    Plaid 21” rear tire woes - factory defect?

    I want to get camber and toe arms but they are super expensive for what they are. I'd still get them to save my tires but I am also worried about needing suspension work and Tesla blaming it on my camber arms / refusing to work on it. I read in one thread they told a guy they would reinstall...

    Model S Plaid 19" vs 21" rear inner tire wear question.

    Yeah that is weird. I have my car set to only go low above 60 but most of my miles are on the highway. No suspension mods.

    Plaid 21” rear tire woes - factory defect?

    Yes. Any S with 21s from what I've seen. I sized down to 20s to help but went with a wider wheel (10.5) which apparently cancelled out the helpful effect of a fatter/more flexible tire, because the wider tire is still concentrated on that one spot... which is worse because it's even farther away...

    Plaid 21” rear tire woes - factory defect?

    My S is not a plaid but I have the same issue. I switched tire brands to BFG last time and it does not appear to be Michelin related. I down sized to 20"s to help some but it had the opposite effect because they are 10.5" wide with wider tires, which I think exacerbated the alignment issues by...

    Model S Plaid 19" vs 21" rear inner tire wear question.

    Here's what mine look like on both sides with 285/35s on 20" x 10.5" in the back

    Model S Plaid 19" vs 21" rear inner tire wear question.

    As @unk45 said above though, isn't this more due to the additional give in the 19" tire that allows it to sit flat against the ground and less to do with the tire brand? I experienced terrible inner wear on my 20x10.5s in the back (2017 90D) with a BFG tire, which I think is more because my tire...

    Irregular inboard shoulder wear on rear tires due to insufficient toe-in

    Is this an actual Tesla Service Bulletin? I have a 2017 and it has the same issue, and from perusing the forum it looks like all remedies are ridiculously expensive because Tesla can't correct the camber + toe for my car without aftermarket arms, which they refuse to work on.

    Rear facing seats

    Near you. Are yours leather or cloth? Any photos?

    Wall Connector's Gen3 18' Cable

    When were they purchased? I assume it's been a while or you would still be within the return window. I'm interested, but the price would need to justify not ordering from Tesla directly for $500 with a full warranty period starting from the day of receipt.

    Late 2016 / Early 2017 S Owners: How Are Your Daytime Running Lights Holding Up?

    It's wild that they are replacing these like air filters at their expense instead of developing a revised version that doesn't rapidly deteriorate. Wouldn't it be more cost effective, free up service centers, and prevent Teslas from driving around with cheap looking burnt out exterior lighting...

    Anyone want to trade their carbon fiber MS trim for obeche wood?

    Thanks for the advice! I did exactly that and it looks awesome. The parts are currently infrared curing so I can cut/polish the clear coat. Most of it looks perfect already but unfortunately I got a couple of stray spatters and dust specks I want to remove. Did you cut or polish yours? If so...

    Late 2016 / Early 2017 S Owners: How Are Your Daytime Running Lights Holding Up?

    Thank you for the tip! To clarify, the service center here is experiencing growing pains, but the people are great from what I've seen. They took care of my car and were attentive, friendly, and happy to discuss any questions I had. They just wouldn't budge on the yellowed light, which looked...

    Rear reflectors replaced with led

    Thanks for the info! Where did you run the wire through into the car?

    Late 2016 / Early 2017 S Owners: How Are Your Daytime Running Lights Holding Up?

    12/2016 build here, 36k miles. Just had my partially out passenger side replaced but they refused to replace the yellow drivers side because it was "still in spec". So now my car looks like something is wrong with it. Yay. Do I have any recourse? Pics attached.

    Rear reflectors replaced with led

    Sorry to resurrect, but I just bought some of these and would really like to see someone here who has them installed + any insight into the installation process.

    Anyone want to trade their carbon fiber MS trim for obeche wood?

    I went ahead and bought the eBay set. If anyone would like the obeche wood panels, let me know. They are like new.

    Anyone want to trade their carbon fiber MS trim for obeche wood?

    Please let me know if interested. I am going to be removing the trim to see if I can level my MCU better and want to just go ahead and swap it while it is off.

    MCU/Main Screen Trim Gap Fix?

    It actually looks like the screen itself is installed too deep on the right side, because everything else around it is straight. Any idea how this could happen?

    Anyone want to trade their carbon fiber MS trim for obeche wood?

    I actually already had that eBay listing saved in case I couldn't find anyone here. Obviously a trade would be cheaper, but if that doesn't work out I will buy this. Thanks for looking out! Peakay - PM sent.

    Anyone want to trade their carbon fiber MS trim for obeche wood?

    I have pretty mint obeche wood interior panels in my 2017 Model S, but I would prefer carbon fiber to match my color scheme. Anyone interested in a trade for obeche wood? It looks very nice, I am just a carbon fiber guy.

    MCU/Main Screen Trim Gap Fix?

    I have searched for this but no luck finding anything quite like what I am looking at. I purchased a second hand S from an individual 2 weeks ago and I am loving it. It's an awesome car. However, a few days ago I noticed that the top and right edges of the trim around the main screen have a...

    Rear Seat Tesla S 2016 For Sale

    Thanks for the info. We both own 2016 models, so we will just swap the corresponding parts so that he has a clean non third seat trunk and I have a clean third seat trunk. No need to have either looking rigged when we can exchange the matching trim and have everything looking the way it should...
