I didn't come across these on the forum so I thought I'd post.
Photos are passenger A pillar wiring for the vehicle described in the title.

Feel free to discuss and share what you're seeing in the photos. I'm curious which ports are used for which accessories.
Speaking of, and for comparison, here...

I have found a myriad of reasons to enjoy my new MYLR, but my initial motivation was cost savings. I have zero regrets and love the car. That said, for anyone interested I'll share the costs associated with "fuel" for the first few months and 9,952 miles.

There are certainly other things to consi...

“The Ioniq 5 N will produce 601 horsepower and 545 pound-feet of torque—and it has something called N Grin Boost that raises output to 641 hp.“

Anyone else pumped about this performance EV? I haven’t seen any...

First, I want to acknowledge all the hard work of the Tesla FSD team. Tesla has spent years building a sophisticated vision-only system. And the perception part is very advanced. I am not saying that Tesla Vision is perfect. There are still gaps in the perception system. But I feel like Tesla has bu...

Hello all, this is my second post. Same as before, this will be a long read, enjoy it when you can.

Recently, my Model Y Performance became available for delivery. There's lots of great information in this forum and I wanted to contribute my experience. Overall, this was by far the best dealership experience I have had. In the past, I have had Toyota, BMW, and Mercedes. The key reason it was great...

The longstanding Tesla Generation 1 Corded Mobile Connector (CMC) now seems to be officially and truly dead (on the Tesla-USA website). While TMC members are generally knowledgeable about such things, I've seen a great deal of misunderstanding about the various Tesla mobile connectors...

Greetings!

In earlier posts I voiced my disappointment in my 2023 Austin Built Model Y AWD's build quality. Misaligned doors, various squeaks and rattles, and other issues caused me to second guess my purchase, especially after putting up with build issues with my 2018 LR RWD Model 3. You can fin...

There are several potential advantages to using ext4, a Linux filesystem, on an SSD connected to your Tesla in the glove box. The Linux-specific filesystem is journaled, which means it has some protection against data corruption from disconnects. I switched to ext4 as my filesyst...

People buy cars for different reasons. Cool factor, the environment, the cost, the performance, the utility of the vehicle, etc.
