    MCU2 upgrade includes converting manual to power liftgate??

    I scheduled an appointment to upgrade to MCU2 for my 2016 Tesla MS with manual liftgate for an initial estimate of $1750. When tesla started work they realized that software will not pass testing without power liftgate, they quoted $4.5k; I declined. In 30 mins, they came back with a quote of...

    Blurry back up camera

    It is parked in my garage. I am still not sure why the Service estimate is $570. I hope it is covered under warranty.

    Blurry back up camera

    I am still under 2yrs/50k warranty since I bought it used from Tesla but any idea why I am getting an invoice for $570? Is the backup camera not covered under warranty?

    Blurry back up camera

    Hi, I had already cleaned the camera lenses. It seems like the camera is slightly out of focus and not dirty.

    Blurry back up camera

    I just noticed that the back up camera is a bit blurry, the objects are not looking as sharp as they used to. I haven’t been driving much since a couple of weeks so I am not sure if this is related to a recent update. I have cleaned the lenses and also rebooted the screen. Did anyone else...

    My 2016 Tesla Model S 75D story - purchased June 2019

    SC was not very sure what i was requesting but they assured they will check to see if this is still available. Their initial reply was - “... We see your vehicle is already a 75kw battery - the uncorking is typically an upgrade from 60 to 75 - can you elaborate on your request? As much...

    Sound Insulation

    Hi Everyone, I bought a used MS directly from Tesla 3 months ago, I have noticed higher road noise levels inside the car compared to other luxury cars I have owned. I even noticed that when I play music or if I am on a phone call - it is very audible from the outside. I plan on scheduling an...

    Pro shop power liftgate retrofit in Northern Virginia

    Hi, I found a lot of DIY info online to get the power liftgate installed on the model S, most references are to cozero; however I do not think I might be able to do this myself and I was hoping to get some referrals to a local shop in NoVA with some experience working on Tesla modifications...

    Suntek CIR vs Pinnacle

    Hi All, I have been shopping/researching on window tints in the northern VA area. Do you have any experience/suggestions with Suntek CIR or Pinnacle? The quote I got for Suntek CIR was $399 and Pinnacle $425 so price wise both are close. The purpose is to reduce the heat so it is easier on...

    Bought CPO - Are painted panels common?

    This makes me feel a bit better. Yes, I noticed that the vehicle had new tires as well. Agree with the others, they have removed the term "CPO" however they have given me additional warranty. On the downside, free super charging was removed from this vehicle.

    Bought CPO - Are painted panels common?

    Hi All, I purchased a used 2016 Model S from Tesla last weekend with "clean history", the car looked great and had some minor scratches on the door panels. I still picked it up as these could be addressed with some paint correction. When I took it to the detailer he pointed out that the bumper...
