2012 p85 to 2023 Plaid. Yoke is ok and great on longer drives, steering wheel is probably better though for muscle memory and u-turns. I used both for a while. Stalkless you will get used to, I find no real issue either way though it is a bit slower to go drive to reverse and visa versa...

Model x is quieter than the S for a few reasons, but the rear hatch area is a large portion of it. It moves which can create a booming sound itself, and it can bounce sound into the rest of the vehicle that gets damped on the X. Hard to say what is causing your issue though as there just isnt...

Ext4. I don’t know if it works to set different sizes but give it a shot. What I can say is it only works in the glove box.

guess: exv=electronic expansion valve. flooding means it is somehow running unmetered as the exv (also called EEV in regular hvac parlance) is not responding. Part of the heating/cooling system. cooling and heating may work but not optimal or may freeze up. needs service by a trained Tesla...

Way more history. I purchased a blue plaid in march. Drove for just a few weeks (while in the shop a few times for initial teething, alignment, paint, hatch alignment, dirty interior, issue in carbon fiber, noise). It started collecting water "somewhere" to the point it sounded like an...

While I love the plaid, it is only worth it with the discounts. If they don’t make it right *now* I’m going to go back to the state, file the lemon law, stop being an investor, and move on with my life.

They couldn’t make it right. Car had issues under the clear coat. They knew it and did not disclose. (This is not conjecture) Now they are trying to get me another, making it the 4th attempt to get me a vehicle that works and is in decent condition. Vin matched and the “new” vehicle appears to...

I just got back from rejecting delivery on an Ultra Red Plaid. Paint imperfections including clearcoat inclusions and massive swirling, delivered dirty (so I couldnt see the extent of the issues, but they were bad enough that the tech even agreed), debris in the camera housings, and the car was...

January to February If I remember correctly. Though I think *all* ultra red is 100% hw4 as they weren't made available until after the switch.

The one I was looking at from this weekend showed back up and my SA says the buyback paperwork and subsequent delivery are imminent. So wish me luck. This is a make or break for me with Tesla, I’ve gone too many rounds but hopefully I can change my tagline from buyback to happy customer once...

Agreed, but they already had the discount before this weekend. Its frustrating as I keep waiting and waiting for my buyback and there was a perfect example waiting but couldn't do anything. Oh well. As I told them either it happens or I am no longer a tesla customer for the foreseeable...

Anyone watching inventory see a large number of model s cars drop off the inventory lists? I know some could have sold, but based on the different system it looks like a hundred plaids sold since sunday. From them sitting for over a month. Im working through the details on my buyback and...

whats interesting is that over half the cars that were showing up last week, are no longer available in the system. Something like this happened last quarter too. Some of them may have sold, but not half over one weekend.

Underglow is illegal in many parts of the USA. I'm sure you know this, but if not it can result in impounded cars and lots of costs. Especially if you are using emergency colors, then you could even lose your car. Many areas are EXTREMELY serious about this. Otherwise I would add a fuse and...

Mine had no vibrations other than the initial drive vibration at low speeds Tesla associated with the tires, including at 80mph. I have my doubts, but then again I dont have my car so I dont know. Make sure your wheels are balanced and alignment is good. I had to have my alignment "fixed"...
