It could be speed triggered- mine does arrive after about 60 seconds but this is when I go over 30mph so you might be correct. But before it would do it right after the car starts moving at any speed. Good observation.

You guys wash your cars? Wow. Just kidding. But maybe not :) Are you sure it is not just your parking brake releasing? It always in use when the car comes to a stop or is stopped and is released when the throttle is touched. Maybe yours is a tad lazy/ slow and grabs a bit.

… I would not put spacers on a 6000 pound car. It is asking for catastrophic hub/ stud failure.

At this point I am of the opinion that the vibration is some sort of initialization of some component. I am thinking ABS module or battery coolant pump running at full tilt to get the flow going. Who knows. They did move the routine further into the drive- it used to be at the very beginning of...

They all don’t road force well as they come off the factory. Stiff sidewalls, random/ unmatched (white dot on valves) mounts of tires in relation to the rims from the factory … rough angled half shafts - all contribute to the “gravel in steering wheel” feel at any speed… My local Tesla shop...

You don’t want any X on anything higher than “low”… and ideally you need to be on “very low”… the front half shafts are at a very bad angle and will give out eventually if you drive it on “med” or higher… And yes- the x suspension is … garbage. But at least in the Plaid it has an excuse as any...

I believe on month three I would have forgotten that I left a Tesla for repair and would have fully explored and vetted my loss of use clause with my insurance and/ or business malpractice atty. I have had Italian exotics involved in a serious crashes fixed in about that time frame. Just...

the looks of the ct are growing on the hopeful because of time passed and the stockholm syndrome lolz... "Stockholm syndrome is a coping mechanism to a captive or abusive situation. People develop positive feelings toward their captors or abusers over time." yup- sounds about right :)

almost every heavy vehicle with xl low profile tires i have seen (and i have looked at thousands as cars are my business) with no brand tires had blisters on sidewalls of tires or a bent rim with corresponding blister on the sidewall- mostly on the inside. to me that is a clear indication that...

My experience is that generally no- brand tires for XL applications are a no- no. With those you get exactly what you pay for.

here are some recent manheim numbers for 2022 msp... those are wholesale numbers so add about $500 for auction fees and then add about 10-15% markup for retail. headers didnt copy so 3rd column is mileage 4th column is condition (0-5)- anything over 4.0 is essentially spotless from consumer's...

i believe elon accidently decided to let loose on this planet his intended mode of transportation for mars. the thing looks hideous and no amount of tech and/ or performance will make me buy one. so, no- i would not getting one of those. ... if it is ever made. now the new roadster- that...

... i believe the question op has asked is the wrong question to be asked. the correct question is - 9mm or 45? or maybe you favor more esoteric carry like 10mm? ... sneaking up to me and yelling is certainly one of the more unpleasant ways to get hurt. possibly really hurt. but given the...

op is overthinking it. 9 months? what is this? are you expecting your tesla to give you baby teslas? lol.. you are a better person than me for sure. forget about the car and the repair shop. if the shop gives you hard time include them in the last action item on the list below beat whoever you...

i believe both factors you mentioned are largely irrelevant. hw4 is better than hw3, but the software has not taken advantage of the new hardware yet... and it will take years and my observation is that the typical tesla owner is not a long term owner so by the time hw4 is worth it the typical...
