    Charging Door Spring Broke

    Good luck, I hope you are more successful than I. when I took mine in about 10 years ago they made a big deal about how difficult it was to repair and that when taking off the body panels to gain access I'd be responsible if they broke anything.

    6 seat owners, any solutions to keep things in the back with third row folded down?

    No disrespect taken 😊. I actually bought it for my dog, then realized it was useful for preventing things from sliding into the main cabin. If I didn't have a dog or I was going to carry heavier things, I'd probably want to get something stronger and more rigid.

    My dog cargo liner works well for hauling things that I don't want to slide into the cabin https://www.tesmanian.com/products/pet-dog-trunk-cargo-liner-for-tesla-model-x

    Today's Roadster Orphan

    I had to drive over 400 miles in my Roadster when I bought it and the only hard part was stopping and waiting for slow chargers. I find it to be decently comfortable if it's not too hot.

    Gruber Roadster shocks?

    I had Nitrons installed on #506 years ago and it was a night and day difference. The standard shocks felt like the battery was going to drop out of the back going over any bump, and the Nitrons felt so much better. Have not tried Gruber's shocks, but I think any change will be a massive upgrade.

    Covering Cover for the original Roadster! Highly recommended

    Nice, it's good to have options. I recently got the 5-layer all climate soft back from Covercraft as it was recommended by some others here. The Covercraft website lets you pick a version with vents and charge port cut out when adding to cart. Looks quite similar to the one in your pictures...

    Colour Change

    My Model 3 wrap didn't last long enough for Tesla to roll out this feature. Oh well =/

    Need soft top or hard carbon fiber top

    Just checked my order history and I purchased the padded hard top bag from Tesla's online store for $250 in Feb 2014 as well.

    Has anyone found/looking for USB C to C cables that fit the wired phone cradle?

    Ah thanks for catching that. I guess the Model 3s that now come with USB-C ports which OP is looking to retrofit also replaced the phone holder with the charging mat?

    Lifetime Premium Connectivity pre-July 2018

    Maybe I'm misreading, but I don't think that is accurate based on the image you posted later. I'm fairly certain that the text in your screenshot that says "Used cars ordered on or after January 9, 2020 are eligible for Premium Connectivity subscription" refers to cars order through Telsa's CPO...

    Lifetime Premium Connectivity pre-July 2018

    I don't think that is accurate. The car should keep it as long as it's sold private party. If it gets sold back to Tesla and Tesla then sells it to someone else through CPO it would lose it. As far as I know, this "sold prior to 6/30/2018" is from Tesla to the first customer. It sounds like...

    Colour Change

    Valid question and has been done. I'm not willing to risk it myself. Tesla Hacker Changes Color of the Model S to Match Wrap
