    2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

    Me too.... so far, so good though.

    2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

    Update: Just completed my 8th service appointment. They reinstalled the entire rear window because the seal was not flushed which caused the loud wind whistling. This is my 3rd rear window and hopefully the last. They also installed materials to reduce the loose rear headrest rattles which...

    New Model S Plaid/LR. whistling wind noise at 79+ MPH

    Another update... Made the trunk adjustments and it helped, a bit. But still have the whistling noise. Tried having someone point an air compressor into all the seems while I was in the trunk listening for air leaks. Could not find any :(

    2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

    Agreed. I also read they do SXM over the Internet using LTE instead of via satellite. Cannot confirm this though. But it would explain the poor connection and constant drops as the car moves.

    New Model S Plaid/LR. whistling wind noise at 79+ MPH

    Just a quick update. The "envelope test" in this link was brought to my attention: One of the 4 adjustment points did not pass the test and was not touching. I added a small bolt behind the adjuster so it would not stay loose and loose my adjustment. Now all 4 points pass the "envelope...

    New Model S Plaid/LR. whistling wind noise at 79+ MPH

    Thanks!! See below: Yes it varies with speed. Starts around 50-70 mph, never hear it under those speeds. It gets very loud and everyone in the car gives me a wtf is that? Is a window or the trunk open?? lol Yes it does, trunk closes all the way tight and I can hear the latch engage. No...

    2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

    You know what’s ironic about my experience? I’ve actually had pretty good experiences with service in Paramus, NJ. Equally as good as BMW previously. (although one slip up when they forgot to tighten the seat bolt). At what point should I consider a buy back? NJ lemon law says 14 days out...

    New Model S Plaid/LR. whistling wind noise at 79+ MPH

    Folks, I'm still struggling with this problem. My "whistling" noise is 100% from the rear hatch somewhere. I tried taping off all the areas in question and no such luck. At last service appointment, the noise ironically stopped when I drove with the tech! Of course, soon as I got home, it...

    2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

    Folks, I want to love this car. I really do. Would not want to go back to gas for sure! But I wanted to post my experiences over the my first 18 months and 18k miles of ownership. For reference, I have a 2022 Model S LR purchased brand new with 6 miles on the odometer at delivery. At some...

    SIRIUS XM PROBLEMS (AGAIN), THIS TIME WITH FAVORITES

    Looks like this worked for me too. Appreciate the heads up on this one. This was something that annoyed me since I got the car! I did have to delete and re-add all favorites for them to start scrolling correctly. Now hopefully they can fix the fact that SXM skips and buffers so often, LOL...

    Who's getting the normal steering wheel?

    Mine changed soon as the tech was finished with the install.

    Who's getting the normal steering wheel?

    I tried calling Tesla support and my local service center. Both had no idea other then to be patient. The appointment will stick once they have it on hand.

    Who's getting the normal steering wheel?

    My mobile appointment for 4/3 just moved to 4/17. They still don't have the wheel that I ordered. Still no ETA from Paramus service, Tesla support or Tesla shop. I've called, texted and emailed them all.

    Who's getting the normal steering wheel?

    I just asked the service center if my wheel has arrived yet and they told me no. They said they are backordered and taking these week by week as inventory arrives and demand very high (although I ordered before it said "out of stock" in the Tesla online store). So, it's possible that my Monday...

    Who's getting the normal steering wheel?

    At least they were proactive. I saw someone above experienced where the mobile ranger actually showed up, but without a wheel.
