I am on my second Tesla, having had an MS60 from 2013 till I purchased a new 2020 Long Range Plus Model X in Fall of 2020. In my 11th year in a Tesla, I am committed. But I am frustrated with Tesla body repair. I was stopped in traffic on I-75 two weeks ago and rear ended at a fairly slow...

I have a late 2020 Model X LRP with ~30k miles on it, in like new shape. I have a good friend who has a 2023 MX with the new center console. I would really like to install the 2023 center console with the dual inductive charging stations into my 2020 Model X. I believe there is enough room...

I am on my second Tesla, a 2021 Model X, the first a 2013 MS60. My problem is with the door alarms. My wife has advancing Parkinson's and frequently likes to wait in the care while I grocery shop etc. But then she wants to get out and move around the parking lot for a short walk before I get...

I have a 2020 Model X Extended Range. I like the center console USB port for use in the security system. I have installed three consecutive jump drives, but each one crashes after a few days. They appear to format just fine. No other problems noted. I love the car, my second Tesla after I...

2013 Tesla MS60, all current software updates, 57k miles My 2013 Model S 60 has developed a moving area of discoloration on the screen. I do not believe that it is the screen itself since the normal area moves around when the vehicle is in motion. There is a somewhat rectangular area which...

I went directly into the 12v battery and have experienced no problems. I nave never tried to limit my output power, except when using DStar via a ZumMobil and my hot spot when I use as little power as possible. Like most hams, I do more listening than talking. I remember that in the days of...

I did the same thing mounting an Icom ID-5100 in my 2013 MS60 three years ago. I used the through the glass antenna from Larsen to avoid penetrating Tesla metal, and was able to dress the antenna feed line unobtrusively to where the control head is mounted in my frunk (My frunk is the much...

I am in my fifth year with my 2013 MS60, and find very little to hate. But I have some aggravations! 1. Getting in and out of the car is a real pain. Still.... I am 6 feet tall and in excellent health. 2. No grab handles near the doors. 3. Minimal integration with IPhone. Would love...

After all of the posts concerning transponders, and my need to use two of them---the Georgia PeachPass and my second home gated community north of Atlanta---, I solved the problem with no visible change on my Tesla. The Atlanta service center has attached the transponders (similar to the one...

I sold a 2002 BMW 540i to get the Tesla, and enjoy the Tesla immensely. I neither need nor care for the SUV box configuration (have a 4dr. jeep wrangler for my offroad/hunting truck). I don't have the adjustable suspension in my Tesla. I don't have any back issues, and don't have a problem...

I agree with many others on this thread, that getting in and out of the thing is a major functional requirement. And although my wife and I are not overweight by any means, we are 65, and clearly not as limber as we used to be. I hope that Tesla did not intend to exclude customers who may not...

I like the idea of creating a profile to get in and out. Will try that. But don't think that will help the wife on the right side....

I have seen a thread here on the forum on the lack of an interior coat hook, but my problem on my new Model S60 is a bit different. It is just difficult, and almost painful to get in and out of the car without any grab bar! I am 6 feet at 185, my wife is 5'8" at 150 (neither of us is heavy)...
