For Refresh Model S Palladium: I pulled out my 15x15" under frunk HEPA filter and smell went away right away, after driving with no filter for a few days; night and day difference right away. Tesla now sells just the 15x15 under the frunk bio hepa filter, and you no longer have to buy the...

For the Model S Refresh - I pulled the under frunk biodefense HEPA filter out, and the vinegar smelly sock/poop smell went away right away. Good news is that while the HEPA housing used to cost $500, tesla sells the filter assembly only for $115+tax over the counter. This is the 15x15" large...

enable push notifications Thanks guys, agreed it really seems superficial. Im still kicking myself for not having my pucks with me - but oh well ;)

Hello model s’perts (experts)! Just had a local tire shop fix a bad mount and balance job. During lift, they didn’t use pucks and the edges of the lift did some apparently minor damage to the surface of the battery edge. if it’s just superficial, then I am not worried about it. There are...

Same issues here....many service appointments they say nothing wrong or cant duplicate or its fine. It sounds like *sugar*.

It smelled like an alcoholic homeless bum with vinegar and dirty stocks, nearly vomit inducing smell that lasted a long time

Quoted nearly $600 to replace a 21' model s HEPA filter under the frunk at the New York service center. No good will offered for the poor design. Looking into one of the cheaper options listed in this thread! Thanks for the great ideas

After 2 years of trying to get this fixed on my Model S refresh - I asked Tesla to buy back the car as a lemon or buy back directly. Tesla spent the last 5 months blaming me for damaging the seat as they found a small piece of garbage under the seat; and after multiple complaints they agreed...

great video man thanks Dandrum76

Just installed today $60 shipped from the bay; took 1 hour to install and tuck on corners. My service center just told me October for new yoke release, so this will hold me over until new tesla oem material available. Pretty nice quality

Good point, As this is my first wrap job I didn’t even know about pre-cut sheets being a thing. About $7k for the partial wrap on front bumper, hood, fenders along with 7 year ceramic coating…figured it Would be Thanks this was my first car and I’m new to the wrap game! Didn’t know difference...

Hello fellow Tesla members! Curious if anyone has any feedback regarding XPEL Wrap on the refresh Model S. I paid about $8k for bumper, hood, fender impact area, along with ceramic coating in Albany NY. This was done 2 years ago, and had the bumper rewrapped 2x since then - I actually...

Tesla has been very backed up and will recommend you to a collision center most likely. However, as someone who had their front bumper swapped out on a Model S refresh by Tesla service multiple times: Initial damage on delivery and then multiple attempts by tesla to install without damaging...

Most shops will have a company “refinish” wheels, likely will never replace with new. Cost is about $600 for 4 wheels, I had similar issue when Goodyear chipped paint in every rim during tire swap on one of my SUVs during first tire change.

It is illegal for tesla to void warranty like that. It’s often posted on a sign in most repair shops. Tesla won’t have to warranty the dash trim after that, but rest of car will remain under warranty
