And if Tesla wanted to make such a vehicle, why not just proceed with the Roadster 2?

If they do, the MS might be a keeper...

But those cars have USS perhaps. That's worth something, at least until the next update disables them....

With suspension set on high, and a strong LED light, yes. Maybe some cardboard to lay on.

Yes, in my case: Front, back, and a bit on the battery case. It's what's happens when you leave the suspension in low, and drive the car off the truck carrier in insane mode.

There are various checklists on this thread. Be sure to look for seat wrinkles and damage under the car.

I recall it's pretty easy to do. Did they break anything in the process?

I have just noticed the new change in the recommended charging level in the App. It is now 80% for daily driving.

Recently, I have had a problem with both front wireless charging pads. It might be temperature related. Seems to work when the interior is cooler. More research needed.

Get a checklist, and be prepared to reject an EoQ build. The are always build quality issues, the question is if you can live with them.

First you have to identify the disease. Its called EDD. Endless Delivery Disorder. In your case, it will likely cure itself in 10 days, not 10+ months, like some here on this thread.

Paying any attention to Elon's promises after all this years, is..."Just Insane"

Use mobile service to avoid the SvC "Experience" it's less than 5 min for the seatbelt inspection.

Had the seat belt recall done by Mobile. A real nothing burger. Belt attachment indicator not intuitive, I suspect that caused the problem on some cars. My only significant problem is the oft mentioned rear seat rattle. I'll fix that one day myself. No vibes yet at 38-42 or 80. But then...

True but Need to factor in the time spent in service to fix the problems. Or time spent to fix it yourself.

Expect vibrations, rattles, excessive tire wear and seat wrinkles to be deemed to be "Normal" and "Functioning as Designed"

But..soon they will have real ambient lighting!

In general, the BMS in the MS packs calibrates and balances all the time. There is NEVER a need to go to 100%, and doing so will NEVER benefit your pack. If for some reason, your pack is out of calibration, it will adjust as needed should you approach the bottom end of pack capacity. Fact...

That's like 13 times the power of the base Vega, and 7 times the Cosworth ( I had both) But the plaid only has 30% more power than the LR. I have rode in a plaid on a private airstrip. Impressive, but I could rent one for many days on Turo for the price difference.

They can refresh all they want, as long as they let me keep my USS, I have no regrets. At least that's what I'm telling myself.

That would put you in the window for a 2O24 VIN.

Unsubstantiated post....there will be a free RGB upgrade kit for those that were screwed out of STEAM, and game playing rear screens, and functional ARNR.

I'm thinking more like "soon" after Roadster 2 deliveries...

Yep...but no need to wake up the car to check status like windows, tires, temp or SoC if you have Teslafi.

Update...'22 MSLR with 7500 miles. Stored at 50%, unplugged, covered, indoors for 8 weeks while I was in Argentina. Did not wake the car up, monitored by Teslafi. Ending SoC 33%, used 17kw or 13w/hr average. Recharged to 50%. Rated range is now slightly GREATER at 401 miles than when I left...

I'm not in Texas, but if you see something you don't like, just walk away.

As a former TSLA shareholder, thanks for your support...

Visit the store again and meet with your SA. Insist on at least 30 minutes of inspection, with the car open, before you accept delivery. Don't be afraid to reject, and don't expect them to fix anything but the most minor issues.

I've stemmed the depreciation bleeding a bit by selling all shares of TSLA just now. Only 20k of realized gains for the year, every bit helps though. Who knows what 2024 will bring. No regrets. I did not know Elon was crazy when I got into this ecosystem 5 years ago.

Tilting screen and STEAM and updated lights are possible on the 22, also has 12% more warranty

Some changes are not difficult to get used to. What @zoomer0056 said, plus... 1) Hinges (Tilting screen, etc) 2) 1050 miles/hr charging speed as high as 30%SoC. 3) 250 wh/mi efficiency at highway speeds over 65. 4) 360-380 mile range (real world) 5) Fantastic HVAC and ventilated seats...

There is a service bulletin on this. If you are under warranty it would be fixed for free, but it easy to do yourself.

It's just Tesla being Tesla.

IDK....I don't mind if dealers go to hell.

Here is another data point. My MS has been vibration free for two months! But it has not moved in that time as I have been 8000 miles away.

Free beer and topless bargirls and vibration free MS... Tommorow! (Hope springs eternal)

But the Tesla Ambient lighting is half assed.

To add insult to injury, among the many upgrades to the highland is infinite adjustable rgb ambient lighting around the whole cabin. Will the MS ever get this in future production? I doubt it. Upgrades? No way.

H Hinges and lights too

I'm thinking Elon is a Sadist. BOHICA

A service visit and they not only attempted to fix your problem, and did not break anything in the process? I'd consider yourself lucky.

An exterior roof cover (Garage or trees) really helps too.

The EPA rated consumption for a 2022 MSLR is 241 Wh/mi. You should be able to achieve this at speeds around 60mph, and moderate A/C.

Yeah, hard to like the 19" with those cheap wheel covers, but have you tried this?

Think positive, as Tesla has stated publicly: "The best service is no service"

Welcome to Tesla. Paint is not their strong suit. The only thing worse is service. Cut your losses and stay the hell away from the SvC. Tip, a clear wrap may hide a lot of defects, and prevent some future ones.

Yes, because if the AC, fans and pumps come on, it will take that into account. In my case 6Kw AC charge overnight outside in mid 50 deg temps, monitored by SMT. The point I would like to make it it seems not to make sense to charge the new MS cars above 50% any more than you need to for the...

Maybe some are rejects.

Has not been my experience on the 85pack. 2 months storage, twice, within 5 miles of RR when charged to a moderate level when I got back. The few times I went to 100% actually lost a mile half the time. Nor seeing need for high states of charge with the Refresh MS. Going from 50 to 88% less...

Per EPA data, and some data from my longer trips, 241wh/mi
