    Rear trunk won't open

    My 2015 Model S actuator quit yesterday...lift gate was closed and locked...with the help of the video posted in this thread , I was able to open the lift gate, and then remove the required panels to expose the wiring and actuator. Emergency exit cable didn't budge. With the free 1 year...

    Which Portable Compressor to Buy?

    I bought an inflator last week from Amazon...a Slime 40022. I saw your VIAIR choices and I think they are all great based on reviews I read. My reasons for picking the Slime unit instead: I've driven more than 500,000 miles without a flat (sweet!), it is small and only weighs 1 pound (less cargo...

    Rust...anybody seen this?

    ...My understanding from the SC is that the "part" they ordered is actually a kit containing what is needed to re-coat the steel part. It was explained that there has been a "handful" of units where the factory coating process "missed" some of the steel and left it exposed... As near as I can...

    Rust...anybody seen this?

    Yeah it's pretty strange...it wiped off effortlessly with a damp cloth. I'm going to look at possibly some water was introduced by spraying the wheel wells...bottom line something in there needs some paint. The car hasn't been out of my sight since I washed it on Sunday, except for when I was...

    Rust...anybody seen this?

    What spray nozzle? the one I wash with? Nope... After taking a closer look after my post, it appears the water enters from around the headlights and exits from the rear edges of the fender openings as the photo shows. Nothing above the car is a source. There is no rust residue above the...

    Rust...anybody seen this?

    My Model S has 2400 total miles. I just found this on both sides and haven't seen mention of it on the Tesla threads...I'm pretty sure this is a result of washing the car since it's winter here... If you know what causes it, tell me. It looks like something made of steel hidden in there needs a...
