    2017 Gen 4 to 2015 Gen 3 Seat swap

    Welp, if anyone searches it, it can't really be done. Gen 3 seats work fine in a newer car, gen 4 seats do not work in an older car. The memory setting stopped working, which wasn't the end of the world... then I realized so did the steering stalk adjuster. It wouldn't respond at all. BUT...

    2017 Gen 4 to 2015 Gen 3 Seat swap

    Going to take a crack at putting the drivers seat from my wife's 15 85D in my 17 P100D tomorrow. I checked the plugs, they look the same, but mine has a third hers does not have a plug for. My hope is it's just for the head rest adjust which she doesn't have now so she won't miss. The bolsters...

    Ultra-eco tire setup for my P100D.

    I actually notice a solid 30 watt difference in just switching to the 19s with the current snow tires on them. The snow tires are cooked and these cars just don’t need snows at all so I want to replace them with eco tires. Like I said if I get another 10-15 watts lower that makes a big...

    Ultra-eco tire setup for my P100D.

    I swear I googled this before asking and didn’t find the answer I was looking for. I have a set of 21s and a set of the 19s. I want to set the 19s up with an Uber eco set of tires for road trips, most notably a 2400ish mile drive I do once a year. I wanted to know if there is a size smaller or...

    Can't get a straight answer... v11 and MCU1?

    Thanks. I actually don't mind it, we have it on our MCU2 car. So strange they cant just answer the question.

    Can't get a straight answer... v11 and MCU1?

    I can't seem to get a straight answer from Tesla. I have a 2017, AP2.5, MCU1 P100D that just had the emmc recall completed. Originally I was told v11 wont install until after the emmc recall is completed, but now its been a few weeks and I am still on 2021.24.28. Teslafi tells me this is the...

    Trick to finding options with Carvana...

    This isn't really the right area for this but I couldn't find a general forum. Just thought I would share my Carvana experience. As usual, the pictures were almost useless in determining what options the car had (it's a 2017 p100d). So, the day you commit to buy a car on there, they will send...

    Another stupid autopilot question I'm sure somebody will answer in seconds...

    As long as autosteer works off the highway on back roads that is enough for me. Thanks a ton.

    Another stupid autopilot question I'm sure somebody will answer in seconds...

    ...but I cant find an answer to. We currently have an AP1 2015 Model S with AP1 autopilot, which is enough for me. AP1 will turn on autosteer on any road it can pick up lane markings on; highway, back road, long driveway, whatever. We are looking to add to the pack and get something 2016 or...

    Looking for guidance - odd vibration cruising between 60-75mph

    This more or less solved the problem I was experiencing. Not perfect but well within what I would consider normal now at highway speeds.

    Looking for guidance - odd vibration cruising between 60-75mph

    Definitely going to try the rear hatch thing because it does feel like buffeting. Now I'm wondering if the vibes are just a Tesla thing. I rented a model 3 on the vacation I'm on and it has a similar feel through the steering wheel. Both cars have lane departure warnings off.

    Looking for guidance - odd vibration cruising between 60-75mph

    So I bought a used MS with 53k on it and its pretty much been a headache from day one. I had the MCU upgraded to solve the first headache, which took tesla 16 days, but now that's done. I told them about this vibration while it was there and they checked the half shafts and confirmed they are...

    Sell 2014 Model S before 8 Year warranty expires?

    ...and you can adjust your vents like a normal person. All jokes aside, there are a lot of EV specialists popping up these days saving people a lot of money on "failed" batteries. Where tesla will only replace the whole pack, a company like electrified garage will address the fault in your...

    New Model S owner - questions on Tesla estimate

    Agreed, I dropped the brake as they're good to go. Going to chat with the service tech there before going forward with the charger but I have a feeling it has to do with using CCS fast chargers that is coming, so I would take them up on that. The BMC failed/failing seems like too much of a...

    Sell 2014 Model S before 8 Year warranty expires?

    Good to know. I have one of two hopes... it shits the bed in the next 1.5 years, or never. Electrified Garage is also somewhat near me in NH. So I hope to have plenty of options if/when the battery goes. I don't really expect to have this car more then 3 years so I am not too worried.

    New Model S owner - questions on Tesla estimate

    Interesting... let me see if I can get more detail. That's why I posted here! Here is the bulletin: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2016/SB-10081836-5448.pdf Another Edit: This must be something to do with the CCS charging adapter and getting the charge speed up if I want to use non-tesla...

    New Model S owner - questions on Tesla estimate

    That's how it is explained to me. I am getting the impression it only has a primary charger and no secondary charger? So adding the secondary should up the charge speed capability. OR its an upgrade to the current secondary charger. Either way I was told it will improve supercharging speeds.

    Sell 2014 Model S before 8 Year warranty expires?

    I just bought a 2015 with 53k on it and a warranty expiration looming in the next 1.5 years for 51 grand. That is a pile of money for a 7 year old EV. Why did I do it? To me, being in a Model S with a potential 11k cost looming is well worth it instead of driving around in one of those...

    New Model S owner - questions on Tesla estimate

    After chatting with them a bit more we're going to ditch the brake portion as the brakes have loads of life left and don't seem to have any cold weather issues. It was 7 degrees the other day and no vibrations from them at all. Other then that I am proceeding with all of it. I was actually...

    New Model S owner - questions on Tesla estimate

    I can't seem to find an edit button. I said five grand because there were a couple items they hadn't thrown on there but looking back through the history of the car they were just previous customer complaints they don't think I'll need.

    New Model S owner - questions on Tesla estimate

    Long story short I bought a Model S that wouldn't update navigation Data. The MCU just crashes eventually over and over again when the download gets to about 1/3rd. So I brought it to Tesla service where they were very helpful and informed me that the previous owner effectively did none of the...
