    High Pitched sound for 2022 Plaid

    I have the same high pitched noise (most annoying at 77mph) in my brand new MSP and thought it was normal, until I had a Plaid loaner for other repairs and fixes they had to do on my car. Will keep everyone updated on how the Palo Alto SC will handle the situation. My noise is loudest above...

    Is your windshield distortion this bad?

    Were you ever able to get this fixed? I accepted delivery of a new MSP this week and have similar distortion in 2-3 areas within the driver view in the glass and I’m wondering if I should try to get it replaced or keep it the way it is? Hard to tell if it will annoy me without driving more than...

    New Model S with alignment problem - Anyone have Tesla requests to send to a collision center to fix?

    That might be true but there were several cars in the lot including the test drive model s and all of them had terrible uneven gaps around the trunk, especially on the driver side it’s just that certain colors show it less. The car I’ve accepted didn’t have much of a step just an uneven gap, you...

    New Model S with alignment problem - Anyone have Tesla requests to send to a collision center to fix?

    I accepted the delivery of a new car, they found a new vin in 2 days and the step/gap is marginally better but far from perfect. I’ve reported it for service with a few other issues that I found once the car was paid & unlocked but I’m not sure if I’ll go through with them fixing it given that...

    My 2022 Model S Refresh Long Range Fit and Finish.

    Sounds very similar to my gap/step issue on the rear quarter panel to trunk. I rejected this MSP delivery yesterday for this reason and they are trying to align the trunk better now but I’m sure it won’t get perfect as I see it to some degree on every new MS. Based on this photo was your...

    New Model S with alignment problem - Anyone have Tesla requests to send to a collision center to fix?

    Yes beside the gap there is a step down from the trunk to the quarter panel which means the quarter panel is welded on too low. I think there will be limited room to fix it as the quarter panel can not be moved only the trunk lid might be able to adjusted slightly which will probably make other...

    New Model S with alignment problem - Anyone have Tesla requests to send to a collision center to fix?

    I was supposed to take delivery of a new MSP today and I rejected it due to this gap. Is this the gap you are talking about? They are now trying to adjust the trunk alignment and will try delivery again. But to be honest most cars in the lot had this issue but not to this extent. Seems to be...

    New to the MSLR - delivery date this week!

    Was supposed to have delivery of my MSP today but the panel gap and step quarter panel to trunk on the driver side was just unacceptable. I know white paint highlights these especially but they agreed to try to improve it before I accept/pay it. Other than that the car seemed pretty great inside...

    New to the MSLR - delivery date this week!

    I'm glad, it's time to replace my M3P and I was set on choosing the MYP just for the bigger interior / trunk space, towing ability. Well.. clicked a bit around last week and boom MSP with 10.5k off and FSD transfer.. can't say no to that :) I was still a bit on the fence if I did the right...

    FSD Transfer

    Interesting, good to know. Yeah I had multiple Tesla employees confirm to me that in the case I reject the delivery tomorrow I will get a new VIN assigned and the FSD will transfer to the new VIN. I was just cautious as the FSD transfer form had specifically my old and new VIN for the transfer...

    FSD Transfer

    Did anyone go through with the transfer yet? Although my SA "promises" me the transfer will not get locked to a VIN until you accept the delivery I'm still very concerned to get this transfer started and then loose the FSD completely if I reject the new car on delivery for a different one...

    Irregular digital ticking noise near steering column

    Hey there! Although I was extremely certain it was a digital noise it turned out to be the mechanical door opening latch on the driver door that is a bit loose and starts to tick/vibrate sometimes which can be fixed by just pushing it a bit forward. Not a fix or ideal but at least I know now how...

    Irregular digital ticking noise near steering column

    Has anyone here had an irregular clicking noise (similar to a click wheel of an older iPod) noticed near the steering wheel? It seems to come out of the steering wheel column on the left side, right behind the wheel. Here is a video of the noise: It is faint but noticeable and drives me...
