    Plaid Sport Bucket Seats

    Unfortunately, Tesla had no interest in our current seats.

    Plaid Sport Bucket Seats

    True. Remember though that with the round wheel retro Tesla gave the round wheel airbag free and took the yoke airbag back. We will see if they will discount for the same reason with the seats.

    Plaid Sport Bucket Seats

    It probably was based off the old prices. But the new ones won’t be cheaper. Maybe the same at best. I wonder if a retrofit would swap airbags which may save some costs. Time will tell. More than likely this won’t be worth the cost and won’t be anywhere near as good as an old track...

    I’ve been told $3,500 for each front seat which would be $7,000. I haven’t priced the new rears yet.

    Model S/X Retrofit steering wheel sold out already

    Put it in a service request via the app and they will give you a price quote and ask if you wish to proceed.

    2023 upgrade to a bigger rear screen?

    Clearly they are mistaken. I’ve installed 3 of these now in 2021 and 2022 models. When the Northern California eBay seller had these for $200 it was the best deal. They were brand new screens.

    Steering angle sensor reset? Had alignment done.

    Steering angle sensor needs to be reset (after a proper alignment). This can be achieve in the service menu.

    Clunky noise after carbon ceramic brake installation

    I had a clunk. Turned out the drivers front brake line mounting bolt was missing casing the line and metal mounting brace to be flopping around and into anything in its way.

    I installed the new rear screen myself for less then $200 out of pocket. Waiting for the holiday update now !

    2023 upgrade to a bigger rear screen?

    eBay business seller by the name of Alameda Electronics from Northern California. I know they have gotten a couple restocks since then. Part # is 1673461-00-E Not sure links for sales are allowed here. I’ll PM you the link.

    Model S Plaid Track Package Waiting Room

    Track Pack AP Racing calipers are part # 1420645-10-C (rear left) and 1420646-10-C (rear right). Brake fluid is BASF Hydraulan 406ESI part # 1012041-12-C and you’ll need about 2 liters for a good flush. 1 liter to just bleed. The Caliper bolts are reusable. Why not just have your calipers...

    Plaid 21” rear tire woes - factory defect?

    In low your camber would be greater than -2 degrees as is. This is where camber arms would allow you complete adjustability. Any alignment should be preformed in the height you normally will drive in. No need to go into service mode. Just put the suspension in the height you normally...

    Model S Plaid Track Package Waiting Room

    Builds 3/22 and prior will need all four corner updated knuckles. Supposedly these actually provide a better ride and are used on builds 4/2022 and after. The kit also comes with new Ventilated dust shields and copper infused brake lines as well a two new harnesses for the track packs rear...

    Plaid 21” rear tire woes - factory defect?

    was this measured in low ? Thats a lot of camber in low if you have adjustable arms.
  18. Awiner

    Plaid 21” rear tire woes - factory defect?

    If you are -1 rear camber in medium you would more than likely be approaching -2.5+ in low and even more excessive tow out (approaching negative toe) in the rear in low.

    Model S Plaid Brakes Are Terrible!

    The newer pads a a tad bit better I am told. Flushing out the dot 3 brake fluid and replacing with dot 4 makes a bigger difference. Since 1/11/2023 builds, all S and X plaids have been switched to dot 4 factory fill.

    ‘22 Plaid tire wear update

    This is normal. The front left will sit a wee bit lower because of you in it. Wearing though harnesses is NOT normal though and the harness should be routed away from wheels/tires and suspension components.

    2023 upgrade to a bigger rear screen?

    I posted the Facebook link where I shared my install a couple months ago. I soruced the new display from a seller on eBay whom had 20 units at $195.00 each. The install was simple using removal and replacement instruction from the service manual. Took about 30 minutes going slowly as not...

    I have the track pack and can confirm they are AP racing calipers.

    You mean knuckles. Pre 3/2002 builds needed new knuckles for clearance of the bigger rotors and calipers.

    Plaid 21” rear tire woes - factory defect?

    True. I used lowering links to actually even get the car to sit about .75” lower to so in half shaft life. Adjustable rear camber arms were then installed and a alignemwnt while the vehicle was in low per N2itive specs. Handles and looks great and tire wear hadn’t been an issue.

    Will go into low at highway speeds. You can manually keep raising it back to medium.

    They aren’t light and they was a surprise. But they are built to handle track conditions where they absolutely don’t want failures. Track wheels aren’t light. Look at BBS weights.

    Model S Plaid Track Package Waiting Room

    Finally got someone to weigh the Zero G track pack 20” wheels and tires. 59.5lb - front 62.5lb - rear That would then translate to: Front wheel weighs 29.5 lbs (tire is 30 lbs.) Rear wheel weighs 33.5 lbs (tire is 29 lbs.)

    2023, 7th week .30 version build. Full Self Driving beta build v11.4.7 Those of use in the full self driving beta aren’t on the newest firmware as so far FSD Beta is ahead in older standard firmware.

    I’m on 2023.7.30 with FSD beta at 11.4.7. Therefore I’m lagging behind on the FSD branch.

    Tesla corrected their pricing error today. CCB only back to $15,000.

    Model S Plaid Track Package Waiting Room

    Correct and no you can’t get telsa to unlock the 200mph without the CCB upgrade. As of right now you get the wheels and tires included in that 20k too.

    They should be called out on the estimate. Sometimes it takes a while until the SC runs your vin to realize they are needed parts.

    For what it’s worth I installed the MPP master cylinder brace and it makes a great deal of improvement in a solid brake pedal feel.

    2023 Plaid "Refresh" Lowering Links / Spacers 22" Wheels

    No. At highway speeds the suspension will drop to low regardless.

    Plaid 21” rear tire woes - factory defect?

    Once the suspension drops for medium to low your camber likely will be in the -2 degree range and your toe will be close to 0 degrees and potentially even negative. Certainly upon acceleration the rear toe will go negative and that is what scrubs that rear tread to sidewall area. Have it...

    Plaid 21” rear tire woes - factory defect?

    The rear settings look perfect BUT what height was this measured and adjusted at? If not at the height you normally drive in (ie measured in medium and driven in low mainly) then the measured alignment and adjustments are all for not.

    Has your service center installed any Track Packs however? Or are they pushing every potential track packer off? If so no experience is being gained.

    Did they do an alignment and reset all height values. If you had links this makes your links at the length set the same height as having no links.
  48. Awiner

    Plaid 21” rear tire woes - factory defect?

    Too much negative toe. I don’t think your year has any adjustment on the toe arms so you’d have to install aftermarket toe arms. Would pay off quickly as the return on investment pays off quick with such expensive tires that don’t last many miles.
