    Drop-In Center Console now in the Tesla Model S online store

    A few recent commenters have asked about the stability of the CCI in extreme conditions, given that it is not bolted to the interior. In the Sponsor's section of TMC, there's a very long thread started in late 2012 that addresses the evolution of the CCI from an early idea to a product. Most...

    Drop-In Center Console now in the Tesla Model S online store

    Quick comparison A good comparison table can be found here. Let me be as objective as possible (given that I'm the guy who designed and now builds the CCI). Both the Tesla Premium Center Console (a.k.a. Drop In) and the EVannex CCI get the job done. The CCI form factor and overall...

    Carbon Fiber B Pillar panel overlays

    The three packages include a nose cone package (CF for the area framing the Tesla "T" inside the chrome frame, an area in the middle of the nose cone with new chrome frame and the top of the air dam 'splitter'), an upper body package (this includes the B-pillars and CF accents for the door...

    Carbon Fiber B Pillar panel overlays

    We've been prototyping the B-pillar (and similar CF pieces for other parts of the Model S) for a while, so I might have more insight into removal than most. First to installation: Artsci installed the CF B-pillar correctly -- that is incrementally. Pull some of the red backing off, but not...

    Soflauthor's Artistic Tribute to the Model S - SOLD

    Our Driving the Future (DTF) sculpture has been very well received and is now in the homes/offices of Model S owners throughout North America and Europe. In addition, I was honored to have DTF exhibited as an artwork at the Elliott Museum. The museum show was entitled "The Art of the Electric...

    Soflauthor's Artistic Tribute to the Model S - SOLD

    Soflauthor's Artistic Tribute to the Model S A number of forum members have suggested privately that I start a separate thread, rather than embedding a discussion of "Driving the Future" in the CCI thread. So ... here's the post I placed in the CCI thread last week as the lead to a separate...

    21" Silver Turbine Wheels, OEM, No TPMS, $1000, will ship

    I have a set of four (4) OEM 21” silver turbine wheels that I’d like to sell. They are offered without TPMS or the Tesla center cap. Tires are NOT included. The wheels are in very good condition, but do have minor curb rash that can be easily fixed. In fact, you can powder coat them to any shade...

    Center console

    We've beta tested the CCI for the past 5 months in my Model S and in a few others. We have had no reports of rattles or squeaks. In the 5 months I've had it in my car, I haven't heard a single one (in many cases, I turned off the audio system and the air-conditioner while I drove to be sure I...

    Center console

    Hi all, Since the "Soflauthor's CCI" thread is the thread of record for all things CCI, I've posted a few comments over there (post #337) addressing questions noted on this page. Here's the link: Soflauthor's center console insert - Page 34

    Opportunity Console - New Photos, Poll

    We're privately held :) I'm enjoying following this conversation, but can't comment further on the merits of our solution on this thread, except to say that competition is good, and often results in the best product for the consumer. With respect to Larry's comment on a solution offered by...

    Status of Dania Store?

    I agree. I've had my S for over two months and I've never even been aware of heat or too much light coming from the pano roof. Like you, I was convinced I'd need a shade. At this point, I'm not sure I take one even if it was offered for free.

    Is there storage in the center console?

    I suspect I've spent as much time as any owner in and around the center channel area. The short answer is that there is no easy (or even hard) way to use the center tower for front storage (with the except of putting things in the existing cup holders). The number of modifications to the tower...
