    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    The headrests look ridiculous.

    Who is waiting on the 2024 changes to order a Plaid?

    I doubt the provide more comfort with the unadjustable elongated headrest and slimmer profile.

    You could always recoup some money by selling your old seats.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    They look fine. I like the overall profile. I’m not sure I like the black on the bolsters, despite loving black and white interiors. The emblem is a nice touch but the headrest just feels way too elongated. I’m sure the seats are retrofittable, just depends on how much you want to pay.

    Who is waiting on the 2024 changes to order a Plaid?

    I didn’t think they did either but if you click plaid, it says “sports seats”. Select the white interior option and they are clearly visible. Honestly Im torn on them. I’m not sure I like the black bolsters on the white back and I LOVE black and white interiors. Also, the elongated headrest is...

    Model S Plaid Badge Placement

    Good morning, I am picking up my car from the PPF shop this afternoon. When they reinstalled the plaid badge, they did not put it in the right place. They stated they would wait for me to reapply the badge and I need some measurements. Would anyone mind measuring it for me? I see a thread with...

    New round steering wheel retrofit

    What in the hell? lol. They can’t transfer the bag? Those part numbers are quite different than mine. The button horn is dangerous. I’ve had a few issues where I hit the airbag forgetting about the button.

    Bumper Alignment

    I just noticed that the left side of my bumper doesn’t sit flush against the black trim near the emblem. Anyone know how I can adjust this at home? Thanks.

    Refreshed Model S - rear seat rattle

    So my rear seat rattle was fixed - the tech adjusted two strikers (which I think was a fix someone else stated in the forums). But...the squeak persists.

    New round steering wheel retrofit

    No luck here with the new 2024 wheel. I asked since they swapped my wheel out due to weak heating. Anyone with the wheel....does it feel "lighter" to you than the yoke? Steering resistance is quite weak on my car despite the mode I put the car in (comfort, standard, sport). It all feels the...

    2022 MS Refresh Front Dash Rattle

    Actually - they aren't. I read the notes and they said they "fixed it"....they didn't. The console does squeak - so that might be a welcome change. They also, on the test drive, said the rear seats were responsible for a different squeaking sound but did nothing to fix them....except break the...

    RGB Ambient Lighting project for Palladium Model S - lets do it

    I wonder if Tesla’s lighting is going to be run off the preexisting wiring and they found a solution? One can hope.

    2022 MS Refresh Front Dash Rattle

    They are going to remove and replace my dash console as well. They fixed most of the squeaking coming from the back of the car but I do hear it from the front still (not the same as this rattle).

    Trim options changed from the earliest plaids. Can’t get wood anymore for example.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    That would be nice. Not holding my breath. Especially for ambient lighting, since that’s an invasive process and I can’t imagine Tesla doing it in house for a nominal fee. Unless, they’re looking for new revenue streams. Unless it’s a simple swap of the opaque trim strips with translucent ones...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I would be very careful with the reps. Most of the time they don’t know very much. He may think you’re referring to the front facing camera on the windshield. And the model S already has ambient lighting. It’s just not the LED, RGB strips.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I'm not sure about "some time". Tesla has been updating the 21+ "Refresh" every handful of months. Interior trim options, steam hardware, plaid writing vs badge, rear screen size changes, tilting front screen, headlight/tail light changes, rear trunk lid from tesla badge to writing "tesla"...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    To be fair, today isn’t done. Ambient lighting can be done for around $2000. Some really don’t care about it. The bumper camera is something that I do care about. I certainly hope that there is a retrofit option for it still weighing in whether or not I want Tesla to buy back the car, it’s just...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Teslascope and Notateslaapp are generally on point. I’d anticipate seeing the new features in the wild within a month. If the camera is retrofittable, especially for HW4 cars, I don’t think it’s going to be a major issue.

    This is another great point. The fact they they’ve gotten away with false advertising for years is a problem. See recent steam lies, horn hardware in existing yokes/wheels, etc…

    Because he didn’t receive the product. The transaction hasn’t occurred. He was satisfied at the time. Times change. He hasn’t taken possession of the car. This isn’t buyer’s remorse. He placed an order fee for the “privilege” of buying a car they incessantly delayed. If they had fulfilled his...

    It’s absolute BS to make him eat the $250. they literally made him wait months, introduced and new feature set, and then now refuse to let him switch his order. It’s pretty ridiculous.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Ambient lighting can already be done. That’s a non issue. If the bumper camera is not housed inside the bumper (via a hole) but is adjacent to it, I can’t imagine not being able to retrofit it. Teslascope is saying it’s for low speed maneuvers and auto park with FSD functionality potentially...

    I think you misread. Some speculated it was in the headlights. It’s not. It’s a bumper camera. I’m holding out hope for a retrofit.

    Per teslascope and others, Tesla will release a bumper camera and rgb lighting for the S and S later today.

    Tesla is rumored to announced ambient lighting and a bumper camera for S and X today. Maybe their implantation can help guide ours.

    Man, with the bumper changes…Now I’m thinking I should’ve let Tesla by back the car. From it sitting in their shop fixing delivery issues to weeks of ppf install problems, I’ve racked up 3100 miles in 5 months. For perspective, I typically drive between 22-25k per year. But between the $5.5k on...

    It hasn’t. It’s been in sport the entire time.

    Why is the steering feel much lighter on my Model S than my Model 3?

    Anyone figure this out? The modes barely change the resistance of my 23 MSP.

    That’s the thing, they don’t. Steering feel remains loose despite the setting. I prefer more resistance.

    Loose Steering

    Hello all. I have a 23MSP with the steering wheel. Regardless of the mode, the steering is very “light”, especially at low speeds. It’s far looser than the loaner with a Yoke I drove, my previous M3P, and my brother’s standard range M3. Anyone experience this?

    First Drive with a Steering Wheel on a Model S

    I have a 23 MSP with the wheel. After over a month with the yoke on a loaner, very glad I got the wheel. My issue is the wheel is far too “loose”. The steering is much looser, despite the mode, when compared to the yoke and my old M3P. Anyone else experience this?

    Tesla releases New Yoke

    I know the 24s have the horn in the center. I'm wondering if one were to have their wheel replaced under warranty if they would get the new one. I have a 23 and the heating is just inconsistent/weak. I'm taking it in to have them look at it and requested that, should it require, they replace the...

    RGB Ambient Lighting project for Palladium Model S - lets do it

    Honestly, with as invasive as the door installation is, I'd almost be happy with just a dash install and leave it at that. I do like the idea of the doors and the back of the front seats having it done, however. But a small lighting touch would be a significant improvement. The lights on the...

    There were a number of paint issues that they bungled up and it took them an inordinate amount of time to fix. These are issues I'd potentially encounter with another car (dealt with Tesla's in the past). They didn't say it was worthy - I requested it because they effed up so many times. They...

    Round steering wheel

    I'm wondering if anyone getting a wheel replacement now is getting the one with the center horn and a camera button, as seen in the '24 Ss and Xs. I'm having mine serviced next week and one of the issues is weak, inconsistent heat from the steering wheel. If they swap it out, I'm going to...

    Slightly jealous of the horn on the wheel. I'm getting mine serviced next week and one of the issues is weak heat on the steering wheel.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Anyone know what the differences are with the 24? What I’ve gathered so far is horn on the airbag, changes to HVAC responsiveness of dual zone climate control and defogger, and faster response on infotainment as well as lower range potentially being related to hvac changes. Anything else?
