    Show off your aftermarket wheels.

    Ceramic coating on wheels. I did not know this was a thing. I just bought some off EVAnnex & now need to do this before mounting! Where did you go to do that?

    Model S 2014 - active alerts just in service mode

    Mine may be broken, too. I can't find a way to check either. I'm bringing this up next time I'm at the SC.

    AC Desiccant Bag replacement service cost

    Understood. Though, I probably need that, too. I bought mine used 2 and 1/2 years ago and who knows when said bag was last replaced. I wonder if Tesla keeps the records from other owners' maintenance. Thank you. I now have a clear understanding that the two have zero in common with each other...

    AC Desiccant Bag replacement service cost

    Then I wonder if the SC will tell me why it smells so bad when I turn recirc on.

    Model S 2014 - active alerts just in service mode

    I sincerely hope that these are false negatives. I just ran into this service screen the other day & for the first time since owning my 2014 MS, my heart dropped from seeing all these faults. I agree. I wish there was a way to omit these alerts for our oldies, but I guess that's why we can't...

    AC Desiccant Bag replacement service cost

    I have the gross moldy smell in mine & when I reported it, the SC entered in the estimate that I needed the carbon particulate filter changed. Uh no. I did this myself as I always do. I guess I'll need the ~$450 HVAC service that the OP mentioned.

    Fix your door that won't open

    I finally fixed my driver door that had a broken pivot gear. Took me longer somehow. More like 5 hours. There were several things that kept delaying me. I also replaced the two microswitch wiring harnesses. The next one I do will be my rear drivers side. That one died. There's no motor...

    Model S Parcel Shelf - Bay area

    I went to the Service Center for a completely different reason, to pick up my vehicle & drop off the loaner one. I asked if I could buy the parcel shelf off the loaner vehicle. They said no, but they did have one in their room of "trash" that I could have for FREE! I wanted to give a hug to...

    Tesla door handle failure - pivot gear (anyone have one I can buy?)

    KIKGAZ, thank you so much. You're a genius. I agree. Excellent write up. I'll be taking on this feat sometime in the near future (whenever I get the Paddle Gears I need). I'm buying four in case I need more later. I'm pretty comfortable with taking apart stuff as long as I have YouTube...

    LTE upgrade vs MCU upgrade

    Well, it's a good thing I upgraded it last month then. $3,000 fix versus $1,500 fix. Nah. I might have lucked out on this one. Side note: they left the radio functional! I swear I did not pay for that.

    Model S Parcel Shelf - Bay area

    Just called Tesla parts customer service & they said Model S parcel shelf for 2016 - 2021 models are interchangeable with earlier models. If that helps...

    WTB: in Austin, TX < $50k - that benefits from owner to owner transfer

    My 2014 S85 was bought for 31k in 2021. No AP but free Supercharging for life. These days CarMax wants to give me 35,000 for it. Just a general frame of reference. I know the OP wants FUSC + FSD + AP3. I have only FUSC.

    Model S Parcel Shelf - Bay area

    Thank you. I need pre 2016 parcel shelf, but I think I might've found one.

    WTB: Model S Parcel Shelf for 2018 100D - Los Angeles

    I checked with them. Yup, that's the part number for mine, except they added a B. So it's part # 1120212-00 B Thanks. What were you trying to get for it?
  15. Chris Redfield

    WTB: Model S Parcel Shelf for 2018 100D - Los Angeles

    I may take you up on that early model parcel shelf. Going to call Tesla tomorrow and ask about that part number.
  16. Chris Redfield

    Model S Parcel Shelf - Bay area

    Yeah, I'm looking for one too for my 2014 S85, but isn't the asking price for one like over $200? Sheesh.

    Lifetime Average Wh/mi

    Okay maybe a little less. But I don't really use the trip odometer and so now you got me thinking that I should look at this more. I really should've looked at this screen when I drove from Phoenix to Seattle & back. That would've been some good data.

    Lifetime Average Wh/mi

    2014 MS 85 88,000 miles 300 Wh/m Lots of A/C in Phoenix, Arizona 100+ degree weather. I stopped driving spiritedly since I started watching my battery drain in the Summer 110+ degree weather. People get angry at me for being slow. Yeah, I'm the slow Tesla driver.

    Who here is going to lose 3G Connectivity - Feb 2022 when it sunsets?

    So I'd been meaning to post that I started to lose 3G in certain areas of the cities I commute through (hour long commute). It was like the car would lose signal every couple miles or so. As if they left SOME towers to allow 3G, while others, not at all. This went on from middle of May until...

    Should I sell my Model S?

    I think the Forum Moderator should be able to take the last part of this thread and put it into a new one according to what I've seen in the past. I remember belonging to another forum where one of the moderators had excellent organization skills. 😎

    Who here is going to lose 3G Connectivity - Feb 2022 when it sunsets?

    Beginning of May & it's still working. Maybe AT&T changed their minds! 😍

    Should I sell my Model S?

    I'm ready to sell. CarMax is offering 4k more than I paid for it. Hmm. I do need the money for other responsibilities. I drove my S85 for a year & put 30k miles on it because I live FAR from my job. Pandemia didn't affect my work situation & so there I went to work every week while everyone...

    So it's now the beginning of April & I still have 3G.

    LTE upgrade vs MCU upgrade

    Congratulations on the upgrade! I'm in the same boat as you. As some of the other members know, my 2014 85 has a completely non-functional Bluetooth & Wireless card. They both do nothing at all. Useless features unfortunately. And I also have a 3G modem. When the time is right, I'll shell out...

    Who here is going to lose 3G Connectivity - Feb 2022 when it sunsets?

    Oh man sorry. I should consider myself lucky then. Strange! It's still on over here. Maybe it's a regional shutdown. Like in waves. Maybe west is last.

    Who here is going to lose 3G Connectivity - Feb 2022 when it sunsets?

    The Tesla Ranger came out to my place of employment to work on it in the parking lot. It was a cold day so poor guy. Better than a hot day in Phoenix that's for sure. Anyway, he took About an hour to two to determine that there is nothing wrong with the EMMC chip & that if there was a loose...

    AP1 ONLY Please -- life after 2018.50.6

    How is this possible that I'm in the two percentile? I was pushed the update yesterday. AP 0 MS in USA. So then if I'm living in the desert of Arizona, I speak English, & I have a non-working Wi-Fi adapter in my MCU1, I've pretty much updated nothing at all. 🙃

    Air Suspension deflating slowly - SC will replace bascially everything

    I wonder if mine was just a fuse. Got mine back on Friday after they'd originally put on the estimate that it was the Front Air Spring Module, then later changed it. Then again this might be fair since they wanted to pre-diagnose the issue & order parts just in case I needed them (this way the...

    Who here is going to lose 3G Connectivity - Feb 2022 when it sunsets?

    @Akikiki Oh wow. Okay, I just scheduled mobile service to have them to change it out. Let's see if they argue that it was already done.

    Who here is going to lose 3G Connectivity - Feb 2022 when it sunsets?

    Oh yeah, no worries, you didn't miss it. I forgot to mention on here that my eMMC was replaced last year under the recall. Strange, but prior to the replacement, both services were functional. And I don't remember how long after they replaced it that those services started failing. I'm...

    Who here is going to lose 3G Connectivity - Feb 2022 when it sunsets?

    Wifi (as well as Bluetooth) is broken on my MCU1. When trying to access either one of these, it swirls & swirls searching for signals until five minutes later it gives up & says to contact Tesla for service. Last year, SC just told me to get MCU2 & it would fix everything. So no wifi for me.

    Who here is going to lose 3G Connectivity - Feb 2022 when it sunsets?

    Scratch that. It turned on again today. I have 3G for a few more days. One last software update before it all over. I have one pending now. I don't know what all that was about last night. Some anomaly or something.
  33. Chris Redfield

    Who here is going to lose 3G Connectivity - Feb 2022 when it sunsets?

    He said it didn't hurt to ask. :) Yes, Sir. And thanks to you, Sir, I remembered that I have at LEAST that. Because I'm unhappy to report that my car's 3G is disabled. I got the vehicle back this afternoon (one new air compressor later) & after declining the LTE retrofit, I now have an...

    Who here is going to lose 3G Connectivity - Feb 2022 when it sunsets?

    I'm asking them in the Tesla application "if they would find it their hearts to Goodwill the LTE retrofit for me." I didn't want to come off as demanding it, so I started it off as "Good morning, Sir. Just a random question..." I was afraid at first to ask, but then I realized the worst...

    Who here is going to lose 3G Connectivity - Feb 2022 when it sunsets?

    So yes, my Wi-Fi doesn't work nor does my Bluetooth. They both somehow crapped out sometime last Summer without warning. And once 3G is turned off I will no longer have premium streaming connectivity, therefore no more music on Tesla's own streaming. Although I do still have a radio signal so...

    Who here is going to lose 3G Connectivity - Feb 2022 when it sunsets?

    I'll stay with 3G until the bitter end. I'll be the one that squeezes every last ounce of 3G out of the airwaves. I'm way too strapped for cash right now to pay the 200 that they quoted me from within the application (when I got a repair estimate). I realize this is quite a bargain compared to...

    Air Suspension deflating slowly - SC will replace bascially everything

    I think the idea here is that they don't have the time or staff to spend troubleshooting each individual issue with every vehicle. They're probably told by management to keep the flow going as fast as possible. Not trying to defend them in any way here. Just thinking out loud. That doesn't...

    2022 Model S "Air Suspension Adjustment Is Not Available, Car May Not Be Level"

    Oh no. I'm so freaked out right now. I really hope the Phoenix SC has loaner cars. I have the "Air Suspension Adjustment Is Not Available, Car May Not Be Level" error & I stopped driving it last Tuesday. I've been borrowing gf's truck, but she needs it back! My appointment's on Thursday to...

    Is it safe to drive with a disabled air compressor?

    Oh wow & I had this happen while I was out of state on a road trip. We drove 300 miles to get back home. & now I'm super afraid to drive anywhere at all. I've been using gf's Silverado to get to work! Augh! The front is super low, (slammed). & the rear is like I'm about to go off-roading...

    Air Suspension Compressor Disabled

    I know this is a thread about Model X driving Dynamics I have a 2014 Model S 85 with 78,000 miles and this just started happening to me yesterday. The front of it looks like it's slammed and the rear looks like I'm about to go off-roading. I've never noticed this before but, one of the wheel...

    MCU1 - who’s gonna try 2020.48.37.8?

    Well it said it was going to take 50 minutes, but it actually took about 15. Says it's complete. Neat. Bluetooth & Wi-Fi stopped working about 3 months ago & I thought this update would fix it. Those two things are still broken. The issue must be hardware related. Oh well. Small price to pay...

    MCU1 - who’s gonna try 2020.48.37.8?

    Installing it right this second while plugged into a level 2 public charger. But the message says "...charging disabled..." so nevermind that.
