Thank you. For what it’s worth this was what Tesla Service Center recommended as the best alternative that was currently available on tire rack…slim pickings it seems...

Picked up a nail in one of my rear 21 inch OEM tires. FYI - after 2 hours plus of searching online / calls to local service centers these tires are not available any time in the near future. My local tire shop (which is excellent) exhausted every vendor and connection they had with no joy...

Absolutely, next one may be a PlaId, don’t tell Mrs DLCT though. Great to see you spreading positivity as always and also to see @Hayseed_MS, just need to get a like from @Tigers and it will be like old times. Be well all. this forum is always great!

Haven‘t checked in here recently but 1 year to the day since I picked up the MSLR so felt like I was overdue a post. I see that the delivery monkey is still up to the same old tricks and quality control is, on balance, about the same. No regrets, love the car, the yoke, the minor panel gaps, the...

100% agree, I already have that with my insurance guy, totally on that

Thank you , yeah all,good, it’s a little worse than the picture shows but not awful. I was joking about the headlights. As long as they put them back in the right place I’m fine. its 100% on the other guys insurance , sure it will be fine, good excuse to post and check in with you all. Best to...

Evening all, been some time since I posted but continue to follow the trials and tribulations of Tesla delivery and ownership. Great to see the positivity of @EndlessPlaid and many others that I respect here. 5k miles and 9 moths in and have loved my MSLR but today was a sad day, some idiot ran...

Have traded in two cars with Tesla, very easy, no questions asked, don’t think they even took time to look them over other than to check mileage, you should be fine.

Funny you should mention this, have noticed the same recently when reversing and moving forward with wheels fully turned. I put it down to debris on the driveway but going to look a bit closer now.

My bad, the Tesla delivery process made me think I’d been here since 2020. Either way really pleased you are close!!!

Not gonna lie but @Tigers so close to getting his S is a great day! Joined this forum around the same time. Get the SA to schedule the windscreen replace, get Safelite to patch the tiny chip in the meantime, enjoy your car, sounds like it’s a keeper, you are gonna love it!

Yep, having same issue

Lucid wins MT car of the year and the Mercedes EQS 450+ gets 422 miles on a full charge in a real world test by Edmunds… Elon - it’s time to push out the range boosts for our S’s and remind these newcomers who is the EV boss!!! Wishing all here many good deliveries in the coming days and weeks!!!

My June build is a 433 so I think you are probably right thinking May.

Maybe, although if you have a SC close by have them do it, was a no charge fix.

On the service receipt it said rear latch adjustment and applied krytox lubricating gel. Should be an easy fix. It bugged the hell out of me, I am a much calmer person now 😎

Had same rattle issue coming from rear seats on both sides, took to SC, they confirmed rear seat latches, fixed in a few minutes, now quiet as a mouse. I occasionally notice a very minor vibration when accelerating through 37 to 40, it’s minor. Also June build, no other issues for me, car has...

Dirk and the team at Darien Detail in CT do great work for anybody in the area. If and when I get around to it I’ll use them, they did my window tinting already.

It was late and I’ll blame it on the wine, what can I say other than I am an idiot, albeit one without a front license plate holder 😎 I’ll do better in the future….

Haven’t seen many dragy runs here for a while, here’s the best I have got so far for the LR. Wasn’t from launch mode. Apologies bit before anybody says what about 1/4 mile numbers I don’t have the luxury of anywhere to do that without high chance of losing my license. I got a 1/8 mile in 7.31...

Congrats, great looking car. join the ‘didn’t have the key fobs on delivery club’ wasnt an issue, took 5 weeks to get them, now they are just sitting in a drawer as not likely to use them, phone and key card work just fine. Enjoy it!

To stay true to delivery thread , took delivery on 6/29. Ok, that box ticked…. So I park in the work car park yesterday and there’s a new Taycan 4S in the spot next to me. I take a look and I find myself smiling. Qualitatively it looks nice from the side and the back but the front its awful...

My bad, forgot @omarsultan, legend!!!

It’s true, have had my car for 6 weeks but here everyday checking on @Tigers @Hayseed @sam3194 and all the people that made the wait good, still trying to like all @2021plaid s posts but jeez I can’t keep up. Really good community (for the most part) with a common interest. Kudos to you all...

Apologies, mindful this is a delivery thread, is there one for observed issues on the LR/Plaid?

Mine isn’t too bad to be fair, not enough to change, vin 433, built in June.

no quack, touch wobbly, it’s just ducking annoying! Also have developed an annoying rattle/squeak somewhere between the rear seat and door on the passenger side… will have service look at that when they finally deliver the missing key fobs from delivery…

For me it was VIN on a Saturday, picked up on Tuesday, possibly quick due to EOQ push…

433 LR, build June, delivered 6/29, pretty sure the 450 cars in the temp lot would be pre that as they were still there when I got my car, hope that helps your investigation @Tigers ….

Question for non FSD owners, anybody notice having the green traffic light chime/warning for a bit but seem to have lost it in the last week or so?

So my first longish drive in the LR today, only 100 miles to be fair, on some great roads in scenic parts of CT. It was a delight to drive, unfortunately had Mrs DLCT and daughter number 1 in the car that find the acceleration somewhat vomit inducing which prevented me from taking up some...

Correct, have asked two people at Tesla now that ‘confirmed’ it’s coming and it will be pushed at some point in a software release.

Here’s the deal people, these are great cars, the LR is awesome and I am sure they Plaid is crazy good awesome, lucky to get my car relatively quickly, we all know the difference between them at this point so easy to make educated choices between the two… pretty sure either way 99.999% of people...

You are good, no feathers ruffled with me, I like this forum and the friendly banter , all good here mate , love my car as I am sure all Plaid and LR owners will … no worries on my end either ...

hahaha, yeah I feel shameful, coming from a 911 4S my LR feels very average , good job I’m not taking the LR to to the track/drag strip where the Plaid really shines and where it mostly makes sense … I’ll just continue leaving other mere mortal cars (ie most) for dead on the I95 and wave at...

First time I have used the ignore member option, see ya vwman111, everybody welcome here even if they choose to vote with their feet and buy something else.

I love my LR yoke and all. I read and see the PlaId reviews and I do wish I got it but then I get in the LR and hit the accelerator and I am instantly happy. its my first Tesla, previous cars were snails (Porsche 911 4s as an example)so I am more than excited by the LR. Very few driving super...

come on , it was in ‘Mexico’ (honestly officer we were in Mexico) although guess the Kia Soul driver didn’t get the memo the road was closed … my new goal in life is to try and keep up with this forum and like all of @2021plaid posts to return the positivity, gonna pay it back, always good...

i hear you , I was absolutely on the account/TMC refresh loop. Was shocked last weekend when I got a VIN and then got a call for delivery. I was resigned to Aug/Sep. I’ll say this, totally worth the wait. Apologies to all that I haven’t got a decent dragy run to give some quantitave numbers but...

Am I stIll the only person with a LR to post a Dragy run here, albeit a weak 0-60. (FYI- only one g in Dragy) so far? I’ll try and do better tomorrow if I can find a place to do it. Happy 4th all!

You’ll find no argument from me, speed is goooooood!

No apologies needed, seriously, it genuinely was a sugar and giggles first test of the dragy, hadn’t seen any other posts and wanted to share with this community. If I can get 3.25 just mucking around i would think someone taking it seriously will post much more impressive numbers….

All friends here! Finding a place around where I live to do a proper run safely and without fear or getting a ticket isn’t easy. i will say this, the run i posted was one run on the way to work, no launch mode used, terrible surface in a car park, complete rookie with below average...

Ok, serious post re the yoke, I was very skeptical, 3rd day in and i absolutely love it, it works, feels natural, adds to the cars overall feel, I would have opted out if it was an option, glad it wasn’t, even the buttons for the ’blinkahs’ feels good now. May not be for everyone but this...

Serious question but other than Omar and his PlaIid (my MVP on this forum) and a lesser mortal, ie me and my LR, have i missed any other posts here on performance? Also, where’s Hayseed and Tigers at 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hahahaha, ok AMGF, that was me in a station parking lot on the way to work, it was for sugar and giggles, haven’t seen many others posting their numbers here, if I can get her 3.25 without really trying I look forward to a real run at it. Tough to reach 100 with a very short runway. Go plaid...

I just placed it between the sun visor and the roof, secure and no need to permanently attach it to anything.

Correct, I used Dragy.

My first attempt at a 0-60 run in my 2 day old LR with 21” wheels. Didn’t engage launch mode, battery at 85%, not a great bit of road (understatement), slight uphill gradient. I have little doubt this car has more to give than what this rookie got this morning ….looking forward to seeing some...
