    New changes to Model S

    Just a warning about the 2021 Plaid. MY Mod. S 2021 Plaid has 7200 miles. And not a blemish on it. The warning is about if you want to trade this expensive car in. After owning Mod. 3 and Y, my wife now wants the Mod. X Plaid, because we just can't seem to get the rattles taken care of. The dash...

    Is PPF or ceramic coating necessary?

    I had a Model 3, spent the money, and installed the PPF. As I recall, it was about 3K. Now I have the Plaid, and I won't install it this time. If you are traveling down the highway and an 18-wheeler passes you up doing 75 plus MPH, and it kicks up a rock, the PPF is worthless. My wife had a...

    Are rear mud flaps really necessary?

    I'll post some photos soon. Maybe it's just one of those things, but I seem to be getting more rock chips on the rear. I just got my front flaps in from Tesla for my Plaid. I also just got in my Tesla rock chip paint. Hmmm, maybe that's the hold idea. $40 Mud Flaps and $60 paint.

    Funny story re: red light racing

    My fun racing story. My neighbor has a 2021 Lamborghini Huracan. I have a Plaid. I joke with him all the time about doing a pink sheet race. We went to a nearby farm-to-market road. We did a 30 mph rolling start, and a half-mile race. Two days later he still won't answer the door. I want my keys...

    Fix scratch on Yoke?

    I love the yoke steering., While turning, my wedding ring got caught on the upper left of the wheel—no more wedding bands while driving.

    Safety Score after initial 7 days

    I travel two main busy streets here in W. Palm Beach. I keep 5-7 cars behind the car in front of me.....BUT it never fails some idiot cuts me off and my Plaid slams on the breaks which then slams my score. Also, I cannot use the auto lane on these streets. There are emergency blinking yellow...

    Brand new model S plaid in shop within 24 hours of delivery

    It's really hard to find any new car with a certain amount of problems. I have a Plaid and have exterior issues. The BIG BIG problem with Tesla is the Service Dept. Now on my second Tesla, I "love the brand" but I can't seem to find their S.D.

    Model S front Bra?

    I had a Model 3 now I have the S Plaid. Does any owner know of a Bra for the Model S? I had the film on the 3 and I really thought it was a waste of money. I do 3-4 trips a year from Palm Beach Fl to Austin, TX. When a semi passes you on I-10 and kicks up a stone, believe me, the film is...

    I've been fighting this issue for 9 months. (3 red flashes while I have the green stream as it's charging) I've decided to tear it off the wall and just let an election put in a 50 amp wall connect. Just a pain, I called the number and got snapped at.
