    I dunno. This looks identical to me... 🤣

    Yup, noticed condensation in all of the lenses after washing the car so decided to take a look at why and found every light cracked to the point I could split them open like the video.

    Eh, all 4 of my rear tail lights were cracked. Someone had the screw gun on kill. Tesla came out to the house and replaced all 4.

    Painters tape might be better if you can get your hands on some. It's a lot thinner and doesn't leave adhesive on the paint

    The person I referred to earlier found the noise actually coming from the top of the windshield as mentioned earlier. They used painters tape to troubleshoot. Not a bad idea...

    Someone in the local Tesla facebook group mentioned the same thing but with a Model 3. If it was my car, I would do/check the following: 1. check to see how the doors and panels align to each other. If one of the surfaces is protruding, that could create a "bump" in the air causing noise 2...

    Here's my completely subjective opinion on spending a lot of money on this particular car... Over 5 years ago, I drove off the lot in a Model S with a huge smile on my face. I have an even bigger one now. There are so few things in my life that I can spend money on that bring me this much...

    If the car is under warranty, I would take it in to the service center or have the mobile guys/gals come out and address it and use the warranty you paid for (I know Tesla techs have a track record of fking things up even worse). I would send this one back though.

    The rear window warping always gets me excited and then immediately disappointed. I look in the rearview mirror and see this widebody Audi RS5 coming up behind me, put the car in Plaid mode, only to see it morph into an old lady driving an A4

    It's funny how many people have a different perspective on what reliability means. It seems like most people think that if you have to bring your car in for service or you have to do some kind of maintenance on it, that it is unreliable - or that if a button pops off, it's unreliable. Wouldn't...

    The monolithic business models of current-day vehicle manufacturing are going to struggle to be able to catch Tesla. Tesla's ability to change the wheels on the bus while it's driving down the road makes it pretty resilient to almost anything. Granted, it's that model that makes the company a...

    Lucid have an enticing product. I think they copied Tesla's approach to building a new car manufacturer model but the current economic landscape is completely different compared to when Tesla did it, so I'm not convinced they will see the same ramp up in sales as Tesla did. They are maybe a...

    If you looked at Tesla's pricing for their flagship model, it has always been a sine wave. Hell, I paid the same for my used 2 year old 2016 P90DL than I did for my brand new Plaid. #LearningHowToBuyTheDip

    You're fortunately/unfortunately ordering at a time where Tesla are making some fairly significant framework changes to their product(s). Considering the almost "DevOps" model they follow when iterating their product design, sometimes it seems like they don't even know when the product will be...

    I'm genuinely very curious to know what your alternative options are if you cancel your order. I've pretty much snookered myself into only being able to drive a model S because nothing I've driven within the price range (granted, not much) has come anywhere close to the driving experience. Yes...

    FSD is absolutely terrifying. Now, I have not been exposed to v12 yet, but still also very skeptical. Being a tesla owner since 2018, there's a track record of disappointment when it comes to software upgrades/updates. I personally feel his opinion here is spot on but looking forward to...

    I would expect an EPA range for MS LR at around 382 miles. The current EPA rating on the MSP is spot on, albeit, interwebz tested at 70mph and dipping deep into the buffer.

    Oh, and to add, I think I used between 5 or 6% battery on my dumb runs. I was mainly driving around 80-85mph most of the way.

    Here's another Grumble real world driving battery consumption data point. I have a really heavy right foot, so in the hands of someone that doesn't Hulk-smash the accelerator, normal miles/kwh could be way better than mine. I only had the car for a week, so it was important to find out how it...

    You guys should sit down together and watch some of Kyle Connor's YouTube videos from Out of Spec Reviews. For road tripping, the most efficient and time effective way to drive an EV from A to B is to stop and charge for 15 minutes or so and drive as far as you can go to the next charger...

    The range "loss" between Plaid and LR is negligible. There's far more range loss in your right foot. In real world driving conditions, it's not going to make a bit of difference. You can actually have more fun in the Plaid and use less energy than the LR, trying to have the same fun. This is...

    Yeah, makes perfect sense. I'm not sure there's a need for that kind of frequency though. I think back in the day, there was a lot of weird stuff going on with Tesla's and that kind of verbose logging would help you troubleshoot some things. These days it's more about making sure your car is...

    About 6 months ago, it was either a firmware update or some kind of change to Teslafi, but I had to turn off logging on my P90DL because it was triggering the contactors every 2 minutes. That can't possibly be good for the car, so to be on the safe side, I shut it off. It's been flawless on...

    I think the April mention was clearly a ploy to persuade an inventory sale. There's no correct date here as clearly nobody knows. I'm also not so sure it's a disagreement. For those that have been through any kind of audit by the federal government, there's little room for negotiation or someone...
