    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    The full package ( tint, paint correction, PPF, ceramic coating ) is typically $5k to $7k... could be more or less but depends on the PPF coverage you want, which ceramic coating (and if you want the calipers and wheels coated, etc), and the condition of the paint before they start. If you...

    WTB: Tesla Charge Cable

    Hello JoLee, Thanks so much for the offer. Again, I wouldn't feel right about chopping up a functional device. I'll hold off until a broken one (or just a cable) becomes available. Best of luck, $200 is a great price for someone needing an extra charger! Thanks, LK

    WTB: Tesla Charge Cable

    Thanks ktr_, I'll keep an eye on your ebay listing. Charged shark: Yeah, I'm not really looking at spending that much.. I only really need the Tesla cable, which I think is specific to US and Canada models, so one from NZ wouldn't be expected to work anyway. Thanks for checking though! :) LK

    WTB: Tesla Charge Cable

    Looking for a failed tesla charge adapter, or more specifically, the cord and attached charge plug which would plug into a Model S or X. As long as the cord and Tesla plug end are in usable shape, that's all I need. Shipping (or local pickup) in/around the Las Vegas, NV area (zip: 89139)...

    Rear trunk won't open

    If the car thinks anything is open, it won't let any of the driver assistance features function. Not even standard cruise control. Was a rough few days w/o cruise control when mine was in the failed state.

    Rear trunk won't open

    Sorry to bump an old thread, but on Saturday, this happened on my Oct 2015 built S90D. I was detailing the car, had the rear hatch open for an extended period while I was vacuuming, etc in the Phoenix AZ heat. Closed it, tried to open a few minutes later and got the beeps but no movement...

    Corded Mobile Connector -- 120v across the L1 - L2 legs?

    Got to test today, and GREAT NEWS! It works! To be clear, the new, corded mobile connector ( with a hard-wired NEMA 14-50 plug ) will accept 120v across the L1 and L2 connections just like the original UMC. This means you can use any of the available adapters (or make your own) that provide...

    note -- I accidentally posted this previously in the vehicle 4sale area and asked immediately for it to be relocated here, but that hasn't happened, so posting again for better visibility in the proper sub-forum. I also originally thought it was the 24' version, but checked my sales slip and...

    Corded Mobile Connector -- 120v across the L1 - L2 legs?

    Hey all, I'm looking at the Corded Mobile Connector as a semi-stationary charging solution while I keep my UMC in the car for the odd "emergency" use. I have some special circumstances that require me to use a lot of RV-30 amp connections for which I created my own adapter that uses the NEMA...

    Security Flaw?

    I can confirm a similar experience... I trailer my S inside an enclosed car hauler behind my motorhome. Due to the alignment of the exit doors on the car hauler and the front doors on the S, I have to back the S into the hauler and exit from the passenger side. In my instance, I use the...

    Noob question on Opticoat , XPel ultimate and "Nanolex?"

    Having my entire MS90D covered with Nano-Fusion PPF, and every window tinted with ceramic tint. Total bill just over $6k with a discount for being referred from Tesla. This is a special car (at last for me), so I want alum the protection I can get. LK

    Tesla Paint is the most delicate automobile paint I've ever seen

    I picked up my S and drove it straight to the garage for an application of Z-W w/ ZFX followed up with Z-8. It looks amazing, and I completely agree, their techniques are great for preventing damage to your paint. Used their stuff and techniques for over 10 years now. I just dropped the car...

    Firmware 7.0

    I had the same experience here in Vegas. The turtles are almost certainly the issue. I did find I could engage AP if I was in either the far right or left lanes since they had an adjacent painted line (on 215)... But it drifted a bit too much toward the other lane for my comfort (and that if...

    My delivery was a bit a-typical... I'd already had experience w/ the car, so I opted to not do the full song & dance.

    Should I stealth wrap over my deep metallic blue MS?

    Hey Lucy, before you go with xpel, see if you can get ahold of a sample of the nano-fusion film. I was surprised at the difference of quality/feel. Plus, nano-fusion has a lifetime warranty vs xpel's 10 yr (iirc). Gonna look great either way on that blue!

    The general term is Paint Protection films. There are a few very reputable brands of film out there, and usually any major metro area has a couple of local shops that will do the install. I priced out wrapping the entire MS with the Xpel self-healing stuffs at around $5k. Here's a video to...

    RejeX Polymer Coating - So Slick, Bugs Can't Stick! (Really?)
