thanks for everyone’s input. I’m gonna take a 24h tester and see if I can find a better selling price. My worry is that the resale value will drop even further as the market gets used to the new lower pricing. Right now the non tesla used car people may not be reflecting this new change so...

@Ostrichsak haha joke's on you! They offered a whopping $40k :rolleyes: Yikes. I paid $117 K in 2019 with FSD so they evaluated it assuming I take away FSD, so base price was ~109K (FSD $7,900). Unfortunately there's also an accident on record - some jerk backed into my MS 2 weeks after I got...

I just submitted a trade in request on the Tesla website last night so I'll see what the trade in valuation is. I do like the Raven, but I'm clearly a Tesla junkie, upgrading every 4 years just as the warranty runs out (mine runs out tomorrow!!). I don't really believe FSD will ever really be...

The new price drops and the FSD transfer has me looking seriously at trading in my 2019 Raven Model S for the current 2023 model. The crunch is I need to decide in order to get delivery by Sept 30th to qualify for the FSD transfer. Thus I'm looking for people to push me or hold me back while I...

Yep - reboot and no dice.

Our brand new (Sept 2021) Model Y (Long Range, Canada) doesn't seem to save the position for the auto-tilt on reverse. No matter how many times I put the car in reverse, with Auto-tilt ON, and then set the desired position (then hit SAVE on the user profile drop down), it always reverts to the...

Actually the CAD$ pricing for the Tesla version is $650 vs $275 CAD from AliExpress or $420 CAD from the Canadian company.

Anyone have experience with these roof racks for Model Y? They’re considerably cheaper than Tesla’s and look identical. The have the same J hook mount. I have the Tesla branded racks on my S but these look good to me. Of course I know there’s always risk with knock offs but I’m wondering if...

Aside from autopilot in the navigation/highway/FSD sense, what are people's experiences and thoughts about Tesla Vision just for the safety features (eg collision warning and related braking)? I'm very concerned the lack of radar will be an issue in places like Vancouver where I live, where it...

Mine is still working perfectly and the mod brings me a tiny spark of joy every time the door closes.

I’m hoping it could be fixed in software by changing the gain. We should bug Tesla about it. Since they just sent out amass email about safety it might be worth sending a tweet out at Elon and Teslamotors with your picture as the example. I didn’t take pics with my older cars to compare but your...

I’ve definitely noticed the rear view camera is considerably darker at night in the Raven S (got mine Sept 2019) compared to the 2013 and 2016 Models that I had. Have to touch the brakes (to illuminate the red light) to see much. the images you posted are quite accurate. Makes backing up...

I’d imagine it’s compatible with all Model S units as they haven’t changed anything else in the body except for the nose cone and headlights.

I haven’t tried it with this car but as far as I know Canadian Tesla’s can’t use just the key fob to make a car pull forward or backward, instead we require the app to do it (and the key fob needs to be within short range of the car, but the fob itself isn’t the summon controller). The problem...

@gulbrillo - Thanks soo much for your efforts. I sent the information you gave to the adjuster but they are very leery about moving forward unless we have more sure images or other reports. I think the work you did is really cool and a testament to your skills! Thanks for levelling your...

Wow that’s really impressive work - I really appreciate the efforts you put into it! A deep dive into our local plate styles! The second clip has a direct view of the plate as he pulls into the parking spot rather than the oblique view. Not sure if there’s a way to work your magic as it pulls...

I'm looking at doing my own chrome delete: while Plastidip looks like a fairly easy thing to do, I'm worried about the durability especially at touch points where people might rub up against it using their hands etc when getting in and out of the car - thus the lower chrome trim at the edges of...

That adhesive failing is definitely a concern! Can you post pictures of how you fixed it to the cross beam? It would be good to know if there’s enough clearance and at what part of the cross beam? Did you use zip ties? In my car the cross beam had ridges this not a lot of surface area for...

Literally watching a recorded show via Plex.tv in my Raven S as I write this but I notice the audio is kinda quiet - I have the volume up to 7-8 for a decent experience. So far video is quite smooth over Tesla’s LTE connection (not sure when they cut that off!)

Great tip. Hopefully someone can help!! Especially among Tesla owners, I'm hoping we have a guru in image/video processing! My own eyeballs are convinced of the 1st 2 letters and maybe a hint of the last digit, but here's hoping others will chime in! Here are the raw files: Initial strike...

Oh, I agree, and I think that beyond a parlor trick I don't actually think I'm going to be using it very often -- it's really not that hard to walk to your car. It's still a remarkable achievement and definitely a toy I'd like to play with when it does get here. It's a shame we never got the...

Thanks for the tips! I’ll be speaking with the adjuster Monday. Frankly I don’t think they care enough to do the extra work — she claims 2 letters and the vehicle make aren’t enough to make a match but that seems lazy or unrealistic to me, especially when they can also cross reference the image...

Happy to get v10 today on my Aug 2019 Raven model S. Was sad but not surprised to see that enhanced summon is NOT in the release notes. I’m hoping it’ll still come but I’m not holding my breath since Canadian regulators haven’t blessed other summon features in the past (in Canada we can’t use...

Actually I don’t think he knew it happened. I can see him walking away not even looking at my car. The rain, darkness and my black car along with the huge obnoxious redneck monster car stance probably meant he didn’t even think he hit me. The raised tires means the bumpers are irrelevant for...

Argh, My brand new Model S was backed into by a guy driving a raised pickup truck -- the high bumper caused a big dent in my trunk up high since his bumper is so obnoxiously high. I'll end up paying for the deductible unless I can identify the license plate, but unfortunately, the side view...

I can tell you that based on my personal experience, the Tesla Offer vendor is definitely responsive, and ships incredibly quickly via DHL express. I got my original kit as well as a replacement unit each within 5-6 days to Canada, and I've been able to communicate with him via email and...

I'd allow 4-5 hours depending on how handy you are. I took way too long pondering one connector in the front door (just pull it firmly -- see my post above) and also struggling with the rubber seal in the back seat (I should have cut it), plus being a bit careful on the trim - I'll bet those...

When you slam the door it just closes like normal although I do think it softens the blow a little but that might be my placebo/wishful thinking. Now that I’m looking specifically, I do think a hard slam is attenuated with the soft door kit compared to my memory of it over the last 6 years...

I really don’t think that’s an issue at all - the latching claw flips down as soon as the door closes and works just like the factory claw does. I can’t speak to the material build but both the factory and soft close latch are made of plastic over metal (I think). I tested it using a screwdriver...

Despite this being my 3rd Model S, my family still found they sometimes had to open and re-close the doors if they didn’t close them just right. I’ve also had passengers who have never ridden an S and it was embarrassing that such a high end car needed a reopen-and-close action! The nail in the...

Last question (I think) - any concerns of excessive heat (safety but also longevity) due to the sound insulation and wrapping of the transformers?

Thanks again. I’m definitely gonna try this! Last question: how did you tap into the ambient light plugs? I’ve tapped into them myself just by poking pins into the back end of the connector, which is plugged into the factory LED light but it’s hard to secure. I’m trying to avoid cutting into...

Thanks for your detailed replies! If you muster up the energy to do it one day, I'd love to see more closeups, especially at the ends of the light runs to get an idea how they come out of the doors and into the trim. That said, your descriptions are very good, so thanks!!

@tcoombes Thanks - that's exactly what I was looking for! Ordering now.... In fact, its almost a shame this is buried in a thread with the title of removing the subwoofer when it turns out this thread is a great resource for a quick and inexpensive mod. I only stumbled on it by searching...

I want to do this for my brand new 2019 Raven S. So I don’t mess it up, can someone confirm that all I would need to do is get the Sound Qubed HDS2.1 at HDS2.1 Series Selection | SoundQubed And specify 8”, dual 2 ohm ? Also, if I just swap out the Tesla subwoofer with this one, leaving the...

=== When you installed your NVX subwoofer and amp did you run a new wire to the amp from the factory amp for the subwoofer audio? I have a brand new 2019 Model S (1 week old) and it has the factory sub - I’m trying to see if there’s any way to just use the factory wiring for the subwoofer...

This looks really cool. Did you do the rear doors as well?

I quickly checked my units from teslaoffer and they also have the brackets. Mine didn’t have the screw holes but that would be easy enough to fix. The bracket did have double sided tape on it preinstalled. There’s also tape on the bottom of the actuator to really link it to the bracket (which...

@FPLPowered thanks for your insights! My kit has actually arrived via DHL to Canada already - I’m amazed at how quick the delivery was. I’m in a holding pattern for installation until my new S gets here so your notes will be very helpful.

My RVG expires at the end of August as well — for my 2016 90D that has AP1 hardware. I agonized trying to wait out the rumoured refresh but it’s not happening soon enough. I decided to go ahead when it turned out that Tesla was offering me a trade in value better than my RVG ($62K RVG vs $75K...

I've been in conversations with the owner (Warren Chan) -- they are actually doing installations in the Seattle and Vancouver, BC (Canada) for Model 3/S Soft Closing Doors and Model 3 Electric Tailgate from 22nd Aug to 30th Aug. Unfortunately my (just ordered!!) new S won't be here by then so I...

I just placed an order for all 4 doors. The kit looks quite doable and well made from the video (wiring harnesses and tapes etc included). Here's the install video: I also asked for a discount for the TMC forums and he's offering $50 off til Aug 31st. Use this code: TMCAUG50OFF Looking...

Ive always thought Model S’s doors feel cheap (especially for the price of the car) and often people have to open and re-close the doors. I just found this kit at: Model S Soft Closing Doors – Tesla Offer It looks like it does the job well. Pricey at $750 for 4 doors, $400 for 2 doors. I’m...

With the price increase planned next week I contacted the referral program to convert my Powerwall reward to the credit, but got this extremely frustrating news. I'm hoping but very doubtful they'll consider grandfathering rewards achieved before this change, but I have a feeling they won't -...

That’s great news! I just ordered them and will report back how it goes. Thanks.

I looked at that thread but didn't see anything about these sensors. I think that thread is referring to upgrading the older system in the car to the current 2nd gen system. To be clear, I now have a new 2016 Model S which uses the 2nd generation TPMS system. My winter tires are mounted on...

I need to change the TPMS sensors from my winter tires I used on my 2013 Model S for the newer 2016 Model S. According to my local Tesla shop, the sensors are now $85 CAD (approx $68 USD depending on exchange). I thought they were closer to $50 before. I found this set of TPMS sensors on...

With the discount ending at the end of October, there may be more interest in referrals in the next couple of weeks. I wish we had a thread dedicated to codes, and it is mutually beneficial. In that spirit, here's my code: Unlimited Tesla Supercharging and Extended Solar Warranty I'm happy to...

End of quarter means potential for extra incentives from Tesla (generally for used or demo inventory, which is basically new, without the wait!). I'm sure you also know that a referral code gets a discount ($1400 CAD/ $1000 USD) plus lifetime Supercharging. For Canadians, the current CAD $1400...

I'm betting on some sort of blue/green screen or post-production shenanigans! Glad to be proven wrong - but this has been up since Sept 2016 and if it's real, I'm surprised no one on this forum has seen it or discussed any way to get live video on the center screen. You could do a green screen...
