    Peeling Yoke warranty replacement - updated materials?

    Had my wheel replaced this morning and I love the new wheel. It's great to have a horn in the center! The old horn button now brings up the camera which is useful. I feel like it's slightly smaller than the old wheel, but I haven't compared them, just feels slightly different, but good. When I...

    Peeling Yoke warranty replacement - updated materials?

    Made my appointment and they moved it to the service center saying that they can't perform the swap using mobile service which is interesting because I've had mobile service change it out every other time. But they haven't cancelled my appointment.. yet.. having it done at Orland Park, IL...

    Peeling Yoke warranty replacement - updated materials?

    I just scheduled a mobile appointment for Tuesday to have them replace my yoke. I've been trying to have it replaced for about the last 6 months now but was originally told Oct/Nov, then it was Feb and latest I was told late April for availability. Hopefully they'll have some in stock for me...

    FSD Beta v11.x

    Have been still regularly been getting into the beta this week? I had the beta on my Model 3 before getting my 2022 MS in late December and finding out that they had closed the beta for the time being. I opted into the queue about 10 days ago and have around 700 miles with a 97SS but still...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    I had ordered July 1st with a RN 1152 so something is not right about 1145 being in July. IIRC 1145 was April

    Providing an update. Tesla agreed to replace the steering wheel without any fuss. In the past month the material has further peeled off - I am quite shocked by the low quality material on the steering wheel. I am very concerned how this will hold up over time. I have started adjusting the wheel...

    Has anyone else had damage to the steering wheel? Feel like it's super easy to scratch, I believe it happened at the detail shop, but it's alarming how easily it happened and what appears to be such a thin layer. I'm going to setup a mobile tech visit, I'm hoping they'll consider this defective...

    I picked up my baby from the detailer and wow just wow, love how it turned out with the xpel stealth wrap and getting the caps done in matte red as well. Absolutely loving the car, my heart rate still shoots up anytime I floor it. Well worth the wait!

    Electric Riding Zero Turn Mowers

    I believe they outline 2 acres on a single charge. I have about 1/2 an acre or maybe a bit more and I will have about 70% charge remaining afterward the cut. I didn't get a chance to use it a ton last year as I got it late into the season, but it made quick work of the ridiculous number of...

    They will be able to expedite a trade-in. This go-around they refused to even give me a trade-in offer until I had a VIN assigned.

    2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

    Just getting to posts here, but I am also experiencing this issue in my MS LR. I originally thought it was a leak from the door, but I'm just wondering if it's cold air sitting near the controls/door well area. It's been my largest gripe with the MS, never felt that in my M3.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    That is one area that I've somewhat gotten used to, but I do agree it takes a lot more thought when making a turn or having the wheel anywhere other than at normal straight position. The one feature I'm absolutely in love with is the smart blinkers going off automatically after lane change. One...

    I had that happen for the first time to me the other day. Some jagoff trying to pass me from the right turn lane. I used all of my control to not go speeding around him. But we were headed immediately under a railroad underpass after the jackass did it. But either way tried hitting the horn and...

    Was just thinking the same after reading someone posting about missing trunk privacy piece. They told me they'd reach out when in stock, but knowing Tesla and myself it'll end up being forgotten about... I need to put in a reminder for a couple months from now to make sure I don't totally forget.

    After having to audition in my M3, the acceleration isn't a factor outside of how aggressively you're braking, and turning. My advice is keep it in autopilot for as much time as possible as you won't be dinged in AP. My plan is to opt in and do about a 100 mile trip on highway and drop off at...

    That is exactly how I feel, and after driving my LR for almost a month I don't feel that I would even want the speed of plaid if I'm being honest. The speed of the LR is enough to already get me into trouble, I can't even imagine what the plaid would feel like. I am really happy I just stuck...

    You may actually see an increase in value. I had received an offer for $1,100 more than an offer they made less than 2 weeks prior. They had offered $41,400 for my RWD FSD M3 with 47k miles, was pretty surprising. Funny story, they offered me $30k a year ago when I had 30k miles on it.

    I had the same experience, in fact I actually pulled out 11k in equity from my vehicle as the 1.24% loan is just too good to pass up on. They financed me for 100k on the 103k purchase and had 11k of equity leftover that Tesla will be sending me a check. It's been over 3 weeks and no check yet...

    I haven't had anyone comment on call quality in the S, haven't taken many calls in the S yet. While in my 3, I would constantly get comments about poor quality from my end. Hoping this isn't going to be the case with the MS.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Wish I had looked into that piece. I didn't consider the fact that you may avoid paying taxes on FSD after delivery. I decided to just finance it all at 1.24% - such cheap money, but the tax savings would've been nice in addition to points from CC.

    Is anyone else experiencing excess cold air coming into the cabin from the doors? While driving on the highway last night, it was apparent that there was a lot of cold air coming into the cabin making my leg next to the door much colder than rest of my body. My wife was first to point this out...

    Model S Plaid heating system sucks!!!

    I made a service appointment for this issue. I'm hoping that there was something missing from the insulation on the door. It'd be pretty disappointing to find out this is just how they are all built. Certainly wasn't expecting to have a sub-par winter experience coming from a model 3.

    Hi all, I took delivery of my LR MS last week and so far haven't had too many issues. I had a panel gap on the trunk that I made a service appointment for, but outside of that everything appeared to be perfect. Took a short road-trip for NYE up to Michigan about 130 mile one way trip. Going...

    Took my new refreshed model S up to Michigan for NYE and drove back yesterday during some inclement cold weather and I'm pretty disappointed with the heating system. My wife and I both felt that there was a draft coming from our doors, the side of our leg next to the respective door was much...

    So weird thing just happened. Tesla updated my EDD to Jan 15th to Feb 12th, but then went and updated my trade in offer without any initiation from me with a new offer $1300 more.

    I like your point of view on it. I'm trying very hard not to make an impulsive decision to just have instant gratification. I would really enjoy having the fastest production car available, but at same time I can only imagine the trouble it would get me into. I am a bit worried that it won't...

    After getting the call last night that my car was in transit and possibility of EOY pick up date, this morning EDD changed to Fed 26th-Mar 26th. Has the EDD bug still been occurring to those who have received VINs recently? Push out before VIN assigned?

    That is good to know. I have been told I was soft-matched with cars to go into production before, but never one that was already built and has a VIN.

    I tried to go down that path, and the SA told me to just wait at least a few more days to see if I would be getting a VIN. I thought it was interesting they were trying to talk me off the ledge of upgrading. But they did say any inventory order would be at current pricing, no reduction.
