Please, can you let me know the sort of Carbotech you have tried (AX6, XP8, XP10...) and what was the problem ?. Thanks.

The new brake lines for the rear are necessary to fit the calipers with covers.

Yes, the red cover is much larger but it's only a cosmetic change, the caliper stay the same as the black one. With the "new" red cover the rear calipers appear less ridiculous in size but will never deliver better braking power... I can live without red calipers and for the pads, I just fitted...

After discovering the truth about these "new rear brakes" that are not at all, I contacted the Service Center again who had misinformed me and told them my way of thinking about this unacceptable lie. Instead of apologizing and telling me that they were going to make an official denial to...

My God! I got my hands on this video that proves that Tesla’s statements about those famous new rear calipers are a real pure lie, it’s simply a scam and I advise everyone to spread this information. Tesla came down low... As I said, nobody in the Service Centers is aware about they really...

Following my upper post, I have tried to obtain more technical precisions and finally, after confusing replies, I have find the right technician who served me a long time ago but had changed of S.C. Here is the truth... the upgrade includes: - New brake pads – New red brake calipers kit WITH...

The main problem with Tesla is that you can only be sure of one thing: the Service Centers themselves are not aware of many PRECISE technicals specifications like this "brakes upgrade" offered by the factory, so the answers we receive may not be true at all. Our Service Center here replied to...

J'ai reçu aujourd'hui la désignation suisse Model S Plaid/ Typengenehmigung : 1TD8 53 Vous pouvez le transmettre à votre assurance pour avoir une offre.

Same problem for me, unable to find my VIN in the HOEGH TRANSPORTER's VIN control system...so there is another boat with Plaids for Switzerland.

Hi to all ! I have ordered a Plaid with the standard 19'' wheels which will be for winter use, beside that I will fit a set of new 21'' wheels on next Spring and so I have to order a set of Michelin PS 4S in the best delay as they are out of stock here in Switzerland. My choice is going to...

Received the same information today for Switzerland, blue Plaid , we will be the last ones served in the geographic Europe. What is strange is that the contact at Tesla said me that our Plaids will be build in a new factory place in USA ! Never heard that. Well, the countdown has finally...

Thanks a lot ! In any case, I hope that this post will have been useful to point on this specific particularity as many tires shops will propose the Y speed index when you will have to change your tires, so, open your eyes...

Well, I think that that the sole company able to give the right specifications is TESLA ! The problem is what E. Musk has declared that the tires and wheels will have to be changed to unlock the full power of the car... So we can suppose that the delivered Michelin 4S 21'' on Plaids could not...

77 views and nobody gentle enough to reply to my asking ? :rouler des yeux:

I know that there is a "strange" limitation of the highest speed able to be reached by the Model S Plaid. Tesla claims all over that the speed of 320 km/h is the top one, but we know that, until now, the Plaid does not run over 300 km/h. E. Musk said "one time" that, in fact, to reach the 320...

E-mail received from Tesla some minutes ago ! My Plaid delivery will be done between November and December this year ! Yeaaaaah ! No, I'm not dreaming, it's true. Hope it will be the same for all of you ! Plaid ordered the 31 of March 2021

That's pure science fiction ! This Tesla rep is just taking his suppositions for reality...

December 2022 would be the worst option for me and perhaps am I too optimistic but as no more European orders are accepted from now, the production starts now to wipe the pending european orders...If Elon respect us and will not start to deliver the chinese customers he is expecting ! Nothing...

Same letter to me in Switzerland... It doesn't makes me feeling better. Don't forget that writing that deliveries to Europe will START in the second part of 2022 means that any delivery could be up to the end of December 2022 ! :oops:

"my Plaid" should have been delivered by the end of this last month but absolutely no news from Tesla... I know that some ones in Europe received a Tesla's e-mail or a message to explain that the delivery will not be for the next weeks but the problem is that they have received a second message...

If it was only that...! It's peanuts ! :rolleyes:

I think this guy is expecting something that will not arrive before end of 2023 as those 4680 batteries are not produced in enorm quantities and will have to equip the Model Y, the Semi and the Roadster before to be in the S and X...

Yes, but for any new order...

For sure ! It's so incredible that it looks to be a bad soap opera ! 🥵 In anyway I was right to not sold my 100D before to recieve any Plaid confirmed delivery delay from Tesla, it was expected for November at my order in March but strictly no news since this time. Unfortunately Tesla is going...

God ! why a so big "treatment difference" for the european customers ? it's crazy !

I'm in Switzerland too. I ordered a Plaid on the 29th of March 2021 with a delay announced for November. Still no communication received from Tesla but I'm not very confident regarding the "Tesla timing". My problem is to know when I will have to sell my actual 100D as Tesla could change the...

I see on the afarkas2222 interior pictures that the carpets in the CREAM + CF interior are now black. In my '17 100D with Cream+wood interior they are cream too. Should be fine to know if the new execution with black carpets is the only one.

Thanks a lot for the pictures, the wheels look are not as bad as I was thinking, just "acceptable" for the winter for me. The mix of cream + CF looks fine! Beside that I hope that you have make claims to Tesla for the defective adjustments of the right doors trims : The top black trim's angle of...

That's typically a vendor language ! 😖 Flow Forged doesn't exist, the right term is a Flowformed wheel, not bad at all but nothing to compare with the Forged wheels.

That looks fine ! They are quite the same than the track 20' special wheels Tesla is planning to sell for those who want to benefit of the full max. speed of the Plaid but this kit will certainly be sold fitted with a set of Michelin Cup tires which last for something like max. 5000 km !! More...

Be careful ! the front and rear wheels have different dimensions (the Plaid ones and it could be the same thing for the LR ones). Those Tsportline are not so "extraordinary" to pay so much for them. The problem is to find good quality ones strong enough to resist to the car's weight and the...

The title of this discussion sould be named 2021 MS 19” Cardenio Delivery Tracking Not ? as the Tempest have never been the Tesla's 19' wheels choice for the 2021 Model S.

You're right !... The wheel's "arms" are stupidly too shorts, so the wheel looks as a 18' one! The 19' Tempest wheel, with it's longer arms, looks much better. This Cardenio's design choice is one of the worst Tesla did... Unfortunately the special dimensions of the 2021 Model S wheels don't...

Congratulations ! Perfect for me if you have a blue Plaid, I ordered one too with the 19' wheels and I'm searching for pictures of the same car without the wheels covers, so pleaaaaase, be fair to take good shots and post them here. THANKS A LOT IN ADVANCE and geetings from Switzerland!

It says nothing new... : That I will be contacted when it will be the time to organize and plan the delivery...

A lot of you are complaining about the delivery dates to get their cars and that don't smell good for us in Europe! I have ordered on the 30th of March a Blue Plaid, cream + CF and 19'. The delivery date was announced for November at ordering time but, as most of you, the decision to sell or...

A little up for my still open question.... Thanks for your help !

Same decision than mine and if the 19" OEM wheels don't have a so bad look*, I'll use them for the winter season... * Thanks in advance to the Plaids with standard wheels owners who will post here some pictures of the 19" wheels without their horribles wheels covers !!

The wheels were looking like having special charcoal paint with a dark center blending up to a much lighter metallic silver to the external border of the wheels. Beside that, the thickness of the wheels borders appeared much thinner and had a much better look than on the 21" Arachnids fitted on...

The best way to know what is this "famous" Cardenio for the new model S (Plaid or not) would be to have the luck to have this post read by a Plaid owner who have the standard 19" wheels and who will take pictures to show us what sort of wheel is under the wheel cover of his car !
