I was reading more about USB ports on the Tesla as I'm thinking of "expanding" the ports on the Model S to passengers (read "kids") in the rear seat (e.g., let them plug in USB devices to play their music) in addition to charging devices. Along the way, I found a few threads that had to do with...

A simple engineering fix would be to make the right side hole a little thicker so the right post can't go far enough in to be trapped. Lastly, I noticed when the one and only time this happened, it was because I slammed the door closed.

Yes. He means look for other connectors in the camera module itself, which would mean you have to further disassemble the module. Preferably you can take high enough resolution macro pictures where any other chips may be identified (you can see the printed labels). My instinct says that it is...

FWIW, there are two of these in the car: http://www.nvidia.com/object/tegra-automotive.html

I just bought this micro SD card for my phone, but it came with a ultra tiny adapter (as small as the San Disk one in the first posts)--AND it's interchangeable! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211737 Ironically, I have to tape it to a bigger piece of plastic just to...

Any chance you can post some pictures of what they put in (i.e., the bracket)? I isolated mine by putting Scotch tape on the front seal, and drove around last Saturday morning with the tape--which pretty much eliminated any noise (before forgetting I had it and opened the pano--hey, it's SoCal...

Ouch. I guess it's not a great idea, even though I'm sure artsci would do a heck of a job.

Anyone with pictures of how to completely disassemble the key fob? This way some silicone sealant would do the trick.

It would seem strange that Tesla would use Ethernet (or include two connectors) when generally the console computers are connected to by serial buses like USB. That being said, there are two NVIDIA Visual Computing Modules (VCM) in the car, so it doesn't seem out of the question (both...

+1, though the rubber? inside the fabric can wear out. I also use them in place of wire ties--we got a "ball" of them once at a sale once for $1.00 (must have been 30 of them).

1. When you say "remove the touch screen", do you mean open up its housing? It seems like you've already removed the computer/touchscreen from the console. - I'm presuming you mean remove the touch screen from the housing, and I'd start with the torx screws that's holding down the housing...

I knew it!!! I'll have to find time to get on this and post pictures when I can.

Thanks. Looks like it's different than the connectors I need. I'll contact them and see if they can supply what I need though. BTW, it says it's $18 for the cable from China. I hate to think how much would Amp have charged you?

You guys have a picture?

Would you mind sharing the contact info for the Chinese manufacturer? I'm trying to match one in the glovebox area. I've been ordering miscellaneous electronic parts (e.g., LED light strips. quick connectors, small relays, etc.) from http://www.aliexpress.com, which is a business (all...

BTW, that's a small 12V-USB adaptor--very nice! I looked around and for people looking for this adapter, supposedly these will be on sale tomorrow for 15% off: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/5-pcs-lot-Mini-Dual-USB-Ports-Auto-Power-Jolt-Car-Charger-Adaptor-for-New-Apple/924365214.html I'll...

What panels did you have to pull off to get to the existing 12V adapter? I don't presume you have any pictures of the in process portions?

Thanks. I've started a Google account for my Tesla and will be documenting everything I do on Google drive or maybe plus (front license plate, glovebox light, etc.) to share with anyone that cares. It will allow me to put higher rez pics too. Our right rear window spotted working recently so...

Will be opening up various parts of the Tesla over the next few months (shhh, don't tell the Missus) and wanted to get opinions about where a good location for mounting extra 12V outlets. More importantly, suggestions or experience of where to tap either always-on or "ignition-based" power...

Not wanting to drill holes into the nosecone to install the Tesla provided front license plate holder (LPH), I decided to look around on the forums and ultimately came up with my own approach. In the interest of saving other people some time, I'll summarize what I've found first, then people...

It's what the doctor ordered...to feed the parking meter. ;) Now if anyone can tell me how to get access to the button for the glove box release or send me a link to a thread with pictures, I can really do some modding in the dash area to add other "features".

I'm still getting around to adding additional LED lighting to my trunk and frunk (I actually a different approach for these, but you guys'll have to wait to see it when I'm done--waiting for parts from China :tongue:), but in the meantime, I've added a strip of 3 LED's to the glove box. 1...

+1 Good rule of thumb to reset after any updates.

Ohh, okay. Link to the tool. Just curious as to whether it's an up motion or an "out and up" motion. As for the soldering, yeah I get that because that's what I'll do too. Spliced connections are a no-no for me on this. If there is enough slack, I may switch out the connector for my own as I...

Thanks for the info. How did you get the console trim off? Would love a video, but as you've already taken it apart (and presumably put back together), a more detailed explanation would be appreciated. How did you splice into the 12v connector? Lastly, I presume you figured out which cable...

Anyone add to/replace the light in the glove box?

Ahh, okay. We still haven't received our plates yet because there was a screwup with our VIN when we changed from a 60 to the 85.

Wait, so is there a limited number of stickers?

This would be a nice option, although I'm sure many people would not necessarily feel comfortable with their car unlocked all the time, even at home. App doesn't let you start the car, so doesn't address the forgetting your keys and driving away. Haha. Sad. Let's hope this isn't a big deal...

Warning would be nice, but def. one concern is that someone can START the car and drive off while the fob is OUTSIDE of the car. I just confirmed this by walking in the garage and, keeping the key away from the car about 1 foot (put it on a stool near the car), opened the door, sat in the car...

While we're at it, what about all the transportation costs to get those workers to the gas stations, refineries, etc.! And the poor dinosaurs. No one ever cares about those poor dinosaurs... Okay. All done. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4 Beta

I think the real question is what specific rejection she has to the Tesla? If the objection is "greenness", then get a solar setup. That should take any wind out of her sails re: green of electricity generation. BTW, the argument that there will not be enough change for the next few years...

Looks like no frame damage? Good thing is, because there's nothing in the frunk, and looks like passenger side wheel well came through relatively unscathed (which means the DC-DC converter may be undamaged), it will be repairable? Ouch. Hulk smash!

Ahh, so I can pretty much then just figure how much it costs by determining how much 2-5 miles will cost in terms of kWh. Given I have the 85 kWh battery, and assuming the 300 mile range and 3 miles of range/hour for simplifying the calculation, then I'm guessing it's 1/100 of .85 kWh, or 850...

Been thinking of creating some pre-printed cards for: 1. Placard (think hotel "Do Not Disturb"-sized card) that I can hang on the J1772 charger as it's charging that tells a waiting EV owner how to contact me so I can let them know when I'm done.* 2. Card (business-card sized) so I can leave...

HAHAHA. That is an awesome picture, and partially true. During last winter, I actually worked in our Prius for a portion of the day as it was like a mini-greenhouse in there when the sun was out, and our dog really liked hanging out with me in there as it felt like a big den to him. Even when...

Does anyone have any estimates of how much power the MS uses when it's parked and the system is on (not charging)? Let's assume the AC is on as well, though maybe at a setting that is a couple of degrees within external temperature. This may sound funny, but there are days when I feel I'd...

Ahh. Okay. It was about 7 am when I took that picture in Pasadena, so it was def still cold. The reason I ask is because I'm thinking of putting a parking sensor there and didn't want to plan on it off it was not feasible

Hey all, Been driving around with the S for a couple of days and now trying to figure out the nitty gritty. One thing that I can't figure out is if the front scoops actually do anything. They seem to be blocked with a plastic cover, and I'm guessing the S doesn't need that much air for...

How about switching Bluetooth to my fiancee's phone when she switches the Tesla to her profile? I.e. have the BT connection follow the profile.

One thing I haven't seen anyone mention for a reason (benefit) of having battery swapping is that the Supercharger stations can use the batteries as energy buffers--being charged when electrical rates (and load) are low, and used to swap for drained batteries (for people wanting to swap the...
