    PLAID damaged by TESLA minutes before delivery!

    If only people knew the amount of dings and dents that cars (non-Teslas) get while being transported to their final destination by truck/trailer, fixed by the dealer (key here is dealer, as Tesla do not have nor specialize in body repair) and then sold on lots. It sucks, but you have 2 legit...

    Xpel front wrap & parking sensor issues

    My installer actually had some device (think like a grommet kit with a cutter that is the appropiate size [Amazon.com : grommet cutter]) that cut it perfectly. I don't think I would do it by hand cause if you catch an edge and cause a tear it will collect dirt and likely expand. I'd find a...

    how to test for battery health during a test drive.

    Battery health is unfortunately going to be tough to test -- some things I would check are the battery pack part numbers (check against the "bad" or "problematic" ones that have been in market), compared original miles vs today (then you back into a curve of degradation although its best guess...

    AC Works, Mostly

    Same problem here -- have been fighting this since 2017 and I leave warranty this Sept and it's aggravating/worrisome I'll be coming out of pocket for this. They've replaced almost my entire AC system (except for compressor) at this point. I get random, extremely hot/warm air, when the AC is...

    12v 150w pure sine wave inverter causes MCU to freak out!

    Which inverter did you get, if you don't mind me asking?

    Travel Through Cajon Pass on I-15

    I've done Pearl Blossom a few times, and each time I get stuck behind slow trucks, I regret not taking the "normal" 118/210/15. Plus it's littered with amenities and chargers if needed. I'm over in Calabasas and take that route all the time.

    Travel Through Cajon Pass on I-15

    I usually burn 20-30 "miles" going up the grade for the 6 or so miles it really is...but on the backside (Santa Clarita side), I maybe only use 5-6 miles for the next actual 20 miles. It evens out somewhat. But don't speed...65-70mph seems to keep the car the happiest. It will be 400-700wh/m...

    Radio upgrade coming soon for MCU2 upgrade

    I made a reservation for Mid-Nov for this and will see if it holds...they'll usually review a week beforehand and tell me go/no go.

    Did you get the Auto pilot HW3 upgrade and do you see Cones?

    For me, it's actually more distracting. Not necessary at all.

    Rear roof glass repairs - Safelite or Tesla?

    Just had a bolt hit my roof glass -- I have a glass deductible of $100 for Tesla genuine replacement, but the process was interesting. First off, Safelite wouldn't touch it out here in CA. They also referred me to "Sunroof Express" which also won't touch it. They then sent me to Tesla to get...

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    Not correct. Got the upgrade and I had to call them back (mobile service) to take the film off the new IC screen they didn't remove before putting the dashboard back on.

    FS: Blackvue DR900S-2CH UHD

    I have a used (but brand new front cam replaced new under warranty, only used rear) DR900S-2CH setup. I took this out of my MS so the only thing missing is the video coax cable that you will need from front to back and can be acquired from Blackvue for at most $35 I believe. This includes...

    Is this curb rash worth $100 to fix?

    Here in CA Tesla outsources all wheel repairs to mobile repair guys.

    Logo replacements for maxspider mats

    Hi all, the Etsy shop that used to make these is no longer a thing. Anyone know where to find the replacement logos (or could make them??) for the Maxspider mats? Thx a lot!

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    Which Xbox controllers were recommended for the arcade games? (Wireless I hope)

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    Yeah, the performance improvement is simply night and day. I only noticed the film cause I saw some surface scratches on the IC while driving yesterday and then a super tiny bubble...which then when cleaning it I noticed it was just film, not the actual glass. Mobile service is coming on...

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    I got mine done last week. Just realizing now they left the protective screen plastic on the IC! I also will admit, it was the first install the Agoura Hills SC in Los Angeles had ever done. They explained they had to remove the A/B pillars and even the top of the dash to do the work too...

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    Just thought I'd drop back in here and say thank you...they removed my labour charge and saved me $200+, thanks for your help! Car should be ready for pickup today. Cheers

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    Can anyone share their invoice with their personal info stricken/removed? And if possible, if you're in CA? I am still being charged for labor and tax on mine here next Monday and wondering why no one else seems to have the same. PM if better! Thanks a lot

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    As I said, price is not $2500 flat anymore...at least in CA. They must've recoded the products/services, so that the $2500 is taxed (likely a mistake as I've seen northern california invoices without it previously) and now includes $214.50 of labor. See attached screenshot of my appt/accepted...

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    It was: $2500 for the upgrade $210 for labor $250 for tax on the upgrade (no tax on labor) not charging for labor on first set of owners was likely a mistake.

    Tuxmats vs 3d maxpiders???

    Can you link the store pages? The one on Etsy only has one color available...hoping there's more out there. :)

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    I got an appt for Monday but unsure if I will go given the nature of things...perhaps just push a week. Also, my quote was different than most. It included (cant do a screenshot now) the $2500 fee, $210 and change for labor, and then the $2500 itself was taxed. The all-in cost was $2900 and...

    Contemplating "swapping" my Nov. 2014 S85 for a Sept. 2017 S100D - Would you?

    I have a MCU1 and would caution that...very doubtful. Also, AP2.5 has nothing to do with MCU versions. Good luck.

    Contemplating "swapping" my Nov. 2014 S85 for a Sept. 2017 S100D - Would you?

    I would only swap for a MCU2 at this point -- if that was included, then I would say yes

    New soft closing door kit for Model S

    It shows delivery to the US by 10/2, yikes! Shipping is also $75. I like those brackets...but it seems like now teslaoffer and this seller are likely the same. What kind of confirms is the expensive shipping for about $200 to the states which makes it almost the same price as teslaoffer too...
