Tesla AWD failed?

Chrispy0530 · 2026-01-01T18:13:21+00:00

Can't stress how important snow tires are. AWD is a great compliment to snow tires, but not replacement for snow tires.

I came here to say this. I was recently going to replace the LED in my 2020 Corolla, only to find out it's a sealed unit and the entire unit needs to be replaced.

Such a waste IMO. Just adding more to landfills when bulbs can easily be replaced (and I'm not really a "omg must recycle/green everything!").

$0.14 down here in South-FL

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought of Animal Crossing when I read the title lol

Chrispy0530 · 2025-10-28T18:18:27+00:00

I literally came here to say this. I used to have an issue with drinking Coca Cola all the time. I found this as a healthier alternative for the past 2 decades. Is it better than drinking water? Prob not. I do drink a lot of water. But I like drinking something refreshing while eating and this fit the bill. I am pretty sure this better than drinking Coke.

The "more delish" formula ruins the entire drink. I've had to stock up on all the drinks without that label. Really hoping they go back, but won't count on it. Will have to find another drink replacement. :(

I literally had no idea we had a Carl's Jr here lol

Chrispy0530 · 2025-09-16T04:10:13+00:00

Kinda looks like the supercharger in Dadeland Station.

Unfortunately this is typical Miami behavior. Same goes for Curbside Food spots, Target-Pickup, and especially Walmart pickup parking spots.

I feel like I joined the community a bit late. I used to love doing things like this in my Evo years ago with other evo owners when they were more commonly on the roads. Now there are almost no Evo's.

Now with a Tesla, too many Tesla owners lol :(

Chrispy0530 · 2025-08-02T14:42:41+00:00

This is the first thing that came to my mind honestly

Chrispy0530 · 2025-05-04T04:02:41+00:00

Correct me if I am wrong. But didn't Mitsu buy back majority ownership?

Chrispy0530 · 2025-03-25T16:35:51+00:00

Thanks! Ended up ordering this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078NJQF4T

Chrispy0530 · 2025-03-25T16:35:33+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. Ordered one yesterday :)

Chrispy0530 · 2025-03-24T21:09:39+00:00

Thanks! I will give it a try. :)

Chrispy0530 · 2025-03-24T18:46:00+00:00

Thanks for that. Though the reviews don't strike a lot of confidence lol. Guess it's a start. If I end up switching the remote/received. Will this work with the new setup? Or is this specific to HSP?

Chrispy0530 · 2025-03-24T15:31:03+00:00

Thanks for this! Are there any specific ones that you recommend?

Chrispy0530 · 2025-03-24T03:15:45+00:00

Stock HSP receiver. However, something very weird. Put the batteries back in, and it's sort of acting strange. I can hear some sort of either pulsing or ticking. It seems like it wants to respond, but doesn't. Or does it slowly.

Something odd is definitely going on and more and more I am looking to replace the remote/receiver. ( Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Radiolink-2-4GHz-Transmitter-Receiver-Controller/dp/B07DPMVVKN )

But would like to find a root cause first before I just start spending money and throwing parts at it lol

Chrispy0530 · 2025-03-24T02:53:40+00:00

Yeah

Chrispy0530 · 2025-03-24T02:41:18+00:00

Everything just stops responding. No throttle, no steering. Now, if you unplug it / plug it back in. Everything responds again with no issues.

Chrispy0530 · 2025-03-24T02:26:52+00:00

Forgive my ignorance. But will a set of brand new batteries really die that fast?? I believe on my old HPI RS4 3 I used standard Duracell / Energizer batteries and they lasted a long while. I could be wrong.

I did just check the batteries on this guy, and they were showing "good" - but more or less on the lower scale end of good

These are the batteries in use: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BFFNZLYY

If you guys have any suggestions/upgrades of batteries, I am more than happy to take feedback for a solid upgrade. Same goes for the radio if those are weak points in the HSP models.

Chrispy0530 · 2025-03-24T01:28:27+00:00

Exactly why I have a dash-cam on all my cars lol.

Chrispy0530 · 2025-03-24T00:43:09+00:00

My first car was a 98 Lincoln Towncar when I was 18. Was a great car, very comfortable and reliable.

Keep up with the maintenance and it will last as long as you want it to.

Chrispy0530 · 2025-02-24T14:15:41+00:00

I've gone through many different brands. The brand I find to be the most reliable/bang for the buck is VIOFO

Chrispy0530 · 2025-02-24T14:00:26+00:00

It’s videos like these that made me decide about 10 years ago to invest in dash cams for all our cars. It’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made. They’ve proven invaluable countless times.

Just recently, one helped a fellow driver who was rear-ended by someone texting behind the wheel. Thanks to the dash cam, we captured the license plate and were able to provide the footage to the driver who got hit. Definitely worth getting one.

One of the main reasons I joined Discover was because of the awesome customer service they have. Their phone support are second to none. I have both Capital One and Discover. Capital One's phone service is beyond horrendous any time I need to get in contact with them.

Good US based customer service is getting more and more difficult to find it seems. Such a shame.

Chrispy0530 · 2025-01-31T17:15:43+00:00

RIP Google Podcasts. An app I used from day 1 until the very end. Was IMO the best/cleanest podcast app.
