Overhead Console Detached and Falling

[CTnoir]

Hi fellow CT people, I was lowering my sun visor and the overhead console with driver selector and Hazard button came detached like nothing was holding it up.
Has anyone experienced that?

I don't have my truck and haven't even placed the final order but yes people have had this issue reported in the past although it's been a while since I have seen people talking about it. Somehow they did report it was fixed, though as I recall... maybe one of them will chime in here.

Cheers

Here is an example of it happening to someone else.

I was able to fix this myself. I filed off just a tad of the white clips where they grip to the frame to make gripping plane angle sharper. Then installed small rubber stuff under the base of each white clip to make them always wanted to expand. These 2 mods cased clips to grip stronger - has been holding strong for couple of months now

Yes this happened to me last week but was able to swing by Tesla shop and they fixed it in about 30 min

Thank you! It’s kinda a bummer because I literally just picked up the truck from having mirrors and bed sail piece replaced.. Are you waiting for the issues to get fixed before ordering?o

Oh that’s good to know it’s an easy fix. I have an appointment for when I’m back from vacation. Thank you

I was an early adopter with the Model S. This time around I’m letting others be the excited guinea pigs while I wait out the growing pains.

Thanks. This is first mention of roof console with buttons/controls. I haven't seen that on any video.

Poorly engineered. The load from the magnet visor connectors needed something more stout to connect to. Same thing happened to me. Simple fix at Tesla they rework the clips and it never happened again. For now, move the visors slightly off the center box so they are not connected, press up and reconnect box until service. Don’t reattach visors or it will fail again (speaking from experience).

Definitely not engineered properly! Thank you for the tip, I’ll try that

The Scottsdale SC replaced my front windshield, but 1/8th of an inch too low. The ceiling shifter top end first fits into the metal roof bar, and then clips into its space with white clips and a plastic stud that inserts into a hole just above the cab’s camera. Because my windshield was installed 1/8th of an inch too low, the plastic stud wouldn’t insert into its mounting hole. Because the shifter was not supported it was falling down. The SC re-replaced the entire front windshield, but in the correct position for the plastic stud to insert into its mounting home. This allowed the white clips to properly insert, making the shift solid in its proper installation.

I’m sure the SC can fix it!
