Our S and 3 certainly had the largest drop in battery capacity upfront then slowed considerably to a very slow degrade. Our 3 has less range but is doing well with the original battery. My S had a battery replacement at about 108k miles, but i had 18 months where every charge I did was at a...
please let us know how this goes.
Would love to hear about how it works out. I’m lazy though and didn’t do the math after looking at the stats on the website so not sure how to convert all the numbers they listed on specs to max kW it can handle. I saw that it will cut out if it overheats...
Early stages. But there are several companies with big breake kits now so i may get one of those and then just do a simply diy caliper paint job and order a custom decal over it before installation to keep things simple.

So happy you posted this!
looks awesome. Compared to what t sportline offers (love those guys and their products but some of their custom services are just so crazy expensive and not everyone has that kind of money) this is much cheaper as a DIY and if you tape it off meticulously it’s actually...
First of all, strong work. Looks great. Appreciate very much you posting all the details—yes I read them and will re-read them despite those (Ahem Jack27, lol) that say i would need an award for doing so. I’ll decline the award—and the deets matter for those obsessed with sound. Some won’t...
I almost never say never. I’m certainly not holding my breath though, lol. Materials advance as science advances. 100 years from now they will have things that would seem like magic today if the curve of innovation continues to exponentially improve. So maybe not in my lifetime, but my...
My use case scenario is about 90%-95% street where I would love to drive (*ahem*) politely aggressively... so lowering rather than raising makes more sense most of the time, and a wider wheel base could possibly increase stability in cornering, and some kind of aero front bumper to funnel air to...
Have I missed the obvious big picture advantage for long term game discussion of induction charging here?
To me, stationary induction charging is pretty useless for non-autonomous charging scenarios.
The holy grail is induction charging while driving on electrified highways so your vehicle...
I sometimes like widebody kits.
this particular wide body kit looks like lego and tesla did a collab and then scrapped the project before coming to market because this was the result. I think this looks truly awful. I had high hopes when i saw the thread title but for me this is a hard pass...
sorry to tell you this, but this has been the case with any tire brand worth driving on with my Model S for 11 years. I don’t think it will prove to be a manufacturing defect. I think heavy vehicles with insane torque chew through tires if they are soft enough to have safe traction. Yes that...
I was born in Pittsburgh, PA.
My aunt has a lake house (kind of outside Beckley at Flat Top Lake) in WV. Both of my parents graduated from WVU. My father is from Clarksburg, and his father worked for Union Carbide. My mother is from outside Charleston in an area that in times long gone was...
Thanks a ton for this post.
AND… I think you may have left out the most important detail of your setup:
How is the flux capacitor working out modded from a DeLorean to a CT/CB and how well does it run on solar as opposed to plutonium or a mister fusion?
cheers
I was thinking of putting the LT3s on my CT once i get it as a spare set of the T Sportline 20” cybersteelie TCS for winter use when I go on ski trips and the like as I rarely have use for true winter tires in the Silicon Valley area but I don’t think I would be confident in winter driving...
Only if Hari Seldon approves at the next scheduled vault opening. ???
I still think the Mule reveal in Foundation and Empire was one of the best plot twists ever.
Great post.
Cheers
Agree Pirellis are overpriced junk. The only set of tires I ever replaced on my MS after 200 mi were Pirelli brand and I will never buy them again as I thought they were straight up unsafe and unfit for road use. Others seem to like them but their lack of traction on dry mountain roads scared...
For those that have only tried Blizzaks and are not familiar with Nokian winter tires.. consider that the Nokians are designed in Finland. Back when I lived in Pennsylvania with routine driving to Ohio with lake effect snow near Cleveland and back to Pittsburgh then up to Massachusetts with...
