    FS: Rear Facing seats

    No, some of them are in my car and I'm not removing. You can order all of that from the service center. The hardest part to get is the rear cross-member to reinforce the bumper/frame, but ebay or body shops can get this.

    FS: Rear Facing seats

    I have rear facing seats out of a S85 in good condition. Price around $1000. Shipping will be expensive. Located in Atlanta.

    Fix your door that won't open

    I was only charged $1.82 from the service center for the last one. The previous was similar priced but they didn't even bother charging me. I've had 3 failures fixed (1 under warranty replaced, 2 done myself). My last door just broke and I will replace this weekend. Hopefully the new part...

    AC odor removal and cleaning

    Never had a car with this problem. Started smelling horrible in less than 9 months with my model 3. Local service center has no filters... wonder why? Maybe I'll have a car that doesn't smell like a bad shoe sometime this year.

    Tesla door handle failure - pivot gear (anyone have one I can buy?)

    I’ve replaced 3 myself now out of warranty. Service center isn’t interested in addressing this or helping. It’s painful just to get the gear from them @ < $2. Upside - I can replace them in less than an hour o_O

    Why does Tesla use a Resistance Heater instead of Heat Pump

    Also keep in mind charging produces excess heat. Charging by itself will warm the pack a good bit faster.

    Louvers not opening during supercharging

    Got my car back. They replaced the 'Active Louvre Assembly - Right (1007269-00-F)' on Goodwill (I am out of warranty at this point). We'll have to see how things work out on my next trip.

    Louvers not opening during supercharging

    I never heard back from Tesla's 'reviewing my logs and getting back to me'. Since then it worked fine for one trip day. Other trips the louvers did not open at all. It was hot outside and similar %soc so I would have expected similar behaviors. It's going into the service center tomorrow...

    Atlanta, GA Waiting Room

    August 2018 was the manufacture date. I had my VIN for a maybe 10 days prior.

    Atlanta, GA Waiting Room

    Just received mine from Decatur on Sunday (9/9). Awesome car so far. The outside was much dirtier than I expected for a delivery. Had a few glue bits on windows inside which needed to be cleaned. Besides that everything was quick and painless. No other concerns with the car so far. Go...

    AutoPilot Buddy now officially banned in USA!

    Was also put in auto-pilot jail for holding with one hand over a 2 hour trip. Luckily it was 10 minutes from the destination so I didn't make an extra stop to get out of jail. I do find it much more annoying than original. I constantly am doing drives where it beeps at me once or twice. On a...

    Louvers not opening during supercharging

    Well, I called service and they said they would pull the logs. Haven't heard anything for a few days; it has been a holiday weekend. I did another long leg of the trip with 3 superchargers and the louvers did open for every leg and charging was at full speed the entire time. I'm starting to...

    Louvers not opening during supercharging

    Thanks. When the outside temperature is 80F or warmer it starts at 118 kW and quickly drops to 60-66kW. It stays there until normal tapering. Moving stalls doesn't make it better. This is pretty much every supercharge in daytime (hot). I watched the last few times and didn't see them...

    Louvers not opening during supercharging

    Most of the time (last few weeks) it charges, fans on louvers closed. Sometimes fans are very loud. Anything to try besides talking to service center? (I am not rooted)

    Louvers not opening during supercharging

    I assume the louvers should open during supercharging. Anyone had an issue like this? Outside temperature is 85F. Charging at 60 kW at 25% battery. :( 2014 s85.
