    Politics - Quarantine Thread

    It's not political BS. The country was shut down and supply chains were all jacked up (still are). We printed a ton of money and reduced domestic drilling. These are all things that have boded well for the price/demand of Teslas. Cute dog btw.

    Yes we can certainly thank Brandon for the chip shortage and sky rocketing gas prices!!

    New charge port LED placement is horrendous.

    Worth $20K more how? Pricing increased due to inflation not because they added features. The folks who got the refresh at $80K are most certainly in the money as they could easily sell it used with 10K or less miles for $90K+

    New Model S Plaid/LR. whistling wind noise at 79+ MPH

    Yea I am starting to self diagnose my wind whistle this week. I am actually thinking it may be from the sideview mirror…little gaps on the side and bottom of the assembly make me think that once the wind force is high enough and at the right angle, that whistle noise is created. I already had...

    Model S Refresh Passenger Side Repeater Camera not flush

    Mine has the same issue. The cameras are not secured correctly. After driving in windy conditions or going through a car wash (touchless!) they pop out slightly. My guess is that Tesla will just use double sided mounting tape to secure them so may just do it myself…so many little issues with the...

    New Model S Plaid/LR. whistling wind noise at 79+ MPH

    Has anyone found a real solution to the “wind whistle” that occurs around the driver side window?? Well documented on others youtube reviews but haven’t found a solution yet. It becomes apparent at 70+ MPH and is super annoying! I have already had my entire door seal replaced but it still...

    2022 MS Refresh Front Dash Rattle

    Yes I have this. Service verified all components underneath were secured and tried to adjust the dash pad. Still have the issue. I think its just poor design at this point. The car rides pretty rough and there are joints where different components meet that lack foam/padding. Hope you find a...

    Refresh Model S Tint / PPF / Ceramic Photos & Info

    A hight quality paint job is still going to be more than PPF and you still don’t have protection from things like rock chips so you could end up repainting. The new S is a magnet for chips and debris due to the wider tires. Tesla’s factory paint is also known for being thin due to CA...

    New Model S Plaid/LR. whistling wind noise at 79+ MPH

    My issue is definitely at the driver side front door. I thought it was from the little triangle window but after taping all around it the issue was still there. I hope that someone figures out a solution!

    New Model S Plaid/LR. whistling wind noise at 79+ MPH

    So has anyone figured out a solution for the wind noise? Just got my MS back from a second service where they replaced the belt seal and performed smoke test to ensure window is sealed. I am still noticing the whistling at highway speeds. Starting to think that its just an engineering flaw where...

    Model S Plaid - 6 Months Later

    Got it thank you - well this will lead me to go back to the tint vendor too to re-do the triangle...hopefully this solves the wind issue though. I also have rattling under the front dashboard as well when I go over bumps/decelerate so need to fix that too. Aside from the technology upgrades in...

    Model S Plaid - 6 Months Later

    Yes wind noise from triangle glass on driver side. At highway speeds (70+MPH) I get this intermittent whistling noise and have tried using flex seal tape in multiple configurations with no success so it has to be something on the outside that is generating the noise. I can stuff a towel in the...

    Model S Plaid - 6 Months Later

    Okay thanks, if you happen to know - did they replace the entire assembly including the glass or just the gasket or something else? Sorry for more questions but just want to have as much detail as possible so I can communicate to my SA. I took the car in for this issue previously and the SA...

    Model S Plaid - 6 Months Later

    I am having a similar wind noise from the triangle window area but on the driver side. Did the triangle window/gasket replacement work for you? Seems like others are having a similar issue. Thanks.

    Plaid Impressions, Road Noise & Real Solutions

    I have the MS LR...first 3,000 miles the road noise was minimal whether local/highway roads. Now, when I get to 70 MPH+ on the highway I have an intermittent whistling from the wind outside my driver side window. I am almost certain that it is due to improperly sealed and/or worn sealing around...

    Refresh Model S Tint / PPF / Ceramic Photos & Info

    Asked because I just had PPF done on mine by a very reputable place but they didn’t cut holes for sensors. No issues the first week but now have the “park assist unavailable” notification and notes it is due to parking sensors being obstructed or installed incorrectly. The dealer said that with...

    Refresh Model S Tint / PPF / Ceramic Photos & Info

    Absolutely get PPF. I initially went without on my white MS LR and after 2K miles had 2 noticeable rock chips on the front. Partial is fine - full front hood/bumper, side mirrors, rockers, and doors. Total was $4K with tax. Installers are all different so make sure you ask about whether they...

    Wiki 2021+ Model S Refresh - Missing/Incomplete Software Features

    If your reference point is other “premium” upgrade luxury brands then sure it sounds fine but my point is that the 2019-2020 Model S system was louder and subwoofer hit harder than the new refresh. I’m not sure how that can be when the specs are better…more speakers, more watts, etc. For a $95K...

    Audio System

    Has anyone done a teardown of the audio system? The 2019 MS I had honestly sounded better and the subwoofer was definitely more noticeable. I just can’t understand why if the new MS is rated at 1000 watts and 22 speakers as compared to the old MS being 600 watts (I believe) and 16. The cabin is...

    Paint sucks

    Well here’s a rant and I’m sure a bunch will give me the “should have PPFed it”…just got the pearl white MS LR a month ago and already have 2 paint chips. I find it unacceptable for paint to be this soft. I drive carefully and every other car I’ve drive has not had rock chips happen to this...

    Refresh Model S Tint / PPF / Ceramic Photos & Info

    Is the factory placing PPF around the rear wheel wells now? Maybe a dumb question but just picked up my MS LR and it appears this is the case unless they left film on the car for transit that should have been removed.

    just got the 2021 MS LR... I am super disappointed with the audio so far. I understand there is a software update that will allow separate control of the subwoofer but the update has not yet been sent to me. Any ideas for how to get the software update pushed through quickly? Setting a service...
