    Vendor New Refresh Headlights & Taillights for Tesla Model S 2012-2020 | T Sportline x Alpharex collab NOVA Headlights and Pro Series Taillights

    Very nice looking after installation! Good job on breaking down the process! I have a quick question. Does this headlight have good long-distance performance without too much foreground light pattern in low beam? As a fan of Morimoto headlight, I am also curious about how this performs...

    Does the new Model S have the same door speaker as the previous Model S?

    We all know that the original UHFS system was designed by S1nn company. I am wondering if Tesla updated all speakers except the ones in the doors? I got the chance to get the donor speakers from Refresh Model S for the front door and the rear. However, I cannot tell any difference between my...

    Voice command not working

    After the update, the voice command button on my 2018 Model S isn't working. I'm unsure if it's a hardware issue or caused by the update.

    Replacing cabin air filter and cleaning evaporator fins in 2021-2022 MS

    Thank you for sharing! It does look like the tunnel is much deeper for the water to drain but it might not change the fact that the water can still get into the air intake in the first place🧐 Also, has everyone noticed that when you activate the car wash mode, the system allows outside air to...

    Replacing cabin air filter and cleaning evaporator fins in 2021-2022 MS

    Can we have comparison photos of the opening angle to see if a deeper pocket can prevent water from getting in too easily during rain or car wash? I want to know if paying for the revision out of pocket on the new parts that fix the smell and prevent it from occurring after rain or a car wash...

    Jebinc’s Plaid Vibration Experiment Results!!!

    Quick Updates on my side: Do you have a chance to try to pair it with 19-inch wheel? My 80 mph vibration seems to improve greatly when I get a chance to pick up a 19 inch tempest wheel.

    Will 21" Plaid Arachnids fit on 2017 Model S? - Answer: No, they rub

    The Tesla Arachnids wheel is 21 inches so the wheel configuration is correct for 21 inch. Are you talking about the aftermarket 20-inch wheel here?

    Putting 2022 19" wheels/tires on 2017 Model S?

    Have you replaced the original equipment stud with a longer aftermarket stud? I'm assuming the original stud didn't provide enough space for tightening it up properly.

    2021 Model S Plaid Steering Yoke shaking at highway speeds

    Thank you for sharing your positive experience! Looks like the technician is at least taking it seriously. Please keep us updated on how it performs for a few miles! I sometimes have experienced a placebo effect that I feel the fix works for me after frequently visiting the service center with...

    Will 21" Plaid Arachnids fit on 2017 Model S? - Answer: No, they rub

    I've noticed that on my car, the 9.5" wheels in the front tend to rub during complete turns, while the 10.5" wheels in the back do not. It seems that every car has its own slight differences from the alignment spec I guess, I don't even use a spacer.

    Removing / Replacing Air Struts

    That makes sense. I've also heard that simply enabling Jack Mode can stop the compressor from running?

    Removing / Replacing Air Struts

    Need to service the air suspension module soon, now regarding the 2018 car, What is the proper procedure for safely disconnecting the air compressor power? Should we remove the fuse box or simply disconnect the connector from the air compressor?

    2021 Model S Plaid Steering Yoke shaking at highway speeds

    Do you happen to have a video showcasing the vibration at approximately 80 mph? If replacing the half shaft resolves the problem, I will strongly urge my service center to implement the fix if if it's long-lasting. I have a few videos from various sources, but the one from the demo car is the...

    Putting 2022 19" wheels/tires on 2017 Model S?

    Has anyone attempted to fit the updated 21-inch Arachnid wheels onto the Legacy Model S? In case you have, please advise on the required wheel spacer length to accomplish this task. Would a 15mm be suitable? I happen to have a spare Arachnid wheel on hand that I'm eager to experiment with.

    2021 Model S Plaid Steering Yoke shaking at highway speeds

    Instead of just chatting about it, did they actually take you for a spin to show you how the other Plaids have that same vibe when you hit 75mph? Just double-checking that we're on the same page about this vibration situation. I got to try out three other demo Plaids close to my area. Two out...

    2021 Model S Plaid Steering Yoke shaking at highway speeds

    I am not sure, but could that possibly be the reason for the unbalanced half shafts? I have tried road force balancing on all four tires, had the alignment checked twice, and even attempted using a different set of wheels, but none of these actions have led to any improvements. It's worth...

    2021 Model S Plaid Steering Yoke shaking at highway speeds

    I am experiencing a steering wheel/yoke vibration issue when the speed exceeds 80 mph since day 1. This problem is particularly noticeable when using autopilot, as the steering wheel clearly shakes without a hand holding on it. I examined a local demo Model S, which was manufactured in April...

    Is your windshield distortion this bad?

    My windshield looks like that as well. I think it's the same for all Palladium Model S vehicles with updated glass. It's the trade-off for laminated glass, I guess. The service center technicians may not realize they don't have a reference point to compare it to, but, most importantly, they...

    Replacing cabin air filter and cleaning evaporator fins in 2021-2022 MS

    Quick update: I just found out that after swiping the HEPA filter, the smell has gone, and the old HEPA filter has the smell on it. This is probably rare in my case since HEPA filters usually last a long time. --- Also, if anyone is interested, you can feed the foam cleaner either from the...

    Replacing cabin air filter and cleaning evaporator fins in 2021-2022 MS

    Thank you for the brilliant idea! I was planning to do it the way Model 3 and Model Y do it. However, when I opened the cabin filter under the glove box, I could only reach the left side, and the evaporator cleaning hose would get stuck at the blower motor and couldn't reach any further. Based...

    Replacing cabin air filter and cleaning evaporator fins in 2021-2022 MS

    How do I remove the drain hose from the firewall? Even after removing the aero plate, I still cannot reach the firewall. It is just too far away without removing the HV battery skid plate.

    2021 Refresh Tail Lamp and Charge Port Retrofit Project

    I think resealing the left outer taillight len cap back perfectly to prevent the condensation in the future took my most of the time. ps: the lens has to be removed before swapping the housing

    Thank everyone who contributed to this thread. I really appreciate the idea of retaining the charging port. Kudos to @silversurfer1 for this brilliant idea.

    Rattle noise coming from front Air Suspension (2017-18)

    Updates: Noise is coming back in 2k miles after changing the new air spring module. 1. Would either try the NVH strut brace fix if the Tesla service center still offers the part? I had heard they have stop to sell the NVH braces now 2. Or disconnect the braces on both sides

    Adaptive Suspension Damping… Real or Ruse? Which one do you have? Find out fast!

    Mine works excellent as well between each suspension setting. I am curious if this just the early non plaid issue? Great work you did here Steve.

    iOS app: Tesla notifications "work," but they're not actually letting me know they triggered.

    Still whenever the service center sends a message to me. It does not vibrate and has only shown on the notification center since last year. I am on the latest hardware and software 🤦‍♂️ Charging started and ended will vibrate, however.
