$2500 for a battery box? Wow.Check out roamsat.com It actually CAN exist everywhere.
I have one, and I was in a crazy remote part of Borneo and was getting 300mbps without any issues.
$3200 with the roam dish. Plus $100 per month subscription. Grin.$2500 for a battery box? Wow.

Yeah. It’s much much more than that.$2500 for a battery box? Wow.
Worth every red cent.$3200 with the roam dish. Plus $100 per month subscription. Grin.
I’m sure in the future everyone will buy one. Why would you use TMobile to text over Starlink for free when you can spend so much more to carry around a twenty two pound box? Grin.Worth every red cent…
Somebody has to be the early adopters. Even if they get treated like "Sugar" by Tesla.I’m sure in the future everyone will buy one. Why would you use TMobile to text over Starlink for free when you can spend so much more to carry around a twenty two pound box? Grin.
SMS over satellite isn't quite 300mbps, but yeah. I mean in Elon time we will have mobile phones to satellite in 2050. Mind you I believe they've sent up 2 satellites that do SMS over Tmobile, so yeah, we are well on our way to eliminate that 22lb boxI’m sure in the future everyone will buy one. Why would you use TMobile to text over Starlink for free when you can spend so much more to carry around a twenty two pound box? Grin.
Wiki - Mega-consolidated delivery quality issues thread and checklist Probably your best bet.Hi,
Can someone point me to current delivery checklist for MSLR?
Thanks
Update: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 point, I've lived with you guys on this board through all these issues. I know I am not unique! However, I decided to post everything in one place. With the number of solid electric vehicles in the $80k-$100k on the market now, I could never imagine buying another Tesla after this experience and have no idea what to expect as this thing ages.
Here we go....
Annoying:
- 9½ month delivery delay from date of order.
- Car delivered in August with summer tires to a cold weather state. Needed to spend ~$1,600 to replace with all season tires (2) months after delivery. Summer tires are dangerous below 40 degrees and can fail.
- ~30-40% less actual range than advertised.
- 12 months after purchase, car was discounted new by ~$15k below my purchase price and resale value plummeted.
- Spent $700 to replace yoke with round steering wheel that was not available at time of order that later became a free option.
- (7) service appointments in the first (18) months of ownership.
Repairs:
- Major engine (front drive unit) failure at (6) months old, ~9k miles that took a week to repair.
- Car would not always turn off after exit, locking and walking away with key until opening and closing door several times. Service center determined the seat occupancy failed and was replaced. When I got the car back, one of the four bolts securing the driver’s seat to the floor was half tightened and the seat wobbled. I purchased a Torx Plus T45 bit and ½” rachet to secure the driver’s seat.
Build Quality:
- Car delivered with missing bolts securing both front wheel well materials – Loud noises and loose frontend materials leaving the dealership. Took (3) weeks to get a service appointment to correct.
- Loud rear seat rattles – Mostly fixed with a service appointment.
- Several internal trim pieces continue to rattle, squeak and make noise.
- Multiple panel gaps on exterior of the vehicle.
- The trunk hatch was rubbing up against the top of the rubber seal when opening to full height creating a loud squealing noise – Mobile service adjusted the seal and fixed. About a month later, it started again. Rear hatch needed to be reinstalled.
- The paint is very thin and chips easily.
- “Worm” in both the yoke and new steering wheel airbag.
- SiriusXM audio skips and buffers all the time more often than other vehicle.
- Very few cup or travel mugs fit into the tiny width cupholders.
- Several interior trim pieces have become loose – Fixed via service appointment:
- Loose housing behind swivel screen
- Loose rear headrests
- Loose rear seat latches
- Loose rear lower seat latches
- Interior ambient light brightness is barely visible.
- Loud wind whistling noise from rear of car at highway speeds – Service cannot locate.
Software Bugs:
- Loud electric whining noise while parked with continuous battery discharge – Fixed after a month via software update.
- Exterior loudspeaker randomly started blasting car audio in garage while parked and locked – Fixed after a month via software update.
- Mobile app would not connect to vehicle – Fixed after a week via software update.
- Inserted USB music stick would appear and disappear from user interface at random – Fixed after 3 months via software update.
- Saved seat location in Tesla Cloud Profile would occasionally reverts to a different location – Fixed after 6 months via software update.
- Blinker buttons would only activate 90% of the time when pressed – Fixed after 12 months via software update.
- USB stick inserted for Dashcam/Sentry mode would show “USB Error” occasionally on dash and would not work until car restarted – Fixed after 12 months via software update.
- Car radio slow to mute after answering an incoming phone call and caller would hear my music for several seconds before we could start talking – Fixed after 6 months via software update.
- SiriusXM favorites do not scroll in order using steering wheel toggle like every other audio interface, instead they change the channel sequentially up or down by one (i.e. channel 2, channel 3, channel 4 etc. etc.) – Fixed after 12 months via software update. 3 months later, broken again by another software update. Still unfixed.
- Auto wipers often default to the fastest setting during very light rain – Fixed after 18 months via software update.
Is it possible to reinstall just a partial rear window? I joke…. Hopefully it’s right this timeUpdate:
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 were a problem again. At this point, everything seems as it should. Hopefully, the last service appointment to work out all the kinks on this car.
I think the only issues remaining that impact 100% of the cars are the 21” rear tire wear and the cold start vibration on the plaid.
