    Parking brake guide pins, springs . (Defective by design)

    The pins rust as designed to do, by Brembo. Brembo wants to sell ridiculously overpriced complete calipers. There is this place: Tesla Model S, X Parking Brake Caliper Spring & Pin Kit, 2012-2021 But they do not deliver outside US. Anyone know an European or Asian /Chinese alternative?

    how to disassemble the front center armrest (access 12V outlet)

    In my 2016 model S - I plan to make a hole for USB-C (PD) outlet in one of the places marked in blue: How do I disassemble that unit in order to access the 12v, and mount the USB_PD electronics behind? (the electrical stuff is absolutely not an issue, I just wonder how to get to the inside of...

    AP1 : Simple calibration? can I just offset camera & radar ? (it's driving about 20-30cm too much to the right side)

    AP1, works fine as always. On narrow winter roads, (following traffic) the car tends to drive 20-30cm too much to the right. Is this an issue I need Tesla to calibrate, or is it somehow possible to offset sensor(s) like camera or the radar?

    Symptoms, three long squeals instead of going in/out then it gives up. The motor moves fine when applied 10v/ limited to 0.5A The handle works well when stowing, but clearly don't know its position. There are two internal connectors on top; LED and motor. The lower 6-pin connector had some...

    My MCU1 died in a bizzare way an hour ago.. Anyone seen this?

    It became unresponsive, and I thought it rebooted. I waited... much longer than the usual time it takes to display the logo. Then I realized nothing was going to happen, I did a two-thumbs reboot , I can hear a little change in the noise from the speakers.. no logo. I checked the wifi...

    how to permanently deny a specific firmware update(till some future version)

    when borderline malware like 2019.40.2.2 hits your car, and you do NOT wish nagging every 15seconds... how many times do you need to cancel/postpone the update in order not to have it sabotage autopilot until some future version?

    2019.40.2.2 Is set on crippling AP and autosteer !

    this does apply AT LEAST to European cars: -15sec hands-on NAGGING -Lots of restrictions regarding lane change. -reduced steering rate. (cannot steer "that far"/follow tight curve) I do see that Tesla is set to destroy all AP for everybody ASAP to follow "regulations", I miss control over the...

    Louvers do not open during supercharging, I got a bill...

    I've observed that while the car's fan runs at full speed, the front louvres are closed. (Mentioned this to Tesla service center on occasion when refilling refrigerant.) They've run a "diagnostics and thermal test" and billed me for not finding a fault. I still can't believe this is correct...

    Rattling/flow noise with AC on

    What causes a metallic rattling noise when AC is on ? I had it once, in February, got refrigerant refilled, and it went away. AC was not working one week ago Tesla found a leak in evaporator, replaced it, two days later, same noise, and now,6 days after service, no more cooling. Is this kind...

    Where is the full supercharger map ?

    Before, I could see all superchargers at tesla.com/findus Now this site does not show a map, only an utterly crappy route tool than most often does not find a solution, instead of letting me see the map, and solve an part with poor charging options. Also, supercharger network is a great thing...

    Which Game Controller is "best" for most of the games ?

    I tried Logitech "Dual Action" controller, but it does not seem to work. same for PS4 controller. Just looking for a small/simple controller with good controls for the games, can be a clone or cheap toy-thingy, - actually, that could be smaller/better.

    EAB fail miserably in winter conditions, Tesla to the rescue ?

    There have been a major AEB test in Finland, of course, they skipped involving Tesla cars... The take from the test is that AEB kind of worked at 20km/h for Audi, Ford, Lexus, Mercedes .. they all failed to account for cold weather/traction. Worst was Volvo, Volvo needed 10km/h to work...

    Latest firmware+app is preheating all seats when heating car.

    Before, seats were not preheated. Now, *ALL* seats are preheated with medium effect, regardless of how many was preheated last time. This is a waste of energy for shorter trips. I wish the app would remember last config as default when starting HVAC from app. , and so maybe heat one or two...

    Does V9 shrink the car for AP1 too ?

    One of the many disadvantages of GUI v9 is that it shrinks the image of the car, and makes the lane placement impossible to see. This may be kind of necessary to display cars behind , but on AP1 , I would prefer to see the big car as before, and still see the cars actual placement, instead for...

    Which fuse supply the trunk lights ? What else is on it ?

    I would add extra light to the trunk, and need to know/calculate how much more current I can cause, and not vote the fuse. So, which fuse is it, and what else is on that circuit ?

    Let's sum up the good things about V9

    -did anyone see any bugs/issues fixed ? -any new *features* (except pushing destination to map in car?) For the first time, I have very hard time accepting the lack of options & freedom with an update. The forced maps, less flexibility to choose layout, and back-up camera in bottom instead of...

    Are BT OBDII a security/safety risk, or a big one ?

    Devices like this, mention "safe" on the box, the BT code is 1234 , there is no safety. We love to use them with "Scan My Tesla" or "TM-Spy" apps, so far, so great. Those apps/device interface CAN3 bus, (Powertrain) a malicious hacker could easily inject pedal signals ! Imagine a script...

    Howto: keep music on inside while removing snow ?

    So I and kids get to the preheated car, I fasten them in the rear seats, start to remove snow from the car. Then music stops until I open the door again. Sometimes its even good to lock just to make the door handles retract, instead of catch more snow. (in case of slushy/wet snow.) So I wish...

    Door handle light, too far in on some doors. (how to adjust?)

    Some of the handle-lights shine all the way to the ground, exposing dust on the car. Two handles don't go that far out, so there is no "useful" lighting at all, barely visible beneath the handle. It would be nice to be able to adjust them to be well visible, all of them,

    Tesla switching to open wheel nuts ?

    The tin-covered nuts were deformed by normal use. Recently, I was in for a service, and they replaced all wheel nuts with some open type, I can see the bolt just fine.. My first thought is that more water/salt will enter the threads by using those ?

    The mysterious "Multi-point inspection" ...- are service manuals/procedures available ?

    Tesla "annual inspections" are impressively expensive, in most of the europe, one is free to do the services as any, not only brand shops. (and it's fully counted as ok, vendors are required to accept that) most of the items on the annual service inspection (Maintenance Plans) - are really...

    Putting it in park, or longpress for (P) - what's the difference?

    P90D , I would assume "Park" (single short press) - mechanically locks bort front and rear wheels ? (but what about the differntial, in case of winter/icy parking) It's also possible to press and hold the park button for (P) - which I assume operates the smaller, grey calipers. How does it...
