    Tesla Service centers and dealerships now allowed in Vermont

    I dropped into the service center last week and crawled over the Cybertruck. My wife and I currently live out of state, however we’re moving to Vermont in the next 18 months so it will be good to have a service center nearby for our S and Y.

    Need Advice on allstate declaring my bumper/panel damage totaled!

    I’d thoroughly advise contacting these people Collision Safety Consultants - LOCATION FINDER It’s in Allstates interest to pay out as little as possible and you will either want to get your car repaired or get fair value so you can get into an equivalent car. The FUSC is also worth something and...

    Model S Purchase Question

    I’d agree with the post above. My car came with the 21 inch arachnids with Michelin PS4 summer tires. For the colder months (I’m in Arkansas), I run the a square 20x10 setup from T-Sportline with Michelin all season tires. These are so good I run these all year round however if I was further...

    Console sliding door stuck

    I just experienced this in my wife’s 2022 MY LR where I put the charging adapter in an accessory console tray and closed the sliding door. The sliding door wouldn’t open over the adapter. I managed to push the sliding door back a couple of inches which was sufficient to insert a plastic trim...

    Model S Trailer Hitch Installation

    I had one on my 2020 S. The undertray needs to be cut to fit the hitch so if done carefully the undercover will fit the hole. The magnets hold it into the hitch and it’s easily removed as needed. Works well.

    Help: Wiring a harness for a trailer

    For those like me with a 2021 onwards Model S for which the Tekonsha kit fails to work, I’ve just bought this: Swift Taillights ST01 - Portable Wireless Remote Controlled Temporary Tail Lights For Trailers It doesn’t connect directly to the car and the turn and brake signals have to be operated...

    Worth upgrading 2022 MS LR to 2022 Plaid or not

    Thanks, that’s also what I concluded. I had the Tekonsha kit installed in my previous 2020 MS and that worked to a degree. Installation however was a major effort as I elected to tap the 12v directly from the lead acid battery in the frunk rather than tap off the power liftgate as some others...

    Rear screen update Model S/X

    How much was the upgraded screen to buy from Tesla?

    Worth upgrading 2022 MS LR to 2022 Plaid or not

    On towing have you managed to find a solution for trailer lights or do you just not use them? (I have a 22 MS with a hitch from a X but have struggled to find a solution for a trailer wiring harness).

    Trailer hitch on 2021 refresh?

    I just bent the bracket using a pair of mole grips to allow the hitch to fit. I could have done a better job by putting the bracket in a vise and bending the top of the bracket evenly but I didn’t have a vise to hand. The top of the bracket needs to be bent towards the rear of the car. That will...

    Rocks accumulating inside bumper.

    Yes, I have this as well. I had a mobile tech release the undertray and remove the rocks however the problem reoccurred after a few months.

    Trunk Liner Thoughts

    Yes, I had one in my last S. Very well made and fits well. I can’t remember whether I sold it when I changed cars but if you’re interested in it I can take a look a and see if I still have it. Just PM me if you’re interested.

    2021+ Lower Bumper Cover (Hitch Opening)

    That’s nice. I have a factory Model X hitch on my S, and have a 1-UP bike rack fitted most of the time. I ordered a spare cover like you (which came in bare plastic, unpainted and without the two plastic turnbuckles). When you get a moment you mind taking some measurements of the hole you cut so...

    Trailer hitch on 2021 refresh?

    I like the clean install of the X hitch. The removable hitch with the key is well engineered as well and is neater than a bolt that’s used on aftermarket hitches.

    Trailer hitch on 2021 refresh?

    How far are they off? I needed to offer the X bar up carefully to the studs on the car abs slide the hitch over the studs on both sides at the same time.

    2022 Driver's Door Loose

    The bolts holding the drivers door to the hinge were also loose on my refresh LR S delivered a few weeks ago. I noticed because like you the door hinge was making a creaking noise. All 4 bolts were loose on the top and bottom hinges but I tightened them myself with a quarter drive socket set...

    Trailer hitch on 2021 refresh?

    Thanks. I saw that post on what looked like a brake controller cable near the drivers footwell however reading on I thought I read it was either not the case or the harness was only present in early production cars. I think that’s part of the challenge - that Tesla makes multiple ongoing changes...

    I’d be interested too in a replica of the Plaid Spolier.

    Trailer hitch on 2021 refresh?

    No, my sense is that the factory hitch from the S always fitted all versions of the S as can be seen in the pic of the black car. The clearance looks tight, however the hitch bracket clears the unused studs on pre-2021+ cars. The on,y thing I’d add for the pre-2021+ cars is that im not sure how...

    Trailer hitch on 2021 refresh?

    I think you’re right that all hitches from the X will fit the refresh X. From what I understand - and thanks to someone on one of the S forums on Facebook - the new S (gray car in the attached pic) lacks four studs that were present on earlier cars (black car in attached pic). Looking at pics...

    Trailer hitch on 2021 refresh?

    Getting the bumper off is fairly easy, multiple videos on YouTube of bumper removal on the prior S and this one is very similar. From memory (and it’s a lot easier/ probably essential if the rear of the car is raised on stands and the rear wheels removed and plastic trim tools are used to...

    Trailer hitch on 2021 refresh?

    Cost me around $500. Not sure if the cost from Tesla but probably more. Cheaper on EBay.

    Torklift Ecohitch Stealth for Refreshed 2021 Model S

    Well I have some good news. The take-off hitch I bought from a refresh 2022 Model X DID fit my 2022 Long Range S.

    Legacy S owners, how many are upgrading to new LR or Plaid?

    Sold my 2020 LR Raven and picked up a 2022 LR refresh a couple of weeks ago. Multiple enhancements plus the software focus on the new cars with newer hardware coupled with currently strong used prices made the switch a no brainer.
