I test drove a friend’s MSLR and my impressions were that it was barely quicker than my M3awd+ up to about 80mph where the MSLR seemed to really get going. Thanks for the data, it proves I have a well calibrated butt meter. Now that test drive also confirmed that I keep the Plaid I ordered and...

Really? Then something is wrong with my car as in the rain brakes won’t slow the car down for a good couple of seconds. Freaky as hell.

I think Tesla should add brake pad drying like BMW has been doing for years. Not that hard to do, I think BMW is based on wiper usage, they apply brake to dry the discs when the wipers are in function. Then when you need the brakes you don't have the few seconds of nothing happening.

Any impressions on the RB street pads? I had a few instances of my car not having any brakes when raining. I understand that the initial bite will be soft due to the water, but that was really bad. Wondering if the RB street would be an improvement under these circumstances.

Only money has nothing to do with that. If you don't have money for a Plaid, you can still get out and test the LR acceleration. Dragy cost only 200$. I think LR don't really care much about performance, or at least not enough to get out and test. I take all these downvotes as a proof that I'm...

Anything can be done or you just lived with it?

No rear was off, yes it’s a Plaid. But maybe I should try to turn it on and see if it changes anything.

I noticed today that cold air is coming in the car at highway speed from under the armrest. Anyone has that problem? Outside temp was -5c, ventilation was set at 20c. Hot air coming from the system but cold outside air is coming in from the under the front of the armrest.

My MSLR is due in a month and I won’t take it. I have been away from the forum for a while. Are there people still looking to jump the line or is it over? I have the old price locked in red, black 19s 117k$ instead of 122k$.

Hey guys, there is a red Plaid for sale and ready to go in Quebec city if anyone is interested in snapping one before the lux tax.

Vendor was ok with replacing the damaged wheels. I'll see how it goes but so far looks like everything will be alright. Looks like a stand up guy and he's willing to make the right thing and not give me the run around. I'm very pleased so far. Stay tuned.

Back from the wheel repair shop. The owner told me that even if he would profit from repairing the wheels, he would personally send them back. Not the quality he expects from forged wheels. I'm gonna follow his advice and see what the vendor has to say. Stay tuned.

I will ask about de-coating and recoating. I'll see what they say about that. That's actually a pretty good idea. One wheel was correct. So maybe send the two worst back and keep the two best. I love the idea. I always thought gold/bronze and White looks good. Maybe the time to try it. Though...

I talked to the vendor. He admits there was a problem as those wheels should not have been sent out. Being in Canada screws up my options a little. Vendor offered to take the bill to have them repaired locally. Sucks to have new wheels repaired. Refund. Sucks as those are great wheels...

It’s what I thought. I can’t wait to hear back from them to see what they suggest we do with this.

I’m not gonna tell what company it is for now. I’ve contacted them and waiting for a reply. If I’m happy with the way they handle this it’ll stay that way. If they give me the run around I will post the name with pictures for all to see. Just want to make it clear: these are brand new, fully...

No. Fully forged.

These are brand new wheels. They’re forged. I expected flawless finish because I always assumed that forged wheels were hand finished. I will contact the vendor and ask for a replacement set or a refund. I admit I’m kind of bummed.

Got a set of brand new wheels. 3 out of 4 have some imperfections but one has a fine scratch. At the price these costs I was expecting perfect finish. Am I too demanding? Would you guys bother to file a complaint with the seller?

That was the point I am concerned about. In cold temp, if you charge on arrival the battery is warm. But the charge will be completed after a few hours so the battery will freeze and lose % and then the car will charge every now and then during the night as % drops. By charging before...

In Quebec you can ask for a temporary exemption. If for example you leave for the US for the winter. You maybe have something similar in Ontario. However, they can mount your winter tires for you. If they wanted to charge extra just explain them that you’ve been waiting for the car for months...

Good info thanks. I lost 6 or 7 % on my 3 in 3 years. A bit more than I expected.

I thought about that but was wondering if I wasn’t putting charging stress on the battery twice instead of once. But I did do that in the coldest days a few times.

I’ve had my Model3 for three years and have now added a MS Plaid but still I’m a bit confused as to what is the best charging time for the best battery life. In the winter, with my Model3, I would always charge the battery as soon as I arrived home in the evening because I figured that the...

Did a run today before the snow tires are mounted. 80% state of charge, 2 in the car, launch mode used, 2degC outside temp, bumpy rural road. The car is quick! But after a week, I’m already getting used to it and would gladly take a 200hp bump. 😁

I think I have one of the cars needing the firmware. It doesn’t connect to my Tesla app, the map doesn’t have the satellite view option, I’m missing the Spotify, Netflix, Youtube etc apps in the menus. I don’t care. The car runs great, I avoided the luxtax and I can enjoy it a little before...

One will likely sell well before the other.

My Plaid along with my friend’s were both missing the rear left rock guard. I don’t think they scratched all these cars at the same spot. More likely a lazy QC or they ran out of left pre cut PPF and decided to send the cars out anyway.

Wow man awesome, a 22 before the lux tax. This is the best possible scenario you could have. Congrats!

I talked to my SA and they didn’t receive many LR. They delivered 20 MS so far and the majority were Plaids. I have a friend who simply called and bought one Plaid that was sitting in the lot. I think it’s possible to get a Plaid before Jan 1st, but LR will be a nick of time thing from what...

I have a bug with my car. Car doesn’t link to my phone Tesla app. Youtube, Netflix, Twitch, Spotify and tesla streaming icons don’t appear in the infotainment. I went to the SC today but the tech/mechanic guy couldn’t get it work. He said he’d contact a Tesla MS specialist to try to figure...

Got my car today. MF452 Plaid/white/black/cf/19s. I have a few glitches, the app can’t access my new MS but it works alright with my Model3. I am going to the SC tomorrow to sort it out. Not the best picture but here it is:

There was a case for the 3awd though. The M3P beat the C63 amg, but the C43 amg was quicker than the 3awd. With the performance boost the 3awd got quicker than the C43. I think the MSLR will get boost if a car it should beat gets quicker. Now since the MSLR handily beats every car in its...

That's just crazy! However that means that I might be able to sell my reservation to someone if possible. If not possible, I can probably buy the car and re-sell it to someone wanting to jump the line. Either way I'm not cancelling my order.

I have a friend waiting on a LR and he also got pushed back this morning from late Nov to late Dec. It doesn't sound good. Probably a shortage of parts of some sort. The good news is, this could change overnight and you get the car as planned. It happened a few times in the past. It seems when...

It doesn’t mean anything good. Sorry.

~4000$ luxtax (20% of 19450$) ~18600$ tax (15% of 119450$+4000$) Cry, shout, bitch, complain all you can to Tesla to get your car before Jan 1st. It’s worth it. However, the luxtax is still not official. So you might be ok. Still I would not take that chance.

Same as any province. The lower of 20% on the amount exceeding 100k$ or 10% of the price of the car. Then you add the regular taxes on top of that.

Went to have a look at my car at the SC this morning. I noticed there is no PPF in front of the left rear wheel but it is there on the right side. Any idea what happened? Can they have really put PPF on one side only??

Yes it’s possible. She told a few other cars had the same problem. One had the problem the day after delivery. Known problem and a bit common it seems. I have a friend with a Model3 that also had that problem this past summer as well.

Thanks for the info! 👍 In my case they could definitely switch out the ABS module on the unsold car. No changes to the sticker. It also probably takes less time to switch this than switching the wheels. I don't know just speculating. But it's an electronic module. Not some mechanical stuff that...

If it wasn't for the 20% luxury tax about to hit Canada I think that's what I'd do. No point in getting a Plaid as winter is about to hit and winter tires will be installed almost as soon as I get the car.

You'd be right and I would not want to push my problem on someone else. The SA told me the car is not allocated and that they could draw the papers so I can buy it. Problem is I don't want 21s and I already bought my 19s winter tires. I bought many cars in my life, I can't think any dealer...

So freaking tired!!! Tesla SC called to tell me they just received my car but the ABS module is defective and will need two weeks to get a new module. So instead of getting my car next friday or a couple days early, I'm now postponed another 2 weeks. Worst, they have a car in the lot just like...

My Model3 AWD was 1300$/yr My Plaid is 1500$/yr No big deal

Guys I went by the SC today and they told me the cars are in Chicago. They think my car could be in Quebec city friday or saturday. So you guys in Toronto your cars will definitely be in Toronto for the weekend. It looks like we were all on the side train. This is it, the wait is coming to an...

Everything is possible. However, with at least 6 month production already sold and a raised price I don’t see how the MS would get the coveted new batteries. They’re selling all they can build, with more margin and on the old batteries! Plus, there are tons of money still waiting to be made with...

That’s nice! Assuming our cars were on the same train, maybe I’m also gonna get mine a few days earlier.

It missed the train or something. They had an Oct 28th arrival to Quebec city and then the SC called me to say that according to what they were seeing the car will arrive Nov 10. I then called my contact in Toronto and she told me yeah sorry seems like your car won't be there before Nov 10th. So...

Yep. By far.
