    My Tesla Model S Plaid

    Well I had a single port from a previous project but then decided to add a second one but couldn't find the same curved trumpet one so I added this one they're both 3 inches The grilles are to keep stuff from falling into the box

    Future classic?

    Who cares about the future? The Model S Plaid is already the EV version of the Classic American Muscle Car. A big engine in a passenger sedan chassis. Short of adding compressed air rockets it's at the limit of how fast you can make a production street car.

    Tesla model Y road noise / wind noise Seeking Advice on excessive wind noise!

    I tried the rubber band around the windshield and roof and it helped but kept coming out so I cut the rubber band and used it on the sides and siliconed around the windshield. There's still some wind noise but it's significantly less.

    Tesla model Y road noise / wind noise Seeking Advice on excessive wind noise!

    Other than some wind noise my windshield is perfectly fine. There's nothing I would be claiming on my warranty. No waves or distortion If it gets hit by a rock then my insurance would cover it. This fix is nothing that would cause any warranty issues.. When I got the car from Carmax it had some...

    Tesla model Y road noise / wind noise Seeking Advice on excessive wind noise!

    . The piano wire would maybe take a little more effort to cut the seal but the silicone is not hard and the seam I didn't promote it with primer. You would have to clean out the silicone but that's not hard.. Then re apply it after the windshield glue dries for 24-48 hrs. I see my pictures ok...

    Tesla model Y road noise / wind noise Seeking Advice on excessive wind noise!

    To save money Tesla doesn't use moldings around the windshields. On my model S Plaid I filled the channel around the windshield with black marine silicone and it helped a lot with the wind noise on the highway. I went over it twice.

    Lack of accesories

    I added a piece of peel and stick weatherstrip above the AC grille towards the windshield. It doesn't affect the heating or cooling. A also duct taped up the hinge pockets for noise reduction. I made a cover for the frunk out of 2" insulation to go over my tire kit. Press fit with...

    My free FSD trial ended yesterday but the cool enhanced graphics are still there. I like the graphics but never use cruise control or the FSD. I like driving the car spiritedly and only drive locally for 15-20 minutes at a time. The 99.00 subscription price was tempting but I thought I would...

    Knee pain after coming from Toyota Land Cruiser

    If you get the yoke steering wheel on the Model S you can turn it upside down which will give you 6" more clearance to get in and out. For me this is one of the best features of the yoke wheel, making it a lot more comfortable getting in and out of the car.

    Used Plaid market... Are 2021 Model to avoid ?

    No I bought it used from Carmax with 16k miles in August 2023. They brought it in on a car carrier from California. I traded in my other 2014 Jeep GC SRT that had a SC 426 with 10 psi of boost. Tesla doesn't want modded cars for trade ins.

    Used Plaid market... Are 2021 Model to avoid ?

    450 It's a Plaid. I wasn't interested in a Long Range. I only bought it for it's insane acceleration as a Muscle Car.

    Mine is a dec 2021 car and had the dark oak trim and it was fine but I like the gloss Carbon Fiber better. The Tesla CF is matte which doesn't look as nice to me.

    Used Plaid market... Are 2021 Model to avoid ?

    For 950.00 you can get a Glossy or Matte Carbon Fiber overlay kit that is easy to install and looks like OEM. Personally I like the gloss instead of the matte except for the front console piece in matte that I like better. The front console piece is extra and not in the kit...

    I turned FSD off and the graphics went back to what they were before. I'd pay 10.00 a month for the better graphics but not 200.00 since I'll never use FSD since I enjoy driving the car and don't need a Nanny.
