    Wrap cost in los angeles

    Hey. Sorry for the delayed reply. Haven't been on the forums in a while. The guy that did my wrap worked out of his garage and did it as a side hobby. Turned out amazing for the price I paid. Unfortunately, I think he's stopped doing it now. I needed to re-wrap the rear bumper after getting rear...

    Wrap cost in los angeles

    I paid $1800 and that included a chrome delete. The guy I used works from his home so it takes like 5 days but he did an awesome job. PM me for his info. He's located in Buena Park. If you go to a private shop you'll pay closer to $3k or so.

    Light Harmonic speaker HONEST review and install

    I assume there's a Y connector somewhere because on the amp itself there are wires going into both the right and left speaker level inputs. But I know for sure that the amp is only hooked up to the right channel because the installer told me so and the bass disappears if I adjust the balance to...

    Light Harmonic speaker HONEST review and install

    I have the BA designs speakers and subwoofer installed for the last year and a half. I paid some dude to install it and quite frankly he did a sloppy job. The system shipped with an AudioControl LC2i line converter which he didn't install. He said that since the Rockford Fosgate amp had speaker...

    Recommendations on good quality after market CF spoiler for Model S?

    I installed an ikon motorsports "hennessy" style spoiler I got online for around $150. Fit is perfect and it's held up great for over 10k miles in SoCal weather.

    Model S vs Golf R

    It all depends what you really want. I owned a tuned Mk7 GTI before buying my Model S P85D. The S is definitely a more "grown up" look (which is what my wife wanted) if that's what you're going for. It's also ridiculous off the line. And I love not having to queue up at Costco for gas. But...

    Wireless Phone Charger for Tesla Model S

    Doesn't look like there's anything to hold the phone onto the charger. As soon as you accelerate it'll go flying.

    Vendor Skyline Model S/X wireless phone dock location - help us design!

    Sorry for the delayed reply. It's actually got a really strong suction cup that I've stuck on the side of the center console. Seems to be holding ok for now but I'm worried when the weather warms up it might not hold.

    Vendor Skyline Model S/X wireless phone dock location - help us design!

    This is where I mounted mine. Perfect location IMHO. Easy to see and access when needed and doesn't interfere with the screen or center console.

    Are they going to try and charge for autopilot?

    So I bought a used 2014 Model S P85D through Tesla's used car program almost a year ago. It has AP1 hardware only. The car was sold with "autopilot with convenience features" so I've had the "Autosteer (beta)" option and traffic aware cruise control and it works great. Today I was messing...

    Recommendations for Aftermarket Door panel ambient lighting

    Did you manage to get the SC to activate it for you? If so how??

    Recommendations for Aftermarket Door panel ambient lighting

    Where did you connect them? I've thought about adding my own LED strip. The PUP connector is inside the door panel but has to be activated through software which Tesla are not willing to do.

    "12V Battery Need Service" error and aftermarket sound system

    My aftermarket amp is connected in the exact same spot. I bought the car used in March and had the amp/sub installed shortly after. A couple of weeks ago I also got the 12v battery warning. Mobile tech replaced the battery but said if it happens again Tesla may not replace under warranty because...

    Creak from Vent Trim -- Possible fix?

    I had a similar rattle rather than a creak. I took the dash apart to wrap the trim in carbon fiber so while I was at it I managed to take out the problem vent and disassemble it. I used some tesa tape to lessen the play in some of the fins and the handle/slider thing. I actually think the...

    Steering Wheel Swap

    So I had done a similar wrap on my previous car (VW GTI) and did not use any tape. I didn't use any tape this time either except for at the 6 o clock position just to keep it from sliding. It's not totally necessary and you'll actually need to manipulate the leather a bit to get it to sit right...

    Steering Wheel Swap

    Sorry about the delay in my reply. I only just got round to installing this today. It actually turned out great considering I only paid $40 for it. Sure if you look close there are some edges that aren't perfect but it's very very good and a fraction of the price of a full re-upholstering. I...

    Purchasing Used From Tesla But Wheels Different

    My used P85D was advertised as having 21 inch wheels but the pictures they sent showed regular 19s. I pointed it out before I purchased and they said they would order brand new 21s for me. Lucky for me they ordered Arachnids (car was originally supposed to have turbines). I got to keep the 19s...

    Who is the OEM for the backup camera?

    The C version is the higher res camera. $67 is an amazing price. I just saw the eBay listing you're referring to. It is listed as new. I bought a used one for more than double that only last week. Go for it.

    Tesla says it can't be done: But it can: new higher resolution rear camera

    C camera is definitely higher res. F camera is the one I took out of mine. There is slightly more noise in the image at night but I'm ok with that.

    Tesla says it can't be done: But it can: new higher resolution rear camera

    It's not easy. We found it easier to remove the trim from the inside of the trunk which gave us better access to the connector and the tabs for the chrome applique. The way we did it (and maybe there are better ways but this is what worked) was to remove all the screws from the applique trim and...

    Bubble on instrument cluster

    I just noticed 2 small bubbles in the corner of my driver's screen today. It's got the 4 year CPO warranty. Should I wait for it to get worse or just take it in?

    Tesla says it can't be done: But it can: new higher resolution rear camera

    Just a follow up - the camera I got from eBay worked perfectly. It said used but I could hardly tell. Install was a PITA but I had some help and it was totally worth it.

    Tesla says it can't be done: But it can: new higher resolution rear camera

    Wrong part number. If I have been reading this thread correctly, that camera has the older (non-protruding) lens and is lower res than PN 1061269-00-C. I'm pretty sure that's the part already in my car and it's far inferior to the newer cameras on the loaners I've driven.

    Tesla says it can't be done: But it can: new higher resolution rear camera

    Must be. They wanted $395 plus tax and I said "Oh I just need the part, not installation", He said that is just the part. Installation is another $150.

    Tesla says it can't be done: But it can: new higher resolution rear camera

    Tesla Shortened My Cpo Warranty

    Well it's not really your position to tell me what to do but if it makes you feel better there's more to the story.

    Tesla Shortened My Cpo Warranty

    In the paperwork they gave you at delivery there should have been a full page document about the warranty for your specific VIN number. I'm attaching a copy of mine here.

    Wrap Color - Satin Dark Gray or Satin Black?

    Looks great! I have a black Model S and was torn between the same two colors. Still not 100% sure. I think the facelift looks better in dark grey but because of the nosecone, I think older pre-facelift cars (like mine) may look better in satin black...

    Subwoofer installation question

    Thanks for the input. Hopefully I can extend the power cable with a fuse as you said. It would be much cleaner to hide the amp under the sub. The amp does have speaker level inputs which is why I'm not sure if routing the signal through the L2Ci (rather than direct to the amp) would add any...

    Subwoofer installation question

    So I bought the BA Design subwoofer kit which includes a Rockford Fosgate amp, LC2i converter and of course the sub. I had it installed professionally by someone who was recommended to me by another forum member who had the same sub kit installed by the guy. Even though he was charging around...
