My oct 8th delivered MSP has this frunk problem. It popped but I couldn't pull it open. Had to press the the open button a few times in order to get it to fully unlatch. Click click click click and then go back outside. Problem gone now since I got the Hansshow powered frunk installed today...

Hmm? It's just in the main menu in the App for me.

Not an X Plaid, but these are my rates for Tesla Insurance in Virginia for 2023 S Plaid. I'm trying not to let it bother me that Tesla is watching so I drive how I want. You can see the default quote is safety score 90 at ~200 a month but my actual will be around 140 with a 97 score. A 99...

This is probably true hehe.

I agree with all these points. Luckily, I'm short, 5'6", so my MS driver's seating position allows for enough space under the seat for rear passengers to accommodate. The Y has a TON more backseat room, at least it felt like that, and driver visibility is worlds better. Coming from a M3P, I...

Dont think so. Ive been trying to watch for it. The only thing I feel is at exactly 17 mph when im first leaving home. Then i dont notice anything after that. Just smooth silent GForces slamming my face off.

I came from a Model 3 P white/white and went to Model S blue/cream 19". I really liked the white and it kept up for 4 years without a blemish. I also like the cream a lot but mostly chose it just because it was different than my last car. I opted for 19's to give me the freedom to choose my...

I'm about 600 miles into my plaid now. I think my original clunk clunk noises were from the J1772 adapter in the frunk flying around. Did not know they put it there... didn't try to reproduce by moving it to a spot where it would fly again though. Did something unexpected today. I drove my...

I typed out a few different logical reasons to keep your Y and erased them before posting since I also recently upgraded from my 2019 Model 3 P to Model S with noise being one of my main complaints. Small complaints anyways... road noise, wind noise, and kinda bumpy ride. Atlhough my summer...

holy smokes this is amazing, good job. its fascinating to me that I would not have even considered this as a potential option. it shows how comfortable I am with cars haha.

I just got mine and thought about it but won't get it until I decide to track it. If you go to drag strip, probably get it. I don't think I'd ever use it for commuting. Even now the times that I max the pedal, I have given myself enough space to regen brake back to cruising speed or very light...

This is not exactly what you asked for, but it has a lot of interesting information. https://tesla-info.com/model-history/MS The one you missed at Tesla tap is this one, which is also not exactly hehe. https://teslatap.com/model-s-comparison-for-2021/

I'm banking on my recently delivered plaid to be the car that I drive for the next 10 years. It ticks all my needs at the moment haha. Who knows what will happen in the future. I'm 250 miles into this car and I'm pretty damned satisfied thus far. I would advise waiting as long as you...

Could not reproduce the grinding / clunking noise that happened during the 1st mile of me driving it on the very 1st medium acceleration. It happened twice. Loud the first time, not so loud the second time. Gone. I'm gonna pay attention to see if it's something that only occurs if the car is...

When test driving with the yoke, I really liked it. Well, it was the look and feel that was amazing. The view of the dash and interior I felt was hugely improved. However, I ended up getting the wheel for mine because I like to hold one hand at 12 o'clock when I cruise hehe. My wife will also...

Picked mine up today. Looked for damage but didn't find anything of note. 8 miles on it. Car inside building during inspection kinda nice. Hitting moderate to high acceleration I heard some kind of grinding, felt very close to drivers seat but cant tell. None at low acceleration and none at 60...

Interesting information in this thread. I've always struggled using Invisible Glass on the inside repeatedly and didn't like the haziness from my windshield. I will definitely pay more attention now when I pickup my S after I let it off gas a little bit. It bothered me enough in my 3 that I...

I ordered the 19's. I've never tracked a car before but I'm starting to learn now and using racing sim and will _hopefully_ try a track sometime in the near future for fun. I am researching some 20" wheels now as well. Probably square. Won't change until I run the 19's for some time most...

I'm scheduled for Sunday Oct 8th! holy cow its happening! (Ordered 9/15)

I think in that case, waiting until you see something that pushes you to make a decision is probably ok. Maybe you have gotten over the impulse of buying the car and can now think objectively hehe.

Evaluate how much emotional damage you will take if trade in for $2,350 less than what originally made you happy about at original order time Evaluate how much emotional damage you will take if you go through the process to sell to a private party to get $43,000 or more. Evaluate how much...

Nice! I ordered a day before you but didn't get the delivery text yet. However, today the window changed from Oct 6-13 to Oct 3-10. interesting. Moved closer 3 days. All the talk about inspecting the cars in this thread makes me nervous. Previously, I would just walk around the car for 10...

Two weeks ago I test drove a new Model S LR at the service center and the whine was VERY noticeable. This was the first time driving an S for me so I didn't know if it was normal or not. A few days later, I test drove a _different_ model S LR and it had absolutely zero whine. These were...

I also used SnapPlate on my model 3. I ended up using the security screw which meant that I never took the plate off because I was too lazy to unscrew it. Fast forward 4 years to selling my model 3, I took it through a flagship carwash for the first time (vs hand wash) and forgot to remove it...

Checking all day. Waiting waiting... I mean it hasn't been very long for me haha. Less than 2 weeks since order. I'm using Tesla insurance right now and can't add the vehicle until delivery date assigned. Can't see price yet. I expect to get smacked by excitement when I get the date and then...

Nice! its been 5 days since my VIN and nothing has changed. My phone probably gonna explode soon from me checking the app too many times.

Is the correct strategy to order now and to reserve the current price and if it drops, you get the lowest price and try to delay your delivery as much as possible?

I don't know for sure but I would say yes. When I was looking at inventory, putting my VA zip code for cars listed very far away like Texas would sometimes still allow me the opportunity to reserve it. Only some cars though, which I assumed means some cars are slated for transfer across the...

Wow, it took that long to get a trade in offer. Sucks. I'm in the same boat. Well, I'm waiting for my offer still so just basically waiting to get absolutely rekt and then go to Carmax. Same with financing, you can't even try financing before ordering. Kind of a weird process we have to deal with.

OP, what was the timeline? How much time passed between the initial estimate, time of placing order, actual trade in offer?

There were a handful of demo plaids yoke with 21s prior to sept 1st on roughly 9,000 discounts that kept that discount at the price drop. 87300 from 96490. I had one being pushed on me prior to price drop and the discount was maintained after price drop. Wasn't the interior color I wanted but...

Yep! Got steering wheel. Forgot to put in original post.

9/22 VIN assigned! However, delivery estimate changed to October 6 - 13. They texted me. All that APP checking for no reason heh.

9/15 ordered - MSP blue cream 19 9/19 september - october delivery changed to october - november 9/20 est date set to sept 28 - 30 Have my 2019 M3P waiting for trade in offer but already applied financing and stuff so just gonna assume they will wait a bit and then just kick my butt on that...

If you need someone to convince you to get Plaid, don't get it. There is no logical reason to get it. If you have no personal or emotional reason, easy skip.

Very curious how long it will take for used prices to drop. I'm assuming they have to, unless they think Tesla is bluffing and will bring prices back up soon. I'm checking inventories every day now haha.

This was the motivator for me. I had to have my white interior heh. Otherwise, I would have been all over the stealth.

When I was purchasing mine in September, they had 2 stealths with black interior (DC metro area) and the sales agent he hadn't seen white interiors for these. I was dead set on white/white so ended up getting the standard P+. I bought LR AWD and returned it a few days later to buy the P+. The...

Hmm. Haven't really tested the range yet. I did enable the auto-open and fold mirrors when I get home and it seems to work ok. By the time I get to the garage door its open enough to enter. After I back out of the garage, it closes nicely. Although, the mirrors stay folded a bit longer than I...

Just joined the model 3 club. I ordered Homelink through the Tesla shop and got order confirmation on September 25th. Did not get any kind of shipping notice or anything. A few other items in that same order shipped but no mention of what was happening with the garage opener. At this point...
