    The new seats look fantastic. Hoping for a retrofit option.

    Model S Aftermarket Wheel Fitment/Offset Discussion

    Model S Aftermarket Wheel Fitment/Offset Discussion

    Seeking experience with wheel spacer size compatible with the stock 21” wheels on S plaid. I don’t want to start rubbing fenders, so what have folks seen that works for front vs back? Thanks in advance

    POLL: vibration felt when slightly accelerating refresh Mode S Plaid or LR

    Is anybody aware of any aftermarket fixes? I’ve got 30,000 miles and now have a subtle vibration under acceleration at highway+ speeds. I’ve got lowering links on the suspension and run it low almost all the time. I really don’t want to go to Tesla and have them give me *sugar* about aftermarket...

    Model S Aftermarket Wheel Fitment/Offset Discussion

    Installed UP lowering links over a year ago. Run 19” signature w/ winters & 21” summers. No camera issues and run on FSD extensively. Most surprising, I do not have noticeable tread wear issues on either winter or summer set related to negative camber. I run default low. Don’t track but drive...

    NHTSA should replace the outdated "recall" nomenclature with something like Hardware Modification Order (HMO) and Software Modification Order (SMO).

    Cracked roof using roof rack w/ cargo box

    I am embarrassed to confess that my cracked glass was the result of installer error. I did not have the anchor bolt latched into the correct location. 🤬

    Cracked roof using roof rack w/ cargo box

    a few things: 1. SC told me that installation is included when the rack is purchased...I did not know this, but wasn't expecting to need assistance to install so wasn't looking for it 2. video is helpful. I certainly tighten more than what's described. 3. I do not believe that wind shifts the...

    Cracked roof using roof rack w/ cargo box

    This...I recently had exact same issue with rear bar pads leaning on the glass (see original post 2nd photo compared to this one of mine). I have installed and uninstalled this rack 5-6 times without incident, so I'm frustrated about this. The design for the roof rack clearly leaves little room...

    Give him a break...he was preoccupied in 2022 with his hostile takeover of Twitter in order to save free speech for mankind. Now that he's got that sorted out, he can get back to his regularly-scheduled "two weeks" updates.

    2021 Tesla Model S Refresh Roof Rack Installation Nightmare!

    My message wasn’t clear. I take mine off after every weekend ski trip. So I’m accustomed to installing them properly. On the latest install the rear driver side seat cracked the glass as I tightened the nuts. Tesla service said they’re not paying for it. I’m going to SC to argue the point.

    2021 Tesla Model S Refresh Roof Rack Installation Nightmare!

    I'm finding that after a year the rubber seats are warping slightly and putting extra pressure on the glass as the seat is uneven. Cracked one of the corners.

    Yoke is not reliably adjusting to saved preset location

    A few days ago my yoke stopped automatically adjusting from the Easy Entry setting back to my driving setting. I have to go to the yoke adjustment setting and then use the yoke button to get it to extend from fully recessed position. It will only extend OUT after I push the button for IN. It...

    Call me crazy, but on 10.69.3.1 I sense that FSD is actually positioning the car to avoid learned pavement disruptions (e.g., manholes, potholes).

    POLL: vibration felt when slightly accelerating refresh Mode S Plaid or LR

    I fear it will be some years before other OEMs match the styling, performance, comfort (4-5 adults comfortably in refresh S), range, software sophistication, reliable recharging network, etc, etc. And my Blackhawk is a beauty.

    Wiki MASTER THREAD: Actual FSD Beta downloads and experiences

    I wonder if there is something wrong with your internal camera or other hardware or sensors? I have no strikes after receiving 2022-36-20 a couple of weeks ago. And I have plenty of experience inappropriately checking my iPhone and looking out windows while on FSD beta on city streets. I'm...

    Wiki MASTER THREAD: Actual FSD Beta downloads and experiences

    Agree with all your observations and criticisms, but I do think this is getting close to being considerably more valuable on city streets and approach AP level of reliability. Your points could all easily be addressed in the v11 release or closely thereafter. But don't ask me to bet $ on it.

    Wiki MASTER THREAD: Actual FSD Beta downloads and experiences

    Certainly the FSD low hanging fruit would be to observe a lower speed associated with a yellow "SCHOOL" placard regardless of time of day. The driver can be alerted to the adjustment and press the go pedal to override...just a thought.

    Wiki MASTER THREAD: Actual FSD Beta downloads and experiences

    I'm also on 10.69.3.1 and agree with your observations. In addition, I would like to see: - speed-adjusted turn signal activation (turning off a fast moving road onto a small road requires greater anticipation) - improved courtesy to pedestrians walking on streets with no sidewalk. FSD waits to...

    Wiki MASTER THREAD: Actual FSD Beta downloads and experiences

    theoretically and I guess even actually, but practically I think FSD is seeking confirming evidence from an additional video input rather than basing a high risk decision on the outer bounds of a single camera. Just a guess.

    Wiki MASTER THREAD: Actual FSD Beta downloads and experiences

    Aside from code from the Tesla Semi intruding, I can only surmise that this is to increase the visual coverage given the A and B pillar camera locations... Ridiculous that humans do this on left and right turns as if they are driving tractor trailers and need to clear the rear axles. Idiots.

    FSD Beta v11.x

    I entered FSD Beta a few days ago directly onto 10.69.3. Based on last few days, there is still quite a bit of work to do. Half the time FSD gets confused by turn lanes and bizarrely turns on the blinker to stay in the through lane. Also, needs improved recognition of the signal light applicable...

    Removing / Replacing Air Struts

    I hadn't added that when changing to the winters I also installed UP's lowering brackets. Perhaps monkeying with the sensors during the bracket swap is what caused the overfill. idk. But I followed the advice to bleed the air off the rear struts (the hard way by removing each wheel and wheel...

    Removing / Replacing Air Struts

    I'm told that the rears over-pressurized and won't auto deflate in their current state. They need to be manually bled down. After texting with a knowledgable mechanic last night I apparently will see the fitting once I remove the wheel liner.

    Rocks accumulating inside bumper.

    I just noticed today rock accumulation but from the wheel-well side. The rocks are flying off the front tire and the flimsy liner is tucked inside of the bumper base. This allows the debris to accumulate and allow larger debris into the bumper area over time. I hadn't imagined it would...
