Any 3rd part screen swivel kits for the Refresh S?

[welcomewagon]

Wondering if anyone has seen a screen swivel kit for the new refresh Model S, similar to what’s been produced for the 3/Y. I know it was originally supposed to swivel OEM, but not sure if the mechanism is there or if it’s possible to swivel it via a 3rd party part or kit.

Would really like to angle it more towards the driver side.

Tesla finally adds screen tilt feature to Model S [Video]

When Tesla first announced the refresh Model S and Model X, the Design Studio noted the cars would come with an all-new 17-inch center display with a “left-right tilt” feature. A few months later, and […]

S/X Palladium Motorized Screen Tilt Kit

Very early first pass of powered tilt. Final gears will be smoother and quieter. I'm about halfway through creating a kit for those of us who wish to retrofit tilting capabilities to our Palladium S's and X's. This is a result of an intense hunt for motors matching the complete mechanism, and...

Or Tesla OEM if they retrofit like @Derrickd5 provided.

The hardware has been in the refresh for at least months. Munroe Live disassembled one months ago. The only thing missing were the two electric motors to drive the assembly. Hopefully this is a simple retrofit.

I would assume it’s an easy retrofit or install. I can’t really see them redesigning they dash areA, but could entirely be wrong. Redesigning it will not be a cost savings I’m presume.

Local service thinks retrofits will be out soon, unsure if it will cost money or not yet.

What gave you that indication? Just curious. Few times I ran it by service center, they were pretty mum on it. Which translates to me assuming they know absolutely nothing.

Do you know if it is possible to manually adjust and lock into position facing the driver? Has anyone tried this yet?

Yes. It works quite well. I'm messing with it tomorrow again to see if I can adjust the clamping force of the bolts by adding various nylon or plastic washers and removing the gears so the screen can be moved by hand yet stays in place enough to be usable.

Model S manually tilted screen - fixed

I've just finished tilting the screen on my 2021 MS longrange manually. A few pictures are attached and when I have more time I'll write up some step by step directions how do go about this. It took me about two hours to figure this out but I guess it would only take about 45 minutes now to...

So you were able to figure out why it wouldn’t go back all the way?

Not yet. But I did notice that the tilt angle is quite a bit more than what the motorized version allows. About a couple of inches extra on the far sidebar. The shroud actually does not cover the gap behind the screen and you can see a part of the mounting hardware. I like the way it tilts that far. I'll still take it back apart, just haven't had time as I had to patch up the car my daughter t-boned someone with...It's done now, so maybe I'll find time this weekend to dig into that binding issue.

If you do figure it out please update. I hope your daughter is okay.
