The animation also takes FOREVER. It should be 2x the speed it is currently

Gee-whiz. Thanks T-Sportline for confirming what we all knew about 2 weeks ago. This community has figured everything out without your support already. This has been a poor product launch from your side. Alpharex stepped up and provided support, while you stayed silent. For the future: some...

Disconnect or connect the green connectors on each light

The solution we got is not a “production” solution. I imagine the production solution will be more streamlined and able to be produced in mass instead of by hand

We have good news!! Alpharex has been very supportive and genuine in getting a solution for me. They shipped me a pair of 2 ohm resistors that a friend of mine helped me wire in-line with the green power cable coming from the inner tail lights. They also shipped me a new third brake harness...

It goes to the third brake light harness… by the third brake light.

Based on your pic and your write up, you did not connect your third brake light wire to the inners. The inner taillights should light up as well when you’re braking. There’s an included wire that goes from the third brake light connector to each inner light to send the brake signal.

Did you connect your third brake light harness?

I’m in communication with them separately. They already have the resistors in place and are testing them. No, the lights have not dimmed and work properly, all functions are working as expected. If all goes well today/tomorrow with their continued testing, they will send me a resistor kit as...

From your PFP it looks like you have a pre refresh model so there should be no issues for you.

It’s either both or neither.

I actually did not run them fully to check if they were, I just “soft connected”…. I hope they are long enough.

Partly, but I disabled the start up animation and still had the same issue

They look great!!!

Alrighty here we go. I have a 2021 Refresh S LR I got my lights on Saturday and tried to install them then. As soon as I plugged everything in, the passenger side did not work. Both the outer taillight and trunk light were completely non functional. I went through the standard process of...

I will be doing a full write up of everything I did later today. I did get all 4 lights and all functions to work, but it is not a realistic solution. More to come. It has to do with the power draw that occurs when all lights power on at once.

I put them on my refresh because Alpharex told me they would work and also shared the same thing with others in their instagram comment section.

Ready for the good news? Well, keep waiting because these are not it. I spent over 10 hours wiring and testing the lights on my 21 refresh S and was attempting to message Alpharex and Tsportline throughout. ZERO response from either even after they had read my messages. Extremely...

No, go into the service menu and select software reinstall. Also, are all your cables plugged in?

Have you tried to reinstall firmware after plugging in the lights again?

I know that’s the problem… that’s why I asked here haha. These were so rushed they didn’t even send/post instructions

So excited to get these on the car! I’m guessing tracking numbers from today will go out to UPS tonight correct? Also, where can we get instructions?

Same here. Hoping they get brought to UPS today so I can have them this weekend

I did, no luck. This whistle drives me crazy. Here’s a link.

I’ve been dealing with a whistle coming from the rear of my 21 refresh S for quite some time now. I’ve sealed the trunk latch, adjusted the trunk stoppers for fitment, and taped under the “Tesla” letters and nothing changes. Attaching a video. It drives me insane.

Toolbox proxy is required. I had a “communication with ODIN” error both times I’ve done this retrofit on cars and it randomly solves itself. I haven’t been able to figure out where it came from, but it took about 30 minutes to an hour to get past that. Just a heads up. Let me know if you see the...

And then mid July

Did you ever get this resolved? I’m currently running into this exact issue. Traffic to Odin blocked and Toolbox Proxy will not open

You guys have been contemplating for 6 months. I cancelled my order. Sad that you took customers money for so long and basically got a free loan from them.

Hey there! Any chance you could post your service center invoice? Looking to do the same under warranty.

Any tips or tricks that made this easier for you? I’m doing this next weekend. Glad to hear it worked for you!

Any chance you would know if this media converter would work? https://www.ebay.com/itm/226000419941?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=VegSIaONTpe&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=uu6srhdcsu6&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I’m wondering if this would route would work on a Mac without running a VM. Might be worth a shot.

Is the proxy application required when running Toolbox over Chrome on a Mac as well?

Are you able to try the command referenced? The command is consistent with information I’ve seen about it. I’d love to try it with mine, I just don’t have toolbox access/my parts yet.

Can you post some screenshots of what the option in toolbox looks like? My headlights are arriving tomorrow and I’d love to try this DIY as well.

This is the way.

I cancelled my order today. They keep giving the runaround and keep saying “just a few more weeks”. I’m gonna go the EVoffer route. Yea it’ll cost more but I also think they look better as they are OEM.

I have this exact whistle and it drives me insane. Did you find a solution to it? I feel so validated listening to this video lol

Did you ever find a solution to this? I have a whistle coming from the rear, it’s somewhat faint but it drives me nuts.

Sorry, I meant to put that Alpharex is telling me June, while T Sportline is saying April is still a go. (Hard to believe). T Sportline messaged me saying “It's likely intentional that they're telling end users that. They prefer that we deal with the tesla customer.” I would even be open to...

I’m so torn on just getting the EVoffer lights. They’re playing so many games about these. T Sportline is saying via private chat that deliveries are still on track for this month, while EV offer is telling me June possibly. Disappointing.

Update: I put in a service center request and the warranty replacement is with a Global headlight unit from what it looks like. Part 1053571-00-G I have the old connection port, no Ethernet though. Any chance you think they’ll upgrade me to the Ethernet port while updating my config for the...

Wait… are you saying if we get a headlight replacement under warranty, they’ll swap to the newer headlights since the old ones are out of stock now? If so, that’s excellent news for me. One of my headlights flickers very faintly sometimes and I’ve been holding off getting it replaced because...

Update. I reached out to Alpharex themselves and asked once more, because their instagram comments contradicted their other email. Both Alpharex and Tsportline have gotten back to me stating that you CAN turn off the animation. That’s a win!

Some recommend taping the U hook that latches the rear seats in. This did not work for me. Tesla ended up replacing all of the rear seats for me which solved the issue.

Ok, last email screenshot. I reached out to Alpharex themselves and even shared that other wouldn’t order them due to the startup sequence and asked them if they could disable them. This was the response.

Update. T sport line responded after reaching out to Alpharex. Startup sequence is NOT able to be turned off.

I do wonder who’s right. I can see t-sportline saying “no” just as a CYA, I find it hard to image they would add to the description that you CAN disable it when you can’t. Strange.

here’s the response I got. I even sent them that part of the listing and they said no. What a great way to ruin a nice set of taillights. The animation is so tacky.
