So my car is getting a Rear Right replacement air strut due to clunking noises over 7-25mph dips/uneven roads, and I'm wondering if what I noticed looking under the car is relevant? This is the problem strut (probably the strut, anyway... Tesla won't really know till they replace it), and there...

This thread is for the general discussion of the marketplace listing FOR SALE: OEM 21" Arachnid Wheels and PS4S Tires. Please add to the discussion here.

Got in my car today, with the screen already facing toward me, and was greeted with this message when I opened the default settings page. Never seen this before! Holding down the on-screen button, the screen moved left and right while making some pretty awful noises as it got to the end of its...

Seriously, every day I get into my car and reverse out, I'm greeted with this stupid Let Me Show You How To Use Your Car - prompt, which, by the way, makes it so you can't interact with any of the buttons for a second. Oof, just gets my goat...

Why? Because you can do this when parked or for getting in and out. This is amazing. I’m also pretty much perplexed that it took me 2 years to figure this out… 🤦🏻‍♂️ I’m 6’5.5” (yes, every half inch counts). Before: After: Seriously, chillaxing in the car or getting in and out is...

Serious question: How does anyone watch anything in any serious manner in their Tesla? For example, the frame-rate is so poor/uneven it's maddening. For something advertised as the best place to watch movies etc, I'm amazed there's been zero improvement for this over the years. It was bad in...

I don't feel like my trunk used to do this, and Tesla will say it's within spec. Just wondering if anyone else has seen this sort of small rebound when the trunk finishes opening. I've tried resetting the limit in different places, and no matter where - it always rebounds a little. As mentioned...

So, I wasn't planning on driving a Lucid Air today, but I happened across the showroom, popped inside, checked it out - and went for a drive. Thursdays can be like that. So here we are, the Lucid Air Grand Touring (819hp) vs my 2022 Tesla Model S (Plaid, in my case). Looks: 1.) So I don't love...

This is an odd one. Tesla tells me that 42 PSI is recommended for the Model S refresh. But the in-car Service tab shows 40 PSI recommended. Is this a new change? Is everyone seeing this change, 2021 and 2022 S?

Never-used trunk liner for the latest refresh Model S. https://shop.tesla.com/product/model-s-all-weather-rear-cargo-liner-set Pickup preferred in Seattle, but will ship at buyer's expense. Just $50. Thanks, all!

Alright… given the absolutely shoddy job Tesla did with the housing for the swivel mechanism and that it’s just plastic allowed to rattle around (most noticeable when adjusted toward the driver), what have people come up with in terms of quieting down the plastic trim? It’s terrible how much it...

2022 Model S. Has anyone else experienced this issue? It creaks under the most gentle of accelerating or braking, or if I just push back into the seat manually. Driving me crazy… Just started doing this at about 200 miles on the odometer. Cheers, all.

Of course this was some software hack or uncork but even so… Wow.

For sale: For 2021/2022 Model S/Plaid original Tesla all-weather floor mats for front and back, + Tesla all-weather trunk mat. $150 local pickup in Seattle. These are like new (just sprayed the dust off the front set for the pics). Thanks, all.

So this is sort of interesting to me, and I can't quite explain it, but for those of you with a 2022 Model S with the matrix LED headlights, go check this out! Love to hear your thoughts on this, or what Tesla may have planned for the future.

So just picked up my winter wheel set for my 2021 Model S Plaid from Tesla service. I did not have them mounted on the car. I noticed only one wheel had a weights on it, and the other three did not. I asked, and they did not seem concerned, and the service advisor told me this happens if the...

Just checking in on this. Tesla offered their winter wheel and tire package on December 6, 2021. Has anyone actually received this package yet? Cheers, all.

I just don't understand Tesla at all. You'd think they'd want as much feedback as is possible, especially from their slower-selling/delivering vehicles like the new Model S. And yet, here I am, stuck on 2021.36.8.6 (FSD BETA 10.4). There's only one car on this version, as per TeslaFi. I've...

This has been driving me a bit crazy for a while. If I unlock my phone, I can then see oh yes, I have a notification from Tesla that my car is charged, or that the car has hit my set temperature inside etc, or that Tesla Service has messaged me, but the problem is I'm not getting alerted that...

For any of you out there getting the new Model S/Model S Plaid and are dumping the 19s, I'd like to pick up a set of those. Feel free to send me a DM! Thank you.

OK so up until this weekend, I'd really not driven in both the rain and cold (40-50F) yet in the Model S. Now that this has happened, the road noise is utterly unbearable, like an intermittent woah-woah-wooooah-wooah-woah sound. My wife picked up on it immediately today (first time she's ridden...

Anyone else wish we could set the level of heat for the steering yoke? I find it gets way too warm for me, so I end up shutting it off after a few minutes of it being on... Be nice if we had three levels like the seats have. (and yes, I know I spelled "yoke" wrong. Thanks, autocorrect!)

About time! Was tired of the wood interior! Also apparently shows white interiors, too.

Hi all, Up for sale is a set of excellent condition Maxpider 3D mats for the Tesla Model 3. I had these in my 2019 Model 3 before switching to a Model S. This includes the front driver + passenger mat, rear passenger mats, trunk mat and frunk mat (only trunk/frunk pictured). For an extra $50...

What are you all seeing for range with the new Model S Plaid? I’m seeing pretty terrible range in mine (21” wheels), at least if we go via the battery percentage drop. e.g. I left the house at 93% (set to 90 but it charged to 93% because….buggy software or whatever). It dropped to 59% as I...

Really surprised - but this fits perfectly, - so that's one mod that I can carry over from the Model 3, woohoo! https://evannex.com/collections/interior-accessories-for-tesla-model-3/products/cup-holder-insert-for-tesla-model-3-y Just a heads up for those that like their cups gripped a bit...

Hi all, I have some new 20" Model 3 Performance wheels + Michelin Pilot Sport 4S + TPMS + Center caps. These were driven ~5-10 miles from the showroom to home, and then removed/stored. I'll also be providing a set of excellent shape Maxpider mats for front row, rear row, frunk and trunk...

Some of the reviews have said that the Plaid S needs just the Arachnid 21” wheels to hit 200mph when Tesla unlocks the functionality. https://www.motortrend.com/news/tesla-model-s-plaid-200-mph/ But on Tesla’s site it says this: “The indicated Plaid top speed requires proper wheels and tires...

So this isn't a full review of any sort, because I have not spent extended periods of time in either the Plaid or Taycan Turbo S - though I do currently own a Model 3 Performance, and have driven and been a passenger in the other two vehicles. First, the Taycan Turbo S: 1.) It looks pretty...

Hey all, Thinking of upgrading my Model 3 Performance to a Model S Plaid. Just trying to get a sense if I would like to make the switch, but would love to see it in person before making the plunge. Any lucky folks in the area and feeling generous - would love to see one! Thank you!

I was over at the Brent Cross (UK) Tesla this week, checking out some Model 3 with the family to get them to convert. I have s 2019 Model 3 Performance in the USA which has soft-touch materials on the entire door, front AND back, and I was surprised to see that the door panels in the 2021 (Made...

I had noticed in the picture of the yoke in Motortrend's article a weird imperfection on it. My neighbor is stalking his new Plaid (he can't get it till Saturday), and I noticed the same imperfection. You think this is the airbag line, and why is it so darn visible...

It's been a while since I've used YouTube in the car, but... jeez... is it me or is it WAY slower to load the app now? Even after a reboot or software update for the car (on 2020.44), it takes what feels like forever to load the app.

Here's a video showing the Model 3 beaten off the line repeatedly. Sure, the Model 3 Performance catches up and overtakes, easily - but beaten by a Polestar off the line? Come on, Elon - it is time, and my wallet is ready! Tesla Model 3 Vs Polestar 2: DRAG RACE (And In REVERSE GEAR) 4K

Hey all, Just wondering if this is a bug with the app or if you need Premium Connectivity for this to work. My wife will often check how I'm doing in traffic etc when I'm on the way home, and as of recently the icon for the car won't move along the map like it used to - it's just stuck in one...

This is a major missing piece getting filled in! Finally! Elon tweets that camerabased speedsign readings is coming soon! : teslamotors

This made me lol today (I’m easily amused these days). If you open your trunk and have the right light you’ll see the trunk “bumpers” leave Mercedes indentations where they hit the car, on both sides.

Seriously. I'm genuinely curious. Once again, today, a lady walked by my car and triggered Sentry. I got back into the car to see there was an event, which happened in the last few seconds of the last file in the 10 minute saved clip. And guess what? There's no more footage after she starts...

I've had this missing since I picked up the car, I assume, but didn't really care enough to get it replaced when I noticed it a few months back. It's some sort of trim piece that I have on one side of the windshield but not on the other. Looks like it covers that "cog"/hinge thingy. Anyone know...

So I’m either losing my mind or something changed here... Previously with FSD, if I was using AP or NoA and wanted to change lane, I used to merely tap the left stalk down or up for left or right lane change. That no longer works. Now you have to push/pull the stalk down/up fully past the...

I love my HomeLink setup, but this should make people quite happy, especially if it’s a geo-location-based solution like HomeLink! Elon Musk on Twitter (lol, I meant “garage”)

Dashcam Viewer in latest firmware : teslamotors Can’t wait!

I realized I might be the only person who uses his index finger to open the door, but it makes way more sense to me this way, and I've always done it this way. If you use your finger, your hand is oriented where you can just push the door with your hand. If you use your thumb, you inevitably...

Go check your cars! Finally! Nearly a year since the last maps update so this is a welcome addition. Living in Seattle, I’m glad to see the new Whole Foods in West Seattle is finally in the maps data. That said, hopefully the mapping data figures out that the West Seattle Bridge is closed for...

Another cost-cutting move, it would appear. The interior of all Model 3 no longer states auto-dimming for the mirrors. Tesla seem keen to keep removing features one by one.

I’m really pleased to see this, as prior to these updates (I can’t say which because I was out of town and barely drove the car during 2020.8 release), these were rendering at around 30fps. Anyway, for HW3 owners, cones and trash bins render at close to 60fps now, which is a welcome addition.

So normally my low-regen (when car is cold) message disappears to the side of the screen to make an "i". It didn't today, and tapping it did nothing. Then I discovered you can actually swipe the notification to the left to make it disappear, or to the right to make it re-appear. If you already...

So, I had just gotten my TapTes dock thingy, so I had been waiting for an opportunity to test out Sentry with it - you know, just to cover all bases and make sure everything is 100%. Don’t want to have an incident to then find out it was never working! Anyway, went out for dinner last night...

So tonight in my Model 3 I hammered on it at 20mph in the cold and wet to see if I could break traction. Well, something happened and the car took away some power for a split second before resuming warp speed. But nothing illuminated on the dash to indicate I had experienced this loss of...

For some reason my car is longer getting artwork from the phone. Occasionally I get no artwork at all, and other times it’s using artwork that is definitely not from the phone. I enclosed my phone’s artwork and the car’s displayed artwork. I’m on 2020.4.1 but it was an issue on 2019.40.50.7...
