    Larger Mud Flaps

    Has anyone found mudflaps for the Model Y that are a little bit larger in size then the ones Tesla puts on the front wheels in northern states? They are pretty flimsy and too small which still lets mud and slush spray on the sides. I know you want to keep them to a minimal size so as not to...

    Creaking sound from drivers side door hinge

    I have a 12/2016 build MS with a creaking/cracking-sound as I open and close the front door which I traced to the upper hinge on the door. On previous cars I owned, correcting this noise was just a matter of greasing the 'spring' and the part it rubbed against on the hinge but I don't see that...

    Linking Issue with fobs and profiles

    I have a 12/2016 MS with 3 fobs and FSD beta 2023.7.20. Previously, all 3 fobs were linked to different profiles (mine, wife, guest). This weekend we took a trip and I found that every time my wife got in (first), it no longer picked her profile. After thinking something was messed up, I took...

    Replace rear view mirror with Gentex Homelink Autodimming one?

    Just got our MYLR and would prefer not to hang the garage door opener from the sun visor (or buy the Homelink adapter or pay for Homelink membership). When we bought our 2017 Chevy Volt, it also lacked Homelink so I removed the OEM dimming rear view mirror and hardwired in a Gentex one with...

    Enhanced AutoPilot after build

    We just ordered a 2023 MY with just the basics to keep the cost down for now but am somewhat interested in EAP. I assume it can be purchased after delivery but is the price still the same as if bought at build time? Also, for subscription FSD, can you turn it on and off per month? Or is there...

    Mystery to Solve! Temp and Parking Sensor Failure after heavy rain or car wash...

    So I have a mystery with my 12/2016 build 75D MS that is driving me crazy and hope there are some good detectives here on the forum to solve it. For the last year, I have had my external temp sensor temporarily go from the current/correct temp to -40F and then to "---". This happens every time...

    Battery and component insulation to reduce losses in cold weather

    After reading an interesting article on InsideEVs about battery capacity loss in cold weather, I went to the Recurrent website ( Winter & Cold Weather EV Range Loss in 7,000 Cars ) to get more information. I was surprised to see that my Model S 75D had TERRIBLE cold-weather performance...

    OBDii to Tesla Pinout for 2017 MS w/20 pin connector

    A few years back I bought a cable that allowed me to connect my OBDii interface to the Tesla connector under the main screen. Yesterday, when I was getting ready to use it again, I accidentally hooked the 20-pin end and yanked it completely off the cable. The connector is fine but the wires were...

    Goodyear Eagle Touring T1

    Trying to find a new or almost new Goodyear Eagle Touring 245/45/19 tire with the T1 designation. Have tried a number of tire stores but no one seems to know where to get one. I have found a number of the T0 ones, and also quite a few 245/45/19 without the foam (non-SCT) but want to match the...

    No notifications at all for several months

    I am at wits end with this software issue. Had my MCU1/HW2.0 vehicle updated with the new computer and infotainment system June 1. Since then I do not get app notifications for software updates, security alarms, start/stop/interrupt charging and now for windows/doors open. I have done several...

    WTB Gen1 5-20 Adapter

    Anyone have a 5-20 adapter for the Gen1 Mobile Connector kicking around that they would like to get rid of? I see Tesla has them back in stock for $45 but that is more than it is worth for the one location I would use it at. Thanks.

    Change seat color?

    My 2016.5 MS came with Next Gen tan seats but I must admit when I see the blue exterior with white interior, it looks so much nicer. Are there any options to dye the leather seats / trim white or is the only option new 'skins'? I have never worked with leather, thus the question. Thanks.

    Odd beeps and flashes

    I have been getting a number of beeps (from inside the vehicle) and/or light flashes as I enter my car. Usually 3 dings and just today 3 parking light flashes (well, at least the front amber 'eyelash' ones flashed as I was in the garage with the door down). This is after the door handles present...

    Cruise Control Unavailable...

    Two times in the past 2 months, after stopping and then resuming a trip, EAP/FSD has failed. What is odd is that on the front screen, I do not see any road lines (like the cameras are not working), no cars are seen in front (like the radar is not working), no speed limit signs appear (like maps...

    Trailer Wiring Harness for 2017 Model S

    I bought a trailer hitch for my 12/2016 Model S and although it will be used 95% for my bike rack, I would still like to have wiring for my seldom-used trailer. I did a search here and found a number of posts on the topic BUT they were for model years pre-facelift and from what I could tell...

    Slipstream Wheels vs Rial Luganos

    I am dredging up an old post (from 2015) but with a slightly different angle on the difference between the 19" OEM Slipstream and 19" Rial Lugano rims. There were discussions about using this rim for winter snows and most of the comments were favorable. Last year I got a used set of snows and...

    Damaged/Broken UMC adapter

    Looking for a cheap UMC adapter from a Gen1 unit to take apart. Need the 'rear' portion to be undamaged but don't care if the male blades are there or the rubber cut. Don't care which one - 5-15, 6-50, etc... Thanks.

    Gen1 UMC - 110/220V using the 'standard' adapter?

    We have a Gen 2 Volt and the EVSE that came with it has a non-changeable NEMA 5-15 plug that fits all the typical 110V grounded wall outlets one finds in a house. But someone found out that if, instead of having one hot and one neutral blade, you put the 'hot' from one leg of a 220V feed on one...

    Heavy coating driver front rim - seized caliper?

    I have been noticing that (only) the drivers front rim is getting very dirty with a dark grayish coating and am wondering if I might have a sticking caliper which is causing the bake pad to drag. Has anyone experienced the same issue? Is there some way to confirm this is the issue without having...

    Tesla vs External Route Planners

    We are getting ready to do our first 'long' trip (350 miles) and have a question of the Tesla route planner versus the other two major ones (A Better Trip Planner and EVTrip Planner). I did a search but didn't find any recent information... So, we are driving from mid Michigan to Dayton next...

    Update Center Console USB?

    Neither of my phones (LG G6, Samsung S9) will charge when I plug them into the console USB ports that face forward on my 2016.5 MS - I get an error message saying charging is limited and I can just barely 'maintain' the level it was at. It doesn't matter which one I use (I did search and read...

    Tweaking Software?

    Before getting my MS, I had two VWs and used a software/hardware combination from a company called Ross_Tech that allowed owners to make small changes to various modules in the car via the OBDII port. For example, if you wanted to change the delay time for lights on after leaving the vehicle...

    Cabin filter on facelift MS

    My car hit 2 years and I reviewed the Tesla maintenance schedule. One item is the cabin filter. Searching in this forum found several references to which are the better ones to buy but I am more interested in where it is located. When I went onliine to search for videos, I found several showing...

    Headlight 'steering'

    My 12/2016 was produced with the premium upgrades package and from what I read, the headlights should steer in the direction the car is going (Adaptive Front Lighting System). My EOS had this feature and it was both fantastic and noticeable (easily a 10-15 degree shift). I have yet to see them...

    Connectors for portable charger

    With my new (used) MS, I got the portable charger and 2 adapters - one for 120V 15A common wall sockets and another for a 50A 220V connector. I found where they sell others but was wondering if anyone has made and posted a DIY process for various sockets out there? We also have a Volt and its...

    Groaning noise from front area of car

    Good morning all, I keep hearing a strange noise coming from the front of the car when it is parked. It has happened about half a dozen times so far that I heard. It doesn't matter if I have a fob or not and I do not have air suspension so it is not the air pump. Usually I hear it after I...

    Lane Assist Vibration Very Light?

    I have read the V9 manual and have Lane Assist properly turned on but even at speeds above 40 I cannot feel any vibration or feel the car trying to steer me back into the lane. Am I not understanding the feature? Every time I tried it, the line markings have been excellent, no bad weather, no...

    Tire wear on 60D

    Hello all, I just purchased a used 2016 MS 60D with 12K miles and have a question about tire wear. I was unable to get any records so I don't know anything about service on the vehicle (e.g. did they do tire rotations) however a quick check of all the tires showed 2 at 7/32+ and 2 at just above...
