Hi @kebel21 , The proper place for the external Ipass license plate transponder is on or in the front bumper. It will not work inside of the car... Many problems with my wife's 2015 S 85 D... I ended up mounting it inside the center of the "nose cone" bumper... I just had to replace it as the...

Hi @JPWX, The list still looks good to me... As someone above mentioned your trailer dealer may be able to help installing things. A time critical item is the Tesla Adapter harness 1072586-00-A It may be available through your Tesla service center. Not something your trailer dealer will...

Hi @JPWX , The brakes on the trailer of this weight have electromagnets to clamp on the disc or to expand the brake shoes to slow the trailer... The controllers help to modulate the amount of electricity sent to the brakes. The Prodigy controllers have a inertial sensor to apply more voltage...

Hi @JPWX, You will need to buy some parts for the trailer brake system.... 1072586-00-A Trailer Brake adapter harness... From Tesla Service Center or eBay $11 to $20 Prodigy P3 Brake Controller $150 to $200 Amazon or your local trailer supply... Do NOT TRY and of the RF brake controllers...

Hi @Kitty_T , I have an odd suggestion for you. There is an app. called “My Battery Health” for sale in the Apple App Store. The price when I bought it was $10 USD. A caution the app developers are in Canada or in France. Some of the instructions are in English or mixed French/English. As a...

Hi All, In OP’s case the GPS in the car could be fouled up… Shawn

Hi @rayclaxton , Welcome to TMC !!! Please help us to help you. We need to know the Model of your car as well as the year, and if it has any specialty packages of options. I apologize if this is in your signature. I am responding on a phone which does not show your signature. On the...

Hi All, I have a condo and a HOA in Florida. Good news for me is that it is a small 8 unit building. The HOA are neighbors and were amenable to an installation for an outlet for my car. We do not have deeded parking spaces or any specific spots other than by seniority. I was able to “reserve...

Hi All, WRONG. A bolt is not just a bolt… Standard of the shelf hardware store bolts are usually Grade 5. In the Tesla part number description the 10.9 indicates the grade of the bolts. They are special. The proper torque spec. is 80 ft/lbs. Six threads of engagement is pitiful for what these...

Hi @Jay Kamhi , Sorry for your troubled tires... I have had some flat tire experiences in my Model X. At my (former) favorite Mexican restaurant I found 2 screws and a nail in the same tire! I don't go there any more... Thank you for the pictures of your tires. I don't know if they are before...

Hi @Birdcar , With the vintage of your car you have the Continental TPMS system… It would show a low tire pressure or other symptoms for a single tire. You likely have a TPMS ECU failure. It will not give readings for any tire… The good news is that the ECU is less expensive than a tire...

Hi @mojavedesert , Sorry if I missed it but I did not see whether you have a fob or not and where do you store your phone or your spouse's phone in proximity to the car... If the phone is too close to the car it will never rest or sleep... If your situation is such that the phone(s) have to be...

Tweezers, needle nose pliers, or a Sewing needle Hold the two connectors next to each other and you will see the “extra “ material The “extra “ material needs to be removed… It is interfering with the full engagement of the pins.

Hi @Jsrconst , In line with what @Eric33432 said your car is not sleeping or cannot sleep… Two suggestions while you explore the situation… Turn off Bluetooth while your phone charges in the evening. Your Tesla app will complain that it’s better with Bluetooth on, but it’s not paying the...

Hi, I’m sorry I cannot be more descriptive but it has been a long time since I replaced mine. At the front bottom of the garnish there is another piece of plastic that connects to the garnish with a torx screw. The screw in mine was easily overlooked because the part was full of dirt and road...

Hi @Misterbee , You need a Service Center Visit... They may not be able to fix everything but you should be able to leave the service center with lights and turn signals. Electric brakes take additional time and equipment... The "live" 12 volts for battery charging will take the promised...

Hi All, In my service center experience with the 12 volt pin in the trailer connector, the service center confirmed there was no power on the pin. They added that since the 15.5 volt lithium battery there has been no power to the pin. They added that there is a retrofit in process to restore...

Hi @Alluck, It is an emergency trunk release. If the power fails pulling on the tab will pull on the cable which will release the trunk latch. If the cable has worked its way out of the tab you may be able to put it back. If not a service center or mobile technician will be able to fix it for...

Hi @Misterbee , Your problem is different from what is being discussed above. You have additional problems. The easiest start to testing is a Curt 7 pin trailer tester or a similar device. 7-Way RV Blade Connector Tester You will be able to see what works and what does not work. Plug it in and...

Hi @lonnielevi , I can confirm the Aux pin is dead in the refresh Model X. Mine is a September 2022 Long Range. After dancing with the Service Center, they confirmed that all cars with the 16V lithium battery have a dead Aux pin. They also said that Tesla has a retrofit in process to make the...

Hi @solardudesf , Sorry for the delay... I have a picture of my "wire" installation. The wire is from a manila tag like you might use at a yard sale... The bare wire is pushed through the fabric spaced at the width of the camera housing. The wire is pushed between the glass and the conduit for...

Hi All, I recommend taking the car to any current tire shop and asking them to test your TPMS sensors. Tell them that the Model year is 2020, they will not know the difference. Any tires that return good readings have the Wrong TPMS installed. Any tires with bad readings will need to be tested...

Hi @Loves , Both bolts per camber arm must be removed from the car. I struggled with it a bit but I found if I put as much of my weight as possible on the opposite end of the camber arm casting - I could open a narrow “V” where the horseshoe needs to be. Once you open the space it is possible...

Hi @JAG , You may want to look at the BougeRV line of refrigerators on Amazon. I bought one recently and it looks good to me. I have not yet road tested it but I will soon. Shawn

Hi @SabrToothSqrl , I was about to post a link to the Twraps that you list above in your Amazon link... The good news is that they are few dollars less expensive direct from Twraps... $79 I have a few pieces of the Twraps on my Model X and they look good and they are holding up well...

Hi @sbkim , I have tried the Tesla branded glass roof sunshade and I do NOT like it. The fit around the triple camera housing is poor and will not allow for easy setting and removing of the visors. Some people have broken their windshields with this sunshade. Visit the thread mentioned below...

Hi @solardudesf , This is very strange. I bought from WooEv, RPMTesla, and Tesla. The ones from WooEv were the ones that work. They have changed their name to Linerx. They no longer show the sun shade for Model X... Their shade does not have a cut out for the triple camera. It stops short of...

Hi @geordi , Thank you for your reply... I was hoping for your sake and your lack of desire to purchase a compressor that reversed hoses might have been your issue... Good luck, Shawn

Hi Guys, I have 3 of these now from different vendors, including Tesla, and they all fit poorly... It does not matter whether the Tesla tag is on the right or the left as the part is symmetric. The poor fit area is around the triple camera housing... When it is fit per instructions, the metal...

Hi @geordi , I really think it would be worthwhile and a time saver to confirm that your car compressor is plumbed properly. TSB is attached below. I would ask your Service Center for a quote, goodwill, or warranty just to check for the condition. They may have or you may have an endoscopic...

Hi @weespeed , And always try the scroll wheel reboot as well as the wheel change reboot. Before I had the “location” one of the reboots occasionally worked… Good luck, Shawn

Hi @gregd , I am away and slower than usual. Amazon links can be a crapshoot… In Amazon search for: Sensit 590883 It should turn up the correct 433 MHz part… for $25.99 each from Tire Network. Please let me know how I can help. Shawn

Hi @Bestla , That is unfortunate… It can be done by mobile service. I had my 2018 recalibrated by mobile. Before I could even greet the technician he had my car open connected and recalibrated. He introduced himself and left… It should be relatively inexpensive. Good luck, Shawn

Hi @gregd , These are what I have used on my car and for a few members here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/buyagain?ref_=navm_cs_buy_again I was obsessed with the TPMS years ago… Your best option would be to upgrade your OVMS 3 to the new cable and K- line option. That way you are “future...

Hi @Bestla , Yes. In the past year of software updates Tesla added this option on your menus. When you bring up your list of menus, it is under the “Service” option. In the right column of choices - Choose the option to calibrate the steering wheel, seats, and others. I am away from my car, so...

Hi @neo1738 , He did say that the new system was “weaker” than the older system. I need some time with the new aiming point to be sure it works consistently. Time will tell… Shawn

Hi All, I FOUND THE ANSWER...!!! It was the dreaded "Customer Education." They have relocated the antenna for the charge port. In my 2018 Model X the antenna was roughly 13 inches ABOVE the charge port. I think it was actually in the liftgate. For my 2022 Model X the charge port antenna is 8...

Hi All, Someone above asked about the grade of the bolts... It is nested in the Tesla part description: They are High-Strength Metric Class 10.9 Shawn

Hi @Les236 , My imperfect memory remembers the possibility that Tesla may have overlooked installing some certificates in your car. I think this may be possible to do remotely... Good luck, Shawn

Hi @geordi , You may want to have your car checked against Service Bulletin SB-16-18-002 This bulletin was specific for 2016 Model X with crappy A/C and crappy cooling at Superchargers. The condenser tubing was installed on the incorrect condenser ports... May also have condenser tubing...

Hi All, Mine rarely worked until Software 2023.7.30 Then it worked well for a long time. It failed yesterday. I used the Service Menu to reinstall software 2023.7.30 Now it works again... ???? Shawn

Hi, I installed the MacBoost spacers on my X. I would recommend anyone trying to do this to use a 6 point socket. The Tesla bolts are weird with a slight taper on the hex. With the torque required to fasten them the hex can strip... Good luck, Shawn

Hi @apercele79 , Just call the charging team... Way back when there was a 4 year warranty on these things. It never hurts to ask... Good luck, Shawn

Hi @FloridaSun , The shim or washer is only half of the MacBoost operation. The toe is changed by the camber change. In the kit he gives specific instructions to adjust toe to return to stock after changed by addition of shims... Good luck, Shawn

Hi @Muddy , We have at least 2 very experienced Airstream users here. They could give you another reference... @ohmman and @JimVandegriff Good luck, Shawn

Hi @Christopher Chan , You might look at Twraps.com They have individual pieces. The front bumper is a good piece. They also have a front 1 foot of the hood. This will provide minimal coverage but it will cover the worst bug blasted or sand blasted surfaces... The downside is they expect you...

Hi @Tiger, The horseshoe spacers for the 2022 Model X seem to be laser cut from stainless steel... Someone else asked about washers from the hardware store... The area under the camber mount is very large... Maybe someone will measure the thickness of the Macsboost kit for you, not me... A...

Hi @APX20 , I would mention another place to look for these kits is: Macsboost.com They are a performance motorsports company. They offer adjustable camber kits for Tesla S and X 2021 and earlier... For the "new," refresh, Palladium Tesla X and S 2021+ They offer a "kit" which consists of 2...

Hi @kvk1 , Welcome to TMC... Sorry you are having this problem with your Model X. The problem I seen in your video is what we used to call "ping ponging." The car bounced or wandered between the lane lines. Some things to try: Under Service Menu > Camera Calibration It will take a while -...

Hi @Howoff , The filters can be changed by Mobile service or at the Service Center... Shawn
