I got quotes from all over Chicagoland. I went with Outlast Auto Detail in Addison. It was recommended to me by two separate detailing places near me. He did a nice job but apparently I had a good deal and their prices have gone up. Still worth a call. Chicago Auto Pros is highly regarded but...

I have reached an agreement with a buyer. Thank you all for your interest.

No, but perhaps some of the odor does :)

Yes it is

I'm selling a new/sealed Signature Black wall connector (24' cable) for $485. Shipping is included to the lower 48 states. I prefer PayPal as the transaction method. Thanks!

I have the Blackvue DR900s. I cannot recommend it if you use android. The app is a flaky piece of garbage. It takes numerous attempts to login, if you can at all. This is for both the local and cloud connect options. It works well (though still flaky at times) on my wife's iPhone. If I take...

I would like this back. I prefer the rear camera on top while driving with the media player below. I don't need the nav screen on at all times. I haven't taken the time yet to see if it's possible. I hope it is.

I have metallic silver and love it. Named it Megatron.

I've had my X for three months. I had the same fears after reading this forum you're having. I had one minor scratch on mine during delivery and that's the only issue with the car to this point. It was repaired within a week and I was provided a model S loaner, which was fun. I find a lot of...

So far I've done all the black plastic (or whatever the material is) that runs along the bottom of the car... Around the wheels and in the wheel wells, the rocker panels, below the bumper, etc. I noticed the fading mostly above the wheels, and washing didn't solve the problem. It all looked...

Funny, I've also regained my interest in detailing since buying my X. Here's what I've used (mostly based on auto-detailing forum recommendations). - ONR. The key here, is to use a lot of microfiber towels. Fold them into quarters and as soon as you get some visible dirt marks, flip the towel...

I used ONR wash and shine prior to my ppf wrap install and there was no issue. For that matter, your ppf installer should be prepping the paint surface immediately prior to installation. After install, you'll want to make sure you're not covering the wrapped surface with anything containing...

If I didn't have young kids, I felt the textile looked plenty nice and probably would have gone with it. I just know we're going to have a fair share of liquid spills and dumbassery which made the upgraded interior the choice.

Are you talking about PPF wrap (protection) or vinyl wrap (change the look)? If youre changing the color/look, just make sure you find a damn good installer. Both vinyl and plastidip can look like garbage if done with short cuts... especially plastidip. If you're getting ppf wrap, make sure...

Thanks for sharing. I don't have a 3D printer but can appreciate the work that goes into this. I'll see if my buddy can print off that cubby drawer for me .

I've been and owner and reader of this forum for a short time, but it's possibly a testament to Tesla that with almost every obscure feature that another car company comes up with, you can count on someone making a post in here complaining how Tesla doesn't have it. They have reached this level...

One of the main reasons I'm in a X is because I'm 6'7, 265lbs. I need the shoulder and leg room. I have yet to be called effeminate for driving a X :)

I'm taking a lazy path and saw this one on eBay for $13 after shipping. It has 5 star reviews. I'll let everyone know how it is when it arrives this weekend.

I'll add one more for you. Instead of waxing, use opti-seal. I did my X this morning with it and it took all of 15 minutes, and that was with me being cautious not to get any into the seams of my wrap. You can apply it to everything, not just the paint. The application should last 3-6 months...

My experience after one month: - Had a minor scratch near the hood on delivery. The service center experience to repair this was fantastic. Fast. Smooth. Had a fun time with the model S loaner. - Had a Blackvue DR900s installed by a local shop. It was well worth the $300 in labor cost in my...

Apparently, they need to get the SC situation out there fixed. I'm in the suburbs of Chicago, had an appointment to fix a minor scratch that was present on delivery (model X) at the Westmont service center. Pulled right up and was out the door with a S loaner within 5 minutes at the most. Keep...

Can't help you with an installer. I'd call around to shops that do car audio. It's in the same realm. Also make sure they've worked on Teslas before. My quick question to weed them out is to ask them where they'd hook up power. I will say right now, my Blackvue DR900s 2ch is almost unusable on...

I just had a Blackvue 900DRS 2 channel installed on my X at Street Style in St. Charles for the MSRP of the camera plus $300 in labor. They did a perfect job. Clean. Can hardly see the front camera from how I sit, and not at all in some positions that I normally sit in. They knew how to connect...

As Kev1n said, that sounds right. I'm dropping mine off at 7AM and picking it up at the end of the next day, so it's two full working days. I believe as much of the work goes into prepping the surface as any other part of the process. I'm not doing a full ceramic coating on the vehicle at this...

The best quotes are around $2100 for full front plus the 4 doors

Seems good for Iowa. I'm getting numerous quotes in at $1400 for a full front in the Chicagoland area. One thing you may want to consider is getting the doors done in addition to the full front. That's what I'm doing. There's a thread somewhere in this site about the spray pattern on the X...

This is correct. I've programmed garage door openers for smart homes. Without an additional sensor/mechanism for the door state itself there is no way of knowing. The vast majority of openers will only accept one command. Only recently do openers come equipped with communication protocols that...

Has Tesla overhauled any of their cars yet? I don't think the roadster counts because of the hiatus. Tesla seems to take a DevOps IT-type approach with (relatively) small iterative changes. As many have noted, comparing a model S from 2012 to today's model S is a big difference. My money...

Haven't taken delivery of my X yet (just a couple more weeks), but my OA has been really cool. Hooked me up with a referral from someone who didn't have one.

I live in the Western Burbs and have a X75D on order. In doing research, I thought it might he a good idea to have a thread where people can share their experiences with third party Tesla related services in the Chicagoland area. I'm particularly interested in wrap/tint installers, as well as...

Yes, it wasn't that way this morning. They renewed it not long after I posted.
