I had my 2020 S chrome trim wrapped to satin black and it came out good.

My newer S

Here are some photos of my S after I added a few things. Had chrome blacked out, windows tinted to 25, red emblem, aftermarket wheels, red brakes and trunk spoiler.

Talked to tech and he found after checking car that the MCU needs replacement. So now have to bring car in for that to be replaced. I’m starting to wonder about this car a 2020 with only 24K miles and so far front drive unit and half shafts replaced and now the computer.

Ya Service Center so far has not figured out what symbol is.

Not sure what that crazy symbol is. Lol

Had half shafts and front drive unit replaced on my 2020 S LR with 24K miles. First two days home from SC car was fine then the third day had blank screen and this dash symbol. Did scroll wheel reset and that cleared it and got screen back. Next morning same problem cleared again and all good...

I had this happen on my 2018 model s and they changed them with their claim that they are upgraded and will hold up. Well no way for me to know because I sold the car 1 year later and they were fine then but didn’t put a lot of miles on it. I purchased my current 2020 model s in December with...

Been driving For a few days now and car driving great, but really surprised at drive unit going out at 24K miles.

Finally got my car back with new drive unit. Seems strange that the drive unit would go out at 24k miles, I thought it was just the half shafts but much bigger problem. According to SC they rarely have to replace the drive unit, sure hope it was just a fluke.

I can’t understand Tesla not being able to make halfshafts that last. I purchased a 2018 model S a couple years ago with 32K miles and it needed them changed. The SC replaced them under warranty and said that they were replaced with an upgraded shafts. I only kept the car for a year after the...

This is my last Tesla that was blacked out. It does have the red T and red brakes, my new one is about done the same just need to install spoiler.

Looks good!

Some of these colors are nice looking and unique. But to me a blacked out Model S is the nicest lookin. The first photo is my new car and 2nd photo is my last tesla that I sold. My new one will have the red brakes and rear spoiler soon.

Is there a way to have the rear wheel turn by hand while car is jacked up? I’ve heard that if you put it in neutral the parking brake will still engage. I’m painting my brake calipers and I also paint the hub of the rotors which would be much easier if I could turn the wheel freely.
