Ah, got it. I just ruled out T30 again on mine, so this must be it. Thanks again!

I was just about to reply to @VectraT to thank him or her for confirming my original suspicion, and now this, lol. It certainly feels like it's one of those 3 (5/32,T25, or T30) and I am still inclined to doubt the first and the last just doesn't seem to fit. I've been trying to get a good pic...

I did not.

No one knows what size Torx you need to remove the two screws from the back of the steering wheel? Still finding zero info online, which is crazy to me. Looks like the refresh uses four T27 screws, but can't find anything on the 2017-2022 range models.

I feel like this is a dumb question but I Googled it and I can't find consistent answers. Some people say they are T25, others T27, and honestly I'm not sure either are fitting in mine. Scroll wheel broke and I'm trying to replace it, but I can't get past step one, LOL.

Yep, they got back to me and it looks like about $175 for the fob and $30 to program, give or take. About the same all said and done as what it cost on my newish-model SUV one I add the lower fob cost to the higher programming cost. That said, it's well under the $500/per that I'd been worried...

Just this. My wife lost one fob about a year ago, and somehow I lost the other today while watching Oppenheimer at the theatre. So bummed. Is service still the only way to get a replacement, and are they still a fortune to replace?

Hey @DerbyDave and @EVRider-FL - I appreciate your responses. Unfortunately I didn't get a notification of them, so I guess I'll go check my settings. In any case, I'd definitely tried the key fob update and it said they were good. I'd also replaced the fob battery. Cleared the console area...

Oh yeah, and the key works fine to lock/unlock, and I even tried the Fob Update in the settings and placed my key in the designated area and it tells me my fob is up to date.

So my mid 2018 Model S suddenly started acting differently, as it is refusing to acknowledge the key in the car unless placed in the rear of the console near the USB ports. For 3 years I've been able to have it in my pockets, just about anywhere in the console, on the passenger seat, etc. and...

So I've had my 2018 Model S for 18 months. About 4-6 months ago I noticed the seat was getting lighter in areas in the driver seat base and over the ensuing months it got worse and there was some on the lower back area as well. I just had my car in for some other service and I had them look at...

I just thought I'd provide an update. It took a little longer than I'd have preferred - likely worsened by the holidays, but Tesla was able to get my date corrected and everything appears to be in order now. I'm really pleased.

I'm hoping someone here knows how to actually engage someone at Tesla as I'm a Model S owner that is rapidly becoming disillusioned with this situation even though I love my S and I've been looking at adding a Model X/Y next year. In short, my car was ordered 6/12/18 and I should get...

You, my friend, are a rockstar. I've waited days for someone to answer this for me, and it confirms my suspicions. I think this is going back, and I'll probably go with the black gloss CF though the votes are - few as they are - are almost evenly split so far.

So I have an '18 standard black Model S that I've had done with a satin black\carbon fiber vinyl chrome delete. Most of the chrome was covered in the satin black, but I had them do the black CF vinyl in some areas like the door handles and the side marker covers, as well as the front louvres...
