    POLL: vibration felt when slightly accelerating refresh Mode S Plaid or LR

    That's pretty surprising. I have a "refresh" model.

    Quikr Mach 2 hitch rack

    Also, received my Mach2 + 2 add-ons today. While it isn't going on the tesla, it's VERY well built. I've closely inspected the 1up racks at the trail, and I'm glad I went with the Mach2. I do think they could've packed it better, I have a tiny paint chip in the rack from shipping, but I'm going...

    Quikr Mach 2 hitch rack

    Curious how this has held up long term. Those bikes are VERY far away from the actual hitch mounting bolts. I'm not an engineer, but am curious what the torque loads are with the bikes bouncing around. I also am curious if you've had any trunk issues, using straps to lift the bikes to lighten...

    Refreshed Model S - rear seat rattle

    I have a feeling that this is related to the initial design having power rear seat recline. There are extra latches in the rear, that really make no sense unless they intended to have power recline/latching. Due to supply chain/whatever, they went to manual latches.

    Ran off the road while trying to find the horn. Aftermarket horn button options?

    Early refresh the airbag does not push in. On newer S', it does push in, so everyone assumed Tesla would move to a center airbag horn via update. But, that was over a year ago, and nothing

    Ran off the road while trying to find the horn. Aftermarket horn button options?

    I'm fine with the yoke, I am absolutely done with the touch horn button. I was ran off the road at 45mph by someone merging into me, entire time desperately trying to swerve to avoid them while hunting for the horn. I made a service request and the response was basically that they can't add the...

    POLL: vibration felt when slightly accelerating refresh Mode S Plaid or LR

    Zero vibration in my ~9/21 build Long Range. I am very sensitive to vibrations and NVH issues.

    RPM Tesla Updated Carbon Fiber Spoiler

    Ah yeah, zero affiliation with RPM. I'm just saying in general, even if it's available on ebay/alibaba, generally speaking you get better support if buying and paying extra from a local reseller. I didn't know RPM had such a bad reputation. If I had, I would not have given them my business.

    RPM Tesla Updated Carbon Fiber Spoiler

    Their website states this "Our spoilers are not made from imported pre-preg carbon fiber sheets commonly used in wet molding." However, even if made in china, if you get a really bad spoiler odds are that RPM will make it right. Whereas ebay/etc, you're not going to get any help whatsoever...

    RPM Tesla Updated Carbon Fiber Spoiler

    Honestly, no OEM carbon that I've ever seen up close is that great. Ferrari, Ducati, none of it is "perfect". The only way to get really good CF is to go to an aftermarket company that specializes in it.... And you will certainly need to open your wallet wide. I think a lot of the problems with...

    RPM Tesla Updated Carbon Fiber Spoiler

    Also, important to point out in my post above, the 3m promoters are not known to be great for paint. It's ideal if you plan to never remove the spoiler - not great if you want to go back to stock.

    Is there a way to upgrade to the push airbag horn?

    This is probably my only real complaint about my 21 August-ish Model S. The horn placement is outright dangerous. In parking lots I drive with my thumb hovering the capacitive touch horn button. Does Tesla offer an upgrade to a standard style horn?

    RPM Tesla Updated Carbon Fiber Spoiler

    Here's my feedback...... Had I read this thread before ordering it, I probably wouldn't have bought it. That said, I'm glad I did. Mine fits perfectly. Zero gaps. The CF layering could maybe be better, but you would had to have seen a lot of CF to know it. Mine came with one strip of "3m VHB"...

    White vs Cream vs Black interior

    Very long story. I ended up with white and am completely happy with it.
