    Show off your aftermarket wheels.

    So to my naked eye it's not as uneven as I previously thought. I'm hella nervous about running it this low though and it could be in my mind, but I swear I can hear some occasional rubbing, though I'm not seeing any evidence of that on my tires or within the fender area/wheel wells.

    Show off your aftermarket wheels.

    I was afraid I got that wrong. Thankfully, the front links appear to be more easily reached/adjusted while on the car. If anyone has tips on adjusting while on the car, would welcome that info or a link to a Youtube video if one is out there. So far all I've been able to find are videos of...

    Will try and get some photos up this weekend.

    For those of you running N2itive lowering links, can you post your height settings when you post pics of your setup please. I had mine installed yesterday. I went -5 on the rear and -4 on the front and the front still sits lower than the rear at rest and might be a little too low overall...

    Plaid 21” rear tire woes - factory defect?

    Probably not enough miles to form a definitive conclusion yet, but at about 1500-2000 miles I installed the N2itive components. I'm now at 16,000 miles spread across my original 21" wheel/tire setup and my 20" Signature Wheels summer setup, both on Michelin tires. I had the N2itive lowering...

    Tire Rotation

    Rotations are good practice. May or may not make a significant difference, but in most cases will be beneficial. As others have mentioned, if the tire is NOT DIRECTIONAL, rotate them left/right at the manufacturer's recommended interval to ensure even wear. If my tires were directional then I...

    Good Riddance: The '22 Tesla Model S Plaid Saga Comes to an End

    Mine has been primarily trouble-free, but my neighbour with the exact same car down to the color has already had to return his for a new one due to some sort of suspension issue that, according to him, felt like a wheel was about to fall off every time he drove the thing. I'm sure I've said...

    Vendor Teslaunch Model X/S Gear Shift Stalk Switch Turn Signal Lever Kit🚀GIVEAWAY!

    Every airbag removal video for the car tracks with theirs. Pop it out, unplug the harness and done. Watched the Tesla mobile dude do the same with my Yoke when he switched me over to a round wheel. The programming involved after he was done was purely to update the icons in the software to...

    Show off your aftermarket wheels.

    I haven't noticed any issues in steering effort going from the factory 265/35/21s to my 285 square setup. In fact, other than the significantly reduced unsprung weight, probably the only noticeable difference for me has been slightly less understeer, which I consider a positive development...

    285/35ZR-20 MICHELIN PILOT SPORT 4S XL on my 20x10 ET 32 Signature Wheels per Jaime's recommendation.

    Vendor Teslaunch Model X/S Gear Shift Stalk Switch Turn Signal Lever Kit🚀GIVEAWAY!

    I'm deployed - otherwise I'd jump all over this and try it. Install looks a little involved, but not too bad. Would have rather have had turn signals on left stalk, wiper control on right as this is my first Tesla and the stalk drive controls would be just as foreign to me as swiping up and...

    Tesla offered to replace my yoke with round wheel

    If driving the car is more important to you than the novelty look factor of the Yoke and perhaps better visibility of the dash, get the round wheel. I paid $700 for the privilege and my ability to drive the car at all speeds and actually utilize the full capability of the car increased...

    Tesla drops prices on X/S $20k. All colors free. Bye bye resale

    Agreed. I'm not terribly out of pocket if I made a move for the new seats/mech horn, etc., but my car appears to have been put together reasonably well. I'd walk away from the full XPel wrap I just installed a year ago, but that was going to happen eventually, but I don't know that it's worth...

    Tesla drops prices on X/S $20k. All colors free. Bye bye resale

    For sharts and giggles I checked to see what Tesla would give me on a trade-in. My MSP is an Aug 2022 build with 15k miles. $66k was the offer. Paid about $115k a year ago.

    Tesla drops prices on X/S $20k. All colors free. Bye bye resale

    So I do have a weird observation, although perhaps this was just a case of the insurance coverage. My father-in-law is the first Tesla owner in the family and he purchased a used Model X several years ago. May have been a demo model, but he paid about $90k for it at the time. I think 2018/2019...
