    Almost made the mistake of buy a OEM replacement part on eBay

    I learned a lesson to never buy a Tesla part without checking with Tesla first. I wanted to replace the trim cover on the door of my trunk. I looked on eBay and found them listed for around $80 for used ones. $80 did not seem unreasonable as it is a pretty large part with multiple clips and...

    AC odor removal and cleaning

    I did mine myself also. Purchased the filters on amazon, and used sprayed in the cleaner. When I had done by Tesla last year they showed me they use the same exact cleaner. It basically is one screw and the rest are clips...

    Anyone have any idea what this Model X is?

    I saw this Model X parked yesterday at the San Antonio Service Center. It has barcodes over some of the wheels with " Acuna Proving Grounds", velcro patches over some of the other wheel arches, and one of the ugliest front grills. Inside looked stock from what I could see. Anyone seen...

    Looking for advice on best power lift trunk kit

    I purchased the Hanshow, but sold it prior to installation after I started hearing customer service issues. I then purchased two Teslaoffer power trunk units, and have had the opportunity to verify real world that they have exceptional after sales customer support.

    Coming from prior BMWs I still think that is an amazing price for the dash with the attached trim.

    Swapping white dash for wood dash. Anyone interested?

    It is really simple to install. I am sure you can pull up videos on YouTube. It is held in with clips. It sounds terrible when you pull it up, but it is just the clips disengaging. I have been a Tesla owner since 2014 and one trend I don't see spoken about much is that the prices of parts...

    Swapping white dash for wood dash. Anyone interested?

    You may want to check on the price of the dash directly from Tesla. I purchased a spare wood one to put carbon fiber on and was surprised how much it was. Can't recall exactly, but think it was in the the 1 to 2 hundred range.
