    PLAID Raised Emblem Model S Community Input

    I’m thinking since I have a Plaid I’ll go with “TRIPLE”. Maybe it’s already out there.

    Should I reject my current delivery (HW3) for HW4

    I’m waiting for HW5, in the meantime I’m enjoying my 2021 July built Plaid, immensely.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    If one keeps looking for perfection for every issue then you’re not ever going to be able to purchase any car. At some point you have to pull the trigger and enjoy what there is available. 😉😁😉

    I love it whenever someone uses “sanguine” in a sentence. It really should have been the new Tesla red: Sanguine Red !

    Model S manually tilted screen - fixed

    I’ve been studying the pdf Guide and working up my nerve. Wish there was a decent video and then I’d jump on it.

    Model S manually tilted screen - fixed

    When and however it happens I’m all in when Tesla will make it happen. Of course within monetary limitations. I do really want the tilted screen, 3 to 4 inches.

    Does Anybody Else 'Wave' ?

    Well, I ride a bicycle and just pretty much nod when I pass another biker. When I pass another Plaid I want to give him a thumbs up, but it’s usually too late to respond. 😁

    Who's getting the normal steering wheel?

    Software updates have shown to correct left side light issues on the new rounded wheel. I believe you can request the update from Service. My new rounded wheel worked perfectly from the beginning and I don’t really care what shape my Ul shows.

    But is the incredible acceleration from the 3 carbon sleeved motors amazing? And add a little lemon to your butter! I always do with my shrimp/prawns.

    2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

    Hell, I want my 30 years of life to come back.
  14. Laddcruzer

    Has anyone gone from a 911 to a Plaid?

    I agree, having both is the best of both worlds. And when you get older and the Porsche is difficult to get in and out of, the Tesla will always be handy. And can get you where you want to go as fast as you want.

    Model S arrives scratched after 2.5 years of waiting for order

    Seems pretty minor and correctable to me. Go with it and have fun.

    Purchasing Plaid MS soon, do I need aftermarket camber arms etc.?

    Yes, but they look really cool. 😄 Even though you can’t see them once installed. I got them just to be safe and it seems my Plaid actually tracks betting with them. But that could be from getting properly aligned too.

    I assume you are talking 4 inches prior to arousal. 🤣

    Matte PPF on ultra red

    It’s too early for anyone to get that daring but I would love to see it. Could be stunning.

    Who's getting the normal steering wheel?

    It’s not that important to me to see a yoke or a round wheel icon. However, since I did get a round wheel and a round wheel air bag, where is it you see the yoke or round icon?

    Has anyone gone from a 911 to a Plaid?

    Then it’s time for you to get new wheels, suspension and brakes! Hauling kids around and getting groceries at 160 mph is a little insane. 😬

    I agree. Some Techs are totally clueless. In this case you were unfortunate to have one.

    2023 MS Yoke / weird curved line behind "TESLA"

    Yoke or wheel, the airbag direction of deployment should be the same and therefore not a safety issue. That being said, while the airbag module is the same size and interchangeable, Tesla May have modified the size or shape of the inside bag for cost or design reasons and thus gave it a new part...

    Why the heck to you care about self driving capabilities. Aren’t you an individual who likes to DRIVE your own car?

    Ran off the road while trying to find the horn. Aftermarket horn button options?

    I wouldn’t count on getting a real and normal functioning horn on your yoke wheel. The movable center might just be a loose part. 😃 The new air bags that come with the new rounded wheels are not horn capable so I don’t think we’ll see that possibility with a software update. I’d love to be...

    Steering Wheel Retrofit - Questions

    It will be shipped to your Tesla Service center and when they have it you can make a mobile appointment for them to install. Apparently they are out of stock and are waiting on production. Of course they also need the accompanying airbag so they may be out of stock too. Be patient and know Tesla...

    I went to “The Driveway” in San Jose. They have posted in this thread. They definitely know their stuff.

    Model S/X Round Steering Wheel & Retrofit

    If you’re a family guy get the round wheel. Don’t even hesitate. It won’t block a thing.

    Model S/X Round Steering Wheel & Retrofit

    Mobile service guy came to my house today to install the new roundish Tesla wheel and new airbag. He saw I already had an EV Secret round aftermarket Carbon Fiber wheel installed and asked way I wanted the Tesla wheel that‘s so plain compared to what I had. I told him that I believed the new...

    Yoke Steering

    Today I drove my sons new Model 3. While I absolutely love my Plaid it sure was nice having stalks for turn signals and shifting. And an actual horn in the center of the wheel. Come on Tesla, give us S owners the correct configuration and keep us all safer and happier. I know I’m dreaming about...

    Tesla has launched a ROUND steering wheel for the Refreshed Model S and Model X

    Well you are indeed ”The Yokester”. But, from one grandpa to another, keep it under 150 mph. Those grandkids are too precious.🙏

    Have to vent

    I paid over $140,000 ( tax included ) for my Plaid in June of 2021. Do I think it was worth it? Absolutely. The car has been fantastic on all levels. Did I worry about the price dropping and someone else getting the car for a lower price? Absolutely not. There’s nothing I can do about a price...

    Who's getting the normal steering wheel?

    Forget that. Yes, the Yoke or any other rounded after market wheel is worthless without the air bag. Sure you can buy an airbag on Ebay but why does Tesla need to accumulate a bunch of non-usable airbags. Next Tuesday the mobile service is coming to install my new Tesla Round wheel and I think...

    Plaid 19 vs 21

    Is there any auto company or any business in general that you believe exactly what they say? We want to believe but??
  40. Laddcruzer

    Who's getting the normal steering wheel?

    I question is, is the new rounded wheel’s airbag from Tesla really different in its deployment than their yoke airbag. I know the part #s are different but is it really a different design and is it dangerous to use a yoke airbag on a rounded wheel ? I would hope the yoke airbag is compatible...
  41. Laddcruzer

    Who's getting the normal steering wheel?

    They have to let you keep the yoke airbag. I intend to swap back and for from the yoke to the round wheel and visa versa quite often so I’ll need a yoke airbag also. What is Tesla going to do with a Sh-t load of used yoke airbags. I can’t believe they will insist on taking your airbag and...

    My home to office drive is only 3 miles. I didn’t care how short or long of a drive it is. I wanted SPEED when I want it. Which of course means PLAID. Get the Plaid and Arachnids wheels unless you are planning on changing to other wheels like I did. I ended up with Signature 104”s 20 inch. It...

    BUT, IS IT FASTER AND DOES IT LOOK MUCH DIFFERENT? SEEMS THERE IS A MAJOR FOMO FACTOR HERE. OF COURSE IF I COULD AFFORD IT I WOULD PROBABLY GRAB A NEW REFRESH.5 TOO. BUT THEN THERE’S REFRESH.6. THANK GOD I DON’T HAVE A 5 CAR GARAGE. ENJOY YOUR NEWEST BEAUTY.
