    75 and 75D variants increased performance from July 1st - software and hardware improvements?

    I feel a bit annoyed by Tesla. Car is 6 months old and they already discontinued my model 60, made many options standard (automated trunk) and now they increased speed. I understand all your arguments about how Tesla constantly updates. But at the end of the day: Am I happy with these changes...

    Escort MAX 360 mount options and questions

    I have the max 2 and its working flawlessley in my model s refresh. I have it mounted on my passenger visor. I used a 9500ix mount and cut two dashes in it and made it slimmer. It now fits in my max 2. I found a youtube video of how to do it. They dont make visor clips for the max 2 so I had to...

    My experience buying a set of staggered Turbines off TMC and dealings with Tesla SC

    Tesla uses staggered wheels? I thought they were all the same size? Staggered means the front and the rear are different sizes correct?

    Windshield mounted radar detector in refreshed Model S

    I can give my opinion on this. I had a 9500ix that I felt was not working properly in the tesla. It was 7 years old so I thought maybe the sensor was going bad. I upgraded to the passport max 2. Range has been great! I made a custom visor clip and put it on the passenger visor.

    XPel Ultimate - Is this a fair price?

    I talked to another tesla owner a few weeks ago. He paid $4500 for full car coverage in socal Xpel IS superior. It wont yellow like 3m material will. I believe its also a thicker film The material is expensive but your paying for the talent required to apply it properly.

    Where to put jack stands on Model S?

    Id like to chime in on this since I spent that past few weeks jacking up my car. I painted by brake calipers and just plastidipped my rims. I also had 2 flat tires. I have literally taken each tire off 4 or 5 times. I was a bit hesitant at the beginning to do what I did since Im not really...

    XPel or 3M or other?

    Xpel is hands down the winner, but very pricey

    60 > 75 Upgrade now $2k

    Power lift gate DIY possible?

    No need to remove the panels to install a new control box. You can put your hand in through the those cups that you remove and just tape it in there and switch out the wires. Leave the old control box in there

    Brake Caliper painter in SoCal?

    I actually ended up doing them myself using the g2 caliper kit. Just finished up! It was super easy. Took about an hour for each side of the car (2 wheels). You do have to wait 2 hours before you can apply decals.

    Software Update 17.17.4

    I agree wifi extenders are complete junk. Iv never had one work properly In your situation, I would go with something higher end. Check out ubiquiti Unifi. They are made to be spread across a home and offer amazing coverage

    Firmware 8.1 - Autopilot HW2

    Failure is at the 14 second mark. Car starts heading toward the divider until I manually take over. It doesn't seem that drastic in the video but while driving it definitely scared me for a second.

    I actually had a problem with AP2 yesterday driving a route iv been taking every day for the past week (carpool lane 405 southbound).

    Replacing cabin air filter on updated Model S

    This is for the model s refresh correct? Seems very complicated. I had previously thought the filter was in the frunk area. Do you have the model number of the cabin filter needed? 6 months in and my AC has begun to have a smell to it when it first turns on

    Upgrade car to LTE or get a mobile hotspot?

    I had a loaner car that had 3g. I would say the 4g is worth the upgrade. I found 3g to be very slow. Searching, playing music, took a bit longer than my 4g car. The browser is slow in all teslas FOR NOW, but they will be coming out with a kernel update soon that will speed things up quite a bit...

    DIY Power Lift gate for Tesla Model S Walkthrough Video

    I think the foot sensor will not happen. Im actually curious if there is a way to add it. Time to google if such an addon exists. It could probably be installed inline with the trunk opener button

    Home made jack pad for Model S

    Took an hour and came out perfect. I used the template and made a little hole at the cross hairs. Used a permanent market to let it bleed through on to the wood. No measuring was needed! I just hope the wood doesnt crack. Not sure if I bought the right one. Its the only 2x3 home depot had

    Thank you Nick_083 for the great template and the time you spent designing it. Im about to start building a couple. I copied the design in illustrator and added some cross hairs on the circles.

    Brake Caliper painter in SoCal?

    Another option I am looking at is just getting the MGP Caliper covers. You can buy them completely blank with no logos. I bought some Tesla high temp vinyls off ebay to just place on there

    Brake Caliper painter in SoCal?

    $1000 is indeed insane. I found someone to do for $300 but they are located an hour away from the san fernando valley. I tried to find someone locally but was unable to. Im thinking of just doing it myself. G2 caliper paint kit seems to be what is recommended. Id stay away from the other...

    MS Door Handle Light add-ons

    The leds Abstract sells are different than the door handles. I actually changed all my leds to Abstracts. It was worth every penny. The door leds on the other hand were not bright at all. I wish someone comes out with an aftermarket version. I would go through the hassle if it was worth it

    MS Door Handle Light add-ons

    I actually purchased the LED lights when I was at the service center. The 2015 loaner car they gave me had the lights. It was the first time I ever saw them. I wasnt impressed at all. They are so dim that it doesnt seem worth it. I returned the led addons. My sisters Lexus RX has lit door...

    If your seat creaks take it in!

    I wonder if we could just figure out what bolt it is and do it ourself . I have a feeling this problem will be popping up again. The build quality is nowhere near other cars iv owned.

    I was surprised how helpful they actually were. I had a piece of leather sticking out of the steering wheel. It was there from the day I picked up. They replaced the entire steering wheel
