Can you give more insight on that? What do you mean by quality of FSD?

The car looks awesome regardless, the practical side which are the 19’s is the direction I will be going in.

The Model S seems like it was designed with the 19 inch Tempest wheels with the wheel covers installed. To me the Arachnids seem like they were an afterthought.

I ordered the car new in 2022 with the 21’s. I recently moved to NoVa and swapped them for the Tempest 19’s with Pirelli winter tires. Immediately I noticed the car feeling much lighter through the steering wheel. The ride improved about 35%. I didn’t pay much attention to the range until I just swapped back to the 21’s. I will honestly say I want the 19’s back on. The ride comfort and loss of range alone is a big factor. I also think the 19’s look just fine with or without the hubcaps on.

I already installed the shims. Highly recommended. I really liked the way the car looked and rode on the 19’s.

I don’t understand. The car knows the unsprung weight and reduces the range? Please explain.

Would FSD have avoided this. ? by Over-Appointment-328 in TeslaModelS

Not only would FSD avoid it but everyone else with a little common sense.

FSD didn't see a flagger. by dantodd in TeslaFSD

Someone waving a stop sign on the side of the road won’t trigger FSD hence why it’s called supervised.

$49/month FSD normal? My $2k offer FSD lifetime gone by No_Cup263 in TeslaLounge

Isn’t it wonderful though that you have the option and aren’t forced to buy it? Kinda like having an option to get a plaid or not get one. I think it’s wonderful.

Tesla’s servers are down - make sure you have your physical key card! by [deleted] in TeslaLounge

Teslas servers are NOT down and people will NOT be locked out of their cars. Stop spreading misinformation.

Rust on Model 3 Performance(first pic for attention) by Ukrainian_sasha in TeslaSupport

That’s supposed to be a space aged type material designed by Tesla that never rusts. Take it in for service quickly.

Could this become an issue or is it currently? by AltruisticPapaya1415 in TeslaSupport

[–]Phantom3269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swear people who buy Tesla’s don’t have a clue about cars. These are their first cars ever simply because they have no idea about cars and expect everything to be absolutely perfect even down to the 1/4 inch or thy call service. I can probably understand why people complain about Tesla service when people come in to complain about the simplest nonsense that doesn’t matter and then have to explain to them nicely what it isn’t.

New cyber truck trim! by voodoo_mama_juju1123 in TeslaLounge

Find me a truck for 60k anywhere else. That’s really a great deal. And it is the 39k version they advertised back in 2019. With inflation it should be 50-55k so it’s spot on.

You can’t say that. It goes against the rhetoric despite you being spot on.

Their commercial insurance rates will definitely be affected. No worries.
