    Vendor Tesla Model S steering wheel / yoke tailor-made program.

    Does the carbon yoke have heating elements in it? Are there install instructions somewhere? Curious how diy this is.

    Crackling sounds while turning steering wheel

    PS when I’m inside the car driving mine sounds like it’s coming from deep inside the passenger side dash, and from the outside it sounds like it’s coming from underneath the car between the front wheels (and is loud). Is that similar to yours?

    Crackling sounds while turning steering wheel

    Yes. My new plaid also does the same and it drives me nuts. They may need to lube or tighten suspension components according to the mobile tech that came out. My shop appointment is on Nov 26 for the issue.

    Refund for Plaid Plus

    I was in the exact same situation and cancelled just a week ago (my Plaid order came before my converted Plaid+ order!). The website/order documents seem to say they won't refund it but when you actually start the refund process online it shows you $1000 is coming back to your account. It'll...

    2021+ Model S Refresh - white interior thread

    After 373 days of waiting the car arrived in the EOQ rush. The white interior was worth the wait. It makes the car feel more like it’s from the future!

    2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

    Whoa! I have the exact same problem and Buena Park is telling me to come in Oct 29th and they'll take a look. What service center is this? I dont want to have a half messed up car for the entire month if I can help it. When I was there at the service center another EOQ plaid delivered car...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Just picked mine up hours before the end of quarter. I was a day 1 order with typical EDD moving shenanigans. MSM plaid with white/carbon on 21” wheels. Same as others - missing floor mats and cargo covers, car filthy, doors kinda need to be shut hard, but otherwise it looked fine in the dark...

    RN1144*** - No Info from SA on PLAID

    Ordered plaid, cf and white interior on 21’s within 20 minutes of the order page originally going live and all I have to show for it is a reservation number with no estimate. Also have an identical plaid+ conversion also ordered an hour of that page going live last year and same situation...

    Questions for owners of first deliveries of refreshed Model S

    Appreciate it. This tweet purports that a person was "trapped and could have died" in a Plaid that was on fire. Of course I know how the internet works and am generally skeptical until a story become more concrete, but still wanted to make sure the manual releases were still there.

    Questions for owners of first deliveries of refreshed Model S

    Is there still a manual door release in the case of catastrophic electrical failure while you're inside the car?

    Anybody manage to get $1000 Plaid+ order fee refunded?

    Excellent - Did you simply use the cancel button on the website to cancel the order? Its strange the one guy I managed to get a hold of (when the called me about my Plaid delivery) said they aren't refunding these.

    Anybody manage to get $1000 Plaid+ order fee refunded?

    9/23/2020 Ordered Plaid+, $1000 order fee charged 1/28/2021 Plaid was announced as coming well before Plaid+, so I ordered one to use for a year. $100 order fee charged At this point I was totally ok with the 2 order fees. I planned on taking delivery of both cars. All good so far. June...

    Trick to turn off stormwatch?

    I'm in SoCal and yesterday my powerwalls went into stormwatch mode - I'm sure many had the same experience. My house started filling the batteries from the grid, and given SoCal isnt really under risk of losing power I decided I'd just turn off stormwatch. Moments later it went back to...

    WTS: 21” Silver Arachnid wheel package

    I'm interested if the shipping isn't too costly or a pain in the you know what. Did the service center give them to you in boxes ready to ship? I'm in the LA/OC area. 92867.

    WTB: Tesla Model S P90D

    I've got an obsidian black 2016.5 P90D with ludicrous, loaded, for sale in OC. 36k miles. Tinted windows. 19" wheels. Looking for $68k. Looks brand new aside from a scratch on the very bottom edge of the front lip (curb rash). I never really notice it.

    My request that the Arizona Attorney General's office investigate Tesla's changes to Ludicrous Mode

    Which version is 1071941-00-A? I've seen a few of us on here with that but I can't ever tell which "Vx" that would be. I've looked at the spreadsheets, pdf, etc, but must be missing it.

    Non Tesla loaner vehicles

    I got a year or two old gas guzzling Ford Explorer last time I left the car at the dealer. I wasn't particularly happy about it, but it's not a big enough deal to raise a fuss. I would have preferred a Nissan Leaf or Volt or something rather than a gas guzzler. Might have been more annoyed...

    Recommendations for floor mats for Model S?

    I could sell mine. I took them out literally at delivery so they've never been used (have no use for them in SoCal). Could do $180 + shipping.

    Access 12V Battery in 90D with Facelift Front End

    On the left and right of the very front of the plastic duct work there's a plastic latch. Just unlatch both sides. You'll also see there's 2 rubber hoses - one on each side near the latches. Those just sorta wiggle down and off. Should be obvious at that point that the plastic duct is now...

    Rec for electrician in OC/Irvine area

    Got another quote to day of $550 base + $20 a foot of wire from "johnny electric", so for 40feet to run it from one side of my garage to the other (my panel is on the opposite wall) its $1350. Even worse than the first quote! The word "tesla" was never mentioned during the call. Surely...

    Rec for electrician in OC/Irvine area

    Anybody have ideas on this? I'm in the same boat...got a quote today in Orange for $1025 for a 40 foot run. No tricks or gotchas, new construction so the panel is good to go. Is the standard rate for electricians really $150/hr? Maybe I'm in the wrong business.

    Tesla has wiped away any mention of Blind Spot Detection / Lane Departure

    I wasn't aware my 2016 P90D had blind spot detection. Without the indicator on the mirrors (where I'm looking when I'm about to change lanes) how am I supposed to know somebody is in my blind spot? Is it just on the dash? It does bug me that every other car over $40k these days seems to...

    Dead Battery - How to get into Frunk on 2016+ Model S?

    Dead Battery - How to get into Frunk on 2016+ Model S?

    On the ModelX there are some frunk release straps to pull. On the 2015 and earlier Model S there are spots behind the nose cone to "jump start" the car, as well as a manual release if you have access to the interior of the car. On the 2016+ refreshed Model S - what do we do to get to the 12V...

    Supercharger - Buena Park, CA (removed from car nav 31 Aug 2018 but still operational, 8 V2 stalls)

    Used it today at 3pm. All but one space was full when I got there, and by the time I left at 3:30 there were about 5 spaces empty. Didn't see any spaces coned off anymore, so I guess they're all up to full speed now. I got peak of 300mph charge I think, but admittedly I wasn't in the car to...

    [Poll] - are you mad that your new Tesla just missed Autopilot 2.0?

    I still have paper plates on my P90DL, but I bought it to drive it. Autopilot is neat, but I barely use my 1.0 AP and I'm not sure I'd use the newer system either. Only downer for me is the clear loss of resale value for the pre AP2.0 cars. At least with model year changes you can predict...
