    2024 Model S seat adjustment issue

    Hi there, thanks for your attention to this thread. Yes, indeed. The fundamental issue is that a recline seat (top) does not fold forward enough, causing you to always sit 'back'. While you can adjust the seat bottom tilted towards the front, doing so increases your seat 'height' too much, which...

    FSD AND FUSC Transfer Offer this Quarter?

    I just traded Model S (2019) with FSD and FUSC to Model X in Dec 2023. I also traded my Model Y with FSD to Model S Plaid last month (Jan 2024). At time Tesla only offered FUSC only. I could have got both cars with FSD. It does not seem to be fair to the customers who took the initial FUSC...

    2024 Model S seat adjustment issue

    I recently took delivery of the Model S Plaid and immediately noticed that the front seats (both driver and passenger sides) do not incline forward as much as those in other vehicles. The recline only tilts up to around 100 degrees or so (measured from 0 degrees at horizontal), giving the...

    Owners delivery stories, photos and first impressions

    After 1-1/2 week of driving a new MS, there are several issues. 1. When a rear hatch closes, it hits the rear bumper (left side), left a scratch line. it turned out that the left rear side of a body was not assembled correctly (misaligned) with the rear bumper. - clearly a QC issue. 2. Front...

    Owners delivery stories, photos and first impressions

    Thanks, Austin for the message. I believe in Elon's vision and Tesla as a company. So even with 'not-so-positive' experience, I am having with my new MS, I see this as one of the opportunities to inform them with respect. Since the issues were pretty obvious and it was more than 1/8...

    I was a delivery specialist for many years- Ask Me Anything

    I took my 2nd MS a few weeks ago. originally scheduled at Marina Del Ray but changed to Burbank center. Marina Del Ray center is great for the first time, in my opinion, but you may feel "you will be rushed to take the delivery". I must say Fit, Finish, and QC has 'decreased', comparing from...

    Blog Consumer Reports Now Recommends Model 3 After Software Improved Braking

    Kudo to everyone. Even ‘consumer market’ forgets their original mission. You can’t compare old ICE and a fully electric car like TESLA. What is the recommemdation? Of course TESLA. Maybe they can give a fair review in 5 years when their comparisons are also electric. I do give them a credit...

    Model S Rear wheel Caliper (single or dual)

    Make sense. I thought about it last night that Tesla perhaps relies less on those brake calipers as the electric motor(s) acts as a main braking force? I understand they did not just get rid of it for the sake of a cost-saving... Anyway, interesting subject, don't you think?

    Model S Rear wheel Caliper (single or dual)

    Thank you guys for the clarification. I personally loved the look of the double calipers but I agreed it is the best to combine into one.

    Model S Rear wheel Caliper (single or dual)

    I took my 2nd Tesla MS delivery today. 100D AP2.5 after I had 85D for 3 years. After I took the delivery, I noticed that there was only one brake caliper on the rear wheel. My last MS85D had 2 calipers so as a friend of mine who took 100D in past has a 2nd caliper on the rear wheel. Is it a...

    Two Years with the Tesla Model S

    Thank you for the insightful message. I also agree, the market often react overly positive or overly negative from a researchers. They often missing the entire point. Was the world better from before TESLA and after TESLA motors? IMO, the answer is absolutely YES. Go Mobile! Go Electric...

    Model S sightings in Japan / 日本で見たモデルS

    Hiroshy, カリフォリニア州 ロサンジェルスにてTESLA Motorsをサポートしています。現在モデルSを所有しモデルXを購入予定です。 日本のウェブサイトを検索したところ、テスラに関する情報を勘違いしたニュアンスでメッセージを残している記事を見て残念に思います。 理由は幾つかありますが、99%の情報は実際に所有していない方らのメッセージであったり、IPの発信地をサーチしてみたら◯ヨタ市だったりと、現時点では正確の情報がつたわりにくい状況になっています。...
