Where is everyone getting their wheel touch up paint. I know Im not the only husband who has a wife who can’t drive through parking lots without kissing curbs. It’s a 2023 with stock 18 inch wheels.

I bought a Gen 3 wall charger and have been having issues with the LED's. They would do this crazy flicker flash dance like Kevin Bacon in footloose. Completely not normal LED patterns. I would also come out in the morning and the lights would be completely OFF. However the charger would...

This morning I woke up to find that my gen 3 wall charger had all solid green lights with one blue light in the middle lit up. The charger was not plugged in to my model 3. I flipped the breaker and shut it down. When I turned it back on Im getting the pulsing green light. What going on with...

With all of the tax credits/incentives I'm looking into a M3 standard range base. I had a model s a few years ago so I am familiar with the overall idea of Tesla. This will replace my wife's Ford Explorer (she no longer needs a SUV). However, her lease is not up until the end of Oct. I dont...

Looking for opinions on the status of my 2014 MS85. About 62000 miles on it. Tried getting to 100% but ran out of time before having to leave for dinner. My last attempts, several months ago, to charge to 100% car said charging complete at 98% and would not go any further. My volts on my packs...

I have a set of silver arachnids wheels with Gen 2 tpms sensors. Wheels have under 1k miles on them. No damage or rash. I’ll ship I you want to handle the cost and have them picked up from my house. Located in NJ 08053. $2,000

I have 4 new TPMS sensors. These are the Baolong sensors in 433mhz. These are for the TPMS system that does NOT give you PSI on your display. They were incorrectly installed on arachnid wheels apparently by a Tesla. $80

So I’m already getting sick of the 21 inch wheel squeak / screech when stopping. Apparently Tesla said this is normal due to infrequent use of the brakes. Now I’m on a mission to mitigate this awful embarrassing noise. Does anyone have recommendations for brake pads? Should i try ceramic or...

I installed arachnids on my 2014 MS85 and I’m getting a TPMS fault error message. I can confirm that my car has the new TPMS system required for the continental sensors. I can confirm that the arachnids have working continental sensors. When I reset the MCU to the new wheels the screen...

Does anyone know which tool, specifically is needed to re-learn TPMS sensors. I have a 2014 and just put on some arachnids that I bought from a forum member and I'm getting the TPMS system fault message even after trying to reset TPMS in the MCU. They sat for a while and they may need to be...

So I have an appointment scheduled with my SC regarding my MCU lagging and needing frequent reboots (usually at least once a week). While I understand that this is not the worst MCU can be, I would really like the EMMC daughterboard replaced under warranty before my warranty runs out, and...

This is something that has bugged me for a while... is there any way to make it so when you turn on cabin pre-heat or cool, from the phone app to NOT default to defrost the windshield? I'd like the air or heat to come out of the main vents. I've seen it come from the feet and the defrost but...

I have a 2014 MS85 with about 58k miles. I have free unlimited supercharging and have access to superchargers within a mile of my house. I charge about once a week at the superchargers from 30%-40% to about 80%-90%. I used to be nervous about burning out my battery too quickly but recently...

My driver side window switches are bubbling and peeling and it annoys me to look at it. I know its not a big deal but I cant stand it. I still have my 2 year bumper to bumper from when I bought it used. Do you think Tesla will cover a replacement or should I just source a used part from Ebay?

I have no idea where this “welts” came from. They are raised and are not liquid. I can’t clean them off. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Plugged in at 14% at 1:10pm, need to get to 100% to balance battery and I’m still here at 3:10pm. Really?!?!?!

Im looking to buy the hardware to upgrade my 2014 Model is from 3G to LTE. Need PCBA GPS unit and sim card. Thanks.

Anyone ever have an issue with their car not charging past a certain percentage. I cant say wether or not its related to my most current FW (40.2.3) or if its something else. I very rarely charge passed 90% but due to a recent trip she wont go past 96%. This was duplicated this morning after...

I had my sunroof gasket/seal replaced a few weeks ago due to a leak, and ever since the my panoramic roof has been creaking like crazy. The creaking noise goes away when I vent / open the room. Ive tried bending the metal tab down, putting felt tape on the metal tab (a little and ALOT)...

Is there a clear tutorial or how-to regarding the removal of the MCU? They only thing I can find is the guy doing it in light speed on youtube. There has to be a more user friend version of this somewhere... I just cant find it.

Lately I feel like I just can’t win when it comes to Tesla. I took my model s into my local service center for a new windshield. I couldn’t pick the car up until after hours so they left it in the parking lot. On my drive home I notice a pretty big dent in my MCU bezel. I immediately take a...

So my 2 most recent supercharging sessions ended with the "vehicle needs service, car may not restart" message. This only happens after a supercharge... anyone experience this? I'm not convinced its my 12v battery since it only happens after supercharging.

After all of the updates pushed by Tesla that restrict our batteries Is charging to 100% really charging to 100%? And if not what’s the harm in charging to 100% regularly. Just a thought...

I have a 2014 MS85 and I get just a bit over 50kw during regen. Anyone het higher or lower?

Has anyone done the LTE upgrade on their own? I'm still on 3G and I'm curious about upgrading to LTE, but $500 for a sim card replacement seems a bit high for the job.

Im considering letting my 2014 Model S 85KWH go. It has 53,XXX miles on, November 2014 build. Bumper to bumper Tesla warranty until March 2021. Battery and Drive unit warranty until November 2022. The car has every available option except for air suspension (I did not want to deal with those...

I purchased a used 2014 model s a few months ago that came with 2 year 100,000 mile used vehicle warranty. My account now says 4 year or 50,000 mile warranty. Anyone have this change in their account. Also have the change in wording about free supercharging for life of vehicle. Now just says...

Are cornering lights supposed to light up when the car is in reverse? I just had my fog lights activated after I installed them myself and now I'm noticing that my passenger side cornering light is lighting up when in reverse and my driver side isnt working at all. Im assuming the driver side...

So I'm in the process of upgrading my tech package non fog lights to have foglights. I bought the driver side and installed it, the amber lights and LED tube thing light up, but the cornering light does not work. Would you consider this normal with the swap to a whole new fog light unit?

How do you know if your model s is is wired for foglights? I want to add them to my 2014 model s. My build date is November of December 2014 (cant remember). It has the tech package, premium sound, premium interior lighting... almost every option but fog lights. I grew up in the 90's and...

I ordered some used fog lights off of ebay because my 2014 tech package has everything but fog lights... cant figure that one out. Does anyone have an invoice regarding the software update that their service center performed to add the fog light option? I have a feeling that my local service...

I would love to upgrade my 2014 3g to LTE. Has anyone done this on their own after buying all the necessary parts from Tesla? How does the new sim card get activated? I'm not afraid of taking apart the dash and figuring that all out, just wondering if anyone has had success doing this. Thanks.

I'll make this short to keep your attention. Purchased 2014 MS 85kwh in March with chipped up windshield. Spent hours on phone because this damage was not depicted before sale. FINALLY I was told "over the phone" that a due bill was issued for windshield. Tesla even ordered it for me...

My 2014 MS has had this issue since I purchased it used from Tesla. When you open the door, the window doesnt go down fast enough before it clips the door frame. I creates a clicking noise every time the door is opened. I currently have a loaner and the window seems to go down much faster...

Who out there is using cabin overheat protection? I was talking with service rep who recommended turning it off to get batter battery life. I don’t mind getting in a warm car, but I don’t want my original 2014 MCU screen to start oozing glue. My 2014 MS 85kwh has no bubbles in screen, no...

So, today (96 degrees fahrenheit), my air conditioning stopped working. I used the Tesla App to turn on my air conditioning as I was walking out of work. When I was approaching the car I could hear the AC compressor running. When I got in the car and started to drive I noticed that the air...

I found a set of fog lights on eBay for my 2014 MS, with the actual fog lights, not the plugs. I just noticed that one is from a 2013 and one is from a 2015. Is there a difference is these two lights? I obviously don’t want a color or brightness difference on the two sides of my car. I’m...

Anyone know of or how to replace the charge port door on a 2014 MS? Can't find any write ups or videos.

Im in the market for driver and passenger side fog lights to replace my non-fog lights. Please private message me. Thanks.

my charge port door reflector is cracked. Can this be replaced or does the whole assembly need to be replaced?

Just bought a used (2014) model s, 2 weeks ago. I was assured, by my sales adviser (John Pier - avoid him) that any issue not documented in the pictures would be taken care of by Tesla. So... I took delivery of the car. It is in pretty good shape, and didnt notice anything, at the time of...

This morning I woke up and realized that I plugged my mobile connector into my charge port, last night, and never plugged it into my wall. This morning I woke up and plugged into the wall and drove my truck to work. I am now seeing my car is only charging at 8 amps on my 240v outlet. I had my...

One of the "coolest" features of my 2014 MS is the panoramic sunroof. But I'm so reluctant to open, around people, because it squeaks and squeals and chatters as it opens and closes. Who has fixed this issue?

Bit of a strange question, but curious to see how this will play out. I picked up my model s on Friday and a portion of my payment to Tesla was with a personal check. I won't bore you with my excuses, but the transfer from my savings to my checking never went through, so the check bounced and...

Has anyone swapped out the older style model S steering wheel with a new one? What I mean is... the newer ones seem to be made of a different material. I have a 2014 and the material is kind of shiny and slippery. I look the look and feel of the newer ones that are more of a matte finish...

How often do you charge? I have an 85kwh battery and only drive about 20 miles a day. Is it bad for the battery if I only charge once or twice a week? I charge to about 90%.

So I just took delivery of my 2014 MS with AP1. On the ride home it seemed that I could pretty much set autopilot to whatever speed I wanted (65mph highway). But now, AP1 is limiting me to only 5mph above the posted speed. Did I accidentally mess up the settings or is this normal?

Is the gen 2 mobile charger waterproof? Long story short, I"m going to need an extension cord to get my MS charged overnight on the 14-50 outlet. With an extension cord, the mobile connector will be exposed to the elements in the area of my driveway.

Is it required to have a full voicemail box to be a Tesla employee. So annoying... I just want to get an update on my car delivery status. Rant
