Would you install the Alcantara suede dash on your AWD?

[cyberic999]

Update: I took my truck in for scheduled service on Saturday to get the dash installed. Everything looked to be going smoothly. SA told me they had a huge backlog that I was looking at 4 days for them to work on my truck. They got me a loaner and I was on my way. I get a message today that service is complete and that the dash wasn’t installed because it’s only for Beast models. I explained that the whole point of scheduling the service was because THEY sent me a cost estimate with the approved service! Like why couldn’t you freaking tell me ahead of time you wouldn’t be doing the install instead of letting me drive far as hell and having me go without my truck for 4 days! Ugh vent over. On the bright side, I got a new wiper (old one was streaking bad), phone charging pad replaced (gen 5, don’t notice difference yet), and rear underseat storage bin installed all free of charge.

As a shareholder, I'm kinda pleased they didn't install it. As a CT owner, I'm sad it wasn't.

This just goes to show how Tesla truly is not a car company. And thats still ok I think....

I still love my CT. Wouldn't trade it for another vehicle.

On a side note does anyone put any iv protection on the oversized dash without getting it on the windshield? Or is that overkill? Besides putting a sunscreen when parked outside. Thanks. Ik it’s not the point of the thread

I put a dash cover and that seems to protect well. They are available at Amazon and custom cut.

I have 70% tint on my windshield. That takes care of up to 99% of UV, so technically shouldn’t need any protection in that aspect.

Since the Alcantara dash was only for Beast FS, was it listed on your order @cyberic999 ? Just not sure why the SC would replace for free, since it was never an OE part for non-Beast. I've considered ordering the part for mine, although there's nothing 'wrong' with the standard dash, and like ithers have said, you never know what new squeaks will come of replacing trim, especially on earlier builds.

I would love to order it, I even have the part number for the Alcantara dash but Tesla will not sell the part to AWD owners. You must have a Cyberbeast vin number!

Funny thing is you can't order it as an AWD owner. However you can buy it from Tesla if it's in stock at the dealership. Does not make any sense...

How can I buy it from Tesla? I know I can’t order it online or over the phone, they already denied me.

I called the local service center and wanted to order but it's not OEM on the AWD. So I could not order. The loophole is you can still buy it if it's on hand. They did a search and one was in stock two hours away. They called and had them set it aside and I drove over and bought it for $900 and some change.

It is so hard to get the service center on the phone, gonna try to pay them a visit to see if I can order it. After you were lucky enough to buy it how did you get it installed?

I use armor all protectant.

I am yet to install because I was hoping to get them to do it but they will not. I have installed a thin light just like the OEM lights and this is my next project. There is a airbag in the passenger side that must be unbolted and transferred over. Now that I have it I know where all the clips are that hold it down. Seven of the metal clips along the front and five of the plastic ones.

When you remove your dash piece, can you please
Lift up the cloth section between it and the windshield and grab couple of photos if it’s not too much trouble?
I desperately want to put a metal plate under that cloth to help me secure my Starlink with strong magnets and it would be really handy to know how it lifts and where there is flat clipless area I can VHB a metal plate to.

Looks and sounds like a difficult project, I was looking to get my hands on one and have someone install it. Now that you’re telling me there’s airbags involved I’m having second thoughts. There’s a place called Tsportline in Atlanta that sells the Alcantara dash and installs it for $3200. I may take a roadtrip down there early next year. Been looking and they’re the only place that can do it.

The cost for the custom services at Tsportline is not $200 but $2900.
