Absolutely wonderful dogs! I had Clio for about 15 years and I'm sure I'll have another one at some point.

A question about the 2021.36 yoke improvements, since I'm apparently stuck with 2021.32.22 for an indeterminate time - is the responsiveness of the physical scroll wheels any better? On my 2018 S every detent of the scroll wheel registered with whatever function was active on it, but on the...

I'll take the free bump! That is an IG - Clio looks a bit stoned in that photo because she had just taken a sedative in preparation for a plane ride.

I noticed an odd behavior today in my refresh MS, firmware 2021.32.22. The first unusual thing, for reference, was that there was a child in the backseat and a teenager in the front passenger seat. I don't have kids, so this was an exciting (?) experience for me. Anyway the one in the front...

Jeez I don't know how people are getting scores in the 90s. Mine just inched from 80 to 81 and I was thrilled! My insurance company is hawking their own app-based "monitor your driving for a lower rate" thing and this sort of thing is the reason I'd never go for it. Like ... I know everyone...

I'm also stuck on 2021.32.22 and really anxious to get off of it; it has been a real step down reliability-wise from the previous build I have (don't remember the number, egh). Autopilot is noticeably worse both in town and on the highway, and the main screen & instrument cluster crash/reset at...

I had this issue when I got my refresh a few weeks ago. Coming from a 2018 MS, I found that I frequently had to make 2 attempts to close the front driver's side door, and the front passenger's side door took enough of a slam that even the person at the delivery center thought maybe it needed...

Does syncing of SMS messages work for other people? I can see contacts, calls, and calendar on the big screen but not messages (it just says "new messages will appear here"). This worked for me in the 2018 MS.

It does still fold. And in fact you can remove it without folding down the seats, it just (for me at least) takes a bit of fiddling. It could be that I just haven't found the trick yet, but I've done it once by accident so maybe I just need practice.

Hah! I have this huge pile of photos and notes waiting for me to sit down and write a post and I keep not getting to it. I have, however, managed to put nearly 1000 miles on the car in the last week. Anyway if I can get the big post that's in my head out in a dozen or so replies, then I don't...

The parcel shelf removes differently than before and is a bit harder to remove without first folding down the back seats (though you can). It's a bit thicker than the old one, and seems much more rigid, but isn't any heavier. Definitely not interchangeable. The quality of the carpet on the...

Yeah, there's definitely another light that lights up when you turn; I initially thought it was just turning on the fog light on that side but it does appear to be an independent LED. It does a decent job of illuminating the corner but I haven't seen any indication that it moves. Maybe it's...

Both the refresh and the 2018 (which is sitting waiting to be sold) got updated to 2021.32.10 last night. Of course there was also a tropical storm here so I didn't really get a chance to play yet but there are definitely some visual differences. If I wanted Sirius, I'd be happy that it's...

For me (2021.11.102) if I try to browse the owners manual it'll crash, but if I open it and search for something specific, it works fine.

Jeez I don't know who I pissed off but I'm still sitting on 2021.11.102, even with "Advance" selected ...

You're welcome, glad to help!

A couple more, much closer in: ... This one shows my two major gripes with the center caps: one, they're flat (physically, like the face is flat) and leave a noticeable gap around them which makes them look much more aftermarket. Two: those nicks and dings are factory, we didn't do that...

Aah, hadn't gotten to that yet, sorry. It's dark out so these are in garage lighting, which isn't necessarily awesome but there are a couple of photos here with more direct light and a couple that are more shadowed which I think gives a reasonable impression of how the caps look in different...

Same as everyone else here with the same config? Only slightly less than I paid for the house I live in? Oh I got the $2k pre-refresh discount so maybe a tad less than some folks. It's not a Plaid so way less than those folks. I know there are a lot of folks on here who are not OK with...

This is exactly why I wanted to do this simple test. In my head - if there was not a useful gain in efficiency, or some other measure, I can't imagine why Tesla would have gone the hubcaps route. They do it on other models too! There must be something to it, right? But an improvement that's...

The ride quality is excellent, and the cabin noise is low. The suspension comfort was set to "auto" and there were several spots on the road where the car automatically raised the suspension level "to improve ride comfort." I guess it worked? I never saw a notice that it was re-lowering it...

During the first run there was definitely more traffic; for most of the second run there were no nearby cars. That also meant a bit more slowing down/speeding up on the first run, where the second run was mostly just maintaining speed. Temperature-wise, things were pretty close. First run...

Hey all, So after a wait that we're (mostly) all familiar with, I picked up my S with 19" wheels on Friday. Before picking it up, based on photos I'd seen online, I was sort of waffling on hubcaps vs no hubcaps vs different wheels; the hubcaps looked OK in photos, and the wheels looked ...

It's great to hear this sort of thing. Since they said it would be a warranty issue if the doors need adjusting, I'm probably going to leave it alone for now ... in a week or so if I'm no longer having to shut the door twice every time, I'll probably just let it go.

I mostly had music turned off on the drive home, to listen for squeaks and rattles, but when I got home I sat in the driveway and listened to music and I'll say that yeah, the sound system was a tad disappointing. The subwoofer seemed to be missing? Like low bass was just not there. The rest...

Hah ... a photo is probably a better for this one. The best way I can think of to describe it - there's this packaging material they use on heavy objects sometimes, where they put a thin layer of plastic on it, then spray in polyurethane expanding foam, close the plastic, then seal the box; the...

When I had the SA try the front passenger door, he agreed that it seemed to take more effort than it should to close, though he wasn't so sure on the driver's door. He brought the QA guy to look at it, but that guy just slammed it and said it was fine. His suggestion was that maybe everything...

Y'all. Y'all! I picked up the car today, finally! I walked around it at the SA and only found a couple of minor things; overall the fit and finish seem great. I'd take photos but it's pouring down rain at the moment. Manufacturing date says August btw. There are a few minor issues that...

I'm scheduled for Thursday of next week. I'm told the car is already on a truck headed for Texas.

I've got one coming, my delivery date is now a fixed day and time (next Thursday!), and the car is supposedly on a truck to Texas so that's exciting.

Thanks for the pics, these are awesome! Where did you get the center caps? Those plus the little plastic lug caps and it would look downright reasonable

That's what they told me when I called today too, it'll be around 72 hours before delivery. 🤷‍♂️

I'm hoping to get it at the Westchase location but haven't actually talked to anyone yet so we'll see.

Woohoo! I get to jump on the VIN Announcement bandwagon, got my VIN apparently at 2am Central time 😄 they work late in California! Same 5YJSA1E56MF439--- range that other people are getting today. AND my delivery window tightened up to to a solid week. So now all I need to do is hunt down...

So aside from my original 2/15-3/15 EDD, I got my first EDD that had actual dates back on 8/10: window of 8/26-9/15. Today, in a first since 8/10, when I checked this morning the date range was the same as yesterday: 8/29-9/7. I choose to interpret this as a positive sign 😃 Still no VIN but...

After nearly a year of almost consistently blank EDDs, I'm seeing actual movement on mine! Still no VIN but so far this week my EDD has been: On 8/10: 8/26-9/15 On 8/12: 8/24-9/13 On 8/13: 8/25-9/6 ... so it's getting better? I guess. I'll be even more excited when a VIN appears but this...

Yeah! What's sad is I'd finally gotten better about only checking this stuff once a day, and sometimes skipping weekends, and now I know I'm gonna be back to refreshing that stupid page every few hours 😅

Woohoo! I, too, got an e-mail and EDD range today. This is the first time I've had an EDD with an actual date range (the last couple were "June" and "July") so now I'm looking at maybe 8/26 - 9/15, though still no VIN so 🤷‍♂️

How hard was it to pop the cover off? Did you need to pry with anything or were you able to just pull it off? Thanks for the photos btw!

Well my "July" EDD lasted all of a day, back to Blank now. Seems like some people get new date ranges every few days, but mine has been blank since January with very little variety. Don't know what it means (if anything) but I'll say it's nicer to have nothing than something that's constantly...

My delivery date has been blank since January, aside from a week in May when it said "June" but today it says "July." Now ... without a date range, and being already halfway through July, and also the whole 19" thing, I'm not making any phone calls to the bank or anything but it's nice to see...

People on this list have the cleanest garages! I had a remote service guy come for my current S and spent like half a day trying to make the garage presentable 😅 Whenever I get mine, I'm going to have to drive it somewhere nice to take photos

I still have my doubts about that blue S with the 19" wheels. Like ... it all looks fine, but a) this is the only one we've seen, and b) there's no Tesla logo on the center cap. Another photo of that car was floating around last week. On the regular configurator on the web site, the dark...

Oh wow, love to see that. An odd thing though: No Tesla logo on the center cap? Like ... Ok, they changed from silver to (basically) black and it looks better but they couldn't spring for center caps? In 30 years of owning cars I can't think of a set of wheels that didn't have a logo on the...

Well for the first time since I placed my order (December 2020) an SA called me, to confirm that I still wanted the car. She said that they (Westchase in Houston) were looking at maybe getting a Model S that people can test drive some time in August, if I wanted to test drive it. I said no...

TBF I didn't know it was there because I just have browser tabs open to this thread and the big one so unless someone mentions the thread and it's not on a page I skip, I'd never know. One day I'll get the actual car and maybe look for other threads 😄

Hah another thread to follow! I ordered 19s in December and had mid-Feb to mid-March as my delivery date until the refresh was announced, then blank until May; had "June" as an EDD for like a week and then it went back to blank. Part of me wonders why some people seem to just stay blank all the...

I've had EDD (Estimated Date Dysfunction) for months now ...

I have been making somewhat liberal use of the "Ignore" feature and it's really helped my mood in general

I'm sure I'll be here with you! Aside from "June" as an estimated delivery date (for a whole week, in May) I've had bupkis on mine since the refresh was announced. Sticking with the 19" hubcaps though unless they upgrade me to the Arachnids for free 😄
