after a couple decades of building mod class pocket rockets for scca pro solo autocross Iāve developed some sensitivity to flexing in chassis. It never really bothered me in the stock configuration but there is a significant improvement with the ta kit.
The other thing that I noticed is the...
Here is the text response when I inquired āwhy?ā
āPart availability,ā could mean it shipped with the wrong parts to properly install. At least that would be my guessā¦
In my case they had to replace the rear skid plate since itās different on newer builds that the kit was designed for. (Iām a...
It looks ok to me fwiw.
the thing that shouldnāt have surprised me given my auto cross background, but did is how much the rigidity of the chassis improved after getting it installed. The truck handles a lot better now.

The thing about Tesla updates that I think is the most confusing for people is they not only do phased rollouts but not all suffix branches will be relevant for your truck. Tesla will iterate multiple times as they ramp up a production line, including changing components. So even tho there is a...
this is a sizeable update with 41 systems getting new code. Also potentially notable but it seems the autopilot image is now over 2GB looks like things are getting staged now.
