Anyone have any recommendations for a source for buying a 12V battery? I'm not interested in the lithium battery because I've heard that these can have issues when Tesla updates software. In my 2018 S, the first battery died after about 11 months. The replacement has lasted 4 years and I'm...

I'm just about at my 2 year anniversary of getting my Model S. Sometime soon after purchasing it, Tesla eliminated their annual maintenance recommendations. But there are still a few things that they recommend every 2 years: - cabin air filter - tire rotation, balance, and alignment - brake...

I installed an Ecohitch on my 2018 Model S 75D a few months ago. Up until this weekend I had only used it for short trips around town, so I hadn't had any data points on how my range was affected. This weekend I did my first out of town trip carrying bikes. I was carrying 3 mountain bikes, say...

I've noticed recently that when I park, and put the vehicle in Park, the seatbelt chime starts ringing when I unbuckle the seatbelt, even though the car is in Park. Also, when I get in the car after it has been parked, and press the brake pedal to turn on the car, the seatbelt chime will start...

I have a 2018 MS purchased last July. I started getting a musty smell when I turned on the AC, that would dissipate after running the AC for a while. I decided to change my non-hepa cabin filter, the youtube videos made it look pretty easy. I got it all apart and my car does not look like even...

With the recent discount I finally bit the bullet and got AP/FSD. I'm in the process of reading the Model S owners manual sections on autopilot features. This is over 20 pages, which I will finish reading, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a 1-pager cheat sheet that lists a summary the...

I got my new Model S this past July, and did not opt in for EAP at the time. Then I did the trial right after that, but still didn't pull the trigger, as I couldn't get myself to spend the extra $500 so soon after the original purchase, though it did make me wish that I had bought it originally...

I'm looking into getting the Wet Okole seat covers for the rear seats in my 2018 Model S 75D. Does anyone have any experience with these covers? I'm wondering if installation requires removal of the seats.

I have a new Model S with the latest center console. Regarding the section of the center console that is meant to hold your phone, I never put my phone there. I want to use this section for more permanent storage, but when the lid is closed, that section is opened up to the larger 'cup holder'...

When I ordered my Model S back in June, I ordered the sunroof only because I wanted to be able to install a roof rack. I finally installed my roof rack, with a bike carrier, and there is not enough clearance for the sunroof to open. I'm fine with this, but I don't want to find out what happens...

Just started my autopilot trial yesterday. I didn't think I would get much benefit from autopilot, which is why I didn't buy it in the first place. But I am liking the auto-park/summon functionality. The only thing is, I need it to park closer to the wall than it wants to. We have a tight...

I ordered some Coverking neoprene seat covers for my rear seats (2018 S 75D), for protection from kids and dog. The seat covers I received do not fit, my headrests are much larger than what the covers are made for. I'm currently working with the retailer to see if they can send me the correct...

Once I pick up my Model S, hopefully this week, I'll be installing an aftermarket set of 20 inch wheels on it. That will leave me with a stock set (19" silver slipstream) with about 15 miles on them (distance from delivery center to home). They'll include the stock tires and TPMS. A new set from...

I'll be taking delivery of my new Model S sometime this week. I already have a set of 20 inch aftermarket wheels that I will be swapping out. In researching on how to reset the TPMS for the new wheels, it seems that the reset process makes you choose the wheel size, either 19 or 21 inch, with no...

My city utility gives a larger rebate on charging installation if the wall connector is wifi enabled. As far as i know the Tesla wall connector cannot be wifi enabled, is this correct? If i go with something like the Juicebox, is there any disadvantage of this over the Tesla connector?
