Sounds like a plan. I did all of those things and my car finally exists again. Woo!

Hmmm I'm not sure how to search the forum so this light be a repeat but does anyone else have app connectivity issues following updates?

Having been in the 2016s, the storage issue has been dealt with in the refresh. I have more storage than I know what to do with

My refresh doesn't rattle at all for what it's worth. The ride is incredibly smooth. What is a bit annoying only happens on dirt roads. I was recently at Joshua Tree driving through some of dirt roads there and every video taken of the scenery was tainted with very loud squeeking noises. Very...

The soft close doors are a funny one. Every time someone closes my car door for the first time, they immediately have to do it for a second time. Usually it is followed by a "I don't want to hurt your car" statement of some kind... Sure you have to give it some force but wow, what strength a...

I couldn't agree more, and that's generally the argument I take against people that chastise my vehicle of choice. The "million useless buttons" resonates with me beyond belief. The amount of buttons/levers/knobs that exist on most 2022 steering wheels alone is unsettling.. From the sounds of...

After owning my 2021 Model S Long Range for just over 6 months now I have noticed a new trend in the arguments for Tesla haters. What used to be range complaints or distaste for the exterior look has been replaced with an overwhelming amount of "The interior just doesn't compare to other $100k...

I came here for delivery updates for 11 months. Now I've had my car 3 months and don't feel like finding a new thread

I personally keep both key cards, both key Fobs, and my cell phone on me whenever I leave the home. That way if I get mugged I lose everything at once. It really enhances the mugging experience

I think we all pretty much share the same sentiment here. I don't know your situation so I can't judge, but we're talking about roughly a 3% savings for who knows what kind of damage. Patience will get you a better product here. Don't touch the tainted car

I'm in this members boat. My delivery took about 3 minutes. They showed up, I signed the documents, they left. I found problems after they left, documented them, and got them fixed. They've been incredible post-delivery and driving the car has been worth it in spite of minor problems

That's so weird! Maybe during the windshield replacement the door handle presented itself and they bent it not thinking that it was out? No clue... all of my possible connections are Acme in nature

I'll give you my total in one list. Problems found and their status: 1. Rear seat tear in upholstery - replaced one week later 2. Yoke upholstery coming undone - replaced yoke 2 months later 3. Windshield had apparent impact point that no one could identify the cause of - replaced windshield 4...

Let me tell you, the Long Rang might not be the fastest production car out there, but it'll still take the wind out of you and cause a heart attack for your passengers. I've had more than one self-inflicted light-headed moment from throwing on the acceleration from a stop light just for fun.

Just saw this. I had a discoloration in my windshield that I noticed about a month ago and I took it in to get looked at. It was as though something impacted my window, but not hard enough to break through it. The Tesla shop confirmed the "imperfection in the glass," and could not reasonably say...

I roll around in chill 90% of the time now that I understand the battery drain of insane

I had 100% reliability, and then I left town for 6 days, left my tesla parked at the airport, came back and no dice. It hasn't worked once since. My battery dropped to 25% or something in that time so I initially thought it was a low battery functionality drop but it's full now and still won't...

Anyone having issues with the proximity unlock after the most recent update? First world problems over here... but to unlock my car I have to pull my phone out of my pocket and press the unlock button

I never use the AC :( trying to get my Wh/M down to 280 average. Soon. Soon I will be there

Steering wheel? What is a steering wheel?

I'm going to give potentially bad advice here... but my delivery process took about 8 minutes total. They brought it to my house, I signed some paperwork, and they left. I didn't ask for a walk thru of the car at all because I trusted if I found any issues they would fix them. After they left, I...

My biggest gripe is the complaint about the circular shape... I have always done "hand over hand" more as a "hand under hand" with my inside hand turning from the inside of the wheel. On the yoke, there are two "inner circles" that allow me to change absolutely nothing about how I execute "hand...

I personally like the yoke significantly more than any wheel I've ever used. I have unobstructed vision of my dash, and if I ever get into a car accident I run less of a risk of breaking my arms while grabbing onto the top of the wheel. From what I understand, 10 and 2 was replaced by 9 and 3...

... is there any evidence anywhere that anyone has actually gotten into a "yoke caused" accident? By evidence I mean something NOT posted on Facebook

I reached out and they both waved the cost and mentioned it's a "known issue." So, to anyone that hasn't taken deliveries yet, check the upholstery of your yoke thoroughly and pay attention to it.

I guess I might have reacted too soon, and I'm waiting for the response from service but when I submitted a ticket for my previous upholstery issue the invoice they gave me was $0 prior to the appointment. I guess I assumed it would always start at $0 if it was going to end at $0... My worry is...

Did they charge you for the Yoke replacement? I was about to make an absolutely furious post about how my car is literally coming unglued, but came here first to see if anyone else is having similar yoke issues and low and behold, You did! I submitted a service request for the image I attached...

The range anxiety is absolutely warranted considering the Model S LR is the first car with the range that it has. I don't know how fast the Tesla homecharger is, but I used my a non-Tesla home charger (used for my uncle's E-tron) and I got 37 miles of charge each hour. I imagine the tesla is...

Still checking the rest of the feed so maybe someone has already made this point, but I just mapped Amherst to Pittsburgh, Columbus, and Toledo. All 3 are 300 miles or less round trip. That's a single charge, and if you have the supercharger installed into your home your car will refill...

The plastic that covers the screen? Like the peelable stuff?

I'm team Samsung. Can't get behind Apple products... but good point. I suppose I'll stop using my cup holder for my phone

I feel like I'm driving a golf cart having the 250! I'm just determined to hit that EPA range for no reason in particular. My experience is currently pretty bipolar. Either I'm giving someone a heart attack/getting into random drag races on the street with random sports cars, or I'm driving like...

I bet the hills play a significant part in my problems. Georgia is pretty flat and I'm constantly up and down out here in the Bay area. I've been able to get my average down to 250 (this week only) by limiting my speed to 65 and regen braking insanely early / not using AC / never putting my...

Those numbers are way lower than mine. What speed do you autopilot at? I consistently have found that autopilot is less efficient than I am. Every time I go into autopilot my Wh/mile increases pretty significantly... idk if it's just me or if it's known. On the freeway on long distances I'm...

I went into the manual and tried out some of the suggestions. I think I can get away with driving without the AC and just using the seat coolers for temperature control. I'm curious how much battery the inductive phone chargers use as well. I tried turning off the AC / placing my phone in a cup...

Oh great and powerful TMC brethren, what are the secrets to lowering my Wh/mile? I took a trip down the pacific coast highway this weekend from Monterey to LA and found that the advertised 402 is a sham and I should be happy if I break 300 miles on a single charge. In my first 1200 miles, I'm...

Dec 12th 2031? ... sounds about right

Alright so acknowledging this forum has turned from "gah when am I getting my car," to, "how do I do X in this car," for me... is auto parking a function of FSD or is there some way to make it happen without being in the FSD beta? I haven't even considered requesting the beta because I currently...

Looks like I have a 2021! Thanks for that nugget of knowledge

Hey potentially dumb question here... but the long ranges delivered recently to me and others, are they 2021, or 2022s? Does Tesla even do years on their cars? I keep getting asked what year my car is and I don't know how to respond without being condescending.

What's the repaint mean? The other side is smooth but I don't know if the gap is too small. Are there any references for how big the gap should be?

Based on the rub marks, I think the only reason the gap is bridged is because of the elevated paint bubbles. I think no bubbles would equal no rubbing. I haven't really tested my hypothesis on the passenger side door though so I could just be blowing smoke

What they said. If I open the door slowly, systematically, and incredibly carefully all while watching the gap, they never connect. But if I open the door like a normal person normally opens a car door, or similarly close it (which requires some force to latch), the difference in motion causes...

I took better pictures. It's pretty clear looking at the scratch patterns where the scratches are coming from. Also the zoomed out picture shows how visible the damage is. It's all I can see now when I walk up to the car!

The pictures don't capture it perfectly, but the jagged paint bubbles in the one line up perfectly with the scraped paint in the other. So every time I open the driver's door, the paint scratches and I damage my car... This definitely feels like a piss poor Quality Control issue from Tesla and...

I'm pretty upset about it but we'll see how the service appointment goes before I fully blow up. I did another walk thru and it's only on the driver's side door. Most of the forum is taking delivery over the next few months. Add this to the list of things to look out for!

Noticed some scratching on my driver's side door this morning and after looking a little closer noticed that there are jagged paint bubbles that scratch my door when I open it. Has anyone else noticed anything similar? I already have a service appointment for a different issue but this just...

So I took delivery of my Long Range a couple of days ago and my life is forever changed. The delivery experience was kind of hilarious. I'm a baby-faced 30 year old (as of last week) and when asked if they could bring the car to my house early I told them, "I have class at that time..." The...

Any RN1142s out there waiting on delivery? EDD 17-27th September for me. I'm wondering if it's safe enough to get my down payment ready / reapply for my auto loan...

So yesterday I entered my Sep 13-Sep 27th delivery window. I called my SA to ask if they could see anything on transport (the literal hour from Fremont that I live) and they said they see what I see, essentially saying, "kick sand impatient Tesla customer." After getting off the phone, my...
