    Model S Plaid Track Package Waiting Room

    Thanks for the detailed reply. I’ve followed your story here, and I’m certainly glad you‘re able to enjoy your upgrade! I was able to order within minutes on day one, so it’s been quite frustrating for me for a while now. I’ve literally have no idea how many reschedules and different excuses...

    Model S Plaid Track Package Waiting Room

    So what’s the longest someone has waited to have their track package installed before cancelling? I’m at three months now. Supposedly my SC is only waiting on one more rim now, after having received about ten wheels with seven of them damaged because Tesla is literally shipping them in a...

    Model S Plaid Track Package Waiting Room

    Has anyone that needed the revised knuckles (earlier builds) actually gotten a track package installed? My SC has been telling me for 2+ months (with 5 reschedules) that they "don't have parts". But there's no further explanation or any idea when (if) they will ever get "parts". I have an...

    Model S Plaid Track Package Waiting Room

    So.. my service center still has no idea when they will get parts... They're saying that some parts show available, but not everything that's needed to complete the track package. And nothing will ship to them until everything is available to ship as a complete kit at once. So literally no idea...

    2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

    Hmm. I haven’t heard anything about having to remove the windshield to replace the dash grill. And that seems pretty crazy to me considering that there are speakers and other serviceable components located under the grill. My SC ordered a replacement grill that took several weeks to arrive. And...

    2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

    Not sure if you got this problem fixed yet or not? But my Plaid developed the same issue about three weeks after delivery. And in my case it turned out to be the radar sensor that went bad. But.. my SC team had trouble simply replacing the radar with a new part. And they ended up spending days...

    2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

    Well.. As it turns out. That same corner of the car was missing two screws, a nut, and a clip all from the fender well area.. and was causing some fender alignment issues and general sloppiness. Somebody needs some serious training or needs to find another job.. JS

    2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

    Anybody on the assemble line in Fremont missing part of your tool? lol.. My Plaid had a rattle from the Driver’s front wheel area since delivery day, but only loud enough to be heard while the window was down. Several checks were done to make sure that the car was mechanically safe. But the...

    2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

    Seems like quite of few of them have this same dent. Plus on my dash grill, there is a small section of the perforations that are "clogged up" near the passenger A-pillar. My SC has a new grill on order. But they're telling me that a replacement part "doesn't exist".. sigh

    2021 Model S Plaid/LR Fire

    Nope, regen mode is not selectable at all on the Plaid. And it just operates in high regen mode with hold. From what I understand Tesla started rolling out vehicles with high regen only around October 2020. But thats definitely the way it is on my Plaid.. FYIW I love the way it drives with high...

    2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

    Has anyone had an issue with a very distinct rattle coming from outside or underneath the car? I have a rattle that is very obvious with the driver’s window down, but can’t really be heard with all the windows up. It does it when hitting small bumps or larger, not on a perfectly smooth road...

    No problems or warning messages at all with my brake system. And I haven’t heard of anything similar for the refresh S from anybody else yet.

    2021 Model S Plaid/LR Fire

    There is no creep mode or low regen on the Plaid. It is high regen only and when you lift off the accelerator it will stop and hold. Not selectable to drive it any other way. It is basically hard to put the car in neutral and not going to accidentally happen during any normal or panic driving...

    For what it’s worth, I was able to fairly easily pull my front plate mount off without taking the painted cover off. And then: I just pulled with fairly firm and steady pressure starting from one side and working my fingers between it and the bumper. It’s just the two strips of double sided...

    2021 Model S Plaid/LR Fire

    There doesn’t seem to be an option for low regen mode on this model. It’s high regen only and will stop when you lift off the accelerator. Still.. with an all-out fire who know what kind of signals the controls systems were getting/giving before they quit completely.

    I found that even though my headlights didn’t flash as well during the Homelink programming, the system did indeed learn the programming after pressing my original transmitter for several seconds. Homelink has been working as expected since.

    The dent in the main grill is interesting because that exactly describes the same dent I have. My local SC has a new grill in order for me. Hopefully it won’t have the same dent.. lol My parking assist hasn’t worked at all from day one. 600+ miles of driving with nothing but a warning message...

    2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

    I had the same issue with the driver’s door handle. It would get stuck when it tried to retract and make a continuous whirring sound trying to pull in. I found that when it stuck in the out position that I could “bump“ it with the palm of my hand and it would retract, all the way in if the...

    2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

    Yeah.. not super happy about the list. But, really I pretty much expected a few more imperfections as an "early adopter". Love the car overall and would rather have it like it is now rather than wait a few more months. Just as long as they continue to work with me to work it all out.

    That’s the absolute truth! No matter how many times I press on it, it still surprises me. I haven’t yet felt any need to find the right place and even try a launch in drag strip mode. It’s just that strong driving around “casually” in plaid mode. Feels like warp drive from point A to B at any...

    DELIVERY!! I took delivery of my Plaid yesterday afternoon in Nashville and heading back to Mississppi with it today.. As a first time Tesla owner, I will say that this car most definitely does not disappoint. Here are my first thoughts: Fit, finish, and material are really, really good. This...

    Yes.. I was blank for several weeks. Changed to June 22-28 this morning. I then had a VIN assigned in my account when I checked a few hours later. And I hate to say this for all the people struggling not to check their accounts.. But I still haven't gotten the emails from Tesla. So the online...

    Back to a “Estimated Delivery: June 22 - June 28” this morning after being blank for a looong time. Like most of you, I would have almost laughed at this based on past experiences with the monkey... But idk? Feels like it might be happening this time. Fingers crossed for a VIN today?! 🤞🏻😃

    I just got a very interesting call from Tesla in Fremont, the first communication I've had from Tesla since my placing my order btw. Guy asked me if I was interested in taking earlier delivery of my Plaid by swapping from Carbon Fiber to Wood Interior trim. And I said "absolutely". I would have...

    Went from Blank to June 23-30 this morning.. not that it means much 😝 For the ones that have gone through this order process with Tesla before: How much notice did you get for an actual delivery date? And how many days did you have to take delivery? Is it a big deal to reschedule the delivery a...

    I think we should ALL cancel our Model S orders immediately, just to show Elon how pissed off we are about the situation! And I want my name to be the very LAST name he sees for all of the cancelled orders, that way he’ll know it was my idea! So y’all get to cancelling and let me know when it’s...

    Does posting at least eight times really “unlock” the ability to change your profile picture? And maybe create a profile signature as well?
