The front camera kit is now available for preorder on the marketplace.

thanks drtko147! Who's planning on getting one?

If you guys haven't been following the thread on the lighted T, there is a way to have it come on with the DRL and the headlights. I plan to do this modification when I get my MS back.

WeazL · Mar 24, 2014

That's how I'm going to set mine up as well.

I believe this is the link Dr. T is referring to (upon loading, it should auto-jump to the DRL section):

For those waiting for the forward mounted camera and have a non standard license plate, like me. I was thinking about changing my plate mounting method.
I found a no-drill bracket at the Torklift Central web site (the ones who make the MS trailer hitch) that might serve as a suitable base for the camera

has anyone else here in Hawaii seen this in person? if so, would it be a good base for the camera?

Sorry, don't meant to hijack this thread, but just wanted to mention that if any of you are interested/waiting for the official center console insert, Luke mentioned yesterday that he heard there were problems with the initial production set and the new ETA is sometime in May. There are about 4,500 on the waitlist apparently.

My Tessie Too has been so nice lately that I bought her a new Frunk mat that is a perfect fit.
Got it from Jerry Jones at ForMyTesla.com

PM or email me if you want more info or see it. Happy to show it to you.

I'm looking for a few of the Hawaii members to beta test an auto-lift kit that I've developed for the parcel shelf. New post in the Hawaii private forum with details.

Thanks for the offer. I have designed one for myself. It works great.

drtko147 · Apr 16, 2014

I posted my success in installing the lighted T hook up to both the DRL and headlights. If anyone wants help, let me know.

WeazL · Apr 20, 2014

Thanks to those who volunteered to test out the auto-lift kits for the parcel shelf--I have enough volunteers now. The feedback has been helpful in refining the final product. I think it's close to perfect now. Maybe a minor tweak or two and I'll begin offering them on the forum and web.

WeazL, looks good. Please make sure it goes in the right section of TMC but also note that Tesla has been enforcing copyright of their logo/trademarks.

Akikiki · Apr 22, 2014

Looks like TM is shipping the replacement 14-50 adapters for our UMCs now. Got mine today.
Comes via FedEx with return label for the old one. Or we can drop the old one off at the SC. Think I will wait until the 3 May meet to drop my old one off at the SC versus their expense of sending it back via FedEx.

I appreciate that TM wants the best experience for us always and provides this sort of replacements without
a complaint or adverse action on our part. TM service is simply the BEST !!

After much thought, I decided to blackout part of my MS

. I've been tinkering with the idea for a while now, and settled on only blacking out the rear chrome strip so that I could highlight the Tesla name more (chrome lettering on a chrome strip was not the best design IMHO).

The first attempt ended with a drip during the final (3rd) coat :scared:, so I had to strip it off and re-do it again :crying:. I am pleased with the results on the second attempt, which is one thick coat. The letters are red vinyl, from Roger on the forum.
