    2018 Model S - WTH two bolts are on the back of the steering wheel?

    Well the tool have to be parallel to the steering shaft, you would like to insert it perpetual to the back of the wheel but it will not set in. If the nut head is actually T25 then usually T30 would not fit… Mine was hanging on the nut while I took the photo. Good luck.

    2023 Model S wheels and tires

    Yes, they will fit as the newer cars have wider rims from factory. Your ‘13 OEM are 8” wide right? The new setup is 9,5” wide so they will be more towards the fender. Both rims have offset 40mm (exept if the new rims are 10,5” with offset 45). Your old rims will be a step inward and you might...

    Risk Manangnent of Buying AP1 Model S

    Tesla Autopilot uses all the sensors available (US sensor’s are in use with parking as well with summon) for Autosteer to work. If one of them has error then you can’t use the system. Quite annoying, but as noter earlier it will be restored with your next drive if no failure - meaning after...

    Bluetooth does not automatically connect entering the car

    Well the legacy S does not have the BT key so it does not affect the entry. But I thought this was because of my phone (non Apple or Android) that my have to follow specific steps to get it seen. I also lost the BT connectivity around the same time as OP but I have MCU1 and there has been no...

    Well it’s 6mm laminated glass so it can stand some weight.

    removed door panel closed door can not open

    Your car might be in that download limbo if the internal memory of the MCU is full. I had this too, I got the recall done and during that fix Tesla had similar issues to upload new map update to the car. Eventually I had to bring the car to service twice to fix that. They made internal change...

    2014 Model S clogged sunroof drain

    I saw that tube end as well when I had a look under the sill and behind the side carpet section. I believe that is different than the roof rail draining tube. I think this is maybe for draining something inside, behind the dashboard. Windshield? You can test your roof rail draining by pouring...

    So the drain tubes on your car are not attached like you see in this post?

    2016 windshield washer pump not working

    I would also be curious as why it was so short time that it worked. I have heard (and did tested with non Tesla washer pumps) that if you can supply higher voltage to test the pump then it will become operational again. You have cordless tools at home, preferably higher than 12V batteries? Hook...

    Model S cargo luggage carrier options

    If you only need luggage storage and you accept to attach them on the roof then there is also easily attachable solutions. See this company.

    Model S Sunroof Cleaner

    You will notice that there are rubber surrounding seals so if you use something for the cleaning then also take extra care to not damage the rubber seals. You can restore the condition of the seals with dedicated products available for rubber and trim.

    Calibrating door handles using new tool

    As already answered the warning was for possible window shattering and that chrome decal damage surrounding the windows. Haven’t see this yet but the handle (or door) should be fine if you cycle the opening-closing a few times to get the operation correct. What was the damaged on your door?

    Calibrating door handles using new tool

    This is actually very easy. Have the Service access on touchscreen active, it states the car has gateway LOCKED. Now hold your foot on the brake pedal and at the same time push and hold the indicator stalk up (as you usually hold it for right turn) at least ten seconds. And Voila, it’s now open...

    2016 windshield washer pump not working

    The pump is connected to a body control module so if you suspect the fuse then you would not have rain sensing and fluid level info. Hope this section of the wiring will help.

    [Fix] Model S door handle presenting but not opening

    So, what is the issue your car has? Did you tried to fix the handle or did you changed the whole unit out? Was the fuse change that did not solved your issue? If you change the handle to new then you might need to let the car know it too. Have a look here, there are some steps to take for it.

    Tesla died in middle of an intersection

    I had similar situation almost four years ago, if I remember it correctly, car is 03/2016 MCU1… This also happened on intersection, it was the time when Tesla had not yet decided to give support. Only third party fix were offered on the memory issue. Anyway, my car suddenly lost throttle on the...

    How do you open the fixed-point roof hinges on a 2016 Model S?

    Before you damage the flaps use automotive silicone oil or similar on the edges and a bit later pry it open. It should be possible with fingernail, if not then use plastic pry tool or small flathead screwdriver. I used it only as pointing device. Are you opening them the right way? See photos:

    Battery Fuse Replacement 2016 Model S 90D

    Here is a short update. My car is now out of the warranty and prior to that I asked the service to look into this false alert and all. I got a reply from the service manager stating the reason the warning was removed was that the car has sand type fuse. All right, mine is 70D, not the fastest...

    Calibrating door handles using new tool

    First NO, you do not have to remove the window! As it was clearly in the video of the front handle you can use some functions of door to move the window out of the way. Yes, one of the nut in the rear handle is usually behind the window IF it’s lowered for opening the door. The most far (rear)...

    removed door panel closed door can not open

    This is the section in the manual that I referred to (see photo). If under the service menu was only “Software Install” option then I would use that CAN ECU option. My point for two option was either partial or full install. Havent yet preformed this myself but will need in near future to get...

    Tesla S 2016 Passenger Door handle no power

    Tesla S 2016 Passenger Door handle no power

    So to get it right, both side of the fuse are fine? You have changed the hadle to whole new unit and it’s installed and it does not function? If so, then are you familiar with the hidden service menu on car? In the menu you can re-deploy current SW so that the new unit will be known to the car.

    Tesla S 2016 Passenger Door handle no power

    Because it’s MICRO3 fuse that has 2 fuse elements. You can check if one side is blown and does this change the behaviour by twisting the fuse (note that if its blown you will eliminate that other side). On the photo that middle blade is with the load.

    removed door panel closed door can not open

    Yes, you can make the physical change and then in the “service” menu re-deploy current SW. There are two options. I haven't yet done this but this is necessary if new units are installed. That full new might take longer…

    removed door panel closed door can not open

    If you succeed to swap it then remember, you also need to upload current SW again to reset the “new to car” unit to be known by the system. There is dedicated section in the Service menu for this.

    removed door panel closed door can not open

    Yes, I had difficulties to inderstand how can’t you open the door manually? On Model S they are manually operated as well electrically. There is shiny metal cable from the handle inside to the latch on the door. If you removed the door panel then you must have removed the cable from the panel...

    Tesla Model S - Parking assist failure fixed for free

    Nice job, was it only that single wire that had the failure? I just wonder how did this failure happened, and you have now covered everything back up. At least you now know how to approach to it.

    Switching BMW X5 G05 40i full option (2019, 150.000 KM or 93.000 miles) to Tesla Model S Raven Long Range 2020 (60.000km)?

    This is strange comparison, why S? There is similar mach - Model X… Are you confident that the garage also knows about EV?

    Occasion, dealer lost spare key, Tips for anti theft?

    “Pin to Drive” is sufficient, do not overthink. Just take the car to the service and they will handle it. Afterwards the lost key has no influence.

    Error messages abound, parking brake stuck, and a 5000 lawn ornament. HELP!

    After you have reinstalled the handbrake motors and they are connected to the car, you also need to activate that function manually. I did shifted several times from P to D which after the new unit eventually started to operate as should.

    Burnt plastic/rubber smell in the garage after preconditioning

    I had similar smell right when the battery heater did died. I noticed this in cabin as I had the outside. It halted my car as the internal failure was something that the car couldn’t handle. It was around €900 plus labor to change the unit one winter ago.

    2014 sunroof drain plugged

    In this post is clear view how the drain hoses are attached on the car, I presume the same for rear ones. As looking on the photos it’s quite obvious that they can detach very easily. Sorry, can’t give any clues how to remove the headliner but remember one have had success only by pulling the...

    Infotainment upgrade includes?

    Well, you have two options. If you haven’t yet done that eMMC recall that Tesla announced some time ago then this will preserve the car and systems as you currently have. They will clear up the accumulated memory from the computer and they will update the SW and navigation for the latest. You...

    What makes you think that this is the solution for this discussed situation that occurred almost six years ago? Also the solution was there available in post #5. Haven't you thought that your fix would be more appropriate in this thread?

    Here is this in picture as well, with several other types marked. As mentioned before I can’t be sure this is the right one for your handle. You need to check if the contact form is the right one for you.

    MS Facelift 2016.5 wind noise - Simple fix

    Not that I do not have that wind noise but why can’t you reset that window sealing yourself as when I asked service to address the matter they only changed out one side (as it had few wear-and-tear issues) and on other the mechanic re-adjusted it. In matter of fact this side is now much better...

    Door handle paddle sensor switch issues

    First things first, yes the wires will go directly into the controller (see photo). So they are plain wires (see second photo). On the document you will see that section (described in previous post) for the switch and you select the one that is suitable for your handle - like which side the...

    Door handle paddle sensor switch issues

    Actually you can, it’s Long Stroke and Sliding Contact Construction Sealed Switches by Panasonic, see attached file. I belive that switch is Simulated leaf lever type, probably with wires to the right ASQ10228 or with wires to the left ASQ10328. Can’t be 100% sure. I have seen them on retailers...

    Using solar to charge Tesla S in Switzerland

    Well it all depends how much is the average usage of your household during the time you want to charge your car. Is the day/night tariff time of change usable in the solar production of your setup? And do you use Tesla HPWC to charge your car? Overall answer would be yes, it’s possible. As...

    Tesla model S 2018 LED lights from RHD to LHD

    As 2018 car’s have full LED lights then I would not be concerned. I would try to get similar pair so that the part numbers would not be that much apart. In previous models they used lower wattage discharge bulbs on the Xenon headlight’s for EU market just to avoid compulsory headlight washers...

    Wet floor on Model S
