    Refresh Model S -- Rear Spoiler

    It's been a couple years and so there are a lot more options for spoilers, but I still seem to be having trouble finding one that is the same style as the OEM Plaid spoiler, but not CF. Like the OP, I'd like to find one that is glass black to match the trunk applique and trim. Anyone know of...

    Installing Wall Connector is better than NEMA 14-50

    I'm realizing there's discussion in this thread about indoor vs outdoor installations. I just want to point out that when I say using a Mobile Connector for daily use is fine, I'm talking about for an indoor application. Not sure sure it would hold up for outdoor use.

    40A vs 32A -- Gen 1 vs Gen 2 Mobile Connector

    Good point. In my case, it #4 AWG copper wire running through conduit and I made sure that 3 conductors were run through the conduit.

    40A vs 32A -- Gen 1 vs Gen 2 Mobile Connector

    Is there a way to change the thread title to say Gen 2? Is that something moderators have to do? Or am I just not finding the option?

    40A vs 32A -- Gen 1 vs Gen 2 Mobile Connector

    These are all useful comments. Thanks! After reading your comments, I think it makes sense for me to keep the newer Mobile Charger (Gen 2 I guess?) with the newer car and give up the older 40A mobile connector with the old car. My outlet is a 50A outlet, but when it was installed the wiring...

    40A vs 32A -- Gen 1 vs Gen 2 Mobile Connector

    I have a 2015 Model S 85D and just purchased a 2021 refresh Model S LR. So.... now I have a Gen 1 Mobile Connector from the 2015 that charges at 40A. I was a little surprised to learn that the new Mobile Connector (Gen 3 apparently?) will only charge at up to 32A. I will be selling the 2015...

    Installing Wall Connector is better than NEMA 14-50

    Uhhh because it is fine. I've been charging my 2015 Model S daily this way for numerous years without a single issue. 2000 overnight charge sessions and 100,000 miles and later and not a single issue.

    Upgrade from Model Y to Model S Worth IT?

    Thanks all! Sorry that I ended up turning this thread into a yoke thread. William, I was considering swapping yoke for round wheel (Tesla Service can do this). If I did this, wouldn't the round wheel be adjustable up and down like in other Model S? If so, wouldn't an adjustable round wheel...

    Upgrade from Model Y to Model S Worth IT?

    Great thread. Thanks all. Just curious, why this person says yoke is "safer"? Not sure if vcor is around, but if anyone has insight into what aspect of the yoke would make it safer than round, I'm curious to hear. I'm comparing used refresh S to new MYP and honestly one of the turn offs for...

    Not Available WTB: 2021 Model S (Illinois or nearby state)

    This thread is for the general discussion of the marketplace listing WTB: 2021 Model S (Illinois or nearby state). Please add to the discussion here. I currently drive a 2015 Model S 85D (which I'm willing to sell if I find a car to buy). Looking to get into a newer Model S. Ideally a refresh...

    Black lug nut caps?

    You may have resolved this by now, but I bought the matte black covers from the Tesla service center near me. They showed me 2 different covers, shorter ones and longer ones. It seems different wheels use different length lugs. The shorter ones were what I needed for the lugs on my turbine wheels.
