I know this thread is a little old but I have this on my seats, early build 2016 Model X.

Do you happen to have the part numbers for this? I have a 2016 that suffers from wind noise and would like to try and replace these seals. It's literally the only thing that bothers us about the car.

Someone on my local facebook Tesla group had their 2018 Model 3 battery go kaput right out of warranty at 132k miles. Tesla is quoting them $15k for replacement so they're looking at third party options for replacement. One thought i had was why not swap out the pack for a used one from a...

You are in LA. There are plenty of third parties that can do the replacement for cheaper than Tesla. https://qccharge.com/pages/service-your-ev https://www.evfixme.com/ There are probably others too...

This is kind of a niche question for those with AP1. Is it possible to install and wire the side repeater cameras from AP2 cars and enable them so they come up when putting the car into reverse? I don't care much about them coming up when using turn signals or sentry mode or anything else. It...

I heard someone here tried to drain all the adhesive gel and trying to put it back together but not sure how successful it was. It's either screen replacement or bite the bullet and go with the MCU2 upgrade. There might be third parties that can do the replacement for cheaper than Tesla...

Update - As mentioned below, the car has been officially sold. 2013 Tesla Model S P85, Multicoat Red VIN: 5YJSA1CP1DFP11606 Mileage – Est. 145,000 mi (see below) I’m the second owner, purchasing the vehicle in February 2017 at around 67000 mi. Asking price - $10,000 or best offer. I...

The kind of nice thing about the radio upgrade is that the cost is the same ($500) whether you do it at the same time as the MCU or later on. So if you don't get it done initially and find that you really want it, you can get it done later for the same cost (Assuming they don't raise the cost .)

Came across this while surfing the interwebs...

Thoughts after the upgrade? We have an AP1 Model X as well and I want to do the upgrade as well since we plan to keep it for the long run. I heard a small change is that it shows traffic data on the driver's display map when navigating to a destination.

I just want a hardwired inverter that I can use in an emergency to power a fridge, a few lights, or maybe a small mini-split depending on the weather. Hyundai and Kia do it so come on Tesla, is that too much to ask?

Technically not 4 extra years, but 4 years or 50k miles from purchase so pretty close. It was an early AP1 2016 model with 33k miles, ordered in late December 2019 and picked up early January 2020 so my CPO warranty is valid until January 2024 or 83k miles. Later that same month, Tesla...

Sounds good. I'll take another look at the seals and put this in as a service request along with a few other things in a few months. I bought my 2016 Model X the last month that Tesla offered a bumper to bumper 4 year-50k mile warranty effective from time of purchase on used cars they sold...

Let us know what you hear. I've noticed that the front passenger seat does not get nearly as the other seats and have wondered if this is worth bringing up as a service issue.

I have a 2016 X 75D and around 9 months left on my CPO warranty. I've noticed that the seals are very sticky to the touch but they have not deteriorated like I've seen in some pictures posted in this thread. We garage our car so I assume that is what has helped over the years. Is it worth...

Can't comment on cracking but the defroster lines are delicate as hell. I got my tint done and found a few creases in the rear window. The shop said that they could redo it but the defroster lines would most likely come off enough to where it will no longer work. Definitely find a shop...

Same thing happened to me; got some tint done recently and there were creases in the tint on the rear glass and I said I wanted it redone . Sadly the shop warned me that they might be a small chance of the lines coming off. I had never heard of this happening before on any cars I've previously...

After two years of ownership, I've experienced intermittent rain intrusion via the FWD. What I observed is that when the car sits in rain and the rain collects on top of the FWD in large drops, that's when I get the worst intrusion, especially when i get rain after a good cleaning of the glass...

Random question and sorry if this sounds dumb but can you replace the LDU with an SDU? I know one uses coolant vs the other using oil and I'm sure it would be underpowered like a ton but is it possible?

Is this WatchJRGo???

I would like to think they're doing that but my cynicism gets the better of me. It wouldn't surprise me if the refurbishment process is very minimal or non-existent and Tesla is desperately buying (hoarding) as many packs as they can get their hands on to support cars these earlier cars that...

057Tech in North Carolina and ReCell EV in Texas are options for a third party battery repair or replacement. Worth reaching out to both and get estimates...

Can you take a peek at the sticker on the battery pack and post the part number here? It's typically visible behind the passenger front wheel. That should give you an idea of the age of the pack. If it's the original pack, I recommend you jumping on to 057 Tech's Extended Battery Warranty...

If you're feeling adventurous, you can see if replacing the fuses fixes the issue. Parts including the fuses, multimeter, and HV gloves ended up being around $100. Whole process took me 4 hours cause I had a hard time removing and reinstalling the rear seat backs.

Have you reached out to any of the third party battery replacement outfits? There's one in San Marcos, TX that could be cheaper than going through the Tesla Service Center. https://recell-ev.com/ Another outfit is 057 Technology They also offer battery replacement but will buy your bricked...

Had the same issue a while back. AC Charging was busted (Level 1 and Level 2) but Supercharging, which is DC, worked just fine. A fuse in the onboard Charger had failed and needed to be replaced. I had to DIY the repair since Tesla replaces the entire charger vs just the fuses.

Can anyone recommend a good time to do any kind of preventative care or modification? I have a 2013 P85 with 140k miles. LDU sounds great but I worry about it's longevity (along with the HV battery) and I want to so what ever I can to prevent any issues down the road. If there's anyone in...

As someone who has performed this swap, I noticed almost no difference in rigidity or noise switching out the metal tower for the plastic one. And looking at the differences between the two, I understand why they switched to plastic - he cross bars are the only thing that really make the...

I got my main touchscreen covered under the CPO warranty as well, and it was just one slight bubble that popped up. And that glue that is leaking is conductive, so if any of it gets into the circuits behind the screen it won't be good news. I now have an appointment to change out my IC...

Pinging @wk057 as well to find out if any AP1 retrofits performed have been disabled, regardless of MCU version. I'm okay keeping MCU1 (if that helps) but I will hold off on getting the AP1 retrofit done until there's a 100% firm solution to this.

I had a handle doing this and replaced the microswitch harness, which fixed it. Also replaced the paddle gear while I was in there.

So your AP1 was working fine and enabled until you contacted Tesla for an MCU2 upgrade? And they locked you out of AP1 before the upgrade even took place? That really sucks.

Oh nice! Did you go through 057 Tech? How long did it take?

I'm not so sure I want it. I used V11 in other Teslas and hated it.

Son of a gun. I was looking to upgrade my wife's X with the MCU2 this month. Ugh.

Cold weather package (heated rear seats and steering wheel at least), updated visors with lighted vanity mirrors (including wiring). Can you retrofit occupancy sensors in rear seats that don't have them?

I have OpenPilot setup and it's alright but it's not the same (big unit on windshield, no braking control (just regen), etc.) especially compared to my wife's X with AP1. How much of the $10k is the windshield replacement? With car prices the way they are (especially with Tesla), I'm thinking...

We took delivery of our 2016 X 75D in January 2020 direct from Tesla. We lucked out as our vehicle came with the 4 year 50k mile used warranty, free unlimited supercharging, and lifetime premium connectivity. At time time, my wife needed a 7-passenger vehicle and she loved driving my Model S...

I had issues with my Free Unlimited Supercharging appearing on my car and got an email telling me my Premium Connectivity was expired, even thought I was grandfathered into lifetime. I purchased my vehicle directly from Tesla so I emailed [email protected] and attached my documentation...

2013 S P85 with 135k miles and same symptoms as many listed before but when it first happened, my UMC was flashing 3 red lights; I had just finished charging my other Tesla with it and it was pretty hot to the touch. I think it overheated and blew the fuse in question. I unplugged and used it...

2013 s P85 with over 130k miles. I'm pretty handy and plan to keep my car on the road as long as I can. I just purchased the extended warranty from @wk057 and I am interested in performing some retrofits as I can afford them: AP1 (mostly for ACC), Rear Heated Seats, MCU2 (or whatever...

This makes me slightly hopeful that someone may come up with an aftermarket replacement battery one day but in all honesty, this will probably not happen for these old S and X vehicles. It will be more worthwhile to develop aftermarket solutions for the Model 3/Y due to the sheer volume of...

As far as parts and processes go, that should all be outlined in my above posts. eBay is where I sourced most of my parts - you could also look on TMC for anyone parting out a 2016+ Model S/X too. The only other tip I have besides the above is if you decide to use a 12V USB hub to power the...

Oh wow. Good catch. My bracket actually came from Lithuania (cheapest price, even with shipping) so I may have ended up with a RHD part and not realized it.

Nice find! That was like three different auctions for me to source those parts. Let us know how it goes. If you don't mind, can you post the cost of the parts you had to buy from Tesla? Always like to have a reference when sourcing parts from third parties.

If you have any of the suspension parts out, would it be worth documenting the dimensions for each of the bushings? Found one place that just offers a bunch of generic bushings that could be mixed and matched? Or find ones from other vehicles that cold fit...

That's why I just added the cup holders; I liked the airy feel too. You can probably sell your center console and go back to an open floor; I've found the interior bits are pretty interchangeable with just minor adjustments.

There are two modifications you have to do parts to make this work and they basically are to make the older parts fit with the newer ones and are not related to the USB ports at all. epc.tesla.com has a lot of great diagrams that should help you follow along. 1. On the new Center Console...

There is one additional part that I forgot to list- 1064478-00-B - ASY, AIR DUCT, CNTR CONSOLE - This came with my Center Console Bracket and I didn't realize it was a separate part.

Looking at the parts diagram on epc.tesla.com, it looks like they just added a parking sensor facing the inside of the door panel on the FWD - part number 1099611-00-D - but I can't tell how it's mounted. You'll also need a new harnesses to support the additional sensors; I see pairs of part...
