Looking for a front lip spoiler for my 2017 S Any recommendations? Looking for an aggressive look.

Its unfortunate that different customer service reps at Tesla provide different answers and we as owners need to go through this. I just transferred the ownership of car to my name and the FSD is still there. I am not sure how long do they typically take if they do remove it, so fingers crossed...

Did anyone try retrofitting the refreshed 2021 Model S bumper on previous year models? I need to get the front bumper on my 2017 model S replaced due to the damage. Checking if the new bumper can work as replacement

Hi Steve Did you do this step when you transferred ownership to your name? I haven't seen this before. Looks new.

I just called the tesla customer service. They said the FSD will be removed if the car ever touched Tesla inventory or wholesale inventory. If the car is purchased from original owner directly, then it is transferable. If it is purchased from a dealer (wholesale inventory), then it is not...

I rarely use supercharger so that's not a big concern. But I think at some point I do have to transfer ownership to schedule service appointments.

Hi Guys I just bought a used Model S from a dealer. Vehicle was traded in to the dealer from original owner. It has FSD currently. I am skeptical to transfer ownership to my name in the app. Do you think there is any chance Tesla might remove FSD if I get the ownership transferred to me and add...

Thanks for the suggestion on Satin Black, looks awesome. Just done with my installation.

Hi Ostrichsak Black bumper in the front of your car. Is that something you installed? Also the piece below the doors on my car is red whereas you have black (which looks better). Thanks Satya

Makes sense. Thanks guys. I just got the kit from Nikolapro and started installing. Will post pictures once I am done.

Thanks Ostrichsak. Did you use a DIY kit or got it done by a professional? If you used a DIY kit, please let me know which one used, Nikolapro or from Teslabros? The kit from Nikolapro seems "relatively" easier to install but it has more seams.

Did anyone do a carbon fiber chrome delete on MC red and have pictures? I want to know if carbon fiber looks better than glossy black. My car already has carbon fiber spoiler and mirror covers.

No, it was not on autopilot. And I did not accidentally press the accelerator. It was the brake pedal and pressing it further down stopped the car, so it is definitely the brake pedal.

Folks I had a scare today when my car accelerated instead of slowing down when I pressed the brake. It stopped when I pressed the brake even harder. This happened as I was approaching a signal. It happened 3 weeks back and I thought it was a minor glitch. But today was definitely scary as I...

Screen replaced.

At least I know this is the only way to get the repair done quickly. Before going to arbitration, the service center was not even willing to talk about it. They cancelled one appointment saying they don't have a fix for it. When I went in for a different service and asked them about it, they...

I am just happy that they couldn't repair mine. If they did and it came back again, I have to go through all this again. Hopefully the new screens don't have this issue.

Yes, I have them. But the intensity varied depending on the light. It was worse as it came out of garage in the morning and then it reduces after driving for a while. You can see the variation in between the first two and last two pics (they are with different background settings, but you can...

Just got an email from Ryan. "I got in touch with service center. Most (like almost all) screens are repairable but it appears yours isn't so we will replace it"

Got this response from service center today. I dropped my car yesterday for the repair. "We are still working on the yellow border for the touchscreen. It hasn't completely removed with the fix that was given to us. We are connecting with engineers to see what the next step is. We will be in...

Will get the car tomorrow.

No, they are not charging for repair

Folks, So I took my car in for the service today. This was the appointment arranged by our good lawyer Ryan. I have told them clearly that the repair should be listed as warranty, but they sent me an invoice an hour later which said that the repair is Good will service. I did not accept the...

I am very confident that its not the heat from sun, but the light. My screen generally has very light yellow border inside the garage and as it comes out of the garage in the morning, it gets super thick yellow.

Thanks for the details. I will keep these points in mind for my call next week. Yes, "not presented for repair" argument is ridiculous. The Manufacturer response form that was sent to me has the same reason - that I did not present the car for repair. I asked the lawyer guy Ryan what the hell...

Why did you accept the invoice with "good will" repair? Basically, you locked yourself out of a free repair should the issue resurface.

At this point, I think only widespread bad press for this issue will force Tesla to act responsibly. Seriously, why do we owners need to go through all this arbitration pain for an issue that should be completely covered under warranty? In fact, this should be addressed after the expiry of...

will the UV treatment take so many days? I thought I can drop my car in the morning and pick it up in the evening.

Here is the update on my case. The lawyer talked to my service center guys. They called me today and setup an appointment for 6th to repair the issue. They mentioned that their engineers will be here on 6th (not sure what the engineers are for). Remember, these are the same guys who until last...

I purchased Model S Full door handle wraps from RPM Tesla. First of all it is not even close to how simple they show in their installation video. Even worse, I quickly realized that these are not full wraps at all. There are two sections of the handle that are completely exposed (one you can...

Are there any cases where the arbitration went in favor of Tesla?

I got the hearing date for my arbitration. Within few hours I got an email from tesla counsel "We received your arbitration request through NCDS/CDSP regarding the yellowing you observe around the touchscreen. As you may know, we’ve dispatched a repair for this concern and we would like to...

Yeah. I filed claim already.

Thanks everyone. Its a bummer :(

I recently purchased used 2017 model S from a private dealer. When the dealer sold the vehicle to me, he said it has autopilot. He said he even confirmed with the service department that the car does have basic autopilot. Now when I contacted tesla customer care to upgrade to FSD, they said...

Updating my very first thread. Its been 3 weeks since i purchased the car. Paint correction, Ceramic coating, power coated wheels and painted calipers. Loving it so far.

Any recommendation for wheel caps? I think it will look good with a red logo on black cap.

Went with Gloss. Very happy with the results. Thanks everyone.

Some people are saying we should just wait and live with it until Tesla is ready to fix it. How can I live with this monstrosity? It is getting worse. Previously it was seen prominently only on the day setting. Now in the night setting, it is even worse.

Wow. Where did you get those wheels? Looks awesome.

I dont think location matters. I am in california. They said they don't have an ETA for the fix. My case for arbitration got accepted as well. I chose teleconferencing.

Great, Thanks. Chose Gloss black.

Thank you.

Satin black or gloss black? I am considering these options for model red MC Model S

Hi Which color looks better on red car? Satin black or Glossy black?

I recently bought a used 2017 Model S (red color). I am thinking of getting the wheels powder coated. I am thinking of satin black or glossy black. based on your personal experience, can anyone please recommend what color wheels look good on a red car?

Got it. Thanks

can anyone please share how to start the arbitration process? When I asked the service center regarding this issue on my screen, they offered me two options. Pay for the screen or wait for six months until fix is available. This is today.
