 amps, getting a 15 mph charging rate. I bought this pigtail adapter https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078JLDB3Z/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 from Amazon for $40, to adapt to the NEMA 14-50...
