The housing is attached with 8 10-32 100 degree countersunk brass instrument screws. Available from Aircraft Spruce and others. I used a soft rubber grommet for the cable pass through. The weatherstrip seal is the same thing used to seal outdoor ductwork.

Looking at it from outside, we drilled a hole just to the right of the back glass as in this photo. We drilled it from the inside so if you do the same be sure and measure carefully so you don’t hit the glass. There is a wire harness above the side curtain airbags you can zip tie the cable to...

Nice design. Looks like an original factory part.

I’ve seen a few really nice 3D printed camera housings but unfortunately, I don’t own a printer at this time. So instead, I bent this up out of one scrap piece of 2024 T3 Alclad aluminum. I decided to route the cable through the interior rather than take the chance of causing wind noise by going...

Mostly positive here but it does look like it was designed to be in your face so bound to get some negative attention.

No regrets about the truck itself but if you need PowerShare and have solar panels with powerwall 2 don’t hold your breath. I got the truck in March and never received the hardware or software. Tesla vehicle service referred me to the powerwall team and they referred me to Tesla vehicle service. ?

Side panels need to be at least partially removed

Yes. I found exactly the same conditions. Thanks for the clear pictures and explanation.

Instructions for properly removing/reinstalling the bed side liners are in the repair manual. Best to follow those to avoid breaking clips, etc. They don’t have to all be completely removed, just enough to gain access. I’ll take photos if we do another one.

Remove the plastic side covers to gain access to the left and right cargo track rails and loosen their attaching screws. Then, using large screwdriver or short pry bar push the rails up as high as possible and retorque the attaching screws while applying good pressure. (Helps to have another...

I have both. The Plaid with track package has been parked since I got the truck.

Yes, 3000 miles no issues. Also have a Plaid with the track package. It's been parked since the truck came on March 30.

Same here. I’m taking the side panels off to try and understand what’s wrong.

First, some background. We own seven Teslas, A Cybertruck, performance M3, 2 Model X's, one M3, 2 Plaids, (one with the track package). We are in the business of providing out of warranty related, unscheduled repairs on Teslas since 2014 and nearly everything else since 1978. That's longhand for...
