We're a 25+ year customer with State Farm (which means we're old ... LOL), accident free and zero tickets/points. In a safe neighborhood, extremely low crime rate and off-street parking. All those things are net positives. On the net negative side, NJ isn't exactly known for low insurance...

Yikes. My Model S was $832/6 months as of our February 2024 renewal. With State Farm. Just replaced the S with a Rivian R1S, so curious to see how that prices out relative to the Model S. Will let you all know.

I’m about to trade in my S Refresh LR (2021) on a R1S Friday. Low $40s was the best offer I could find. Car’s yours if you want it by then and match the tradein. :)

Unfortunately I don’t know what’s changed with the layoffs, but Paramus has historically been one of the best delivery centers. That said …. I have a Rivian R1S on order. Read into that what you will.

My guess (and it's only a guess!) is that they pinched a wire or wiring harness when upgrading the computer from HW2.5 to HW3. It's in a bit of a tricky spot under the dash and would be easy enough to do.

There’s no “damage” to speak of. It’s purely a quality-of-life thing.

This is fantastic - glad it worked out so well for you!! Keep these beauties rolling for another 200,000 miles. Enjoy the ride!

It's a different vibration than this one for sure, but I just swapped my summer tires & Gemini wheels back on ... and have a tire vibration again. It was nice driving all winter without it - I'm going to have to take my wheels in for a balancing and roundness check.

If only that were true. Jan 2023 - purchase used 2021 Model S. Took even more deprecation hit than new cars did. Worth less than half that now. New only for me from now on. No sense dealing with used issues, growing pain issues and taking such a depreciation hit in the process.

I'll never buy a used car again. My '21 Model S LR is the first used car I bought since being a poor college kid, and it was a mistake. It's taken me a year to shake the demons from my Model S LR. Nothing major, just small stuff that's needed adjusting, correcting and silencing. But I still...

C’mon now, let’s be real. The only seats that qualify as mint are unfarted. The rest … are just used. 😄

Yes, officially a retrofit will be available.

Waiting for my wife to get home so I can push the install on her Classic X ... This entire thread should be an apology to Tesla at this point. 5 pages of nonsense hand-wringing over nothing.

I just put it under Other/Other. Never had an issue. Just tell them you’re looking to place a parts-only order for part# XYZ …

I really wish I liked sunroofs. I've had more than my share of cars with them, and just find I never open them. They can go for a year at a time without being opened at all... glad someone does though!
