I am hoping tesla does thiis right to the people who already took delivery of the refresh, By giving us an option to retrofit the motors so we can have the screen tilt function.

I think this is one retrofit, that will actually happen.
As a long time Tesla owner I can unequiovcally state that Tesla doesn't give two craps about you after you have already bought your car and add a +1 to their quarterly sales figures. I cannot recall a single time that Tesla has retrofitted anything of that magnitude after delivery without the government making them do it.
You mean other than things like the HEPA filter, LTE, and MCU2? The government didn't make them do any of those retrofits.

Its definitely cool and if they actually do retrofit my car, I will then electrically position it to exactly where I have manually tilted it to and will be happy

In the video posted it appears it has 3 settings all left, all right and center.... It doesn't appear to have an in between / partial swivel option....Its definitely cool and if they actually do retrofit my car, I will then electrically position it to exactly where I have manually tilted it to and will be happy
Could be wrong though.

I will demand it be installed and then leave it in the optimum center position as it makes it no easier to see or use when tilted.Its definitely cool and if they actually do retrofit my car, I will then electrically position it to exactly where I have manually tilted it to and will be happy
Well there was 1 time when Tesla offered a no cost retrofit... the titanium battery shield in 2014. Other than that, most other upgrades cost $$ (which is fine) and several are intended to head off pending issues. The MCU2 upgrade in particular I think was a bit disingenuous, given pre-recall it provided an avenue for owners to fix the eMMC problem at a substantial cost.

Now praying there will be a retrofit option from tesla, otherwise still following this thread.
Just wait a month or two for the parts to show up on EPC first. I didn't see anything in the wiring diagram for the Feb 2022+ vehicles that contains information about plugs for the motors. I don't know if a retrofit will be possible.

My 3/2022 build has these 4 open connectors behind the screen (left one is hidden and its a 3-wire purple,green,black). Does anyone know what they are for? Perhaps they are for the missing ambient strip lights or perhaps for the screen tilt controller/motors?
Also, for those folks doing a manual tilt. Future adjustments will be easier if you remove the acme screw assembly (just unbolt the plate and unscrew it). You won't need to use a drill to adjust and only need to loosen the two bottom torx screws to move the screen. Those two screws can be reached from underneath without removing the screen.
I'm going to experiment with felt tape between the metal surfaces see if its possible to maintain enough friction for manual adjustment

Great tips as that is ideally what I would want is a screen I can manually pull and push to where I want it.
Instead of felt, perhaps some spring washers or delrin or nylon spacers that you can torque down slightly on but allow movement.
I am betting those connectors are for the missing motors.

Hopefully someone who actually has it and reading this thread will eventually post a photo.
