    Is there a market for patents by Nikola Tesla included in The Official Gazette of the United States Patent Office? I have a bunch of them, and am trying to figure out their value.

    Add Sound Insulation to Tires?

    I have an opportunity to buy some mint used Continental ProContact tires in 255/45R19 to fit my Model Y. But, they are NOT from a Tesla, so they don't have the insulation. Can that be easily added?

    Is there a way to autopark into your garage (preferably backed in) while you remain in the car? I know that autopark has a "double tap" option to go into a garage, but can you somehow remain in the car? I've had to many close calls backing in!

    Fix scratched PPF?

    It appears as though a rock or something scratched my PPF on my hood. Thought it was a bug, but it doesn't come off and seems to be a scratch. Although, it's yellowish, which is odd. Assuming it IS a PPF scratch, is there an easy way to remove it?

    NOA - Speed Limit Changes

    Shouldn't the car adjust the speed based on its recognition of changes in the speed limit? Or, do you have to touch the speed limit sign indicator to get it to change? If so, WTF? If not, what setting am I missing?

    Regen Braking Temporarily Reduced - Every time

    I charge to about 90%, but even after driving for 20miles, every time I get in my car, I get the "Regen Braking is Temporarily Reduced". This shouldn't be the case when it's 60deg out and I'm at 90% or lower, right? Anything I can do to fix this myself?
