Tesla's Supercharger Team was recently laid off. We discuss what this means for the company on today's TMC Podcast streaming live at 1PM PDT. You can watch on X or on YouTube where you can participate in the live chat.
For comparison, this is what the car looked like when I bought it as a CPO from Tesla in 2017. I like the blacked out look much better, but it's pretty easy to go back to the stock look if you prefer it. The "Signature" script on the sidemarker is currently covered with black vinyl as part of...
A few final notes - if you're local, there is no sales tax on private party sales in the State of Arizona. I think that applies to a few other states as well, but don't ask me which ones.
Clean title in hand. No accidents. No liens.
Okay, massive photo drop. These pictures were just taken within the hour. A few things to point out:
- Forgot to mention this car has dual chargers, so up to 80 amp charging at Level 2 is possible
- Interior has beautiful carbon fiber accents
- I also added the OEM phone Qi charger in the...
Own a piece of history. Selling my 2012 Signature Red Model S P85 VIN 588. I am the second owner and purchased as a CPO in 2017. The car has been very well maintained and remains in great condition. Just had 2-year service done in 6/2022 and put in a new 12V battery. Mileage is only 37,958...
588 got the MCU 2 upgrade back in 10/2020, not long after my car was showing signs of eMMC failure. I added the FM upgrade a couple months later. The screen orientation is poor if you ever watch videos while Supercharging. Other than that, it was a much needed upgrade. Everything is just so much...
I’ve actually had good experience with Hansshow support. They just sent me a new Model 3 frunk soft close latch motor on a V3 kit I bought 1-1/2 years ago for free (including shipping). I installed this past weekend and it works perfectly
Before this experience, I had an old Model S without a...
I actually had okay support from Hansshow recently, but you have to use WhatsApp. That seems to be their preferred method.
I was having some issues (discussed in another thread) with v3 of the power lift gate interfering with the rear camera. They did some troubleshooting with me, but it was...
I ended up disconnecting the Hansshow v3 Tailgate and went back to stock. I was able to do it myself, but it took a while. Pulling off and re-installing all those interior panels is best left to the professionals and there is, indeed, not a lot of room to release the lower portion of the...
I’m on 2021.4.21.2
My installer is nearby. I can easily ask him to take me back to stock, but I’ll try reaching out the Hansshow first RE: a CANBUS upgrade. I can pull off panels and wire that.
Would it be possible to unplug the Hansshow tailgate handle Y-adapter and reconnect the OEM wiring...
I started having these same problems last week and my 12V battery ended up dying Saturday night. I received no warning alerts prior to the battery dying. I have Hansshow V3 frunk and trunk openers and a 2020 Model 3 that’s only about 18 months old.
Tesla was just here to replace the battery...
I have a 2012 Signature Model S and thankfully the battery is still just fine. But yes, I was wondering if the OP reached out to Gruber as well. I'm in Phoenix so it's a lot easier for me, but I used to take my old Roadster there a lot. They really know their stuff. I wonder what they would...
I think it means the suspension is not changing heights? I'll have to trouble shoot it a bit more. If that's the case, I'm really hoping it's not a major fix. Guess these cars are 8-9 years old by now and stuff like this is bound to happen.
If the 3.0 battery is still going to cost about $30K, can you hold off on your contracted battery replacement to the 10-year mark, hope to get a 3.0 and maybe just get a cheap lease on a Bolt in the meantime? Would just like you to maximize the potential value of your prepaid replacement if...
Got my MCU 2 upgrade back on my classic pre-AP Signature Model S today. Took only a day to do. I asked for the radio upgrade, but was told it was currently unavailable.
One small hiccup at contactless pickup. I didn’t bring my second key fob thinking I could open the car with the app. Well...
I'm enjoying the show quite a bit. I don't know much about that part of the world so it's really cool to see the beautiful scenery and the snippets into the local cultures.
I was checking out the Harley Livewire website and it looks like it's either Level 1 or Level 3 charging. Level 2...
I have the MCU upgrade scheduled in a couple weeks for my 2012 Signature Model S. Looks like they're trying to charge me for labor. I said the website on the Infotainment upgrade specifically states the $2500 includes installation. SC said look again and that the information on the website has...
From my local SC: "It will require to have the MCU replaced. If you would like the upgrade, we can request the part(s) (2 weeks out). Please let us know if you would like to authorize the upgrade and we will request it today."
and:
"We recommend to not drive it or limit the amount of...
I got this message last night (9/26/2020) on my 2012 Signature Model S. I can't get an appointment at the local SC for 3-1/2 weeks (10/23/2020).
I just emailed the SC and told them I don't want to get stranded driving the car and asked if they could squeeze me in earlier.
The Wheel Specialists (Wheel Specialists, Inc.), your neighbor in Tempe, have machined some custom forged rims for the Roadster.
I know these are on one Roadster locally (and I think you know that owner):

Might want to reach out and see what other lightweight...
My wife and I just spent a weekend in Flagstaff, AZ in Sig 588. We drove up from Phoenix and made it to the Supercharger with 19 rated miles left. Considering the elevation change from roughly 1000 ft above sea level in PHX to 7000 feet in Flag over 140 miles up the mountains, I didn’t think it...
Thanks for the info! Below is the message I just got via the app.
OP - don't mean to hijack your thread. But hopefully we're helping point out your car as a really nice (and currently rare) upgrade!
I drove pretty conservatively on my initial drive home from the tire shop - about 10 miles with a combination of highway and surface streets. My installer told me to take it easy because one wheel was stripped, repaired, and freshly powder coated to fix some curb gash.
Initial impressions are...
Oh man. These are 19" Cyclones not the OEM Model S rims which I did not like. I'm a big fan of the Cyclones. Had them on my now sold 2013 Model S 85. They look much better and sportier than the OEM rims and give a similar look to the 21" turbines. But I like that you can put an an all season...
I’m having these installed on my 2012 P85 with turbines this week. Will report back after installation. My tire guy said Vredestein makes great tires, although they don’t have much experience with this particular tire yet.
Yours just might be the first pre-AP car with the infotainment upgrade! Congrats and thanks for clarifying. I just saw through the service option on the Tesla app the Infotainment Upgrade is a 30-60 delay due to parts shortage. Who knows what that will actually be in Tesla time.
I love these...
How did you get the Infotainment upgrade on a 2012 Signature Model S? I didn't think it was offered yet for pre-AP cars? I'm actually planning to upgrade my 2012 Sig Red Model S, a cousin of you car apparently, once it's offered locally.
Infotainment Upgrade
Chrome window trim is hideous and draws too much attention visually. With the chrome delete, the car looks so much better. My eyes are drawn to the whole car, which looks nicely integrated, rather than chrome trim popping out.
Maybe the chrome is less obnoxious with other colors (and I know...
Hello fellow, Arizonans!
Just started reading through this thread. Great info!
I have a question for the group RE: the viability of Powerwall for my situation.
I have a 6.867 kW system on my house. All are south facing. Roof space is maxed out on the main house. We have major shading issues...

Gruber might be able to revive it depending on how long it's been bricked. I was just there a couple weeks ago to drop off some parts. They had a couple Roadster batteries on the floor being revived. Unfortunately, not all can be brought back.
Good luck!
I have their...
I ordered this just after I bought my Model 3 in 12/2019. I finally installed it here in Phoenix in July, but unfortunately, it obstructs the view too much when combined with my window tint. It's too late to return it so hopefully someone can take advantage and make good use of this.
Same...
