    Washer nozzle upgrade for new Model S

    First time using the sprayer on my new 23 S and got very much the same results. After reading some threads here I’m convinced the nozzles must be partially clogged, so I’m going to do some more investigating before putting in a service request. Does Tesla even bother to test these things when...

    Battery Pack Extender - Drop in Truck Bed

    I guess it’s time to dust off this old thread now that there have been patents filed for it and it was mentioned at the release of the cyber truck.

    Confusing AC charging issue on late 2016 90D S

    Not sure what your question is here. Sounds like you’ve correctly identified the problem and your third party shop was not able to fix it. The obvious solution is to pay the 3k CAD and replace the charger. I doubt there is anyone on this forum who can cheaply tell you how to fix a burnt circuit...

    "Proactive" 12v battery replacement - good idea or overkill?

    I have a late 2016 S. 90D with 75k miles that still has original 12v battery, never a seconds problem. I read here of batteries failing at one or two years. Is that an anomaly or is mine the outlier?

    ThunderTruck Concept

    I’m a 2016 model S owner with a lightning reservation. I’ve tried to learn to like the look of CT but just can’t get there. Not even close, to fugly. However, the thunderstruck i would buy. Certainly Tesla has a designer who could come up with something far better than the CT as presented...

    Model S/X Yoke steering wheel upgrade

    Wait a minute. If you’re saying these wheels are completely interchangeable, why can’t the few people who are buying the new S that hate the yoke do a reverse upgrade back to round?

    Nannypilot Killed the Autopilot Star

    2016 90D with AP2. Both the previous comments are correct, although the point can be made, just because you can, should you? Elon has been a master at selling what the future will be at today’s prices in perpetual Beta mode. It has always amazed me that he has gotten away with it. And the stock...

    Used car nightmare

    I too would like to know what happened. I can see Tesla’s point that the damage could have been caused by OP, but if that were the case the plastic cover would have been showing a lot of damage. Sadly, Tesla won’t let anyone inspect their car before purchase so you have to trust a company which...

    Cybertruck design/features

    I’m sure you’re correct about this. However, when I bought my S years ago I bought the bigger battery for the range which I do use sometimes, but only when I travel, maybe 3 or 4 times a year. The rest of the time I’m carrying around a lot of extra weight. My guess Is a lot of people will do the...

    Cybertruck design/features

    I would really like a pickup that has a short range battery with the ability to set an auxiliary unit on the bed for long distance or extra trailer towing capacity. A couple different sizes would be nice as well as a good size inverter integrated so it can be used on job site as a app. Build it...
