I backed into my garage and scraped the garage door support, giving the damage described in the title. I took it to an non-tesla Paintless Dent Repair facility and got an estimate for about $1200 to do the job. They even said if they can't get it perfect, they would be willing to charge less...

2023 S LR, on 2024.8.7. No go on being available. Wife's Y on 2024.3.10 has had for over 2 weeks. Reading the release notes on the software for my car doesn't show 12.x, but for hers it does. Prior, I wrongly assumed I had it since she did (I'm dumb I guess), so I went into control-self...

Lower each seat. Take black electrical tape and wrap each latch with several layers of tape, in continuous loop if you can. I did maybe 5 or more layers. More the better to a point. Too much makes closing difficult. This fixed mine and I was never sure where the rattle was coming from. But...

Yes, used the rubber type knobs above the object in the posted picture. I was able to allow the trunk to close a tad more, but still not enough to align the tail lights on trunk and body perfectly. I had service look and they made adjustment at the attach points, but still not quite enough. I’m...

Late to the party, but I have a 2023 LRMS that has the issue of the hatch lights not aligning with the body tail lights looking across/level; trunk is about 1/8 to 1/4" too high (not closing enough into the body?). I turned the 2 rubber plugs that are about 2/3 down on the body on each side of...

Getting very hard, sudden braking when on cruise, right lane of two way, divided highway, and a car either is coming UP a ramp to merge, OR, car in front of me takes an off ramp (and not following too close; car is using cruise). Car brakes from 70mph or there about, down to 40 or so in less...

I know there's been some threads near or dear to this issue, but my question is what exactly, or more accurately, where do you put some form of cloth/foam/tape wedged in to stop the rattle? I have confirmed that it only exists when the seat is up and locked (wife sat there and confirmed where...

I have over the past couple of weeks been getting the BMS_a174 errors raised after the car stops charging (interrupted) when connected to a Gen1 wall charger of about 7 years old. I have found that it seems to continue to allow charging if I reduce the rate from 40A to 35A. Charging at...

In tinkering with hopes of somehow allowing my trunk to close a bit further into the car body to better align with tails lights, I found these. Both plastic caps come off with a decent amount of twist effort. I thought they were to adjust the amount of trunk surface that would lower into the...

I was too run off the road from someone merging into me, and I never found the horn in time either. Luckily no one was in the other lane that I had to start my bail into to my escape. I'm ravenous to find a solution.

I figured it was probably going to get down to replacing it. Thanks for the feedback.

My passenger door handle has randomly, and sort of infrequently, (seemingly from day 1) refused to allow the door to be opened when pulled on. Sometimes, a harder than normal tug seems to allow its opening. Other times it's simply not going to open. It always presents the handle properly, but...

I'm looking for a preferably, soft material car cover for my MS/2023. I want custom fitted as the one size fits all types have always seemd a poor fit in previous cars. I have googled and found a gamut of offerings, but they range from obviously too cheap, to more than I think is necessary...

Yes, of course I realize that. But I'm going to bet they didn't mean that, and were trying to inject a little humor in a world that amazingly has little or tolerates such, these days. If by chance they really meant motor lubrication, I'd take a pass.

Yes, this is real, and was not photo-shopped. I want to take them up on it. But truth is I need tires for an ICE car, so when I make the appointment I'm going to see they can do both. LOL
