    What do you use for hard water spots removal?

    The Richmond VA SC told me about Denatured Alcohol and I have some in my wood working shop. I have done the whole truck only once. It takes it down to the metal it does .... water marks ... everything gone and it looks new. To be honest, I am NOT a clean freak. I think it looks good a...

    3000+ Mile Cross Country Road Trip

    Hmmmm Some harsh comments it seems. Me thinks that they doth protest too much! Tey might pull out the long knives if you drove 60 or God forbid 55. When I drive my 1929 Model A Ford, it only goes 50 mph with a tailwind. Most are patient, waive and I Oooooga! But there are those that choose...

    First Drive FSD v13.2.6 disappointing

    I am NOT a fan of it playing chicken. It has done it so many times at tolls. Which, are near perfect now except for the chicken thing. The other day, it ran guy to a stop and would have run him into the divider. Since my wife was not around, I let it go just to see what happened. The guy...

    First Drive FSD v13.2.6 disappointing

    I knew that was an option but since it draws the lines properly on the screen, I did not think calibration would change anything. I will try it though. THANKS!

    First Drive FSD v13.2.6 disappointing

    Argh!!! I am sure this is a dumb question, but if it sees the lines, can’t it be trained to stay in the middle or at least between them? I understand it is no longer rules based, but if they need a video of staying in the lane passing a semi, I can do that! this is a worry. Seems like a...

    3000+ Mile Cross Country Road Trip

    Wait a minute .... 400 wpm and 300ish miles per charge and in 3 hours? Just want to check the math. 300 miles in 3 hours is 100 miles per hour. Maybe 200 miles in 3 hours? That would be 65 x's 3 is 195 and About 90kw or 80% about? Towing our camper, I went much of the same road OUT from VA...

    Cybertruck will have low sales regardless of the price IMHO

    A brother from another mother you are! I was on the waitlist for the 1st PT Cruiser for over a year. I loved it ... then ... after 180,000 miles (manual transmission) a F150 hit me head on at 55 mph. I dusted off the air bag powder, opened my door and walked away. The F150 drinker side front...

    Tesla Insurance now offering 10% discount for owners who use FSD for 50% or more of driving miles

    Well, I was a beta tester way back on version 10 and have used FSD ever since. I live where there may be one other Tesla in our county which only has 2 traffic lights. Probably driven 100,000 miles on FSD and yes, a few sharp intakes of air. But Version 13 is a new day. Yesterday I drove...

    Two things that also help is for all tires fully inflated and invent a fold down center console or at least removable glass!

    Miserable Towing Experience - NEED HELP! (Updated)

    speed, then speed, and watch your speed. After that ... speed. Slower the better. Huge difference between 55 and 60. Over 60 it gets ugly quicker as well. Oh yeah, don't forget about speed.!

    Trip planner - multi day trips

    Look, the worry is real but manageable. We went to Canada, (2,400 miles), Wyoming (5,000 miles) and just got back from Florida (1,800 miles) and the first two trips were towing a camper. I do two things. ABRP is helpful but honestly, the other chargers out there are unreliable and only for...

    Windshield wiper issue

    The two things that can cause streaking are ... 1.) "humped up" blade holder(s) ... the arms that hold the blade on the glass are stuck or sticking and not allowing the blade to follow the slight curve in the range of motion and keep pressure evenly on all 42.5 feet of the wiper blade length...

    Wiper folded in half, scratched hell out of windshield.

    I have never seen a wiper used to shovel snow underneath a palm tree. This video needs to be someplace special.

    4mi/kWh in my FS AWD - Trying to figure out how to do this again?

    Coming back from Florida, I noticed that every other charge it seemed to alternate between way under 500wpm to way over 500wpm. Like 450 and pushing 600. Save direction, same day up I-95. Hmmmmm

    FSD wrong side of road!?!?!?

    this shows something else that bothers me. I will pic it next time. I shows a crazy route short distance and instead of just going straiht, it routes a left, right, right, past the destination, then a U turn back. But it just goes straight! Whaaat!

    FSD wrong side of road!?!?!?

    Winter tires are way way heavier and that kills range, plus it was in the 30”s

    FSD wrong side of road!?!?!?

    And this. I went back to watch to see if the truck crowded the line, maybe a little. Then watch my CT go o the shoulder rumble strips! I disengaged at that point. Same time frame, both sides of my CT with FSD engaged until I pulled it back into the center of the lane.

    Two things happened today. Close call in a blind merge, she never saw me. FSD just backed off and kept going.
