Hello, My ‘21 Tesla got rear ended and needs repair. I am trying to choose between a Tesla collision center and a 3rd party Tesla authorized shop. There is not much difference in the appointment availability between these two. I will be going ahead with my Tesla insurance for repairs. I would...

Hello, Did you end up going with a Tesla collision center or with a 3rd party Tesla authorized collision center? I need to decide for my car and would love to hear about your experience

My 21” OEM tires keep getting flat every few weeks and I am getting tired of having them patched or replaced. I now made 4 trips to Discount Tire in the last 3 months and I drive sparingly, only on paved roads like a Grandma. I am thinking 19 inch wheels would be lesser nail and rock magnets...

Tesla replaced the rear screen at no cost to me. I had to wait a long time for my local SC to get the part but eventually it was set right.

I have the exact same issue. How did the OP or others resolve this?

I am on FSD Beta and installed 2021.44.25.6 last Friday. Didn’t drive for a couple of days and found out yesterday that the rear screen is completely dark. I rebooted the car a few times with no luck. I scheduled a service appointment and this morning the screen turned on with just white light...

Supply will be constrained on the LR for far longer than the Plaid. Also, Tesla will move to structural battery packs with 4680 cells sometime in the future. Future is exciting. I am buying $TSLA with the money saved from the Plaid sale. I drove my buddy’s LR and it is plenty fast. I couldn‘t...

Why? demand far exceeds supply and I didn’t even have to try hard. I have been here for a few months and the regulars know my journey up until this part. This is not magic bro.

Yes, a bit more than the MSRP.

It’s been a while since I posted here so wanted to drop a quick update. My original order was for a LR but after waiting so long in vain I put in another order for a Plaid. Took delivery in August and reported a few issues - Yoke makes rubbing noise, rear passenger side body seal was bad...

This exactly is my conundrum. If it were perfect, without the ripped carpet and Yoke issue may be I would be more attached. Throwing that much more extra money for an imperfectly delivered car at that price point just isn’t sitting with me. If I let it go I would lose ~10K sales tax.

Guys, need your advice here or more like this is what I would do kind of input. I took delivery of my Plaid a month ago and after delivery noticed a couple of issues - ripped carpet and a faulty Yoke. Both of these aren’t show stoppers but it took some pleasure away after waiting so long. Now...

I have a VIN and isNotMatchedToRa00Vin is set to 'true'

What y’all think about stealth protection? I am thinking of getting stealth ppf for my blue Plaid. It gives the look of a BMW frozen blue but I never had a matte ppf done before. I got a quote for $7500

Does anyone know if the mats for the 2020 S fit the refreshed model? I have a brand new unopened box
