    2022 MS - Third Brake Light Out

    Wow, I guess I have been spoiled, they even had a loaner ready to go when I arrived that I didn’t request.

    2022 MS - Third Brake Light Out

    They ended up replacing the rear windscreen as well when replacing the center brake light - they covered the cost of re-tinting the rear window, they just asked for a copy of the invoice for the tinting, although it took about 3 weeks for the check to arrive from Fremont.

    Rear ended

    My guess is was not much more than $2k, I had a very similar level of damage on a Model S - (I was stopped on the freeway due to heavy traffic, Hyundai behind me wasn't paying attention and braked too late). The hatch they just bondo and repaint, they won't replace the entire hatch for that...

    The screen mount looks super clean! Do you mind sharing how the bracket works?

    Rear seat headphones?

    I just noticed the owner's manual has a note about it indicating pre-September 2021 vehicles missing the hardware for Bluetooth headphones, although I don't know how accurate it is seeing the note about having to use the glovebox USB port for USB game controllers seems incorrect in that I have a...

    Thoughts on Model X

    I live in the suburbs but when I go downtown to urban areas I get nervous with opening the falcon wing door on the driver side when parked on the street as they are not very fast at opening or closing and worry someone driving by could hit the door before it closed. Also the front doors with the...

    I’m gonna say that knowing the former is true, then the latter is all the more worse.

    2022 MS - Third Brake Light Out

    Looks like the same thing just happened to me (or maybe it was a long time ago, I only noticed accidentally when I was checking something on my driveway security camera and noticed it, who knows how long it's been like this!). Reading the above experiences, I am keeping my figures crossed they...

    FSD AND FUSC Transfer Offer this Quarter?

    This was a promo last year. See below link. I have a 2016 X that qualified, I remember seeing in the Tesla website then but it is not in my Tesla app message history the way the October 2023 promo and the new one from a few days ago shows up as a message from Tesla in the app...

    excessive use of data

    I am not an expert by any means but I have a Tesla Android pi setup, and it has a setting to save data use by blocking sending of telemetry data to Tesla which it notes is important for FSD Beta users (which I am not so I can’t speak to it). Maybe it’s related to this? Just a guess.

    Hesitation from a standstill under moderate acceleration

    I experienced this too but after turning off Obstacle Aware Acceleration I don't recall ever experiencing it again. Do you have Obstacle Aware Acceleration on?

    Model X Black T emblems

    I should add I ended up plastidipping my original chrome badge and it’s held up through one winter pretty well, I think one tiny bit may have flaked off.

    Model X Black T emblems

    Sounds like the gloss holds up better, this is my last matte emblem from them after which they didn’t respond and I got a refund from my credit card company.

    CarPlay solution for Tesla by Michal Gapinski using Raspberry Pi with Android

    For me at least with Tesla Android, after trial and error I discovered that unplugging and plugging the carlinkit dongle would always 100% reconnect CarPlay. Annoying and difficult when driving so I got a magnetic USB-C connector (couldn’t find any USB-A magnetic connectors so also got USB-A to...

    Nice, those pictures are very helpful! I was wondering - where did you tap to get 12v power? Thanks!

    Has anyone installed a radar detector in a updated 2021 model S?

    Hello, I was wondering how did you route the wires from the ALP heads through the bumper to the frunk area? I am considering getting the ALP system, but I couldn't see any holes or gaps where the leads could be routed from that lower intake area up to the frunk area (albeit I just took a quick...

    AL Priority & Net Radar Laser Install on Plaid or LR?

    How did you route the wires from the ALP heads through the bumper to the frunk area? I was looking at that area of my car, I am considering getting the ALP system, but I couldn't see any holes or gaps where the leads could be routed up to the frunk area. Did you have to take off the front...

    Vendor Model S Interior Carbon Fiber Doors & Dash Trim Kit

    Like I said another vendor does offer it. Looks good in the YouTube videos but being new I haven't seen reviews by real owners so I would say the jury is out on how it looks and feels. Out of respect for their posting I don't want to post info on a competitor's product here.

    Vendor Model S Interior Carbon Fiber Doors & Dash Trim Kit

    These are aftermarket overlays right? Has nothing to do with Tesla OEM parts. I don’t want to go off topic but will just say there is another third party vendor that advertises CF overlays like these but also have them for the cup holders and center console. But it’s significantly more...

    Do you have carbon fiber pieces for the center console and front and rear cup holders?

    Model X Black T emblems

    I'll be interested to know how well the emblemsonly one holds up for you. I bought a matte black one from them a couple months back, and am on my 3rd one. The first one they sent was scratched already so they sent a replacement - within a couple weeks the black paint was flaking off and you...

    Slow wireless charging?

    I have an iPhone 13 mini and it’s not great either. I have found at least for the mini it does charge a bit faster after I put like a half inch felt pad at the bottom to prop the phone up higher. I think the mini is just so short that otherwise it doesn’t align well with the charging coils. But...

    Radar Mount?

    I have a BMG-4014 that has worked fine for 10 months for me. It may slightly limit the adjustability of the mirror but no issue for me. I ended up switching from a Redline 360C to a Valentine one gen 2 and replaced the bottom half of the mount.

    Yes. The L shaped adapter receiver is the same as the one on the X.

    Trailer hitch on 2021 refresh?

    So I ended up cutting off the bracket on the Rev H hitch (1027581-00-H) that I bought from Tesla. And of course removing the wiring stuff since I'm just planning to use this for a bike/ski rack. I had a body shop install it for me, the car was with them anyways to repair the rear bumper that...

    Trailer hitch on 2021 refresh?

    I purchased a hitch from Tesla with the same bracket - I believe it is revision H of the hitch. Any tips on how to bend back the bracket? In the image it appears it’s just the top left of the bracket that needs to be bent towards the front of the car? Thanks!

    2022 Model S Winter Tire Question

    I got a set of the Tesla spec PZero WInters for the 21" arachnids from 1010tires in early October. Looks like they have the front in stock but the rear is out of stock right now; it was a similar situation in early October, I submitted my email to notify me once in stock, and a few days later...

    Vendor Refresh Model S LR/Plaid : Winter Tire Option

    How did the combination of the Pirellis up front and continentals in the rear go? I am thinking of going that route as well this winter.

    T Sportline 360 Yoke Replacement: review in ~2 weeks

    So on another thread about Yoke replacements I posted about the Unleashed wheel I purchased and as they didn't require sending in a core I inquired about the design of their wheel and they sent me a I guess CAD drawing and said it is a one piece no weld magnesium alloy. Hopefully the link...

    List of Available Wheel Replacements for Yoke

    So an update - after reaching out to Unleashed, they realized they forgot to finish the wiring and solder on the wiring and plug so that it would be plug and play for the heating element, so they sent me a shipping label to send it back to them to install it (they offered as an option to send me...

    List of Available Wheel Replacements for Yoke

    Unleashed doesn't use a tesla core - they sent me the below diagram and said they use a magnesium alloy one piece core with no welds. Other than some of the labels being different I can't visually see really any difference (like the hole on the right side where the airbag plugs in - on the...

    List of Available Wheel Replacements for Yoke

    Definitely love having a regular steering wheel over the yoke. I've only ever had round (with or without a flat bottom) steering wheels in all the cars I've driven over the past 20+ years of my driving life, and could never get used to the yoke. I feel much smoother and confident making turns...

    List of Available Wheel Replacements for Yoke

    Thanks! The way I have it positioned it definitely cuts off a little of the top - like the speed limit sign in the cluster is about half cut off. I can live with that though as it's just like any other car I've driven in the past with a regular steering wheel and I feel way more comfortable...

    List of Available Wheel Replacements for Yoke

    I've gotten so much help from the info on this forum, happy to be able to contribute! Sorry for my poor description, attached are a couple more photos where I've roughly outlined the backside section that isn't wrapped. The entire rim itself is fully wrapped and very nice. It's just this I...

    List of Available Wheel Replacements for Yoke

    I bought an unleashed customs steering wheel and just installed it. Did a quick drive with it and so glad to have a regular wheel. I had the yoke for about 5k miles and could tolerate it but did not like it. Here's the finished install: I went with all leather - perforated on the sides...

    My First Tesla-2021 Model S Plaid MSM-Pics

    Hi vic55 - I ordered a steering wheel from Unleashed Customs last week so good to hear positive feedback on them! Quick question - did you install it yourself? Was curious how difficult it is to remove the trim with the buttons from the yoke to transfer over to the new steering wheel (I've...

    Saris Bike Rack Stuck in Hitch Receiver

    Thanks for the suggestions, I did have the hitch on the MX and couldn't get the rack out, I ended up taking it back to the bike shop and they were able to get it off. They tried another Saris Superclamp and had the exact same problem, they said it needs to go in about 3" but would get stuck at...

    Saris Bike Rack Stuck in Hitch Receiver

    Hello, So I have a 2016 P90D Model X that I bought used (not CPOV) from Tesla in December 2019. It came with the hitch receiver which looked new. I installed it for the first time this weekend no problems. However when I went to install a Saris Superclamp EX 4-bike rack (new), it would not...

    Is A/C motor really this loud?!

    @Baxterdown My 2016 Model X made a very similar sound as the one in your AC3 video. From outside the car it was almost like an electric humming sound that got louder if I increased the fan speed. Started on a road trip in Washington DC in the middle of summer, about a week later it died - no...

    Have you ever seen Wh/mi this high?

    I have a 2016 Model X with MCU1 and it requires a reboot maybe every 3 weeks although recently it seems to have been needing it more often. So it is not as bad as your situation, but once before it froze up and needed a reboot, it got stuck at I think it was 799 or 899. I thought that was high!
