    Dinged rocker. Advice needed.

    Can’t be reached from behind the wheel well. Had the same thing happen to my car. Had to have a collision center repair it.

    I just had the upgraded daughterboard installed. July: screen went black, took it in Tesla reconfigured the FPGA module August: noticed garbled text, performed a reboot via the scroll wheels. MCU got stuck in a boot loop. Tesla performed a emmc script update November: Screen goes dark again...

    What options of tires are there for 21 wheel?

    I’ll chime in here, I have staggered 21’s on my car. I have the Falken Azenis and I’ve hit quite a few potholes and not once cracked a rim or blown a tire (I’m not running stock 21’s) I did however, have the replace the rear tires after 16,000 miles. I have a MS75 RWD and I launch the car quite...

    MCU died, car now charging slow. Is this normal?

    Sorry meant to say my screen is dead. I’m currently on 2020.36.11 Thanks for pointing me to that thread, looks like Tesla created a limp mode for when the emmc chip dies. My A/C does turn off when I exit the car and my charging is limited to 8 amps. However my turn signals don’t function...

    MCU died, car now charging slow. Is this normal?

    My MCU has the infamous black screen. However I’m still able to connect to the car via the app. I know it’s the Emmc issue. My car is only charging at 8 amps versus the normal 32 amps, is this normal for a emmc failure? Since the MCU is dead I can’t check to see if I can adjust the amps.

    AP1 ONLY Please -- life after 2018.50.6

    2016 AP1 car, my MCU died on the 4th randomly. Tried the scroll button reset to no avail. Strange thing, my A/C stayed running, even with the car supposedly off. Not sure as to the cause it’s at SC getting replaced (under warranty) Will report back when I finally get my car back.

    The Ridiculous Service Process that Is Tesla Motors

    Tesla service is the reason I’m thinking of selling my Model S. My MCU died on the 4th and my A/C was stuck running even with the car off. Earliest appt was on the 20th. Ended up dropping my car off Monday the 6th. The SA gave me one days worth of Uber Credits. Told me to contact him today...

    Former S Owners need your opinion

    Thanks for all of responses. I decided to stick with my S. I can’t get over the front end of the 3 versus my S. The side profile and rear of the 3 are very similar to my S (looks wise). IMO the front end of the S is sexy. The front end of the 3 is attractive but at certain angles just looks goofy.

    Former S Owners need your opinion

    I currently have a 2016 Model S (facelift)with 60kwh battery. Ability to upgrade it to a 75 has disappeared from the Tesla Website. I have 1st gen textile seats,AP1,base audio, no power lift gate, no air suspension, etc It’s basically a stripped down S. I think these were released right...

    Model S blinking Morse code with headlights when parked?

    You’re not the only one. I noticed it last night, kind of freaked me out. I suspect it’s a firmware bug.

    I highly recommend Oliver Perry Electricians 786-469-9410 I received several quotes from other electricians and all of them were over priced (case of the Tesla tax). Oliver Perry was honest and upfront (which is hard to find in Miami) Check out his Yelp reviews

    Refreshed Headlight DRL is yellow, not solid white

    Check this thread out Late 2016 / Early 2017 S Owners: How Are Your Daytime Running Lights Holding Up? I’m on my 3rd or 4th set of headlights. It’s an ongoing issue. Each time I get one replaced the other one goes out. I’m just going to wait until it finally goes out to replace them once again.

    It should come with floor mats, two sets of keys, and tail lights without condensation. If anything is missing make note and request a due bill (either they provide them there or you’ll have to pick them up/have it fixed at a later date. According to the 70 point inspection the minimum tread...

    Florida Sun Pass Transponder?

    I mount mine on the designated spot to the right of the mirror. It’s been hit and miss, certain tolls pick it up and others don’t. I believe there is an option to mount it in the nosecone area.

    My Model S 85D Story. Ordering to Delivery!

    Love the car hate the company (or at least employees)

    The CPO warranty does not have a $200 deductible. That’s the extended warranty that you can purchase from Tesla that has the $200 deductible (per visit: if you have multiple issues it’s just one charge of $200, not $200 per issue) I had the LED DRL go out on both of my headlights. Made an...

    Tesla Floating Center Cap

    Bought a set of new rims for my Model S (Axis MS wheels) and hated the center cap that came with them. Looked around the net and ran into these. These are floating Tesla center caps. The “T” always stays upright while driving (it floats like the Rolls Royce wheels) $90 for all 4. These do fit...

    Upsized 90D from 19" -> 21" - won't fit?

    I have the same exact setup. I have no rubbing whatsoever. Axis MS 21x9 front Axis MS 21x10 rear I do have the Falken Azenis tires. But they are the same size 245 front 265 rear I don’t have air suspension so that might be it. Weird nonetheless

    Tesla model s rotational noise.. help

    I’m not sure if it will give you a direct psi readout. The Gen 2 TPMS gives the individual tire pressures. Not sure when the switchover to Gen 2 was made. Best bet is to get a hand gauge and check.

    Tesla model s rotational noise.. help

    Guessing here, The factory tires have acoustic foam inside, guessing that some of that foam has come loose and that’s the sound you’re hearing. Take it to a tire shop and have them dismount the tire from the rim. Also have you checked to make sure the tires are properly inflated?

    CPO vs. Non CPO

    CPO vs. Non CPO

    I bought a CPO and considered going thru a third party. The 4 year Bumper to Bumper warranty was what sold me on a CPO. You can’t purchase the Tesla extended warranty if you buy from a 3rd party. The MCU is very expensive, door handles are another expensive part to replace (if you go thru...
