    Tesla is buying back my lemon plaid

    My 2023 MSP w/ 21s doesn't have either of these issues, though I do run on the freeway at "normal" height, not low

    2023 - Has anyone received a fully working/no issue MSP?

    Mine is a HW4 2023 car, made and bought in mid March...car has been great through first 3,000 miles....couple rattles that I've mostly been able to fix but drives really well, power is unrivaled and it's a comfy place to spend a few hours....for reference it's our second Tesla, European...

    Has anyone gone from a 911 to a Plaid?

    Sorry to hear this. In Cali Tesla mobile is awesome...just got a flat from a bolt that absolutely wrecked my tire and Tesla were there in ten minutes with a brand new rear tire (he was going to repair but we both agreed it was shot) that they fitted, and I was on my way 20 minutes later.

    Plaid Regrets?

    I'm definitely not getting into an online contest about who has more $. But if we're going off your logic you could've bought a Bolt and saved and invested $90k 😉

    Plaid Regrets?

    hahahah this is a good one....teeny bit slower? Tell me you've never driven a Plaid without telling you've never driven a Plaid winner right here. Model Y Performance is a nice car....but it's only fast from the lights and falls open its face after that even compared to things like M3s let...

    HW4, Phoenix and Glass Roof update

    My 3/10 build (picked up 3/14) came with the much lighter (10% VLT) roof glass and HW4 with Phoenix. So assume all cars built afterwards have this too, in fact later Feb build US cars with the near rear appliqué definitely did too, but there may have been some outliers that did not. If nervous...

    Who's getting the normal steering wheel?

    I find the new OEM Tesla wheel makes the Plaid far more approachable....driving my friend's '22 with the Yoke it felt like I was hanging on when I floored it, much more serene with the wheel on my '23... but I appreciate YMMV and people should use whatever makes them happiest

    Switch From 19" Wheels to 21" Wheels

    Yes, absolutely. You can use your main screen to tell the car the change you've made too. That will inform the computer for range etc and the image of your car.

    Model S Ultra Red Waiting Room

    Mid-late Feb onwards build has the new roof glass, so double check the VIN and factory gate date. I posted pics looking out through the new roof a couple pages back on this thread. I posted pics of my 507xx VIN, built March 10, Plaid S that I picked up last week. Absolutely loving it.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    It's supposed to be the same as the previous....it's not hot here right now so I can't speak to this but previously an MYP which had the lighter glass and it handled 100 degree SoCal sun just fine so not anticipating any issues....if there are I'll tint but I highly doubt it'll be needed based...

    EXACT same problem, thank you for posting. I can post my twin issue when I get it back from tint. Here's the new roof pic from my car as promised, taken at 9am this morning. Seems it's gone from c.2% to c.10% VLT. Both pics taken inside looking out though the new roof glass. Can see the...

    Got to thoroughly look inside and outside the car before picking up today. Has the new sunroof which is light like the Y roof but seems to still offer good sun protection, much improved. Steering wheel feels great to my hands and doesn't block the binnacle. Has the vein but it's not too...

    High thermal capable brake calipers

    the new rear screen is a huge improvement, modernizes the whole rear and the move from 8" to 9.4" offers a much bigger viewable area than those numbers would indicate.

    BMW folks comments on Tesla

    Speed, software and usability (hatch, range, charge at home) are the keys to Tesla for me. I don't use FSD or superchargers FWIW. S and X are smooth and quiet, 3 and Y less so. S is a nicer place to spend time than a new 5-series, and a lot less dated feeling, but it's definitely less luxury...

    BMW folks comments on Tesla

    I've owned two M3s and two M5s in the last ten years. When they were naturally aspirated and far unique from the regular series cars I loved them, but the last one was FI and it did nothing for me. I currently don't own a BMW and while I still think they make perfectly nice cars, I'm picking up...

    It's should all be listed on the listing for your vehicle on Tesla-info, located on the bottom right after you click on your listing on the inventory page....I saved my link as they are hidden once sold But your build will almost certainly be HW4 looking at your VIN BTW black w cream interior...

    Can't get right click to show anything but Tesla-info says re my vehicle: "AP HW4" and "Radar V2 fitted". 5073XX vin. Comparing, older 2023 vins say "AP HW3" and "no radar fitted"

    Haha to the seats and panels, I sure hope so without wanting to trouble you, please walk me through or link how to look at the image source code as I'm quite the luddite when it comes to computers. I have a Mac and an iPhone if that helps with what to do. I'd to know what it says.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    It is. And to add to it, my SA just called about picking up my MSP with a factory gate date of March 10....without prompting he said "it's a Hardware 4 car" and has the new roof, so he sounds more informed than many of them, but he wasn't clued in on the new radar. I'm getting it Thursday late...

    Upgrade from Model Y to Model S Worth IT?

    Moving from 2020 MYP to 2023 MSP this week so I'll have more to add later, but your bullet points are some of the reasons we're making the switch. You pay for it, but it's a big difference between the two vehicles.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Yah I think so, Tesla-info's info is spot on. My Vin ends in 5073XX so it was only built two days ago, but I'll check for the cams and new roof before accepting. Seat wrinkles too :)

    New S/X sunroof- 5x more light in

    Agree w dmurphy and I love this update, always preferred the lighter glass on the Model Y, and I'm in sunny Southern California (currently not so sunny :)). Previous S roof was too dark it was kinda hard to see the palm trees😁 With the additional $5k, HW4 cameras and now this I'm glad I didn't...

    I can see this and agreed it isn't acceptable, it's the other things you're talking about that nobody else can see but you. Just take a deep breath and remember it's a mass produced car and none of this is serious enough to be keyboard warrioring

    I can't see the alignment issue with the hatch in the above pics....what is the issue can you circle it? I agree Tesla quality control is far from great, but this seems like the kinda of thing 99% of people don't notice as I've just spent 30 seconds looking at each pic and can't see what is wrong

    another $5k drop

    I was in exactly the same boat yesterday (13k discount) so don't waste your time negotiating more, they won't budge (unless one day the Demo cars randomly do get reduced again)....I decided to pass as the value just wasn't there anymore for me vs a brand new build HW4 car....but it is, albeit...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Bear in mind the caveat that while I have a Plaid on order, I do not own one, so my experience is limited to around 500 total miles in my friends 2022. Body roll not noticeable to me, but limited time in the twisties. You can feel the weight, don't think a sway bar is needed but Taycan will...

    Tesla really Tesla'ing these past 24 hours....demo cars that looked a great value had their discount halved after Sunday's $5k "price adjustment"....CS say they won't make change to the vehicle price for demos at this time....additionally nobody at CS can answer about HW4 with upgraded cameras...

    Adore it, my first GT3 since the 996 edition. Yes it's a stick w/wing and I got very lucky as my friend is far wealthier than me and has a plethora of P-cars so his dealer sold him his GT3 at list after we specced it together. I bought it from him for the same MSRP price inc tax as he has the RS...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I have a 992 GT3, so with that as the benchmark, my opinion is the Plaid handling is just fine for a big sedan, grip levels are very high and it's stable at speeds up to 130. At 150+ it starts to get a little light (two drag strip runs in my friends 2022, so not a world of experience) and I...

    Larger 9.4" rear screen manufacturer date?

    Do all MY2023 cars get the 9.4" screen? It seems MY23 includes cars built in November and December. Four out of four Dec build all have the new rear screen (inc the one I have ready to pick up )with the much thinner bezels than the 8" but I haven't been able to see if the November builds get it...

    does refreshed model S come with ultra sonic sensor?

    Yup, MY23s built in Dec 2022 have USS...the MY23s built in 2023 with the new rear badging do not. USS essential for our garage as it's wide and tall but fairly short fitting the S by only about a foot or so, concrete parking stops as noted above I don't leave to sensors due to the low height.

    This is only one I took other than the Vin pic. Cameras looked v similar to current setup. Maybe it isn't HW4, but it's definitely a 2023 year of build car that can't be sold until 3/1...will find out soon if they are HW4/3.5/3
