I hesitated to post here but since I have experienced this I'll go ahead anyway. I think you can get a good deal from a dealer as well. Not necessarily as high as an individual sale, but you can certainly get more for your car than you paid for it. How do I know? I just did it with my Refreshed...

I hope this modification gets to the point where a complete dumdum like me can install it. I don't do any automotive work, aside from washing my car anymore, and I don't understand any of the electronic-speak in this thread. But I appreciate what Ryan is doing and again thank him for sharing his...

Whatever you do, DO NOT buy this piece of junk! I bought it in 2020, and 10 months later when I needed to use it, it crapped out ten seconds into me trying to inflate my tire. And never worked again.

And these just seem to me like such huge missed opportunities. Real head scratchers.

I heard this in the voices of Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers. 😄

Funny that I'm seeing all these Spotify issues coming up in here now. It's been a less-than-great experience for me, too. I just posted in another thread my "solution". I have a Spotify premium account and because of the issues with Spotify in my refreshed Model S (not syncing correctly, not...

Just a heads up. Don't count on Spotify in the car to be a flawless experience in the car. My experience with it has been less than great. I usually just use the Spotify app on my phone for music because it works better. For podcasts, I ended up putting Pocket Casts on my phone and using that in...

I'm still wondering if they'll ever bother putting the Energy App back in the Model S. Can't think of why they'd remove it, because it was very helpful. At least helpful in alleviating range anxiety for me! Lol!

Yeah, the Spotify in my Model 3 before and now in my current Model S never gets the UI quite right for me. Doesn't sync playlists right, doesn't show the full playlist, tends to "hang" a lot. So I just use my phone's Spotify app most of the time.

Funny thing. I've never played any of the games on either my 2018 Model 3 or my new Model S. Might have to look into these now - you made me curious about them.

That's a shame. The young man who has come out to my place on a couple of occasions was really good and thorough. I hope you give them feedback on your experience. I hope you can get all four issues resolved at the SC.

I think @Mash is on to the correct issue here. This subject came up in this thread from @rhuber recently. I've linked the first post about it and the description, with photos and the discussion which follows that post. Good luck!

Like this? 🙃

Good question. Although I think they are a necessary alternative for shifting if the screen goes out, they also are a little bit out of the way. You still have to look away from the road, down at the center console, to choose the correct button to press. I initially thought I'd use them as my...

I doubt it's you. I'm assuming you're getting it directly from the Tesla page for your car. If so, perhaps Tesla hasn't yet formatted it so that it can be downloaded as a PDF? That's all I can guess.

I've had mine since September and I'm still not loving the yoke, but I REALLY dislike the lack of stalks. I'm one of those people who feel it's not only not a benefit, but can be more dangerous in certain situations. Add to that the number of other issues I'm having with service for various...

Interesting. I can at least narrow down the potential problem by opening the trunk and trying it from the inside. Thank you.

This should be a recall item for Tesla. Crazy that they let something like this get through their quality control.

And there's the other issue I'm having: the charging handle button doesn't open my charging port door a lot of the time. Five, six, seven...ten presses, and then finally it might open. Usually, I just give up and press the charging port door so it pops open. But we shouldn't have to do that. I...

Yeah, I think I may do this. Wipe the profile and create it again. Thanks. What's funny is that I'm the only driver of the car 99% of the time. Only my wife and one of my sons have their own profiles and they almost never drive the car (maybe three times in the past three months).

It'll be interesting to hear what they say. Good luck!

Even though I've set my car to always raise the suspension for my home, the car constantly "forgets" to do it. I've reset it dozens of times to raise the suspension, and when I do set it up each time, it invariably "asks" me if I want to always raise the car when I get to my house. So I press...

Yep. Happens to me, too. Probably less than 50% of the time for me, but it happens. I always use my app to make sure it's locked after I walk away now.

I love this one. And it's worth it for the few people who will get the reference.

I should have put a sarcasm or facetious warning in my post. I'm totally awed by what you're doing, Ryan. But I'm the guy who didn't pay attention in school and never learned how to do cool stuff like this. So my joke is always along the lines of "if anything breaks on me I'm going to just sell...

How about? GOPLAID PLAIDAF IDWIN IONZAP BUHBYE LOLOPEC (this one's been done a lot) Mine is IONFUN, by the way.

Yeah, this is the point where I'd just say, "F*** it!", and sell the car. Lol! Actually, it would have been long before this because I don't know how to do any of this stuff, but I'm totally fascinated by this!

No idea if it will support your car or not but I've been using the StatsApp for Tesla for almost four years and I really like it. Tesla App | Stats for Tesla

Which Model S are you referring to?

I put the matte protector from TWRAPS on and it’s perfect. Nice feel, no diminished view. I don’t even notice it’s there. And it was easy to install. Very happy with it.

Haven't had this happen but I'm pretty sure Carlos's co-worker is full of beans. It's not supposed to look like that. Keep pressing the issue with them, otherwise they'll just ignore it.

Funny thing. Driving my car today I noticed the yoke buttons flickering. I actually thought it was my imagination so I ignored it. But I kept seeing the buttons flicker. And now I pop in here and see this thread. So weird. No other issues to report with this, although I've now got low tire...

I've been using car washes for three years, with a Model 3 and my Model S. First, I never heard anything official that says you shouldn't put a Tesla through a car wash. It's just a car. A really nice car, but it can go through a car wash. Putting it in Neutral is fine. My two main car wash...

Ah, ok. Thanks for the extra info and photos. Very helpful!

Just ordered the front screen wrap in matte from TWRAPS. They look very good.

Yes. At least my Refreshed LR Model S does.

I also thought this would be part of the refresh Model S, but was surprised it isn't. I've gotten pretty good at setting everything before going into the car wash but it was touch and go the first few times. Hopefully an update is coming, but it should have been there all along.

I have a question since I also have this haze issue on my refresh Model S. Is the haze on the interior or the exterior of the windshield? Or both? I had my windshield tinted as well and it just made the haze look even worse, so my tint guy will replace it at no charge if I want him to, but...

No advice but I'd like to see the solution to this as well. This has been a bug for me for a while. Happened in my 2018 M3 as well.

I don't know if this is where SRTConvert got his, but there's a nice selection here: Epoxy Dots

Continuing to watch with interest and admiration. Thanks!

Are you referring to the Sentry Mode Live View function? The one in which you can send your voice through the external speaker? If so, yes, mine works on my LR refresh Model S. You enable it by going into your Tesla app on your phone, choosing Security, then pressing the button to view the live...

Very good point regarding the additional paint surface in the front that can be affected by rocks, etc.

Good question, and no, you’re not insane for thinking you don’t want PPF or ceramic coating. I think it’s a very personal choice. In my case I chose to get PPF because I still don’t trust Tesla’s paint jobs. Others may feel differently. Maybe they’ve gotten better since I bought my Model 3 in...

That is just gorgeous!

Thanks! That’s a great question, really. Personally I think it makes the color look a bit better. Where I really notice it is right after it gets a good washing. It somehow looks “cleaner”, or more bold to my eyes. Not a lot, but a little better. Richer, maybe. It was the same way with my Model...

This is another fantastic, brilliant, and necessary mod! Kudos! Thank you for continuing to share your (very funny) videos and your knowledge. I really appreciate what you're doing.

Fullbody PPF: Suntek Reaction Ceramic Film. 3M Ceramic Tint - 70% Classic Shine, LLC, Lancaster, PA Forgive the water spots I didn't wipe off in the first photo. iPhone photos only.

Really happy with the Suntek Reaction Ceramic Film PPF that I got. Full body wrap. My shop threw in a complete 70% (I only wanted that much) tint - all windows, including windshield, for free with it. Sorry about some of the water spots I didn't wipe off in the first pic!
