Hi @kebel21 , The proper place for the external Ipass license plate transponder is on or in the front bumper. It will not work inside of the car... Many problems with my wife's 2015 S 85 D... I ended up mounting it inside the center of the "nose cone" bumper... I just had to replace it as the...

Hi @JPWX, The list still looks good to me... As someone above mentioned your trailer dealer may be able to help installing things. A time critical item is the Tesla Adapter harness 1072586-00-A It may be available through your Tesla service center. Not something your trailer dealer will...

Hi @JPWX , The brakes on the trailer of this weight have electromagnets to clamp on the disc or to expand the brake shoes to slow the trailer... The controllers help to modulate the amount of electricity sent to the brakes. The Prodigy controllers have a inertial sensor to apply more voltage...

Hi @Kitty_T , I have an odd suggestion for you. There is an app. called “My Battery Health” for sale in the Apple App Store. The price when I bought it was $10 USD. A caution the app developers are in Canada or in France. Some of the instructions are in English or mixed French/English. As a...

Hi All, In OP’s case the GPS in the car could be fouled up… Shawn

Hi All, I have a condo and a HOA in Florida. Good news for me is that it is a small 8 unit building. The HOA are neighbors and were amenable to an installation for an outlet for my car. We do not have deeded parking spaces or any specific spots other than by seniority. I was able to “reserve...

Hi All, WRONG. A bolt is not just a bolt… Standard of the shelf hardware store bolts are usually Grade 5. In the Tesla part number description the 10.9 indicates the grade of the bolts. They are special. The proper torque spec. is 80 ft/lbs. Six threads of engagement is pitiful for what these...

Hi @Jay Kamhi , Sorry for your troubled tires... I have had some flat tire experiences in my Model X. At my (former) favorite Mexican restaurant I found 2 screws and a nail in the same tire! I don't go there any more... Thank you for the pictures of your tires. I don't know if they are before...

Hi @Birdcar , With the vintage of your car you have the Continental TPMS system… It would show a low tire pressure or other symptoms for a single tire. You likely have a TPMS ECU failure. It will not give readings for any tire… The good news is that the ECU is less expensive than a tire...

Hi @mojavedesert , Sorry if I missed it but I did not see whether you have a fob or not and where do you store your phone or your spouse's phone in proximity to the car... If the phone is too close to the car it will never rest or sleep... If your situation is such that the phone(s) have to be...

Tweezers, needle nose pliers, or a Sewing needle Hold the two connectors next to each other and you will see the “extra “ material The “extra “ material needs to be removed… It is interfering with the full engagement of the pins.

Hi @Jsrconst , In line with what @Eric33432 said your car is not sleeping or cannot sleep… Two suggestions while you explore the situation… Turn off Bluetooth while your phone charges in the evening. Your Tesla app will complain that it’s better with Bluetooth on, but it’s not paying the...

Hi, I’m sorry I cannot be more descriptive but it has been a long time since I replaced mine. At the front bottom of the garnish there is another piece of plastic that connects to the garnish with a torx screw. The screw in mine was easily overlooked because the part was full of dirt and road...
