    RFID toll road tag behind nose cone

    Horizontal mounting and high up on bumper beam IIRC to get as far away from parking sensor wiring as possible. It has been long enough ago that I don't remember exactly, would have to pop the nosecone off and take a look.

    RFID toll road tag behind nose cone

    Same here, I used HD velcro to attach the black license plate mount style iPass to the forward edge of the aluminum bumper crash beam behind the nose cone and seems to be working just fine. We have had only 3 or 4 video tolls over the past few years and I suspect those were related to rolling...

    Thermal Sun Shades

    Any chance you can post some pictures of what you made? I have also found that stuffing a small scarf or hat into the small triangular window space just behind A-pillar, far enough forward to not obstruct my view to my driver's side mirror, makes a big difference in cold body drafts when...

    Tesla Model S - "Installz" Lighting Kit w/Installation

    Al, I am really loving the extra illumination that your trunk kit provides but in the past few weeks, just on one of the panels, a row of three LEDS intermittently flickers, causing a strobe effect in the trunk. Is there anything that can be done about this?

    WTB Gen 2 Continental TPMS

    Maybe not the advice you are looking for, but with how reasonable and easy they are to purchase by the piece from your local service center, IMHO not worth the hassle and risk to buy used or aftermarket. I run non-Tesla aftermarket wheels for winter duty and after looking around at my...

    Driver's side mirror not correctly repositioning after being in reverse

    When the auto tilt mirror feature is selected on my 2014 MS, the mirror actually actively tilts up (!) and not down when the car's in reverse. Not worth yet another trip to my local SC so it's sat on my list of minor annoyances to be addressed next time I'm in for something more major. In the...

    19" winter wheels: Rial vs Slipstream vs Cyclones vs TST vs...?

    I apologize if it was your winter accessories post from last week that I already responded to but if not and you aren't totally opposed to dark colored wheels, VMR makes a good 19" winter wheel option that is both lighter than OEM and a high load rating. further details on my thread here: New...

    Kagu Rubber floor mats

    Yes, the metal collars over the rivets are easily removed with pliers from the backside. I filled in the holes left behind on mine with a little Bondic glue on the backside of the mat to keep them weather tight underneath. I assume any glue or caulking that would remain somewhat flexible would...

    New Lighterweight 19" Wheel Option

    It depends on which 19" OE wheel and what sources you want to trust but general consensus is that they all weigh about 30 lbs.

    New Lighterweight 19" Wheel Option

    I wanted to try something a little different when I set out researching reasonably priced lighter weight 19" wheel options for winter duty on our 21" turbine equipped MS. In working with Velocity Motoring, they offered to cut their new V710FF wheel with a Tesla specific 64.1mm center bore hub...

    Kagu Rubber floor mats

    Here are a few views of the mats in my car from this afternoon. The black color carpet of the mats is a true black vs Tesla's more grey-black hue but the color is still close enough that it does not distract the eye once installed on the floor. In my opinion the only thing that distracted was...

    Kagu Rubber floor mats

    We have the similar 3D MAXpider classic carpet version mats for our MS. This fall I had a similar problem with very extended estimated shipping times after placing my order with one vendor on Amazon. I canceled that one and ordered from another vendor that could deliver within a week...

    P85+ 21" on a P90D

    Not to mention getting the elusive rear Next Gen seats as the cherry on top. We patiently searched CPO specifically for those early P85D's with PX01 package for over a half a year and were finally rewarded with our current car. Just like the odd-ball P85+'s with AP hardware, there are P85D's...

    P85+ 21" on a P90D

    Actually there was some overlap early on with wind down of P85+ and ramp up of the P85D production. Our 2014 Q4 P85D came with staggered 21" wheels and the PX01 suspension.

    Carbon Fiber Rims

    As exciting as the prospect of data from a test like this may be, the scientific method from the C&D staff could really use some help. They compared different model mustangs with different mfg curb weights (do you trust them to have at least remembered to check that the cars had similar fuel...
