This thread is for the general discussion of the marketplace listing Radio Flyer Tesla Model S. Please add to the discussion here.

I called Tesla about a possible bulletin on my 2014 Model S 60. It turned out that the bulletin I was calling about does not exist in the US, but the Tesla representative was very thorough and gave me the complete list of bulletins for my car. Some of them are fixes required only in case of...

I have installed a stitch-on leather cover on my '14 Model S's steering wheel. I did some digging beforehand, but I could not find much info. So here is my review, in case it helps others. The steering wheel on my Model S was still in very good shape, but I always found it to be too shiny and...

Hello! Does anybody have any recommendations for electricians with level 2 charger experience in the Los Angeles area? After 8 years, our Bosh level 2 home charger is starting to misbehave. When I charge at full power (40A) it trips the circuit breaker at random. I have to lower the power to...

Hi! I am looking to by a Model S car cover. Ideally with an open for the charging port, like the one sold by Abstract Ocean. It is for indoor use, so it does not need as heavy. I have tried a couple of covers from Amazon, but they don't fit right... Thanks!

My Model S was mercilessly attacked by a tumbleweed, of all things. It left an unsightly scratch on the front corner of the car, and I am hoping that a good detailer can buff it out. Anybody has any recommendations? Thanks!

Hi there! I am entertaining the idea of getting a ProClip cellphone mount for my '14 Model S. If anybody has one, ping me. Thanks!

I was driving down the 405 this afternoon and suddenly I found myself surrounded by a flock of… Faraday Future FF 91s. At least four. It seems that FF might still be in business. The most remarkable thing is how stale their styling has become since the prototype was announced. They blend so...

Hi there! This is a bit of a feeler, just to gauge interest. We may have to sell our 2014 BMW i3 BEV Mega. It looks and works great, but our commute might change. If that is the case we will probably need a car with more range. We bought this car 4 years ago and we are the second owners. We had...

I just wanted to share that I had a great experience replacing my rims at Nitrous Garage in Pomona (California). They did not ask for any reviews and I am not getting any discounts or anything, just sharing in case anybody is looking for a reliable place to change their wheels :) For some time...

Here is a weird one... My house has two solar systems. The second one was installed about a year after the first one because we needed more power after switching to EVs. It took a while for the second system to show up in the app, and when it did, a third system also showed up. I was told...

Just wanted to share a quick story. First, to show how amazing the Tesla community can be, and also in case the person happens to read this forum. Last weekend I went to visit the Mount Wilson Observatory near Los Angeles. I parked my Model S at the visitors lot and away I went. When I came...

This is a rather silly problem, but it is starting to drive me a bit nuts. Since about three or four software updates ago (currently on 2022.12.3.16) any rendering of my car related to the parking sensors shows up as the current version of blue paint, which happens not to be the color of my...

I use autopark daily with my AP1 Model S because my garage is small and I can barely get out of the car once it is inside. I have clearance set up as tight, and for years it worked like a charm. The car pulled all the way to the front and the garage door closed without a problem. But since the...

Hello! I am looking into adding a Powerwall to my solar system, and a vendor offered the option of a 20 year lease rather than buying. I was planning on just getting a single Powerwall to back up select circuits and pay it outright, but the option of leasing is intriguing for the following...

I just got some Taptes covers for my 2014 Model S with original seats. Before ordering them, I had done some digging to see if they were worth the money, but most of the opinions that I found online were for the Model 3 and Y only. I assume that a number of people with older Teslas might also be...

Hi! I got my MCU upgraded and I have just noticed that the screen has a clear plastic cover. I assume that needs to be removed, but I have not seen of anybody having to do so. Also, it seems to go under the edges, so I am afraid of messing up things if I just pull. Has anybody found the same...

Hi! In case anybody is interested, I am listing my Torklift Central The Law license plate bracket holder on eBay. You can find it here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/324671127082 I am open to selling it directly to a TMC member in the Los Angeles area and skip the shipping.

I just got an email from BMW to let me know that starting February next year, my BMW i3 will no longer have 3G connectivity. Meaning, no real time traffic info, no access through the app, etc. And there is no fix for it. This sucks, of course. But the reason why I bring it up here is because of...

I am used to seeing Teslas with the red spray painted "wheel of shame" that Tesla service provides as a temporary replacement. But yesterday I saw a MS with what looked like a temporary wheel (it was a different color than the others), and rather than the random red tag, this one had the Tesla...

I saw an odd Amazon truck a few days ago that seems to be advertised as electric. Yet, it is not a Rivian prototype and I could not find any references to it online. Anybody knows?

A few weeks ago I had a Tesla ranger come over to fix one my rear doors. In order to do that, he had to remove the back seat. After he put it back, I noticed that there is a rather noticeable gap under the seat. A few days later another ranger had to check my car for an unrelated problem and I...

I am considering installing a spoiler for the most dad reason ever: to prevent the hatch from scratching if it hits a low ceiling (it almost happened the other day). Getting the top notch OEM spoiler would be the overkill to end all overkills, so I am thinking about getting a more affordable...

It is just me, or those Sonic Silver Tempest aero wheels that leaked through a software update last September have been scrubbed from the more recent version? I wonder what happened there. Was Tesla planning to release them with the (supposed) MS/MX update that got postponed? I doubt they just...

Of course, the yacht floor, one of the features that I like the most from my Model S, is also one of the few that is no longer available. Here is one to the convenience of this defunct concept... After digging for any purposely designed options for wireless charging on cars without the center...

I got my solar panels back when with Solar City and this summer I was notified that legacy Solar City accounts had to be merged with any existing Tesla accounts. They gave a quick explanation on how to do it and everything looked very straightforward. Except that it was not the case because...

I am sure I am not the first one asking this, but I could not find a thread discussing the topic... With 77K my MS 60 is about to turn 5 in a couple of months. When I was fixing the yellowing of the MCU, the SC told me that I will be due for the scheduled service then (every 2 years now). But...

I bumped into this Model 3 today, with some very odd sensor or antenna attached to back of the roof, driver's side. A dark round rod, a couple of inches thick and about a foot tall, with a bit of an edge around the top. My first thought was that it could be some sort of municipal vehicle (Los...

Driving around Los Angeles/Century City... At first the size and shape made me think that it could be a Rivian but... booooh, I am pretty sure I saw a tailpipe and fuel tank. Although I must say, the tank looked rather small and the tailpipe seemed oddly tucked through the middle of the rear...

I have seen FCA cars like these a number of times, with manufacturer plates, cables running along the roof and some weird sensors attached to the wheels. Anybody knows what they might be testing here? They are always cars already in production, so I assume it is some sort of long term...

There is a little detail that has been bugging me since Tesla showed the Plaid cars at the Nürburgring: one of the cars seems to have a European plate AND half pealed California HOV decals. So many questions. Does Tesla request HOV stickers for its test cars? If so, how long ago was this one...

I was walking back home when I spotted an oddly looking car plugged at a public charger. What caught my eye were the hilariously fake exhaust tip ends. When I approached, it turned out to be a disguised Porsche EV. Compared to the pics of the Taycan, it seems to be the same car. Probably some...

I logged in into my Tesla account today and to my surprise, I was greeted by... the wrong car. I have a dark blue nosecone, and Tesla shows my car now as post facelift with a different shade of blue. But the true kicker came after I clicked on it. Now the car is black and it has no tires! Like...

It might be all in my head, but I want to say that for the past few weeks, chimes and nav directions sound distorted. Like the speaker where they are coming from is not right. The trick is, I cannot pinpoint exactly where that speaker is in order to isolate the issue. I assumed that they came...

I keep bumping into the same problem. Much worse with Waze, but also with Tesla navigation. Most times, the suggested route does not seem to take into account things like left turns against heavy incoming traffic or crossing major thoroughfares where one does not have the right of way. The...

I bought a new, never painted, OEM front bumper cover for my 2014 MS with AP1 and I may not use it after all. I may just keep it as a spare, but I am sharing with the community in case anybody is looking. I paid $600 for it, so that would be my asking price, fair and square. I also bought a...

I might replace my nosecone and rather that removing the double sided tape that keeps the parking sensors attached, I thought it would be more civilized to get a new set of holders for the new (to me) nosecone, and then just transfer the sensors leaving the original holders in place. The...

After reading some threads about vinyl wrapping I have decided it to give it a go and wrap my nosecone. The problem is that I am kind of meh about the carbon fiber look. Anybody knows if there is a good match out there for the old PMMB paint? I found this one, but it is hard to tell...

I could not find any threads in English about this product, so I’d like to put the question out there. Does the TeslaChip really do anything, or is it pretty much just the range increase that you would get from mindful driving?

Now that RPM is no longer offering their carbon fiber wrapped nosecone replacement, does anybody know of any similar alternatives? My nosecone has minor scuffing and I would wrap it myself, but it has the parking sensors and I am sure I would find a way to mess them up...

Maybe it has been a long day and I am just imagining things. Or maybe there is a matte black MS prototype driving around Los Angeles. I was driving south on La Brea and Jefferson, not terribly far from Tesla's headquarters in Hawthorne, when out of the corner of my eye I saw a matte black Model...

I am looking at the CARiD bumper covers and they are much more affordable than OEM. Anybody has any experience with their parts? They are just bumper covers, but I don’t want them to crack or fall off right after I install them :)

I managed to get my front bumper cover rather mangled. I was ready to contact the SC to fix it, but a thought came to mind. Given the famously long wait times for Tesla parts and high prices, would it be faster (cheaper?) to order an aftermarket facelift upgrade kit? Not that I need to have the...

Perhaps this is something already well known and I am just late to the party but the past few times that I have fully charged the battery, I have noticed that regenerative breaking does not work for a bit after I start driving. Is this expected behavior? It seems to make sense, if the battery...

My tan leather seats are starting to show some cracking and I would like to have them taken care of before things get too bad. Any recommendations for places in the SoCal area to refinish seats? I know that products like leatherique work well for this, but since my seats are not black and I was...

It is that time of the year, and I am confronted with the same question that I am never able to satisfactorily answer... how should we do about claiming the fuel deduction when using an EV? So far I just add to the fuel category specific charges from networks like EV Go, and count on my home...

Here is my contender for most OCD thread of the day. The driver’s door handle on my MS has some scratches from a previous, jewelry-loving, owner. I was looking into ways of masking it with a wrap, but all the ones that I have found are either very showy (fake carbon fiber and such) or only...

This is my random, probably stupid musing of the week... Instead of adding volumetric sensors or coming up with locks for the folding seats... why not just offer the option to replace the small corner window with plexiglass? Other cars have used this material for the exact same application...

I am starting to suspect that there is something amiss with my MS’s rear right window. At random times I have found it to be a crack open. I thought it was just somebody hitting the switch by mistake. But yesterday I caught it in the act: sometimes the window won’t go back up after lowering when...
