    Replacing instrument cluster

    It's good to hear this firsthand! I have often disregarded people's problems with a black instrument cluster to outside sources and not a failure of the PCBA and/or Instrument Cluster. It is also good to know that the Full Reinstall worked from GEN 1 to GEN 2.

    Where to get screen replacement

    It is just a hardware swap for the screen. Remove the old screen and reinstall the new one, no software is required.

    Cool Video from Tesla talking about Drag Strip Mode

    This was a quick well put together video from Tesla about Drag Strip Mode. I wish my P100D would drop the front in Cheetah... Tesla Drag Strip Mode https://www.reeldealev.com/updates/dragstripmode

    Am I crazy to put these tires on 21" Arachnids?

    I did it..they don't look as "sporty" as the Michelin PSS, but are quieter and have good rim protection. I have only driven about 20 miles, but the handling does not seem dramatically different.

    DIY Model S touchscreen replacement

    Anything is possible if you have the time and patience. The part you touch is the glass digitizer, and the bubble underneath is the LOCA (glue/goo) that leaks out from between the digitizer and the LCD screen (the part number you listed). Most people break the glass digitizer trying to remove...

    Am I crazy to put these tires on 21" Arachnids?

    Hankook iON EVO AS they make them in a staggered set 245/35/21 and 265/35/21. I have not found any reviews of them other than the Model 3 guys talking about them and a Youtube video of a guy in Snow saying they are great. I am in Florida and don't plan to leave, so I don't need all seasons, but...

    Door handle broken in odd way

    The common failure points sound like they are still working. We often see the gears breaking on the motor, (which we now carry the complete motors for that reason). But you could always push a Software Re-Install to try and recalibrate the Hall Effect Sensors.

    Model s p85 door handle problem

    You would need to determine which door handle you have first. If it is the original handle, it would likely be the paddle gear. If it is a GEN 3 handle, it is more than likely a broken motor gear. We are working on a solution for the GEN 3 handle motor gear.

    Yellow screen? Force Tesla to Replace it!

    That is weird, NCDS took my case when I was outside of warranty after Tesla tried to drag feet. But I also lost my case with valid arguments and documentation so I guess one might say they didn't really "take my case"

    Bubble on instrument cluster

    You must work for Tesla! lol jk. Yes, you can replace just the bulbs on Pre Facelift cars, but you are correct 2016+ requires new assemblies.

    2022 Tesla Model 3 LR Projector to Matrix headlight retrofit

    This was a roller coaster of a read! I thought someone had it figured out, then we didn't, then someone had something...lol! We just got a set of these Matrix beauties in inventory and I want to put them in an Older Model 3!

    Model 3 RWD Matrix Headlights

    I like the look of the Matrix headlights, we just got a new set in our inventory the other day and they look great! They also have some super neat features. I wish there was a way to retrofit them to a non-matrix car, because I have a feeling they would sell much quicker.

    2019 Model S P100D seats

    I agree with you about the newer seats being uncomfortable. I went from a 15 P85D with the Next Gen seats to an 18 P100D and I am constantly adjusting myself trying to get comfortable. However, I don't road trip this car since I have to pay for outlandish supercharging fees now. 😂

    Yellow screen? Force Tesla to Replace it!

    Not at all. There was no change from taking it to them to picking it up. Arbitration actually denied my claim despite all the evidence of a known common failure. I was also able to question the Tesla attorney during the arbitration and that was fun. Tesla attorney stated it is not a common...

    I replaced my own battery heater

    This was an excellent read, thank you for posting. I recently had this happen and immediately assumed the battery HV contactor had failed, so I had the car towed to Tesla. Then they told me it was the heater, but it would have cost me that to get it towed back. Next time, I will keep remote...

    I agree, I have not seen one like this before, it doesn't appear to have the normal delamination issue. Well, you know where to go if you want a new one!;)

    Bubble on instrument cluster

    Can we play the price is right? If you are going to Tesla my guess is $1600. If you are going to ReelDealEV.com then my guess is $301.

    Instrument cluster black when getting in car; then finally boots up (I do have some of the "leaking/bubbling" behind screen)

    Frank, The instrument cluster bubbles are just cosmetic, there is glue that was used between the display and an extra piece of glass that leaks. This will not cause anything to go blank nor make the car undrivable. The only problem you will have is the goo/glue will leak everywhere and make a...

    Replacing instrument cluster

    Wow, that really did get it. I thought when you were explaining it, it was just the front glass, but that broke the display too..bummer. Well, your new screen is on its way, thanks for updating the thread.

    Replacing instrument cluster

    That is me (ReelDealEV), I only sell the screens. Sorry for the confusion. We were priced around that, but recently lowered prices!

    Replacing instrument cluster

    Unfortunately, the math is not on your side as this one will more than likely fail as well. The extra piece of glass that Tesla used on the Gen 1's and early Gen 2's fails, it is just a matter of time. The screens that we sell do not have the extra glass, so they will not bubble.

    Instrument Cluster - ReelDealEV.com - Good?

    @kirkhilles hopefully you received the positive recommendations needed. Thanks to @fultonpub for the support. Just to provide some clarification, our screens do not contain that same glue that leaks from your original Tesla screen, because you are correct, it is an absolute bear to clean.

    How to tell which Instrument Cluster I have? Gen 1 vs Gen 2

    Old post, but good information to have in the internet search! This is one of the most common questions I get. I have found that the easiest way to tell without pulling the whole dash out is to look at the instrument cluster surround. If it has a thick aluminum band around the outside, then it...

    Replacing instrument cluster

    Stephen, that is a GEN 1 screen. Our youtube instructions are for the GEN 2, and most others here are replacing GEN 2. As far as a solution, we could sell you a used PCBA board. But I can't say for certain that it won't need programming, maybe a software person would know this, but more than...

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    We have a couple prices, I sent you a message because I am not a vendor here, I don't want to violate forum policy. Yes it is, it is a pretty simple swap that as far as the car goes, it thinks nothing happened, other than power was off for a little bit.
