    DTC-30 will not solve any dust problems. If you want a "dust free" break pads then you need to find a ceramic break pad. I have no good experience with them other than building up to much heat and cracking them.

    Now Shipping: Custom Tesla Roadster 2-Piece Slotted Rotors

    Not sure where HPS pads came from, but those are oem+ pads. DTC-30 is a much better pad for this car. A full set list price should run you about 350. Also, I'm not sure what all this talk about track vs street pad is about. The major different between the two is temperature ranges. Considering...

    Ouch! Meeting with a tow hitch....

    That looks like a really easy repair, to get back to new you will need to either repair or replace your front armature, "front foam", bumper cover and front grill. All in probably 2500 not including labor would be my guess. If I were you I would just do a carbon fiber repair to the front...

    Hawk does not publish their operating temps from what I have seen, but I personally have driven Infineon(home track) with Carbotechs "best" back to back with Hawks "best". Hawk was overall better hands down. With the weight of the roadster I would not really use anything else. Also Hawks are...

    Now Shipping: Custom Tesla Roadster 2-Piece Slotted Rotors

    I think for this run we might be getting hawk pads through a connection I have. They are much better for heat build up and stopping power than either the X6 or the Bobcat 1521.

    Properly Removing 1.5 PEM

    What is the PEM shutdown producer?
  24. J

    Properly Removing 1.5 PEM

    The 2.5 PEM was designed for maintenance and service. The 1.5 PEM is nothing like that. It has fewer connectors and the ones it does have are much higher quality designed for hot disconnect. NOT saying a hot disconnect should be performed because I am sure the PEM was not designed for it. I...

    Properly Removing 1.5 PEM

    I need to clean my PEM. The connections are not labeled nor is the procedure published that I can find and Tesla will never publish a maintenance manual. It would be good to get people that have done this before to talk about the steps involved.

    OK, what are the disconnecting steps? How do you turn the PEM off and safely remove the wires?

    McLaren supercar owners are the most likely to buy a Tesla...

    yep, but their logic is totally wrong... power for money. The model S's power has a feeling that is totally unique, it might not have the top speed of the mp4 but day to day it's impossible to beat.

    Petition to rollback 5.8s suspension behavior modification at high speeds

    You are correct that your car is a higher now. 5/16" higher to be exact. Also you are correct about Low as been disabled on the freeway.

    Petition to rollback 5.8s suspension behavior modification at high speeds

    The best thing I can say to that, is drive as fast or slow as you want and see how the car performs. To me the car is unstable at the standard ride height while driving at what I call higher speeds or pushing the limited of what this performance car can do. This car's 0-60 time put in the super...

    Petition to rollback 5.8s suspension behavior modification at high speeds

    I would agree there is a very noticeable difference in handling and breaking from the standard to low ride setting. On 5.8 the car simply feels unstable at high speed.

    19" Turbine Wheel Solution

    After talking with several vendors, making new aluminum center cap it a bit out of the question. The average price for a set for 4 is 1000 bucks, not including paint. So, Instead I opted to paint my caps. I'll post pics once the caps come back from paint. I asked the shop to fill and color match...

    I am sending the design files off to the mill later today I'll let you know what the results are. Is there anyone is the bay area that has the silver rims, so I can do a color match?

    19" Turbine Wheel Solution

    I am working up a quote right now, basically it's a 60mm Tesla OEM match in both lugano rim colors. My best guess is $80 a set, but again that's a educated guess.

    From the description they are just the sticker.

    19" Turbine Wheel Solution

    How is the quality of these stickers? If they are pretty good then I might consider them however if not I am thinking of getting 60mm center caps milled from aluminum, would anyone prefer that? I'm thinking about to make exact 60mm copies of the Tesla stock center cap to match the lugano rim colors.

    I spoke with Rial early on, it would have taken a very large order in order to get the same price as we got from tire rack. like 100 or so sets.

    I just got home to test out the fit, and it turns out the Tesla center caps are a bit smaller than the Luganos ones. I am goes to see if a mod is possible. Also Tire Rack sent me black lug nuts. They look much better than the caps. For anyone that has the wheels mounted do they sitting...

    I just picked up 4 grey center caps and 20 lug caps. Tesla is now using black lug caps to cover the lugs instead of power coats the lugs. They said they were getting to many complaints of damaged lugs after services.

    Just got my wheels today, they look pretty good. I am working on getting the Tesla center caps fit in as well as power coating everything to match the OEM grey wheels. They are pretty close in color, but not perfect. More pics to come.
