I experienced the same issue recently with my 2013 Model S, and indeed it is an easy fix (once you manage to finagle the door handle out of the door!). In my case, the motor was pushing the handle out a little too far which made it push the microswitch that normally would detect that the handle...

The F-150 Lightning is quite practical. However, don't be fooled by their nice large Tesla-inspired screen - after living with the Lightning for a while, I can assure you that they're nowhere near Tesla when it comes to user interface! For navigation, they are still using maps designed for tiny...

This thread is for the general discussion of the marketplace listing Want Tesla Gen 2 mobile connector (working or not!). Please add to the discussion here.

I just finished replacing the right rear window regulator in my 2013 85. I believe there might be a difference between the front and rear, and anything after 2020. Not really sure. Anyway, a quick search on ebay did bring up a few results. I bought mine from donut_parts and they also have the...

All finished! Here's a picture of the device. I used a 8-40V buck/boost converter and simply connected the cables to it. Tested and works very well, maintaining a precise 13.8V output while running accessories regardless of the input voltage. This is a fairly easy project if you wish to DIY and...

This should be easily doable with the right DC-DC converter. Finding a suitable one took some research. I've ordered some parts which should arrive this Thursday, and will then will make up a prototype adapter. If we start selling them, it will probably go for about $75 for a converter that...

Today I was planning a road trip and researching the en-route Superchargers on Tesla's website, when I happened to notice that the Supercharger in Anaheim, CA on West Lincoln Avenue is stated to have "GB Compatibility". Anyone know what that means? If you've been to this location, is there...

@Rascoe That was very helpful, thank you! I found the seat heater icon and added it to the panel. Problem solved 😊

Quick update note: it's been more than two years since the fix, and it's still working well. The initial fix with epoxy only held up for a few weeks, but I'm happy to repost that the re-fix via plastic welding proved to be a permanent solution. This should work well for anyone experiencing the...

This is a BIG problem. I tried to schedule a service appointment to fix it, but although they admitted to the issue they said they won't fix it because my "vehicle is operating at intended for its current software configuration." They said they could not revert it to the previous version, and...

As we know, Tesla has been phasing out the Type 2 connector on their Superchargers in favor of the CCS standard. Older vehicles which do not have CCS capability can charge directly at the Type 2 Superchargers. However, can they charge at the new Superchargers which have only CCS cords, simply by...

The CCS plug standard has DC- on the right pin and DC+ on the left pin. Tesla happens to be the reverse. So the pins have to cross over to maintain the correct polarity.

EVSE Adapters is selling them now, with stock in California. To satisfy your curiosity, I've opened up one of these adapters. Where the terminals cross over, there is an insulating material in between. The two little things you see attached to the two thin wires are temperature sensitive...

Sorry for the late response. To clarify, the Supercharger extension cord includes an additional built-in thermal sensor to protect the cord itself while Supercharging. The thermal monitoring of the Tesla Gen 2 adapters is completely independent of this. If you plug in your Mobile Connector...
