    20 inch front & 21 inch rear staggered setup?

    Oem 245/45/19 rubs sometimes up front... as 255/45 on R20 is much taller/wider, I dont see how this could work

    MS 2017 - Autopilot behaves recklessly

    Thx guys, I managed to scroll down to that particular tricky menu and choosed "chill down options" and it seems just right :) FSD is not what it says here?

    MS 2017 - Autopilot behaves recklessly

    Hello, I'm somewhat new to the Tesla world, so I may be asking a little naive. MS 2017 with AP, MCU2, side cameras. Is the following behavior normal? I am driving on ACC and the camera sees a slow moving car in front of me turning right, assesses it as an obstacle and brakes hard. The guy...

    EAP with HW 3, real world benefit FSD in Europe / Netherlands?

    Honestly? Our Bmw 335iA my 2006 has much better ACC (not stop&go) than MS my 2017... previous MB w205 2017 (ACC with stop&go) also more refined, less erratic behaviour... lastly the rented VW T-Cross 2021 ACC worked flavlessly compared to our MS which acts rather harsh, brakes suddenly...

    Does anyone have experience installing fog lights on model S?

    Any update on this? Should I not bother to swap the dummies for real fog lights?

    Has anyone repaired cooling louvers?

    Yes, cause there is the chiller, that robbs "the AC coolness/power" to cool down the battery pack... hence the cabin cooling capacity may be reduced... I doubt that it is normal case, perhaps you are already having a bit low pressure in the AC system?

    Has anyone repaired cooling louvers?

    If those side louvers are open, logically the air will take the path of least resistance and there will be minimal flow through the center radiator, so YES, they have something to do with cooling the battery/drive.

    Has anyone repaired cooling louvers?

    There 2 vents, each in front of the wheel, right behind the AC condenser... and the air enters either from the central opening OR via side louvers... in the central part are 2 flaps that control the amount of air/flow passing throught the water cooler AND leaving throught AC condensers into the...

    Tesla Model S 2018 aftermarket base audio speaker upgrade

    Are we talking about MX? Anyway, once you have the system as described above, I find it hard for her to complain :-) It really fills the space... The only desire left out is the low end spectrum (200 mm wont go much lower than 40-50 Hz... as let say 10´´ subwoofer covers with easy 25-80 Hz).

    Therma test: failure of chiller

    Door handle paddle sensor switch issues

    On top of this selfexplanatory pictures - the depicted unit on the right must be for the front handle as my rear did not have the swith in the handle itself (see the black wrapped cable routed to the top/middle part of the handle - I assume some pressure/micro switch), instead the plug has...

    Tesla Model S 2018 aftermarket base audio speaker upgrade

    Any reputable Hi-Fi shop/specialist will confirm this - skip rear speakers, spent money on front only... Properly tuned 3 way active system sounds much better than any of those 3D, surround etc mimics... as a matter of fact, the 2nd row (or rear door speakers) do next to nothing when it system...

    Tesla Model S 2018 aftermarket base audio speaker upgrade

    Part of it… I first took the easy approach (deadening of doors, replacing oe 6,5” woofers with Audison 3 ohm/93 dB) just to learn about “not exactly 3 ohm/93 dB reality”… the sound was low bass volume (although more accurate)… after some thinking I decided to do it right with DSP processing...

    Model S Refresh Rear Whistling

    I'd start by taping all the gaps in the trunk lid. If the noise is still present, it's more likely mechanical (e.g. differential bearing, wheel hub?).

    Low coolant but no code?

    Hi, does anyone have experience with the following errors? Aero and louvers I understand, but 0014 coolant (is it topped up), compressor (AC or air?) and lowFlow is for water or AC? Suction and discharge are also ac related? The AC system works normally (in the cabin and when recharging).

    20" Model X Slipstream Wheels on Model S

    Anyone tried putting front Model X wheels on the rear axle only? Leave the front 8x19 et40 with 245/45 tires and use 9x20 et35 with 255/40 tires on the rear. Aside from aesthetics, this will also have better handling characteristics (might hurt rear comfort and reduce slightly range - because of...

    Has anyone repaired cooling louvers?

    Apparently it does matter (open v. closed) as I took it apart once more, has set them open and assembled it all together. All are working well now. Prior to this - errors and no movement.

    Closing of Hood Resulting in Damage?

    See attached MY soft-close over MS locking mechanism - clearly one can connect pulling line to the hatch lever where the spring normally sits… the issue is to redo the bracket for the motor and space both parts correctly to synchro entry point with pulling action… 2be continued :-)

    Has anyone repaired cooling louvers?

    How are you suppose to place them back in? Open or closed? Or it doesn’t matter as the actuator can turn in both direction during the initial test? Thx

    Ideal Aftermarket Audio System for Model S

    I have tried to replace the base front 16 cm speakers with Audison AP 6.5 2 Ohm/95 dB only to find out that it doesn’t work well. Low bass/volume (note - Audison and Hertz state sensitivity at 2,83V instead of regular dB/W/m which in the end turns in pretty much the same levels as other...
