15 minutes before my appointment :( We had a short conversation after where service confirmed once the part has better availability, they’ll resume cosmetic replacement.

Service confirmed the yoke horn button is gone (replaced with camera button), and the center of the yoke is the horn. Will post pics of invoice once its done. Appointment is on Tuesday and includes replacing the steering column (for an unrelated reason - makes loud grinding noise when retracting)

New Yoke with mechanical horn is finally here: Part 1965131-00-A STEERING WHEEL ASSEMBLY PUR - MECHANICAL HORN Steering Yoke 1965131-00-A must use yoke DAB 1965182-00-A. Firmware update required. I'll request service replace my peeling yoke and will let you know how it goes.

My local tech looked into yoke revisions for the S, and there are A LOT—at least 9. As of writing this, he says the latest one is 'H,' but the material is NOT NEW. It is the same as the previous revisions. He checked this by inputting the VIN of an S delivered that day, and luckily it had the...

The coil is approximately 1/2 foot past the cabin air filter, behind the center console. It is not reachable without disassembling the console.

Is Tesla pushing it back or are you asking it to be pushed back?

I drive in Plaid 24/7 so this thread spooked me. I made a trip down to the local service center and their message was clear: The only drive mode that affects drive train conditioning is Drag Strip Mode. Comfort, Sport, and Plaid only tune the response curves of the pedal. Comfort and Sport...

My yoke is showing signs of peeling. Any news on this fancy new updated material? Does someone have a source to prove its even a real thing?

Does anyone know what the HP vs Charge curve looks like on the Plaid? AutoTader (via Unplugged Performance) claims that at 66% the car is down 100hp: Given that I always charge to 70%, am I driving around down on power all the time?

Thanks, I found another thread on this topic: Tesla wants to physically disable Front Radar in my 2022 Model S for Tesla Vision I can confirm home link still works.

I had this work done today. The tech confirmed my car hadn't used the sensor once in over 3 months. It turns out it was disabled by software in some update a while ago, and it's just draining the battery without being useful.

Moderator note: Edited thread title to reflect the radar units in question are being disconnected, instead of removed. I had mobile service visit me to fix the trunk lunch on my 2022 Model S Plaid. As part of the service bulletin, an entry said, "Disable and remove front radar." I asked the...

Since this post was created, Munro did a full teardown of the instrument panel, and there is no screen back there.

By HUD I mean the screen behind the yoke. By top-down I’m referring to the car orientation on the HUD. Most of the time it's the car from behind. In theater mode, it's the car from the side. But after the chime, it is the car from the top.

Hey I can't figure out what this feature is from the manual. When driving slow (lets say 20kmh / 15mph), sometimes the car makes a chime (as if park or reverse gear has been selected), and the HUD changes from behind-the-car view to top-down-view. What is so important here that it is chiming?
