My front valance was somehow ripped off the bumper cover, I assume from a parking block. My question - to reattach it, is there a way to take it off and then slide it in and re-secure it, or do I need to take the entire bumper cover off first, attach the valance, and then re-attach the combined...

When you make a request to the service center via app, don't give any specifics, just say that you want someone to go on a test drive with you when you get there. Otherwise you will get some nonsense diagnostic you don't need.

3 yep, this forum is the support group.. 5 if they tap the screen, it will turn back on. You can also tell it to "Stay On" as part of the climate control before you exit the vehicle.

Is there any reason you need to get anything from Tesla for the wheels? There doesn't seem to be anything Tesla specific about the tires/wheels/TPMS.

I have the exact same symptoms and the SC scheduled me for a replacement of just the FR Spring Module. I already had an alignment done and changed all tires and still had the issue. I'm not getting a lot of information from my SC, so I'm nervous that I'm going to pay a lot for the wrong repair...

I've been having an issue with my 2016 S 90D for about 5 months now. Most noticeable at highway speeds, the car kind of feels like it gets blown around, especially when I a drive over a crack or other imperfection in the road. The closest description I can find is tramlining or wandering. The...

I have the opposite issue with the passenger window - if I open it, it won't close unless I also open the door. Looks like some part of the rubber? lining is blocking it and the resistance reverses the motor. I am not sure the same thing could happen in the other direction, but if you haven't...

I had 2 bikes mounted on roof racks and in addition to the big efficiency loss, while mounting, one of the bikes (non e-bike) tipped to the side, the pedal hit my roof glass and cracked it. So I switched to hitch mounted. Later, I was rear-ended while my hitch-mounted rack was on and it...

I run Michelin X Ice on my 90D all winter that I got through my local tire shop. You can also get them from TireRack. Safety depends on your weather conditions of course, but I personally don't have the stones to drive below freezing on sport tires.

I installed the EcoHitch which requires that you take off the entire rear bumper to mount their hitch. Based on what I saw during the job, you will need to take off the bumper to re-mount those sensors. It's a huge pain, but I don't think you have any other option.

The EcoHitch installation involves removing your bumper, torquing the EcoHitch correctly to the frame, and then carving a hole in the little chrome body panel under the car and putting it back together. Having it done by someone with the right tools and a lift is worth it. "Bike rack...

Thanks @SilverSmith for the excellent trunk dimension measurements! I have been looking for exactly that for weeks!

I live in Maryland, not even in our version of mountains. I would never drive any car without snow tires in an area that gets snow. There are countless times snow tires saved my ass. But, here's an n=1 anecdote. One time, at my flat office parking lot, they didn't salt the lot and my 90D, even...

Here's what worked for me to deal with range anxiety: I switched to % mode. ICE cars just tell you how much is left in the tank and even the newer ones with "miles left to fillup" are constantly readjusting through the drive. There's just do much that goes into influencing efficiency. The rated...

We have Amica and even with a collision claim (icy parking lot - needed body work) my 2016 90D is $937/year for collision. I think that's pretty good and have been happy with Amica for many years.
