    Riping off Model S hepa filter?

    Done this once. Superhard job. first You cannot "cut it out", it´s glued to the frame with extra sturdy hard industrial glue, so whenever You wanna pry it out, even with specialised pry tools, Your can only do it bit by bit leaving and uneven mess. Next step is the fully air SEALED re gluing of...

    Sorry but I doubt it. No P90Ds EVER did this, heck even 100Ds seldomly report this P90Ds normally are around 90-100kW @50%. Can You do screenshots at various states? Thank You

    A $175.00 Mistake

    WAIT it’s not lost. I would guess the board/mechanics on the inside came out unharmed. Tesla sells a replacement fob shell kit for 50$ AFAIK. Talk to them and report back please. Thanks

    057 Technology

    Only these choices IMHO: - Tesla bought him out to silence this persistence and „in depth“ critic. - his battery swap model did not work out. - the precautions needed for a real battery replacement Business are horrendous: separate cooled bunkers, concrete walls, no available insurance for...

    Watch Musk Take Israel's Netanyahu For Tesla Cybertruck Ride

    There’s a massive problem with the wheel covers. One would think this late in the development cycle and so close to launch they try to get the coolest imagery out, yet all we get is images without covers. Something is bubbling on the wheel front, plus Elon looked worn out. Even more on the...

    Rusting of the rear lift gate attachment points

    The SEC loves to sell you the whole shock since they became a profit center ;) The clip is a standard VW clip. They sell it separate. The stud is a Chrysler part (leftover from the Daimler/Tesla days): MOPAR #: 6507844AA-M Please report back.

    MS LR Brake Squeak AFTER Fully Stopping

    Read above. You have to either switch brake pads and have apply put special rubber grease/Vibration damper on the back of those to isolate them from the brake caliper. The better solution would be to switch to 21“ forged wheels. The stiffer Alu doesn’t amplify the vibrations.

    You are wrong. It’s much fresher than what you imagine. Candy blood red metallic. A bold move at the right time. Add rear steering and a 22KW AC charger and you have a winner!

    MS LR Brake Squeak AFTER Fully Stopping

    Your brakes are 100% OK. It´s the vibration of the brake pad which is transferred and amplified by the casted 21" wheel construction.

    My god, that is so sad. Probably all academics. It sounds like a cheap videogame with the Russians acting with stone age tactics while the other side equipped with proper adequate 21 century tactics. Is it really THAT bad? Hopefully this finally sparks the impetus of overthrow.

    on nother note, and this might impact (positively) stock: EM seems die hard committed to make the MY 2024 Model X a success. We are seeing IMHO rear axle steering on the ultra red MX here, like on the EQS. Starts Min. 4:32 hope it´s not a test mule only.

    Cold Grease is a valid option. We have a guy here who injected via a syringe as much axle lube as possible and the shudder was gone. Guess the gravity has and effect, plus cold lube.

    Yes correct. I would guess they mimic the DeLorean way, in bringing in soft plastics to the hood, rear, fenders and bumper. Hmmm, that leaves practically nothing for the stainless steel in the EU. Homologation will be hard with the hard surfaces.
