New Tesla 0-60 in under 1 second
The next-generation Tesla Roadster is shaping up to be the most advanced production car ever built. Co-developed with SpaceX, it will hit 0 to 60 in under 1 second and feature a steer-by-wire system with F1-grade steering ratios through a patented 340-degree actuator. Two recently published patents reveal an active downforce system that sucks the car to the ground at any speed and ultra lightweight one piece seats that flex when reclined to save weight. The unveiling is expected in late…

The Crown King-Prescott Run
Anyway, cockpit’s set, luggage and tire/recovery gear stowed (not that we’ll need it, but…), and it’s off to Rock Springs Cafe for a good breakfast and then to the dirt. More pics & tales to follow over the…
Just a quick couple nights. Told the wife she is getting some wheel time on Crown King Road. She was supposed to get some at Off-Roadeo, but she was just too nervous. I figure this is as tame as it comes off-pavement, I need her to gain some confidence, even if it’s a level 1.

Alternator OAD Pulley Replacement Part #
The the pulley is made by Litens part #920123 920123A or 920123K for roughly $50. I found one on Amazon. Another forum member also found it on RockAuto.com.
I went with a new serpentine belt from NAPA #060452 for $35
I recommend renting a decoupler tool from AutoZone for fast removal.
No need to remove the alternator or pay the dealer $500.
There’s plenty of great YouTube videos showing how to…

Unsteady idle
I have a ’21 BSBB and an intermittent issue has been popping up with the idle. This issue is not happening often enough to be able to take it to the dealer, under the extended warranty, for it to be likely for the dealer to duplicate or see the problem however I did get a small video of it and posted it here. I wanted to see if anyone else has seen this with their BS before I contact the dealer.
In the video, you will see the RPM, at idle, suddenly drops and when the idle drops the…

2025 Dash Accessory Bolt Size
Bolt size for the dash accessories are supposedly 1/4 – 20.
So I buy a Ram Mount ball Bolt size 1/4 – 20.
Not even close. Diameter is too large.
Every Google search says the accessory bolts are 1/4 – 20.
So what is it really??

Lift or not to lift, that is the question…and tires
Just got the Heritage, it’s awesome, and I will post pics soon.
First, a general question: I’m scheduled to get a 1.5” lift and KO2 tires (245/65/17) from the Ford dealer. Anyone have experience, suggestions, comments here?
Anything is appreciated (ie, is the lift worth it, are the tires good, are they noisey, affect mpg significantly?)
I’m not going to be doing serious off-roading (been there done that), but I just want it to look a little…
