    Wheel Repair - Orange County Magician Makes Curb Rash Disappear.

    I suffered curb rash (my fault) on the front wheels of my almost new Tesla Model S. I have the expensive 21” Grey Turbine wheels so I felt a little sick. But I found a great shop in Orange County CA that reconditions wheels. After two hours and a couple hundred bucks, Son Tran reconditioned...

    Door handle defect (within two weeks of delivery)

    Not sure if this is record time but my model S has 500 miles on it. Took delivery on the 16th of Dec and discovered tonight that the rear driver side passenger door won’t extend. Both keyfob and using touch screen to unlock doesn’t make it extend. There is no mechanical whizzing sound coming...

    Frunk small crack

    Hi Everyone, I just recieved my brand new 2017 Model S and noticed that there was a tiny crack where the chrome meets the bumper in the frunk. Has anyone else experienced this ? What was the outcome of your situation? I already let me Tesla advisor know, so I am waiting to hear back from them...

    Door handle protection

    I can see the MS door handles are pretty easy to get scratched (by rings or clothing). Are there any options to put a protector (like a film) on them to prevent any scratches? I know you can get them wrapped with Xpel but I was wondering if there were any other simple and cost effective options.

    Removing the dash pad... easiest way?

    Need to replace the dash pad and need some advice on how. I understand there are screws on each side and also two screws above the instrument cluster after removing the D shaped binacle. Then it’s all clips and I have been able to unclip the front parts enough to swap out the dash trim. I have...

    Cargo vent

    Just got my X. Would like input on some features. The vent in the cargo area.....is it s real vent? I see all sorts of wiring behind the cover. Would recirculate use this vent to pull air to the back to keep my dog from freezing in winter? Also, is there anyway to enable the side vents by the...

    MX cream interior, what color floor mats?

    I have cream interior with bad black factory floor mats. I can’t decide which color to pick Black or tan for all weather floor mats. The sidings are all black on bottom portion of model X so black mats will simply disappear. I would get more of a contrast with tan floor mats but just not sure...

    Drivers seat won't move backwards using lever

    My friend came over yesterday and was amazed at the car. When it came time for him to drive, he told me he couldn't move the seat back. I said that's odd given you just moved the passenger seat back. We started to test it by creating a new profile, but that still didn't work. It just...

    Can't "Unsee" These Defects...

    My wife saw a new 3 at the local supermarket today. Since we have two on order she was naturally excited and took some pictures. Many of the pics I have seen of the 3 exhibit these issues and this car had them as well: 1) A pillar transition and gaps are really bad 2) Door alignment off I am...

    Are the B-pillar cameras heated (S/X)?

    Yes or no question ...o_O (Reason I ask is because M3 obviously has heating in them, but I’ve seen no conclusive evidence that MS or MX has it. Parts catalog doesn’t say if they’re heated or not.) Pic of heated B-pillar camera in M3...

    Phantom Cabin Heater...

    This morning my car seems to have decided to turn the heater on in rather strange fashion. I seldom pre-heat my car in the morning. Today I thought I would as it's the first day I needed to drive in to work after having received the latest firmware that does battery pre-heat, and I thought I'd...

    Trim peeling away from car ??

    I noticed that the black plastic trim under the front passenger door of my 2016 MX is paling away. Anyone have this happen too ? Of course, I'm planning to take the car in but also wanted to gauge how unusual this is. Also wondering if this is simply a fit and finish issue or something a little...

    FWDs wouldn't open, couldn't override

    Has anyone else experienced this situation? With no obstacles anywhere, neither FWD would open, nor would they even respond to manual override (screen or button). Eventually, after driving around a bit, everything resolved. Odd, no? I suspect a software issue.
