    Me too.... so far, so good though.

    2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

    Update: Just completed my 8th service appointment. They reinstalled the entire rear window because the seal was not flushed which caused the loud wind whistling. This is my 3rd rear window and hopefully the last. They also installed materials to reduce the loose rear headrest rattles which...

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

    Another update... Made the trunk adjustments and it helped, a bit. But still have the whistling noise. Tried having someone point an air compressor into all the seems while I was in the trunk listening for air leaks. Could not find any :(

    2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

    Agreed. I also read they do SXM over the Internet using LTE instead of via satellite. Cannot confirm this though. But it would explain the poor connection and constant drops as the car moves.

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

    Just a quick update. The "envelope test" in this link was brought to my attention: One of the 4 adjustment points did not pass the test and was not touching. I added a small bolt behind the adjuster so it would not stay loose and loose my adjustment. Now all 4 points pass the "envelope...

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

    Thanks!! See below: Yes it varies with speed. Starts around 50-70 mph, never hear it under those speeds. It gets very loud and everyone in the car gives me a wtf is that? Is a window or the trunk open?? lol Yes it does, trunk closes all the way tight and I can hear the latch engage. No...

    2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

    You know what’s ironic about my experience? I’ve actually had pretty good experiences with service in Paramus, NJ. Equally as good as BMW previously. (although one slip up when they forgot to tighten the seat bolt). At what point should I consider a buy back? NJ lemon law says 14 days out...

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

    Folks, I'm still struggling with this problem. My "whistling" noise is 100% from the rear hatch somewhere. I tried taping off all the areas in question and no such luck. At last service appointment, the noise ironically stopped when I drove with the tech! Of course, soon as I got home, it...

    Folks, I want to love this car. I really do. Would not want to go back to gas for sure! But I wanted to post my experiences over the my first 18 months and 18k miles of ownership. For reference, I have a 2022 Model S LR purchased brand new with 6 miles on the odometer at delivery. At some...

    SIRIUS XM PROBLEMS (AGAIN), THIS TIME WITH FAVORITES

    Looks like this worked for me too. Appreciate the heads up on this one. This was something that annoyed me since I got the car! I did have to delete and re-add all favorites for them to start scrolling correctly. Now hopefully they can fix the fact that SXM skips and buffers so often, LOL...

    Mine changed soon as the tech was finished with the install.

    Who's getting the normal steering wheel?

    I tried calling Tesla support and my local service center. Both had no idea other then to be patient. The appointment will stick once they have it on hand.

    Who's getting the normal steering wheel?

    My mobile appointment for 4/3 just moved to 4/17. They still don't have the wheel that I ordered. Still no ETA from Paramus service, Tesla support or Tesla shop. I've called, texted and emailed them all.

    Who's getting the normal steering wheel?

    I just asked the service center if my wheel has arrived yet and they told me no. They said they are backordered and taking these week by week as inventory arrives and demand very high (although I ordered before it said "out of stock" in the Tesla online store). So, it's possible that my Monday...

    At least they were proactive. I saw someone above experienced where the mobile ranger actually showed up, but without a wheel.

    Who's getting the normal steering wheel?

    Got my car back today and return the loaner. Front motor and left and right half shaft assemblies fully replaced - no charge, all under warranty. My mobile service appointment to get the round wheel installed was moved to next aval, which is 4/3.

    Who's getting the normal steering wheel?

    Got a loaner from Paramus today. One of the two motors is totally blown. Parts need to be ordered and ~2 weeks to repair. They gave me a 100D loaner. Interesting to see the evolution of the car pre-refresh. On one hard, I feel the build quality feels slightly better. But the speed, regen...

    Who's getting the normal steering wheel?

    They took the car into "service mode" about an hour after they opened this morning. That a good sign. I was worried dropping it off without an appointment.

    Who's getting the normal steering wheel?

    Mine was just changed to mobile. A welcome change, EXCEPT, unrelated, I experienced an almost total mechanical failure this weekend while in South NJ. Car is making a weird grinding noise, extremely slow to accelerate and ZERO regen. Feels like I'm coasting in neutral once it gets moving...

    Who's getting the normal steering wheel?

    I ordered mine today and mine is scheduled to be installed in Paramus, NJ 3/27. I would have lived with the Yoke but given the option, I’ll get it switched out.

    Weird buzzing sound after updating to 2022.24.6 [Fixed in 2022.36.1]

    Overall after a few days, this firmware seems to be pretty stable. No issues at all. Rear screen seems to be fine so far. Hopefully it stays this way.

    Still on 2022.28.2 and can’t wait to get rid of this buzzing noise. Eagerly checking for the update.

    Weird buzzing sound after updating to 2022.24.6 [Fixed in 2022.36.1]

    Based upon historical precedent, any idea when we might see this? Only had the car for about six weeks and my understanding is that number in the firmware version represents the week number. Which would put week 36 two weeks ago.

    Weird buzzing sound after updating to 2022.24.6 [Fixed in 2022.36.1]

    Add me to the list. I got the high pitch whine noise immediately after installing 2022.28.1. Just downloaded 2022.28.2 and I still have the problem.

    Hi all, I just downloaded and installed new firmware update 2022.24.5 and it fixed how the steering wheel cycles through your SXM favorites. No more Ch 1, Ch 2, Ch 3 etc. etc. It now cycles through your SXM favorites upon choosing the next station. Excellent!

    This is annoying to me too. Takes your hands off the yoke and takes two screen clicks to change between favorites. It’s very distracting and takes eyes off the road!

    I did a little further investigation today around various panels. Sounded like it was coming from the front drivers wheel well. I felt around up there and it's full of super cheap flimsy plastic pieces. They make all kinds of noise when barely touching them. I'm not 100% sure this is it, but...

    Just a quick update… 24 hours into ownership. I think I’m experiencing the dreaded “drivers side dash rattle.” I started noticing it about 30 miles into driving yesterday and now I can’t stop hearing it. If you search online, there is a lot of information about it and several causes and mixed...

    In NJ, fully electric vehicles are sales tax except. Probably one of the most generous state incentives out there. On this car, that saves over $6,300. Better then NY or CA, for sure. But if they didn't, you are right. I'd get my $1,500 back with a Tesla trade-in via the reduced sales tax.

    How did you get them to replace the summer tires to all season? My service center basically told me “take it or leave it” Did you have to pay?

    Good Body Shop in NJ

    Would second MountainView. I live in Wayne and they have been around almost 100 years. Just brought my wife's Cadillac there for some work and it came out real nice. Took 8 days to complete about $5k of non-insurance work, which I found to be a pretty reasonable on price and turnaround time.

    I use NJM for insurance.... I just added the new VIN to my policy and uploaded the card in the Tesla app. ~$1,250 for the year with full coverage, $2k deductible, 100% clean record past 15 years. I think that is outstanding, but NJM will only take certain states and you need a clean record...
