    Does Anyone Make a Door-Handle-Mounted Cup Holder That's Over 3-Inches in Diameter?

    tldr; I'm looking for this style cup holder but in something larger than 3" diameter: I'm growing increasingly frustrated with these Chinese offerings that all state they're over 3" in diameter but then you get them and they're less than 3" ID. The tumblers were use are right about 3"...

    This Latest Attempt to Force FSD Upon Everyone is Hurting the FSD Cause More Than Helping

    Warning: long detailed post ahead so get comfy if you choose to read it. I broke it up a little bit for those who want to read certain aspects. ► Overview: This may be an unpopular opinion in this pro-Tesla community with many members to whom Tesla can do no wrong. I know that Tesla wants to...

    Why Did Tesla Revert Back to Location-Based Smart Air Suspension Being the Default Each Time?

    This is SO annoying for those of us that don't live in perfect weather sunny SoCal. With a (somewhat) recent update they reverted the SaS back to the previous way it works where the default is to try to remember your location EVERY time you adjust the height. This is such a terrible way to go...

    For All of Those Who Challenged My Stance Over the Years on OHMMU Batteries

    This video does a GREAT job of summarizing the incredibly important reasons to NOT swap the OEM low-volt battery for one of these at any cost, let alone over 2.5x OEM replacement cost. Even if you subscribe to the "benefits" this touts, none of them apply to a Tesla given the relatively...

    Car Wash Mode: The Requirement to Apply Brake to Access Free Roll/Drive is Dangerous

    When in Car Wash Mode, we should be able to put the car back into drive from neutral/free roll without applying the brakes first at the end. For automatic car washes where you're on a conveyor belt with a car staged directly behind you, the last thing you want to do is engage the brakes at any...

    Has Anyone Else Been Getting Notifications of Text Messages That You Received Years Ago?

    We've experienced an issue in our new Model Y where you'll get a text message notification and but it will be for a text message you got years ago. Possibly related, it's also begun reading all of the code/characters/digits associated with a text message in addition to the message itself. So it...

    Has Anyone Else Experienced Widget Issues w/the Latest Tesla App Update?

    About a week or so ago I updated the Tesla app on my Android device (Pixel running latest version of Android) and the two older Tesla widgets on my display are now b0rk. The 3rd is a new 2023 Model Y LR that displays properly but the two older Teslas (2016.5 P90D & 2017 P100D, both on MCU1 still...

    Looking For Those w/18" Wheels on MY LR (Wheel Weights/Caliper Clearance)

    I'm curious about some first hand input from those who have "downgraded" their wheels on their MY to 18" wheels from the larger factory offerings. Specifically the clearance of inner barrel wheel weights to the front caliper. I think I've seen reports that the 18" may or may not be compatible on...

    Took Delivery of MY LR in Colorado, No Gratis Mud Flaps & PPF?

    I'm curious what the deal is with this. I read some saying that some regions get these items installed gratis. Some said their MY had them installed already at delivery while others said that their SA informed them to schedule in the app to have them installed as they didn't have the parts at...

    [Feature Request] Tesla Should Add the Ability to Turn Wireless Charging Off in Settings

    I love the idea of wireless charging for when I need it. This will likely make up about 2% or so of our use though. What I don't need is my phone to go through a dozen charge cycles on a quick 15min drive in to work, more on longer trips. For us, we normally have plenty of charge left at the end...

    Tesla Model S Factory Carpet Floor Mats Black OEM - Northern Colorado

    These were listed for more money and I had plenty of interest but I had someone offer $50 for these which I accepted to expedite the process. I'm having a hard time getting them to follow through with meeting me so your money is as good as theirs. $50 face-to-face in Northern Colorado. $25 S&H...

    **SOLD** Tesla Model S Rear Cup Holder EVamped Carbon Fiber Ludicrous Version

    Like new rear center console cup holder for 2012-2020 Tesla Model S cars. This is a rare carbon fiber version they made briefly. The base version of this is $450 new (see image) and this was limited time run and no longer available that was $500 plus tax/shipping. Total paid for this was close...

    Ordered Model Y LR, Delivery est 2/9-3/9: Matrix? 4680?

    I'm curious if anyone has a better idea on this. I've read some stuff but much of it is from months ago and we all know what that means in terms of features/options/pricing for new Teslas. I ordered a blue/white 5-seat LR. I believe the fact that the interior is white means it has to come from...

    It looks like you Model Y folks are going to be seeing a lot more of the O-sak 'round these parts

    ...because I ordered up a new 2023 Model Y today. Blue on white LR w/19" wheels on it's way! w00t! Lots of people complaining about how betrayed they feel but the sheer number of new customers that will be over-the-moon with their new EV will far exceed the vocal minority who bought during a...

    New Trak Sport Quick snow chain kit made to work with most common tire sizes on cars. This kit was bought new from Tesla several years ago (they sell something similar still but a different brand now) for nearly $500 after tax/shipping making this a very good deal on a set of snow chains.

    Does Anyone Have Pictures or Experience w/ Exped Megamat Auto/Duo in a Model S?

    Does anyone have any pictures of the Exped Auto (previously called the Megamat duo according to their site) in their Model S? I see nothing online when I try to search Google Images. I'm a bit concerned that the official listing on the Exped website makes no mention of the Model S but lists...

    Seeking First-Hand Feedback for Exped Megamat v Millard Tri-fold v Dreamcase v Air Mattress

    Looking for people who have used both the Exped Megamat as well as a Millard tri-fold for their Tesla and can speak to comfort differences. Bonus points if you're used a Dreamcase or standard air mattress as well. We have a Model S but I'm sure the comparison will remain the same other than...

    How are we supposed to get est range @ 90% 100% etc. now?

    These new updates are awful. I can't adjust the SoC capacity unless it's actually plugged in which is stupid. I should be able to open the app at any point and slide the SoC to 80% 90% 100% or whatever. They appear to have also removed the estimate of range that previously existed. So, even if I...

    Does Anyone Else See the Irony in Having to Pay "Commission" to Buy a New Teslas? [buying a reservation instead of ordering online]

    Tesla set out to disrupt the dealer to consumer car model as we know it. They've done that alright but not how we thought they would. Not only are people paying $5,000-$10,000 (or much more in some cases) to buy a reservation from someone who probably had no intent to own the car themselves in...

    Tesla Model S Refresh (2016.5+) OEM Front License Plate Holder in Silver

    A while back someone mentioned that lots of people just take their front plate holder off and toss them. Apparently the previous owner of one of my cars was in this category. Now I need one. 😂 I'm hoping to find one (ideally in Metallic Silver) for a 2017 Model S Refresh destined for the...

    When did Tesla include Subzero, UHFS, SaS as standard equipment?

    At some point that Tesla started included previously optional items such as SaS, UHFS & Subzero as standard equipment. What I'm trying to find out is specifically when that happened. I feel like it was early 2018 but I can't seem to narrow it down to a month with definitive information. Searches...

    How Does One Go About Getting a Discount on New Inventory & Demo Units?

    Quick PSA About Changing the Key Fob Battery & "Key Fob Battery Low" Error Message

    If/when you get the "key fob low battery" I would recommend the following as best practices: 1) Change not one but BOTH (or all three if you got a 3rd) batteries at the same time. They should last about a year and (if you buy them right) they're not super expensive. I found that you can get 4...

    Will the Tax Credit Include 30% of my Service Upgrade as Part of HPWC Install?

    We built our house about 15 years ago and, for whatever reason, we have only a 100A service coming into the house. Most all of our neighbors have at least a 150A service so I'm not really sure why we got the shaft. At any rate, I talked with the city and they said that our supply is probably...

    Anyone Else Have Bluetooth Issues on the Newest Model S Update?

    12/6/19 Tesla Has Returned FUSC to the Used Cars They Offer... Sort of.

    Tesla Should Update Firmware to Allow Regen Braking When Battery is "Full"

    By that I mean most of us charge to a user-specified software limit of say 70%, 80%, 90%, etc. When you first set out on your next drive after charging to that capacity there's a warning that regenerative braking won't function 100% until some juice is used up to make room. Every time I have...
