    Tesla Model S retractable roof noise

    Follow up - Tesla said that it probably needed a "roof rebuild" and that they wont know if it needs a full rebuild until it gets in and they dig into it. They said a full rebuild would cost around $4k. I reminded them that I had the extended warranty, for which their system didnt show. After...

    Tesla Model S retractable roof noise

    I’m going to schedule service with Tesla, but curious if anyone has ever experienced this noise with their roof on their MS? I’ll post findings from Tesla when complete.

    Model 3 Trunk won’t open [aftermarket powered trunk kit installed]

    Ok, I think it is definitely the controller unit. I disconnected the Y cable in the hatch and connected the power from Tesla directly to the handle. I was then able to open the trunk through normal factory processes. I then reconnected to the Y cable and tested the purple connector, which...

    Model 3 Trunk won’t open [aftermarket powered trunk kit installed]

    I installed the TeslaOffer electric trunk lift gate system (similar to hannshow) about 2 years ago and it has worked great. It stopped working the other day for no apparent reason. I cannot open/close from screen, app and can’t open from handle on trunk. I can only open by opening seat back...

    What is this part called?

    2015 Model S - Anyone know what this part is called and why it comes off? I can’t get it back on so I am thinking I need to buy a replacement and give that a shot.

    2020.12.5 software update issue

    I figured it out...I was using the Tesla Roadie to store/view Dashcam footage. I took it out and replaced it with a different memory stick (formatted for fat32 w/Teslacam folder and it worked. It looks like the roadie either doesn’t work with this software update or somehow the software update...

    2020.12.5 Update issue w/Sentry Viewer

    Not sure...that’s my point I think something got jacked up during the install. I submitted a repair request into Tesla. I suspect they will probably have to re-push and reinstall the update. I will update the post as I learn more.

    2020.12.5 Update issue w/Sentry Viewer

    While updating my ‘18 M3 to 2020.12.5 software I never received the update complete message. When I went to the car, it wouldn’t turn on. I performed a reboot from steering wheel and the car turned on. It showed the 2020.12.5 release notes, including the new dashcam viewer, however when I click...

    Anybody bought from Taptes?

    I purchased white seat covers to cover white seat that had a stain I couldn’t get out (tried absolutely everything), which btw I am convinced I am the only person on the planet with this issue, after 2 months of no shipping/delivery and no response to email I disputed the charge with my bank...

    Ultra White vegan leather stains

    My wife’s 4 month old model 3 has stains on the driver seat we believe they are from her suede jacket, but not sure. We have tried all of the following with no luck. Since none of the cleaners ever listed on this forum or Tesla forum work, what other options do we have (dye, replace, something...

    DRL wire for lighted T?

    I am trying to find the correct wire on the headlamp assembly to connect the front lighted T so they come on when DRLs are on on a 2015 Model S. The instructions say to connect to the red wire with white stripe for headlight power or the orange wire with black stripe for DRL power. I cannot find...
