I just used painters tape on the interior and exterior metal to window. When I put it back I made sure the tape lined up before tightening the clamp.

The newer one only has one wire that plugs into the door handle control unit? The one I rebuilt from my car this weekend had two (along with the silver motor) just like one of your pictures. I assume the eBay kit is the one with a black motor and only 1 wire? Interesting... Edit: never mind. I...

I just pulled my door apart and fixed the metal flipper thingy that breaks. Here are some notes for a future searcher... - I found taking the window off to be *so* far superior to the hack of trying to get the topmost nut off the stud without window removal. My poor knuckles. - My 2017 75D had...

It's still available.

Looked it up, yes it has the UHFS option :) Music is important!

Sorry, don't know what this means.

Selling (I think, 97% sure) my Sept 2017 build (HW2.5) 75D. 19,200 miles Tesla OEM Carbon Fiber rear spoiler Tesla OEM Carbon Fiber dash trim XPEL PPF for front hood + bumper + mirrors Full chrome delete (all black except logo which is white) Full car ceramic treatment WeatherTech Mats in Trunk...

I do use PIN-to-drive, so that might be why my car was bricked. And it happened in my garage which sucked for towing.

No idea. Not the case with mine.

MY2017 | MCU1 | HW2.5 | EAP My MCU already failed once bricking my car in the garage. Not sure if they put in a new or refurb'd MCU but I am guessing that extends my countdown timer to the next bricking. Glad it happened under warranty (the first time). Aside from that guillotine hanging over...

Nope. Still does it. Had a service person acknowledge it once but said none of the solutions worked.

The CYBRTRK as constructed by combining the letters. :cool:

My 2017 MCU1 died at just under 2 years old and ~15k miles bricking the car in my garage.

Also, I log data myself (into google sheets) so I track my efficiency over time. The presentation here is ugly but it gets the point across. Around 12,500mi (x-axis) I moved to a hilly place in the Fall and you can see my efficiency got really bad (relative to where it was before) and...

I find this table helpful: Tesla Range Table - Teslike.com Generally, I have never achieved the range Tesla advertises in 75D Model S. I have the 20" wheels, and I am determined to one day figure out how to measure how much energy they "cost" because I suspect it's substantial. Disappointed...

Exactly. It doesn't respect direction, right-of-way, line markings (like painted spaces), or really anything that isn't a hard obstacle. It just drives directly to where you are trying not to hit anything (and sometimes does so backwards). This is totally impractical in any situation except...

Smart summon sucks in current form. You're not missing anything.

Final update: I got the car back yesterday so it was gone 11 days in total. The MCU was replaced and all seems back to normal. (However, I did lose a bunch of settings, including my "Trip A" which was the car's lifetime Wh/m history. Sad trombone.) Once the service center started responding and...

My MCU was dead. As such, this was not a possibility.

I feel conflicted about sharing the SC. 1) Coincidence or not, shortly after this post they got their act together and I am getting daily updates and 2) even though I hated to call anyone out, a Company is one thing but a few (potentially overworked, under resourced) individuals is another. On...

Coincidence, or perhaps folks from Tesla monitor these forums, but minutes after I posted I got a text and then a phone call. Once I talked to a human they were great. But, talking to a human was *way* too hard. Clearly something is broken. Maybe they're short staffed. Maybe there is no process...

9/17 build.

Yes, it is.

Car "bricked" in my garage. Had to be towed out. MCU would not come on. Car would not go into D R or N. No reset approach worked. Tesla had roadside service tow car. This is a Friday. Friday: no communication from Tesla, as emergency roadside assistance said I would get (confirming receipt at...

Is it possible to disable the key fob button that opens the rear trunk / tailgate? I now have a metal structure above my car and am afraid if the trunk is accidentally opened (has happened a couple times over the years when the key is in my pocket) it'll open into the metal and shatter the glass.

Just in time for the end of winter. Sigh.

I think you might have! :( I bought 20" TSportLine turbine replicas with Pirelli Sottozero 3's and am very pleased. Would highly recommend. No drama. Pictures vs. OEM 21s here: Summer vs. Winter Link to wheel/tire package: 20

I don't know what this means...

Is there a way to report bugs to Tesla from within the car? Via the MCU?

Had the issue on 2018.39.6 8377b4d. Photo taken 10/16. 9/2017 build with HW2.5. Not sure which MCU.

I am very pleased I took your advice and put the winter setup on!!!

Here's an example of the data that the Google Sheet/Script I linked saves: https://i.imgur.com/lwt72ky.png https://i.imgur.com/uNqKRAb.png (two images because it was too wide) If you write a script to find the value of Energy Added (kWh) immediately preceding a 0 in the same column you should...

Yes, have been using this one built in Google Sheets: link.

Mildly Interesting: As I patiently waited for v9 (got it today woohoo) I pulled the number of days of spent on each software version since I started collecting data in March. Results below. About an average of a month per version which a high of 52 days and a low of 16. (First version data is...

Winters it is. Thanks everyone!

I am driving cross country in mid-October, Mid-Atlantic to Pacific Northwest. Tesla mapping sends me up past Chicago, into South Dakota, then through Montana and Idaho. Any insight on whether I should use my OEM 21" turbines or my winter set? One consideration would be weather, I welcome any...

If you are in Early Access and want to follow the rules but like data logging I just found a gist with code that logs a Tesla's data into a private Google Sheet (I guess you own the data, not a 3rd party, so it follows the rules): Link to gist. Functionality seems minimal compared to something...

I am considering doing a cross country trip this fall from the mid-atlantic region out to the pacific northwest. I looked at the route suggested by Tesla, but I am wondering whether anyone has recommendations for hotels (e.g., with destination chargers) or places not to miss along the way. Also...

Wat? The 100D 0.1s faster than the 75D - 4.1s vs 4.2s. Imperceptible. So absolutely not "substantially quicker." The 100D will charge faster because of the battery pack. This matters most when supercharging and is a nice benefit.

Worse. The exhaust notes in an M5 are fake, piped in through the audio system. As a former NA in-line 6 and then V8 M3 owner, this was the moment I mentally broke up with BMW. Why they thought it was OK to create a fake exhaust note for the cabin I have no idea, but says everything about...

I hate branding on floor mats!

Have you installed this on a Model S? Was there enough depth to the carpet/map for the anchors?

I am nearing a year of ownership and my (driver) floor mat no longer sticks to the velcro sewn into the floor. Therefore, the mat tends to slide and bunch up around the pedals. No bueno. I have Weathertech in the trunk and frunk but don't like the aesthetic in the cabin. Anyone have a solution...

This is very true, though I think 200 is a bit low. Probably in the 210-215 range. Yes. In the bottom left chart you can see the times it charged up to 259 and near 259. But you can also see how the peaks are decreasing.

See below for data I've collected on my MS 75D (I started collecting at ~2700mi). This is what I have learned in 10 months of ownership. 1) You cannot count on 259 miles of range. If you look at the bottom right chart you can see my efficiency in Wh/mi. The rated range (259 miles) requires ~280...

About once a month I charge to 100%. I thought charging to a lower max (e.g., 70%) was good for the battery in the long run. It that not correct?

I wrote a Google Script to pull data from my MS (75D) every hour (using the API) and dump it into a Google Sheet. Of course that makes charting really simple. Finally got around to playing with the data and thought it was mildly interesting, enough so to share. Takeaways: max range does...

I use a standard hockey puck and it works perfectly.

Have some of this with the 2.5 hardware as well. It's scary. I've also noted that there is a spot on my local highway that runs directly next to a normal street and for some reason the speed limit data briefly flips to 25mph on the *highway" which seems to cause the car to suddenly want to...

In absence of OPs confirmation, it does look like the Camaro is pulled off ahead, to the right side sandwiched between two State Trooper SUVs. So, I am guessing they did catch up with the at fault driver for those wondering... OP, really glad you're OK regardless of circumstance.
