Looks like a recent update fixed the PS5 controller button mapping issue. Mine has worked perfectly the last two times without having to remap the buttons. :)

You can still use the wireless PS5 controller if you don’t mind setting it up each time. Just have to go to Settings/Controller/Test Inputs (or something similar) then you can reconfigure the buttons when it asks you to press each one as they are highlighted on the screen. Works perfectly after...

My favourite games to play right now are Wreckfest and Forza Horizon 5 (but I’m partial to driving games). They both look great and run well, though frame rates can dip into the 20-30 fps range during intense scenes. If you like shooters, Doom Eternal runs incredibly well. Is anyone having an...

I’ve only had them on for half a day so I don’t have any data on that, I’m afraid. I won’t be using the aero covers on my Tempest wheels (for winter) so I’m hoping they will be as efficient as the Tempest wheels without the covers, if not more efficient due to the weight savings. To be honest...

Thanks, I got the wheels from here: 19 The ones in their pictures are the gunmetal grey option. They are the exact same spec as the stock 19” wheels and accept the OEM Tesla tires and centre caps, but they offer a 20” size as well.

Sorry for the off-topic posts, everyone, but I'm still excited by my recent delivery and I enjoyed hearing from people who just got their cars while I waited (impatiently) for mine. ;) I took a couple of quick snaps of the wheels when I got home today (ha ha, I forgot to take off the SnapPlate...

Crap. I’m at the tire shop to have my wheels swapped and calipers painted but they said they can’t paint them because there’s some sort of vinyl coating on them and the paint won’t be able to stick to it. What a bummer. Maybe the only option is powder coating or caliper covers, but neither...

That’s interesting. Perhaps that’s part of it? It very much feels like a motion sickness headache though (like when I play an intense VR game). I noticed the effect a couple of days ago immediately after the regen brought the car slowly to a stop, but it didn’t happen at the next couple of...

I think I made an important discovery that will improve my enjoyment of my new Plaid today. I was getting minor headaches after driving the car for the first couple of days and I assumed it was from the intense acceleration, but I think it's actually from the one-pedal driving. I just got back...

Sorry for the late reply. I bought my centre caps and lug nut covers from a Canadian accessory store here: Model S/3/X/Y: Aero Wheel Caps Kit Currently on sale for $30 CAD, including the lug nut caps. I bought a set of Red T on Black and Silver T on Black so I have a couple of options, and...

I got the 19” Martian MW05 in satin black. I thought they were the ones pictured on the website, but the pictures are of the gunmetal grey colour (I assumed gunmetal was much lighter - oops). I’ll be sure to post some updated pics soon...

I finally picked up my shiny new Plaid yesterday from the detailer and wow, what a machine! I got a full car PPF wrap, 20% tints, painted all emblems gloss black and swapped the funky Plaid graphic badge for the simpler "P L A I D" emblem from RPM Tesla. I'm going to apply the Plaid graphic...

Nope, it’s just stuck on with strong double-sided tape. It should come off clean so you can go plateless or opt for a removable plate holder like a SnapPlate.

I asked a delivery specialist again if the Oakville SC could leave off the front plate since, but they wouldn’t do it, so I needed to get my detailer to remove it. @pbcsd I believe the SnapPlate instructions recommend taking it off when going through the car wash. Not sure about the snow issue.

Ha ha, I was the skeptical one in that thread and was surprised I hadn’t heard about this before. My refresh 2.0 Plaid is still at the detailer but I’ll take a flashlight with me when I visit the shop in a few days to see if there’s any evidence of a screen or LEDs behind that glossy panel.

It's Plaid delivery day! Well not so fast. :( During the inspection of the of my new Plaid we noticed it had a few small issues with the paint (a deep rock chip, a tiny bubble, and a faint vein in the paint - almost like the worm in the airbag, but more subtle), so unfortunately it's off to...

My Plaid was scheduled to be delivered on the 23rd but the weather forecast was looking terrible, so I tried calling Tesla to see if they could move it one day earlier. To my surprise, they said they could do it, and a few minutes later my app showed the new delivery date. Now it's only about...

For those asking about VIN assignments, I first noticed my Plaid VIN in the website source code around March 7th (might have been there earlier) but it didn't show up officially in the app until March 16th, which is one week before my scheduled delivery date. I got my delivery date before the...

No, I didn't hear that. Did someone tear apart their new refresh 2.0 already? Oh well, I guess they've changed their minds about the tilting screen then. At least we won't have the extra weight in the dash that will serve no purpose. Maybe we can get to 1.98s 0-60 now, ha ha. ;) I haven't...

There’s still hope. My app/order page still doesn’t show my VIN, but it’s been visible in the order page source code for a while and I just got the message today to book my delivery appointment for March 23 even without a VIN in my app. My EDD was 21-28 at the time. I hope you get your delivery...

According to the Munro Live teardown, the screen is going to have quite a large range of articulation once they finally get around to installing the little motors behind the screen. The tilting mechanism is all in place - they just need a couple of little motors on each side to control the...

Nice! Those 19" wheels without the aero covers actually look pretty great with the black paint, especially with those black centre caps and lug covers (this is what I'll be using on my Plaid for my winter setup). I hope I don't miss my black paint too much. It looks so sweet when it's clean...

Speaking of red, I just got an invitation to schedule a delivery date for my red Model S Plaid on March 23! The details of the order are in my signature if you’re interested. Woohoo! Oddly, my app and order page still don’t show a VIN (but it’s been in the source code for a while - an early...

It seems like most people here prefer the all-season tires for the 19” wheels. But if, like me, you already have a set of winter wheels and tires for the colder months (I’m in Canada), would you say the summer Pirellis are the better choice for maximum performance in the hotter months? It...

In all seriousness, apparently the cup holders on the refresh 2.0 have been updated, according to the people at TWraps.com. Cup Holder Insert for 2021 Refresh Tesla Model S / Model X (Plaid & Long Range) I wonder what the difference is? Probably just a change to the shape, but it would be...

Mine is apparently 4741 as well - but the VIN is not showing in the app yet, just in the website source code so far. Hopefully it will show up in the app officially soon, now that my EDD range has narrowed to 7 days.

What exactly does it mean when you get a VIN assigned? Does the VIN get assigned when the car is scheduled to be built soon, is currently being built, or is already built? My app isn’t showing the VIN yet, but I found the VIN in my order page source code - it’s NF4741 so I guess I should be...

Update: The app still isn’t reporting my VIN, but when I checked the source code of my order page, it reveals an NF4741 VIN so I guess that means my car is being built? With that high of a VIN, I suppose I’m guaranteed the updated lights as well. Woohoo!

My EDD just narrowed to a one-week range for the first time - March 21-28! Hopefully that means a VIN is finally imminent! 😃

Can someone confirm if the refresh S has ambient lighting in the doors? I had a mobile tech come by yesterday to fix a door handle on my old S and I mentioned to him that I hoped this feature will be coming soon since there are empty connectors behind the door panel, and he said it’s already...

My Plaid EDD just changed from Feb 27-Mar 27 down to Mar 14-Mar 31 (see full EDD history in my signature). Hopefully that means I will be getting the car in "mid-March" as my SA said, but I still don't have a VIN assigned. Since I still don't have a VIN, it looks like I will be getting the new...

Thanks for the link. That’s cool, I didn’t realize any vehicles had been shipped with actual slots or LEDs for the ambient lights in the trim - I thought it was just the empty connectors hidden behind opaque trim pieces so far. I’d love to get some RGB ambient lighting in my upcoming Plaid...

Are my eyes just playing tricks on me, or does the video show a thin ambient light bar embedded in the dash trim in front of the passenger seat?

That has been my experience. My lights (especially the passenger side one) were aimed too low and they worked much better once I aimed them properly. I find the lights on my Model S 75D to be adequate now, but I’ve never tried high-end laser or even matrix LED systems for comparison. I do find...

That’s what I heard too. I was under the impression that the phantom breaking was often a result of a conflict between the readings from the radar and vision systems and it’s the main reason why the Autopilot team wanted to get rid of radar.

My upcoming Plaid order is no longer showing up in my app (but still shows on the website). Could this be a signal that a VIN is about to be assigned? My SA said that my car should be built near the end of February, so I’m hopeful. I’ll be sure to report all the details if I get delivery soon...

Yeah, mine has been pushed to March as well. According to reports in the Model S delivery thread (page 4051), it sounds like if you haven’t been assigned a VIN yet, you’re likely to get the new matrix headlights and new tail lights. Hopefully we’ll hear from someone on the forum if they get the...

Ha ha, I was hoping I was getting a VIN assigned when my app wasn’t loading the delivery page earlier too. No change for me either. I’m only 9 days from the start of my EDD range but the range is still a month wide. Hopefully mine will update soon! Oh well, back to checking the app every couple...

I always assumed the horn decision was for safety reasons. I can imagine many people have crashed while jamming their hand on the horn which could likely break your arm and/or force it into your face when the airbag deploys. If you’re holding the yoke at 9 and 3 when the airbag deploys, it would...

Oooh, yeah, I forgot about the ambient lighting and centre horn. Those would be some nice icing on the cake. Fingers crossed! I’ll be sure to post once I get my Plaid, hopefully in early to mid March.

So it DOES look a lot like that rendering from the event website, except it has a second white strip running through the black but at the bottom to break it up (looks better this way). Any guesses what those two white strips are? Turn signal and extra bright reverse light? My Plaid is...

Congrats on the beautiful new car. Ha ha, rockin’ the Plaid shirt too, nice! I bought the same shirt in anticipation of my Plaid delivery (hopefully) next month. I had the same colour combo on my current 75D and I loved the look but found it was too hard to keep it looking clean (especially in...

Oh, you must be talking about a Model X order. I think everyone in this thread has a Model S order. From what I understand, refreshed Model X production is still way behind Model S.

I ordered my Plaid on December 30th and I’m still waiting for a VIN as well, but I’m in Canada. My order and EDD info is in my signature if you want to compare.

Alright, my EDD just got narrowed to a 2-week window for the second time. Hopefully that means a VIN is imminent! Also regarding the tires, it looks like the 19” Continental all-seasons have the lowest review score on Tire rack vs the other options available, which is disappointing. They’re...

Yeah, I asked my SA if I could get my 19” Plaid delivered with summer tires, but she said no, only all-seasons. :( Perhaps it’s a regional thing?

Thanks @Hayseed_MS and @Richmonder So there IS a summer option for the 19”s? Do you know the brand and model for each type (I think the all-seasons are Pirellis)?

Do they only offer the choice between all-seasons and summer tires for the 21” wheels? I already have a set of winter tires ready for my 19” wheels, so I’d prefer the car to come with summer tires, but my SC said the only option I have is all-seasons. Maybe that’s the rule for all Canadian...

Congrats! I’ll be picking up my Plaid from the Oakville service centre as well…but not until later this month (hopefully). If you’re in the Milton area and want someone to gush and swoon over the car with you, drop me a line, ha ha. :)

Thanks for the info, that’s great to know! I’ll have to pick up a couple of those (I do miss the nice bright daylight LEDs I had in there before).
