    Replacing cabin air filter and cleaning evaporator fins in 2021-2022 MS

    Did it get rid of the smell when you replaced the cabin filter? Is the cabin filter the same filter as the old model? Could you please post pics or instructions how to do? Thanks in advance.

    Does anyone know how to change the cabin and air filter in the Model S refresh?

    Tesla updating Model S headlights

    You can tell by the beam cutoff and how it lights up the periphery. Our current lights have a sloppy cutoff and barely lights up the sides. You can see how bright they are and the cutoff starting at 3:45 in the video. I really hope we can retrofit these.

    Tesla updating Model S headlights

    The lights are so much brighter. Night and day difference. I really hope we can retrofit this. I would pay $3000.

    Early '22 Exterior Refresh Tracking (Lights, Charging Door, Appliqué delete)

    I don’t care too much about the cosmetic changes on the rear taillights, but I really hope we are able ro retrofit the new headlights. The current headlights are garbage.

    Tesla extended warranty for a Plaid Model S?

    I wouldn’t keep the car past warranty. My car is falling apart already. In 3 yrs Porsche, Mercedes and BMW will all have better cars. They are almost there and they just started with EV’s.

    This service situation is getting abysmal.

    Not true. I’ve had a ton of service issues. First day my car was delivered the DRL on the headlight wasn’t working and half my speakers were off. Took forever to get an appointment and when I finally was ready to go in they rescheduled the appointment to another date and time when I had work...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Basically what I’ve been saying. Handling isn’t and brakes are not in Porsche or BMW’s level. I remember some guys on here were arguing the handling is on par with Porsche. The brakes are unacceptable on a car with this much power. I have a LR and think that, can’t imagine the Plaid. Also the...

    Feeler : 19" Tires from MSLR refresh 255/45/19 fronts and 285/40/19 rear Pirelli P Zero with 200 miles - Dallas, Texas

    Just want to see if there is any interest for my Pirelli P zero tires. I plan on getting all season tires for my car and want to sell the tires off my new MSLR. I don't want to ship these tires, so I wanted to see if there is any interest locally. They are brand new tires with 200 miles on...

    Major Yoke concerns from Consumer Reports initial review

    I was referring to the buttons and the idiots that can’t remember where the 5 buttons on the wheel are; or which turn signals are which.

    Would love to see a p100d or Taycan Turbo vs the MSLR refresh in the 1/4 mile.

    20's look perfect. I love how there is enough tire profile. The square setup will be great for tire rotation too.

    Major Yoke concerns from Consumer Reports initial review

    You mentioned this in the other thread. The Tesla buttons don't change positions either. They are in the same spot everytime you drive. People can't remember where they are after the third time driving? It isn't rocket science. F1 drivers have like 20+ buttons and you guys can't remember...

    Plaid Safety

    My point was about the buttons because that is what everyone is complaining about. As far as 3 pt turns and U turns, you can do them one handed easily. Wait til you actually own the car and drive it more than a handful of times before you complain so much.

    Plaid Safety

    Yes it was improved this week. I didn't have problems with it before and it is even better now. If you aren't smart enough to remember where two buttons are, I suggest getting another car. Not sure how you are going to adjust the AC or music while driving if you can't even get a handle on...

    Plaid Safety

    Yes but people are complaining about buttons not the turning ratio. Also f1 drivers look down from time to time at their buttons. There are like 5 buttons on the yoke. How hard is it to remember where they are? I find it remarkable how dumb people are that they can't remember simple things...

    They actually don't. The new software release got rid of light tough. Now it is only a hard press. Maybe if you had the car you would know this.

    Plaid Safety

    I'm far from a fanboy. I almost cancelled my order because of some quality control issues. So, you don't own the car yet and are basing your experience off a short drive. Sounds reasonable. How is a raised bump/line not acceptable? Do you not have any feeling in your left thumb? How hard...

    Plaid Safety

    There is actually a raised bump/line in between the top/right signal and bottom/left. You can tactilely feel where the turn signals are. Have you taken delivery yet or are you commenting based on your youtube experience?

    Major Yoke concerns from Consumer Reports initial review

    I think it helps with visibility and also helps/forces people to hold the wheel at 9 and 3, where you are supposed to. I love how everyone complains about all the buttons on the wheels and not being able to remember them. Have you guys seen an f1 steering wheel? There are dozens of buttons...

    Plaid Safety

    Why do you have to look? Are you not smart enough to remember? It's the same as a traditional turn signal. Up/Top is right, Down/bottom is left. There is a raised line in the center for your to feel it too. I can't see why people struggle so much with this. Takes half a brain cell.

    Major Yoke concerns from Consumer Reports initial review

    I really don't how so many people are having such a difficult time with the yoke. I was very against it before delivery, but now I find it so easy to drive. With the new hard press and auto off turn signals, the car is a breeze to drive. How hard is it to remember top is right and bottom is...

    Plaid Safety

    With the recent software update the turn signals are a hard press now and they automatically turn off after you change lanes or turn. There is an elevated line in between the turn signals if you really can’t figure it out. I’ve gotten used to it pretty quickly and now it is even easier with...

    I’m a track guy and still have zero desire for a Plaid. I’d rather spend 40k on a dedicated track car like a Miata or invest it in Tesla stock like you said. 1000hp in a car with mediocre brakes is pointless to me.

    After a week driving with the Yoke, I can honestly say it’s great. It’s like second nature now. The only thing I have to think about is the horn. The turn signals are second nature now. Not sure what all the fuss about it was. I double any of the complainers drove it for longer than a day...
