    California DMV - Plates & HOV Stickers

    EXACTLY! I am always left in awe when I see all these beautiful cars plastered with these stickers. I have never heard of one instance where someone was pulled over for this, or even fined for it when pulled over for something different.

    RGB Ambient Lighting project for Palladium Model S - lets do it

    I am hoping to not remove the center screen. If I do, does anyone have a link to a Youtube or video tutorial? I have been unsuccessful in finding one.

    RGB Ambient Lighting project for Palladium Model S - lets do it

    I received my strips from Ali, they are beautifully small "tubes" mounted on a nice strip for mounting. The tubes much smaller than I ever expected. You have an excellent point about mounting them on the door side. Does this create any alignment issue when putting the trim back in place?

    RGB Ambient Lighting project for Palladium Model S - lets do it

    @Proppilot , God bless you for all the hard work and hours that you have put in, and for the MANY hours of work you will save us! I am planning this project in a few stages. First, I am going to access the power and get that set-up, then start my cable run to the doors. Then, I will open up all...

    2021+ Model S Ambient lighting retrofit

    A bunch of people are looking at a DIY project here. Definitely making some headway. As someone said above, it will be controlled by your touchscreen via the ambient lighting. Adjustments will be made through a Phone app.

    RGB Ambient Lighting project for Palladium Model S - lets do it

    @Proppilot, While I think the idea of using the existing light pipe is pretty awesome, I gotta say, your first attempt at this looked pretty darn good as it was. It seems to accomplish this, we would have to add 3 different resisters for each fiber optic source. 3 x 4 doors seems like a lot...

    Frunk or front hood firewall wiring access for 2023 Model S Plaid?

    I did once crawl under there a couple of years ago, and it looked like a nightmare of a task. Did you start from inside the cabin or from the frunk?

    Yoke peeling

    Question for those of you with the new yoke. There was only one cool thing about the mis-placement of the horn button on the old yoke: if you placed your entire palm over all the buttons on the right, the horn let out a rapid-fire staccato horn sound. Scared the c**p out of other drivers who...

    Frunk or front hood firewall wiring access for 2023 Model S Plaid?

    Just found this thread as I was about to pose the same question. I see a grommet from the frunk side, but have not dove deep enough on the inside to find the entry/exit point. From the frunk side, it is tough to reach with my large hands. Someone here posted about firewall access, and I reached...

    Funny you should bring that up. I wonder if we will see wheels with a center horn button. Or, is that already happening. I really have not been paying much attention to this lately.

    That's exactly what I got. Phew! May I suggest you list all the parts on your pdf? My wife is going away for a long weekend next month. I intend to take over the entire driveway and pul apart my car and do the entire thing while she is away.

    12V Access: Model S 2021 Refresh

    I have a fuse box that is tapped directly into the li-ion battery. "Tapped" is a strong word. I have a 16G wire that I stripped approximately 4" and wrapped it around the post many times, then forced the cap back on. I heard others (maybe upthread?) who drilled into that post. This post is...

    I submitted a service request as well. Do you think the old airbag is compatible, given the horn aspect? I would think not.

    Vendor Official Signature Wheel Gallery | Model S Plaid & Performance.

    Jamie clearly wants to keep this info proprietary. Perhaps some consider that unnecessary, and maybe they are right. If I knew 2 cents about wheel fitment, maybe I would want to know too. Ultimately, it is his business decision. They can find another product if that bothers them. Given Jamie's...

    Vendor Official Signature Wheel Gallery | Model S Plaid & Performance.

    I don't know. These guys have been around for a long time and give amazing service. They just don't act like a regular retail business. I don't have a problem with that, as long as they follow through, which they always seem to do.

    Drivers side floor mat issue

    I am having the same issue on my Model S. The velcro circles on the back on my mats are useless for sticking to the carpet. I am going to try some aftermarket products to see if they stick better.

    Thank you for sharing your install. I understand it is not just to your liking as of yet, but would you be willing to show some close-up photos of your install? Did you manage to get the lights under the chrome strips?

    I did a few cursory measuremenst earlier today. Looks like either side of the dash are almost identical in length, approximately 21.5" each. The doors are just a bit shorter, around 20.5" each The console is considerably longer, about 35" each side, not including the connecting section along...

    That makes sense for a pre-fab system with multiple sub-controllers for each strip, and a master controller for dimming, color, etc. If building our own system, running off the ambient light controls, I would imagine we could always use a separate relay module for each one, as there is ambient...

    We know, unequivocally, that there is power in the doors. There must be if we are going to roll these windows up and down! personally, I find taking the doors apart for this to be a little exhausting, but perhaps, if I get bored and need to do this, I will.

    Supercharger - Mammoth Lakes, CA - Old Mammoth Rd. (LIVE 24 Nov 2023, 12 V3 + 4 L2)

    Yes, the UI did tell me that the first time I tried the new site, so I quit and came back later, setting the nav for that site. The charge rate was perfect the 2nd try. Again, this first site has been horrible since day 1.

    Supercharger - Mammoth Lakes, CA - Old Mammoth Rd. (LIVE 24 Nov 2023, 12 V3 + 4 L2)

    Was your battery pre-warmed? For the old site, this one, it never seemed to matter. I always got a miserable rate, even when it was brand-spanking new. The new one worked well for me when I pre-warmed the battery, but once I did not, and the charge was terrible.

    RGB Ambient Lighting project for Palladium Model S - lets do it

    Perfect, this is exactly how I planned it. I actually have a 12V source already, tapping into the main post from the li-ion battery under the hood, which is stepped-down from a converter and into a fuse box. I can run a wire from that back into the main cabin to power the lights (I go through...

    @Proppilot , thanks for starting this thread. This is a project I definitely want to perform. As an electrical moron, who has still done his fair share of hacks, can you please instruct me on how to tap the signal from the ambient lights? Do you grab a wire from the foot-well or something...

    I submitted my initial request in Nov, and they offered me a 1-time replacement then, but with the same yoke, and no ability to replace again in the future. Or, I could wait for the upgraded replacement. I chose the latter. Submitting a new request now.

    Now that I see photos, I guess this answers my question. Those are temporary/pre-fab units. Hopefully they are expanding to have more V3's. V4's??? Doubtful.

    Do FSD strikes ever get reset without striking out?

    Update: I added FSD subscription today, and it shows that my Autosteer strike from before did indeed carry forward, but the prior excess speed did not. Therefore, the correct answers are 1) Yes, and 2) No

    Yeah, but were lucky I guess. Left West LA around 10am. Had no traffic going up, but there was a steady line of cars coming down. I actually made a mistake, posting this in the wrong thread. LP listed all 16 stalls available, but every one was taken. I skipped it though, since we were...

    Do FSD strikes ever get reset without striking out?

    I currently don't have FSD, but thinking about starting a subscription this month. While using Autopilot 2 weeks ago, I had a strike. A couple of days ago, I had a second (( think), when I exceeded 90 (passing a car that decided to speed up as I was doing it). Nothing about either currently...

    Ah, you are correct. There is no motivation to move their car. As is, whenever I stay at Juniper, there is always one or two cars who are there for several days. I met the president of the HOA there one day, and he agreed, and put signs up. It did nothing. I heard they may change to paid...

    That destination charger would be great for visiting any of the local restaurants. Aside from that, I am happy to have these chargers there. If not charging at my destination, I can always pop in for a 15 minute charge, which should last me a week up there until I take the hill back down.

    Tesla replaced my yoke with an updated version today. 👌

    Finally got around to scheduling a service for my peeling yoke. They told me they could replace it now, or I could wait for a better one in Q1 2024. I can wait. Who knows, but maybe the new one has a real horn button? I can dream now, can't I?

    Speak of the devil. Here is a site that was just taken down. V3 stalls to boot. Apparently, the place was too congested with it there (or something like that). I did not get into the nitty-gritty of the thread. There is another site a few blocks away.

    6 is better than 0, but I foresee a severe congestion problem at this site during the winter. People just have to remember that the amount of regen they get going down the hill is massive. This is a good spot for Tesla to restrict charging to 80% (or less), at least on busy days. There are...

    Yeah, that is surprising. I am assuming that it was because it was permitted for such a long time ago, and the equipment assigned. Looking at that thread, that is the best guess of those following as well.
