    FS: Rear Facing seats

    No, some of them are in my car and I'm not removing. You can order all of that from the service center. The hardest part to get is the rear cross-member to reinforce the bumper/frame, but ebay or body shops can get this.

    FS: Rear Facing seats

    I have rear facing seats out of a S85 in good condition. Price around $1000. Shipping will be expensive. Located in Atlanta.

    Fix your door that won't open

    I was only charged $1.82 from the service center for the last one. The previous was similar priced but they didn't even bother charging me. I've had 3 failures fixed (1 under warranty replaced, 2 done myself). My last door just broke and I will replace this weekend. Hopefully the new part...

    AC odor removal and cleaning

    Never had a car with this problem. Started smelling horrible in less than 9 months with my model 3. Local service center has no filters... wonder why? Maybe I'll have a car that doesn't smell like a bad shoe sometime this year.

    Tesla door handle failure - pivot gear (anyone have one I can buy?)

    I’ve replaced 3 myself now out of warranty. Service center isn’t interested in addressing this or helping. It’s painful just to get the gear from them @ < $2. Upside - I can replace them in less than an hour o_O

    Why does Tesla use a Resistance Heater instead of Heat Pump

    Also keep in mind charging produces excess heat. Charging by itself will warm the pack a good bit faster.

    Louvers not opening during supercharging

    Got my car back. They replaced the 'Active Louvre Assembly - Right (1007269-00-F)' on Goodwill (I am out of warranty at this point). We'll have to see how things work out on my next trip.

    Louvers not opening during supercharging

    I never heard back from Tesla's 'reviewing my logs and getting back to me'. Since then it worked fine for one trip day. Other trips the louvers did not open at all. It was hot outside and similar %soc so I would have expected similar behaviors. It's going into the service center tomorrow...

    Atlanta, GA Waiting Room

    August 2018 was the manufacture date. I had my VIN for a maybe 10 days prior.

    Atlanta, GA Waiting Room

    Just received mine from Decatur on Sunday (9/9). Awesome car so far. The outside was much dirtier than I expected for a delivery. Had a few glue bits on windows inside which needed to be cleaned. Besides that everything was quick and painless. No other concerns with the car so far. Go...

    AutoPilot Buddy now officially banned in USA!

    Was also put in auto-pilot jail for holding with one hand over a 2 hour trip. Luckily it was 10 minutes from the destination so I didn't make an extra stop to get out of jail. I do find it much more annoying than original. I constantly am doing drives where it beeps at me once or twice. On a...

    Louvers not opening during supercharging

    Well, I called service and they said they would pull the logs. Haven't heard anything for a few days; it has been a holiday weekend. I did another long leg of the trip with 3 superchargers and the louvers did open for every leg and charging was at full speed the entire time. I'm starting to...

    Louvers not opening during supercharging

    Thanks. When the outside temperature is 80F or warmer it starts at 118 kW and quickly drops to 60-66kW. It stays there until normal tapering. Moving stalls doesn't make it better. This is pretty much every supercharge in daytime (hot). I watched the last few times and didn't see them...

    Louvers not opening during supercharging

    Most of the time (last few weeks) it charges, fans on louvers closed. Sometimes fans are very loud. Anything to try besides talking to service center? (I am not rooted)

    Louvers not opening during supercharging

    I assume the louvers should open during supercharging. Anyone had an issue like this? Outside temperature is 85F. Charging at 60 kW at 25% battery. :( 2014 s85.

    Software Update 2018.21.9 75bdbc11

    Fully agree. I hate seeing videos of this or with people having their hands off playing on their phones. All accidents at this point cause bad press regardless of blame and will just make the system less useful as more restrictions are added. I personally think AP1 around late last year was...

    Software Update 2018.21.9 75bdbc11

    Yes, I am really holding the wheel, not at the 9 o'clock cross piece as shown. About 8 o'clock with my hand around wheel (thumb/fingers touching). I do have AP1 though. What I did notice is that taking my hand off the wheel when it complains would satisfy the nag. Wiggle is not reliable...

    It was a $725 replacement they wanted. I was told they don't try to repair it.

    Software Update 2018.21.9 75bdbc11

    For everyone else, I am on: 2018.21.9 75bdbc11. I also have a AP1 (late-2014) car which may be different, the video was on an AP2.5 system. I played around with tapping the wheel and it wasn't that sensitive. I had to actually put a little torque on it, but it does more more freely than...

    Software Update 2018.21.9 75bdbc11

    No, I didn't try not using 0 hands on the steering wheel while holding my phone to take a video while going 40 miles per hour down a public road. I bet this is the secret I'm missing. I had my hand at 8 o'clock. There is more give on the wheel, but it would still nag me. I then proceeded...

    Software Update 2018.21.9 75bdbc11

    I have to disagree. (Don't like actual disagree button). I learned on a manual transmission. I would keep my second hand on the shifter. Bad habit... potentially. It's been many, many years of practice. No laws require 2 hands as far as I know either.

    Software Update 2018.21.9 75bdbc11

    Yes, funny. It puts more strain on my wrists to have it higher so pretty much any car I drive the wheel is in almost the lowest position and I can't see the top of the binnacle. This is not specific to Tesla, but I don't remember other vendors putting important warnings only on the top edge of...

    Software Update 2018.21.9 75bdbc11

    Only one hand. In the city I drive with 2 hands but whenever I have auto-pilot or highway I'm usually using 1 hand. I keep it at the 8-9 o'clock position or 5ish. It is pretty lightly on the wheel, just resting. I will use 0 hands on long trips for periods of time (resting on door or lap)...

    Software Update 2018.21.9 75bdbc11

    Three disappointing things: 1) I did not pick to install it, nor did I set a time to install it. It installed automatically anyways last night. I don't remember any update ever doing this in the past. I had been very careful to ignore the update screen as I have been following this thread...

    Door handle stuck fully extended

    Thanks for all the responses. Luckily two days after the handle got stuck, it just started working again. I didn't touch it so no clue as to why. I did try pushing, jiggling, pulling and everything else a day or two prior to it fixing itself and nothing changed. I have already taken...

    Door handle stuck fully extended

    My left rear handle extended past where it normally does and won’t move. It’s at the point which usually triggers the door to open. I can’t push/pull it at all. The door does not get triggered to open, thank goodness or driving would be pretty unsafe. I couldn’t find any posts with this...

    Tesla door handle failure - pivot gear (anyone have one I can buy?)

    I've had 2 fail now, drivers side (used all the time) and passenger rear (which my kids use to get into the car most of the times we drive it). I don't push on the handle, only on the edge of the door so I think it just fails with use. The limit switch stops the motor prior to full extension.

    Tesla door handle failure - pivot gear (anyone have one I can buy?)

    After about an hour of playing with the car for my first time replacing the pivot gear I was successful. It was the passenger rear. If I had to do it again it's easily 30 minutes or less. Unfortunately I had to do an executive escalation to get them to sell me the part. The line from the...

    Tesla door handle failure - pivot gear (anyone have one I can buy?)

    Well, my rear right is not extending. Called Tesla and 1042845-00-A has been replaced with 1042845-00-B. The newer part (1042845-00-B) is on back-order with over 2000 needed and no ETA. Guess I'm going without working doors for a while as the alternative ($750 module replacement) isn't...

    Expired LTE

    Nav has only been wrong or useless 2-3 times in my 3 years (65000 miles) of ownership. Is it as good as waze or google maps? No. I still only use tesla nav in the tesla. I haven’t found the need to use my phone as it’s good enough. I would love waypoints!

    What do you do with your fob at the beach?

    This is intriguing, never thought of that but pretty straight forward. I'd really like to have BT from a phone controlling the access. Looks like something like this could be modified. :)

    Current Tesla Owner With Two Reservations - 2019 Delivery!?

    Mine is the same as @ken830. This is the reply I got from Tesla: Thank you for reaching out to us. Yes, because you are a Tesla owner, you will have a delivery priority in one of your Model 3 reservations. The second one will come with the general public distribution. We greatly appreciate...

    Tesla Glass Tile Solar Roof Update

    Low Battery Supercharging - 0 Kw and 90 minute charge time

    I have never heard of this and it doesn't pan out with personal experience or any of the supercharging spreadsheets that exist. Search 'tesla supercharging spreadsheet' on google and check the first couple. I routinely arrive at 4% or less (many times with 3 miles left) a few times a month and...

    Autopilot data growing 1.5M miles/day. Tesla knows by now if it's safer than a human

    Using the NY DOT numbers (https://www.dot.ny.gov/divisions/operating/osss/highway-repository/Table2_2014.pdf) it looks to be between 1.01 accidents/million miles (Controlled Access, excluding intersections/ramps) to 2.44 acc/MM (Controlled Access, undivided rural). Going to less controlled...

    Install speakers to trunk liftgate on standard system?

    Also interested. I took a bit of the lift-gate apart to install a rear camera. I did not see any wires in mine. I really want to add the two (l/r) speakers in the dash and a sub to the standard sound as it is a little plain. Not motivated enough right now as my garage is very cold to work in.
