I think I bought one of the first S Plaids to come from the factory with a full wheel. I found the car in inventory and jumped on it. I think aftermarket steering wheels still give you a better look. Here is one from Unleashed Customs I purchased that cost a little over $1000. The lead time is...

How much additional cabin noise did you notice after you replaced the Tesla specific model tire with standard ones that did not have the foam inserts? Or are you able to source the Tesla tire through Tire Rack? Just curious. I can confirm that Tesla always asks for approval of a priced repair...

My wife had a Model 3 for a while and I'm on my third S. The biggest difference was in roominess for driver and passenger. After that, the acceleration. They are different products for different market segments. I've leased two S's and now own the third. I made a killing by purchasing and...

I moved from a Model S to a Mercedes Benz EQS a year ago. The biggest reason was the Tesla Service Center. Never being able to talk to a person, just having to wait for texts. Last month, my EQS started faulting with the car going into a Limp mode that cut off the air conditioning. After six...

The Service center solved my problems with multiple features not working. It turns out the front wheels were out of alignment. That condition was sensed by the car and as a result it disabled traction control, auto hold, regeneration braking, stability control and cruise control. The techs did...

Tesla can legally only reject a warranty claim if the issue is directly related to the brake upgrade. I am using an shop with an excellent reputation to perform the mod. I am not worried. Cincy

Thanks Guys. I'll try both and report back. Car is currently getting PPF until Thursday. Cincy

What changes would be required to the brake ducts? News to me. Cincy

When I jumped in my 2023 Plaid yesterday ( Software Version 2023.6.11.2) and was presented with multiple alerts. Regenerative braking unavailable, traction and stability control unavailable, auto hold unavailable plus others. I did a hard reset (buttons and brake) but the reboot didn't clear any...

I just picked up my Plaid with the new wheel. I agree the placement is perfect and the driving position very comfortable. My only complaint is that the car was delivered with the steering wheel center position about 10 degrees off from the wheels center position. I have a service appointment in...

I value safety too much to mess with the stock brakes. I'm in the process of moving to the Unplugged Performance Big Brake Kit with Carbon/Ceramic disks. Pricey but I'm worth it. Cincy

Hi Folks, Last year I sold my 2019 Model S to my brother and was prepared to purchase a third Model S Plaid. Then I found out that the yoke was not an option but was standard and a normal steering wheel was not available. This was a big deal for me as I had the opportunity to drive a yoke and...

+1. Never use anything but Bosch.
