Is the regular rounded spoiler OEM style version 2 also or only the duckbill version is your latest blow molding manufacturing? I prefer the regular rounded or OEM style but your link on Amazon appears to show it only having the glossy black version. There's no option for carbon fiber or matte...

I purchased my precut kit from Northtints on ebay. I don't know if they are still there. The precuts were fairly well designed and had a good fit overall. The only place I had a major issue with was the front bumper and more likely had to do with my lack of skill than the kit itself.

My car had about 80 miles on it when I started. I clay bar it because that was the advise a number of PPF installers gave me. Today I backed out of my garage thinking my trunk was shut and did not realize it was still up and scratched the top edge badly. No PPF there. I didn't think to apply...

I took three weekends to do my hood, both fenders, headlights, all four doors and front bumper. And a small strip at the rear trunk lip to protect from scratches due to loading and unloading stuff. I skipped the mirrors. Bumper should be done last when you have the most confidence and not...

I guess we know it's possible but we just do not know how your shop did it.

Has anyone tried installing the Hansshow seat massage module to the retrofitted passenger side lumbar controls to see if it bypasses whatever is bricking the controls?

I won't pretend to know what you are doing with the code but is it possible to identify the configuration that works for the driver seat and try those iteratively for the passenger seat? If someone has a working lumbar control in their pre April 2021 build and could let you know what the...

If you are able to figure out how to get the Tesla module working via the toolbox or if you are able to get the BMW module to work, that would be great. Keep us updated.

Just wanted to follow up and see if you successfully pulled this off using the BMW modules? If you did, please provide a step by step is possible. I don't read electric circuitry but can follow pics and written instructions. My wife just realized her lumbar controls don't work anymore...

Mobile service came by for an unrelated minor issue today and took a look at my lumbar controls. The tech was really friendly and helpful and indicated that to change the configuration would require the help of engineering and none of the techs would be able to do it. He was going to ask...

For those of us who retrofitted the car with the right hardware, the seats worked until sometime mid of this year when a software update bricked the seats. Please read through this thread from the start. The OP has already indicated he checked his replacement seat, observed the controller and...

That's just another level of low. If they replaced it with a seat having the hardware, at least change your configuration to indicate it has it. Have you requested the SC to change it for you? Then tweet Elon since he said he wanted to know about service issues.

I know the independent shop wants to ensure they have business but it would be helpful if we understood how they did it. Were you able to get the service center to reactivate your lumbar controls? If so, what exactly did you have to do or say to get them to reactivate it?

No regrets for us but then we started with a Prius sometime around 2007, then a Mercedes B class EV around 2016 which had a purported 120 mile range (not even close), then had to switch to an Acura RDX in 2019, because the B class turned out to be a lemon and was bought back after three years...

It would be great if you get it to work. Please post photos and your process. While it would suck for me to dismantle my retrofit and have to redo, it's better than having it totally bricked by Tesla in their infinite wisdom. I'm not on Twitter but since Elon is focused on improving service...

They give you a small one time EV rebate and hit you with higher annual registration renewal fees. My first renewal just came in at $675, compared to my previous ICE registration at around $250. I'm happy with my MYLR but CA likes to find as many ways to tax you without calling it a tax.

I agree that it looks very much like the version I purchased from Aliexpress. Eventually they all make their way to Amazon or other reseller like RPM, teslarati, etc.

I agree about the color closely matching the head liner that you hardly notice it. I had the black version previously and hated it. Made the cabin feel oppressive. This light greyish color looks so close to the headliner fabric, it looks OEM to my eyes. My wife didn't notice the sunshade for...

Yes, I'm fairly happy with their performance considering we had a heatwave over the weekend with temperatures over 100 degrees and my car was parked out in the sun as we ran some chores. The car did not get as hot as when I did not use the shades or when I had the black roof shades. Simple...

I just signed up fr the free 1 year repair subscription plan hoping that somewhere in the codes PDF would be an option to turn back on the lumbar controls but no joy. It's just a list of their service codes.

Yes, mine comes with 12 white/ semi translucent clips. The fit between the two panels where they come together is fairly good with no visible gaps and no light coming through. As someone else pointed out, I think they are made by one or more manufacturers using similar designs. They tend to...

My shades arrived a couple of weeks ago and I installed them. Product description and photos indicate they have labels for the front and back but mine did not have the labels. The tag is there but no lettering. It's pretty self explanatory because the front and back pieces have different...

Without knowing or seeing the schematics and what is controlled by the MCU, we can only guess but we already know that Tesla is able to pull data from almost anything in the car. It likely means they can disable anything they can obtain data from. The lumbar controls for sure and very likely...

I don't think they will restore functionality anytime soon. It'll give lie to,"no one is using it." They already removed data from the USB-C's in the center console. Now they are not including the mobile charger with new cars. I'm waiting to see what else gets removed.

They said the same thing about the passenger side lumbar controls. "No one was using it". So many defended them when they did it. Some of us installed them ourselves but two firmware updates ago, they brick the controls of the DIY-ers. Again this was defended by many. Now they have come for...

Congratulations! For a first time, it looks really good. Much better than my effort. I have some creases near the bottom of my front bumper and my kit did not have as good a fitment as yours. Lessons learned. Did you share links for your kit for others?

Congrats! I did the same thing. I didn't drive my car when I first bought it, until I had completed the PPF installation. That's a lot of self control because every part of me wanted to take the car out for a spin but I didn't want to have to clean and prep the car each time.

Agree about the doors. I did full ppf for all four doors. They were the easiest to do and the best to start on, with the bumper the last to do. The PPF has already paid for itself with the amount of damage it has received from road debris. The paint below remains fine but the ppf after almost...

I just placed an order on Ali Express for a similar version of the two piece but with a light grey color and a reflective top. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004056240702.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.0.0.21ef1802xJ0Kzh Once I receive it and install it, I'll provide a review of it here...

This is frustrating beyond belief. We had it working and now they have deactivated it. I doubt a lumbar controller configuration would impact anything else significant in the car to have it deactivated like this.

Has anyone been able to get the lumbar controls to work again or had success getting the service center to change the cars config to show it has lumbar seat controls?

There's just no reason to deliberately remove our ability to use our retrofitted lumbar controls other than sheer pettines to prove their point that no one uses it. These are cars that are supposed to be premium and we have installed the controls on our own, at our own expense and time. I get...

Yes, please let us know if they can get it working again. It's frustrating to put in all this effort to install it on our own and have them disable it for no good reason. While they may have data showing people not using it, those of us who installed it, do. If anyone finds a mechanical method...

I received notification from my cc that I received a refund from the vendor today. As for posting the photos above, they left out the one where I have a tape measure indicating the 2" gap in the passenger side mat. As you can see in my previous posts in the update thread #10, I noted the...

I have never experienced that on my 2021 MYLR. I have my charging set to 12:15am. It always chargers right on the dot. No issues and has never changed a setting on me. Have you checked to see if both your setting in the car and on your phone app are the same? I noticed that the charge limit...

As an update to my post above. Jason has been making calls to my phone several times over the last couple of days. It was not a number or name I recognized from Florida so I ignored it since I was in the middle of work and meetings. I answered today and he states that he has refunded me my...

I suggest you read through the 17 different threads related to these mats, the service and make your own decision. As for me, I sent them an email with photos and followed up with a post in this forum and a couple of responses to Jason. Resent my email per a response from Jason and finally...

I have the same issue and I sent photos in my email to Jason and also posted in the update #10 thread.

Labor and parts? That's not bad.

As mentioned in one of my earlier posts, I'm ok with the rear mats. I can live with it. It's the passenger side mat that has the 2" gap at the top lip that is an issue. The driver side does not fit all that great either but I can put up with it. There are no OEM mats underneath as you had...

Sorry to see that you have bad fitment like mine. After my response to Jason, I have received no other replies. I'm stuck with mats that do not look like what was shown on the website and which do not fit well with obvious gaps. I hope you have better luck with a response or replacement with...

Good luck. I hope you get the right ones. Yes, I wished I had gone with some of the other manufacturers I researched. I bought this based on the pre-order price, so I'm to blame for not following my initial research.

I did and Jason's response was that I left my existing carpets on when I installed the new ones. I just told him that I removed the existing carpets before installing the Teslashield versions. Frankly at this point, I don't really care anymore but the 2" gap is a bad fit. I know others have...

I finally received my order #2347 (7/23/2021) but just like sodaboy581, the driver and passenger mats do not look like what was shown on the Teslashield website. The driver side sort of fits but is not a great fit. If you try pressing down at the dead pedal or in some of the corners you can tell...

It's too bad the SC gave you the run around but glad you could get the parts on eBay. Also interesting to note that you had a screw and not that plastic expansion fastener on mine. Looks like they use whatever parts they happen to have available on the assembly line.

I ordered mine 7/26/21 order number #2347. Based on what you just stated above, I'm way overdue on my order for my MYLR 2021. I know you left a voicemail but would prefer receiving my order sooner rather than later. I think I have been very patient.

I finally received a response and it was a cut and paste of an email which was sent out around Thanksgiving to other customers. No tracking number provided and that email was so vague, that I'm still unsure if I will see my mats this year. I do regret buying from TeslaShields and could have...

They have not responded to my last inquiry about status. The last time they communicated was to tell me that they would be shipping in two weeks and I would receive a tracking number but that was the first week of November. Clear communications would probably have served them and their...

I'm not sure I like the look of the wood trim on the doors. I like the way my MY looks right now without the wood trim. The headlights would have been nice but the ones I have are bright enough and since I don't know what I'm missing, it's not a big deal. Sure, point them here but they need...

Basically what was in the Electrek article - New Teslas delivered with surprise missing USB ports due to parts shortages Unfortunately without a PR department, there's no way to independently confirm if they will retrofit in the future. For the lumbar support, I did try to use the BBB to get...
