    2021 Model Year Refresh: Owners' Thoughts?

    This. I will NEVER buy a Tesla again.

    2021 Model Year Refresh: Owners' Thoughts?

    I’m sick of reading posts like: - you didn’t pay for the feature, it’s for new cars - why do you even want steam? Why are you defending Tesla so staunchly? Bruh. I PAID FOR THIS FEATURE. It was advertised to me, and DEMONSTRATED ON LAUNCH. Also, Tesla does not care about you. They don’t even...

    Retrofit for Steam

    I like the infotainment for when I’m stuck waiting for a restaurant to free a table, etc

    Retrofit for Steam

    The picture that got my attention for this car had Witcher 3 in it. The car I bought cannot play Witcher 3. There was no disclaimer mentioning an upgrade would be required. This is false advertising. If anyone goes the small claims route, let me know how that goes! I may do the same.

    Software Updates

    Just another data point. I have the refresh S, delivered on Sep 27. I’ve had two updates, most recently on Oct 25 to 2021.36.5.1. I opted out of the queue at the end of Nov, and opted in on Dec 25 and am now at a 99 score over 250 miles. I took the car to service on Dec 21, and signed onto...

    2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

    This actually was in a service ticket. They claimed I had the pieces, guess I’ll add a picture of me not having the pieces. Except, I know I can tape it. It feels too janky of a solution for this car; I was hoping they had a proper fix. Now that I know they don’t, I’ll probably tape it.

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Hah. I suppose you’re right. Different usage patterns though. Also, wanted to share since I was super stressed about this whether I’d get to inspect the car prior to accepting delivery: Princeton NJ’s SC let me sit in the car, and fully inspect the interior. I picked the car up at 1pm on a...

    2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

    Has anyone had a confirmed fix of the rear right seat rattle, by an SC, without taping it over? I’ve accepted the window distortion, I don’t think it’s worth ruining the factory seals to fix a non hazard. But that rattle might drive me batshit crazy! I love the car, so I spend a lot of time in...

    It doesn't tip over / fall down. It's a fairly grippy surface, and quite slanted. Update on my rattle: I'm just being picky lmao. Found out what it was. The passenger seatbelt was hitting something. I just kinda shuffled it around a bit, and it's fine now. Additionally, the rear window...

    Folks have mentioned it in the refresh issues thread, it seems widespread. Maybe it’s “within spec”, in which case I should leave it be. You mean the usb-c / thunderbolt ports? Basically any usb-c cable.

    It has arrived! Spent all day playing with it. Amazing car, but a couple issues: 1. Rattle from rear / right. This one’s annoying, so I’m definitely going to get it fixed 2. Distortion on the bottom 2” of the rear windshield, and back 1” of the driver side window (driver side window distortion...

    Delivery agreements are in for 9/27 delivery, so it looks like it’s gonna happen!! Does signing them now mean that I accept the car? Or do I still get my pre-buy inspection / right to reject?

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Call them now and say that. They’ll never pull you forward, but if you ask them to push you back, it might work. They have plenty of folks waiting for a car stat, which actually works in your favor.

    Call me crazy, but it seems like a red flag that you're jumping through hoops to disable a safety feature that protects other people from you, just so that you can have some silence. I'm not trying to attack you here, but like.. read your own post dude. I agree that it could probably be a bit...

    I have in writing from my SC that I’m getting all seasons. If I don’t get them, I’ll go to them with the email and see what they can do. There’s precedent that you can get a free swap.

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Haha, I've had similarly frustrating calls. The most common lie seems to be, "I'm seeing exactly what you're seeing." We know that they see more than the EDD based on several anecdotes on this forum. If they just told us what they saw, we'd probably call less frequently. I know that they can't...

    I've heard that Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk aren't out on the car just yet. You might just have to impress him with how quick the car goes zoom for now, haha. I'd imagine PS5 controllers work, but you wouldn't get any of the exciting bits that come with those controllers (enhanced haptic feedback...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    That's a fair point. I'd counter with: I'm not looking to drive the car before paying. The wrinkly seat argument has some merit to it, but I'd argue, if you go through more than two rejections for one car, there's probably something wrong with the car, for its price point. I'd question the...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Yeah, but like.. if the car’s already delivered / on the way to a specific location, there’s nothing you can really do. So now, I have a week to figure out what Princeton is going to do.

    That’s fairly upsetting. I’m used to being able to get in the car and check it out before handing over the check, even with ICE

    They must have made a batch of red black 19” LRs, I’m seeing a lot of us post now, whereas I hadn’t seen too many twin orders before.

    I’m actually more worried about not having the creep option for parking, than having the yoke. Using the gas pedal to get out of a tight parallel park situation sounds stressful! I hear that the creep option is not available in the refresh S.

    Call Plymouth and Progressive. They seem to have the best rates for Teslas. Although, that could be region specific.

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    I’m 26, and I’m gonna be paying 1100/year with Plymouth Rock. Alternative was 1300/year with Progressive. The other folks were pretty high though, some upto 3400/year. No one else on my policy though. Plus, I have it as used for pleasure, because I don’t commute by car; I take the train.

    You called? Yeahh... I haven't even gotten it yet, and I know the yoke will be lesser-than. I just don't know how much lesser-than it will be. Maybe I'll adjust to it, but it'll always be lesser-than. It works great for planes, bc you only turn it like 20 degrees, and you have to push...

    I’m impressed by one fact here. You soloed a few years before my plane was built! Appears that interest rates have gone up. If you applied for financing, and got a VIN, double check if your financing is still valid. I’m tempted to pay cash, but I’m still pretty confident I’ll easily make more...

    Correction: my loan HAS in fact expired. Tesla is working on getting it re-approved. My car is passing the Nevada / Utah line right now, and is slated to arrive in Princeton on 9/26, so I'll probably get to see it on 9/28. That's about what I have set for my insurance change over date, so that...

    Question: has anyone received a car yet, where the worm is not present? If so, what are the three digits after the factory ident? (The part in parenthesis for MF(...)...). Mine is 443. I fully expect to see the worm, but I'm curious if that's changed.

    I still remember allowing a salesman to upsell me on payment gap insurance. My down payment was 32%. I NEVER had an upside down loan, for the entire life of the car. PLUS, I think it would've made more sense to get gap insurance from my car insurance company. But he just kept talking and...

    Eyy, nice. I have to admit, I'm definitely not brand loyal to Piper. But the Arrow is quite the machine. I do hope to move to a Diamond in a couple years though, unless I catch the multi-engine bug! $8/hr though... that's BONKERS to me.

    I feel ya. I'm really nervous about the quality of this car. I'm ready, willing, and able to say "no" to a crappy build, if that's what they present me with. That being said, based on what I've heard, I've got nothing to worry about. Sure, there are people that are very vocal about the issues...

    I reached out to my delivery center to see when we can schedule delivery. They said that since it’s just leaving the factory, I can expect to schedule a week from today (for sometime two weeks or so out from today). They said not to expect it till the end of the month, which matches the EDD of...
