    Model S SR reintroduction / would you have waited?

    I would not have changed my order. I think the pricing needs to be minimum 15K difference. I do think that if you can be patient I suspect some spectacular end of Q3 deals will be available.

    What's new in current production model S vs 2021 model

    The new headlights and taillights and hw4 are the most notable to me. The old lights especially the taillights and LED strip in the rear glass are REALLY dated.

    My thought process was there is a bin of interior parts on the assembly line and when one is missing they just grab what they can find to keep it moving!

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    We had this happen too. I can only think it is intentional and they figure they will correct down the line. All in an effort to sell as many units as possible at almost any cost. We had a panel in the back that was White in our Cream car. It was completely obvious. Even at delivery our...

    New changes to Model S

    When are we going to get the center horn functionality. I don't mind anything else about the YOKE except the horn. It makes it damn near impossible to place a correctly timed FU Honk at people.

    Model S existing inventory and pricing

    Interest rates and most are nervous about the economy is my guess...Fed doing what they can to slow down demand for everything. Good times.

    future option to buy 21 inch Arachnid if initially ordering 19 inch Tempest?

    Zero reason to buy them new from Tesla. Plenty of people purchased them new with the car and regret it and sell them almost immediately. I'd just buy a lightly used or takeoff set for far less.

    2022 Model S Winter Tire Question

    I am in Colorado and while yes it was a PITA to find some wheels/tires. Discount Tire took care of me as they always do. The wheels had to be ordered but were here in less than a week. Just go in and talk to them. Feel free to send me a PM if you want more details. I have posted my set up in...

    Winter tire recommendations

    Make sure they are reviewing it as a Model S refresh. Have had some do comparisons setups for old S. I’m not sure I’ve seen anyone run an 18” wheel on the refresh. I’d be concerned it will clear the brakes. Do not count on Tesla delivering you a winter set. I ordered in stock in August and...

    2022 Model S Winter Tire Question

    Xice is a great tire. You will not be disappointed. Road noise seems the same. If this was a more dedicated winter driving car I would have opted for xice but have the BMW for the heavier days. Nokian R3s here. Also a great tire.

    Cannot believe you're still waiting. This reinforces my opinion of one and done with Tesla. Unless Major changes occur. I just wasted nearly 3 months waiting on the winter tempest setup that Tesla false advertised as in stock. Took my money in August and never delivered. I cancelled last...

    2022 Model S Winter Tire Question

    Correct options are extremely limited for this car. It sucks. This is what I am doing through Discount. If all goes well, they will be mounted tomorrow. Going to run a staggered setup (I know it's not advisable with winter tires and narrow tires are better) but this car will rarely see snow...

    Did you try Discount tire? When I went a few weeks ago they were able to get in the Pirelli tires and the Vredestein wintrac pros. I'd just go in and talk to them.

    Keep us posted if you remember on how the car behaves after the tire swap. I have seen some mixed reviews when you get slightly away from OEM and the computers get a bit finnicky... Really hoping you and I do not have any issues. My overall diameter will be about .3" larger with my setup...

    I just got back from placing an order at Discount. Going to run a staggered setup (I know it's not advisable with winter tires and narrow tires are better) but this car will rarely see snow and when it does it will be very light. Mountain trips and deep snow will be handled by the snow tire...

    They know me by now even though there is a revolving door of managers and workers but I go in pretty often and I make it a habit to speak to the GM and the employees and remind them of all the issues I've had. I do this not to be annoying and an ass but to politely remind them to be careful and...

    Zero help at the service center as expected. no problem-solving skills at all with this company. I have no choice but to get a refund. Another disappointment as an owner.

    Problem is I purchased the entire "package" from Tesla and they refuse to use their problem-solving skills to address the situation. I am actually going to try and swing by the service center today and speak with someone in person. If I cannot get a resolution, I am returning the entire thing...

    Yeah they just pushed me out another month to Mid November. I asked the service center to sell me the wheels and tpms and I will find my own tires but shocker, nobody has gotten back to me. I am going to swing by the service center sometime in the next week or so and see what I can accomplish...

    Mileage on MSLR

    Worry less? There is a warranty in place and IMO it only matters as you get closer to that warranty expiring. I personally have never tracked the mileage closely. We charge to 80% and have never gone below 42% in a single day. Plugged in every night. One day I drove about 50 highway miles...

    No, Not yet. I want the set and I am still holding out a little hope they will deliver it. I have been going back and forth with the service center that is supposed to be receiving them. They have the wheels and TPMS but no tires. Today they suggested I "go look at third party options if I'd...

    Still waiting for these snow tires to arrive. Really irritated with the lack of service that TESLA has as a whole. Pretty shady charging me full price for a product they advertised in stock and months later I am still waiting. I am about to dispute it with my CC Company. If anyone has any...

    Tesla is Peaking in Q3 '22

    I do not disagree with anything you're saying. These are some of the very reasons I love our Tesla. I am a first-time owner. The experience you have had is for sure an outlier having no issues in 250K miles. I hope I am as lucky as you. I can't even get a set of Snow Tires delivered by...

    Tesla is Peaking in Q3 '22

    My opinion based on nothing than my observations, but my gut says that Tesla deliveries will peak in Q3 '22 but 2022 will still set a new record Year end total delivered. 2023 will be a declining year which I attribute to overall economy deteriorating, more competition and biggest of all the...

    Winter tire recommendations

    It will feel different for sure. Primarily due to the softer compound of the rubber. Unless you go with a more performance-based winter tire like the Pirelli Scorpion or the Michelin Pilot Aplin PA4 (My all-time favorite winter tire). These drive closer to a performance all-season tire but...

    Has anyone received the refresh Model S Winter Wheel and Tire Package from Tesla?

    You may try ordering through the app on your phone. That is what I needed to do to complete my order. I ordered about 2 weeks ago. I am worried these will never show up in time for winter with the way Tesla operates so I'd order with Caution there. I was charged and still no indication...

    X-Ice is a great tire and would be my first choice of the two. I do not have any firsthand experience with the Pirellis. More than likely it will be a slightly sportier tire hence the lighter snow comments. Depending on how much snow and ice you drive and what the price comparison is would...
