I have seen many, many, many posts and Youtubes about people using their free trial FSD on their Teslas. I own a 2022 Model S Plaid and have not received anything yet. Are there other Model S Plaid owners who have gotten their free trial yet? If so, when did you get it?

As the original poster, I must say that I did a search and did not find any posts on this for the refreshed model s in the whole first page of posts on this forum. I do not consider zero posts as something that was 'covered extensively'. But thanks for replying.

I bought my Model S Plaid a little over two years ago, and it came with 2 fobs which I use. It seems that every 6 months or so, I get the message on the dash display that my fob battery is low. I usually replace the battery right away, although once I forgot about it and sure enough my fob...

I see that Tesla is giving a one month free FSD to ALL Tesla owners in the US. I am still waiting for mine, I think. Does anyone know if Tesla sends out a notice to install it, or if it is sent OTA automatically, or just how do you know when you get yours? I see a lot of write ups from people...

I have looked at the last 6 months of my billing from USAA, and there are 4 different amounts that I was charged during that time. My billing amount is automatically deducted EACH MONTH, and I can understand some small 'adjustments', but these are large differences.

I just saw a writeup on the TV news about car manufacturers selling info from different car computers to insurance companies. This included hard acceleration, top speeds, and hard braking. Well, after 2 years of slight changes in my insurance premiums, I took my car to the local drag strip...

Another Tesla owner says my car looks like a red skunk! What do you think?

I am wondering if the wheel covers that come on the 19" Model Y will fit onto the 19" Tempest wheels on the Model S. I know that the bolt patterns are different, but not sure if that affects the outside wheel covers. What are your thoughts?

Maybe Tesla should hire a software company to teach them how to route emails.

I have been waiting (Impatiently) for my new Holiday Software update, which hasn't come to me yet. This morning I got an email from Tesla saying that it is NOW downloading. It said to receive it, press the little yellow download arrow on the screen. Where is this little arrow, I can't find...

I had run my car at the 1/4 mile dragstrip, and noticed that the brakes did start to fade a bit after a couple of back-to-back runs. I understand that is normal on the older brakes, and hope the newer ones will help.

I have a 2022 Model S Plaid which has the standard (for then) brake setup. I saw where the newer models, starting in January 2023, now come equipped with CCB pads and red painted calipers. I went to my service center and ordered the newer CCB pads only, because I understand that the calipers...

Yesterday morning when I checked my Tesla app, I noticed that 2023.38 was available so I installed it in my car. I checked the Teslafi site but did not see it there, which I thought was strange. I ran some errands and the only thing that I noticed that was different is that a noise came from...

Here is a copy of my order for the new pads. If the originals were 'complete trash' you would probably have a class action lawsuit against Tesla. As far as warranty. I think that using Tesla parts would not void anything. However, when using after market parts, then good luck when dealing with...

Here is the number on the invoice: 1608642-01-D. Remember, the Plaid is different than the long range. They called this 1st row seat cushion trim assembly - left hand - performance white. Hope this helps.
