Can you imagine even a solid portion of that $56B being spent on improving Tesla instead of Elon? e.g. less scary FSD, pre Model 3 Customer Service levels, et cetera Sure he has earned something for his apparent mastery of capitalism, but $56B for 10 years (or $81K a minute per one recent...

Looks like these tires are becoming available starting at $215 USD per tire. Anyone considering them for their MS or MSP (squared setup only)...

Slow news day, so... New Lucid Air Sapphire article/video out today promoting it at 1.77secs with one-foot rollout for 0-60mph and 8.93secs for 1/4 mile. Ref: Watch The Lucid Air Sapphire Become The World’s Quickest 1/4 Mile Production Sedan | Carscoops

Complete speculation regarding a larger discount on "remaining" inventory. But Tesla news continues to be negative regarding vehicles delivered this quarter and even more so for Q3. Alot of factors. As we get closer to quarter end my "guess" of sweetening incentives wouldn't be more discount...

Alright. Data/intel gleened via tesla.com chat and callback was Orland Park vehicle arrived this week (yesterday) and Schaumburg vehicle is arriving April 9-15. Doesn't sync with time on lot, though that sounds logical. It's just weird how one sample red with black, 19" and no tow at the...

Can anyone explain how Tesla is assigning the current pricing adjustments on new 2024 MYs in Q2? I did chat with a SA yesterday and didn't get a clear answer on how one white MY LR with black int 19" rims gets $4800 and another identical (comparing details) MY LR gets $5,200 and yet another MY...

Wouldn't you get loyalty points instead? 7500 points on a new MY purchase can be used to get some FSD and/or charging.

Going to pick my MSP up from service for other reasons and I inquired about a full round steering wheel with the mechanical horn. I was told that service checked with parts and it isn't available (yet).

Just waiting to pick up my Tesla MSP from service today and inquired about a retrofit to a full wheel with the mechanical horn. I was messaged that service checked with parts and it isn't available (yet).

I paid $6k cash for Xpel Ultimate Fusion which provides both. Full car, authorized reseller. Chicagoland/NWI area. I did negotiate/haggle about 12% off original ask.

Which tires and setup do you recommend?

So thanks for this thread. Never had the stink in my 2017 MS, but the wife's M3, oh yea. Anyhow on my new MSP I have installed the sock. The vehicle may have been exposed to rain or snow during transport, and to water as the car was cleaned by Tesla and PPF installer. Here is to hoping this...

When the "front bumper camera" does debut will that impact or cause the removal of the accept Tesla vision warning? If so, that might be the easiest way to know your 2024 is equipped with such.

Fourth Tesla owned in 10 years. Despite more Tesla Service Centers working with a growing population of Tesla vehicles expanding their techs knowledge, my interactions with service have went from superb to dreadful (except for mobile - always good.) Other than the MCU screen on my last MS or...

I may not be a contract attorney but if Tesla determines this this isn't under warranty and if as Tesla service famously puts it "within specification" should I accept the estimate, I would be responsible for said payment. In the estimate itself it's chafing to see "customer states" as the...

A few questions: What documentation is the most effective in support of this process? Does lemon law get brought up, or is this independant of that path - option? What happens with regards to add-ons and taxes? e.g. FUSC or FSD, or physical add-ons like PPF? e.g. State sales taxes are...

To those few of you survived a bad MS or MSP sample to the point of a Tesla buy back. If you knew what you now know about Tesla service and buy back, what steps would you have taken to have made it easier - less stressful regarding resolution? Asking, as the only report on TMC regarding a slew...

Sorry to open an older thread back up. No idea if OP got his buy back. I would love to know more about how he got from those cornucopia of akarm codes to buy back. However, today with my January delivered MSP with just over 500 miles I received identical error codes as compared to the OP. I...

From this past February. One noticed by drivers side door and front fender.

Well online media sources are reporting on RGB ambient lighting and a front bumper camera now. Ref: Tesla Set to Unveil Front Bumper Camera and Ambient Lights for Model S/X "Trusted sources, who have provided reliable information in the past, have informed Not a Tesla App that ambient lighting...

To those who received their vehicles recently two questions. My MSP is set to mid height, sport, oem 19" summer tires and less than 300 miles. Have you experienced the "startup vibration" yet and if so any details? I could be paranoid, as I adjust the tinfoil hat, for a few minutes or miles...

I just read an article talking to the upcoming 3P and it's new "sport" seats. Is this what got the community going about new Plaid seats? Ref: First look at the new and improved Tesla Model 3 Performance

Thanks. As a follow-up which guards did you use?

Can I ask you if the full body PPF has protected your vehicle from road rash so far? Also did you install mud guards/flaps? I also got a full PPF (Xpel) for my MSP I got in early Jan, but I only have a couple hundred miles on it. I have not installed guards/flaps yet.

It seems like only a few hundred or so pages ago (Decemberish) it seemed everyone thought ambient lighting for both trims was imminent plus newer front seats for Plaid. But hey, what about those ambigious "comfort and functionality improvements" we can all just recite? /s

Does anyone have a link to an article talking to the specs or math regarding what Chill, Sport, Insane and Plaid modes represent? Yes I did read that Insane and Plaid Are maximum spec for their respective trim, but how are lower modes engineered?

In other news, discussed previously a few 100 or so pages ago, another Lucid Sapphire article admits "the production Lucid must share the quarter-mile record with the Tesla Model S Plaid (which is quicker to 60 mph by 0.1 second)." $250k vs under $100k. Ref...

Does anyone know if 2024 Tesla MS and MSPs are being shipped with the latest HEPA assembly/filter revision (-C)? There is some speculation that Tesla may be attempting to address the evaporator/hvac foul stink. While the dated forum title contains 2021-2022, the infamous stink continues to...

Unsure which thread this should really go, but it's kind of the end of the new purchase experience... EV fees at the BMV/DMV (for those States) While I am not a fan of targeting EVs to allow (38) States to collect more revenue, as I registered my 2023 Tesla MSP using my 2017 Tesla S for some...

I take it you were on 21"s? My first full battery of electrons on my new 23 MSP with 19" only yielded 210 miles. Chill mode 80% freeway speeds, roughly 30 miles of vampire while the vehicle was getting PPF'd, but 35F/2C average outside. I would like to see the EPA certification reworked to...

Looking to see if others have had issues getting T Sportline to issue a return authorization for a received order. I have been calling daily this week, once getting a live person who took down my details and was going to have someone callback (didnt occur), leaving voicemails, and pushing an...

Has anyone seen this via the tesla.com website versus third-party? If so, can you post a link?

How did you predict an upcoming increase in font size? I would say common sense but this is Tesla after all... You only missed on the medical diagnosis if such were disclosed publically at all. https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/02/business/tesla-recall-font-size/index.html

Did you actually agree to purchase any specified model "year" in the order/delivery process yet? What Tesla advertises on their website and when placing a website order specifies "new" in certain pages (e.g. Inventory) but omits any mention of "year" in any web page using my recent buying...

I wonder if the Roadster rumoured release in 2024 is a reaction to the Chinese and European market's release of the MG Cyberster roadster which doesn't have the specs of a Tesla Roadster nor its original price. Sorry US market... It sure looks like fun from articles and first drive videos so...

I copied this as I was clicking those final things to accept delivery early this week. The scscreenshoI took is titled "Abritation Provision" but the text says "See the Arbritation Provision for additional information." I was looking for the agreement that needs to be signed and sent in. Is...

That could very well be. I was focusing conversation on the 2024 MS, I didn't wander into MX or other vehicle territory. My goal was to discover if it was going to be made available for my year; no bueno. No vibrations or rattles or abnormal wind noises as I put 50 miles on the way home...

Its my time. Picked up the "last" ultra red 2023 made in 2023 with a build date of 12/28. I am not going to consider 2023s made in 2024 as "last" as it's already a weak point. Anyhow, took a printed checklist from another area of this forum. A cursory review of fit and finish seem like this...

6.75% via Tesla via Chase for 780+ credit. 60 or 72mo. In vehicles past the Tesla loan guy would route through a few well known banks versus just one. Still expensive money imho.

It will be two weeks after I pick up my MSP. My luck: My late Sept 2014 MS 85 was dethroned with the 85D in 9 days. My current 2017 MS 100D was dethroned by a revised MCU (2) even though my vehicle got the later AP HW the same week. This 2023 MSP purchase will cause the Plaid Plus and/or the...

But those are marked as "demo" whereas I have been focused on those marked as "new". Every "new" inventory car us showing the 3% discount currently. e.g...

To pile on that 3% "discount"... I have a MSP waiting for pickup. I am trying to get a concession regarding that 3% without cancelling. For a 90k+ car its real money. In my back in forth via messaging after I explained all Model S and S Plaids are showing a 3% discount on tesla.com ->...

How did you learn the contact information for your SA? All I have is a couple phone numbers that were used to text me and the app where I swear its a game of trying to be worse than Tesla Solar regarding customer service played by several anonymous agents. I have asked directly twice and no...

Who shut you down on asking? I guess I have answer envy as I am getting no response via app or text. Is Tesla open on MLK? Unsure. Trying to figure out who has authority to make concessions. My proposal was: If I cancel, Tesla will be marking this MSP down 3% like other inventory, or more as...

Ordered 11/28 which was the last day the EDD range was all within 2023 which I though was required for the supercharging transfer promotion. I do see the supercharging transfer in my order "paperwork." I was assigned the "last 2023" ultra red with creme, 19" MSP with a build date of 12/28. If...

A few pages back I was talking about Tesla wanting to deliver cars during a blizzard. A few responses were basically saying Tesla's left hand (regional) not knowing what the right (delivery) was doing. From a favorite movie: "that would be a bingo!" Update: Ever since getting rescheduled I...

I asked about the 3% discount being applied to my order which is sitting in the same lot as other "new vehicle" 2023 MSPs at the delivery center. It took 36 hours to get an answer: "Where do you see this? If there was a price change then your order would be automatically updated but sometimes...

I thought the lower mileage message gave you an out where you could cancel and get your $250 back versus losing the order fee.

While trying to get my mind off of Tesla discounting... A new EV tire option by Goodyear? https://m.arenaev.com/goodyear_unveils_electricdrive_2_tire_and_exciting_collaborations_at_ces_2024-news-2984.php

Another vote for service selling this for pre 24s. Also, I tried to spot the worm in that picture. Couldn't make it out. Anyone else?
