How did you install it?? I just bought one, but it's going to destroy my arm rest if I push it in place!!- it's too long for the space-
I purchased one of these, and I too felt it was to big, and I would damage my arm rest getting it in. All the Taptes video shows them just sliding it in, but I believe it was before Tesla added the bottom shelf. What I read on line, and found what worked for me was (and Yes you will have to work up the courage to try this) you have to use more force than you think is possible to push it down past the arm rest. I put a towel between the armrest and the console (read that on line too) to help prevent damage. I found it awkward and still couldn't get it in, so I approached the console from the back seat. Pushed down with steady pressure, first enough to get past the top of the arm rest, then past the rest of the way and it fell in to play easily after that! POPPED on the sides and it looks like it belongs there. As for quality and longevity I can not speak of this yet. I Googled installed and read other peoples post and steady pressure is what you need. NOW take this as advise and do what you will with it. Good luck.
Just a-line the connectors, either from front or back and work one at a time, should just pop on like on their video. Once you force the console into place, the rest of installation was like the video.
Haven't tried this one, but are you installing it from the passenger side? I bought a used 1st gen for my 2013, feared damaging the armrest. I then tried is from the passenger side and it worked - even with the thickness of the terry cloth towel I used to protect the armrest.
Gosh, have you ever tried to contact taptes? It's a very expensive product! You need to let them know.
