My Model S 2017 inside rear mirror housing (black, rubber) has becpme very sticky and gummy and cannot be cleaned with plain water. Has anybody had the same situation and can identify remedies for the sticky situation. I'm sure most owners don't place their hands onto the mounting housing...

How hard to take apart and replace all THE LEDS in headlight eyebrow? How to get apart? Is there a YOUTUBE on the process? Tesla wanted $1700 for Ranger to come to house and replace headlight as I am out of warranty. Any other hints?. TIA Hotrodder

I'm trying to add some front end lighting to my 2017 ModelS. Does anybody have experience with adding and electrical connection to the eyebrow lights? I canot find a schematic of the front end electrical connections. I'm looking to tie into any line that would be active while driving. Is...

a) does this stop any of the phantom drain? What happens when you approach the car with yout key fob? do the door handles present? How do you "turn on" the car again... Does the screen activate and do you choose the optionof "ON"? How long does it take to "re-activate " the car? Any...

Is there any problem with placing insulation/reflective material between heat shield and inside of roof glass? I'm using sun shield, but it too gets hot, transmitting heat into the interior. Is there a problem with the glass getting too hot from this scheme and cracking????

I was parked - charging at a WAWA, when the other driver backed across the parking lot into the charging station, destroying it, and in the process ripped the charging cable from the port and caused a fold and cut into the quarter panel. Video indicated that other car never applied brakes until...

Things have not gotten better!!! My MS was at charging station (WAWA) when idiot backed across lot and destroyed Tesla charging station which I was attached to. Ripped put charging block within fender and created small tear area at charging door. Working with authorized Tesla body shop. They...

New display is terrible, and I concur with all of the negative comments above. On MS, Red car, I cannot see if brake lights are on, and the third light is invisible on the UI. Hard to define where the car is relative to the road markings! New UI requires focus on the display rather than the...

soooo disappointed! My MCU1 won't have the Netflix, Caroake, etc.. Elon has left out the over 200,000 cars manufactured before Aug of 2017, with no chance of new updates. my resale value has just plummeted!!!! Will the HW3 unit when installed ..?how many years from now..? have these updates???

Have to agree with acarney. The temperature inside the car does increase, even with tinting!. I'm in Florida, park outside, and can consistently see temps of 115 and more when parked in sun. Only way I have reduced the inside temperature while parked is with the following: A thermal blanket...

I received the "reduced price" offer, and have responded to Tesla. See below. Tesla Executives; Let’s talk about the "self driving update" you wish me to purchase at the “REDUCED” price. 1) Right now, on auto pilot on secondary roads, if there is a large intersection which I have to go...

I've read that you should be able to "share' a WAZE navigation from your phone to the Tesla Nav Screen by clicking in Waze onto "share" and then "other" and Tesla. After many tries, I've been unsuccessful. Has anybody had success with this sharing of Waze??
