    Model Y Rear Spoiler, Advice

    Is the regular rounded spoiler OEM style version 2 also or only the duckbill version is your latest blow molding manufacturing? I prefer the regular rounded or OEM style but your link on Amazon appears to show it only having the glossy black version. There's no option for carbon fiber or matte...

    Time to DIY PPF!!

    I purchased my precut kit from Northtints on ebay. I don't know if they are still there. The precuts were fairly well designed and had a good fit overall. The only place I had a major issue with was the front bumper and more likely had to do with my lack of skill than the kit itself.

    Time to DIY PPF!!

    My car had about 80 miles on it when I started. I clay bar it because that was the advise a number of PPF installers gave me. Today I backed out of my garage thinking my trunk was shut and did not realize it was still up and scratched the top edge badly. No PPF there. I didn't think to apply...

    Time to DIY PPF!!

    I took three weekends to do my hood, both fenders, headlights, all four doors and front bumper. And a small strip at the rear trunk lip to protect from scratches due to loading and unloading stuff. I skipped the mirrors. Bumper should be done last when you have the most confidence and not...

    Successful retrofit of passenger lumbar on 2021 Model Y

    I guess we know it's possible but we just do not know how your shop did it.

    Successful retrofit of passenger lumbar on 2021 Model Y

    Has anyone tried installing the Hansshow seat massage module to the retrofitted passenger side lumbar controls to see if it bypasses whatever is bricking the controls?

    Successful retrofit of passenger lumbar on 2021 Model Y

    I won't pretend to know what you are doing with the code but is it possible to identify the configuration that works for the driver seat and try those iteratively for the passenger seat? If someone has a working lumbar control in their pre April 2021 build and could let you know what the...

    Successful retrofit of passenger lumbar on 2021 Model Y

    If you are able to figure out how to get the Tesla module working via the toolbox or if you are able to get the BMW module to work, that would be great. Keep us updated.

    Successful retrofit of passenger lumbar on 2021 Model Y

    Just wanted to follow up and see if you successfully pulled this off using the BMW modules? If you did, please provide a step by step is possible. I don't read electric circuitry but can follow pics and written instructions. My wife just realized her lumbar controls don't work anymore...

    Successful retrofit of passenger lumbar on 2021 Model Y

    Mobile service came by for an unrelated minor issue today and took a look at my lumbar controls. The tech was really friendly and helpful and indicated that to change the configuration would require the help of engineering and none of the techs would be able to do it. He was going to ask...

    Successful retrofit of passenger lumbar on 2021 Model Y

    For those of us who retrofitted the car with the right hardware, the seats worked until sometime mid of this year when a software update bricked the seats. Please read through this thread from the start. The OP has already indicated he checked his replacement seat, observed the controller and...

    Successful retrofit of passenger lumbar on 2021 Model Y

    That's just another level of low. If they replaced it with a seat having the hardware, at least change your configuration to indicate it has it. Have you requested the SC to change it for you? Then tweet Elon since he said he wanted to know about service issues.

    Successful retrofit of passenger lumbar on 2021 Model Y

    I know the independent shop wants to ensure they have business but it would be helpful if we understood how they did it. Were you able to get the service center to reactivate your lumbar controls? If so, what exactly did you have to do or say to get them to reactivate it?

    Regrets [Anyone regret trading in their ICE for their Tesla?]

    No regrets for us but then we started with a Prius sometime around 2007, then a Mercedes B class EV around 2016 which had a purported 120 mile range (not even close), then had to switch to an Acura RDX in 2019, because the B class turned out to be a lemon and was bought back after three years...

    Successful retrofit of passenger lumbar on 2021 Model Y

    It would be great if you get it to work. Please post photos and your process. While it would suck for me to dismantle my retrofit and have to redo, it's better than having it totally bricked by Tesla in their infinite wisdom. I'm not on Twitter but since Elon is focused on improving service...
