    rear side bolster

    Refresh S right? I just took it apart again in my refresh S. The bottom is just a straight piece that goes into a hole, no clip. The top part is a clip. It's hard to explain, so I'll explain how it is installed.. The clip slides sideways into the bolster, then it's sticking out and you push...

    Sold Tesla Model S (Refreshed 2021+) 21” Arachnid Wheels and Michelin PS 4S Tires (Irvine, CA)

    I'm located close by and could do local pickup, but was looking for a bit cheaper. Don't want to low-ball you but if there's no other interest and you'd be willing to come down a bit, I'm game

    Have any new testers with a safety score above 80 received the FSD Beta 10.69.2.2 update yet?

    Actually the 2022.36.1 update just disappeared for me. Car says up to date. Interesting

    Have any new testers with a safety score above 80 received the FSD Beta 10.69.2.2 update yet?

    Not sure how many it affected but there were some news articles about it so I'm guessing Tesla just force pushed it to all refresh S/X's. Once you get the notification it shouldn't matter if you do basic/advanced, the update is still sitting there ready to install. The good news is that you...

    Have any new testers with a safety score above 80 received the FSD Beta 10.69.2.2 update yet?

    I think you're right. I also think there's a parallel thread of issues where the refresh S (and maybe X?) had that ridiculous high-pitched pump noise problem that started in the last month, so Tesla rapidly pushed out multiple patches in a row to try and fix it. I assume that overrode it for...

    Have any new testers with a safety score above 80 received the FSD Beta 10.69.2.2 update yet?

    No one knows, that's why everyone is just saying don't install updates until you're sure FSD Beta is on it. Seems like that would never be a bad option anyways. People said it generally won't update you if you're in the queue, but there were plenty of people commenting that said they got...

    Have any new testers with a safety score above 80 received the FSD Beta 10.69.2.2 update yet?

    Just got notified for 2022.36.1, I assume I should ignore that. I've been in the beta queue for 3+ weeks with >100 miles on AP and a score of 98+. I've been stuck on the 2022.28.X branch since then, so I assume that's why I didn't get it. Is Tesla organized enough that I would only be getting...

    Smart Summon not working, anyone else?

    Nevermind, fake news. Still having the same issue and have to use the workarounds to use it.

    Have any new testers with a safety score above 80 received the FSD Beta 10.69.2.2 update yet?

    Do you have 2022.28.X ? That seems to be the only think keeping people out of the beta now (as long as they have an 80+ score and 100 miles on AP)

    Smart Summon not working, anyone else?

    Recent update 2022.28.X fixed it for me. No "vision system degrade" errors, and it works with sentry on.

    Smart Summon not working, anyone else?

    Haven't used it much at all, but I do get the "vision system degraded" and "summon unavailable" (or whatever the wording is errors alternating rapidly, like multiple times a second. I found that if I move it forward/back for even half a second, then it'll stop and smart summon will work...

    New Model S Plaid/LR. whistling wind noise at 79+ MPH

    Same. I used larger tubing that I need to replace and make less ugly looking, but it has completely eliminated the noise. Completely forgot the whistling was ever a thing until this post notification

    Model S long range refresh pulls hard left on hard acceleration. Need help!

    That's interesting, good to hear that there was a fix for it at least. Mine might just be tire-related + poor alignment from delivery. After 2 alignments from Tesla (the first one they didn't have the paper for so I'm not sure they actually did it), the car was mostly straight, maybe a slight...

    Model S long range refresh pulls hard left on hard acceleration. Need help!

    Initial testing makes it seem like with the new tires (the tires I had on 5k miles ago), the car is now fine or if anything pulls slightly to the right. I'll have to do some testing on the highway to confirm.

    Model S long range refresh pulls hard left on hard acceleration. Need help!

    Sorry I didn't specify--I only have an LR. I wish.. Similar story here--I have to accelerate hard to see it. I'm guessing <80% acceleration shows minimal issues, it's only when I go above that does it start to pull. I'll try braking like they suggested to see what happens...those things never...

    Model S long range refresh pulls hard left on hard acceleration. Need help!

    I'm suspicious that mine doesn't happen all the time, although I need to do more specific tests. I tried it earlier and it didn't go left at all, but I also only accelerated to 60ish. On the highway is when I can notice it the easiest, just accelerate heavily from 30-70+ and you'll end up in the...

    Model S long range refresh pulls hard left on hard acceleration. Need help!

    Did you figure it out? I've been struggling with the pull left thing for the past 5k miles. I finally had an alignment done (twice, Tesla didn't do it the first time or something), and the steering is mostly straight now but any acceleration over half a pedal press and you can feel it pull...

    Looking for thoughts on Model S LR (refresh) vs. M3P

    Yeah changing between P/R/N/D is shifting. In the model S they have the auto shift thing, which is meh at best. Not dangerous because it requires extra confirmation when you use it. Not sure if they were referring to auto shifting, or the screen sliding for shifting, which is also perfectly...

    Looking for thoughts on Model S LR (refresh) vs. M3P

    Hey I've got that rattle I think (it doesn't rattle if the seats are down). Where do you put the tape on? Just right on the bracket or next to it as cushion?

    New Model S Plaid/LR. whistling wind noise at 79+ MPH

    Don't want to jinx it but it appeared to work for me as well. I had some thicker weather stripping that I just ran around the sides and doesn't cover the sides entirely, but apparently is good enough. I'm going to replace it with some 1/4" weather stripping I got so it'll last a while and...

    New Model S Plaid/LR. whistling wind noise at 79+ MPH

    I've taped up many areas, including every crack in the rear and right back door, along with all window edges as well. No joy. I've basically given up, but will try something if people have ideas.

    Tempest 19” Wheels+Tires+TPMS

    I may be interested but I'm in LA and wont' be able to make it up to SF for a week or two. These will fit in an S easily with the seats down right? Or am I crazy?

    New Model S Plaid/LR. whistling wind noise at 79+ MPH

    Is it in the "kick off and front removal video"? Maybe I missed it. The noise I heard definitely sounds like it's from the rear passenger side, so I looked there but never saw anything. Maybe I'm yanking on the wrong piece

    New Model S Plaid/LR. whistling wind noise at 79+ MPH

    That's what I'm starting to wonder. It feels like it's from the rear, but it's high-pitched so it's possible my perception of it is just wrong. My next step will be to get a passenger or two and have them sit in the back seat and see if I'm right/wrong. How did you figure out that was the...

    New Model S Plaid/LR. whistling wind noise at 79+ MPH

    That's awesome. They just spent a week getting the rear glass re-aligned (cut it out and re-adjusted it), and the noise is still there. They didn't do anything to the trunk itself allegedly, but the service guy did visually inspect everything and didn't notice an issue. Back to the drawing...

    19" tires on Plaid and LR

    Yeah it annoyed me because Tesla is so hands-off with everything. Just use the app, it'll be fine. No need to look the car over, you can just let us know after. Then I ask about something they told me verbally, and suddenly they want documentation. I have none because when I asked over text my...

    Plaid Impressions, Road Noise & Real Solutions

    3dB shouldn't be that much of a difference, but the difference in frequency of the noise could make it seem better/worse. The car is definitely not quiet, and it's a shame ANC hasn't been released yet so we could get some real reviews about how effective it is. My understanding is that tires...

    New Model S Plaid/LR. whistling wind noise at 79+ MPH

    Ha yeah, that showed up in my recommended after the other one so I watched it. I'm down to do that but would need to find a space + buy an air compressor. That'll be my plan after ther service center trip disappoints in 2 weeks..

    New Model S Plaid/LR. whistling wind noise at 79+ MPH

    Interesting... The trunk was actually poorly done, so I adjusted it following the rule the guy used in the second video. It feels more secure now and even looks more even, but the wind noise is still there fully. I tried clicking on biohazard mode while it was on, and I think it cut down on...

    New Model S Plaid/LR. whistling wind noise at 79+ MPH

    I tried taping up various areas back there with no luck. I did the trunk window, the right side of the trunk, the entire rear right door, the window on that door. I haven't done anything forward of that, or the entire trunk itself. It's hard to test unless I make a day of it....need to be...

    19" tires on Plaid and LR

    Thanks--yeah I used a mobile tire guy and it was ~$127, but they also got me an extra $120 total off of the Tirerack price I was about to pay. So net gain and they came and did it in my driveway.

    19" tires on Plaid and LR

    Just to follow-up, I took delivery in LA and they gave me summers. They had verbally told me that it would come with all-seasons, so I made a service request. 1 week before (1 month after delivery) they asked for documentation which I didn't have obviously, so they rejected it and said my car...

    New Model S Plaid/LR. whistling wind noise at 79+ MPH

    Any updates on this? I have the exact same thing it seems... Rear passenger/trunk area Definitely 83+, sometimes 79+ No obvious sources so I'll start taping up areas I guess..

    2021 MS 19” Tempest Delivery Tracking

    What's everyone thinking with the front license plate mount? Mine requires it, but I'd rather get a vent-mounted one later or something that is less....large. I have to decide soon so I can remove it before ceramic coat time. Not sure there's a vent-mount holder out yet, or if there will be for...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    The refresh seats are actually weird to me. They feel comfortable, but are definitely not as squishy as my Model 3. I want to say they're more comfortable, but it's hard to identify why. I think a combination of the ventillation + width and sides is probably why. Re: the wrinkles: I have...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    My delivery specialist heavily emphasized that I had "100 miles" to report any issues. He also said time didn't matter (although yeah, the 24 hour rule sounds like the way to go for me). Not sure if this varies by area, but this was also different from my past deliveries. Your best bet is to...

    2021 MS 19” Tempest Delivery Tracking

    Keep an eye out, they might text you again and do it even sooner if it gets there early. I had mine scheduled for 2 days after arrival, then they texted me and tried to get me to pick it up within hours of it getting off the truck.

    Wiki Mega-consolidated delivery quality issues thread and checklist

    Yeah I'm not sure what that's about, I suspect it's just becuase people hear stories about horrendous QA and poor customer service. Generally Tesla has been good to me, but I did have a few clashes with them in the past when they didn't fix stuff promised. Ex: paint peeled off my front bumper...

    I took delivery in Cali and got the ppf on the rear door, but no flaps. If there were a region that would not qualify for all seasons then it'd be California, but I still would've preferred reliable communication about it or god forbid, an option. Pretty sure right now it's just random, LR's...

    My delivery experience to hopefully comfort some people... With touchless you do have time to use the full checklist, but I was too excited and have had 2 deliveries in the past without issues so I winged it. I basically took the checklist (thanks for making it!), cut it down to the issues I...

    Wiki Mega-consolidated delivery quality issues thread and checklist

    Yeah that looks very similar, I wonder how they messed that up. Let me know what you end up hearing! I submitted a service request with a few notes to document issues, but it's not for a month and last time they didn't read my notes until 4 days before. So I probably won't have any more to add...

    Took delivery and there are a bunch of wrinkles in the back seat. I don't care that's how the rear seat on my Model 3 looked after a couple years of very, very light use anyway. Has anyone had that? Wondering if it's worth asking them about. Everything else is great minus a few of the...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    There's that long checklist you can use, but really you want to just check for any external issues right away. Any scratches, paint issues, the type of stuff you want them to note ASAP. You have 100 miles after delivery to report stuff.
