I have done 4 0r 5 200 to 500 mile trips. It seems like I always arrive with less % charge then projected (maybe 5% less on average). I do drive over the speed limit, maybe 10 over on freeways. Does Tesla take into account driving habits when projecting power usage? Can you adjust consumption...

I think the brake question depends on the use case. Brake feel is subjective and not tied to performance usually. For track driving, there are a ton of variables, repeated stops at high brake temps being the number one concern to avoid fade. Saving weight is easier to get from rim changes. On...

.3 seems like a lot of toe in, .10 to .15 should be enough, the suspension does n't move enough to cause toe out from these settings. The floating you feel likely has to do with rebound control in the shocks, try advanced setting at max sport, that should help.

In my opinion, -1.3 is still too much negative camber, and .05, I am assuming that is toe in, is also not enough. if its toe out, that will cause inner edge tire wear. -.5 camber and .10 toe in would likely fix the problem.

I agree with this statement. On acceleration, the car will naturally gain negative camber and toe out more. The advantage of more toe out is better turn in, and more negative camber will give it more cornering grip. Both of these are advantages at the limit of the car on a road course race...

Go full soft in advanced settings, and lower tire pressues to 38-39, it will ride better. I would also go full or almost full sport to keep is from floating after bumps as much.

I run the stock 19s on my plaid without the hub caps, I like the look, although 20's and 21's do look better. i don't want it any stiffer so will stay with the 19's, running 38 psi for best ride, almost full comfort, but full sport in advanced. It still has good enough turn in and grip for the...

I agree with these alignment specs, you don't want toe out. On a road course, a little toe out in front will make the car initially turn in quicker in the corner, I used to run 1/16 to 1/8th out on shorter road courses in race cars, but this will wear the front tires more on the street. In the...

On the How can it stop faster on the street with the same tires on cold brakes? Once the brakes are hot, 4 or more high speed stops, I can see the car stopping faster versus over heated stock brakes.

When and where is the improvement?

This is true. I also think but don't know for sure if the stock brakes work better when ice cold then the track pack brakes. With the track pack, will the ABS engage instantly at 100 mph when ice cold? The use case for me and most others I would think anyway, is driving around and using...

I agree, If you want the plaid to stop faster with cold stock brakes you need a stickier tire or less weight, I can easily get into the ABS at 100+ mph 3 times in a row (in Mexico of course). I would suspect, but I don't know for sure, that the big brake kit from tesla would be slower to stop...

I had read about the brakes on the Plaid before I got one. Ice cold brakes can get ABS working at 100+ stops, the limit of stopping is traction not brakes. They are good for 2 to 3 stops in a row at high speeds, after that they might fade. Even doing that on the street is high risk and you...

I can get the ABS to engage instantly at 100+ mph on stock brake pads, until the pads overheat after repeated stops, better brakes wont stop the Plaid any faster, but stickier tires would indeed.

I agree, I think the stock pads are best for street use. I drive around and hardly use the brakes at all, rely on regenerative braking. Then at a light or from a roll, you wind up next to a Z06 or other performance car. If you go for it, 70 mph+ as we all know happens in no time at all. You then...
