    Sunvisor extension

    The second solution that I have not yet fully tried is the TuckVisor. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Y8KKJ93?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details These come in three different models: TuckVisor Tinted (what I have) TuckVisor Blackout ClingVisor Tinted (static cling) Pros: Fits well with...

    Sunvisor extension

    I too have been unsatisfied with the sun visors in my 2016 MS for a while. The visors always seem to be slightly not tall enough for the low sun in late afternoon/early evening. Also when swung to the side windows, the visors do not block the full window's width, leaving a gap between the...

    Extra ventilation for dog in rear compartment

    Unfortunately the fans do not power on automatically- I have to press the power button and turn up the fan speed. It's a little annoying, but I started to get used to it during road trips as something to do before taking off from a SC stop. This looks like the best alternative fan...

    How many of you had Door handle issues on your Model S?

    Twice: Front driver's door handle would not retract and would not engage the latch when pulled. Then about a year later the front passenger side door handle would not present. Luckily these both happened when it was under warranty.

    Firestone couldn't do wheel alignment on Tesla

    If I remember correctly from a conversation with a Goodyear store manager while back... They are able to measure the alignment with no issue, but to make the alignment adjustments, some panels underneath the vehicle need to be removed to allow access which can be time consuming for the...

    What car wax do you use?

    I would like to try your method for "washing" and waxing. When you spray with distilled water, what type of sprayer do you use?

    Tesla now repairing MCU1 with a new Tegra card for less than $500

    Ah, I must have missed that when resetting profiles, etc. It's been a while since I set those up... Thanks, it works now!! That would explain it. I noticed it taking longer to load prior to my daughterboard being replaced (even noted the issue in my service request) and I assumed it was...

    Tesla now repairing MCU1 with a new Tegra card for less than $500

    I had my daughterboard replaced last Friday ($214 labor and $120 in parts 2728212-S0-B) and since then I have noticed two odd issues... 1) Almost every time I enter the car, the IC is black and takes ~10 to 15 seconds to come alive. I don't remember it acting this way before, seemed to come on...

    Goodyear Eagle Touring tires worn out at 25k miles

    I've had quite good luck with the Goodyear Eagle RS-A2. I was able to get 36,600+ miles / 2.25+ years on my last set (down to the wear bar). And that's even with the terrible roads here in California! I could have coaxed more miles if I had rotated them more regularly...

    Extra ventilation for dog in rear compartment

    Adding a minor update to my original post... After about 2 days, the suction plates' adhesive un-stuck from the walls and the fans fell down :( Undeterred, I decided to remove the foam adhesive from the back of the suction plates and try a more heavy duty adhesive. The old adhesive was a...

    Extra ventilation for dog in rear compartment

    We've had our 2016 MS for almost three years now and have loved every moment of it. The one area for improvement we noticed was for our four-legged "flight engineer" who rides in the rear luggage compartment (dog in the "trunk" just sounds cruel). During our many road trips up and down west...
