Yeah they became a thing with the 23 model year. You don’t. It’s been standard on plaids since 2023 model year. So 2022 would not have it.

The red calipers are standard on the Plaid

That’s what I have and I love it. Very classy looking. However, with the silver color, I’d go with the black interior.

I cross shopped, I test drove a Taycan turbo, Taycan GTS and a BMW i7 Loved them all, each one had its own thing that I loved. The turbo and gts handled so well through the twisty roads, the fit and finish was perfect and I loved the suede interior. The i7 was what I imagine a rolls Royce to...

I will not stand by as you disparage the good name of Bayerische Motoren Werke, and when I’m done cleaning up yet another oil leak off my driveway, I’ll tell you exactly why you’re wrong! “Duped” “defrauded” lol. Just come right out and say you have a personal beef with musk. I’m far from a...

Why did you throw the shims away? Did it not correct the issue?

From post #67 You can see the edges severely worn, I don’t think that happens overnight.

Swapped out the stock 21in wheels for the 20in Martian wheels Looks way better than I expected. I also decided not to install the Macsboost shims yet, when I got the stock wheels off, there’s was absolutely no irregular wear on the edges. The tires look perfect after 4.3k miles

I thought the button turn signals was going to annoy the heck out of me but as a former/current bmw driver, I can honestly say it didn’t take long for me to learn to not use them. /s

Didn’t the headlight/tail light revision happen in March 2022? The UR was 2023 I’d say go for it now, you like the car, you like what it offers, why wait.

Well then it’s settled I’ll do the alignment.

I understand what you’re saying but according to the manufacturer, the shims are just thick enough to not cause over correction. I’ll take the risk and listen to them. If I’m wrong I’ll definitely report back as well as let the manufacturer know so that they don’t false advertise.

I don’t believe it’s necessary so I won’t, but if it feels like I’m having an alignment issue or seeing irregular wear then I’ll do it and contact macsboost and let them know about it

Contacted a few shops regarding having the macsboost shims installed, none are reasonable and the worst one is a shop that’s charging 1.5 hours of labor per side and they want to do an alignment which is not necessary according to the instructions. So I’m just gonna install it myself and save...

No they don’t, nor are they at full production capacity. If they were the price wouldn’t be what it currently is, it would be what it was when the refresh first came out.

This thread has now turned goofy, and with that I’m out. @mswlogo just my final 2 cents, I would stick with Tesla, at least for now. In a few years when more automakers adopt teslas charging standard, I think that’s when you’re really going to see some serious MS competitors. If the bmw i7...

My mistake, I wasn’t clear I meant most of the ones who cover their face.

Not a rant, sorry I used too many words for your liking. Also I said it earlier, I hate the government overall, both sides. Don’t care if you vote blue or red. And you’re right, people should purchase products based on the product, don’t let corporations emotionally manipulate you into buying...

Why do you think it won’t exist in 2 years? I haven’t seen anything to corroborate that. Maybe it won’t, I hope it does, it’s the only Tesla I like. But why worry and why jump ship so early. I don’t have to tell you about the alternatives on the market, I’m sure you’re well aware of what’s out...

Most of those protestors are paid to be there, they CANT have open discussion because they don’t truly hold an opinion on the issue, they’re just there to collect a paycheck. I always assume Anyone wearing a mask and hiding their identity at a protest is being paid to be there. They don’t want...

Getting parts has always been a crapshoot. In 2015 after an accident, my car was in the shop for 3 months waiting for a hood. Many people waited months for parts and this was back when Elon was every liberals wet dream. Elon Musk aside, if the model s/x is no longer good enough for you, if it...

What did Tesla stand for that he killed? Tesla was in the business of making electric cars, they still do. Elon wanted EVs to become mainstream… and they’ve basically accomplished that task.

He promised to give billions to end world hunger if the organization could prove that it would. They never did, and so he didn’t. Because he knew it was BS, one time donation of a few billion will not end world hunger. You knew that, yet you still twisted the facts to fit your narrative. You...

The car must have sold because the link just takes me to the used car list. No specific vehicle. Having said that, personally I’d choose a lightly used model s over a new y every time.

For it to be abandoned, Tesla would have had to be working on it. Is there any evidence that Tesla was working on it besides the completely made up claims backed by “trust me bro” sources?

From what a service advisor once told me, the trade in amount was not set by them but rather what the auction was paying them. Tesla didn’t keep the used non Tesla vehicles, they sent them straight to the auction. Maybe the reason for the trade in adjustment is coming from the auction...

I wanted the 19s but the inventory model they offered came with 21s A month later I’ve got a few dings on the wheels and I deal with 0 curbs. Can’t wait to swap them out for 19s or 20s

Correct

Never driven a model 3 before.

I gave up, it was too strange. Initially they said the vehicle was at a service center a hundred miles away. After many delivery attempts I offered to just take delivery at that location, I had no problem driving an hour and a half to pick it up if Tesla was having trouble finding a shipping...

That’s funny because a few years ago I went through the exact same situation. Delivery appointment rescheduled 5 times, one of those times was the same day. They couldn’t get the car shipped from a service center a 100 miles away. I offered to go there and take delivery but they refused that...

I’ve test driven a plaid and bought the long range, I now wish I went with the plaid. The acceleration on the plaid is just next level.

Received the camber kit. Going to have it installed this week. Just need to find a shop in the DFW area that will do it.

Every car is a ticking time bomb if it’s being used. The question is what’s going to fail and who’s going to pick up the tab. If you’re extremely nervous about it breaking down, sell it, get some money out of it and upgrade to a newer one.

After a few thousand miles I can feel the vibration in the 40-50 mph range, with the 21in wheels being as stiff as they are, it doesn’t really bother me as I can already feel all the other imperfections in the road. No vibration in the 80mph range and that was my biggest concern. So far I’m...

Walmart is the perfect customer, their distribution centers are everywhere and their trucks usually dont go too far.

There’s no need for insults, in a different thread it was pointed out to him that many people did not want to nor could they afford to pay a premium to purchase an EV and he said people shouldn’t care about spending money, they should care about helping the environment. So I’m simply extending...

Take it easy! He’s driving a 70k luxury vehicle.. I think the man has sacrificed enough for humanity!

Take delivery of an ultra red plaid and swap it with me for the M5. Won’t you think of the future generation? Don’t you want to leave a better planet for them? Or are you just interested in hoarding money? I wish you cared more about our planet! Pm me and we’ll discuss the trade in private

He’s trolling, that’s a copy paste he’s used for years. In reality he’s not about that life, I’ve offered him my v10 M5 in exchange for a plaid and he’s ignored it everytime. He said people shouldn’t worry about the monetary cost, and that he upgrades his Tesla every year so clearly money is...

Crazy fast order processing. Already shipped. Hopefully it comes in early next week so I can get it installed asap

I stand corrected. I thought the model s had a 2k pound tow limit with 200 pounds on the tongue.

That’s a Lotus Elise

If I’m not mistaken that tow hitch was really meant for a bike rack.

Thank you. Just ordered the MacBoost camber kit.

Mind sharing which camber arms those would be? My LR has the 21in wheels and I’d like to make sure the tires last as long as possible

That would be an ideal solution, protects teslas supercharger reputation and sets more realistic expectations for users. I’ve watched pretty much all of outofspec YouTube cannonball race videos and the amount of EA network chargers that were just non operational for one reason or another is why...

That may not be, but the reason for it is comparable. They’re not selling as many cars, not making as much money, so they’re laying off employees. I’m a pessimist through and through and even I don’t consider this “chaos” Chaos to me would be if Tesla started closing service centers and...
