  1. PowerShare backup smoking

    I'm not sure why your certified installer isn't on the phone with you calling Tesla. When I had my issues with damaged units, my installer called in and we were both there to answer Tesla's questions and get things resolved.
  2. Just checked tire wear, rear passenger so low😑

    That really doesn't look to be even a 2/32nds difference. 2nd pic is just barely above the wear mark and 1st pic shows some, although very little tread. Power is always going to end up at one wheel before traction control kicks in. I'm assuming you never rotated the tires? That would have...
  3. Aftermarket Video Rear Mirror -- suggestions / advice?

    It's sloppy, I just have 2 USB C cables (the other is my radar detector) trailing down to my console, plugged into a USB C power brick. I'm sure I could route long enough USB C cables through the headliner and down into the console but I keep hoping for a better solution.
  4. Aftermarket Video Rear Mirror -- suggestions / advice?

    My problem with the factory option is that it's too small on the left side of the screen and while a little larger on the right, I'm not happy with the position. At night, brightness on the screen dims, making it even harder to see what's behind you. My Wolfbox mirror is larger, closer to my...
  5. FSD going subscription only (one-time purchase no longer available after Feb 14)

    Curious what you base this statement on? Tesla has already upgraded the autopilot hardware in prior models. My 2016 Model X P100D with AP2 was upgraded to the HW3 computer and new cameras in order to run the same FSD stack that HW3 vehicles are running. While Tesla doesn't have a currently...
  6. FSD going subscription only (one-time purchase no longer available after Feb 14)

    I've never seen any documented case where Tesla's policy was inconsistent. When Tesla takes possession of a vehicle with FSD, they can remove it. Just like I could decide to remove a full-sized spare from my vehicle before I trade it in or Tesla could choose to remove the full-sized spare...
  7. Confused with charging AMPS

    Most publicly available level 2 charging (parking garage, business, etc) will be 208V because commercial 3 phase power is 120/208V, unlike residential split phase 120/240V.
  8. Got a flat and had to replace tire. What next?

    You mention mileage on the remaining 3, but not tread. If the remaining 3 tires are around 7/32nds, I'd put 2 new tires on the rear, the 2 best on the front and keep that 3rd tire as a spare. If they're all around 3-4/32nds I'd just replace all 4. There's no center diff, so no need to replace...
  9. Rear Emergency Door Release Identifier (3D Print)

    Yeah, CF or glass reinforced nylon is my usual go to. All my nylon was black though, so I went to PC so I could at least mix 2 different colors, black and transparent. I'm thinking I may redo them in ASA, once I order a spool of red. I've used PETG for interior parts and cabin temps are...
  10. Rear Emergency Door Release Identifier (3D Print)

    I printed them out in polycarbonate. Be interested in how PETG holds up in summer temps.
  11. Realistic timeline for the sale of Optimus to consumers.

    And it should be a real deposit, not $100 like the Cybertruck. Had to put $1k down on the Model 3 (which was supposed to begin at $35k and ended up at $49k for early reservation holders). It wasn't the delays, increased price or vehicle changes that bothered me about the CT, it was the low...
  12. Excessive Tire Wear on Cybertruck Dual Motor

    You should get the alignment checked, that's obviously not normal.
  13. Realistic timeline for the sale of Optimus to consumers.

    No way, driver's seat or die...
  14. Tonneau cover leaks

    Hah, that's exactly what I used, but on the underside. I added the weather strip, to cut most of the water ingress, but I have the wire for my camera up there that needed to be held up and out of the way of the tonneau. So a nice long piece of flex tape not a single drop of water makes it into...
  15. Early turn signals on FSD

    I always thought it was 100' before turn or 200' if the speed is 45mph or more. At 45mph, 200' is only 3 seconds before the turn (obviously somewhat more since you're going to slow down). Because I know people are impatient beasts, I usually delay signaling before a cross street or driveway...
