    Garage Door Opener

    I have Homelink on the Model S and use it. But, there have been many times I wished I had the garage remote in the car as I often tap it more than once due to some delays and it ends up and then closing. The Model S has a small pocket at the front of the seat that would work perfectly for hiding...

    Rattles.

    I have one inside my glovebox (nothing inside it) and the rear seats (being replaced) as the anchors were not aligned and could not be seated properly due to manufacturing defect.

    New Hansshow Center Console Dashboard Touch Screen

    This also gives us other possible accessories that might become available using some similar such as a HUD. No clutter, and the M3 was speculated as having a HUD before launch.

    Tesla Releases $2,000 Model Y Acceleration Boost, Shaves Half Second

    Anyone going to buy the acceleration boost for the MYP if or when it becomes available? I am guessing that both motors were sandbagged on specs at launch, and the AWD variant is now showing its true colors. 2.95 secs would be my guess. What an easy way to make some extra $$$. We always knew...

    steering, a little odd!

    Ask for a sheet showing caster, camber, tow specs and readings before/after. "Aggressive" steering can be related to tires and grooves on the road, but tow settings are indicative of this type of behavior as well.

    2021 model Y scan my Tesla battery size

    I did a DCFC via CHAdeMO this morning, and watched closely on the ChargePoint app at the battery SOC percentage and amount of total energy transferred. From 20% to 90% it was 7.99 kWh for each 10% increment. The BMS thinks 10% of the battery capacity is equal to about 8.0 kWh on my MYP.

    Supercharging not up to hype?

    It should be fine. There are older model S complaints about too many DCFC sessions leading to lower charging rates and/or range as the car counts the number of sessions and creates a larger buffer to safeguard the battery as it ages. I am guessing that it ages faster when using DCFC. I don't...

    Tesla making CCS adapter for fast charging interface

    I'm going to guess that because there is additional circuitry inside the adapter similar to CHAdeMO for DCFC, it might cost closer to the $500 price tag of the previous DCFC adapter. Of course, if it's not like a rocket launcher sized adapter, the price might be a bit less.

    2021 model Y scan my Tesla battery size

    If there is a way to check the battery capacity at the time of inspection, you may wish to decline it knowing that a heated steering wheel (unconfirmed), upgraded console, and larger battery are right around the corner. Dual laminated front passenger windows, dimming side view mirrors, and USB...

    Supercharger - Irvine, CA - Walnut Ave. (at Jeffrey Rd., LIVE 4 Dec 2020, 8 V3 stalls)

    Batter up! Pretty nice that it is right off of the I-5 Freeway.

    Phantom Drain normal?

    But our cars also use less physical braking by adding fuel during this process and don't absorb water into its fuel tank either. With that being said, my VW eGolf does not have any noticeable parasitic drain while being connected and accessible from its phone app. I hope that the Model Y...

    OEM 19" Wheels + Tires + TPS

    (4) Wheels, Tires (Stock Michelin 6/32 tread depth), Caps, Tire Pressure Sensors (2015+ Continental). Wheels are in good condition with minor scrapes (see pics). This would be excellent for a rebuilder or preparing a snow tire set for the Denver mountains. $400 firm. Local sales only.

    Sorry about that! $300 for all (4) wheels.

    Denver, CO | (4) Factory 19" Wheels - Fits Model S 2012+

    Set of four wheels with light scratches. Wheels are straight and true and in good condition. This will be a great alternate set of wheels to bolt on whenever snow falls or when taking a long road trip and you only have 21" wheels -- sometimes too harsh for some of our bad roads. Cash only...

    DC - DC converter / AC compressor repair

    I replaced my fuses inside my DC DC Converter last year because my heater was no longer working and my 12V was draining without charging properly. After replacement of the fuses and 12V battery, I removed all previous gasket material by scraping and sanding. Then placed a single bead of high...

    If you fast charge, Tesla will permanently throttle charging

    I would think that charge rate would be determined by the internal resistance that the pack might have rather than a simple count of the number of DCFC unless Tesla has determined that the correlation between DCFC and IR is strong enough to use to lower charge rates. Again, we know that slow...

    Wanted: 19" turbine wheels in the Colorado area (Model S)

    I have a set of Rial Lugano in Bright Silver, 19x8.5. Tires are at 3/32 and need to replaced, but TPMS is included on all four wheels. One wheel has minor rash, the rest are in good condition and may have a few nicks are small scratches. Includes lug nuts for all for wheels. TPMS is older VIN...

    2014 P85D Jump Seat - 32k miles

    Why do people do this to most threads where someone is trying to sell their vehicle here? These prospective sellers can opt later on if they don't get any reasonable offers to either lower their price, keep their vehicle, or sell elsewhere. This kind of thing happens to almost every thread that...

    TSportline 20" Turbine Wheels 20x9 - Brilliant Silver

    I would like to keep this sale a local transaction for the sake of saving money for those nearby and not losing too much money for myself. $1800.

    TSportline 20" Turbine Wheels 20x9 - Brilliant Silver

    Brand new in box -- unopened. I will be installing grey wheels instead. (4) 20x9.0 wheels only with TSportline matched center caps. You can use your existing Tesla center caps if you wish and will need to transfer your TPMS to these new wheels/tires or buy a new set of sensors. The wheels cost...

    Late Model S 70 could actually be 75kWh pack

    There definitely is degradation to the battery. But not sure if it will affect your range just yet. The first generation Chevy Volt is kind of the same way with a large portion of its battery capacity unavailable to the driver and has had similar comments such as these. Two ways to think about...

    19" winter wheels: Rial vs Slipstream vs Cyclones vs TST vs...?

    Should be able to take the tire pressure sensors from your old wheels and swap them onto your new ones. As for the center caps, the OEM Tesla caps will only work with the ones @NickF listed above, which are the newer redesigned "OE" Rial Lugano wheels.

    19" winter wheels: Rial vs Slipstream vs Cyclones vs TST vs...?

    I have the older Rial with larger center cap opening (purchased from another forum member) and they look pretty good. They have the Michelin MXM4 tires and there is a slight rub when in reverse and fully locked turn. This bothered me at first and just went away as I know that it isn't doing much...

    Escort 8500ci/9500ci or Beltronics STiR on a new Model S?

    OMG. YES!! 9500ci was my staple for my cars for several years, and then I ran into blind spot lane departure radar signals and interstate traffic flow signals and my detector never stops signaling. Better filtering with faster DSP has improved it a bit, but did not eliminate it--still very...

    New Snow and Regenerative Braking

    I'm also in IT and ran through the same. Then decided to wear gloves, have a mirror, good floor jack with rubber pad, cordless impact driver, long breaker bar, and large torque wrench, tire crayons, long socket 21mm 6 pts. One wheel at.a time. Mark tires with crayon. Breaking lugs *slightly*...

    Escort 8500ci/9500ci or Beltronics STiR on a new Model S?

    I use detectors and jammers for entertainment and educational purposes only. Seriously. Sounds like a joke, but I don't speed much (relatively). I just like to recognize how my local and state tax contributions are spent. VIPER fiber diffusers are the only ones small enough to go undetected...

    New Snow and Regenerative Braking

    Yes. The RWD is very controlled in most situations. Traction of your front tires is sometimes more important than the rears for RWD due to the need to change direction being dictated by the front wheels. With the traction control on, fishtailing is also greatly reduced to the point that it...

    New Evannex cubby compartment?

    Looking at the eBay pics for the tray *might* show that the lower left side has a larger gap than the right side. It might be the camera angle. There are a couple of pics in that eBay link that show this. The grab handle seems more in line with the Tesla interior, but I think that our cars...

    Deciding on suspension, how does everyone else about air vs. coil?

    I drive both types of suspensions. The air rides softer and floats a very little bit and the coils are slightly bumpier. I do not benefit from the air suspension as much since I am usually the only rider and no cargo. 19" base wheels and 20" TST for both vehicles (winter/summer sets). I don't...

    So what's the trick with Destination Charging?

    Many places that have destination charging will require that the circuit be turned on. This is usually done by walking to the front desk and asking them to do so--at least the ones that indicate "for patrons". Wouldn't it be nice if the person at the front desk request that they customer leave...

    Use L2 charger instead of Supercharger when battery is cold with very low SoC

    I have had charging errors with the red light at the charger port and the dash requesting that I unplug, depress the brake and try again. After a few times, my cold and 2% SOC started to charge very slowly at a supercharger. After about 20 minutes, it started to ramp up and provide a...

    Tesla say the logs show ...

    I don't question TSLA's integrity with regards to what they find in the logs (what it actually states in RAW form), yet. I do question how these logs are construed and if there are multiple ways to construe said logs given various uncertainties and unknowns. Logs can tell not just a story, but...

    CHAdeMo Adapter ($425 obo)

    I keep mine in the front and use is sparsely. There are places, even supercharger locations that have a pair of CHAdeMO charging bays. I enjoyed using one in Darien, CT that was directly adjacent to a gasoline station and McD in a rest area. CHAdeMO comes in handy in urban areas where you will...

    Why does the charge port light turn off after the car locks?

    I also leave a note on the windshield or rear hatch depending on the orientation of the car while charging just in case someone runs into an emergency and need to charge quickly to get to their destination. I use a Google Voice number that is forwarded to my mobile phone number for that purpose...

    New Snow and Regenerative Braking

    Yes. I agree. That's my driving behavior in the snow. I also don't jam on the brakes and progressively press them until I feel loss of traction. ABS is not as good in the snow as manual, if done correctly. Again, after I changed the setting for regenerative braking to LOW, all seemed fine. On...

    Mine feels that it's oversteering quite a bit during hard acceleration. Something that I got used to after a day or two of spirited driving.

    I challenge you to say this sound is normal.

    Mine has the same sound and I was told today after a drive unit replacement that the noise was normal. It comes in pretty loudly at a stop light once in awhile, but not all the time. The sound is sometimes very-loud to mildly annoying at times. Most of the time, it's silent. I managed to go for...

    Anyone run Model X wheels on Model S?

    Would it make any difference if you're using a wheel that is not made for your car even if it's OEM for Model X? Because the offset and width are not within the stock specs of the Model S, it might actually give you more issues just in case you need warranty work such as drive unit, etc. This is...

    New Snow and Regenerative Braking

    In the Denver area and it has started to get very cold today and with snow falling, the salted roads do not help much for loss of traction. I noticed that once I got over 50mph and feathered the accelerator to keep a safe distance with the cars ahead of me, my car started to lose traction in the...

    Carina's Tesla-tray for the shelf under the screen!!

    Hand laid carbon fiber insert/sleeve and tray with spring lock mechanism is what we deserve for $150+. What we have today is simple and easy and not luxurious. Nothing about these cars are simple and easy. Just look at the glove compartment/cubby. Nothing wrong with simple. As long as it's...

    Supercharging pain in rear

    How long do you guys/gals think we will need Superchargers? What will happen to them when a couple of major charging standards are adopted and you start to see corner charging mega stations. Will our current state of disarray with Tesla Superchargers need a severe correction before they are all...
