    3rd row ventilation

    I have two girls, one 8 and the other 5 with very long hair. Maybe because their hair is so long, waist length, that this has never been a problem. Thanks for the compliments, just trying to help myself and the community!

    3rd row ventilation

    Here's my current set up. Seems to actually work as the kids have really reduced their complaining today. Today was in the high to mid 70's.

    Ordered Grey/Grey, any pics of this combo?

    Hey, that looks like my car! If it wasn't for the alcantera headliner, I'd be checking my phone app to make sure my car was still parked in the office lot! :smile: I might be biased but I really like the combo. I've gotten a lot of compliments on the look of the car. My last car was red so with...

    Rick's Model S Rear Lighted T - No Longer Available

    The grey car in the pictures is mine and I live in the East Bay. I'm not a professional installer but I can help you out if you're interested. PM me and we can figure it out.

    Looking good! In that photo, the T looks like it's floating!

    Vendor Owner's experiences with installation of rear lighted T

    It's probably a combination of the camera and the time of day and the position of the car relative to a setting sun. In hindsight I should have added a video that includes the tail lights for a color comparison. I will try to do one tonight. I don't think it looked orange to me when I looked...

    Vendor Owner's experiences with installation of rear lighted T

    Just finished my install. Took about 2 hours which included a lot of photos and small video. By far the hardest part was putting back the large trim piece. Second hardest was removing the top most harness in the large trim piece. None of my clips broke. Also maybe because I don't have the high...

    12" Sub Added

    NICE! I had Ernie do my M3 a couple of years back and loved his work. Was just daydreaming about adding a sub to MS with standard sound as well yesterday so I might just have to give Ernie a call! What's your review of the overall sound stage? I want to go simple just like you but worried that...

    Experience with Photosync tint on your Model S windshield

    I have photosync 75 on my windshield done by Premier in Fremont. You can catch a faint rainbow effect even without polarized glasses. Also you will notice a slight orange peel texture. None of this would deter me from doing it again tho.

    Artsci, it may be good to know in advance which trim pieces or anchors may break so we have the parts numbers ready.

    Optimum Opti-coat Pro Freshly Applied

    Just had my car prepped and Opti-Coat applied by Johnny over at Distinctiv_Detailing in Fremont, CA. http://distinctivdetailing.com/detailing-samples/2014-tesla-model-s-grey-metallic-3/ I had originally wanted to get this done as soon as I picked up my S85 in March but Johnny was traveling a...

    Non-Nappa door panels and fabric ceiling

    I don't think a photo will be able to help you tell the difference between the nappa, non nappa (at least for the US car). Its more about how the leather feels. The nappa will feel soft, smooth and more pliable. The the non-nappa looks really nice but will feel a bit more textured and stiffer...

    Lighted Tesla T for nosecone

    I love my lighted T but if I could change one thing, it would be to make the LED color a bit warmer. To me its a bit too blue/purple when compared to the DRL and especially the headlights. Not very noticeable when you have it on during the day time but very noticeable at night.

    Standard White vs. Multi-Coat White

    I had this dilemma too because I wanted a white one too. After I saw both, I realized that it took a lot of effort to tell the difference between the two especially to an untrained eye. Decided it was not worth the extra money and went with grey instead.

    Lighted Tesla T for nosecone

    I did this myself as well and I'm not particularly adept at car electronics either. Just watch the online video a couple of times to get the hang of the steps involved. Also making sure you have the positaps and even a voltage meter is extremely helpful if it doesn't light up the first time you...

    Help needed with installing spoiler

    Thanks all. I ended up using blue painters tape to line up the middle of the spoiler with the "t" on the trunk and just eyeballed the depth and straightness. So far it looks near perfect but I did it using late afternoon sunlight which might not have been the best choice. We'll see tomorrow morning!

    Help needed with installing spoiler

    How far in is the spoiler? Is it right on the edge of the trunk? Thanks!

    Thanks for the tips! It the back edge of the spoiler just a bit in front of the end of the trunk?

    Thanks Muzzman! Gives me hope! How did you line up the spoiler? Also, did you go through with removing the wax first?

    Help needed with installing spoiler

    Hi Everyone, maybe its a recent policy change but Fremont Service will no longer help you install an OEM spoiler if your car was not originally equipped with one. I asked two separate sources and got the same answer. They might still update your profile so it shows up on your dash but I will...

    Alloy Gators Rim Protection (Pics and info)

    Thanks to this thread, I bought a set of Alloy Gators direct rom the UK. I even used the "tesla10" discount too. This is a set of their "gun metal grey" ones which seems to be a new color. I think they might have developed this color just for us Tesla owners! Two pictures, one in the shade and...

    Dallas: Photosync/Tinting Kudos!

    Jonathan, would you mind sharing what levels of tint you went with? I am also very interested in Photosync and thinking about doing 75 front and pano and 35 rear. Wondering how your experience has been with the tint itself. Thanks! And nice looking car, any more pics?

    Tesla Rear Window Shade Review and Photos

    I'm definitely going to order one as well. I might double up and tint too but will wait and see how the kids feel about it first.

    Burnt Orange and new SC's in Fremont Open

    I see that the panel where the "T" logo is embedded is now body colored. Wonder if this is what we can expect from newer models?

    Vendor Project Chocolat: A Customized Brown Model S

    LOVE the look! Brown has really been growing on me. Thinking of switching my order form Grey to Brown. Your post is pushing me in that direction! Good work!

    Pros/Cons of Standard and Performance Seats

    I believe the piping and alcantara inserts are the only differences. Alcantara might be a grippier surface but I highly doubt it would be noticeable difference.

    Extended vs. regular Leather

    Problem is that all the loner / test cars at the Fremont Tesla are the fully optioned out P85+ so those all have the extended leather.

    Extended vs. regular Leather

    studiojon, I see you're getting your car tomorrow?!?!?!? lucky !@#$%! Thanks for your help on this thread, helped me save $2500!

    Extended vs. regular Leather

    THANKS Studiojon! That was really helpful. I'm trying to configure a "budget" Model S and was torn as to whether or not I'd really notice the diff with extended or regular leather.

    Extended vs. regular Leather

    Hi everyone! New here and trying to finalize my order. I did a search but didn't find any pictures or good descriptions that show the differences between extended vs regular leather trim. I know that the top of the dash is covered in leather with the extended trim but what about the doors? How...
