Yup, been sitting looking all ready except for the transformer for quite some time...

You mean like my Model S Plaid has depreciated dropping $40k overnight due to price drops? Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love my car and never plan on selling it, but I can't say it didn't sting a bit with that price drop! I do agree with you though for N. America cars with legacy CCS...

I wonder if the red calipers improve performance or are just red in color? I had my stock silver ones painted a pretty rose copper/gold color, so would hate to swap them out but would love better braking. Maybe I just need the new pads?

I drove all over that shopping complex last night and still no progress at the location they show on the map. Just seems odd the address mismatch...

I got my Model Y in Jan 2021 and it is the fastest vehicle I've ever owned with a 0-60 of 4.8sec. Since I was coming from a RAM 1500 pickup, it was quite a change but I love driving my Model Y. After 26k miles in Houston heat and bad roads, what I really missed from the RAM were the ventilated...

Update: They did amazing work on the hinges at the Service Center. If you didn't know where to look, you would not see anything wrong. VERY happy to see that resolved. Now waiting on the under-door rocker panel to finish getting painted and installed. Then it is off to get PPF. Couple of...

Very sad they excluded Tesla. Guess I will keep looking for other comparisons that are more inclusive.

Very nice! I have questions!!!! How much does it weigh? How much did it cost you? Where do we order? hahaha

Edit, no delivery... driver side front and rear doors where out of alignment and someone had attempted to adjust them with I'm guessing a hammer because there are strike marks on the hinges and missing paint where the hinges moved.... Had to postpone my PPF appointment.

Count your blessings they found and are fixing the issues. I showed up at my 2pm delivery appointment today and found that my driver side front and rear doors were not aligned properly. When I looked closer, someone had adjusted them with what must have been a hammer on the hinges and then...

I have my Model S Plaid being delivered May 31, and it will directly get Xpel Satin PPF and rose gold painted calipers. Figure that will make it a bit different than the rest.

Probably Long Range vs. Plaid... then again, Tesla loves them some LOLs so maybe it is your TMC handle of EightYears‽‽‽‽ Actually, the theory that @chirowolf posted the other day about Elon following the spirit of the Monkey mountain god was the best I've ever heard. hahahaha Wiki - Model S...

You my friend are a GENIUS!!! That was so perfect. Thank you... I needed that!

Oh man, then you missed out. It was epic and the PERFECT explanation. Then again, I love that song so...

I got my VIN last night and the EDD tightened!!! 🥳 The text they sent to my phone saying I got my VIN assigned looked automated, but I replied back asking what was the build date. To my surprise, I received a response of May 10th... So, three days before it was assigned to me. I hope that is a...

I got my VIN last night and the EDD tightened!!! 🥳 The text they sent to my phone saying I got my VIN assigned looked automated, but I replied back asking what was the build date. To my surprise, I received a response of May 10th... So, three days before it was assigned to me. I hope that is...

WOW, very beautiful! See you on the roads... I drive I-45 and Beltway 8 west side all the time in early mornings and about 3-5pm in evenings.

Well today when I looked it now shows May 26 - June 11 so window is getting a bit narrower, but entrance pushed out 4 days. Then again, we have a drunk monkey spinning the estimated delivery wheel so who knows... 🍺🍻🐒. If Tesla has amazing AI, they haven't applied it on the delivery window...

Something happened today! Went from a date window of May 22 - June 26 to just TBD: Delivery timing will be available soon. I did the source code search on the website but no sign of a VIN assigned yet. I'm hopeful!!!!

Welcome to the Tesla way of continuous improvements. Since that refresh you mention, they added the tilting screen. Also, retrofits don't appear to be high on their priority list with the insane demand they currently have.

Agreed, haven't heard anything on the horn and that is what I care about more than the tilting screen. Only good thing about the EDD monkey playing with me is that I'm hopeful I maybe get that feature. Not sure I can train this old brain to not push in the middle when I need it in a hurry.

That is actually surprising you haven't had a change in over a month. Maybe a good sign? hard to know. That Red/White combo is going to be GEORGEOUS by the way!

Here is the other angle captured. I'm thinking maybe 15 degrees?

Yup and a screen capture of the full tilt seems very far from 45 degrees.

Hahaha, we answered at almost the same time with the same idea. Great minds think alike! 🤓

I've never done this, but I wonder about a Limited Power of Attorney. She could name you to sign on her behalf? I'm sure it is dependent upon state, but might be something to explore. What’s the Deal With Power of Attorney and Car Loan Refinancing? - RateGenius

For the occasional 0-60 blast! I'm in the same boat, ordered a Model S Plaid with 19" wheels as my daily driver. I'm in a Model Y LR now and love to play the efficiency game. Looking forward to air ride suspension, cooled seats, and the option to put a smile on my face from time to time.

Great googly moogly I NEED this!!!! Amazing and almost exactly what I want to do to mine when I get it. Congratulations... it is beautiful beyond words. I'm going to go and stare at these pictures for the next few hours...

This one works, or just go find one. :)

Well, the drunken monkey has struck again... was getting too close to my EDD window so he pushed me out to May 22 - June 26. I'm really starting to hate this monkey! 🍺🍻🍺🍻🍺🍷🍷🍷🐒

Would be very surprised if you got a VIN assigned with old headlights and taillights. Then again... who knows? If you do, I would be VERY suspect of problems or bodywork repairs. 🤔🔎

I'm hoping my EDD stays true. The random monkey EDD changes are all in my signature. Ordered on Feb 23rd, so we will see... All I have to look at are a screen capture of the render below and pictures of others being delivered. Keep those pictures coming!!!! :cool:

Congratulations, she is a beauty! Looking forward to seeing more pics and your upgrades.

I didn't sniff him, but the Tesla Power technician claims he cut it off and replaced the cable on the supercharger with a new one. Could be other reasons why they did this vs. the remote unlock. For all we know, the car is bricked and the supercharge didn't work.

I did a bit more digging and got on the Facebook Tesla Owners of San Antonio Texas group and found some where some other people were posting about it. Looks like it was being driven by a prisoner and was impounded! License: RKD 5390 VIN: 5YJSA1E50MF430523

Hahahaha, that is awesome! I'm going with it!

Very plausible, but I was also at that Supercharger on Saturday on my way into San Antonio and it wasn't there. Got there either on Sunday or Monday early...

You know, I look at the VIN but didn't take a picture... it was in the 430,XXX range...

Cord was cut by Tesla Power technician whom I chatted with at the location. He said that he put a new cord on the charger. He also said that those charge cords are only good for a bit more than 1,000 charge cycles and then are replaced anyway. It was dirt/dust, not white. I'm in agreement...

Saw this at the San Antonio I-10 Supercharger and it just about made me cry... 😭😭😭 Almost the exact car I have on order except it isn't a Plaid. Story is that it was abandoned somewhere and they had a wreaker bring it over to charge but couldn't unplug since they didn't have a key. Tesla Power...

Oh yeah, like cat hairball gagging sounds...

Wife looked at EDD this morning and the Monkey struck again but in a good way!!!! 🐵🐵. Ordered 2/23/22 RN11658XXXX - EDD 3/23-4/20, 5/18-6/15, 3/13-3/25, 6/10-7/8, 4/29-6/10 🐒

Wow, great video and excellent advice. Thank you! 🙏

Oh... I missed that too. :oops:

Did you get a VIN high enough to get the new refreshed headlight, taillights, charger port door, etc???

Yup, I feel your pain... 😢

Yup, the range is a tough one to wrap your head around with Tesla. Most of us switch to battery percentage vs. mileage displayed. Makes life a bit easier to deal with. SO many factors impact mileage on vehicles that are so efficient. It is hard to wrap your head around the fact that a Model...

Hmmm, odd. I'm Houston, TX and was scheduled for March 13 - 23 and just got pushed back to June 10 - July 8. I'm Model S Plaid / Blue ext. / Black int. / 19" Tempest.

Would love those wheels, but the mileage hit is what got me. Since I'm coming from a Model Y where I've averaged 241 Wh/M, I just could stomach it! :p Oh, and I'm wanting best ride possible too... my model Y is a bit rougher than I like. Those wheels look amazing, you are going to love them.
