I would.

Yep, this is not a trivial retrofit as some posts in this thread may have set the impression. I am taking this project slowly now. I did not give up yet but it was a real bummer.

Ok, I don’t have good news. I don’t know if the transplant of internals is actually possible. I got the Old Style Lamps but there is no easy way to open them without damaging it. I tried Heat gun and also baking but the “glue” between the transparent lens and the black plastic do not budge. I...

Finished both sides. The second light I was not able to just pull the internal part out of the shell, then I notice that there is a clip inside that you can’t reach. So I guessed the location and carefully cut an open from the outside

just finished opening the refresh body mounted tail light. You can’t use an oven heat or heat gun, it is plastic welded. Unfortunately, you need to use a dremel to open it up. 1) First, remove the 4 screws that hold the lens from the back assembly. 2) Then, using a Dremel, I followed the line...

From what I read in this thread, that is super complicated. That is why we are trying just to replace the lamps in the shell of the pre-refresh tail lights. This way we don't have to mess around with body panels by cutting high voltage wires and modules.

Yes, I ordered the body mounted refresh ones from ebay, waiting on the pre-refresh body lamps to arrive, and I ordered the trunk Lyft pair from Tesla. The Appliqué I also got on ebay. all parts should arrive next week.

Never mind, I just opened a service request in the app asking to purchase the parts. They gave me a quote for the trunk lift lights and they will arrive on the first week of May.

Here is a complete thread on how to install the new tail lights: 2021 Refresh Tail Lamp and Charge Port Retrofit Project basically, you don’t nWed to retrofit the charge port, you transplant the inner parts of the new tail light in the older outer shell, this way you keep the connectors and the...

Hi , how do you purchase these parts from Tesla? You just got to a service center and order them in person? Do they ask any questions?

+1 to that, I am definitely interested in performing the update myself, but I a step by step tutorial would be amazing.

Oh wow, this is such a great post. Thank you very much. I have a 2016 90D and I love it. I made all the retrofit upgrades, Self Driving computer, and the MCU and it did make a difference. But the one thing that I am missing now is the range. How much more range are you having in real life when...

I just got may MS back from the Service Center and it was also updated to the .92 version. I could not see any major differences. Did use AutoPilot and this is definitely not the silky smooth AP.

One good thing on the M3 interior is that Tesla finally fixed the position of the cup holders and the doors finally have storage! Probably the center armrest will also have storage. IMO it is embarrassing that the Model S is a 100K car with no proper interior storage. But that is now fixed on...

I just recently dropped my MS in the Sunnyvale Service Center and at the new Santa Clara Service center and in both occasions when I picked up my MS, the DashCam was disconnected. But there was no sign of damage.

Wow. Tempe Police: Self-driving Uber vehicle involved in rollover

This will be interesting, I read some reviews on the Ioniq and it seems like a solid EV option Hyundai announces highly competitive pricing for IONIQ Electric in the US: $29,500 before incentive (under $20,000 in CA after) | Electrek - electrek.co Hyundai announces highly competitive pricing...

Where is this feature? Open and Close the Garage door?

Just updated the app, I have to agree that it is disappointing. Just a design Refresh with added support for TouchID. I wish it could include things like Trip planner on the app for instance. Here is the link to the iOS one: Tesla Motors on the App Store

I submitted my application on December 23rd and I just got the stickers on Feb 1st. :-)

I agree that Navigation on Teslas is better than stock navigation on the majority of other cars. And manufacturers know about it and just decided give up and give owners the option to officially use their favorite apps via Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. I think there are just a few things...

I applied on Applied 1/11, approved on 1/30 and got the check on 2/4

My MS90D was also built on the first week of December, with the same options, but your headline grill is much different than the one on my MS.

Would this mean that Tesla can issue a recall to adjust the seatbelts or headlights?

I just did the Tesla Factory tour in Fremont last Friday, they really have one production line that builds S and X intermingled. I saw all types of variations of Xs and Ss being built, with Right hand side driving, Ps, Xs with 7 seats, 6 seats (did not see any 5 seaters) all in the same...

Is it possible that CA can extend the expiration beyond 2019?

I tried Autosteer today on my way to the office and it worked perfectly on Stop and Go Traffic on the highway. See video below.

How busy is the Palo Alto one?, I heard a lot about how busy it is all year around.

I just got the update yesterday. It was a sunny day in NorCal but the headlights still insist to be always on. So it did not fix the issue on my MS.

I just got my MS90D in December 2016. It has several little things that I want the SC to take a look. The closest SC is the one in Sunnyvale, so it concerns me that ppl are having a bad experience there. My car has a misaligned hood, front doors are hard to close, Side mirrors don't...

I probably did exactly what you did, I did not have the courage to cut the cable. I covered the cable with a white tape.

Check this photo of the piece behind the mirror, it can help you find the internal clips.

I installed my Dashcam I think in the same day that you did yours @BigTonyTones . I did run the cable to the rear camera thru the roof space and it was super easy. The hard part is really passing the cable from the headline to the boot. I spend hour trying to get the tip to pass the fuselage of...

I do agree that Tesla is improving on their fit and finish, as they are gradually improving their software, battery technology and on and on. But there are some things that the auto industry has solved and are reliable on a lot of cars (much cheaper cars) and I still have problems on my MS...

Does anyone really believe that Tesla should not improve their interior on the MS? I am not saying they will do it, because there is no competition to Tesla on this segment. But do you really expect this level of interior (not talking about the screens) at this price tag? I totally would expect...

Thanks @Xenoilphobe I just installed the EcoHitch on my Model S and this is very handy. Did you had any issues when needed to repair anything under Warranty? Did you have to ever mention this law at a Tesla Service Center?

I would say that the stream down of the 7 series features takes more like 3 years to show up on the 5 series, and the majority of the interior features don't get to the 3 series. The same I would say applies to the C / E and S Class. A a lot of the fancy interior stuff on the S Class never gets...

Tesla poaches Volvo’s ‘Head of Interior Engineering’ to improve its interior quality "Electrek has learned that Anders Bell, Senior Director of Engineering at Volvo and the automaker’s ‘Head of Interior Engineering’ is joining Tesla in an equivalent role this month."

That is the one I ordered, I don't think they sell just the large one.

The Tesla All Weather Mats are made by WeatherTech, I bought the MS Mats from WeatherTech back in October and they fit perfectly. The difference is really just the logo. I actually removed the WeatherTech logos :)

They were available a few days ago, and I finally ordered it on Tuesday night. But it was sold out on Wednesday.

There is a thread on this topic already: Mirror not folding out completely

This is crazy, my other car has Adaptative Cruise Control and it automatically slows down when I there is dramatically slow traffic in front of me. I don't need to manually take control. I have an AP2 MS and never tried the TACC on an MS with AP1, so I thought all cars with ACC would behave like...

Tesla Q4 2016 Production and Deliveries (NASDAQ:TSLA) Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) produced 24,882 vehicles in Q4, resulting in total 2016 production of 83,922 vehicles. This was an increase of 64% from 2015. Tesla delivered approximately 22,200 vehicles in Q4, of which 12,700 were Model S and 9,500...

Yes, several people have installed a Dashcam on the new MS with AP2 hardware. I did it myself last weekend. Here is the thread with photos Blackvue DR650GW-2CH Install

I think the cable is on the way of the connector on that side, The real trick is to get the cable from the car headliner on the rear to the trunk door. That took me several tries, because I wanted to have a super stealth installation, but the connector is too thick and the clean solution would...

I am in the Bay Area as well and drive to Tahoe regularly. I also skipped it, and did not miss it so far.

Same problem with my MS, headlights are always on, I have to manually turn them off.

I do have the problem with my passenger side mirror and I thought the doors were just harder to close. But it seems like it shouldn't be that way.
