40psi doesn't sound abnormal on track. I've run 200TW summer tires anywhere from 33-40 PSI. You may need some more camber or may need to change your driving style. Next time you're on track find an instructor in a Miata and they'll probably be able to help sort you out. No harm in marking the...

Yeah, people are driving with street pressures on track. Are you having issues on street or on track? Have you marked the sidewalls if you're concerned about it rolling?

Along those lines, have you considered virtual odometers? It'd be nice to either tag or create a trip odometer for tracking different vehicle configurations; e.g. summer vs winter wheels and tires, different tires, different alignment changes

Yeah, I think the difference between $20 and $50 is just noise. The viz has gotten better, but non-FSD vs FSD side by side is glaring. With the new v12 UX the old viz on the full screen is pretty bad!

I went through a similar exercise myself. For me, I think AP is sufficient for more daily duties. For me to subscribe, I think I'd pay at most $25-50/mo and that would solely be for auto-lane change, which I find it hard to stomach since it's not a huge deal to disable and reengage AP. I do...

Consumers are not buying FSD. Tesla has raised prices in the past as a FOMO tactic, but in the end they ended up lowering the price. $8k is a lot of money!

I started with TeslaFi and was happy with it until we picked up another Tesla. Couldn't justify paying for the extra car so I switched to the Tessie lifetime. Been very happy so far.

The fact that you think the cross bars actually contact the glass is telling.

What you have is excellent, but it’s not going to give you a Lexus ride

I wouldn’t pay for fsd but as far as conversion is concerned 2% is a decent rate.

Not enough info to determine the root cause from a single photo.

Are you able to have somebody bounce the front of the car while you listen? Or does it need more load to trigger the noise?

Looks like it's on compression. The car doesn't feel like it's bottoming out or anything? Do you see any rubbing anywhere? What about the backs?

Do you feel anything in your steering wheel? Did it only start manifesting itself after the suspension?

Has no effect for the frunk.

Spring looks OK from those pics! I ask about the fluid noise because the fluid noise has been reported with some aftermarket suspension installs. I can sometimes hear it with my Ohlins. Hard to tell without hearing it. You can always use YouTube to dump videos!

Is it metallic, or liquid? Does it happening only going straight, or only when turning? Could it be a incorrectly seated spring?

They'll get hot in that weather!

Replacing the rear wheel wouldn't affect the steering. Why did you replace it? Did you hit something? If so, that could throw your toe out in front which could result in a weird steering wheel

Unless somebody has a lot of training, it won't. Cars are set to understeer from the factory because it's safer for untrained drivers. And emergency lane change might push, but it'll still change lanes. Totally agree that everybody should attend a basic car control clinic and learn how their...

There's no downside to tire rotations. No idea what's going on overseas though, so I can't speak to that.

He's talking about setting up a car for handling at the performance limit. Nobody should be finding this limit on the street. The real world effect for most owners is just the annoyance of not being able to rotate wheels.

99% of people are not going to notice

You can sell new 21s for about 2k and put that towards a set of aftermarket wheels. You're paying a premium for overpriced TSportline wheels.

somebody is projecting

does the center console wood match in person? the photos make it look different

2k might even be low for a panel

no to 1 and 3. no idea about 2, but they are actively pushing one pedal, max regen for range ratings

Efficiency with new tires is worse until they wear a bit, then should return to "normal"

Shims are the way to go for people who only care about tires

Range loss is a few % difference. It does make noise, sometimes it's more than the tires other times it a lot louder

The X isn't picky, you just hear a lot more in an electric car.

Take measurements, raise car, loosen and adjust in the appropriate direction, lower car, recheck.

That's nuts, but if the numbers make sense. In CA, we're on the hook for the taxes and we can't deduct the trade in. Makes it less appealing to jump around.

why the upgrade? 23-24 is the same car other than the color?

Keep an eye on CL. I paid $450 for 4 curbed 19" with OEM TPMS and hubcabs. Offset is great for the winter too since everything stays in the wheel wells.

Do you not care about any interior/exterior combo? Do you care about acceleration? If no, I'd get the long range. The performance will go through rear tires faster, tires cannot be rotated, has less range and is more inefficient.

Neither. All of this has been throughly discussed in the thread.

tbh, I've never rebuilt a wheel. I've assembled plenty of 3pc, but have no idea what the actual parts costs are. Wonder how much that would cost?

thanks! yeah, I did want bronze, but didn't want to spend the money right now. Maybe next winter? My partner curbed the wheels when they were on the X, so I do need to refinish them anyways. There's plenty of clearance because it's moving the wheel away from the the hub. The spacer width I...

do you have a photo, I can’t picture this?

If you feel you have a perfect car, I would not make any changes. There are lots of small, but annoying issues people are encounterihng with the newer Ys. Do you need the extra range?

Lol, well, I did deduct >100k, so we'll see what they say 😂

Ah makes sense. How'd that convo go with the IRS?

Reporting back, I mounted everything yesterday and the sensors did pair immediately. I had a small leak on the TPMS side, but that's more of a factor of my wheel than the sensor. I snugged down the collar while mounting, but after seating the tire beads the sensor must have shifted. All four...

Efficiency report over a CA winter with OEM 19s, covers, and OEM cross bars:

How much before they started complaining? I recently started a business and have invested heavily in machinery. We generate some income, but definitely not enough to come close to breaking even.

I have a small concern about air leakage due to the diameter of the sensor. It barely seats from the inside and required some finagling to not leak. Everything is pressurized and holding steady, but we'll see. Since I was doing this myself, I used a breaker against the studs and wood to...

I had these on my previous X and had another set of adapters made so I could fit them on the Y. There were some delays with the anodizing so it took a little longer than I would have liked but the timing worked out since it's just starting to warm up. Tires are 255/40Z/20 Continental...

Eh, personally I want to get in the car and drive. Not toggle back and forth in menus to enable/disable things. We like EAP, but we didn't pay $6k since it came with the car. It's not worth $2k either. On the Y we just cancel AP to change lanes, then reengage.
