    HANSSHOW Trunk Liftgate v3 install

    Did they mention any specifics on the improvements with this new firmware? I'm nervous about installing it on my v6 since I'm not really having any problems after we discovered that some of the new behavior is actually intended and the opening height can be set by holding the button down until...

    HANSSHOW Trunk Liftgate v3 install

    @Allan O I ordered mine on Nov 20 and received it Nov 30, and I apparently got v6. My instructions say v4 so that's the source of confusion. You may have v6 depending on your order date. I think the easiest way to tell is whether or not you have a speaker module included in your parts, because...

    HANSSHOW Trunk Liftgate v3 install

    Agreed, great video, thank you @Dekodan. You are right about the CAN bus and button on the screen, you have to sit in the drivers seat but also press the brake so that the car leaves Easy Entry mode, and then the button says "open" and you can click it to close the trunk. I am still unable to...

    HANSSHOW Trunk Liftgate v3 install

    I just installed a v4 trunk kit that I received last week and it seems to have a couple problems I've not seen anyone mention. First is that even though it's connected to CAN, I am not able to close the trunk from the touch screen when it is open. The button is greyed out and says "opened". As...

    DIY Almost Free Super Bright LEDs

    I would love to upgrade the dome lights too, but look at what you have to do to pop out the module. Broken tabs, ouch! But once it's out it looks like the backside comes off by unscrewing.

    Any plans for a heated steering wheel and birds eye view?

    I am hoping when they introduce the heated steering wheel, we will be able to swap it out on our existing cars that came without it. Or a third party may produce a heated wheel that we can swap. It appears to be pretty easy to remove the wheel, remove the air bag and then install the air bag...

    DIY Almost Free Super Bright LEDs

    Agreed, may be better to install a transparent LED strip somewhere along the rear bumper, and connect it to the brake wiring harness so that it only comes on when the backup lights come on. EDIT: Something like this: Back up lights

    Indiana AWD Waiting Room

    Thanks for telling us about your experience, even though it is an unfortunate one. I am sorry to hear that there may be some issues going on at our service center, and that you experienced the worst of it during the very first part of your new ownership. I do agree with you that most of the...

    Indiana AWD Waiting Room

    I took delivery yesterday. There was a paint defect on the left rear quarter panel that had to be fixed at a body/paint shop in Zionsville, so there were some delays over the course of about a week where we had to play it day by day. The staff at the Indy SC are amazing, keeping in contact and...

    Indiana AWD Waiting Room

    That's great to hear! After my first delivery was cancelled, I waited a few weeks with no new delivery being scheduled, so I contacted my delivery advisor. He quickly replied back with a new date for me of Tuesday October 23 at 5 PM. Hope this one comes through!

    Like many of you, I just got a call cancelling my delivery for 9/26, with only a one day notice :( They don't know when the new date will be yet.

    DIY Almost Free Super Bright LEDs

    Some of these RGBs LEDs (like the ones at Adafruit) only require a single wire for signalling, so it would be really handy if there was a way to fish that wire back to a central location so that all of the LEDs can be controlled from a single controller. Then you wouldn't need 8 separate...

    DIY Almost Free Super Bright LEDs

    No, they are 3.3 V, so would need something like a voltage buck converter inline with the 12 volts to the controller. It would probably be best for all of that to be on its own circuit board or in a custom LED housing.

    I have delivery scheduled for 9/26 and have still not received my VIN, so being less than a week away I called the Service Center in Castleton at (317) 814-6667 and they were able to look up my account and ready out my VIN! It is in the 91xxx range.

    DIY Almost Free Super Bright LEDs

    It would be pretty cool to find a tiny Bluetooth controller (maybe like the ESP3212) and wire that in to a RGB LED strip, then with a mobile app you could change the color and brightness of the lighting in your car based on mood! Might not be enough space for it in the LED assembly though.

    Indiana AWD Waiting Room

    I got an email from a delivery scheduling advisor on 9/11 and we scheduled delivery for 9/26 at the Castleton Corner location. Two days later and no confirmation on my Tesla account page, and no VIN... Reservation: 1/4/2018 Order: 6/30/2018 Delivery: 9/26/2018 LR AWD, Red exterior, Black...
