    Replacing cabin air filter and cleaning evaporator fins in 2021-2022 MS

    Hi, Posted about this over last few years. In general, what I can't figure out is why Tesla can not modify the firmware to force drying of the filters after parking. Same issue on our 2018 Model 3 and now our 2021 Model S Refresh. In 2018, they promised a programming change to force the damper...

    trunk closes but wont latch that extra latch so car says trunk open

    Same Trunk Latch not working situation happened February 2023 at 18k miles on 2021 Model S Refresh. Adding comments for DIY's. My wife was about 1 hour away from home, I took an Uber, hanger, and some other tools to try and temporarily fix it. Texted Service to try and troubleshoot, did all of...

    Jacket Hanger?

    Sharing this advice to CONSIDER NOT asking Tesla to replace this coat hook if the thin rubber coating breaks and it does not look so good. After almost 2 hours of removing ALL of the Trim to the back of the car and the pillar trim on each side of the rear door, they have to use a crow bar to...

    Replacing cabin air filter and cleaning evaporator fins in 2021-2022 MS

    So here we are on June 29, 2023 and Mobile Service is replacing the Cabin Filter, again for the foul smell, that came back as soon as we started to use AC (humidity in NC came later this year). It really is unbelievable that Tesla is not able to force the fan to run with external damper open to...

    trunk closes but wont latch that extra latch so car says trunk open

    Rear latch closes but won’t cinch down. Closes under power and latch aligned, but motor does not run to pull down against seal. Called Tesla and they insisted on sending a flatbed tow due to safety. I had already crawled in the trunk and put wire to hold it down, but they wanted to bring it to...

    2021 Model S LR Refresh - Foul Smell in Cabin Hi, Has anyone had any success with Tesla Service to cover the cost of replacing the Cabin Filter due to the foul smell? Service said it was 1 year (delivered 8/30/21) and filter should be replaced. But manual says every 3 years. I decided not to...

    I just logged into my app, nothing is there since I don't have my new Tesla, yet. But, if you log into your online account after you transfer ownership, your Dashboard will have a section 'Previously Owned Vehicles'. I can still see the VIN and the date I transferred it.
