Noob member - seeking advice for sourcing a few interior replacement parts from the UK

[Mincentatties]

Hi, I've just bought my first Tesla - a used 2018 Model S 100D and I love the whole Tesla new driver experience.

At the dealer, I discovered an issue with the rear left door speaker so they knocked some money off the price for a replacement. Upon further investigation, I find that the speaker has been removed! Additionally, the door card is clipped back onto the door only - the three securing bolts behind the interior latch and handle are missing, along with their plastic and rubber covers.

Of course, I'd like to replace all these items. I have used the online parts diagrams to figure out all the part numbers and I sent an email with these to my nearest Tesla service centre (Guildford) a few days ago, but I haven't had any response yet.

These are cheap, non-critical parts. Am I naïve to expect the Tesla service centre to respond and to help me source these? If so, what other options are available to UK Tesla drivers - is there a good, reliable website anyone can recommend to source them more quickly overseas?

Maybe I'd be better to look for a UK breaker's yard with a totalled Model S that I can strip? Any recommendations?

Experienced advice appreciated,
M.

In USA, the best method to order parts, because Tesla never wants to speak with a human, is to order parts through the App. Go to Service, and create a service ticket specifying Parts Only. Listing the part numbers and descriptions makes it easy for them. They should send you an estimate for you to approve. Some Tesla service locations require you to go into the store to order and pick up parts -- just because.
