Can I come visit?

My beast has always whined around 40mph with light thrittle. I thought it was the forward inverter. Not a big deal but noticeable with no music. It sure doesn’t have that ridiculous beeping noise!

I don’t carry passengers that much but when I do, I either brief them or often I just roll down their windows a couple inches as I’m stopping.

No, it didn’t get him fired. It did get him noticed and he did leave not long after. Years later he has returned to SpaceX so he obviously wasn’t blacklisted. But I thought it was a good story. I’m not sure what he expected but it wasn’t an immediate reply from Elon.

I had a coworker that used to work at SpaceX. He happened to be online at 1:30 am when Elon sent a company-wide email offering something like $1500 credit for any employees that bought a Tesla in the next 24 hours. So without much thought my buddy sends a reply “does this apply for leases?” and...

Unfortunately it appears to be per vehicle

I went back and forth on whether I liked the look of the AT wheel covers or not and decided to use them to at least try them out. It took a few weeks before deciding they were not worth the hassle of taking them off for off roading or automatic car washes or going back to find them afterwards...

For nearly the entire time I’ve had my truck I had a rattle at around 75mph that would go away if I pushed slightly on the A pillar trim. I mentioned it when I got new tires a couple of weeks ago and they surprised me by taking the trim off and finding a wire that was rubbing. All quiet now.

Think what you could do with your truck in the driveway. The tree could be Karen’ing it, flipping it off, and shooting at it. Then the CT could do the holiday light show and bring world peace…

Ok, I know this has to be one of you bastards.

Yes, I’ve always wondered why we can’t have both together. I hate not knowing what’s going on directly behind me just because I’m signaling. Sometimes I’ll push the camera button to force the display but then you lose the red highlight blind spot detections.

I know every time my CT backs up I’m putting on my reading glasses and staring at the pillar side camera displays. I took my side mirrors off a year ago because I realized I only used them to ensure I didn’t hit them.

I’m right at 4/32” tread on my original Goodyear ATs after 43,000 miles. Getting a set of Pirellis on Thursday.

Yeah, thankfully I don’t have that problem. My Beast is unique and I sure don’t want anybody else having a fender bender because they haven’t learned the sensors and scan.

I went with the full mirror delete nearly a year ago and have never looked back. Once you learn the scan and use the OEM sensors, it’s just superior. And safer. IMO 3rd party add-one just complicate things and detract.

At no charge, too

A friend had a 2020 Model-X battery suddenly fail. It was completely replaced within 5 days with one with better specs.

Meh, I’ll save the $$ now and when the day comes that justifies battery replacement, I’ll buy a new (and likely upgraded) one.

I took mine to 132 mph five times a couple weeks ago. I did notice a bit of wind noise and the cantrails were buzzing.

I have 41,000 on my ATs. Rotated them at 6,500, then at 40,000. I think a lot of people get unnecessary wear by doing hard scrubbing turns on rough surfaces while parking. I stopped using auto park because it did that so much.
