    Disassemble middle (2nd) row bucket seat to fix seat belt?

    Okay, I managed to figure it out just before 16MX posted his photo (but thanks!). (This link was a bit cryptic but also at least confirmed it was an okay thing to do: Tesla Model X - Cover - Seat Back - 2nd Row - LH (Remove and Replace) - External Charging Connectors) I used a couple of...

    Disassemble middle (2nd) row bucket seat to fix seat belt?

    2016 Model X 6-seater: Anybody seen instructions (written or video) for how to take the middle row bucket seat apart to get to the seat belt mechanism? My belt is stuck/twisted and no amount of slow wiggling seems to be able to free it up. Tesla has quoted me $950 to 'fix' this but that's a...

    Model S carbon fiber spoiler, never installed, from 2012 (yes really!)

    anybody know - is the circa 2012 CF spoiler exactly the same as more recent ones? Mostly just curious...

    Model S carbon fiber spoiler, never installed, from 2012 (yes really!)

    Cleaning out the garage and I realized I have the carbon fiber spoiler that came with my original Model S (which I took delivery of in like February of 2012). It's never been installed and in fact the first time it came out of the bubble wrap was when I took the picture 5 minutes ago. As you...

    were early MS VINs sequential?

    Were the early MS VIN #'s sequential? So does my #01778 indicate that it was the 1,778th Model S produced, or did the signature MS's have different VIN numbering? I'm getting ready to sell it (P85) and just curious. (For what it's worth, Venmo's offering me about $30K for it)

    2012 Model S Signature Cars

    Were the early MS VIN #'s sequential? So does my #01778 indicate that it was the 1,778th Model S produced, or did the signature MS's have different VIN numbering? I'm getting ready to sell it (P85) and just curious. (For what it's worth, Venmo's offering me about $30K for it)

    Model Y rear camera worse than Model X?

    Ah, that would be nice. Does seem odd that something relatively cheap like camera would be sub-par so it makes sense that it's a software not a hardware issue.

    I like it!

    Honestly at this point I drove it home from the pickup spot (20 minutes away) and it's been in the garage since :). Bad timing. I would say that I do sort of miss my dual display on the S, and it feels a little less 'solid' in terms of door-thunk (and particularly frunk-thump) but that's to be...

    Model Y rear camera worse than Model X?

    Hopefully this thread doesn't spiral out of control but it's seeming to me that the Model Y's rear camera quality is worse than on our 2016 Model X and even vs. my original 2012 MS. Do the higher-end cars have different cameras vs. the 3/Y? I'll try to do a side-by-side at some point to see if...

    I like it!

    lol, yeah a narrow street. I do wish there was a better camera that would show exactly where the curb is.

    I like it!

    My ModelS had 21" tires too so it doesn't feel much different to me. I actually hadn't realized how much range the bigger tires cost me - might not have done it. But I gotta say, they really make the car look beautiful.

    California tax benefit for trade-in - what's the %?

    Trying to decide on whether I trade in my 2012 ModelS (when I take delivery of the Y) or just sell it to Carmax or something. I've also seen the discussions on Tesla potentially matching Carmax offers for trade-in value so I'll be attempting that. But wanted to make sure I understand the tax...

    Carmax still says offer good for 7 days when you fill out the form online, FYI

    Bought ModelX used - how do I know if eligible for HW3 upgrade?

    We bought a used ModelX last year, from a dealer who'd bought it at auction. If the original owner bought FSD package, how do I know? And would I still be eligible for upgrade?

    What's a brand-new Model S carbon-fiber spoiler (circa 2012) worth?

    I purchased at the same time as I ordered my car, back in 2012, but it wasn't shipping at the time and showed up a few months later. And I put it in the garage and never got around to doing anything with it. It's absolutely brand-new, obviously... never even took it out of the bubble-wrap it...

    WTB: carbon fiber spoiler for Model S

    If you're still in the market, I'm in Southern California and have one that's never been opened/installed. It's newer, so would be considered the matte finish I think. Shoot me a message if still interested.

    Alloy Gators Rim Protection (Pics and info)

    Anybody had these installed in Los Angeles area (either by independent shop or by the Santa Monica service center)? Cost for that?
