    Tesla Model S retractable roof noise

    Follow up - Tesla said that it probably needed a "roof rebuild" and that they wont know if it needs a full rebuild until it gets in and they dig into it. They said a full rebuild would cost around $4k. I reminded them that I had the extended warranty, for which their system didnt show. After...

    Tesla Model S retractable roof noise

    I’m going to schedule service with Tesla, but curious if anyone has ever experienced this noise with their roof on their MS? I’ll post findings from Tesla when complete.

    Model 3 Trunk won’t open [aftermarket powered trunk kit installed]

    Ok, I think it is definitely the controller unit. I disconnected the Y cable in the hatch and connected the power from Tesla directly to the handle. I was then able to open the trunk through normal factory processes. I then reconnected to the Y cable and tested the purple connector, which...

    Model 3 Trunk won’t open [aftermarket powered trunk kit installed]

    I installed the TeslaOffer electric trunk lift gate system (similar to hannshow) about 2 years ago and it has worked great. It stopped working the other day for no apparent reason. I cannot open/close from screen, app and can’t open from handle on trunk. I can only open by opening seat back...

    What is this part called?

    2015 Model S - Anyone know what this part is called and why it comes off? I can’t get it back on so I am thinking I need to buy a replacement and give that a shot.

    2020.12.5 software update issue

    I figured it out...I was using the Tesla Roadie to store/view Dashcam footage. I took it out and replaced it with a different memory stick (formatted for fat32 w/Teslacam folder and it worked. It looks like the roadie either doesn’t work with this software update or somehow the software update...

    2020.12.5 Update issue w/Sentry Viewer

    Not sure...that’s my point I think something got jacked up during the install. I submitted a repair request into Tesla. I suspect they will probably have to re-push and reinstall the update. I will update the post as I learn more.

    2020.12.5 Update issue w/Sentry Viewer

    While updating my ‘18 M3 to 2020.12.5 software I never received the update complete message. When I went to the car, it wouldn’t turn on. I performed a reboot from steering wheel and the car turned on. It showed the 2020.12.5 release notes, including the new dashcam viewer, however when I click...

    Anybody bought from Taptes?

    I purchased white seat covers to cover white seat that had a stain I couldn’t get out (tried absolutely everything), which btw I am convinced I am the only person on the planet with this issue, after 2 months of no shipping/delivery and no response to email I disputed the charge with my bank...

    Ultra White vegan leather stains

    My wife’s 4 month old model 3 has stains on the driver seat we believe they are from her suede jacket, but not sure. We have tried all of the following with no luck. Since none of the cleaners ever listed on this forum or Tesla forum work, what other options do we have (dye, replace, something...

    DRL wire for lighted T?

    I am trying to find the correct wire on the headlamp assembly to connect the front lighted T so they come on when DRLs are on on a 2015 Model S. The instructions say to connect to the red wire with white stripe for headlight power or the orange wire with black stripe for DRL power. I cannot find...

    Lighted Appliqué Issues

    I had a professional install the rear lighted appliqué about a year ago. Post install the appliqué would not function properly with the right turn signal. I emailed the manufacturer and they said it was an install issue. I decided to just not turn on the appliqué to work with the turn signals...

    Frunk Switch?

    You are exactly right. Which is why I wonder if the frunk button is the only mechanism to open the frunk. If so, then if battery died the vehicle may be out of compliance, if of course, trunk laws apply to frunks. Unfortunately not as easy as “get in and test”, as you would first have to drain...

    Frunk Switch?

    Ok, maybe said differently, if the 12v battery dies and you were stuck in the frunk, how would you open it? The button doesn’t appear to be electric, but I could be mistaken. If it is electric, where/what is the manual override?

    Unplugged Performance Model S Refresh

    Sorry to hear that. I must admit I didn’t sleep well the night before the work in fear of issues. Happy to throw in $20 via a gofundme to help out a fellow Tesla owner.

    Unplugged Performance Model S Refresh

    Updated my 2015 Model S with the Unplugged Performance’s Front Fascia refresh. I am very pleased with the outcome. Had a couple bumps with shipping, I think due to some events UP was attending, but other than that all went well. Body shop (listed below for anyone in the Denver area), did a...

    Has anyone installed Unplugged Performance's refresh front fascia?

    Cool - Do you recall which version of the lighted T you bought? They have 2 options: I pre April 2016 or post April 2016. I am not sure of the technical difference between the two. I tried messaging evannex, but it keeps failing.

    Has anyone installed Unplugged Performance's refresh front fascia?

    Has anyone installed Unplugged Performance's refresh front fascia?

    UPDATE: 3+ weeks passed and fascia still has not shipped. I was contacted a couple of times stating it would ship in the next couple of days, but status on their website shows that the order is still on hold. Just a heads up for those looking to order, you may see delays. Ordering process does...

    Ordered front fascia from Unplugged Performance last week Thursday morning. Credit Card was charged, but no confirmation email (or any email) as of yet. Emailed them to ask for a status on Friday. Will give them until EOD Tuesday or will dispute transaction with my issuing bank. Not off to a...

    Music auto skipping bug?

    I wouldn't rule anything out...but it only happens first thing in the morning when I get in the car (minus the one time it occurred at night - video) and I cannot force it to happen at any other time...even monkeying with the steering wheel buttons. Searched most tesla forums and couldn't find...

    Music auto skipping bug?

    New iPhone and Android Control Module for lighted rear appliqué

    I can further confirm that a reboot of iPhone 7 running ios 10.01 and iphone 7 plus running ios10.1 (beta), allows the app to connect to the Bluetooth controller and function as designed. This definitely implies an issue with the os or more than likely the os/hardware combination with Apple.

    Last update/Repair complete. Total repair time = 5 months & $15k in repair costs. Thinking about selling it, scared to death of getting into accident again. Way too much of a hassle, although the car is great, no car is worth this kind of nightmare to repair it. For reference, reposting...
