    lost all steering wheel functions

    This is the same as the failures on the model S which I have had 5 times in 8 years. I replaced the steering buttons and cable between each time and everything worked again (for a while). not sure why the steering wheel buttons dying disables the horn but replacing them gets the horn working...

    Windshield can only be replaced by Tesla?

    no more sensitive than ANY of the other cameras on any modern car. I have had tesla replace and safelight replace with no issue. Pro Tip: get 0 deductible glass coverage (its cheap) call your insurance company and file a claim, my insurance company says a tesla windshield costs 1800 to repair...

    Love my sunroof, can’t get myself to upgrade

    Got me thinking, the sunroof probably just drops into the space where the fixed glass is as a unit. Maybe you find a wrecked 2016 w sunroof and find a shop to do the swap? Trick would be the software though, maybe someone here has the chops to add it to the new software or maybe you wire it...

    Brake wear sensors??

    Just had pads and rotors replaced, had no idea that tesla does not have ANY wear sensors for brakes. (or if they do why they didnt activate). Very surprising pad life as well i do full regen mode and 99% highway miles and they "only" went 140K miles. My BMW M3 went 160K on pads with the same...

    Tesla Model 3 RWD 2023 - Audio Upgrade

    I would challenge you to listen to a professionally installed system done by EXPERIENCED installer. This means pulling the entire interior, adding sound dampening, installing massive power and most critically, A DSP. The sound in my 2016 MS75 is insanely good. Check this out for reference...

    Did my windshield tint lead to this crack?

    Get 0 deductible glass replacement from your insurance. pays for itself x 100 as windshields in general are thinner and crack with slight impact. tesla policy is to not bill insurance but have you pay, so the trick is to get quotes from safelight ($$$$$) nd present to your insurance, they will...

    trunk closes but wont latch that extra latch so car says trunk open

    May want to check your height adjusters on both sides of the opening (big plastic pads the trunk shuts against) screw them down a bit and see if the prob goes away

    trunk closes but wont latch that extra latch so car says trunk open

    Its a cinch motor failure roughly $300 to replace, pretty easy DIY, Ive done it twice. Or you can just live with it manually shutting

    Underbody of the battery bent from impact

    would love to know how the service dept made that determination (looking at it, diagnostic etc) sounds like it may be a ploy since its insurance money (but your rates will no doubt go up

    Fragile top glass and windshield 😠

    Talk to your insurance carrier and get a 0 deductible glass policy. Mine is $10 per year on each car. windshields are thinner now to save weight (increased mileage)

    2022 Model S repair cost

    Thats a super tough area to repair, lots of substructure JUST below the surface panel, and that fender portion doesnt bolt on so its likely cut and paste with aluminum which is mega tough

    Has anyone gone from a 911 to a Plaid?

    Too COMPLETELY different vehicles Model S is a very large, very heavy car. Do not think its handling is predictable at the limit, even compared to rear engined porsche. If youre driveing 4/10 in canyons then plaid would be fine. Model S does a great job of sticking to the road until 6-7 10ths

    Trunk won’t open; latch stuck. Manual release?

    sounds like cinch motore failure in closed mode
  32. A

    Model S Trunk will not open or close electronically and will not lock if you manually push it down

    sounds like cinch motor, common failure. Can fail and lock down hatch so you cant open it or half way where you have to manually close it (opening not an issue in this failure mode) i have had both failure modes in 130k miles (2016)

    Sorry but my Ipad sits RIGHT NEXT to my 17" screen 24-7 and has had zero issues. I call BS on automotive grade when commercial touchscreens see FAR HIGHER extremes in environment and perform basically forever

    Anyone have a 6MT car in addition to their Y?

    Most of my driving is highway in the last 30 or so years so the "fun" of an MT is sort of lost, would prob own MT car if i still tracked my cars. the really enjoyable thing (second only to acceleration!) is the regen feature that behaves much like a MT does

    2022 MYP Steering rack Failure. Tesla DENYING warranty coverage due to aftermarket wheels 20x10 with 275 40 20 set up

    Elon was most definitely NOT A FOUNDER... Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning founded the company. Elon invested in the company and then fired them (just like every venture he's done)

    Not completely related but I took my OUT OF WARRANTEE 2016 S in for service and they told me they couldnt work on the car DUE TO AN AFTERMARKET STEREO!!!!! I had to elevate this and then had to sign a disclaimer that the "modification" may cause issues (BS) with the repair work and they were...
