    Hey Tesla Owners & Enthusiasts! Spring is here and high energy usage is just around the corner. Las Vegas is one of the fastest growing solar markets in the country and there has never been better time to hear about the opportunity to transition your home to solar power than now. As the...

    Improve the Tesla Dashcam by upgrading side repeater cameras?

    I have been trying to figure out if the side repeater cameras on the 2021 S will fit the older cars. The camera looks bigger but it could just stick out further. My questions is does it have the same connectors and will it fit in the same hole in the fender?

    Upgrading AP cameras

    I am curious if the 2021 side cameras for Model S can be retrofitted? They look like the stick out further but do they fit in the same space as the older part numbers and have the same connectors?

    Vendor PWS on MCU1 AP1 car Retrofit

    Would this retrofit work on an MCU2 car? Would Boombox work then as well?

    Could new Yoke Wheel be retrofit to back models? And would you want to?

    I would do the retrofit and hopefully pick up heated steering wheel feature at the same time. Getting rid of the stalks would be awesome too but where would the shift selector buttons be located?

    Graphite Interior Finish Retrofit Index

    I tried ordering the graphite parts for my car and went all the way up to asking Franz directly and was told no. Some of those graphite parts are fused to another part and can’t be separated. So especially if you have a color that isn’t made anymore like tan you can’t buy the parts. The graphite...

    Graphite Interior Finish Retrofit Index

    I just went a slightly different route and it turned out great. I went to RMHTuning.com and got carbon fiber trim.

    Backseat seatbelts plugs

    Those are indeed for pressure sensors for rear seat seat belt notification. I have heard they became standard in American Model S in October of 2016.Below is what the pressure sensor itself that attaches to the seat bottom looks like.

    WTB rear seat pressure sensor 1005778-00-B

    Thanks, that is exactly what I was looking for. I figured out the mounting as well. Tesla uses double sided tape to attach to the seat bottom there is a little space in the bottom of the cushions that is sensor shaped and has a chanel for the wire.

    WTB rear seat pressure sensor 1005778-00-B

    Do you have the part number for the patch harness and how do the sensors attach to the seat? Do you have any pictures I can reference?

    WTB rear seat pressure sensor 1005778-00-B

    Where did you find them and was this for a retrofit? How did it work? How do they install? I have four unused plugs under my backseat. I assume one is for the seat heaters and the other is for these sensors.

    Model S gets lighted vanity mirrors

    What was the problem? Mine has been working for weeks and just stopped working today. I am trying to figure out how to troubleshoot it.

    Tesla car code names

    Did anyone ever find out what the code name was for the Model X? I have looked all over and couldn't find the answer. I somewhere stumbled onto someone saying it was Pegasus which makes sense but doesn't really fit with the theme of the others.

    Graphite Interior Finish Retrofit Index

    A friend found the part number for the graphite steering wheel. It is pricy since that is the airbag assembly. NAR, DAB ASSY, LEATHER - HEATED GRAPH 1456163-31-A pricing on that one part is around $680. My thought is to change everything else except the steering wheel and some day when and...

    Graphite Interior Finish Retrofit Index

    I haven't yet but I am curious how this new design will wear. The current Satin chrome finish scratches and dents very easily. I have a couple dents in mine already so I am good with swapping for the newer part but I am interested in the wrap in one spot. The dashboard trim at the top is...

    Graphite Interior Finish Retrofit Index

    I went through the parts list today and put together everything that would be needed except for the steering wheel trim. I can't find that anywhere in the parts list. I only see three steering wheel options standard, heated, and PUR VEGAN. I am not sure if anything in this group as a source to...

    "The S and X are better cars than the Model 3" - Elon

    Yes we can take advantage of the v3 charger when the software update rolls out. Yes we will get faster charging as a result. The battery preconditioning will work with S and X while you are driving to a charger which gives us some additional charging speed. What was never made clear is what the...

    LED Headlight RetroFit on Older Cars

    The Karstyle nose upgrade does leave the AP Radar at the bottom of the car. The downside to that is I have had large bugs disable my Autopilot. I think it is safer behind the T but Tesla would have to do that because the AP software would have to be modified.

    Slacker DJ missing from my car?

    I don't hear the DJ audio very frequently. Try the Tesla Top 20 because it starts with the DJ and then tosses it in once in awhile.

    Retrofiting the Winter Package

    So in researching I found this connector unused under my backseat. Anyone with the Cold Weather package know if this is for the seat heaters?

    Retrofiting the Winter Package

    I have been trying to figure this out for awhile now. I have an Oct 2014 car. I know you can see the Cold Weather package wiper heater in the windshield if the car is equipped. So it isn't a turn the feature on in software. The next question is can the parts be added (is the wiring present and...

    Slacker DJ missing from my car?

    DJ only appears in certain slacker channels. If it is a pre built slacker channels you should see DJ otherwise if it is one you created dj doesn't appear.

    LED Headlight RetroFit on Older Cars

    Did you order it from Tesla or from KarStyle? From what Tesla told me there are a lot of changes behind the bumper. Particularly for Autopilot cars like mine. The Radar is now behind the T higher on the bumper to prevent road debris or snow and ice from disabling it. My AP got shutdown by a moth...

    LED Headlight RetroFit on Older Cars

    I hope they will in time let us upgrade our other cars. I want ventilated seats badly but really don't need the Performance Model. :) I speed too much as it is.

    LED Headlight RetroFit on Older Cars

    Those are in the lower capsule with the fogs. I also noticed recently that the fogs turn on when the car is put into reverse. I was just wondering if when they did the tech package lighting or went to HID if they changed the lighting pin out then or if they did it with the 2016 models with LED...

    LED Headlight RetroFit on Older Cars

    Mike, What year is your car? Mine is a late 2014 with tech package and I have the corner lights that turn on when the steering wheel is turned and the fog lamps turn on when the car is in reverse. So i wonder if the pin out is different from 2013 to 2014 but same as the latest incarnation...

    LED Headlight RetroFit on Older Cars

    I am very interested in retrofitting the whole front of my car if possible. I just started researching it recently.

    Let the hacking begin... (Model S parts on the bench)

    Question. What can the toolbox app do beside side load firmware? I installed the lighting in my Model S for Premium lighting and I am trying to figure out how to tell the computer it is there so I get the ambient button.

    Can you retrofit LED headlights?

    The argument for continuing retrofits would be the goal of Tesla is to change how we drive. It takes a lot less energy to upgrade existing hardware and software than to build a whole new car. Particularly on lower volume higher end cars. There will always be need to buy new in case of an...
