    Pulled over because of no front license plate

    This might be an option to consider.. I have a couple of friends using these. https://adhesivereplica.com/license-plate-replicas/usa-license-plate-replicas/minnesota-license-plate-replica We haven't had a front plate for 8 years but may go with the the replica on my wife's new Model S we are...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    They may just surprise you. Ours was just built yesterday so it may even still show up in this weeks Fremont drone flyover.. So we won't see that one for a while. I thought maybe we'd both be getting a car next week with several showing in transit to Minnesota.

    One hundred and sixteen days.... From order to vin. We've accumulated a lot of accessories during that time 😂 Our living room looks like a Tesla accessory center. This one won't count for this quarter though as it will not be in Minnesota until the first couple of weeks in April. Funny thing...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Yeah definitely hear what you’re saying…. We’ve got some things going on too that it would much, much better to have taken delivery before the end of this quarter also. Maybe they will fool us. Our first Model S was built, put in an enclosed transport and delivered to Minnesota in less than 10...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    You and I are quickly running out of time for Tesla to build a car, get it on a train and then a truck to Minnesota from the rail yard. Probably might be a good thing though. With all those Model Y’s their trying deliver in the next two weeks I would prefer to stay out that mess. I’m looking at...

    I'm pretty sure Golden Valley had that that build sitting in their back lot a week ago... It would be worth a drive to check.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    From what I've seen the lift gate alignment issue can end up being more than a cosmetic concern. If lift gate stops can't be adjusted enough the lift gate will not sit tight and you will have buffeting noise. The worst I've seen was the weekend demo car we had. I noticed it as soon we got on the...

    You can take some solace in knowing you are not alone with that thought. There are a couple of non inventory MSLR at the Twin Cities that don't appear to have a home. But maybe they do but why they seem to be just sitting is anyone's guess? I've been told with an EDD so far out and no vin to now...

    Tesla blesses other cars blocking two stalls due to short cord

    Maybe by accident our local SuperCharger has the best set up for accommodating any charge port location. There is parking on both sides of the pedestals. Confuses Tesla owners from time to time…. Just needs to be signed non Tesla and trailers this side - Regular Tesla charging this side. I...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Pushed out the same here… The window got larger and later. Big difference from when we originally ordered. That window was tight for the last week of December until December faded into memory. Back when we ordered our first Model S you could tell Tesla this is when we would like to take...

    Maybe those of us with orders from last year and no vin yet will get first dibs on the new upgrades 😂. This thread has fresh legs yet. Back to the store for more popcorn 🍿. Hope they restocked from the last time I was there.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I would recommend mud flaps at least on the front on these cars. Doing front and rear… I know.. I know 🫤. That’s in addition to full PPF. We drive a lot miles though. PPF in front of the rear tires would be the absolute minimum. If that’s a person wants to I would think hard about doing the...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Ordered in November and waiting. But we have a Model S with lots of miles on it. So we’ve been around Tesla for years. Hang in there if you can. Tesla can frustrate at times though we really haven’t dealt with that. As much as we love the one we have this latest generation for us anyway is...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Just snooping this morning on the FuelEconomy.gov - The official U.S. government source for fuel economy information. site. Tesla is not available in dropdown for any 2024 models . Lucid, Rivian etc. are. So no 2024 Tesla economy figures available there. If you switch to 2023 Tesla appears...
