    Why no FSD (supervised) for those cars stuck on software branch 2024.8.9?

    Glad I found this, my 2022 MS LR is also stuck on 2024.8.9. It's been frustrating, considering all the hype and publicity over V12! I also purchased a month of FSD, kinda expecting to get updated, but have not. No updates offered, I also asked service for an update and they gave me nothing...

    V11.1 to V12

    Wait, why? Isn't this discussing NOT being able to get off V11 onto V12?

    V11.1 to V12

    Yeah I'm also stuck on 2024.8.9 in a 2022 Model S. I've been waiting for FSD V12 and camera-based trunk opening for what seems like forever. Based in Vegas, FSD V11 is basically undriveable except on freeways. I bought the subscription and it's woeful. I've not been able to drive further than...

    Plaid 21” rear tire woes - factory defect?

    Camber, Toe AND tire pressure all matter. The car is very sensitive. This happens when you have a commoditized >1000HP >2-ton car. Someone else raised the fact that geometry changes under load, which is bang-on-point. So yeah, your results may vary depending on how you drive, and the condition...

    2024.2.2.1 bugs - All screens dead (2022 Model S)

    Ah yes, but you can't regress! You can only accept an already-available FW. (Please correct me if I'm wrong!) Anyway, after scrollwheel resetting, it's been stable, but I've never had this issue before. Not sure what it was, good to know yours hasn't done it. Still, looking forward to the next...

    BYD Battery Emulator software allows using complete Tesla 3/Y packs with 400V inverters for solar storage

    This is super interesting. I'm just now wanting to upgrade my home solar and add storage!

    Sold 2022.5 Model S Plaid White/White w/FSD

    Sweet ride, And shout-out for the awesome round steering wheel! This is a sweet deal, I just bought a near identical LR without FSD in September for about the same money. (I'd be at your door right now if I hadn't!) GLWS!

    2024.2.2.1 bugs - All screens dead (2022 Model S)

    Hey all, 2022 Model S LR, I updated to 2024.2.2.1 two days ago. All was fine out of the box, car worked fine, but as of this morning all screens are dead including the instrument cluster. I can drive the car off the back-up PRAND touch buttons below the phone holders but this is obviously not...

    😅 Thanks, I'll remember that when the time comes!

    2021 Plaid - Here we go again! SSDD and tires...

    Then admittedly that's a worry... Camber, toe, tire pressure, if those three things are in spec, you should not have an issue. Are you watching the alignment results? The limits can be... liberal... Also Maybe there's a dynamic effect going on - Any chance of a worn bush or something? It...

    Plaids with 20" tires AND rear inner tire wear?

    NOT rotating tires reduces their wear life significantly. This is due to treadblock "feathering" - uneven wear on the tread blocks themselves. Please don't suggest this to people without acknowledging this fact - then they can decide if they still want to do it or not. Also rotating tires is...

    2021 Plaid - Here we go again! SSDD and tires...

    Tire pressure has a massive effect on wear that most people just ignore. I'd be willing to bet that most people who are having issues with fast PS4S wear on the current gen (21+) Model S's don't watch their pressures. I'd further bet we're going to see a lot of these now, as the temperatures...

    Plaid front wheels break traction in tight turn into garage

    Yeah others already answered the "why" above correctly (aggressive ackermann with cold UHP summer tires = skipping). Getting off summer tires in the cold weather and switching to basically any tire more suited to the lower temperatures will help a lot. Think about compliance, you want your...

    '23 Plaid brake upgrade is 'higher thermal brake pads'

    19-vs-20, I mean it'll also depend a lot on the tires, but generally 19 will be best for ride, 21 worst, and 20 will sit in-between. Consider 21's are for looks more than anything else. Yeah they carry a stickier compound from factory, but it's by no accident that the track pack uses 20" rims...

    Plug and play carbon ceramic rotors without big brake upgrade?

    Also curious, how does one "manufacture my own set of CCBs"? Do you have access to a ceramics foundry? If yes, please PM me! :D

    Plug and play carbon ceramic rotors without big brake upgrade?

    This is not necessarily a bad idea! But what's your expectation for better "performance"? If "performance" means stopping distance or decel, that's ABS and really nothing to do with brake hardware, so just go get wider/stickier tires. If "performance" means brake thermal performance, then...

    '23 Plaid brake upgrade is 'higher thermal brake pads'

    Best option - (obvious) Tesla's carbon ceramic brake package. At 15k, it is a comparative BARGAIN, and absolute killer performance. Also don't believe the bs about not tracking carbon ceramics. Maybe this was an issue 30 years ago, but is a non-event today. Track away happily, I doubt anyone...

    Plaid: retrofit rear brake caliper

    The don't fit. Like literally every dimension is completely different. You might as well try fit Camry brakes. (**Please don't try to fit Camry brakes). Also, why? In addition, the old system is completely different (smaller) sizing. So yes, if you want worse brakes from every concievable...

    Advice Needed. Any Classic Model X (or S) Brake Experts Out there?

    Late response, but you are SPOT-ON with your part concerns. I would NOT proceed with that order. It's looking pretty stupid. Left vs right should be similar numbers - USUALLY** (not always) differing in the last digit before the first dash, just like you point out. Sometimes there can be...

    Alternative, DIY refresh Model X rear camber correction

    Please compensate for the bolt thread length if you're doing this! I don't know what the thread engagement is on those but Tesla runs pretty tight on some (especially when they're not expecting these types of mods). Same goes for standard wheelstuds often being too short on some aftermarket...

    2023 Plaid - Wheel and Tire questions

    You actually did further up, my bad :/ I gotta say, that's probably the best looking Model S I've ever seen. Those wheels (and the brakes behind them) are just perfect! Great move on the square fit too, not surprised it'd give the car a bit better balance. What rim width and offset did you...

    2023 Plaid - Wheel and Tire questions

    Yeah Conti DWS06 PLUS (the plus is important, they had a major update last year) are awesome; also Michelin Crossclimates are a great competitor - they're stunning in snow for an All-Season (*ran on an X5, not Tesla :/ ). The Crossclimates are supposed to rate real well on efficiency too...
