    Trunk Part(s) - What Are They?

    Yes, used the rubber type knobs above the object in the posted picture. I was able to allow the trunk to close a tad more, but still not enough to align the tail lights on trunk and body perfectly. I had service look and they made adjustment at the attach points, but still not quite enough. I’m...

    Liftgate adjustment DIY info on 2023 refresh

    Late to the party, but I have a 2023 LRMS that has the issue of the hatch lights not aligning with the body tail lights looking across/level; trunk is about 1/8 to 1/4" too high (not closing enough into the body?). I turned the 2 rubber plugs that are about 2/3 down on the body on each side of...

    Phantom Braking Solved

    Getting very hard, sudden braking when on cruise, right lane of two way, divided highway, and a car either is coming UP a ramp to merge, OR, car in front of me takes an off ramp (and not following too close; car is using cruise). Car brakes from 70mph or there about, down to 40 or so in less...

    Dreaded MSLR 2023 Rear Most Left Passenger Seat Rattle

    I know there's been some threads near or dear to this issue, but my question is what exactly, or more accurately, where do you put some form of cloth/foam/tape wedged in to stop the rattle? I have confirmed that it only exists when the seat is up and locked (wife sat there and confirmed where...

    Random Charge Stoppages - Error is BMS_a174 Charge Failure

    I have over the past couple of weeks been getting the BMS_a174 errors raised after the car stops charging (interrupted) when connected to a Gen1 wall charger of about 7 years old. I have found that it seems to continue to allow charging if I reduce the rate from 40A to 35A. Charging at...

    Trunk Part(s) - What Are They?

    In tinkering with hopes of somehow allowing my trunk to close a bit further into the car body to better align with tails lights, I found these. Both plastic caps come off with a decent amount of twist effort. I thought they were to adjust the amount of trunk surface that would lower into the...

    Ran off the road while trying to find the horn. Aftermarket horn button options?

    I was too run off the road from someone merging into me, and I never found the horn in time either. Luckily no one was in the other lane that I had to start my bail into to my escape. I'm ravenous to find a solution.

    Passenger Door Handle Presents, but cannot open the door consistently

    I figured it was probably going to get down to replacing it. Thanks for the feedback.

    Passenger Door Handle Presents, but cannot open the door consistently

    My passenger door handle has randomly, and sort of infrequently, (seemingly from day 1) refused to allow the door to be opened when pulled on. Sometimes, a harder than normal tug seems to allow its opening. Other times it's simply not going to open. It always presents the handle properly, but...

    Advise Wanted: Car Cover for Inside Only - not looking to spend big $

    I'm looking for a preferably, soft material car cover for my MS/2023. I want custom fitted as the one size fits all types have always seemd a poor fit in previous cars. I have googled and found a gamut of offerings, but they range from obviously too cheap, to more than I think is necessary...

    Local Car Humor

    Yes, of course I realize that. But I'm going to bet they didn't mean that, and were trying to inject a little humor in a world that amazingly has little or tolerates such, these days. If by chance they really meant motor lubrication, I'd take a pass.

    Local Car Humor

    Yes, this is real, and was not photo-shopped. I want to take them up on it. But truth is I need tires for an ICE car, so when I make the appointment I'm going to see they can do both. LOL

    another $5k drop

    1) AGREE. I had an 18 wheeler encroach into my lane and I was unable to find the horn in time. I had to swerve into left lane and luckily there was no one there. Seriously considering the wheel replacement because of that. 2) I must be dyslexic. I've use the wrong signal many a time. Wish...

    MS Right Rear Singing Tire ?

    Thank you. Yes annoying. But not willing to do SC visit or lose sleep over it. Touch the accelerator and add 1mph or back cruise off 1mph and immediately it’s gone. I can live with that.

    MS Right Rear Singing Tire ?

    I've had my MS for about a month. I noticed even on the drive home from picking up, that at pretty much exactly 70mph, the right rear tire/wheel emits a sound much like microphone feedback at a lower tone/frequency. I am purplexed on what the root cause is, other than the tire must be hitting...

    2023 Model X with Tesla Logo

    My 2023 MS only has the T logo. They did away with the word strip. Made sense to me. The MX without the logo seems odd. My $.02.

    Model Y LR Induction Wheel Over Speedbumps

    I have a 2020 MY with inductions. I would describe the ride as Firm.. Plenty of times I think should I have gotten the 19 wheels. I wanted the look of the induction so that won at order time. Speed bumps really don’t matter, you’re going to want/need to go over them, slowly either wheel. If a...

    High beams always on…

    Never works for our Model Y. If it ever comes on, it immediately turns back off. Other drivers think they are being flashed. Given up on it and do not use. My Model S, however, seems to work well.

    Looks like they are removing stalks from the 3/Y

    For me it's the people that have to drive the car not knowing what we as owners know. The tint shop that was going to do my car (I bailed as they wanted to take the car to another faclity without my being able to accompany ), didnt have any understanding of the drive (gear) or much else for...

    Yoke Creak?

    Bummer. Will try the yoke reposisiton over a full range of travel multiple times and see if that resolves. I defintely will give it some time before a service consideration. It's just not that bad. Yet.

    MYLR Delivery day - Front Door needs to be slammed to shut

    I'm kinda in that mode now, so thanks for the advice. I do however notice that looking from the rear to the front of the car from both sides, I can see where the door does protrude a slight bit about mid-height; i.e. I can run hand/finger along doors back to front and feel the edge of the door...

    Unable to play music in Apple music

    My problem, although not the exact, is bothersome too. Mine will never start back playing after I've finished an errand by leaving the car and returning (even after say 5-10 minutes). It makes me pick the source again, or find the album again, or just hit play; random on which one it must...

    Yoke Creak?

    New 2023 Model S, 5 days new. So thrilled with it as it replaces my S 2016 and it's like a whole new level. Anywho, I have what sounds like a small creak or bind sound coming from the yoke when I make basic left/right turns. It is not every time, and it seems like more frequent at the start...

    MYLR Delivery day - Front Door needs to be slammed to shut

    My S I took delivery on yesterday, requires a near slam for both front doors; more so with passenger one. Very unlike my S 2016. Wife not pleased. I’m going to give it some time before I panic.

    Static or Buzzing Sound from Front Doors After Closing

    In car, parked, listening to stream or Apple Music, and open then shut either of the front doors. Music turns off as does HVAC; screen/car still in wait state. But I can clearly hear some form of static or buzzing near the door handle and even towards where the door speaker would be. It is...

    Contract Tampering ???

    No so much the cialis that bothers me. It’s the gas station routine, cost, and inconvenience. Like I said, if it’s relatively a small price difference OK. But throwing on $3k a week before delivery might just be one pushed button too many.

    Contract Tampering ???

    Yes, of course. But really late in the game now. I doubt I could sell and get the funds in a week. Carvana and those types are about 4K above Tesla's previous offer before this recent re-eval. I didnt do before because I didnt want to be without my car. I didn't plan on 3 trade in...

    Contract Tampering ???

    I'm going thru the motions to see what their offer will be. Couple hundred OK. But $3K a week before delivery? That's pretty greedy. No human to talk to either is nuts. I see why some people don't follow thru or take business elsewhere.

    Contract Tampering ???

    Thank you. At least someone feels a little pitty for me. 3 trade in reductions seems excessive, but this last one about a week before I take delivery is the turd in the room.

    Contract Tampering ???

    It's the timing and appearance of squeezing the turnip. I was supposed to take delivery December 30th. They want to get another $3K out of me on a Model S deal? I've already taken 2 trade in reductions WAITING on the S. The 3rd will likely break the deal. If they want a mileage...

    Contract Tampering ???

    I take accepted delivery as both parties agree to price, correct car, and date. I.E. a contract. You will be required to accept delivery at some point prior to them moving forward on delivery. My value dropped $3000 each trade in redo. This would be #3. I own 2 Teslas now. I cannot get anyone...

    Contract Tampering ???

    This is the second expiration on the trade in. I accepted delivery for a week and now they want to redo? I don’t think that is a good customer relations move. By accepting delivery that would essentially be accepting the current contract for nothing sides one would think I’m sending a email to...

    Contract Tampering ???

    I accpeted delivery on a new Model S for next week. I got an alert yesterday that my trade in vehicle offer (a current Model S) was expired. Have to redo trade in offer. I said no. I've already acepted delivery. They initially said send screenshot of mileage to them at their delivery email...

    Do ALL New 2022 Model S Ordered Come With the Yoke? I ordered in October and it shows it will be supplied with the yoke. I'm sort of on the fence..

    I think I'd prefer to just go with the standard wheel, but if it shows up with the yoke it won't be a no-go. Is there an official way to reach out to tesla to see what options are other than trying an unlikely phone call to a human or ask/confirm in the app where the car is in order/verify status?

    Model S 2022 - Is There the TESLA Lettering (strip?) right below where the trunk closes like the 2016 and earlier have ?

    I cannot definitively tell from rear end angled Model S 2022 pictures on the Tesla website or other ramdom site pictures, whether there is the the thin tapered strip (chrome/black) with the raised TESLA block font lettering that exists. I dont see after market parties providing skins or letter...

    Has anyone had issue with the Alarm being set off by either lightening or thunder? Its happened several times and I don't know what the exact 1 of the 2 is the cause. I believe it's the lightening, but the loud thunder rumble might really be the cause. Once I get the ap alert, being away...

    Recalls for loose bolt

    Can anyone show an image of what the bolts look like? My wife found a bolt in our driveway and threw it away thinking it was construction debris since homes are still being built on our street. :( It could also be related to my S. That would be a bummer.

    Tesmanian Model Y spoiler matte black

    I don't know about the Tesmanian made version's overall quality, but quality of carbon fiber (CF) varies greatly. Also, some people, possibly your husband, just like the look of CF better than matte or gloss black plastics. I have a CF on my S that is 4 years old. It is gloss CF, and was made...

    Driver side mirror does not fully adjust

    I'm guessing there's an issue with the mirror. Your height would not have any affect unless it's a vertical adjustment you are missing. I would think for blind spot it would be horizontal. MY will adjust further than I need so again, probably issue that service should check.

    Paint repair of scratches from road debris
