I cancelled my subscription on the 23 MS Plaid last month because the whole thing was useless. Tried it again today and it’s as useless as before the update. I had to intervene twice in the first five minutes just to stop it from curbing the rear wheels whilst turning. It also kept stopping 30...

Red everywhere! :) 4000 miles, not a single issue (knock on wood) ... she's a fun daily. :)

He's in the UK, he's probably written fifty letters to his local council and MP. No one ever wants to accept accountability ... over here we sue each other, over there they expect the state to take care of every slightest perceived unfairness/injustice. Do you have any idea how hard he would...

I agree that there's no reason for that parking block to be that far back from the end of the pavement, but this obviously happened whist reversing. Why in the world didn't you stop when you started scraping when you were going forwards? It would have to scrape something crazy for the bumper to...

Please stop yelling at us.

lol, there's a lot of brand interiors with better finishes than Teslas, slightly updated 90s Nissan and Toyota interiors are the few that def aren't.

Noted?

Installed it last night. Parking concrete block anxiety undiminished. :(

Is there some sort of way to request the update through the screen or the app or does it just show up randomly?

I don't have the same battery as you do (23 MSP), but my takeaway from this thread according to graphs that are beyond my comprehension is that for battery preservation around 55% is optimal. I however charge to 59% figuring that it won't make much difference. Why 59%? Because it gives me...

I play my apple podcasts through bluetooth. When I get back into the car the play button is right there one the bottom right of the screen as well as the 30 sec forward 15 sec back buttons. The podcasts stop if I get a call and resume when I hang up. It even recognizes the podcast graphic and...

Their app adoption is inconsistent. It’s not like their entire system is proprietary Tesla apps. They are now even including apple podcasts so they’re willing to integrate other big tech company software. And btw the apple podcast thing is useless, I already use that app seamlessly through my...

The only part of Waze I’m interested in is crowdsourced live police alerts … otherwise it’s pretty useless to me as we are already have live traffic awareness on the current system and my state has no speed or red light cameras. Why they just integrate the app is beyond me.

Thanks. Does it have the magical ability to download a front camera and a rain sensor? Or more realistically Waze integration? Cause any those would be a LOT more helpful than anything included in it.

When is this supposed to happen?

Don't you guys think that EM will raise prices again on the S and X come beginning of 24, or at least that he's done with the price cuts? He's been playing market share destruction the last few months but they're priced so much lower than the competition at the higher segment of the market that...

Thanks guys. The MSP is actually very special because it does one thing better than any car I've ever driven including those I race, which is to scare the bejesus out of me every time I floor it on the way to CVS. It's also comfortable and quiet which is a nice contrast from the other stuff...

It’s interesting you say that. In addition to the ghost wipes, I too have gotten frustrated with the rain sensing which rarely works at it should. Like you they often will either not turn on when it starts raining, go too slow for the amount of rain and I have to push the button on the steering...

And a half million dollar ferrari doesn’t as a standard feature … but that wasn’t the point he was making.

Not sure where else to post this. Anyone have any idea why my 23 MSP windshield wipers randomly go back and forth twice when I get in the car and put it in gear? It doesn't do it every time, and it does it when the car is bone dry so it's not a moisture detection thing. 🤷‍♂️

A couple of pics after PPF, tint, and front plate bracket removal. Joins the rest of the crew. :)

Sounds good … thanks again everyone for the info. Trying my best to keep up with the tech. :)

Thank you. Can this be done with a mobile connector as the lead connection? My understanding is that there's no functional difference between a hard wired wall connector and a mobile connector plugged into a 14-50 outlet ... at least as far as power output and charging times are concerned...

Understood ... thanks for the helpful info. 👍 I guess the PHEV will have to make do with the regular 120v outlet.

Again out of curiosity, what would the consequences of nothing like this be to either car or to my electrical panel?

Thank you. Out of curiosity how do folks deal with charging multiple electric cars in their garage? I barely had enough amperage available for one 220v high amp outlet.

Hi, Apologies for what is probably a noob electrical question. I charge my MSP via a Tesla mobile connector plugged into a 14-50 outlet in my garage. I ordered a PHEV (296 GTS) that will also require to be plugged in. Can I use a splitter to charge both cars or would I need to have a second...

Quick q ... (apologies if this has been answered before) I have to park my 23 MSP at the airport for a week and would like to leave sentry mode on. How much will this deplete the battery if I charge it to a hundred the night before and park it with around 95% charge left? Will I be ok charge...

I've seen that and it looks good on that car. But I'm not looking to color match the paint, I just want to keep the black oem roof look but without any light bleeding through.

Unless I'm missing something I think that's the best way to do it. My only worry is that they manage to tuck the film under the edges properly. Even though I don't have wind noise I might just put the rubber band around the roof to hide said edges.

Eh, I'll get it vinyl wrapped gloss black and see how it looks. I can always remove it if I don't like it.

My MSP is going in for tint and ppf next week and I was also debating tinting the roof cause I don't like the sun coming through it. Any reason gloss vinyl wrap isn't a good alternative? It seems that it would be the best way to block the sun out completely other than the sun shade which I...

I have no mechanical, electronic, or other issues with my Plaid, I don't have the yoke, and it took me two minutes to get used to the steering wheel horn, turn signals, high beam, etc. Is it under-braked for the performance? yes ... but there's a solution to that if it matters to you. I...

Ultra

Quick Q ... It's 7pm and the car is already charged to 80% which is the default limit. Should I still leave it plugged in overnight even though it's as charged as it will be or disconnect it? Does it make a difference wither way?

Quick wash after delivery. It's such a beautiful metallic red that holds up and still looks deep and rich in direct sunlight. Will take care if that front plate holder when she's in for PPF and tint next week.

So if i understand correctly, 32 charges faster than 27. Why would everyone not want that every time? What would be the advantage of being at 27?

Picked up the MSP earlier today ... I'm hesitant to ask this for fear of being hit super hard with spreadsheets and math ... Can someone explain to me BRIEFLY what the the difference between 27-32A means in my app, which I one I want, and why? Why am I given a choice, what am I optimizing for...

So I have some very unsettling news, shocking even!!! The car is fine and everything was super uneventful. :) They brought it out, I was there with my list, pen and disappointment at the ready ... and she looked great. Went through the paint, wheels, panel gaps, glass, windows, frunk/trunk...

Build date first week of October then shipped to NC. I’m guessing it’s unlikely it’s someone else’s reject. 🤷‍♂️ We’re not off to a roaring start as apparently they noticed it had a flat tire. Waiting for them to bring it out of service for me to inspect it … let’s see how this goes.

There's only so many configurations on an MSP. I was under the impression that they're building them trying to meet their numbers and lowered the prices because they had excess inventory sitting around in lots. If so couldn't my car also be one of those that explains the three week window from...

Is there a way to tell by build date if the car has had time to be offered and rejected to someone else? Meaning if my build date is within say the last 'x' months it is by definition a first time attempted delivery? For example if my car war was built early September, could it still be...

There's a downloadable PDF at the bottom of the opening post so you can print it out and have it with you at delivery. 👍 https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/mega-consolidated-delivery-quality-issues-thread-and-checklist.236802/

Dammit @ks1972 ... now I have PTDSD, Pre Tesla Delivery Stress Disorder. :( I might have also overdone it with my extension cord. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09LYFYGTY?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details It's ten time thicker than the Tesla charger cable and is less flexible than...

lol we'll find out Monday at 11am ... bringing the very helpful checklist that was available on the forum. Even if it isn't someone else's rejection, based on other people's experiences it still has no more than a 50/50 shot of getting past my ocd issues. First time I've ever gone into a...

Weird that some folks get pushed back while others like myself get pushed forward. Got a message the other day that my car is ready four days early and asking if I wanted to reschedule an earlier delivery date. I guess my car must have already been built before I ordered it, cause less than...

Just got the shims delivered and will get them installed soon after delivery … thanks for the info. Thank god I didn’t buy the MSP out of ecological altruism. Between my utility sourcing my power from coal, the horrors of lithium mining, and now the amount of tire microplastics all these cars...

Looks great. I'm dreading the drive from the Matthews delivery center to the PPF place in Charleston in a few days.

Just got my MSP delivery confirmed. Ordered Oct 9th 2023 Delivery Oct 30th 2023 (could have picked it up as early as the 28th)

Will they honor the price I ordered my MSP at? It was ordered a couple of weeks ago, had VIN a day later, and is supposed to be delivered in a week or so. Also maybe this means that they got so many orders due to the lower prices that they feel more confident about meeting their production...
