    Rear trunk won't open

    "Sneak up on the car" while sleeping worked to get it open. Manually closing for now, but going to replace the actuator myself.

    Rear trunk won't open

    Count me in, 2017 100D, out of warranty. I'll follow the video steps to get it open and decide from there whether to attempt DIY or book mobile service.

    Installed a kit to mirror phone on MCU1

    What are you using to feed in audio, and is there a lag?

    Getting a used Tesla, deciding between years VS budget

    I think something like a DU/HV battery failure is more "luck of the draw", but at least they would be covered on a more recent car vs. a nosecone model.

    MCU2 upgrade appointments

    Scheduled on 2/4 and competed on 3/3. I'd push the SC to confirm ETA for parts and escalate if necessary.

    My Model S 85D and Tesla life at 100K miles

    I wouldnt equate it to milage, but to usage. "Driver's Door Unlock" helps - only extends the other door handles when necessary.

    Getting a used Tesla, deciding between years VS budget

    "Fun to drive" is subjective, but I agree that if a 3 suits his/her needs, it should be an option. I need the hatch and space the MS affords.

    My Model S 85D and Tesla life at 100K miles

    Great summary! Last year I sold my 2015 70D with 110K on it. Looking at your summary, it held up well - only 1 door handle replaced, HV battery (failed while in service for eMMC recall), left scroll wheel, and front control arms. Everything was covered under pre-owned warranty (purchased with...

    Getting a used Tesla, deciding between years VS budget

    If AP/tech is important, it's another reason to avoid the nosecone models. For reference, I bought a 2017 100D with EAP and HW3 last year for ~$58K. Just picked it up yesterday from the SC after upgrading to MCU2. Suspension aside, it's about as close as you can get to the current-gen LR model...

    Getting a used Tesla, deciding between years VS budget

    Avoid the older models unless you have a spare $20K laying around for a worst case scenario. 2014's have warranties expiring on HV battery this year.

    I retrofit MCU2, IC2, Tuner2, and FSD Computer into my HW2.0 Car

    @KyleDay - is it possible to retrofit satellite radio into a Tuner2 vehicle without premium audio? I have an infotainment upgrade scheduled for my 2017 MS, but I miss having it integrated in the 2015 I owned previously.

    MCU2 Upgrade and X-Care Auto Concession

    What about broken functionality? For example, my HW3/MCU1 vehicle records broken dashcam video while in motion, rendering the feature almost useless. This can only be solved by upgrading to MCU2. The MCU also reboots frequently, even after daughterboard replacement, and drops BT when switching...
