    Can you add carbon fiber trim as retrofit?

    There's also this. Not quite a wrap, but more of an overlay. Don't have to deal with any disassembly. If anyone has purchased this, would like to hear how it looks! Accent-I: Interior Dash Trim Appliqué Kit | Aftermarket Accessories for Tesla Model S

    Thanks! I'm not sure if law enforcement would be keen on that idea, though!

    AMPd, yes I did. I had it done when I dechromed everything.

    Alas, new problem: Windshield Stress Fracture. Anyone else?

    count me in. 5500 miles; car 4.5 months old. 2/3 of the way down on the passenger side, starting on the edge. no crater or pitting. does anyone know if Tesla can do a mobile replacement? if not, how long did the replacement take at the service center? thanks in advance.

    12V battery issues (error messages/car charging problems)

    Ditto. They called it a "proactive" 12v battery replacement. Will schedule it in the next week or two.

    Car Care: Controlled experiment - test gloss and durability of the top paint finishes

    thanks. the majority of the blemishes (swirls, holograms) were from dealer prep. i've had my car for about 10 weeks and have only done the 2 bucket method car wash since i had it delivered.

    Model S - Window Tinting

    Sweet. Thanks. I've heard good things about 3M Crystalline as well, but some guys on this forum have noticed a reddish hue.

    Model S - Window Tinting

    Yup, I got H.O. Ceramic on all the windows, except the windshield. I love it. No haze, bluish discoloration, with excellent optical clarity. No receptions issues at all. I'm considering getting the windshield done as well, down the road. Do any of your cars have the windshield tinted?

    Opinion on carbon fiber wrap for nose cone and rear valance

    Thanks. I never really thought about wrapping that portion. I was just focused on blacking out the chrome. It does have a unique surface. I thought there was someone on this forum that did have it wrapped. I'll try to find it... Here u go...

    Opinion on carbon fiber wrap for nose cone and rear valance

    you should be able to get any chrome on the car wrapped by an experienced installer. i had all my chrome and rear chrome diffuser wrapped with vinyl, no problem. i also had the chrome on the nose cone blacked out as well. unfortunately, i don't have a pic of that, but it can be done! :wink:

    I think my tires are rubbing on the inner fender

    I'm thinking the 255 width may be the issue in the front. Even Elon had 245's in the front (265's in the rear) I believe. Not sure if the profile change would make a huge difference. Jerry33, am I totally off base here?

    Model S - Window Tinting

    I've read H.O. film has the best optical clarity with minimal haziness and bluish hue. Can you confirm? I've narrowed it down to H.O. ceramic or Wincos.

    Wheel Fitment

    Dr. Computer, was wondering if you had any info to help me out. I had this question on a different thread, but I think this thread may be more appropriate... If I want to go with a staggered fitment with aftermarket wheels, does anyone know if 10" for the rear is TOO wide (rubbing issues...

    19" Turbine Wheel Solution

    If I want to go with a staggered fitment with aftermarket wheels, does anyone know if 10" for the rear is TOO wide (rubbing issues, etc)? I'm going 20x8.5 for the front with 245/40/20's. I was considering 265 or 275 for the rears and looks like the majority of 20" wheels come in 8.5" and 10"...

    A little disappointed

    If you are in Southern California, I will be selling my 19"s soon after I take delivery some time in January (will be installing aftermarket wheels). I don't have a delivery window yet. If you're not in Southern California, I'm not sure how much of a pain/cost shipping would be. If you or anyone...

    Thanks a bunch for the detailed experience and the note on the lug nuts. I wasn't aware of the specific lug nuts needed. Btw, what did you end up doing with the OEM19" rims? Sell or keep them? I'm guessing the Tesla service center did not buy them back. xhawk, let us know if your experience...

    19" Turbine Wheel Solution

    Let us know if you are able to have Tesla install your aftermarket wheels before or after you take possession (and also if you are able to have them delivered to the Tesla delivery center). I'm also planning on changing out the stock 19's at the time of delivery, so I'm curious. Thanks, xhawk101!

    Model S December Production email

    Call me crazy, but I ended up deferring for a couple of reasons! For the rare few that deferred delivery to 2013 , does any one know if the original delivery window still gets moved up in 2013? I've emailed Tesla, but no answer as of yet.

    green with grey performance wheels....??

    i was actually thinking the same thing. i'll have to talk to a local shop and see what they can do. my guess, for worst case scenario, they would be able to cover just the outer chrome portion of the handle.

    Model S Exterior: Paint Armor

    So did you order the Tesla Paint Armor option and just have Star Shield remove the 1/3 hood coverage and rewrap the entire hood with the Avery? If you don't mind me asking, how much did they charge?
