DIY Power Lift gate for Tesla Model S Walkthrough Video
- Thread starter BigTonyTones
- Start date
I got mine installed. Had an issue or two, but got it done. My controller didn't come with a screw so I had to find one to fit. My controller also didn't have sticky tape on the back like mentioned in the video. My set didn't come with the obd connector or any installation instructions, but I didn't need it. Thanks again for putting this together. I might have missed it, but I didn't see how to Install new door switch, but I figured something out by drilling a 1/2" hole for it.
I told the seller about the obd connector and how its not needed. Im assuming that is why it didnt come with one.
I had forgotten to mention the door switch. My kit came with a drill bit to make the hole. Make sure you put it on the bottom of the handle you pop out. I put mine on the top and there is no clearance to pop it back in. I had to make another hole on the bottom in order to get it to fit.
Thanks, I installed in the "don't" location. Too bad I didn't see this first. Lol
I didnt realize it until much later after I made the video. I am sorry for that. I bought some plastic hole covers to cover them up 50 Piece Flush Mount Black Hole Plug Assortment for Auto Body and Sheet Metal - - Amazon.com
Quick couple of questions: What happens when you try to open trunk manually? Does power lift gate kicks in, or do you have to open it by hands all the way up? Does the open/close sound comes from the car or from the controller? Can it be turned off?
Also, anyone knows what Tesla thinks about those DIY upgrades? Can they say that since you tapped into electrical system, any electrical issue is not going to be covered by the warranty?

1. The lift gate kicks in automatically.
2. The sound comes from the control box. It cant be turned off

The manufacturer is selling them again on their website ($399 + $69 shipping to California). I ordered one on Friday and it arrived today (Tuesday). I'm impressed by the fast shipping.
The kit has a QR code which brings you to this website for instructions (but in Chinese, and it tabs power from the frunk):

I'll probably follow BigTonyTones's instructions, once I get my car back from service.
You should cancel your order and get it direct. I ordered direct on Tuesday and it is being delivered tomorrow (coming from Hong Kong). 5 week wait is insane

i checked the label on the module, looks like blue is left and gray is right (in case someone receives two labeled left)... install was definitely straight-forward. I didn't drill the hole for the switch yet because there actually seems to be more space for the switch on the top part of the handle (vs the bottom of the handle per the instructions here). Is there an issue with mounting the switch to the top part of the handle?
