    Second Guessing Tire Purchase - Opinions?

    I replaced the tires on my MS today. I had about 45k miles on the original Goodyear Eagle Touring tires. I read a lot of people here saying that the acoustic foam lined versions didn't really make much difference in noise, so I decided to save about $110/per tire and try out the non foam lined...

    Would like some opinions regarding new tires on a 2017 75D

    My tires are just about ready to be replaced. I'm still on the factory Goodyears and my main concern is ride comfort and noise. Should I stick with the Eagle Touring SCT (foam lined)? Or is there a better tire with respect to comfort? I don't really drive the car hard all that often but would...

    Canceling Tesla Solar order, seeking input on third party install and different panels

    I had a Tesla order for a 12kW system and 2 powerwalls. Time from design to site assessment was 6 months and I started to get cold feet reading about the lack of post-sale support from Tesla - my main concern was what if an inverter goes out and I'm stuck paying an energy bill for months waiting...

    Should I insist on a second inverter?

    I'm currently doing the design for my system. I'll be going with a 12kw system with 2 powerwalls. All of my panels will face south or east, there's nothing shading the roof, and this is sunny SoCal so sunlight isn't an issue. Should I insist on a second inverter - maybe a 7.6 and a 3.8? Or will...

    Actuator for biohazard mode doesn't fully close flap. Calibration or bad motor?

    What the title says - this door doesn't fully close when biohazard mode is on which defeats the purpose. There's no way to manually adjust the motor. It functions but has the wrong range of motion. Is this something that can be calibrated? Or do I have to replace the actuator?

    Navigation extremely slow all of a sudden. Software bug or something worse?

    Recently my navi has been taking forever to calculate routes. Like literally 3 minutes to calculate and today it actually failed to calculate a route ( did it on the second very slow attempt). I assumed it was a buggy update, but today the screen went black while driving. Rear view cam was still...

    Help removing the seat control panel

    I’ve noticed that a lot of the creaks in my car come from the lower front seat trim. It’s thin and kind of cheap feeling, and there’s no felt/flocking/insulation between the three trim pieces where they contact each other resulting in squeaks and creaks when turning. I’ve been going through the...

    Dash Cam Error - Says Drive is full but it's nearly empty?

    Since the last update my Dashcam has stopped working and tells me the drive is full. However, the drive has maybe 5 GB on it and it's a 128GB microSD in a USB adapter. This drive has worked flawlessly for months and now refuses to work. I can get it to work if I reformat it, but after that...

    Interested in installing rear seat bumper reinforcement only - Question

    I'm not interested in the seats, but wouldn't mind the added safety of the rear bumper reinforcement. They're 200 bucks all day long on ebay so it seems like a very small price to pay for added safety. My question is - I have a late production 2017 Model S. Is installing this as simple as...

    Dynamat Dash Pad?

    I'm going through the car eliminating rattles and cheap sounding plasticky panels with felt and dynamat. The dash pad has always bothered me because of how thin and resonant it is and I would love to dynamat the especially resonant areas but is there any concern about the dynamat trapping any...

    WTT - Your Gloss Black/Dark Ash OEM Tesla Rear Console trim for my Matte Obeche

    What the title says. I bought a Model S rear console from a member and it's beautiful except the wood doesn't match my trim and as the trim is super easy to swap out I wanted to see if any members with a gloss black/dark ash console trim would like to swap it. It must be in the same condition...

    Chrome delete questions (rear hatch and vinyl color)

    I'm going to be doing a chrome delete soon and had a couple of questions I haven't been able to find an answer to: 1. Has anyone removed the chrome "T" from the rear hatch? Are there screw holes underneath it or is it only held on with tape? Any pics of the car without it (assuming no holes...

    No front plate in SoCal - worth it?

    The car looks so much better with no front plate and I've been considering removing it but would like an idea of how much grief I'm opening myself up to, especially since meter maids can cite for it. People running no front plate in SoCal - how to often do you get hassled? Fix it tickets? Meter...

    Modified my phone dock to accommodate a Samsung Galaxy S7 in a case

    I was really excited to see that there was an easy phone docking solution for my new 75D, but was very disappointed when I actually tried to put it to use with my cased phone. There were 2 problems 1. The charger plug didn't protrude far enough to make a connection with my cased phone. 2. The...
