    My First Tesla-2021 Model S Plaid MSM-Pics

    Awesome. If you had to only choose one car, which would it be? I only weekend/joy ride and I'm considering Plaid/Taycan/911. A part of me wants to enjoy a 911 because I have the rest of my life to drive electric cars.

    My First Tesla-2021 Model S Plaid MSM-Pics

    Thoughts on the Taycan? I find the "Sport Sound" to replace engine noise is pretty satisfying and fills the void better than Plaid's. Love your car btw, very tasteful.

    MSM paint fade?

    I'm noticing MSM model 3s that are a few years old - the color looks different, not a sparkly/bluish, and doesn't look as good, quite frankly. However I see newer MSM model 3's and it looks great. Did Tesla start using a different paint recently or does MSM age poorly? I'm currently considering...

    Risk of buying lightly used from dealership out of state?

    Hello, I really want a Tesla model S soon, my reservation is in September! I am seeing some slightly used Model S's for sale at a good price out of state at a Chevy dealership. Since Tesla's warranty is so extensive, is there any real risk here in buying this way and having it shipped without...

    Best practices for buying from someone from this forum?

    Long story short I am looking to buy a model S from someone posting here. They seem legit. I dont have time to fly out and inspect the car/drive back. I plan to purchase it and get it shipped here. I'm not entirely at ease with the process, but I cant wait for 6+ months for a car. -What method...

    Model S as a weekend Car?

    I've read some about the car still staying "on" when not being driven. I only drive my car about once a weekend or so, probably put about 150 miles on it a month. Is a Model S not a good idea for this kind of driving?

    Wait times are killing me!

    About a month ago I placed it. I am thinking of just buying a M3LR, as I see them for sale for ~list price with <5k miles. If I feel the need for a Model S I can always upgrade later

    Wait times are killing me!

    Ha, I mean I see them slightly used <5k miles for sale around me. Can't find any MSLR non-plaids

    Wait times are killing me!

    I'm currently carless, ordered a Model S Long Range and delivery date keeps getting pushed back, now August-October! I've been researching purchasing used, but 95% of the Model S's I see are Plaids, and I don't want to pay the $30k premium for a car I don't want. I also don't trust Carvana/Vroom...

    Coming from a Model S...

    I canceled my model s for similar reasons. I live in the city, I prefer smaller sports sedans, and model 3 is plenty fast. Plus, I like a steering wheel LOL

    Buying Plaid with 1k miles from BMW dealership

    Hello, my Plaid delivery date through Tesla was pushed out from November to March. I see there is my exact spec available for 1k miles for sale at a BMW dealership near me. It's about $15k more expensive, but thats OK with me. Is this a terrible idea? I'm new to teslas and i have two concerns...

    Is getting a refreshed model s in black a bad idea?

    Seeing a lot of issues with rock chips on sides of the car and paint damage. Will MSM be much easier to maintain over black?

    MSM vs. Black tail lights

    Is MSM just as difficult to keep clean as black? Saw one in person today and looked very dirty. I'm also trying to go for this look - what would i need to do? I hate how the stock tail lights look with MSM. Screen-Shot-2021-11-08-at-8-39-03-PM

    Model S plaid vs. Model 3 Performance

    Thanks. have you had any issues with rock chips? From my reading, the wheel position has been causing some issues with rock chips in paint. Because I'm so new to tesla and not a car person, I'm not comfortable with getting my car wrapped in PPF. Do you think it would be OK without any? I've read...

    Model S plaid vs. Model 3 Performance

    @WilliamG Thanks for the response. I'm worried most about the wheel position and getting paint damage on the plaid. I've read about PPF but this also seems like such a nightmare - costs money, might need to be replaced in 5 years etc. as i said im new to tesla, and always own crappy cars so im...

    Model S plaid vs. Model 3 Performance

    I'm completely new to Teslas and have only driven slow-luxury cars. Money is no object, so i was drawn the Plaid, essentially to say I had the best tesla available. However I am not skilled at driving fast (big) cars. And 0-60 2 seconds seems like it would be scary fast and probably a danger to...
