I'm looking to get Tesla solar panels and 2 powerwalls. My electric bill is around $500 and Tesla's website states it would be about $115 with those installed. Have you guys found the electric bill estimate after solar to be accurate?

I don’t understand why you’re so angry that some of us just didn’t understand the acronym? Jjrandorin and myself were actually making fun of ourselves for not being “in the know” about these things. Nothing was meant to be personal.

I'm with you. Had no idea what that meant.

Supposedly the side view mirrors are removable according to MKBHD, but no one has shown if/how this will be done. Has anyone seen or heard about this feature? Teslas are known to have a decent amount of wind noise around the mirrors and my Model S is no different. I'm hoping this will be an...

Stock sizes for refresh model s 19's are 255/45 and 285/40

Unfortunately those tires do not come in the correct sizes for refresh 19s.

How was the ride quality and road noise going from Pirellis to Michelins?

It makes sense from a business and efficiency perspective. They could separate the 3 and Y into the two categories that people care about, Sporty and Luxury and get rid of the S and X. The plaid motors could go into the 3 Performace and now you have one of the most thrilling sports cars in the...

People complaining about buying consumer goods during an inflationary period and then being upset when prices start coming down is mind boggling. I have a 2022 Model S bought brand new so I’m in the same boat, but I understood at the time what I was getting myself into when car prices were...

I'm looking for 19" replacement tires for my 2022 Model S. The car came with the Pirelli Pzero Elect tires, but was wondering how they compared to the Michelin Pilot All Season 4 and Continental Procontact RX. I'm mainly concerned about ride comfort and noise. Efficiency isn't too important...

Coming from many MB, BMW, Porsche, and Audi's, and currently have a 2022 Model S LR, maybe my opinion can help you in your search. Luxury/Comfort/Noise: Mercedes EQS, BMW i7, or Audi Q8 E-tron. Nothing beats German luxury still and its not even close when compared to the Tesla. Tech/UI...

It depends on what you define as luxury. I used to think it was defined by interior materials, fit and finish, ride comfort, and interior noise. Although many of those still apply, convenience has definitely became top priority for me when defining luxury now. For context, I currently have a...

I used a putty material and eliminated the whistling noise.

I get it now. It's the trunk button release. I was thinking it was the physical latch that locks the trunk.

Thanks for the info and picture! Sorry, but I'm having a hard time understanding where exactly they put this rubber piece in. Could you take a picture a bit more zoomed out to see where it is relative to the car?

The sad part about all this is that Tesla service thinks we all have hearing problems and can't differentiate whistling noise from motor whine.

Thanks for doing this! I was about to attempt the same thing, but my wife was not down with me being in the trunk at 80+ mph. I'll take a look around the area you described tomorrow.

I've thought about this too. Maybe Tesla doesn't have separate suspension calibration for the LR, considering it's 200 lbs lighter than the plaid with one less motor. I do feel that the rear is stiffer than the front when hitting sharper bumps.

I wonder if the stiff suspension is leading to all the creaks and rattles as time goes on? My car was dead quiet up to 1000 miles, but after that it's already a rattle box. I've modified many suspension components on other cars and over time those cars started to produce rattles that were not...

I have the exact same rattle and also have one coming from the driver side door trim. Plus a whistle from the rear at highway speeds. All this plus the motor/regen whine cause quite an annoying vehicle at times. I thought buying an EV vehicle was going to create a serene quiet ride, but so...

Did anyone ever figure out a solution to this problem? I have the same issue at highway speeds, usually around 79+ mph. Sounds like it's coming from the passenger rear.

I have 1200 miles on my Model S and agree with you on the stiff suspension. On anything other than smooth roads the ride can get uncomfortable, but the trade off is for surprisingly good handling for a car of this size and weight. If Tesla could offer a real comfort mode and fix some...

The settings below seem to work best for me on my local roads. It will vary depending on your location. Also, I'm running 36 psi all around still, but will try out 33 psi rear and see if that changes anything. Medium ride height is definitely better than low too. With these settings the...

Coming from German/Asian full size luxury sedans, I'm with you on the suspension. It would be the best car I've ever owned if it had a complaint suspension. I'm not sure if Tesla understands who their customer is for the MS, especially in base configuration. I didn't buy this car to take it...

I have 19's with the Pirelli Elect tires, which also come on the Porsche Taycan. The Taycan states at partial load the psi should be at 36F, 33R. My Model S LR comes in at a similar weight to the Taycan, so I tried out 36 psi on all four corners tonight and it did help with the overall ride...

Hmm...have my VIN now for a few days and my EDD starts today Dec 3-11, but no contact from Tesla to schedule a delivery. 🤔

WOOHOO! Got my VIN NF460!! RN1148 Wht/Crm/19/FSD.

Facts. Tesla is the only company in the past 100 years to successfully become a large scale manufacturer in the US and they only accomplished this about 4-5 years ago. I'm an April order and will continue to patiently wait, as I understand this is their first major product redesign/refresh...

Maybe it's the previous Tesla ownership, as I also have FSD on my order and have relatively large position in TSLA. Hope you get your car sooner than later. I have only seen one refresh S LR around the area, 2-3 plaids, and none with 19's.

I have the exact same order spec as you at Rocklin, CA store delivery with a RN# 11486. My EDD is Nov 1-21. I wonder what in Tesla's algorithm puts your order ahead of mine. Not salty about it because I'm not in a rush, but just curious.

@omarsultan not sure if you have already answered this question, but was wondering your thoughts on ride comfort/quality and handling characteristics? Is it as comfortable as other full size luxury sedans? Also, how much body roll is there in general driving (not at the limit) ? Thanks again...

The last run against the GTI is a great comparison of what a race against a M3P would look like. Similar time and trap speed.
