Yeah, I think my situation was that the mechanics and repair manager got “bad feels” about what they perceived as under-engineered bolts. But, of course, they’re not engineers. I’m inclined to believe that Tesla engineers included appropriate specs and saftey margins, but the local team flat...

Funny. I just had the exact experience. At Tesla's Rocklin (near Roseville / Sacramento area), I dropped off on Wed and they said end of day, then "waiting for parts" then due Friday. Then I get a call. They said "the service manager is not confident in the sturdiness of the design. He...

Rocklin, CA. Near Roseville

PSA: I had lightbar installed at service center yesterday. I found this thread for tutorial on how to finish wiring, but discovered that Tesla had fully installed/wired it. I just pealed off the black plastic, ticked the “turn on roof power” and it said “light bar ready” (or something to that...

I do a lot of driving in “Mexico” and the beast is very happy to cruise at 90-100 MPH. Feels very stable— like a luxury sedan. No issues whatsoever apart from terrible efficiency.

I fixed my dust problem using a different approach. I used a self-adhesive rubber weather seal strip (the kind that is a hollow dome shape) and attached it to the tailgate (see pics). Downside is that you could rip it off by sliding items in and out of bed (but this has not been an issue for...

I have this unit and it works well. Takes 10-12 mins to fill all four from ~30 to ~50PSI. Gets incredibly hot after doing this, but doesn’t complain. If space allows, I also bring a reservoir tank which allows compressor to run constantly as you proceed from tire to tire (yes, I have a 4-way...

Someone reported that using 15-50R four-way break out adapter (use 240V CT bed plug to give you four extra 120V plugs) solved his problem of overloading the 120V outlets. May give that a try? https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-Distribution-14-50P-Household-Protection/dp/B09P398XMP/

Looks interesting. I'd like to see pics/analysis that show departure angle not reduced. Also, how fast/easy it is to remove the battery pack from frunk? Would like to see picks with power unit in place and then removed (leaving behind whatever mount plates/etc for fast re-install). The...

I’m having exact issue. Used service mode to re-calibrate and it works for a day or two, then problem recurs. Not worth a service appointment for this alone, but will mention next time I go for service for something else. I will tell them to please not *just* do the auto re-callibrate. I...

I assume they can’t do the final install step of wiring it is due to regulatory and liability issues. AFAIK, at least in CA, you can’t drive on public roads with OffRoad lights unless they are physically covered. So the CT+OEM Lightbar would not be road legal. Maybe they were hoping to get...

After seeing many reviews, I was actually happy to see the “Out of Stock until Jan 2025” message, since I assumed (hoped?) that they would be making some design tweaks for the next production run. I also was surprised to see it pop up as available yesterday. So who knows. I’m hoping for an...

I read elsewhere that the Tesla light bar only works in Off-road modes and is linked to high beams by default. I’m curious if true.

I wonder if the other trucks were also on Mud Terrains? I assume that makes a difference versus the stock A/T tires

Instead of suing them, maybe Tesla could simply release a CCS adapter that actually fits. I bought the EVJect to have backup access to CCS chargers on road trips. I’m glad they are (under duress) doing the recall swap.

Sorry if mentioned up thread, but is wear even between inside edge and outside edge? I torched rears in my Plaid in 8K miles because the stock alignment has a bit of camber dialed-in for performance (and I really like the Plaid animation). Downside is that you cord the insides pretty fast...

Yeah, well no sonar pucks— just cameras. Others have speculated that they aren’t yet using front camera, which seems crazy and yet plausible.

It’s terrible. Better than nothing, but I am hopeful that it will dramatically improve over time. Handy as an early warning alarm, but not to be trusted.

Random idea: get a 14-50P to 110V adapter (usually provides four plugs). My assumption is that this will give you a 110V connection with a 25A breaker (one leg of the 50A total)— perhaps giving you enough headroom to start up your hairdryer. Another thought is to start your hairdryer with heat...
