    Tow hitches with Model 3 [discussion]

    Painted "Black Bubble" front bumper of a 2016 or older Tesla Model S

    Has anyone ever Painted the "Black Bubble" front end bumper of a 2016 or older Tesla Model S the same color as the car? I want to do this but don't know where to go in Chicago or if it is something Tesla would support. Will it hurt any of the car's functionality?

    "Unable to Drive" Remove charge cable ERROR

    The port seemed clean. I didnt lift my weight off the seat so that isn't it. It gives the error message that my charger is still connected so it disables drive and puts it into park.
