    Plaid Track Mode is Amazing!

    That’s exactly what I would like. I keep my GTR in track mode on the street as I like a tight feel all the time. But since it’s just on the street it does not need the extra cooling. Plus don’t turn off all the nav functions as well. I am sure this is wishful thinking though.

    Refreshed Tesla Model X issues: frozen camera, brake fault, high voltage system fault, etc.

    Mine has been much better after replacement. after a long supper charge or very hot day I would still get errors that my park sensors were off line, that would go away after it cooled back down. Then after one of the last software updates that went away. Had a mobile service come out for another...

    Wanting to order a Tesla Plaid, will wrap it, but what base color?

    Wrap is Teckwrap Lava Orange. I can’t remember the tint but it was pretty mild, wish I went darker on the tint

    Refresh Model S driver’s seat creaking.

    Ya mine is different. Happens mostly when my wife is in the passenger seat. She is thin so the belt hits the seat and rubs. When shes not in the seat it goes away as the belt is not buckled at that time.

    Refresh Model S driver’s seat creaking.

    Not sure if it’s the same issue but on mine it was part of the seatbelt rubbing against the side of the seat. I put some self stick felt on the parts that rub.

    MS LR Brake Squeak AFTER Fully Stopping

    Good luck. They told me to get them real hot to the point I can smell them. Haven’t tried that yet as what’s the point if it comes back within 100 miles drive. I might eventually try aftermarket pads and maybe rotors. SC told me it’s an EV thing as the breaks aren’t used a lot. If that’s the...

    MS LR Brake Squeak AFTER Fully Stopping

    Mine is doing the same and they told me the same story. They burnished them and noise came back within a few hours of driving. It’s not the normal break squeal, sounds like a duck. Add this to all the other problems plus terrible customer service and this is my first and last Tesla. I drive a...

    "Refreshed" Model S model VIBRATION tracking and information thread!!!

    Not sure yet. It has had a lot of bugs for sure. But when it works it’s fun and a nice car. I am on the fence if maybe I should of went with the MQS or waited a few more years for the market to improve. The Taycan or Dream was not a good value to me.

    Mine took about 1000 miles to notice it and got worst from there. Felt great at first.

    Refreshed Tesla Model X issues: frozen camera, brake fault, high voltage system fault, etc.

    Thanks aus1andr. It’s just a shame. As an engineer myself I really want to support Tesla and SpaceX but this is making it hard. If I built a product with these kind of issues I would be fired. There are even more issues that I did not even mention. Like it makes a loud duck like sound when using...

    Touch-Up Paint for 21" Sonic Carbon Turbines?

    Refreshed Tesla Model X issues: frozen camera, brake fault, high voltage system fault, etc.

    Plus they canceled and rescheduled the mobile visit twice and now say it’s not available in the foreseeable future and I have to now go to the service center that’s two hours away. Oh and months to even get to that. Worst car experience ever and I have had a lot of cars. 4300mi is all I have on...

    Refreshed Tesla Model X issues: frozen camera, brake fault, high voltage system fault, etc.

    On dark rural roads the left fender camera gives an error that it’s covered or needs to be cleaned. It goes away when a car passing in the poising lane lights up the road. Then error again after the car passes. If I turn on the left turn signal it lights up the road just enough to make the error...

    Refreshed Tesla Model X issues: frozen camera, brake fault, high voltage system fault, etc.

    Same happened to me. They changed out the compute. A few weeks now and it’s mostly been ok. Still another issue with a camera. Loud honking noise when stopping with the breaks. Door handles present randomly while driving. Then to add to the misery customer service is the worst ever. Don’t buy a...

    Refreshed Tesla Model X issues: frozen camera, brake fault, high voltage system fault, etc.

    Yes I have. I live in a high rise so I only can charge using super charger. The back up jitter is not like before, it was more of a freeze that lasted a second or so but the lines still worked. So if you weren’t paying attention you could back into something. They next day aired my computer back...

    Refreshed Tesla Model X issues: frozen camera, brake fault, high voltage system fault, etc.

    I had most of the same things on my plaid. They replaced the computer a few weeks ago. So far so good. I do still get some occasional shuddering in the back up camera but nothing like before.

    Bouncy Suspension Model S

    Mine feels fine and I have everything manually set as stiff as I can but I would like it way tighter still. Track mode is even better but that forces you to trade off certain street driving features. I came from a modified GTR and with that I set the suspension to race mode all the time on the...

    Auto Windows Front Passenger

    You need to reset the limits. It’s in the manual someplace but most cars work the same way. Press the button to roll the window down and keep holding for about 15sec. Then do the same thing but window up. Repeat for each window.

    Plaid vs LR Visual Differences

    Wanting to order a Tesla Plaid, will wrap it, but what base color?

    Thanks, they did a pretty good job. Wish Tesla had some fun colors to chose from. I figured why not save the $2500 paint upgrade fee and put it towards a custom wrap. Payed for half of it at least.

    I tinted mine as part of my full orange wrap. I will take some pics of the back when I get a chance. It cost me $150 for the tail light wrap and that made this a non issue for me.

    Diagnostic Port Index

    Mine is a 2021 model s plaid. It seems to be switch as far as I can tell. My meter is correct as I am an electronics engineer for the last 35 years and spent 10 years design stuff for AEM. Not that i haven’t missed things before but it’s unlikely. The detector turns off as it should when I am...

    Diagnostic Port Index

    I just wired up my detector today to the OBDII port in the foot well. Yellow and black wire, just taped into them and ran the wire up the A-pillar so I did not use a connector and the connection is hidden behind the paniel. volt meter showed it turned off when the doors shut and no one is inside...

    Refresh Model S Tint / PPF / Ceramic Photos & Info

    Got my Plaid back today, wrapped and tinted. 35% ceramic tint, but not dark enough so probably have it redone 15-20%. Not great pics but at least it’s back to start driving. Cant wait for track-mode and upgraded brakes

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Got her all wrapped. Not great pics as I just got it back. Did 35% ceramic tint as well but think I will have that redone and drop it down to 18%. Maybe have the lights tinted as well next.

    That’s for the suggestion. I already tried turning all the stops, made no difference. I will check the gaskets when it comes back from full color wrap.

    So like everything else looks like wrap vinyl is in sort supply depending on the color. Apparently the glue is the problem so the manufactures are stocking more of the basic colors like flat black. They were six months out for most orange. Going to use Teckwrap fierce red. So more to add to the...

    picked it up yesterday. Love it so far. Going to drop off for orange wrap and tint in a few days. only two problems but otherwise it’s fine with me. Trunk does not always latch and passenger door needs to be brought up a bit as it just hits the rocker. I do have the worm in the air bag but...
