    Wiki Mega-consolidated delivery quality issues thread and checklist

    Yes! The obvious defects people are reporting that weren't addressed on the outside is just the tip of the iceberg. There are a lot of defects to these cars "under the skin", and at this point I'm just going to be willfully ignorant about them as I just don't have the time or energy to be going...

    21 inch from wheels making popping noise when turned to extreme?

    FWIW I've never heard that sound you hear in your video at 0:05. I'd maybe get it checked if it... rubs you the wrong way. That awful creaking sound at 0:27 though, I've heard on mine. I went into service about it, they checked it out and reported it's normal, and it's from when the vehicle...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Can anyone with a recent delivery chime in on if they're putting all-seasons on the 21'' wheels now, and if so, what are they? Looked at the configurator recently and saw this: Edit: weird, I guess you need to upgrade now to see pictures? It was a screen shot of the configurator, click on...

    2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

    Can attest to this as I had my door gasket trim w/e replaced last year. On the bright side, this is in scope of mobile service. Beware this is one of those things that really separate techs who have attention to detail from those that don't. The trim comes as one giant connected loop that needs...

    Do I lawyer up?

    Lesson: don't **** with your Tesla order.

    Mileage on MSLR

    throwing a data point in the mix: MSLR on 21'' wheels, about 8k miles and 15 months into ownership. Car shows range of 317 miles at 90% charge. Seems low but not really sweating it.

    New charge port LED placement is horrendous.

    Yeah, some people in the other refresh 2.0 thread seemed to love the new charge port design. Totally disagree though, it's comically big for an NA-Tesla charge port and loses the light ring, a small but distinguishing feature between the S/X vs. 3/Y. Yet another data pt showing the S/X are mere...

    Early '22 Exterior Refresh Tracking (Lights, Charging Door, Appliqué delete)

    As far as year over year updates go, this is tiny compared to normal gas cars and compared with MS 2020 to 2021. Think about how older model years continue to get OTA updates to keep up with the latest and greatest Tesla features on par with current model years. I for one love that I was one of...

    Early '22 Exterior Refresh Tracking (Lights, Charging Door, Appliqué delete)

    I looked at the pics again and... I agree with you. It will look sick. Found a pic of a pre-2015 MS with the inside of the headlights blacked out. Very clean look.

    Early '22 Exterior Refresh Tracking (Lights, Charging Door, Appliqué delete)

    No worries, I wasn't clear in my original post. I called it a plate holder thingy o_O Also, made a graphic to compare headlights, at least the aesthetics of them. IMO I prefer the look of the 2021 despite apparently sucking at their job vs. these new ones. The more pronounced inside...

    Early '22 Exterior Refresh Tracking (Lights, Charging Door, Appliqué delete)

    So confused. Temp plate was a piece of paper taped to the rear window. Real plates came in the mail for you to just screw on at home, at least in my state. @EndlessPlaid are you referring to the license plate frame (with model s written on it)? I'm not actually talking about that, I'm talking...

    Interesting. I don't think so, unless Tesla's being sneaky... Below is a photo from a Google search showing what I saw:

    Happy for the new owners getting the updated taillights and headlights. I actually don't mind the older ones, but these are definitely an incremental step forward. One thing I don't like as much is the charge port update. I like the ring lighting around the older charge port... But it's a minor...
