    The optimal suspension settings

    Coming from BMWs and Benz, I have to admit that I first struggled with the rough and too firm feeling of the suspension. It just didn’t like how it handled rough roads. After a good amount of time trying multiple settings day after another (comfort, auto, sport, advanced, etc), I settled on...

    One thing I really liked about Tesla (long time ago before I even got my 1st Tesla) was the smooth and easy experience with the “sales locations/shop”, even after a test-drive. No question asked, given the keys, test drive, handed keys back, out. I drive a Model S now. Recently I wanted my...

    Dynamic / Auto speed-limit adjust (Auto-Pilot)

    Just a bit disappointed with Tesla Auto-Pilot (not FSD). I have been driving German cars for more than a decade, and since 2016, every single one of 7 Mbenz or BMW cas I owned did Auto-Speed adjust to match the new posted speed as I pass a new speed limit sign while driving on cruise control...

    Hello, Looking at a number of 2022 MS vehicles, some have the new headlights and some have the older ones. Of course all of them have the refreshed interior. Is it a deal-breaker or should it matter if I find two identical vehicles except for headlights? Is that something I should factor in?
