    How to remove the back seat rear cover?

    nothing in particular besides one of the bottom hook is not latched in out of the factory. So I re-hook all 4 hooks and taped up some wires. It didn't help much though. The major rattle sources are still the u-latch and the bolster mentioned here(Refreshed Model S - rear seat rattle)

    I removed my back seat back plate to fix some rattles. Here is what you need to know. The driver side rear seat back plate was secured by whole bunch of push pins along and 4 plastic hooks at the bottom. If you start pulling from top all the way down, you should be good. Interesting enough...

    2022 MODEL S PLAID - Cosmetic disaster

    I agree QC should be able to catch all these defects, but I am afraid company has made the decision to delivery the cars with defects anyways since majority of the new owners will accept the cars regardless due to the long wait time. It's a game Elon is playing.

    2022 MODEL S PLAID - Cosmetic disaster

    Dust Behind Instrument Cluster (Cleaning?)

    I didn't know they can clean the dust in between the actual screen and clear plastic piece. Do you know what they did? I might be able to do it myself. They messed up my interior too, the gap between center screen and front dash is much bigger comparing to before. I managed to fix that myself...

    Hi, Is there a way you can get tesla to give you a quote for insurance after owning the vehicle? I know before I take the delivery of my model S, I can get an insurance quote from tesla via its website without actually purchasing the policy. At that time, I decided to go with farmers since it...

    Body shop told me my MS LR had a rear fender repaired at factory

    I understand your points. I live 20 mins from fremont factory and I picked up my car directly from fremont factory. My understanding is that if the car was damaged during production line, they should at least replacing the defected part instead of just do a repair job since the car is still in...

    Body shop told me my MS LR had a rear fender repaired at factory

    I will mention to the SC about this bedsides my original appointment if case there are something they can do about it. However, I don't have the expertise to tell if the repair has been done and I don't fully trust Tesla at this point. Trying to get some 3rd party opinions.

    But what I read is you have to pay deductible first before they can apply your uninsured motorist coverage in California. Am I wrong here?

    Tint choices and suggestions?

    Lesson learned from tinting multiple cars: Front Windshield tint makes a big difference in terms of heat rejection. Two of my previous car both had 20% ceramic back and 35% front tint all around except the windshield. Don't really feel the benefits during hot days. This time I got 70% ceramic...
