    Titan7 Wheels Group Buy Model S/X

    Looking to see what new wheels options are available too for the new MS. I’m less about performance ride and prefer more confident and comfortable handling instead. If there are wheel designs that will enhance the current 19” factory wheels, then I’m down to get a new set. Also, ability to keep...

    Looking for thoughts on Model S LR (refresh) vs. M3P

    I think the criticism on the yoke steering is overblown. Yes, it does take time to learn new muscle memory. For me, not having to use the turn signal stalk is wonderful! I have been dealing with various wrist and hand issues (trigger finger, tendonitis etc.), so the less force needed, the...

    Looking for thoughts on Model S LR (refresh) vs. M3P

    I just sold my '20 MY and took delivery of the '21 LR MS last week. I will say MS is night and day better. Of course, you pay the price to get all the creature comforts. Even though the MS is the LR version and delivers 3.1 sec 0-60, the acceleration is incredible. The car is confident and pose...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Gee… You know that first time I saw a MS Plaid it was 2 months ago and sitting in front of a Tesla store in CA (available for sale). That’s when I started to contemplate getting a MS and struck up a conversation with my SA. So, for me, it seemed that the inventory isn’t super constrained. Not...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Actually, I got my MS less than a month after ordering it. Ordered 9/28 and delivered on 10/13. As for trade-in’s, the prices are very decent on used cars right now. Just wait till you receive EDD and go get a quote from CarMax. Tesla always low ball you on trade-in’s.

    Accessories for 2021 Refresh Model S Plaid/LR

    +1. I was burned by RPM Tesla as well. Poor, poor quality products. I bought white center console covers to try to cover the piano black finish for my MY. Wow! When I saw the actual white covers I was shocked at what a joke it was. And into the trash bin it went. Yup, vinyl logo was a joke too...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    I had a SA that I worked with. A couple months ago, I was using the supercharger where the Tesla store was located. While waiting for my MY to charge, I saw a Plaid MS sitting outside of the store. Of course, I jumped out of my car to check it out. I struck a conversation with the SA and said I...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    I see you added my MS to your spreadsheet - row 42 (Napa, CA). I submitted a form to update order date and RN#. My original EDD is around Dec/Jan. But the dates were only posted for a few days and disappeared from my order status page. Anyway, I picked up the MS this past Wednesday, 10/13.

    2021 Refreshed Model S - Accessory Suggestions/Recommendations?

    Hi, I've been going to the Tesla store and some of the aftermarket Tesla vendors. I haven't had much luck finding interesting accessories to the refreshed MS. Reaching out to the community for recommendations. Thus far, I've purchased the screen protectors for front and rear from...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    It’s actually vegan leather framing the door cup holder on the outside. The inside of the cup holder area (just the opposite side) is actually, alcantara. Impressive… the whole area is soft to the touch. Even the bottom area of the cup holder has some give to it. The only firm plastic is the...

    Hopefully, the end is near. It will be an early Christmas gift! You will love the MS. It’s such a huge change from the previous gen MS. I’m sure Tesla will want to close out this year with an amazing final quarter. Good luck!

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    I totally understand. I was just very lucky. I worked with a SR that worked hard monitoring the inventory availability. I know you’re passionate about Teslas. I had a 2018 MX, then 2020 MY. Also, I have a Cybertruck reservation too. I’ll send my good luck your way to share. Maybe things are...

    Well, turns out my MS LR was in perfect order. I inspected closely, no paint issues, no backseat wrinkle issues, no misalignment of door handles…. Here are some snapshots from the delivery center today. I’m really happy with my experience!

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    I'm picking it up later this afternoon. So, I'll have more to share. My SR followed up with me and the MS was built on 10/5. Most likely someone couldn't take delivery or not available to take delivery. I plan to go through the inspection very closely today just to make double sure.

    That is true. I have been talking to my sales rep for some time. Not new to Tesla. I just haven't been following the ordering status. 😄

    I’ll let you know what happens tomorrow when I see it in person and can confirm the build date. My sale rep is going to double check for me. He did mention it’s most likely someone that either couldn't take delivery or not available to take delivery

    Oh no. I can’t believe it’s taking that long. Are you getting a LR or Plaid?

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Yes, I thought about that too. I’ll definitely be spending some time to check out everything. Fortunately, it’s not an end of quarter delivery, so it will not be a mad house.

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Not sure if I have an unusual experience. Placed my MS LR order on 9/28. Just got notified earlier today that my MS is ready for pick up tomorrow. I had originally told my sales rep that I’m looking for possibly December - January pickup. After I ran out of patience trying to wait so I told him...

    October delivery Dates

    Update: 3:11pm PST. I received a couple more texts to arrange for the delivery appointment for tomorrow, 10/5 at 10am. Also, went online and purchase the Tesla insurance and signed my purchase agreement. All set for now, except, the final payment due tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

    October delivery Dates

    Are you in CA? I think it will depend on where you’re located. Also, the MY configuration. I saw someone mentioned on 9/30 when they picked up their MY deep blue metallic at the Fremont factory that theirs was the only one there. The rest were mostly white, dark grey and a few red ones. Maybe...

    October delivery Dates

    Yes, it is. The VIN showed up in my Tesla online account page. The text I received is regarding whether I can take delivery on Monday, 10/5 at the Dublin showroom. I received the initial order agreement on 9/25 when I placed the order. I see in the next steps are getting insurance and signing...

    Are Floor Mats Included for the Model Y?

    Thank you all for the confirmation. I’ve order close to $1k worth of accessories. So, it’s good to know I can postpone getting floor mats for a few months and decide later to get different ones.

    Are Floor Mats Included for the Model Y?

    Hi, I previously owned a Model X and the floor mats were included in it? I just ordered a Model Y, but I’m not sure if the carpeted floor mats are included or not? Help. I’m trying to order all the accessories for the MY.

    How can I get Tesla to push a SW update to me?

    Hi, I have a 2018 MX 75D and currently I’m on 2019.8.5.3aaa23d. I see some folks are already on 2019.12.xxx. Is there a way to get Tesla to push the latest update to me? I’m interested in getting the faster charging speed for my 75D. Help!

    Windshield wipers are horrible, and arguably dangerous

    Can’t agree enough! Everything that people having been saying here with the lousy auto wiper settings and even the maual delayed wiper settings are terrible to use. I have owned many other cars in my lifetime, none of them have given me so much grief. Wipers don’t work as expected. In fact, I’m...

    Recent X75D purchase range anxiety vs purchasing today

    Just last week I went to Tesla and they quoted me somewhere between $80k-$84k. They told me that I can go to CarMax and if CarMax can give me a higher amount then Tesla will honor it as well. It's indeed a huge loss considering the car only has 4k miles.

    Recent X75D purchase range anxiety vs purchasing today

    I'm in the same situation. I bought the X75D and took delivery last year on 9/28. It's certainly has been very disappointing in terms of the constant charging on a daily basis 2-3 times per day that I have to do with the X75. I have a 190-mile commute daily. Wow! It has certainly been a quick...

    New model X and S line up! Cheaper model X!

    You should upgrade it. Tesla is desperate for sales right now and will definitely do the right thing. I purchase the 75D last October and have regretted not getting the 100D. With the new price reduction, go big! You will not be sorry. I took my 75D on a road trip over the Christmas holiday from...

    Buying a Crashed Model X

    Please do not bother with trying to salvage a Tesla. My 1.5 week old 2018 Tesla Model X had a front-end collision and was in a San Francisco body shop over 2.5 months waiting on 1 part (left fog lamp). My car had no frame damage, all parts were replaced except one small area that was repaired...

    Part Availability Nightmare

    Well, my rental insurance did run out after 1 month. Luckily, the accident wasn't my fault, so it's covered by the other insurance company. Besides, Tesla now has stepped in too to pay for my rental car(for 1.5 weeks now).

    Part Availability Nightmare

    Yes, my case is under executive escalation. The answer I'm getting is this part is completely depleted. I'm guessing their supply chain planning team need to ratchet up their forecast for their parts support line and not just focus on new car line.

    Part Availability Nightmare

    Well, Tesla said there's a different part for the 2018 MX. So, I've been waiting on a specific fog lamp part. I know EOQ is going on right now, I just wish Tesla would at least divert 1 fog lamp from their production lane to address this delinquent part.
  47. M

    Part Availability Nightmare

    Well, the auto body shop will need to charge for additional work since they need to put the front bumper on and when the left front fog lamp comes in, then they have to take the bumper off again. They didn't think the insurance company will approve the extra work.

    Part Availability Nightmare

    My MX has been in the autobody shop since mid-October. I only had my MX for 1.5 weeks (took delivery on 9/28) before a driver ran a red light and hit the front of my car. The repair is nearly done except for the last 4 weeks, I have been waiting on the left fog lamp (p/n 1034326-00-B). Both the...
