    SOLD - 2023 Model X LR, 6 Seats, Immaculate! DFW Area $84,999

    We're selling our Model X! We hate to do it, but need the space and we already have a Model Y, R1T, and Model 3 coming soon, so it's time to let her go. Full details & pics here: 2023 Tesla Model X LR Miles: 2,354 White, Long Range, Black/Ebony, 6 Seats, Yoke, 20" CyberStream Wheels Premium...

    Solar Panels on a Flat Roof

    Ours are all on weighted sleds (not installed by Tesla, since they won't install on a flat roof in some states, incl TX).

    Abstract Ocean - Frustrated

    Hi all Sorry about the confusion. We have an automated email that was set to fire for pre-orders, but I forgot to disable it when we put the camera covers in stock today after spending the weekend stuffing 1200+ envelopes. Any orders placed today are not pre-orders, and will, as usual, ship...

    2022 Model Y - USB Data Ports - USB-A Glovebox Only

    It seems at this point Tesla are making it difficult enough to not be worth the effort. We've not had any reports of our 'normal' mini to mini cable coming loose or detaching, if you're concerned about that, a wrap of electrical tape will provide some extra confidence. It's not something you'll...

    2022 Model Y - USB Data Ports - USB-A Glovebox Only

    Lol. In that case you're on the cusp of maybe having the cable there and tied up, chopped off, or entirely absent. Only way to know for sure is to check.

    2022 Model Y - USB Data Ports - USB-A Glovebox Only

    I would normally expect a Model year '21 3 or Y to still have full data capabilities. As a general rule, Model Year '22 and onwards do not have the data capability on the front USB C ports, and June '22 onwards do not have the cable. There's aways exceptions, but I don't think we've seen any...

    Clear Coat on RPMTesla Spoiler Flaking After 15 Months?

    Lol. It's amazing the stuff some of the tech's claim voids the warranty.
  12. pete8314

    Clear Coat on RPMTesla Spoiler Flaking After 15 Months?

    It's definitely a failure of the clearcoat, either not enough coats, poor UV stability, or it was applied in damp conditions (most likely). Obviously there's many Tesla's out there still with the OG spoilers from their 2013 Model S that are not having issues, so this shouldn't be a thing, not...

    2022 Model X front doors difference versus 2021 Model X?

    Late to this thread (though not as late as our Model X delivery!). No issues with the drivers door functions (not key, just iPhones), but wish the passenger door would do the same; I assume there's no way for that to happen, presumably it doesn't have the same presence sensors the drivers door has?

    No trunk side lights

    Here's where the lights should be, and if they're not, you should be able to feel for the punchouts. The actual power cables for the lights will be nearby, but tend to be tucked away a little, still easy enough to find though. I've added a little more information to our help article.

    No trunk side lights

    Thanks @SoCal Buzz , fixed! Those damn pick and mix pages are the bane of my life!

    No trunk side lights

    Hello all. We miss the days where Tesla wiring was simple, now everything is software limited, but for the pre-refresh Model S, all the cables are indeed there, and they're all hot. In the trunk and doors, you do need to cut the holes, but they're already scored, so it's not difficult. For under...

    Removing cover below glovebox

    It still looks the same in those pics though, just mirrored, of course. My general advice when removing trim is 'don't be shy about it'; the guys that take cars apart for service certainly aren't, so normally these panels are designed to be removed fairly ungracefully. But yes, once you've...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    He did it wrong. The correct order is: - Turn off from the Center Screen - Disconnect the negative lead from the 12V battery - Disconnect the electrical harness from the HV controller connection (under the rear seat). You'll hear the contactor clunk open. - Wait 2 minutes for the system to...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    You can, that's how you do it, back seat and the 12V battery. The car is most certainly dead at that point.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Blacked out for sure, or removed. I don't have many pics of my matted grey, the two below are the trade-in pics for Tesla, lol, but I LOVED the matte gray look.

    S3XY buttons at Abstract Ocean

    Hey All. @dimitar.ns has had his account locked for commercial activity, although he reached out to @danny a couple of weeks ago to try to get set up as a vendor. It looks like Danny hasn't been online in a while, @doug is this something you can help with, or one of the other mods? We're trying...

    S3XY buttons at Abstract Ocean

    Hello all. I just wanted to introduce @dimitar.ns , he's the founder & CEO of Enhance, so designed and manufactured the S3XY buttons, and is constantly working on the development roadmap based on feedback in threads like this. As always, if there's any specific support issues, please still...

    Blog Boring Company Opens Vegas Loop

    South was open, but just for media. The cars were running there, but obviously, the vast majority were going between West & Central. We rode it 3 times, twice in a Y, once in an X (which were prioritized for ADA).We never had a wait. For what it is, it works well. Many conversations overheard...

    Trunk Lighting Upgrade

    There's really no consistency with where Tesla ties up the wires, but the charge-port side tends to be the side that's trickier to find.

    Pictures of purple led footwells?

    The fronts are easy, they're just a like-for-like replacement of the factory bulbs. Getting the bulb out of the hard plastic trim can be a bit of a fight, depending if Tesla installed it the correct way around, so that the little recessed bit where you poke the spudger/screwdriver under is...

    Abstract ocean review

    Yes, I found the support ticket. The screen protector was returned, used, together with the used screen wipes. Regardless, we offered a free replacement, or a 50% store credit, since the screen protector is used, and cannot be repurposed. The nature of this product is that sometimes, someone...

    Abstract ocean review

    Hi @beaudamore, as I mentioned in the other thread you messaged, this is not a typical experience. We have 1000's of very happy screen protector customers, please PM your order number so we can look into this.

    Black "T" Emblems

    That's simply not the case, at least for us. Everything we sell is manufactured for us, to our specs, and sold under our brand. Obviously, some of the products appear to be similar, but the devil is always in the detail.

    Notes on Four Aftermarket LED Interior Lights

    Thanks for the great notes @tps5352 The only other things I'd add is to note which certifications each of the lights have. I can't talk to the other brands, but it can make a difference when it comes to longevity of course, but also in terms of brightness, as anything like this has to manage...

    2021 Center Console (Gen2) Wrap Questions

    There's still plenty of space, no issues with rubbing, even for the thicker vinyls. Not enough room for an ABS (shell) cover though, or carbon fiber. Also messing around with some printed designs; they're more fiddly to fit since they don't have the air-release channels that the 2080 vinyl has...

    Abstract Ocean - Cease & Desist From Tesla - Litigation Sale

    Ha! I had a Crapi Capri (in Essex), but didn't have the sun shade. Did have the bag of cement in the boot to 'help' with 'handling'.

    Abstract Ocean - Cease & Desist From Tesla - Litigation Sale

    Not really. We laser-etch the glass at 1000dpi, which is necessary to get a nice, crisp projection. So even if someone had a laser-etcher at home, it wouldn't get close to the required resolution, I think most home version run in the 150-300dpi range (?). It's really fiddly too, we spit them out...

    Abstract Ocean - Cease & Desist From Tesla - Litigation Sale

    Hi all, thought I'd chime in. There's no update really, other than Tesla have so far been entirely closed to the idea of any form of licencing agreement, that we'd very happily take up. Not surprising, and so far we've not been able to get Elon's attention via various channels, including...

    FYI - Managing Power during an Outage

    thanks @gpez will do. I have the Soalr company out next month to give it all a once-over, and price out another PW and a few more panels.

    FYI - Managing Power during an Outage

    We were out of power for about 40hrs in total, in 3 chunks. The panels & single Powewall helped us limp through, but I'll be adding another PW to help support more circuits, including the pool, which stopped at 3 in the morning, so we've sustained at least $2k of damage there (equipment), if the...

    Solar Panels on a Flat Roof

    Nice! This was the email I got from Tesla about installing on my flat roof in Texas (they won't), but it looks like you're in a state where they have more options. This is what (and where) they'll install on: Composite Shingle Concrete Tile Standing Seam Metal Rolled Asphalt (Only available in...

    Tesla Performance Emblem (Abstract Ocean)

    There's quite a few customer-submitted photos in the reviews at the bottom of the webpage, I think this one is red on grey, but it's fairly close-up, and could be a black with a satin PPF. IF you want to sit on the fence, this is the matte black with the red edging on my MSM M3, but it does...

    Finally, Model Y Added to Tesla Shop

    Thanks @LivingTesla for the heads-up on this. Unfortunately this would probably over-step the line in the sand we’ve drawn with Tesla (in our heads, not officially!). We don’t manufacture anything that they already sell, unless we got their first, so although we could easily undercut their...

    2021 Model 3 and differences from 2020

    Am I the only one bothered by the mis-matched struts on the Model 3 Trunk? I know only one is powered, and the same is true on S & Y, but at least they look the same. Also, the trunk beep on Model Y might be the nicest automotive beep I've ever known. The Model 3 beep seems more shrill and...

    Abstract ocean - standard delivery time to UK

    yeah, that means it's in New York waiting to move to airside. The backlogs at the hubs are country-specific, so something to the UK might take a couple of weeks to clear, whereas to Italy just a couple of days, so overall it's relatively unpredictable, as to that they sort on size, so small...

    Abstract ocean - standard delivery time to UK

    I can chime in here :-) DHL (we also offer UPS, but DHL is nearly always cheaper and better, plus we discount the rate by 25%) is by far the most reliable option, but much more chance of getting dinged with duty/tax. We do what we can to minimise it (), but since all the customs info is sent...
