Appreciate the insight @PCMc , yeah small differences I am okay with. I just did not want anything glaringly off that would cause bad wear to my tires.

Did these guys do my alignment right? Going by the guide it seems their specified ranges don't match the Tesla PDF? 19inch wheels coil suspension btw. I know their doc had the single motor rear wheel drive specs pulled up to. When my car is dual motor(and do they even do single motors anymore...

Post wrap up. I think safellite installed an Aftermarket windshield even though the workorder said Tesla OEM lol. But the good news is my AP 1 camera seems to just work OOTB right after they installed it. No calibration or resetting or anything needed. No real drift or weirdness with it that it...

Wow, great to hear. I hope mine will behave the same but I will probably test on the highway late at night with no cars around and see how it behaves post windshield swap out lol. Did you even do anything on the touch screen to "recalibrate" ?

@Ciaopec Did you have AP1 or AP2? Did you notice it not behaving correctly for the first 30-100 miles? Also noting for folks above that windshield IS for my model car from the work order I attached but didn't support the AP1 camera stuff.... Soooo Safelite for the SECOND time is having to...

My understanding is even the AP1 camera can auto align over time as long as the tech didn't do a terrible job of mounting it back on, and isn't there a menu option to clear the AP camera cache or something to help initiate that fixing of the camera over the next 30-100 miles of driving after a...

Noting here for future folks, if you have a 2013-2017 MS and you do a replace with Safelite make sure the work order form has this part from my attached pic on it and looks like this. First time through right up until day before my appointment date they had order the wrong windshield sadly so...

Looks like my insurance is recommending Safelite. I been reading threads on conflicting info. Does safelite offer some form of decent mounting where Tesla's AP1 camera will be able to self-calibrate after 30-100 miles? I have read conflicting statements through prior threads on this forum...

Ooo I like this, may have mine done like so vs getting a refresh front bumper to replace my ugly nose cone hah. How much a paint job like that typically cost?

Final update. The SD card I mentioned earlier did work. Thoughts: I heard newer versions don't have this luckily, but boo Tesla for using a random SD card to store nav data on separately. And double boo for putting it in an inaccessible area easily on the car. Seems very much like a design...

Seems a good video on trim removal here: , wondering if I can avoid some of what he is doing and just focus on the right hand side though? But will need to get the right had side air vent + trim piece removed probably cause I need to get back to where this SD chip is inserted.

Thinking this card would suffice? Buying now I think. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sandisk-extreme-plus-32gb-microsdhc-uhs-i-memory-card/9387066.p?skuId=9387066 All that is left is knowing which trim to remove to expose that right hand edge of the mcu unit. Likely will take popping up more...

See attached, was quoted $200 for replacing my 2015 MCU1 Tesla Model S Nav maps GPS Micro SD card because my NAV keeps acting up they believe the memory card is going bad. I know some forum members have done the swap of the sd card, I am struggling to find the best youtube videos on which...

@Saimaannorppa Thanks for the insight. Appreciate it. I think I did get 1 spare door clip with my kit I could use on that one corner that will not stay pushed in. I really don't want to pop it off if possible but slip something under the 1 inch gap I can pull it away with when that top clip is...

Took my driver side door trim off to replace that metal paddle in a door handle that had snapped(pretty common). When I had my trim off, I noticed one of these plugs wrapped around the main body of wires that led to other plugs plugged in. Anyone know what plug head this should be going...

2015 Model S here. Just had my driver side door handle stop extending for me. I assume I have the v2.0 door handle and the v3.0 door handle will be my fix. I see a after market kit here I can use: Tesla Model S Door Handle Repair Kit (Gen 2) Also checking what Tesla will charge me for the fix...

Neat to know that trick, but that is a crazy thing to have to do and wait for lol. Sometimes I don't get updates for weeks at a time maybe even a month or so can go by, so not really satisfied with that approach long term. Yeah I ended up losing money slightly by installing the part locally then...

They told me after I told them I had replaced the part that they could have charged me much less. I replaced the part and power cycled my car expecting it to just work, no where online did it say I needed special tesla software to get the error to go away from what I had read. I wanted them to...

Final wrap up: Yeah I took my car to service center. They initially diagnosed it as needing a battery heater replaced. Only when I told them I did replace that item myself did they then bounce back and say to get rid of the "latching" errors they needed to do a software trigger("redeploy") I...

Decided to bite the bullet and will take it up to tesla service center now. Battery heater obviously was not the problem. I can turn my heat remotely from App onto high and see the battery snowflake symbol and then it goes away after 10-15 mins once car is warmed up. Something else is awry...

@murphyS90D / @David_Cary I replaced the battery heater at a local shop an hr ago. 36 degrees out, now parked in my garage still cold inside there too. Still seeing the indicator warnings and the cold soaked battery dashes it seems and all the error alarms from my original post. Tried a power...

Anyone ever done a battery coolant top off, or flush the coolant without the tesla toolbox app? Local auto shop asking about it just looking for some extra feedback there. If replacing the battery heater and not having the tesla toolbox app is okay wanted general consensus that it would be safe...

Appreciate it! Will review this.

Okay new snag folks, so seems there is a special software tool called tesla toolbox(that the general public briefly could hack their way into basically early December 2020, now that loophole has been closed and I can't get the tool) that helps bleed the battery coolant system, anyone have...

Guys I just figured out this part costs $120 for generally used but decent condition ones. 2012-2019 Tesla Model S Electric Battery Heater 1038901-00-H OEM 12-19 | eBay Autobahn Parts - Electrical, Tesla Model S (2015-2017) OEM Electric Battery Heater Part # 1038901-00-H, 1038901-00-H Any...

Disagree, its a 42k car now, can't be treated at the value of its inception. Must be nice to think 42k is cheap, probably a California thing. I actually know a guy locally that can fix up Tesla's so may see if they have any capability to do so before going to a service center to fork out a...

So apparently the battery itself gets the 8 year warranty right? But the device that heats the battery is not under warranty and sits outside the battery. You know what they want to fix that if the heater is the issue? $1.1k.. I mean I just paid like 42k for this used car last year and thought I...

Gotcha, thanks. I may call tesla today equipped with all this insight and see what they think too.

Ah that is good to know, will confirm with Tesla. Now that I am confident in the problem, I wonder if the battery heater replacement can be done by mobile tech vs having to drive 2 hours to a SC. Really don't wanna drive all the way up there, especially if its dangerous for me to drive it(kinda...

Appreciate it @David_Cary and @murphyS90D, both possibilities sound very believable. I keep my car in my garage with the garage door closed so its really never super cold in there but Its been in the low 30's outside a few times in SC lately so I could see the potential that the air temperature...

Oh and I am also unsure if this thing can even be driven safely on the highway in this state? The reduced speed will cap me at what? 45 mph? I don't think I can do highway driving at that speed which will be a requirement... Edit - Needs service, car may not restart next time , this link seems...

See the attached UI screenshot as well as Tesla's prepped ahead of time invoice. So I got this ride Mid 2020 used with about 23-24k miles on it, now up to 31k miles. And I originally had the common system black screening problems every now and then or while I was driving and all screens went...

I will add one more bit here that may save Tesla owners some grief. If you get your emmc swapped out and need to re-download all your nav maps and its been a few days and that download bar keeps jumping all over the place when connected to your wifi reach back out to your service center text...

Just wanted to update my situation from the other page a few back. I was worried from reading prior posts on reddit and here that the service centers are just a money grab. But I can say I arrived with photo+time proof of when my screen has gone totally black and I have faced major issues mid...

Got the text from Tesla prior to my service appointment for the 30th wanting exact date and time of last crash. Lucky for them it happened literally 2 days ago on my trip to TN twice. To be honest I am starting to get very frustrated with how poorly my car operates under critical highway...

Haha Elon or some higher up must be reading this thread cause shortly a week after we now get that email that they will be covering it freely for Vehicles that need it and are under warranty. I scheduled a visit to the Tesla Service center in Charlotte NC. I am unsure what that is going to be...

Man being a 2015 90D owner(bought used at 23k miles this year and I have only increased it to 28k miles so far) and seeing all these threads on MCU problems and how Tesla early on had a software bug that caused fast degradation of our hardware units due to overused logging is off putting. I...

I tried looking through that site on mobile and it was terrible. No clue how to use it hah, ended up buying 2 things: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0040CWWS2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and...

Just sent this post to Tesla support too from my account over there. Says it may take 3 business days to get a reply. Will see if they update and will add an answer here if they have one if no community members have dealt with putting in fresh screws/rivets before.

Long story short, was behind a car too close on highway, top of hill they swerved to avoid a dead deer in middle of our lane. I was on autopilot about to hit the thing 4 car lengths in front of me. Managed to react enough to only clip it on my left front. Tore the protective wheel well liner...

I think you have it reversed... the annoying warnings came before the gadgets. The annoying warnings came because people were straight asleep at the wheel on the highway being a complete idiot on the road. I agree with the other guy in this thread, we should not all suffer because idiots use the...

As promised, this thing did do what it says and is the perfect weight to feel like a gentle hand resting on the side of the wheel. And on Aliexpress for $60-70 bucks now you can find em its a okay deal if your a long distance highway commuter or road tripper who gets annoyed by constantly...

You were right, at least 1 clip I could see had not aligned right to pop back down and had bent off to the side. fixed up and popped back down again, pics attached post fix up, looking much better now. Added some 10lb weights to to sit on the dash overnight to try to hold it down a bit and will...

Hmm I am going to pop that right hand side up again and try to align the clips from center of dash outward again to see if it improves but it does not seem to wanna go down any further no matter how much i beat on the top of the dash. Inserting another close up pic anyways. There is no actual...

As promised, pics attached. The left hand side came out perfect, ignore my finger print smudges, didn't spend time cleaning those up yet haha. Look at those pretty carbon fiber trims :) . The right hand side I thought was solid after working in the dark last night without great visibility, but...

I worked my butt off 3.5 hours tonight putting on the OEM matte carbon fiber dash trim tonight. Pulling off all those clipped on panels feels like you are breaking the car haha. Just gotta do the center console cup holder face lid last. Will upload pics! If anyone wants to buy a set of the...

I feel like thats the dream haha, find a used one someone ends up not needing, buy it off them for $750 and then leave 750 for the paint and auto body work with a local buddy. I may just leave the nose cone though, its not that bad a look imo either.

Stock bumpers? Trying to decipher the typo lol.

Hmm I have about $43k sunk into my 24,700 miles 2015 90D Model S Midnight Silver w the 3rd row seating premium interior and AP1 etc. If I somehow could sell this for more than that, and buy a late 2016 or even 2017 model with sub 40k miles and some solid bells and whistles that would certainly...

Looks like T Sportsline has the cheapest at $1.7k, close to my range: 2012-2016 Tesla Model S Front Bumper Facelift Refresh , but after paint and a professional installation I would be outside my range for sure haha.
