    Rotary screen retrofit?

    If it's like a Model Y HEPA retrofit you can schedule a mobile tech for filter replacements. Then ask him to check if there is a tilt screen setting he can enable and offer a $50+ for his services. I paid mine $75 to enable biodefense mode, he did it after I linked him a quick YouTube video...

    Failed heat pump and supermanifold, out of warranty - $ouch

    Just wanted to bump this as it happened to my 2021 Model Y @ 42,000 miles. Everything was replaced under warranty. I also have the Xcare warranty for 10 years 160,000 miles once the Tesla warranty runs out. This one repair, if done out of warranty, would be worth the cost of the XCare.

    Range Discrepancy - Trip Computer vs Energy App

    Yup pretty much. Also why displayed range is often not the same calculated energy usage as your actual range from the trip menu. Lots of various factor affect actual range such as temperature, speed, AC use, elevation changes, towing/weight, tire pressure, etc.

    Who's getting the normal steering wheel?

    I like the yoke. Nothing obscuring the dash display. I put in a mini lcd on my Model Y and the round wheel annoys me so much when trying to view that screen. If you use your thumbs on the corner levers turning the wheel is just as effortless as a round wheel.

    Phone key issues since latest app update

    Have a Model S 2022 and Galaxy Fold 4 and this has started within the last few weeks as well. Still waiting on a fix. Same thing occured with my Model Y but I was able to repair and add the phone key again. But still does not work on my Model S.

    Model S - Recessed/Sunken door handles.

    I have a 2022 from Dec '21 and noticed the same thing and actually put in a service request. I thought it was an issue but think it's by design now considering all four handles are recessed about the same depth and canceled it. It's not that big of a deal to me and I've become accustomed to it...

    Weird buzzing sound after updating to 2022.24.6 [Fixed in 2022.36.1]

    As someone said above the contact is active/disconnected at a high frequency (causing the noise) which is probably meant to reduce power draw vs active all the time. The byproduct of this power-saving feature is that it causes this whine. I'm still waiting for them to push an update that reverts...

    How much for full Vinyl Wrap

    I just want to say if you buy 3M 2080 and do it yourself with about 5' x 50' of wrap the total costs associated is about $850 then probably about $150 in tools if you don't have any. So the base price of a wrap is around $1k so if you're paying 6k for a wrap the labor costs are $5k. Find an...

    Camping Mattress for Model S

    The twin fits fine in the back but you'll need a board or plank in front to keep it from eating. The areas not covered by the front makes it easier to access rear door storage and let wells as well. I don't see you needing the little bit of side space left. Get Teslamat privacy screen or...

    Camping Mattress for Model S

    I went a bit all out and got a rooftop tent. I car camp with the Millard and then throw it up top if I want to sleep in the tent. 🤣 Literally saved me $1000+ on AirBnBs. I like the ruggedness of the experience but it might not be for you sleeping in parking lots or going 2-4 days between...

    I cannot find 12 volt socket in 2022 MS

    It's a lot of waste as stats show around 80%+ of spire tires and tools are never used in traditional vehicles. One reason why most are doing away with it. Cellular service now reaches most places. You can get a spare kit from the modernspare but I sort of am regretting my purchase. It's big...

    MS Plaid AC blows hot air for about 1 min

    Is there a reason you don't set the temp in the app and get in when the car indicates its ready? I'm assuming it takes a min or two because it's a heat pump and works as an AC and heater vs a traditional AC. The liquid needs to reach a certain temp before it starts working efficiently while...

    SeaSucker Board Rack mounting points for a Solid Roof Model S

    I personally wouldn't trust any type of suction cup device for a roof mount. Too many liability and reliability issues. Why not just get the retrofitted roof rack from Tesla for older models. It's weird they don't list static and dynamic load specs but ambiguously imply 140 lbs of pull required...

    Vinyl Wrap or Paint?

    I'm wrapping my Y myself $850 mats and tools. The wrap only costs about $700. Everything else is labor.

    Weird buzzing sound after updating to 2022.24.6 [Fixed in 2022.36.1]

    My service guy read to me the bulletin that Tesla sent out. Something about the contacts on the battery pack being activated for better performance that is causing the noise. I wouldn't be surprised if this was just a way to kick the can down the road as we all know how long the USB sentry cam...

    Weird buzzing sound after updating to 2022.24.6 [Fixed in 2022.36.1]

    Had my 2022 serviced this week and agent said it's a firmware update that caused it and a fix should be out eventually. They are aware of the issue. It's been rather annoying on camping trips since I car camp and can hear it.

    2022 Model X - Interior Noise / Rattling / Crackling

    Wrap some tape around the metal hooks that the seats latch onto when folded down. The clips inside the seats seem to get loosened and the tape will make it fit more snug and resolved my rattled. I even had the service team check it out and see if there was an official fix but they simply wrapped...

    Can you turn the screen off?

    Yes the screen goes into dark mode after several minutes. It's after the campfire scene.

    Camping Mattress for Model S

    Can confirm the Millard fits perfectly. I will be glamping on a 4k Western US National Park tour the next ten days. Buy their mattress sheet as well. Remember to bring a pillow and slide the trunk cover between the folded seats and mattress so that the portion near the driver side is not...

    No option to undo save location for auto mirror folding

    Delete the profile and make a new one. If you save location for auto fold mirrors you have to be in the same location to unsave it. Which for me happened to be turning at a cross street near my house so the mirrors folded and unfolded when I drove through that intersection. There needs to be a...

    Rear quarter glass replacement delay.

    If you get desperate enough you can try trashed vehicles for replacement parts. You can find them on eBay.

    Plaid cracked roof glass at delivery

    I have a 2018 M3 and found a similar crack last year. They replaced it under warranty. Not a big deal, the panes are just glued on.

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    How are people getting deliveries when they ordered in the summer? I ordered Jan 29th RN1144 MSM LR S and my date just got pushed back another month today to the end of Dec. I don't even realistically expect it shipped the last two weeks during Christmas either. WTF?

    Tesla S Delivery

    Canceled 2021 S Model for good reason

    This screams first world entitlement problem. Having a bit of a chuckle. Sorry can't empathize at all.
