New "wraparound" dash door panels for the US Model Y's - retrofit to existing cars?

[blinkme323]

So do we need to order entirely new door panels? Or are they modular and we can swap out the top portion for a new one with the wraparound trim?

I'm pretty sure that you would need a whole new door card.

Any update on this? I think a number of us are really interested in this swap.

Same. I’m about to place an order for the parts based on the post which says they are easily retrofittable. Wood for black interior less the bolts as can re use existing.

Can anyone confirm its an actual fit? It’s a non refundable order

Following. Interested in the results and total cost once one of you daring fellows takes the plunge!

Has anyone tried booking a service appointment for this? I asked through the chat a few weeks ago and they said that a mobile tech could do the swap (for a price of course).

I’m confirming my order shortly and will also ask how much for their tech to do this at the SC.

In Toronto we have a few former techs that branched out and do Tesla aftermarket upgrades and oem repairs. I’m sure their shop rate is way less.

will post here when parts arrive

Ok here’s the invoice I received in Canadian $…
So divide by 1.35 for US estimate.
Also…note labour is $63 total for both doors!
And yes our tax in Ontario is bloody 15%

That is disappointingly expensive.

For 2 door panels and labour? Seems
Pretty fair

I've placed my parts order (through the app) as well. I was contacted this morning by the Service Center saying that the parts are coming from a distribution center in Chicago and are due in late this week.

I ordered just the upgraded door panels and the bolt hole covers (so I would have spares in case I broke any). For the accent trim, I'm going with the matte real carbon fiber series inserts from Hansshow, as it will match my wheel and dash trim.

I'll be sure ro post some pics once I have the parts in hand and of the process as I go and the finished result.

Agreed - for the time and effort, that seems fair to me as well..

Update (since I cannot edit my prior post)... my parts ETA is now Nov. 1st. Cost on each door panel is $275, so here in KY, that would put me at $583 after taxes.

You did order the wood insert pieces as well no? It’s not just the door panel. The wood/trim insert is a completely separate piece.

The 275 USD makes sense vs my $350 Canadian for the door trim. (26-27% exch rate) But that does not include the actual insert pieces which you will need.

I did not order the wood insert pieces as I'm going with the "Real Carbon Fiber" inserts from Hansshow. I've installed one of their steering wheels along with their carbon fiber dash pad/insert and this is the final piece I need to get the interior looking the way I want it.

Update to the thread... my door panels finally arrived at my local Tesla SC and I picked them up yesterday! I'm aiming to do the install this next week and will report back with finished pictures once I'm done!

Here's how they were packed/wrapped and handed over to me...

And I was happy to see that they did indeed ship me the proper door panels!

For what it's worth, I had to have a door card replaced on our 2-week-old 2020 and the Mobile Tech took less than 15 minutes from start to finish and used NO TOOLS, just his hands. They popped off, disconnected some wires, reconnected the wires, and popped the new one in place. I was amazed.

Oh and the new one didn't have the red reflector so he had to transfer that.
