My creaking came back as well after I did the same. Have not set up service appointment but that is next.

Have the same issue on my 23 Plaid. See this thread Plaid S Front Suspension Creaking I tightened the bolts. Its helped but still make the noise just not as prominent as before.

Had this creaking noise pop up on my 2023 Plaid at about 4k miles on slow speed turns, especially turning left. Thanks to @paulchou for the pics and torque specs. Interesting that I never had this issue in 12K miles on my 2021 Plaid. Anyway, just retorqued the bolts with an extra 5nm. Quick...

Same here. Frustrating...

Well said!

Options you list come at a heft price +$60K over a Plaid. No doubt it's an awesome platform but Porsche loves their options list and especially customers who check many of the boxes.

Still waiting for FSD on my HW4 Plaid S....

USS functions essentially the same. In other cars with USS solid tone means you are about 6 inches away.

Its actually not terrible. I put a 17in high cardboard box in front on the vehicle. Pulled up to it. I stopped when it said 15 inches. Got out, measured and it was actually 20 inches. I then got back in and continued to pull forward. As soon as it said "Stop" I stopped and put it in park...

This worked for me. Thank you!!

Agree. I have them on my 911. Unbelievable braking!!

Less expensive than any other option out there including Unplugged, RacingBrake, etc. With factory warranty, install, etc. Also Porsche is 9K upgrade on a new vehicle from already impressive steel brakes. To purchase outright is $20K++

I'm in for notification. Doesn't look like any orders have been taken yet.

Fair but if you need some beeps to keep from hitting an object you can see clearly in the camera then find another mode of transportation.

I don't think the Y has a bumper camera either. Vision based Park Assist is enabled and functioning using the windshield camera. Depends on your definition is "properly." From my perspective, it works.

Our non USS MYP that we purchased in November 2022 did not get Vision Park Assist until late March I believe. So 4 months give or take. I suspect during that time they were gathering data from cars in the field to refine the software. To be fair, I find the Vision Park Assist to be...

Looks like only the 2021 and newer refresh.

Hmm. Directions said 80ft lbs. I was definitively careful not to cross thread. Didn’t feel any thing out of the ordinary so should be all good.

The bolts are plenty long. At least six or eight turns before torque to 80ft lbs.

Just one size as far as I can tell. Correct my measure was about 0.75. Not an alignment rack so its not precise.

I did not measure the shims but I would say they are around 4-5mm.

I installed the Macsboost shims this evening. Relatively straight forward. Took a bit of wrangling to get them in but as recommended I rolled them in back to front while pushing down on the brake rotor and got them in. As for camber change is was right about what is advertised. My S is...

Correct. We are anxiously awaiting the update to add it. Already added to Model 3/Y. I have it on our 2023 Y. It works but has limitations.

You have have the latest version for HW4. I picked up my MSP on 3/30 with a build of 3/11. Same version as you. Any other versions are for HW3.

They would have had to delay delivery for the repair so I would have asked what the issue was. I've had good experiences with the Service Center here so I would hope they would have been forthright.

I've purchased a few Teslas over the last 18 months. Have figured out that the car arrives a day or two before the scheduled delivery date. I'll take a stroll down to the center to check the car out when I expect it to arrive. In this case, I spotted the car two days before my delivery date...

No yelling in here....not about the looks in my book but about the experience. Experience of the new car is worth the swap.

Picked up my 23 White/Blk Plaid (March 11 build) yesterday. Traded in my 21 Plaid (Oct 21 build) with 12K miles. Trade it was Red which I did not order at the time but became available in Dec 21. Trade in value was $79K which was obviously a massive hit but I did not see any upside in the...

That guy is an idiot...he does not even own a non USS vehicle

I have a 23 Model Y that does not have USS sensors. It updated last week with the new Tesla Vision based park assist. I have to say it works quite well. Not perfect but does an adequate job both front and rear for nearby objects.

Looks like the Plaid is available again in Nashville. Did you decide against it?

I did check the mounting bolts on the sway bar prior to removing and they were tight. I also replaced the sway bar end links with adjustable ones from Unplugged as I was chasing the noise. They were installed, all tight and did not resolve the issue. Removing the bar did resolve it.

Looks like I found the root cause of my issue. I have Unplugged sway bars installed front and rear. The bushings, at least on the front, are much stiffer than the factory as they should be. When the temperature drops these must get hard as a rock. Temps dropped down in the 20s here in...

Exactly. I imagined the scenario playing out...."we replaced the tires and put in on the alignment rack but low and behold we need to replace xyz suspension component and it will be another xx weeks". No thank you...

No Plaid pickup for me today. Flat rear tire on delivery, tire would take a week. I offered to swap for my same wheels (19 Tempest). Did the swap and alignment was jacked. The tried to blame the tires. I suspect some sort of hit in transit which resulting in the flat and alignment issue. I...

Fobs disconnected from the 2021 Plaid so I'm keeping them. Also keeping the mobile connector. That's the least I deserve after a $25K hit thanks to price reductions. Picking up the 23 Plaid tomorrow...

I'm going to remove the fobs from the keys to the car and keep them. I'll pitch a fit if they ask for them....

Question for the group: I am trading my 21 S that came with two card keys and two fobs. I understand that the cars now come without the fobs. Can I keep the fobs and reprogram for the new 23 S? Will they require that I turn them in? Thanks for the help!!

Tesla states that my build date is March 1. Picking up Friday.

Looks pretty much like the Model3/Y wheel. Not cheap but certainly not high end.

Just received the delivery text. Taking delivery Friday the 17th in Nashville. They offered a delivery as early as Thursday so I will likely do a drive by to take a look Wed evening. 2023 Model S Plaid VIN 5053xx White Ext Black Int Tempest wheels Steering wheel

I believe there was an update in the last couple of days that enabled Autopilot on HW4 cars. Mine is scheduled to arrive by the 22nd, VIN is 5053XX so I expect HW4

Agree. I've purchased 3 Teslas in the last 18 months. Was allowed inside all of them for inspection prior to finalizing. SA even pointed out some issues that needed to be addressed and they were.

Spot on. Also have a 911 with Ceramics. Braking performance is astounding. Plaid brakes are fine unless you are tracking it (and why would you).

My price has been adjusted down in the order.

Same dates here, no VIN

I like the alcantara/carbon option of the Secret EV wheel!

Placed my order today!!

Great. Thanks for the reply!!

Did you have to remove the control panel and install on the new wheel?
