    Any indications that front bumper camera can be retrofitted later on HW4 2023 MS?

    MS Plaid vs Taycan vs EQS

    FYI - the OP (me) test drove or rented each one of these 3 options. I bought a new S and it’s already in my garage. Best car I owned ever, despite being the cheapest I owned in the last 12 years, almost 30-50% cost of all other daily drives I had (S-class, X7, 7-series), still better. I hated...

    Is the glass distortion still a problem for ‘24 model

    Finally someone posted, used his brain and knows how statistics work. Thanks!

    Is the glass distortion still a problem for ‘24 model

    Don’t be a piece of u know what. Smart boy acting as u know more about someone’s car than the owner himself. That’s as dumb as anyone would ever get.

    Is the glass distortion still a problem for ‘24 model

    That’s right, and I agree as I have seen it in many Tesla vehicles (even in some Model 3 ones). But for someone to claim that he knows that every single one on the planet has distortion is just BS. That was my only point.

    Is the glass distortion still a problem for ‘24 model

    You can disagree and show as much ego as you want, but it’s my car, my eyes, and my evaluation seeing it myself. You disagreeing that a car u had never ever seen has glass distortion is non-sense and makes no difference, lol. Am not going to believe that there is distortion only because some...

    2024 Model S vs. Plaid

    it's a disaster for cleaning and I also agree that it looks way too bright. Cream is the nicest and best interior for light colors. Looks really good, especially on Red, or Blue MS.

    Is the glass distortion still a problem for ‘24 model

    There's no need to diminish other's ability to know just as much as you do. Unless u believe u r the smartest one in the room, then good for u but u are wrong. I have sat in many many other Tesla, tesla drove a ton of them before I got mine, and I always rent Tesla when traveling for work. I...

    How "rattly" is the Plaid?

    I haven't owned the Mode X, but I have a Model S coming from MBenz S-class and other high end BMWs. I can tell you that the Model S is equally silent as far as rattles to my Benz. It's certainly better than BMWs in that aspect. I don't hear a single pop, squeak or rattle. I test drove...

    First Drive with a Steering Wheel on a Model S

    I have the wheel. If Tesla will ever fix the Yoke (which currently feels a bit cheaper material wise), and if a new yoke design comes up, I will certainly consider paying Tesla $1000 to install the Yoke and give it a try. How much does it cost now btw do replace the wheel with a yoke? curious.

    2024 Model S vs. Plaid

    I drive my S in the “Sport” mode and the “insane” mode is way too much for my liking that I would never ever use. In that case, I knew that the Plaid was going to be a waste of money for me because “Sport” medium speed setting is already the limit for what i need in the Model S. I never ever...

    Show off/me your wheels

    Thinking to get upgraded wheels on my S. Will consider 20" wheels only. Interested to see what you all have. Please mention the wheels brand/type and size.

    Top Speed reduced to 130 for LR

    No, they can't do that... the top speed limit (I think) is written within the car spec's. I think 2021-2023 model years will continue to have the full original speed limit. It's possible that the new lower speed limit is related to new tires limit.... I would gladly use those tires next time I...

    Is the Model S worth it over the Highland M3?

    Man, seems like you've never driven a Model S right after test driving a Model 3. Driver screen, the wider body, the interior space and rear trunk space, as well as premium ownership and driving experience alone make the Model S worth way more than Model 3. I don't see how anyone would...

    Has anyone received holiday update on Model S Refresh?

    I just got the next ( .7 ) update this morning (Friday). 2023.44.30.7

    Tesla switches to high-pressure sales tactics?

    My experience with the (no-pressure) sale was when were were living in NC years ago. We moved to a different state now, so my guess is that all this might depend on the location obviously….

    Tesla switches to high-pressure sales tactics?

    One thing I really liked about Tesla (long time ago before I even got my 1st Tesla) was the smooth and easy experience with the “sales locations/shop”, even after a test-drive. No question asked, given the keys, test drive, handed keys back, out. I drive a Model S now. Recently I wanted my...

    Has anyone received holiday update on Model S Refresh?

    Yes, I actually got two of them already more than a week ago, currently running 2023.44.30.6 for 4 days now. 2023 MS HW4

    Tesla price increase round just started

    Yeah show me those “THOUSANDS” of posts to prove u r not lying. Stop spreading misinformation. U think i care about what u think of my reputation measured against my # of posts? I could care less about wt u think or even others lol. Waiting for the THOUSANDS of posts that u had imagined

    Tesla price increase round just started

    So u listed all the alternatives with a “but” in the end of ur sentence. Well that means u failed answering. Even the i5 isn’t in the same price as Model S unless poorly spec’ed which is stupid then and has nothing better than MS; yet that poor range? Give me a break lol

    It doesn’t with the 19”. Stop spreading lies and no facts.

    Tesla price increase round just started

    Name a single EV that is priced 75K and better than Model S. Nobody said its luxury but it’s the best car for its current price. Those who disagree and can’t find a better alternative for “same” price range are just here to make noise
  24. CTruck_BMW

    Tesla price increase round just started

    If you’ve already switched to another brand, why are u still here trash talking Tesla? Just enjoy whatever car u got… there is still a lot of fans here that still believe this car is better than any other car they owned…. I’ve owned and still own several 100K cars, from S-class, X7, X5...

    Tesla price increase round just started

    Wrong answer… mine has non of that issues as I run 19” wheels on it. As for leather, u r just one data point out of so many old and newer Tesla cars with so many miles in the used car markets that are showing zero leather issues. Your 18 months old car with poor leather is an indication of an...

    Super update with new features!! 2023.44.25

    That's actually awesome!.. I watched one youtube video, and noticed in the video that the wipers worked reaallllly good under light rain. As someone new to Tesla, I actually love what Tesla did in this update.... the rear Bluetooth headphones, etc, good job Tesla...

    Has anyone tried the new update in rain? Some said that the auto-wipers work better now. Any experiences?

    2023 Model S Air Suspension

    It's standard. As for height setting on P, I don't think so, but you can setup the car to always go to "high" when you arrive your garage or parking location at work and other common areas... Also, you can setup and activate the "Exit" profile and save the seats settings to the highest...

    Super update with new features!! 2023.44.25

    I GOT THE UPDATE TODAY... Rear screens Bluetooth/headphones worked exactly as promised. I was able to connect 2 speakers just fine, and I even tried one headphone and the other as a Bluetooth speaker that I handed next to the child's seat instead of using a headphone. Both Bluetooth devices...

    Snippiness 2.0

    Did you accidentally tag yourself in your comment? Think twice before labeling people’s post with such words. If u’ve got nothing valuable to add to the discussion, best practice is usually to keep the mouth shut if that mouth can only speak such language : )

    Super update with new features!! 2023.44.25

    Almost all manufacturers are trying to develop their own apps and capabilities. If it wasn’t for CarPlay that people would even not buy the car if it doesn’t have it, we would not even know what Waze is… lol Am glad Tesla survived without CarPlay. For other brands, no Carplay is a deal breaker...

    Super update with new features!! 2023.44.25

    For waze integration, Tesla is working on a much nicer technology for the maps. It will include live data sharing among cars such as live/screenshots of hazard on the road,etc, along with AI integration. For Cameras, there is some R&D going for a very impressive visualization that will add...

    Super update with new features!! 2023.44.25

    It’s hard to tell, but 44.25.1 was also revealed so hopefully 44.25.0 will get released soon (certainly this month anyway)
  35. CTruck_BMW

    Super update with new features!! 2023.44.25

    Well, I haven’t yet claimed to be either/or, not that I have the intention to identify on which side I am : )

    Super update with new features!! 2023.44.25

    You are wrong too : ) … That’s not right —> there are photos with S and X rear bluetooth settings
  37. CTruck_BMW

    Super update with new features!! 2023.44.25

    That's not right. They are already confirmed to be included 100%. Even the leaked photos shows the rear screen (anyway only S and X have rear screen "beside the 3 which already got rear headphone updates 3 weeks ago). In theory no other cars anyway are applicable for some* of these features...
  38. CTruck_BMW

    Super update with new features!! 2023.44.25

    Am super excited about this update!. Well, I know majority if people will continue to complain that they need more... To me, these anticipated features alone made my day: Finally separate independent Bluetooth connectivity for rear screen (great for kids, I'll get a Bluetooth speaker installed...

    Finally, rear display Bluetooth speakers

    They’ve said several times in the past that the S and X should get that capability at some point If the new 3 also got it through an update and not right from the beginning then that’s a good sign…

    Finally, rear display Bluetooth speakers

    What a stupid move by Tesla if that is true!!!!! Why would they not make that available to S and X too? They have said many times that this will be made possible via an update. Any reason to believe that S and X will follow next?
  41. CTruck_BMW

    Finally, rear display Bluetooth speakers

    The most recent .38.8 and .38.9 claims that now rear passengers can add and sync up to 2 bluetooth speakers and listen to their videos on the rear display while Front passengers speakers are running another music simultaneously from the front display! Huge update and good job Tesla. My...

    2021+ Front Parking Camera Installed

    So this is one of the best implementations for a retrofit solution that I have seen to date... I never liked those floating screens under the cupholers area or so. Can u post a link to the products and items you used? Does anyone else have any neat retrofit like that too or better options?

    Floor mats suggestions

    I got the 3D MAXPIDER .... They look great, fit is excellent, and they don't have the cheap-looking rubber styling like the Tesla original rubber mats, and instead, the material is just the perfect balance for not being rubber and not being fiber either.

    BMW folks comments on Tesla

    People thought am trolling them when I posted this thread the first time, and some of them even accused me of being a troll and having fun. Yes, I still love everything in my S-class, but because I had genuine intentions when I first posted my thread to learn and ask questions, I am now in my...

    PPF or not PPF

    I have hot water supply in my garage. It's just outstanding that with a light spray of hot water, I can get the car back to ZERO swirl marks and absolutely super shinny PPF as day-1 in a matter if 2-5 minutes. During summer months, parking it under the sun works the same way. To me, PPF is...

    With all the negative press around FSD, I wanted to share a positive accident-avoidance experience this weekend

    Woooww Actually this is really neat!!! Even more impressive that it happened yet there was a no cross shoulder zone and that car still steered away! Still I wouldn’t pay more than 1-2K for FSD though or $50 a month MAX!

    Model S Wind Noise Reduction Kit

    @Excaliber Am glad you are enjoying your car... but I really can believe you did this to your MS!!!.. The silicone looks terrible in the the photo once getting dirty. I'd never put Silicone which is prone to get damaged with heat and cold waves, and even mold. It is just not worth it...

    HW 4 - Front Bumper Camera and Ambient Light

    Not worth the wait, especially, that there is a good chance these features will also come with a price increase that does not even worth the added benefits of these features.
