    Front door seals hanging

    This happened on my 3 months old MX last summer. The ranger said that it was the sun drying out the glue. To replace the seal he'd have to take off the doors and he recommended against it. Not sure if he was just being lazy but he says there is a chance to mess up the door alignment. So I bought...

    Alternative, DIY refresh Model X rear camber correction

    This was measured at low setting. I never had an alignment done since the car is pretty new (~500 miles). There could be some margin of error with my gauge as others pointed out, but as a reference my front wheels are at -1.5' (low setting). I think I will try again with a thicker shim and I...

    Alternative, DIY refresh Model X rear camber correction

    Great thread! Just wanted to add some data: 2023 MX Plaid, the initial driver side rear camber (at low) was -4. My M12 washers are thinner, I added 2 of them (0.1165 inch or ~3mm) the camber went down to -3.5. This doesn't seem to be nearly enough for me...

    I had similar issue to your first pic. It turns out that my quarter glass was incorrectly installed: Concern: Customer states both falcon wing doors seem to be slightly out of adjustment (Door to Qtr glass). *SEE BLUE TAPE* Confirmed customer concern., Technician adjusted both falcon wing...

    Wiki Model X Order/Delivery Tracking - Google Sheet

    Yes, I got them the same day. For bay area I guess production start -> delivery is really short.

    Wiki Model X Order/Delivery Tracking - Google Sheet

    It says 4/2023, not sure about the exact date. VIN was assigned last week so I assume that's when it got produced.

    Delivery went smoothly, I didn't notice any obvious issues. As expected, no free supercharging or matrix headlight.

    Wiki Model X Order/Delivery Tracking - Google Sheet

    I just got the VIN: 3981xx, delivery scheduled to 4/27! BTW I asked about the 3 years of unlimited supercharge promo and they said I'm not eligible unless I take an inventory car with the $2500 price hike.

    Wiki Model X Order/Delivery Tracking - Google Sheet

    Same here. In bay area, ordered MXP on 3/12, still no VIN. App says estimate delivery is 4/17 to 5/3. I ordered round steering wheel, not sure if that's slower.

    Another round of price cut?

    Looks like the new S/X just got $5000 cheaper now. The Plaid X is now $104,990. Good thing I haven't taken delivery yet... [Edit:] It seems Model 3 got $1000 cheaper and Model Y got $2000 off as well.

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    I can also confirm that this is the case for me. I have MCU1 + AP2.0 with EAD (no FSD) and got MCU2 + HW3 for $2250+tax. I didn't want to wait for a new screen so I just asked them to UV treat my old screen which has faint yellow borders. Now dashcam is working. I agree with you that this is a...

    gateway 2 rolling out in US yet?

    I'm glad that I've found this thread. I called Tesla 2 days ago and found out that my order was going to be gateway 1. They put an urgent request to change it to gateway 2 and surprisingly they were able to keep my appointment and get it installed today. I'm in the bay area. Thanks guys!

    Grill color means what?

    Interesting, I also have a non-PUP December 2017 S75 but I have black grills. Sales told me chrome come with PUP only at that time.

    For the gen1 soft closing upgrade I emailed autoease directly: [email protected]. I don't know if these upgrades kits are available on their website.

    DIY Power Lift gate for Tesla Model S Walkthrough Video

    I paid $200 shipping included. They also offered a $300 kit which includes new power structs. Apprently the new structs match OEM length and gen1 structs are shorter. But I think my trunk lifts high enough.

    According to the vendor this is from their gen3 kits. Not too bad to install, the hardest part for me was to pull the cables through the rubber grommet.

    DIY Power Lift gate for Tesla Model S Walkthrough Video

    I bought the gen1 kit from autoease in March 2017 and the only issue is how hard it slams the trunk. I emailed autoease and they sold me an upgrade kit which comes with a new control box and a power latch. I installed them last night the soft closing works very well.

    Should I add EAP option?

    I live in East bay (Dublin) and commute to Santa Clara. AP2 autosteer and TACC work great on 680 especially in traffic.

    Door panel rattle

    I had the same rattle. I also took the door panels apart and just super glued the washer in. But that did not eliminate all my rattle issues. Eventually I found out that my biggest rattle was from the retractable rear cup holders inside the center console (December 2016 build). I ended up...

    DIY Power Lift gate for Tesla Model S Walkthrough Video

    You can get the oem pull cup and button instead of using the one from the kit. Operation wise everything is the same as oem except this one slams the trunk to close. Oem is more gracious because it uses a different locking mechanism.

    DIY Power Lift gate for Tesla Model S Walkthrough Video

    The touch screen and keyfob both send signal to the lift gate latch to unlock it.The power liftgate controller has a cable that connects to the latch to intercept this signal and activates the power structs. Works for both opening and closing.

    Tesla Wifi Sux

    Do you have auto-folding mirror when exiting car? I noticed that if I fold the side mirrors my car gets the wifi connection back. Since the wifi antenna is in the side mirror perhaps there is some issue there.

    DIY Power Lift gate for Tesla Model S Walkthrough Video

    I installed the OEM pull cup and button last night and it's great. I had a hard time finding a good 3 pin female connector though. The PC front panel connectors that I found (e.g. speaker, HDD light) all use 2 pins only. I eventually found a 3 pin cable from an old GPU fan and I trimmed it with...

    DIY Power Lift gate for Tesla Model S Walkthrough Video

    It works this way: touch screen (same for key fob and the trunk release button) signal goes to the trunk latch through a wire connection already. This after market kit comes with a controller box that connects to the latch connector and intercepts the signal so that's how it knows when to open /...

    Thanks Cricket88 for the good work. I have purchased the factory switch today and I'll install it tonight. The Dublin service center had to order it but it only took them 1 day: PULL, CUP, RH, LIFTGATE - POWER (1009264-00-E) $19.00 SWITCH, LIFTGATE, SHUTFACE (1010327-00-A) $47.44...

    DIY Power Lift gate for Tesla Model S Walkthrough Video

    I installed the button on the top part of the handle cup too, but once I tighten the nut on the other side of the handle cup, the bolt (on the other side of the button) extends too far and the handle cup cannot be inserted back into the lift gate. So I had to loosen the nut and only rely on the...

    Power lift gate DIY possible?

    Installed mine over the weekend too. I agree the large panel was such a pain to put back on. But while I was there I was able to complete my blackvue rear camera installation by routing the cable through the large panel. This way I don't have to drill hole into the metal or cut and resolder the...

    The manufacturer is selling them again on their website ($399 + $69 shipping to California). I ordered one on Friday and it arrived today (Tuesday). I'm impressed by the fast shipping. The kit has a QR code which brings you to this website for instructions (but in Chinese, and it tabs power...
