    HOW TO: Replace Headlights in Refresh (2016+) Model S

    Looking for a passenger side assembly for mx 2016+ model S (Switzerland). Service tech said 1053575-20-C was the proper replacement part number; now I am not so sure... thoughts?

    Fix for torn wheel well liner?

    Greetings All I had a tire blow out late last summer, and apparently it has torn away the wheelwell liner where it meets the body (driver side rear blow). Is there an easy fix for this (other than replacement)? Can I just use black silicone adhesive ? I would like to do this before we have...

    Death of a center screen / touch screen after warranty

    I am now a member of this club. The MCU on my P90D (built May 2016) just died completely. I was given an appointment 4 weeks into the future. The next day, the airbag warning light came on. Tesla told me to bring the car in right away. They have had it 2 days, with the last message telling me...

    Tesla moments

    Just a point of amazement.... I had to move the front seats forward and eat my kneecaps, but I did manage to get a full sized 19" rack into the back to dispose of it.

    Tesla moments

    At my local garage to get the winter tires put on; they have assured me that they have done this with several Tesla. All good from my side. After pulling in they didn't completely like how my S was positioned over the lift. As I was already out of the car, I motioned to one of them to just jump...

    Tesla moments

    Is it fair to say that my moment today was realising one year has gone by without visiting a gas pump?

    Tesla moments

    It keeps happening.... I am stopped at a busy crosswalk and more often than not a small child stops dead in their tracks to look at the car. Next step is the adult nearby tugging at their hand to get out of the street before the light changes ;)

    Need to make a decision on Tesla Model S

    Just to chime in - I saw -30% last winter when we were skiing at -25°C. P90D sat all day, and we drove back to Davos with 45km range left (a 9km trip). Due to the cold start, I have considerably less than 10k range left when we got to Davos...

    Just ordered my first Tesla - questions on charger

    Question for the OP: Do the English Teslas take 240v 3-phase power as in Europe?

    Community help needed - Underground garage & wifi summon...

    No, I am standing outside of my car, attempting to summon it from my parking space (where the drivers side is squeezed up against the wall). If I have to try to open one of the car doors, then that defeats the entire exercise...

    No, key fob in Europe is not allowed. And I just checked 17.14.23 in the garage, no go.

    Greetings All I have originally raised this point with Tesla (mail to ServiceHelpEU <[email protected]>) - briefly the problem is: I have underground parking here in Switzerland. It is very, very common. Along with running 400v triple phase to my two parking spots, I pulled a few strands...

    Tesla moments

    My best TM to date - shortly after picking up my P90D we were behind something very low and sporty leaving the village. It took a few moments to register that it was a Ferrari (most here are red, metallic grey or black - this one was cream white). I muttered something about "that must suck". My...

    Tesla Switzerland: Technically not possible to upgrade your P90D...

    I am post-refresh, so I don't think the bumper comes into play in my case. When they do eventually call me, I will try and press them for details. It seems to me they are pressuring for the up-sell - "technically" has nothing to do with it...

    Tesla Switzerland: Technically not possible to upgrade your P90D...

    So, having registered my interest in eventually upgrading to a 100kWh battery, I finally received a call from Tesla over the Easter holiday. They said it was not "technically possible to upgrade my P90D (2016)" to a 100kWh battery. I'm thinking bullsh*t on that comment... they said someone else...

    whispbar with cargo box

    I will get back to the group with numbers in a few weeks after the sport vacation here in Switzerland. I can tell you that I lost 30% range when the temperature dropped to -20°C. I can't make a determination with my roof box yet... it's still too new

    What's with the snowflake?

    Saw the famed blue snowflake two weeks ago during the Telemark festival here. -22°C, left for Davos with 49km range left. 8km later in Davos I had 9km left when plugging in.... too close for comfort.

    Sommer garage door opener incompatible with Tesla Homelink

    Only side here, the existing receiver was not homelink compatible, but it was possible to wire in a new parallel receiver. This configuration works well here, so the other 27 units that use the underground parking use the "old" receiver, and my Tesla uses the new receiver. Perhaps an option for...

    No wifi while driving in v8.0

    I verified this with European service - the wifi is disconnected as soon as the car goes into "D", and it looks like the same behaviour in reverse. All of this really sucks, as I can not use summon to pull my car out of it's parking space, which is in an underground garage with absolutely no...

    Inconsistent Summon behavior

    So the basic question is easy - How exactly does Summon (on a communication level) function? And here’s the longer version of that. I have parking in an underground garage where I live. This serves a total of four buildings with 28 units in total, each with 8 per. When the electrician...

    Yes, did the camera myself. Winced a bit drilling the hatchback, bit it was the easiest way to install the rear one. Car goes in for paint protection tonight, I should have it back by Wednesday... Delivery was in Cham, as it's a bit easier to get there from Stäfa (also gave me the chance to...

    Because the replacements are much, much brighter than the stock ones. Available here: STORE - Lighting - Abstract Ocean Also, just installed a Thinkware f750 dash cam with the back camera as well. It really takes 3 hours :(

    Picked up my P90D yesterday. The stock interior lights lasted nearly 24 hours before I replaced them (Abstract Ocean kit). Took about 25 minutes with some heavy spuger abuse, but in the end they all popped out. The trick with the rear footwells is to remove the entire snap in bracket, then break...

    Model S: Overwhelmingly male and over 45 years old/Model 3 Don't Die

    49 male, consulting company that I have had for 10 years pushed enough of a bonus to move to a P90D from a people mover (Mercedes Viano). Boys are 11 & 13; they were there for the test drive in Zürich. Needless to say, they can't wait :)

    Model S Software/Firmware wishlist

    I am eagerly awaiting delivery of my model S (knowing that it will take a few months)… but on to my idea: My Mercedes Viano has a feature whereby holding the “internal recirculation” button will close all windows and the sunroof (if open), and put the ventilation into recirc mode. Holding that...
