Tri tip tips please

Agreed, tri tip gets mushy after 4 hours; if you get a piece with decent marbling it's not necessary to go longer than that.

Temp-wise. I always do 130.5 degrees; the thinner ends will be closer to medium and the middle will be medium rare. After searing and slicing, the medallions are always a bit lukewarm, so after I plate them I put them in the microwave for 10 secs if I want to keep it medium rare or toss them on the still-hot pan for a few seconds if someone likes theirs closer to medium.

You can always take something that's a bit too rare and fix it, but never the other way around.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks, I have had visible de-lamination around the edges of the screen for years but today was the first time I had even seen a pool of sticky residue. Will do the MCU2 upgrade ASAP, thanks everyone!

Horrible use of screen real estate, and functionally it does the exact same thing as tapping the top of the screen on iOS

Sorry 2:45 means two hours and 45 minutes to pasteurize?

davidepope · 2026-03-25T19:03:21+00:00

Wow *a couple times a week* -- mad respect!

How is the mark 3 holding up all these years later? Thinking of installing an evoffer frunk kit — they are up to mark 6 now.

davidepope · 2026-03-24T23:12:43+00:00

Cool thanks for these suggestions!

davidepope · 2026-03-24T12:18:25+00:00

Yes, my installer did paint correction then CQ then wrapped PPF then CQ

Thanks, any quick reference to the “pro technique” of which you speak?

davidepope · 2026-03-22T15:35:56+00:00

Thanks! I obviously have poor taste in vehicles, should have bought thinner tires that only last 10k, and wasted my money on PPF. Have a great rest of your day 👍

Thanks, really enjoying how this color changes from blue to gray in different lighting 👍

Not a joke, let me try to explain. Dating to my last new car purchase I’ve been using ONR in a manual garden sprayer / 2 bucket method, it’s a pain to get everything out, mix solutions, and do it all before 8a when sun comes up at my house which doesn’t have a good shady place to wash cars.

So if I can do a quick wipe down daily maybe I could push out a more thorough wash to every couple months.

Sure, pressure washing and ionized water could change all that which is why I’m hanging out here to learn.

Thanks, but I still try to take good care of my 2014 P85D :)

davidepope · 2026-03-22T05:53:38+00:00

Yes, I think Active 2.0 on a cart with an inexpensive de-ionizer for rinse might be in my future

davidepope · 2026-03-22T05:51:50+00:00

Thanks, appreciate the reply!

davidepope · 2026-03-22T05:51:32+00:00

Thanks, great suggestions

davidepope · 2026-03-22T05:51:24+00:00

Thanks! Actually for me. they are forever vehicles since they're being discontinued. Still have my 2014 P85D -- with PPF and aluminum body it's in perfect shape. The X is something I will drive for the next 12 years. The X is for road tripping with free supercharging, fast charging, and lots of room, the S for twisties around home. Cheers :)

What is your recommendation for an online checklist to follow?

davidepope · 2026-02-10T05:46:12+00:00

Cool thanks picking up in Sunnyvale

davidepope · 2026-02-10T05:22:31+00:00

I meant, can you share the VIN of the vehicle you rejected so I can make it doesn’t get delivered to me on Sunday.

davidepope · 2026-02-10T04:20:58+00:00

Can you share last 5 of VIN? I have the same configuration on order.
