Thanks for the detailed reply. I’ve followed your story here, and I’m certainly glad you‘re able to enjoy your upgrade! I was able to order within minutes on day one, so it’s been quite frustrating for me for a while now. I’ve literally have no idea how many reschedules and different excuses...

So what’s the longest someone has waited to have their track package installed before cancelling? I’m at three months now. Supposedly my SC is only waiting on one more rim now, after having received about ten wheels with seven of them damaged because Tesla is literally shipping them in a...

Has anyone that needed the revised knuckles (earlier builds) actually gotten a track package installed? My SC has been telling me for 2+ months (with 5 reschedules) that they "don't have parts". But there's no further explanation or any idea when (if) they will ever get "parts". I have an...

So.. my service center still has no idea when they will get parts... They're saying that some parts show available, but not everything that's needed to complete the track package. And nothing will ship to them until everything is available to ship as a complete kit at once. So literally no idea...

Well.. I ordered on day 0 as well. And I just got my 3rd appointment push back to middle of July. SC has no ETA on parts at all...

Hmm. I haven’t heard anything about having to remove the windshield to replace the dash grill. And that seems pretty crazy to me considering that there are speakers and other serviceable components located under the grill. My SC ordered a replacement grill that took several weeks to arrive. And...

Not sure if you got this problem fixed yet or not? But my Plaid developed the same issue about three weeks after delivery. And in my case it turned out to be the radar sensor that went bad. But.. my SC team had trouble simply replacing the radar with a new part. And they ended up spending days...

Well.. As it turns out. That same corner of the car was missing two screws, a nut, and a clip all from the fender well area.. and was causing some fender alignment issues and general sloppiness. Somebody needs some serious training or needs to find another job.. JS

Anybody on the assemble line in Fremont missing part of your tool? lol.. My Plaid had a rattle from the Driver’s front wheel area since delivery day, but only loud enough to be heard while the window was down. Several checks were done to make sure that the car was mechanically safe. But the...

Seems like quite of few of them have this same dent. Plus on my dash grill, there is a small section of the perforations that are "clogged up" near the passenger A-pillar. My SC has a new grill on order. But they're telling me that a replacement part "doesn't exist".. sigh

Nope, regen mode is not selectable at all on the Plaid. And it just operates in high regen mode with hold. From what I understand Tesla started rolling out vehicles with high regen only around October 2020. But thats definitely the way it is on my Plaid.. FYIW I love the way it drives with high...

Has anyone had an issue with a very distinct rattle coming from outside or underneath the car? I have a rattle that is very obvious with the driver’s window down, but can’t really be heard with all the windows up. It does it when hitting small bumps or larger, not on a perfectly smooth road...

No problems or warning messages at all with my brake system. And I haven’t heard of anything similar for the refresh S from anybody else yet.

There is no creep mode or low regen on the Plaid. It is high regen only and when you lift off the accelerator it will stop and hold. Not selectable to drive it any other way. It is basically hard to put the car in neutral and not going to accidentally happen during any normal or panic driving...

For what it’s worth, I was able to fairly easily pull my front plate mount off without taking the painted cover off. And then: I just pulled with fairly firm and steady pressure starting from one side and working my fingers between it and the bumper. It’s just the two strips of double sided...
