    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Agree extremely helpful for poorly paved city streets and parking lot curbs/bumpstops especially at night. Like the improved steering wheel that you touch every time you drive, an enhancement like that makes a huge difference because you use it at a minimum 2x *every* time you drive it’s the...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    thank you. I’ve only seen white and black sport seats, not any cream out in the wild yet, unless you know differently? I wonder if they are removing cream as an option because 6 months geeeez something’s wrong. Although they wouldn’t have moved you up. Perhaps a vin comes any moment now and...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    This is concerning for sure. Most cars are being delivered <1-2 months max. What is your exact build? I was going to get cream for the first time but will just get white if it turns out cream causes a delivery issue.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I’ve thought about this every time I get a new Tesla and I just can’t do it. Even if it does address comfort, build quality, ride quality etc - the difference in tech, in updates, just in how Tesla approaches the technology vs the automotive aspect….just can’t do it. I’ll miss regular updates...

    Sports seats confirmed on Plaid waiting on Vin now

    the seats look great and a welcome difference from the previous seats, and especially the ones before them which were barely usable Post more pics of the seats and color combo plz. Enjoy!

    What am I getting with Plaid vs Long Range?

    Why is this person getting such a hard time for saying, as a parent with young kids, they prefer a minivan for road trips? You want to argue with them about how they raise their kids, or where they stop for food, or whatever else too? Do you all not understand that taking a road trip with kids...

    Plaid Sport Bucket Seats

    Good to know I’m about to place a plaid with cream interior order. Wonder what’s going on, I’ll poke around when I talk to sales this week.

    Are the 3P and plaid seats confirmed by someone who has sat in or owns both, exactly the same?

    What am I getting with Plaid vs Long Range?

    I an eagerly awaiting confirmation of the sport seats in the X. Other than Elon loosely referring to “the x and s plaid are great” with a picture of the new seats, we have nothing to go on here to tell us that the X will in fact get the sport seats.

    What Would Compel You To Upgrade to a Future Model X?

    Plaid Sport Bucket Seats

    honestly unless you get pleasure out of this, at what point do you just trade the car in for a new one, vs 10k+ and hours of time for just the seats? Retrofitting always seems like a great option until you actually price it out and get into the work. Especially when it isn’t supported by the OEM...

    What Would Compel You To Upgrade to a Future Model X?

    I don’t expect any major refresh in the next year+ but I could be wrong. The article is just speculation. S/X sales don’t do near the scale nor the profit even of 3/Y globally. The layoffs signal increased productivity is needed. Lots of cybertrucks to produce per sold orders. Robotaxi from a...

    What Would Compel You To Upgrade to a Future Model X?

    Yes this is huge for me. So in 2024 brand new X’s, this capability has been diminished - as in it doesn’t open the door all the way anymore, it just pops open but you still need to open it yourself? That sounds like a big step back, its prob my favorite thing about the X.
  14. T

    What Would Compel You To Upgrade to a Future Model X?

    I did not know that! Last X I drove was a 2020. Like all X’s I had driven before that, when you approach the car it pops the driver door open, you get in and put your foot on the brake and the door closes. Is that not how it works anymore?

    What Would Compel You To Upgrade to a Future Model X?

    Interesting to read the comments here. I love the yoke and love the auto-front-doors, and love the falcon doors. I’ve owned several teslas and am going to get another S or X in the coming weeks. Had an early CT order but decided to pass on it, it’s not for me. I’ll order an X the literal moment...

    Tesla releases New Yoke

    this is the wheel the car should have shipped with Good move by Tesla to replace these, gives me more faith they are beginning to understand the importance of taking care of customers and taking pride in the quality of what they produce

    Whatever happened to the front bumper camera and ambient lighting?

    1 - let’s hope the S seats are coming to the X plaid too 2 - would love any addl interior refinements - ambient light, better materials, etc. As soon as these 2 things are confirmed I’m placing my order. I think the x is the best car in the lineup by far.

    Who is waiting on the 2024 changes to order a Plaid?

    Elon posted the new seats and said: “The Model S & X Plaid (meaning, beyond ludicrous speed) are sublime” I don’t see why the X wouldn’t get them. A 9sec 1/4 mile SUV surely could use a bit more bolster support right?

    Who is waiting on the 2024 changes to order a Plaid?

    I completely disagree they look like any high end “performance sedan” seats. Not “sports car” seats. Further this car needs more supportive seating it is literally one of the quickest moving objects on any roadway. The bolsters look quite mild, as do the seat bottoms. Odds are they are same...

    Who is waiting on the 2024 changes to order a Plaid?

    This is what we used to call back in the day “magazine racing” No one outside of extreme speed enthusiasts *really* care if the Plaid accelerates .01 faster than a Porsche or a Lucid. What the MSP proved to the enthusiast community is cars have become “fast enough”. Anything much faster is a)...

    Who is waiting on the 2024 changes to order a Plaid?

    I too have thought about an eqs, taycan, something different. What I keep coming back to is my familiarity with, and ability to depend on, a few key features. Dog mode, a fully functioning app, and autopilot on the highway are 3 things that come to mind of non-negotiable i know I can depend on...

    Who is waiting on the 2024 changes to order a Plaid?

    I’m wanting the Cybertruck less and less while my order slot sits active. Too much attention, and it seems incomplete. I don’t want to be stopped on the road and followed, it’s a celebrity instagram car, not interested I want a comfortable cruiser where I can blend in. Fingers crossed for any...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Is there any pattern to the delays? Like you have CF trim or something and all the cars now being delivered don’t. Any rhyme/reason? I’ve heard this as well that something about late year orders there are delays that don’t seem to add up.

    Love the red 🤙 Is anyone’s order being unexpectedly delayed at this point? That would indicate a potential update in the line.

    Who is waiting on the 2024 changes to order a Plaid?

    Is anyone with active orders set to deliver in the next few weeks seeing their dates pushed out? If so that is a good indication that something is changing in the production line requiring a small delay. Is that happening?

    Who is waiting on the 2024 changes to order a Plaid?

    I hope so. My CT reservation just came up for order for Mar-May delivery. I’m leaning towards just getting another plaid instead of the CT, the CT draws too much attention. Would LOVE a plaid+ or updated plaid, it’s been my fave Tesla I’ve owned.

    Who is waiting on the 2024 changes to order a Plaid?

    I’m open to the Turbo S but: 1) I like that the Tesla blends in and doesn’t stand out like the Porsche. Not interested in drawing attention to the car 2) supercharging access is a must and I don’t want to wait until 2025/2026 3) I’ve grown accustomed to things like sentry mode cameras, the...

    Who is waiting on the 2024 changes to order a Plaid?

    I took delivery of one of the first Plaids, my lease end is coming up and I was just going to get another Plaid, or if my CT reservation comes in before then I’ll just use the CT as my everyday car instead. Seeing here for the first time that a refresh could be coming, that would be ideal. Love...

    Market value for Plaid

    this the smartest way to buy a tesla on a budget. If you’re concerned about depreciation, let it take the massive hit it WILL take 12-18 months after release when the deep price cuts start to happen. It’s like clockwork. If you want to save $, that’s the way to do it. downside is you’re driving...

    Market value for Plaid

    Mine was an early delivery, 150k ish. Lease Teslas. They are like iPhones. Obsolete after 3-4 years max. Easy peasy, hand the keys in and enjoy the new one!

    Car Squeaking when coming to complete stop (only with 21" Performance Wheels)

    good luck! Every time any of the following gets brought up: - light knocking from suspension upon turns - lurching/groan upon initial movement forward - squeaking brakes constantly at low speeds every time I mention they say “cant reproduce”. I even video’d it for them and attached. “cant...

    Selling 2022 Model S LR reservation, 5K less than offical price, Mar. 2022 Delivery

    I was able to get this done, with the help of my sales advisor. Without his help, it would have been a wall of no’s. This was when Plaids first came out, I had 2 reservations and took the one that came first. Didn’t want to make a buck off of anyone so I transferred the 2nd reservation to a...

    Tesla Service getting worst and worst

    Horrendous. have had a sagging trunk and multiple noises for months. multiple appointments - they forget things, don’t do things, don’t have parts, and attempted to charge me (for a trunk sagging lol - they said since it was more than 30 days since the last ”fix” I’m responsible -for a 1yr old...

    Another example of the world's worst customer service

    I think getting into the tit for tat about Dealer relations will only result in banter about what people believe about strangers on the internet, so YMMV. Summary is yes absolutely that’s normal with high end 150k+ cars. My dealers I do business with know I buy cars. If I have one 7yrs out of...

    Perhaps you don’t have a good enough relationship with your dealer to where they take care of you well enough to do so. Thats an aside from the whole of the point of the post which you clearly disagree with, right? So you think Tesla delivers the best service and best ownership experience, do...

    Another example of the world's worst customer service

    It’s crazy how people apologize for stuff like this with tesla. The problem isnt that it’s insurance vs a breakdown or whatever else. The problem is that tesla literally guides it’s employees to do the opposite of what makes a great customer experience. Mercedes, Audi, etc would have a truck...

    What's up with all the "used" Plaids for sell with less than1,000 miles?

    Lots of ppl prob scrambled orders in when the press caught on to the car, thinking they would be able to flip it given supply chain issues and hype at the time. Several months later, car shows up, they can’t make a profit,so they either sell right away to cut losses, or drive a bit and sell for...

    supercharger location finder?

    This changed. I have the same gripe. when you’re using Nav, you have to zoom in close to see superchargers, so its hard to see multiple sc’s in one map view. in the old UI, for long drives let’s say where you want to plan out a diff route based on supercharger preference, you could see a big...

    You can buy the lease out and do as you please with the car. Sell to carvana, trade in, whatever.

    Lease Trade-In Question

    Or just do carvana. That service is crazy convenient they literally show up take the car and hand you a check. That was my preference but the system couldn’t figure out how to value a model s for whatever reason, and no one would return outreach. I have used it for other cars - fantastic.
