    SOLD. It was hard to let go of the car. Loved the rare color combo. However, it has a great new owner.

    2012 Signature Red Tesla Model S P85 Low miles, MCU2, FUSC, LTE Free Connectivity - $45K

    For comparison, this is what the car looked like when I bought it as a CPO from Tesla in 2017. I like the blacked out look much better, but it's pretty easy to go back to the stock look if you prefer it. The "Signature" script on the sidemarker is currently covered with black vinyl as part of...

    2012 Signature Red Tesla Model S P85 Low miles, MCU2, FUSC, LTE Free Connectivity - $45K

    A few final notes - if you're local, there is no sales tax on private party sales in the State of Arizona. I think that applies to a few other states as well, but don't ask me which ones. Clean title in hand. No accidents. No liens.

    Okay, massive photo drop. These pictures were just taken within the hour. A few things to point out: - Forgot to mention this car has dual chargers, so up to 80 amp charging at Level 2 is possible - Interior has beautiful carbon fiber accents - I also added the OEM phone Qi charger in the...

    Own a piece of history. Selling my 2012 Signature Red Model S P85 VIN 588. I am the second owner and purchased as a CPO in 2017. The car has been very well maintained and remains in great condition. Just had 2-year service done in 6/2022 and put in a new 12V battery. Mileage is only 37,958...

    2012 Model S Signature Cars

    588 got the MCU 2 upgrade back in 10/2020, not long after my car was showing signs of eMMC failure. I added the FM upgrade a couple months later. The screen orientation is poor if you ever watch videos while Supercharging. Other than that, it was a much needed upgrade. Everything is just so much...

    Hansshow Power Frunk Trouble

    I’ve actually had good experience with Hansshow support. They just sent me a new Model 3 frunk soft close latch motor on a V3 kit I bought 1-1/2 years ago for free (including shipping). I installed this past weekend and it works perfectly Before this experience, I had an old Model S without a...

    Hansshow Power Frunk Trouble

    I actually had okay support from Hansshow recently, but you have to use WhatsApp. That seems to be their preferred method. I was having some issues (discussed in another thread) with v3 of the power lift gate interfering with the rear camera. They did some troubleshooting with me, but it was...

    rear view camera not working

    I ended up disconnecting the Hansshow v3 Tailgate and went back to stock. I was able to do it myself, but it took a while. Pulling off and re-installing all those interior panels is best left to the professionals and there is, indeed, not a lot of room to release the lower portion of the...

    I’m on 2021.4.21.2 My installer is nearby. I can easily ask him to take me back to stock, but I’ll try reaching out the Hansshow first RE: a CANBUS upgrade. I can pull off panels and wire that. Would it be possible to unplug the Hansshow tailgate handle Y-adapter and reconnect the OEM wiring...

    I think it means the suspension is not changing heights? I'll have to trouble shoot it a bit more. If that's the case, I'm really hoping it's not a major fix. Guess these cars are 8-9 years old by now and stuff like this is bound to happen.

    2.X battery capacity

    If the 3.0 battery is still going to cost about $30K, can you hold off on your contracted battery replacement to the 10-year mark, hope to get a 3.0 and maybe just get a cheap lease on a Bolt in the meantime? Would just like you to maximize the potential value of your prepaid replacement if...

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    Got my MCU 2 upgrade back on my classic pre-AP Signature Model S today. Took only a day to do. I asked for the radio upgrade, but was told it was currently unavailable. One small hiccup at contactless pickup. I didn’t bring my second key fob thinking I could open the car with the app. Well...
