    Used 2021 Model S LR refresh, Is this a good deal?

    $65K seems like a great deal. I sold my 21 Refreshed S for 98K only a year ago. Less miles on it but still. 65's is a steal.

    Tesla App outage -- universal or local?

    Had the same issue on 25th. Rebooted car and phone, nothing. Used key card. Have an iphone and looked at the App Store and the Tesla app needed an update. After updating and cycling bluetooth off and on, car came to life. Sure felt like it had something to do with app update.

    Yoke Steering

    Yeh driving staight on the autobahn or freeways the yoke is fine, except you can't occasionally use your leg to hold car staraight like we all do at times. The problen is really daily driving and having to look at yoke to find blinker and horn image. And that stupic little car image you need...

    Looks like they are removing stalks from the 3/Y

    About the 2021 Yoke S I sold. 1. Auto gear selection wasn't 100% correct 2. Horn needed to be under airbag. mashing right side worked but also made wipers cycle once. They must have forgotten to QC that 3. Can never use the knee to hold straight momentariy as we all do. Would cause car to...

    Should I change the wheels?

    IMO, keep the 20's! downgrading wheel size will save you less than 20 bucks a month in charging costs.

    Ugh. No good having to look for blinker touch point most of the time

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Got my VIN today. Scottsdale Tesla called to tell me. OOD April 3rd. Model 3 LR, MSM, black int, 19’s, no FSD. Original window was: 7/15 to 8/1, then a month ago moved to 6/18 to 7/5, then on the 18th it bumped back to 6/28 to 7/12. With VIN 297xxx window is now showing 6/25 to 7/2. 83 days...

    Model S Refresh Airbag Horn Being Enabled

    Nothing weird, but everybody will have to glance at blinker buttons and a small stalk on left of yoke would have been the way to go. Simple having horn in center too. In airplanes, having all those useful controls and buttons on the yokes are so you can do things while still clearing out...

    Model S Refresh Airbag Horn Being Enabled

    Having to look at the yoke each time you want a turn signal or horn is a huge Tesla fail.

    Vacations Parked

    I would like to know pro's and con's too. I just left mine in garage for 2 weeks while out of country on 110 power with sentry mode on. keeping the charge at 80% so basically it charges in early morning the 10 miles it burns on sentry mode per day. I don't know the difference in cost (and...

    Looking for thoughts on Model S LR (refresh) vs. M3P

    Driving with the yoke is not a big deal. Great visibility but for sure taking your eyes off the road to find the blinker is ridiculous. At least the right blinker should have been on right side of yoke. I find I just don’t use blinker much anymore unless stopping quickly with someone behind...

    Refresh S Stereo

    I pretty much blast my favorite rock and roll songs in my Airpods but for me, my refreshed S sounds fantastic at the audio levels comfortable for driving, most would agree. IMO of course, but then again I like the look of the 19" Cardenio wheels over the 21" Arachnid's

    It was a 9 month wait. This car rocks. For everybody’s info: Ceramic tint on front windshield 70%, still a little bright in the AZ sun. 20% on all other windows…perfect! PPF everything forward facing, plus A frames, rockers, and behind rear wheels. Still a few rocks breaking...

    Too often. Theres a big 2 mile freeway merge curve rarely used close to me where you can safely hit 150 (safely 😀). Had to try it out but only hit 120 due to the balancing.

    My LR delivery was set for next Tuesday. Waited 8 months. Today I was out in Scottsdale delivery facility area so I decided to look for my car. No luck so I asked the service delivery guys it’s status and about getting that 2K taken off so I could get a cashiers check ready for Tuesday...

    He does but he’s in california and as it turns out my VIN is 25 #’s before his. He got a call for pickup 2 days later and when he agreed, then a VIN assigned so probably the original buyer backed out.

    Anyone in AZ had issues with not making final payment online like they are asking me too, and just bringing a cashiers check to delivery appointment? 1. The 2K discount not applied yet and 2. Need to see car in person first, as we all know.

    EDD Sep 3-10. That’s tomorrow. No VIN. RN 114397. January order. It feels like they would rather me cancel then sell mine to someone else for the 12K more, the current cost over my price. My brother with same config, ordered after me for more $$, has his car already. Feels unethical.

    After 7.5 months I got a Sept 3-10 EDD today. No VIN. Tried to call my SA and call forwarded to the Tesla dude in Texas who never has any real info. He did say they if you don’t have a VIN I wouldn’t expect that 3-10 date range to be accurate but thought I would have my car by 30 Sept...

    Secondly, we shouldn't shite on people for how they pay for their cars. Everybody's $$ situation is different. A guy in his 60's with 4M liquid might not think twice about writing a 100K check for a car.

    I don't think the 2021.5 Tesla S LR will be as depreciating as prior times. If I ever get my Jan order, I'm paying 12K less than if I purchased it today. I'm betting with the current inflation situation, the LR will cost around 110-120K in lets say, about 3.5 years from now. I'm betting my...

    This Plaid was at the Scottsdale delivery center and they were rushing me away from it So my pics aren’t great. I was going with aftermarket 20” SV 104’s because IMO the 21’s were too much wheel and not enough tire, missing something in center area, and all the other issues with 21’. My...

    Thanks for the 19“ pics. To me the free wheel looks like 7 lobster forks and the $4500 21’s look like an effed up Star of David. But the 19’s powder coated for $500 to match the black trim and some red brakes for $500, it might look better than what’s currently out there aftermarket. Then...

    I drove a new M3P yesterday. I found a sliding brake regen scale that I could slide between 0-100%. It didn’t seem to be operational yet. Anyone with the new refreshed S seen this as an option? SA was surprised. Hopefully coming in future SW updates.

    Probably been asked but too many pages to search. I have a NEMA 14-50 outlet on a 50 amp in my garage. Have the refreshed S’s delivering with a 20’ charging cable with a few different adapters like a basic 120 and a 14-50? Thanks in advance.

    Solar is as divided as this country’s politics. My house is so well insulated, solar is a 12 year payback. I’ve moved 8 times in my adult life. So to prepay my electric bill for 12 years. Not a chance. Won’t be there long enough. But understandably it works for folks intending to stay put.

    I want 265/40-20 with 295/35-20 so I went with the 19’s. But Tesla should offer me the 21’s for $4500 extra not the $11500 extra, in my case with pre-refresh order. I would do it to get my car now. In my 7th month not a peep from Tesla

    PPF. I live in AZ. Rocks flying everywhere. Front of car and windshield trashed within a year. PPF everything forward facing about 2k. Then a dude comes to house and ceramics the rest of car for 2K. Best window tint 1k. 5K investment on a the 90k + car so it still looks new 5-10 years later. 👍👍

    I thought I saw a few Archinad wheels on those dusty cars in temp lot. Sure hoping those cars have other issues and will never be delivered. None of the VIN’s we’ve seen are the low numbers from those parked cars. Seriously think the decision to go dark 19’s was just made late and the...

    DUKEofURL said: "Before EOQ, all changes had to be made via them “opening a case” to get an option changed. Tesla’s policy is that any change results in current pricing, but I think they were granting exceptions in order to squeeze cars out before EOQ. Now, I’m not saying to trust your SA...

    I think the 19’s aren’t being delivered because somethings wrong with them or the way they perform. There seems to be hundreds in the Temp lot. And $4500 extra for 21’s being a business decision…nah….red paint is worth 2500 and cream interior 2K. That’s $4500 extra. If those silver wheels...

    The Scottsdale SA’s have no clue about any 19” delays. Said I could switch to 21’s but would loose my 2K pre-refresh discount and go to back of the line. I’m pretty sure that’s not true. Tesla please call and offer me 21’s. Because if it’s October till we see 19’s I’ll probably wait for a...
