    Installing spoiler

    Just take it to a service center - they'll align it properly and update your system to "Spoiler = TRUE" so it shows up on icons of your car on your screens and the apps.

    My Reus sound system install: Photos and comments

    Hi all. I live and work near Studio City. I had Cliff come up and install the 2S system for my Model S, and I love it! I knew right away that it sounded dynamic and full with a broad soundstage, but like all things, I became used to it after a couple of months. I took my Model S to Tesla...

    Firmware 5.8.6/7/8/9/10

    I charged at Hawthorne today and saw a really beat up silver Model S in the bay next to mine. The driver was a young guy who drive down from SF with a few friends. He was in a Model S Beta, with VIN 00056. The oldest VIN that wasn't crash tested is 00054, that's still around, but apparently...

    Metal or rubber pedals

    I picked up a pair of aluminum pedals from my service center today. They had them in stock for $250 for the pair, and I installed them myself within a few minutes. The part numbers are: ACCELERATOR PEDAL PAD - 1005916-00-A BRAKE PEDAL PAD - 6008130-01-A I need to get the part number for the...

    VisibleTesla

    I cannot connect to the Tesla servers in your software while using a proxy - can you have a place to input proxy info in the Options, perhaps?

    Is there a way to get HomeLink to work for condo gates ?

    If you can get into the gate control board by the motor, you can install your own simple receiver in parallel with the existing one, so you can open the gate along with the existing complex coding ones. This one will work.

    Ground light on bottom of door

    I just installed these on my doors too! Very easily reversable (and cheap!) if i end up not liking them. Thanks, OP! https://vimeo.com/70091852 https://vimeo.com/70091852

    Debadging

    Me too. The font used for the "Model S" on the back did not look right. It doesn't match anything else on the car.

    Debadging

    I did mine yesterday. Heat gun on low setting, some dental floss, and that's it. My detailer got the last bits off today when he came by. Here are before and after pics. I also blacked out that bottom chrome piece...

    "Are you telling me that this sucker is nuclear?"

    Yeah it's a little halon extinguisher, painted black.

    "Are you telling me that this sucker is nuclear?"

    Oh, I work at Universal (there are three of four of us here with Teslas) and we have some odd BTTF items around - not screen used or anything, but from some promotional stuff or toys that we've partners with in the past that I've come to acquire. My license plate is this:

    "Are you telling me that this sucker is nuclear?"

    "No, no, no, no, no, this sucker's electrical, but I need a nuclear reaction to generate the 1.21 gigawatts of electricity I need." If you know those lines, you probably know what's in my frunk...

    Bug Report: Video Overlay Disappearing With Popovers

    This is actually most noticed when you have the camera in the lower screen and try to adjust the A/C temperatures. The pop-up box with the Sync Temp option won't appear over the camera in the bottom screen. Move the camera to the top, and adjust the temps, you'll see the pop-ups.

    Fire Extinguisher installed

    I've always had an extinguisher in my cars. I'm just pointing out a place to mount one for like-minded people. Better to have one and not need it, than vise-versa.

    Fire Extinguisher installed

    In my prior car (Mercedes CLK 500), I had the factory fire extinguisher on a bracket attached to the drivers seat. i remember it was around $300 for the European bracket and extinguisher to be shipped to me from The Netherlands, since it wasn't available in the US. A couple of years ago, as I'm...

    IMPORTANT: New Model S torque specification for mounting wheels

    Does this torque spec apply to aftermarket wheels on my Model S, or only factory wheels?

    Metal or rubber pedals

    Ah, ok. Thanks for clarifying! On their website, they show the metal pedals in the non-performance models.. I guess that's a mistake on their part...

    Metal or rubber pedals

    I don't know if I just haven't noticed, and I've searched the forums about this... Every picture I've seen of a Model S interior shows metal accelerator and brake pedals and dead pedal. Mine are all black rubber. Did I miss something?

    HOV Sticker Magnetic

    I have a black Model S, so I just purchased two of these these little guys on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/170885158023?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 and put my three stickers on those (two of these backs is enough for all three carpool stickers) and cut around the edges...

    Pics of my car with wrapped chrome and some carbon fiber accents

    OK, I did the window trim first. I'll do the mirrors, front end, door sills, and handles next.

    Dr Taras' Model S gets customized!

    You can keep the lights that face you active and just kill the one that faces out. Also, you killed the audio by swiping the left sure of the camera. It's a touch sensitive switch by the wifi indicator. Hit it again to turn it back on.

    Dr Taras' Model S gets customized!

    You know, you don't need to put a piece of tape on the light. In the configuration settings for that camera, in the ipad/iPhone app, you can turn off all of the indicator lights.

    Center caps for aftermarket wheels

    Thanks! These are definitely lighter than the factory wheels. I'd say you save at least 25-30% of the weight in each wheel.

    OK, I'm convinced. Just made an appointment to get that done myself!

    Dr Taras' Model S gets customized!

    That's my plan if I get pulled over. I'll just rotate the camera to show the interior of the cabin so I can have the interaction recorded, albeit upside-down.

    Dr Taras' Model S gets customized!

    I've got the same camera (in the same mounting location). Where did they tap into constant 12v in the cabin? I've only found ACC power...

    Center caps for aftermarket wheels

    Oh, also. When I got the wheels installed, I made sure to tell them not to attach the factory TSW emblem to the center cap, and to hand the center caps to me after putting the wheels on. The wheels, even though they are gunmetal, have plastic chrome center cap holders. I took the center caps...

    Center caps for aftermarket wheels

    For those who have asked, the wheels on my car are the TSW Nurburgring in Matte Gunmental. Here's a couple more, wider, pics. If you're going this route, try to make sure you get longer lug nuts (longer than 14mm x 1.5) the short ones will rub on the bolts and not secure the wheel to the axle...

    Center caps for aftermarket wheels

    I took the advice of another forum member and went to http://3dcarstickers.com/. He doesnt have them listed on his webshop, but he does have the graphic for the Tesla logo, albeit with the shield around the T that's no longer used. I emailed the guy and he emailed a sample pic back to me of...

    19" wheels and center caps for sale

    I have 4x 19" wheels with center caps and factory nuts (no tires or TPMS sensors). Wheels are in perfect mint condition and were only on the car for less than 100 miles. Do I need to add pics? I'll crack open the boxes for them when I get home, I suppose. Oh, the wheels are wrapped in the...

    Exactly! It's the license plate on the DeLorean (it's electrical, not nuclear), after Mr. Fusion is put on it in "Back to the Future". Good job!
