I ran a standard fish tape from the cabin, through the fire wall and into the frunk area. I then grabbed the cables I had run from the bumper area, through the frunk and pulled them with the fish tape through the fire wall. It's been a few years, but my recollection is that it was very tight...

I ran a wire from the cabin into the frunk for a front mounted parking camera on my 2021+. I forced it through the existing grommet in the driver's side footwell. It was a tight fit and a pain to do, but it worked. I did not snap any photos of that area during my install. I don't know but I...

There is no need whatsoever for a power magic. I've had my blackvue wired directly to constant power and never had any issue.

Definitely a welcome update! Of course, this should have existed when the car was released over 2 years ago...

No problem. Can you kindly share which wires you tapped into on the car for brake, signals and running lights?

There is a reliable unswitched power source in the trunk right behind the passenger rear wheel well. The photo below shows the red wire that I tapped. I use that power source for some USB chargers in the trunk, to power a dashcam and I intended to use it for trailer lights (although I was not...

Hmmm. Two separate posts asking for details and no response. I'm curious about these problems now...

Do you mind sharing what hitch shop you went to for the wiring? I'm local Vancouver too. Thanks.

Do you know how they wired the hard-wired version? I messed around for hours with the Tekonsha 119251 and could not get it to work on my 2021 S. I'd be very interested in knowing how the hard-wired version connected to the car's wiring. Thanks.

I'm going to state the obvious, but have you tried Tesla?

Looks fantastic! However, how do you see out of that at night?

Please let us know if you figure anything out. I don't know much about multiplex wiring, but based upon the work I did, I cannot get the Tekonsha unit to distinguish between the different signals being transmitted through the various wires. Perhaps someone with more expertise than I in...

Yes. See my posts #117 and #135 in this thread. Trailer hitch on 2021 refresh? Trailer hitch on 2021 refresh? 2021+ wiring appears to be different as the Tekonsha unit does not work using tail lights as the source signal.

I may be contrarian, but I am surprised this thread has continued for 13 pages. To me, there is little utility in huffing and puffing about whether features arguably promised were delivered or not (tilting screen, Steam, 2-zone audio etc.). If people don't like Tesla or the car or feel they were...

Sorry, ignore this -- it was intended to be posted in a different thread.

I may be contrarian, but I am surprised this thread has continued for 10 pages. To me, there is little utility in huffing and puffing about whether features arguably promised were delivered or not (tilting screen, Steam, 2-zone audio etc.). If people don't like Tesla or the car or feel they...

Too bad -- obviously not a good experience. Sounds like you would be wise to invest in some driver training...

Looks fantastic! However, how can you drive it at night with 5% tint on side windows? I had 5% on the rear windows of my last ride and I couldn't see anything out the back that wasn't brightly lit.

Read this for others who have had a similar issue (albeit with 2021+). Power Frunk Group Buy - MS Refresh LR/Plaid

I have been fortunate and my 2021+ MSLR has decent paint, fit and finish. However, I have yet to scan any forum for any car where enthusiasts did not complain about how soft the paint was or how much orange peel etc. was present, be it MB, BMW, Porsche, Audi..... Having owned those brands...

I installed both. Problem with the hitch is it does not assist you if you ski (unless you don't care about road grime getting all over your planks). A roof rack is essential for a box. Thankfully, I've had no difficulty to date and I've had my rack on and off many times.

Yes, I'm still happy with it. It has stayed put and the finish has held up well. For a cheap strictly cosmetic part, I'm quite happy.

You may want to post your ads in forums for which you actually make products. The OP is seeking mats for a MS, not a 3 or Y.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the infotainment when I am stuck somewhere for whatever reason. However, infotainment is not the principal reason I purchased my car and life is too short (IMO) to lose your *sugar* or sue Tesla over steam not working or missing a tilting screen, or having the old...

I'm not quite sure what all you guys do in your cars. I drive my car, not hang out in it to play games. If I want to play games, I do it at home, not in a car. The reality is that Tesla overpromised many features on the 2021 refresh that are only slowly creeping into the builds. I choose to...

I've actually found this one to be quite good (EVOffer variant of power frunk). It seamlessly integrates with the car, meaning it can be activated from either the touchscreen or the app. It made the frunk about 1000% more useful (don't have to worry about bending the hood, don't have to get...

I think Tesla stopped putting the "TESLA" on the black bar when they started supplying the 2022s with the updated tail lights. Mine is a 2021+, it has the old tail lights and the black strip has "TESLA" on it.

This is one of the reasons I opted for an aftermarket power frunk kit. It latches the frunk by pulling down via the power struts. I use the frunk semi-regularly and no issues to date.

This does not work on a 2021+ MS. As for where to put it, the Tesla hitch has a plug mount on it.

Definitely a balancing issue. Get them balanced again.

Thanks for this. I tried it and unfortunately, it didn't solve either issue. I may schedule a service appt but I'm not optimistic they will do anything.

Hi, I have a 2021+ MSLR and recently loaded 2022.40.4.2 into the car. With this: 1. The auto-close function on Homelink stopped working (location based auto open works, but close does not); 2. The predictive drive direction is always wrong in my garage where before it was always correct (I...

This must be model or year specific as there is no such connector in my 2021+ MSLR. I had to wire my own to get 15V access in the trunk area.

12v outlet is in the centre console.

See post #36 in this thread. 12V Access: Model S 2021 Refresh I've wired the exact same setup in my MSLR and it is convenient.

I'm running a 275/35R20 square setup with Nokian R3 for my winter tires and it works perfectly. As long as you stay close to the OEM tire circumference and have correct clearance / offsets for your wheels, going non-OEM size is fine.

I believe they changed with the 2021+ refreshed version when they switched to the bluetooth sensor. My 2021+ uses the bluetooth TPMS.

There is no need to run a staggered setup. For my winter setup, I'm running Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3s in a 275/35R20 square configuration on my 2021 refresh and they work great. The only critical factors for size are strut/fender clearance (function of ensuring you have a wheel with acceptable...

Thanks for this. Do you know how he programmed / configured the unit? I spent hours with this thing and hours on the phone with Tekonsha's technical support and could not get it to work.

I can't comment definitively on that setup, but I run 20x9.5 ET35 for my winter setup and have more than 5mm inner clearance in the rear. Accordingly, a 9.5 ET40 should fit no problem. If you are really concerned, test fit a front rear on your rear.

Search is your friend... 2021 Tesla Model S Refresh Roof Rack Installation Nightmare! Has anybody installed roof racks on their Plaid/New LR? 2021+ Model S Roof Rack Clips Too Short? new 2021 Model S - can you install a ski rack?

Bizarre. However, I'd suggest that a thief of this nature would not look into the car to ascertain whether the rear seats can be folded down or whether that functionality has been disabled by some means. As such, there would still be a broken window.

I don't understand this thread. The MS is a hatchback, so there is little to no purpose to locking the rear seats in the upright position since they do not stop access to the trunk.

Looks great and glad to hear it works well. This is a much simpler solution than hardwiring. Here's my hardwired version 2021+ Front Parking Camera Installed . I use it almost daily.

Read posts #117 and #135 from this thread.

Looks like it could work, but it's 4 times the price of an MX hitch.

I have a 13 pro with an apple case and it charges quickly in my 2021 MSLR.

Sorry, I inadvertently had a typo. I'm 275/35/20 not 275/35/20. I agree that 275/30/20 would be too small.
