    Buffing out paint & scratches on PPF?

    Thanks, for the suggestion. I went at it with paint thinner and with quite a bit of elbow grease was able to get most of it off. Still needs more work, but definitely better. PPF sure did it's job well! I think I'll give the Gyeon Q2M PPF renew, as Kitt 2.0 suggested for the remaining.

    Buffing out paint & scratches on PPF?

    Can anyone recommend how to remove paint that is scratched into PPF? From my quick searching, I know the correct answer is to replace it, but I'm thinking maybe some sort of buffing compound? At least want to give something a try before paying the $ for replacing it. I wish I could blame...

    Thanks. Yup, confirmed that's the issue here.

    2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

    I have it as well on my 2021 refresh. It's faint, but annoying when the environment is quiet. I believe it's the temp sensor, it has a small fan. Here's a thread, where a M3 owner has it. The video posted in that thread sounds exactly like mine does.

    Rear window trim - replace or not?

    Old thread, but just posting that the exact same thing has happened to our Y and had the same concerns. Creating a service request and hoping for the best. :)

    Vendor 【V2 Mud Flaps For Refreshed Model S Arrived】If you purchased V1 and would like a V2 rear mud flaps replacement, PM us!

    Any way to be able to purchase just the fronts? After buying and installing just the rears, I can't take the look of Tesla OEM flaps in front and these on rears....

    MaxPider 3D mats fit Model S refresh?

    Just reviving this thread. I keep checking back for any updates for the trunk under storage mat... Anyone found any options available? (Rear Trunk, bottom storage mat) Thanks!

    Yoke peeling

    Tesla replaced mine last week without a problem. It didn't have much wear, just a small area where the material was coming unglued.

    S Refresh Ventilated seat fan noise

    Had the part replaced. For reference, if anyone needs it: Also had my yoke replaced due to the material coming unglued. Got the new yoke that has the horn facing the other direction. The material seems a bit nicer/softer.

    Wall Plug Over Heat Issue - Better 6-50 Receptable? (Using Mobile Charger)

    Thanks for the information, I will look into it and plan to pay to have a licensed electrician to do the final install and inspection.

    Wall Plug Over Heat Issue - Better 6-50 Receptable? (Using Mobile Charger)

    I was wondering the exact same thing. I've actually been tempted to reinstall the Leviton to test again. Unfortunatly I completely forgot about testing the tightness as I was on a mission to quickly replace the receptacle. I had the family awaiting the power to be restored 🤣 I think I'll try...

    Model S Technical / Mechanical Issues

    Replaced the Leviton 6-50 receptable with a Hubbell brand. Problem resolved! Surprised at the temp drop, as the Hubbell hardly gets to the mid 90's(F). The Leviton receptable looked fine and I had also tried using some Deoxit cleaner on it just to make sure the plug is making good contact...

    Wall Plug Over Heat Issue - Better 6-50 Receptable? (Using Mobile Charger)

    Wow, replaced the 6-50 Leviton with a Hubbell brand and the high wall temp issue has been fixed. The Leviton looked fine, but it sure makes a difference in temp. The Hubbell plug stayed in the low 90's F. :)

    Wall Plug Over Heat Issue - Better 6-50 Receptable? (Using Mobile Charger)

    That got me to thinking, since I have it all logged with TeslaFi. I looked through the charges a year ago, and there were plenty with low voltage, some at 229V but it still charged at 32A. So at least that should definitely rule out low voltage being an issue.
  17. GroovaEV

    Wall Plug Over Heat Issue - Better 6-50 Receptable? (Using Mobile Charger)

    Yes, I was thinking the same thing about the neutral wire... Thank you for the part number for the Hubbell. I feel a bit silly for not finding that previously! Troubleshooting this issue has been on my to-do list for the past year but never had time to fully focus on it. Thank you for...

    I've been using mobile chargers and with a 6-50 installed in our garage for the past 3 years to charge our two Tesla's. (Currently '22 Model Y & '21 S) However, only during this past year, the amps has been dropping to 16A during charging. I've been receiving the "wall plug temperature too high...

    S Refresh Ventilated seat fan noise

    Has anyone experienced (and had fixed) a noise coming from the ventilated seat fan? Sounds like if you were drop a screw into a spinning fan. Such as here: 20220806_173336.mp4 It seems like it would be an obvious fix but I really hesitate taking my car in for service for fear of causing more...

    Model S Technical / Mechanical Issues

    Oh! I've been having this problem ever since I got my S Plaid refresh (2021) a year ago. Since it never got fixed with software by now, I thought I better start troubleshooting with a different charger and using with a different Tesla to see if it still happens. Does it happen even if you aren't...

    MaxPider 3D mats fit Model S refresh?

    Got the 3D MaxPider KAGU matts for the trunk. Also not happy with it not having separate cutout for the side cubby. It's a bit of a pain to get to the subtrunk. Unlike the same mats in our Y. At least the trunk is now protected....

    My experience trying to clean the grime off the glass with an Orbital Polisher

    I was trying panel wipe, but it didn't seem to do anything at all. I then tried G4 Nanotech Glass polish and that's what worked. It's expensive and there may be better/cheaper option out there but it's what I had and it worked. I did use panel wipe after the G4 though. I then put on G1 (if I...

    My experience trying to clean the grime off the glass with an Orbital Polisher

    Yes, good tip. I eventually learned that and ended up doing a portion of the Y's windshield before I got burned out from detailing. ;)

    My experience trying to clean the grime off the glass with an Orbital Polisher

    This is a pretty useless post, but just thought I'd post that if you plan on cleaning your glass with a Orbital Polisher, might want to do that first before detailing the rest of the car. Granted, I had no experience with a orbital polisher and probably used way too much G4 cleaner.... I spent 1...

    Model S Refresh Mud/Splash Guards

    Do you think this material would be too hard to cut with a sharp carpenter knife? I don't have access to a jigsaw but I also don't want to make some janky (is that a word?) looking flaps by butchering them, ;) I just installed the front OEM ones, haven't driven on them yet. It was the first...

    Model S Refresh Mud/Splash Guards

    Looks awesome! I can't wait to have them on my S, but I'm in the camp of being hesitant about drilling/installing. Although it's probably justified as I'm completely useless with anything mechanical. Oh and you don't want to see any home "improvement" projects I've attempted. 😅 If I can do...
