The stl is technically not editable, but I started with an stl file off Thingiverse and modified it in TInkercad adding solid and negative-space objects to enlarge the hole to fit my charger, and a few other mods to better fit the charger cord in the back side. If you're clever with Tinkercad...

Thanls and I agree on the ABS. I made the one in the photo, and the previous design tests, with PLA+. I plan to see how it performs in my car, that is rarely left in the sun. If it doesn't last, I'll make another out of ABS.

I could not find a reasonably priced aftermarket adapter bracket to allow wireless iPhone charging in my 2020 LR S. I didn't think a 3-D printed part should cost $130-$160 so I looked to Thingiverse. I found a design that is modeled after the original Tesla adapter and uses an Apple MagSafe...

I'm not sure how to do that, but I'll research it a bit.

The car started a few hours later while I was looking for the terminals to charge the 12V battery, but I hadn't done anything and I wasn't in the cabin- it just decided to start. There are no battery warnings, notifications or any evidence that it had a problem, but it definitely would not...

There were no notifications on the service page. Thanks for the links to the reset procedures but most of those, other than the button reset, require going into the screen setting, which is impossible if the screens are off.

Drove my 2020 S LR on Wed. and all was well - no 12V battery or other warnings. Went to take my wife out to dinner this evening and the car would not activate. The door handles presented, the frunk and truck worked, brake lights, etc., but the dash and console remained inert. Changed the fob...

For anyone interested, I've been waiting to get some minor service done on my 2020 S LR but while I know there's activity at the new Upland, CA service center, it doesn't come up as an option on the app. I called Tesla this morning and was told that they're currently sending mostly limited...

2014 with 45K miles when I sold it Nov. 2019 to get a 2020 S. Never had a problem with the handles. Parked in the sun most days, garaged at night.

Update: Urgent Mobile Service asked me to try the two-top-button reset, which didn't work. After thinking about it they decided it had to be towed. The service center this morning said normally one of the displays is "on" and they can OTA update or troubleshoot but in this case with both...

I called them and they set up an "Urgent Mobile Service" that should arrive or contact me within 6 hours. I didn't know that had an "Urgent" version of the mobile service. Let's see if they can fix it in place or end up towing it to a SC. Have others experienced this type of failure with a...

Yes. I tried the scroll wheel reset but nothing happens. I considered calling roadside, but the car is physically driveable, though perhaps not legally so (no turn signals or speedometer). If I can't find a fuse to try and pull-and-re-seat, I will call them. It seems the turn signals are...

Both displays on my 3 month old 2020 S did not come on yesterday or this morning, and nothing in the cabin operates (HVAC, interior lights, radio, garage door auto opener, etc.). Also, my exterior turn signals are not working. Of course, one can no longer speak to anyone in service at Tesla...

4.5 years on with my S and while I've not always liked all of the changes from one version to the next, I usually saw most of the updates as improvements, or at worst just "different", but I've never been as disappointed as with this update: loss of customization, extra clicks to open the...

I have tried all three modes - no difference. I haven't tried + or - to zoom, and I will (thanks for the suggestion), but it's also about positioning the car on the screen where I want it and keeping the map from rotating with curves in the road or pointing "North" - I want the map to remain...

I'm sure I'll get used to the new UI at some point and I realize there's no point in complaining about it, but when it comes to navigation I am very frustrated in that I used to be able to swipe and pinch the screen to whatever view I wanted while navigating and it would stay that way. That...

Occasionally after I hand wash my 2014 S85 the sunroof will not close complete or will close part way then open fully. I don't wash the car with the sunroof open, but I do open it to wipe down the perimeter seals. A few hours later, or a day, it works fine. Something appears to be getting wet...

Just extended my wife's MB lease another 6 months, so...we're going to wait.

Thanks. I had not been pressing long enough.

The left portion of my center display no longer shows what song is playing, it's just blank gray. The volume control does come up when I change volume and nav still display there so I know the display is not defective. Did Tesla stop showing song info or is this a setting I don't know about?

For comparison, I also live in the SGV, assuming you mean the one in SoCal. I have the same mileage but lower deductibles and a yearly premium through Farmers for my 2014 S85 of $1496. No tickets, no accidents, 3 insured cars (MB, Toyota PU), plus my house and an umbrella policy. The PU is...

I got the invitation last week. I presumed everyone got one, but maybe not. I've never driven my S up there, but I drove to Solvang two months ago, SD three monhts ago and Vegas 2 weeks ago, so maybe they figured it would be just a matter of time. Like dauger, it's unlikely I would swap...

This seems like a reasonable compromise. Even though I had a CHP pull into the HOV lane and follow me for 5 miles, but not stop me, and several MC CHP pass me without incident, I assume it's just a mater of time before I get pulled over without any stickers. I will, however, continue to risk a...

I picked up my S last June in SoCal and the SC suprised my by informing me I was part of a special state program to issue carpool lane stickers to 20 Teslas at the time of delivery (rather than have to wait a month or two to get them in the mail). That was great, but I haven't been able to...

That's a solution, sure, but the issue is this is a new behavior, at least for my car, following the 6.1 release. I've always had to unpause the radio if I paused it before leaving the car. And again, the odd thing is it only happens in the morning.

Let me clarify my OP - I only ever listen to Slacker and put it on pause from the steering wheel (the closest I know of turning it off). Regardless of whether it was paused all day, as I'm driving into my garage or after I park the car, it is playing in the morning. I always ensure it is pause...

Ever since I downloaded 6.1, and with no improvement after the 6.1 update last week, the radio is on when I get in the car in the morning, depsite my having either turned off the radio or not used it the day before. It seems like a minor thing, but I listen to very different music than my wife...

Though I rarely need it, Tesla's nav system has been so quirky and unreliable, that we always run Google maps on my wife's iPhone as our primary nav system and just try to be amused at the Tesla's bizarre and frequently useless routing. Last night we used it and experienced a new flaw as well...

I have to agree on a new found appreciation for the difference to ICEs. My S85 replaced my leased C250 in June, but my wife still drives her matching C-250. I drove it this past weekend for the first time since June and I was shocked at how noticeable were the vibrations, noise, lack of power...

Invited to Telsa's ("D"?) Unveiling Oct. 9th I got an invitation to RSVP this morning to attend a "Tesla Unveiling" at the Hawthorn Airport (near Los Angeles) on October 9th. Is the Tesla 3 now the Tesla "D"? Was everyone invited?

Sadly, as Tesla sales increase and EVs from BMW, MB, Kia, Nissan and others take off, and they will, this will become an increasing problem. It's just a matter of time before we read about fights, keyed cars and worse. It's no different than SUV and large car owners who park in "compact"...

Driving on the streets in any car is just different shades of boring depending on the car. Go out and buy a vintage formula or sedan race car and race on the weekends. You will NOT be bored and you WILL find quirks in your car. You will also learn how to drive a car well, but you will also...

Thanks for the idea, I'll check apps more carefully the next time, but when this happens, the phone and Siri are inactive and pretty much the only apps I ever use on the phone are email, texting, weather and my calendar. I don't think any of those would access the microphone input.

I searched but couldn't find a similar question. Occasionally (maybe 6 times since I picked up my S85 2 months ago), the car will initiate a phone call to my iPhone 5s when the phone is in my pocket or plugged into a USB cable. The phone does not register there is a call coming in or going...

Mine is 2 months old with only the factory armor film. While I've gone back and forth on wrapping and tinting a dozen times, in the end, I think it is not worth the added expense. I've owned a fair number of nice cars including a Ferrari and never had any of them wrapped or tinted and all of...

I had the chance to test drive air and coil S85s twice before I ordered my car back in April. IMO, the air suspension is a smoother, cushier ride but also has a bit less road feel, though not by much, and about what I would expect from a well designed air suspension. The coil system is a bit...

How are you getting free electricity? Other than SC stations the only options I have are solar and the power company, both of which are far from free.

I only have one UMC permenently installed in my garage. Everywhere I have, or am likely to go, (Palm Springs, Vegas, San Diego, Santa Barbara) has some sort of charging station available with their own cables so I don't see the point of having one in the car, for my travels at least.

Of course Elon says they may incorporate some of the ideas in the letter, but this was hardly the first time Tesla has heard of these common ideas and the letter is unlikely to have done anything except give Tesla some free publicity.

Adding the weight of an additional battery pack behind the rear axle would have a noticeable affect on the handling characteristics of the car, notably inducing even more understeer than the car already has. Then add in cargo and you may need wheelie bars to keep the front end on the ground...

I don't have Opticoat and it hasn't rained in Southern California since I bought the car, but the SC told me when I picked up my car that the system was based on Mercedes' and I absolutely hated the MB speed algorithm in the three MBs I've had over the past 5 years. I wish I could turn off...

Are you saying you are getting only 15K miles on a set of rears? Mind if I ask what they cost you?

I'll definitely check this, but in my case I hear the sound even when the sound system is on mute! How would cell phone interference do that? Another problem I've experienced is if I plug my phone in to the USB port then turn on the car, the car seems to think there is an ongoing call and goes...

+1. I even tried yelling into it to get voice commands to work.

My 2 month old S85 has what I think is a speaker power line short. The standard left A-pillar speaker crackles for seconds at a time intermittently, sometimes when I turn the steering wheel, but this happens even when the the sound system is muted. At other times the AM radio will suddenly...

Didn't intend for my first post on the forum to be about reliability, but... I've had my S85 for almost 2 months and it is a great car. So far I've had only 2 problems. The first is the left A pillar speaker has a power line short so that the speaker will randomly crackle for 5-10 seconds...
