    TPMS Upgrade

    Now I'm stuck trying to get Toolbox access to change the tpms_type to Continental-2. The SC won't do it due to "liability" (whatever that means). I installed the ECU that I purchased at the SC! not like I installed a 3rd-party ECU. Anyway, they said to contact an Authorized Tesla Collision...

    TPMS Upgrade

    My local SC in PA charges $980 for 4 new TPMS wheel sensors plus the ECU module and harness. The tech told me they've never done any of the "module only" retrofits, but in case your vehicle has a VIN > 50900 and was manu'd before 9/17/2014, you will very likely have the harness already there...

    Continental TPMS Retrofit

    I opened up the panels today and found the 6-ping harness just sitting there ready for use. I believe my VIN 54797 was manu'd during a period in 2014 when Tesla was including the harness for the Conti ECU, but still installing the Balong ECU in the rear. Not sure why they did this, perhaps to...

    New tpms system question

    I just finished the first half (ECU install) of the TPMS retrofit on my 2014 Model S VIN 54797. There is a Service Bulletin https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2016/SB-10081828-5448.pdf that indicates there are two paths for upgrade: ECU module only, and ECU module + additional wiring harness. I...

    Continental TPMS Retrofit

    The NHTSA service bulletin mentions two fixes: one that requires just the module, when the 6-pin connector exists in the harness, and a more involved procedure that includes a harness extension and the module. Which Model Ss have the 6-pin connector in the harness already, but have the old...

    TPMS retrofit for older Model S

    Would it also work to cut the pink/green cable in the RH harness, which ostensibly feeds the old ECU? then you don't have to remove the old ECU nor worry about CAN conflicts?

    Continental TPMS Retrofit

    did you have to replace the harness? or just the ECU?? the harness replacement seems much more involved.

    Supercharger - King of Prussia, PA

    i was at the tesla store last night and pushed the sales guy for an answer. he said they are “evaluating sites in KoP” and that he expected the SC to be installed 1Q20. he intimated that the holdup is convincing Simon properties of the value of putting the SC at the mall. he strongly suggested...

    Supercharger - King of Prussia, PA

    I've visited the Tesla store twice in the last two weeks and talked briefly with two different sales people. When asked about the timing and location of the SC, they both said "it's going in at the Wegmans", one even saying it would be behind the Wegmans.

    Elon Musk vs. Short sellers

    The interesting aspect to #crookedchanos is that, for him, this really isn’t about money. Sure, his firm has a short position on TSLA but it’s relatively small compared to the larger firms. For him, it’s his reputation he’s protecting. That is why Tesla HAS to be a bad investment, because he...
