Car looks great! How do you like the B pillar carbon? I have been looking at that and the carbon replacement for the plastic around the headlights.
Was that a hard swap for the b pillar?
Mine failed the first time, waited 45 minutes or so tried later and it worked. Everything was very sluggish on PCM when I got back to car after upgrade and it wouldn’t play music from radio, usb or CarPlay, worked on next restart though.
Looks really nice, and I would like the range and charging improvements but the cost to get a comparable new PTS with a similar spec of my current MY24 Turbo S is insane… well over $250k.
for me even the J1.1 is awesome, enjoy it every day and it works really well. Guessing J1.2 is same...
Took a trip to China and Japan with my kids to celebrate a HS graduation and start of college. Stumbled onto some EV fun.
NIO is totally cool, I may have cried a little when I watched a normal car owner swap a battery in less than 4 minutes… and it didn’t cost them $50k!! It was less exciting...
I switched from a MY20 to MY24 for 3 reasons
1. I like the J1.1 look better than J1.2 and the car is great for me range wise
2. I wanted something that I had CPO on as long as possible
3. I love the PTS color :)…
When I did it though J1.2 wasn’t discounted and was brand new. Maybe now I...
I rarely charge to 100%, recently I did by mistake (turned on direct charging while detailing inside)… and without regen the brake feel is very soft.
My 4S had steel brakes and it didn’t feel soft. This is a Turbo S with PCCB .
Anyone else notice the brakes feel soft when regen isn’t kicking...
Wheels, I like the black ok too… :) but want something that makes the car color pop a little more, the trim is all black or carbon fiber.
The other thought I have is buy a used set and keep the black ones… but between my kids cars, a truck to pull a trailer and my car I have an embarrassingly...
I have black wheels currently, and black calipers, considering getting them painted gold or a silver… before I put them back on.
Thoughts?
And are the gold seen online neodyne or atrium? Want to get center caps that match either way so sticking with oem colors.
Yes I couldn’t beat the price for a j1.1 last summer for a CPO PTS, in a color I really wanted and warranty until 2030. Also J1.1 I knew I really liked already. Good enough and cheaper. But the newer front end has grown on me I don’t mind it at all now.
I bought a set of 20inch wheels online because I had almost new 20 inch winter tires from my MY20 4S that the new Turbo S replaced. The 20s came with all seasons that still had about 75% of their life left so running those initially.
The black Mission E did grow on me and I will switch back to...
I have 3 thoughts :)…
1. I am super happy with my MY24 that I bought on a steep discount with a goal of getting to 2030-2032 before considering the latest. Mostly to see battery tech improvements.
2. I hope they update the software again if they are slowing the big step pace down. While not...
