It also looks to slightly open the blower blender door, which can be seen in service mode

Parts were around 200-250 right? I got lucky getting the button for free, but personally I would paid $150 for it.

Given other hepa retrofits were $500, you’ll still come out on top to be fair…

I hadn’t asked in a while, so I figured I would open another ticket. That same day Support reached back out to me and asked me to clarify my request about adding the config option. then I explained that I had purchased in retrofitted the hardware, and did not hear back. This morning I went to...

As someone who has a vision only car, I’m all for improving my visibility. Honestly though, I’m not impressed with the light output of these, at least from the pictures. Id rather have an OEM matrix retrofit, but I know that will never happen. Something like these might just have to do

you are not voiding the warranty. Tesla will not warranty the home link module, that’s it’s. It’s not like the entire warranty is void if you touch a tool to the car….

Well I finally got a more “official” answer from a Service tech: “we don’t offer the software retrofit since the hardware retrofit “does not fit” so therefore is not supported. I could not get any more details on what “does not fit” since I noted no issues with fitment, and there are no other...

I’m not sure who we need to complain to, but I’m ready to do what ever is needed. We are not asking for anything like FSD, it’s simply a quality of life feature.

Probably not, but I wouldn’t be surprised if three did randomly fall off over time.

Well I just had an independent certified Tesla shop take a crack at it and they were not able to. Apparently they even reached out to contacts at Tesla. At this point I guess I give up ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yes they fit, just not very tight. I had tried a set, but I can’t find the picture at the moment

It will still be a toss up on if they even do it. I’ve had two mobile techs out, both said no.

Another mobile service appointment, a new tech, another failure. I guess I will have to be patient and continue trying or try other service centers when I’m on road trips.

Teslas fragmentation with support is horrible for customer morale. I’ve asked nicely and explained why so many times but still keep getting the run around :(

It was a one off listing from about a year ago. Just search the part number on eBay.

So you got yours reactivated via a third party with access to Toolbox?

The tabs that get bolted down are out in the open and you can just use a sharpie/paint pen through the holes; unless you’re talking about something else and I’m misunderstanding

There is a single bolt/nut (can’t recall which) that hold it on. I’m guessing folks who have done this install the duct, install the filter, then mark where the holes are. Pretty straight forward.

I would say yes, especially if you don’t have the config option for HEPA enabled. The filter is the entire width of the apron opening, so having half closed would impact airflow.

Can confirm the retrofit is no longer adjustable.

Trust me. I’ve done that. Would you be willing to share a general location of the SC/tech you worked with? The tech who I’m chatting with was curious. I don’t want to get anyone in trouble, which is why I said general; but if you don’t want to say I understand.

I was just denied again, and told that it will not be an approved retrofit… perhaps I’ll just keep trying with different mobile techs, or random service centers as I’m traveling?

I don’t think anyone wants to cause any issues, maybe just see what keywords or verbiage was used. Idk about others but I’d happily pay for a config change and have it done in a way that doesn’t screw a tech/SC

Lucky… I can’t get a tech/my local SC to even budge :(

If it’s new, it’s probably just off gassing and will eventually stop. I also had this issue when I first got my car

Let me know whatcha got

Yes, but not 100% until Tesla is willing to make the config change. And even if they are, you’ll have to get the lights through them which will be much more than the $300-$400 you can get a set on eBay for.

Some have, some have not. I’m unfortunately in the “not” category.

The fan curve is different as well, hopefully one day they’ll allow techs to turn change the config

If I recall, it sits below the speakers (from a photo or two I’ve seen)

Thanks for the insight. It’s harder to justify since I have fairly dark tint for privacy but it helps with cabin noise I might just do it.

Is there anywhere in car you could stash the cover if you end up needing all the extra cargo space unexpectedly? Any update on driving noise?

I was told it was validated as a retrofit, but tabled for the time being. Could be tomorrow, could be never.

I’d be interested in them shipped. I’ll send you a pm

I asked him that, and was told no. Apparently toolbox is more for diagnostics?

My mobile tech told me today he could not enable BWD at this point, but that in the future they might be able to. Seems very hit or miss (surprise surprise) on if a tech will do the config change. I totally understand their side though, as they don’t want to be reprimanded. Just a shame Tesla...

How’s the match to the stock alcantara

I had this issue as well. Mobile service took the door panel off and fixed/adjusted something

https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/6787170/ https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/6807834/

I saw on Reddit someone was able to convince a tech to enable BWD mode. They also noted there was an increase in air pressure/speed when just using the “intake fresh air” setting. Time to start smooth talking service/mobile service tech.

Ordered June 11th, they were ready June 20th.

Got all my parts yesterday. The service tech more or less confirmed that there weren’t other parts needed and that the retrofit shouldn’t cause issues. You can clearly tell the decreased flow when using the non recirculate setting, and full fan speed with no recirculate does seem to provide less...

I just asked via my parts request, and was told it’s is not something they can do at this time. I plan to ask next time Mobile service is needed as they seem more willing to bend the rules

Strange, I did service > something else, asked to order the parts, pasted and sent it. They ordered the parts and sent the invoice. It’s a shame Tesla is so disjointed on the SC offerings.

I too was hoping to find something in the wiring diagrams, but haven’t had a chance to look yet. I’m not hopeful….

Do you see the “spot lighting” of each led, or is it a consistent glow?

OP said browser in his first post. So Tesla must have updated how long the browser will stay open while driving.

Only thing I can think of is make sure you push them in all the way. I’ve only had mine fall out one time and that was after weeks of opening and closing the door.
