    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Model X and S Plaid owner here. I ordered one of these existing inventory LR 3's this week that are supposed to be delivered Nov-Dec. I also got a VIN immediately. So, I guess even though there is a VIN it hasn't been built yet and I guess Tesla will start production on LR again in November...

    New Model X Plaid Drive Unit Failure...should I be worried?

    I have to keep pressing the close button to override it. It just beeps three times and doesn't close when I single press the close button.

    New Model X Plaid Drive Unit Failure...should I be worried?

    Picked up the car and now I can at least drive it. But the FWD on the driver's side doesn't want to close automatically for some reason!

    New Model X Plaid Drive Unit Failure...should I be worried?

    Yes, I think you're right because the service person wasn't very disturbed by it, as if he had seen others that had the same issue. Even the tow truck guy told me he's seen a new Tesla die in a parking lot a few times before. The service advisor texted me today after I asked and he told me...

    New Model X Plaid Drive Unit Failure...should I be worried?

    Yes, I was not happy. But I guess if they can fix it by the time I come back from vacation then not a huge deal. Winter is coming very soon and I need it for the snow, so they can't take their sweet time either.

    New Model X Plaid Drive Unit Failure...should I be worried?

    Yeah, I hope they don't screw anything else up in the process.

    New Model X Plaid Drive Unit Failure...should I be worried?

    Hey guys. So I picked up my X Plaid 2 weeks ago and took it straight to my detailer who wrapped the whole car with stealth ppf. Got it home a few days ago and drove it to work with no issues. However, when I went to get lunch, I noticed the whole car had become unresponsive-- no app support...

    Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

    Few ones in new inventory that matched what I was looking for, so decided to jump on them rather than wait until Nov-Jan for my Plaid order. The one that is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow is a MSM with cream interior. I could wait 2 weeks and have one with white interior. My S Plaid has the...

    Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

    I'm an X Plaid order still waiting for a VIN. They even pushed back my EDD by 2 months, so I think there is plenty of demand for the X Plaid.

    My original EDD for X Plaid was between Sept and Oct and now it moved to between Nov and Jan! :(

    Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

    I have a Model S Plaid and was considering changing my SUV for the X Plaid. Have had a reservation for a plug in hybrid Tucson for the last 8 months with no movement yet. When I look on the site, it says expected delivery Aug to Oct 22. How accurate are these windows? For the Plaid, do they...

    Winter tires for the Model S Plaid ?

    Any issues with the all seasons Michelins? I am thinking of buying them too as the car is my daily driver outside of super snowy days and I want to be able to navigate my city streets without slipping or cracking the tire material.

    Can you run the car in all suspension settings? No problems then? I might buy them then.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Thanks. I read that before posting but it seems like transport mode is only for winching onto or out of a trailer. Supposedly we could just drive it in and out; I just don't want the battery to discharge. In Audi, transport mode disables alarm but I guess Sentry mode being disabled accomplishes...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Has anyone ever transported a Tesla? Do you need to put it in transport mode in a trailer or can you just tie the wheels down and keep it in park? Any issues to be aware of? I had an RS Etron GT lose 12v battery during a transport and have to be winched out with ebrake on. They think the alarm...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Nope. The one I just got today had a door not open which they fixed. It also has a rattle in the back seat area but I think that's been addressed by putting electrical tape on the U latch. Have yet to do that. Few cosmetic things I put a service appointment for and I did not get the privacy...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    You basically have to forcefully pull the lever to open it and then it won't close. It just tries to latch then opens back up. The SA agreed it was an issue and offered either mobile service appt in 2 weeks or extra night there to fix it before formally taking delivery. I chose the latter. I...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Looked at the MVPA of the inventory one I got today and it says New--previous service/demo car. But it's a 468 VIN so that makes no sense, it wouldn't have had time to be one. I'll call tomorrow and figure out what's up with that but looks like I might be keeping the cream one afterall. It was...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    So sad. Well, I have approved credit through my credit union too but not as good interest rate and more down payment but that would allow me to easily cancel BOA without going through another application process. Depends how much I want the white. Cream is ok too with the blue exterior paint. I...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I asked BOA to do that but they said because it's been funded and it is now an open loan they have to have it paid off first then you have to reapply. Seems like a lot of work for seemingly simple fix. Tesla is seeing what they can do.

    So, I've got a Plaid blue with cream interior coming on Jan 29. Signed financing documents yesterday and it is funded now. Today however I saw a blue with white interior with VIN 468 in existing inventory so I snatched it up. I know this is crazy but has anyone reversed financing before to take...

    I've had the same issue with DCU. It's been elevated since Friday to their management team and they say I should get a response today. I've already gotten approved through my other credit union so that helps.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Sorry to hear that :(. Tesla doesn't seem to be as up front with deliveries, etc as competitors. This one is at the end of the 465s and they already want me to schedule delivery. Promising thus far. Cream might be ok, thought white looked a little stark but definitely more modern.

    Man, I'm so pathetic. Ordered another existing inventory car because I'm not sure when the other 2 will ever get here; I doubt the SA on the phone was correct in saying Jan 19 to 23 for the one that had its VIN pulled. Because I did all the financing stuff I want to make sure I didn't do it all...

    Thankfully not all Western states. Colorado gives us a tax benefit. That's how I paid $0 in tax on a 360k McLaren, because I traded in 3 cars worth more. "Saved" me $30k on that car.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Yeah I've been monitoring them for the last week and I snatched that blue one and was super happy. Now there are barely any left with FSD and none with the color options I want, so I'm stuck waiting until a factory built one comes available. Tesla people say Jan 19 to 23 but I highly doubt that.

    Where did you find them in NJ? I'm checking existing inventory and I see Philly that has one.

    The universe wants me to get the new lights. The car that was being delivered to me next week (scheduled delivery) got pulled from my reservation due to damage and now I'm back in the same boat: reservation but no VIN. Ugh!! And I went through the hassle of getting all my financing taken care of...

    In the past year, I've had 6 different cars I've traded in (X3M, RS7, RS Etron Gt, Supra, GLE63S, R8). Bad habit but oh well.

    Found a 2022 Plaid from existing inventory in SF with the same options as the car I ordered. Manufactured end of November with less than 50 miles supposedly. So I snagged it and it is supposed to come next week some time. I'm keeping my other order in case there's something wrong with this one...

    Looking into it, looks like the black and white interior causes it to be delayed, at least to here.

    I am not the most patient person so having my delivery pushed back to the end of March is a little annoying. But with the new headlights might be worth it. Are the cars in existing inventory on the website customer refusals due to issues or just random deliveries that were canceled by the...

    That would drive me crazy! Electronics are really picky in these cars but I agree, they do drive nicely. I've got a 720s and the Plaid will be the daily; it just won't look as cool as the 720 (but will be faster).

    New to Tesla. Had an RS Etron GT for 2 months which was my first electric car but traded it in because of the low range and poor charging network. Great car but my RS7 felt more premium on the inside despite being cheaper. Anyway, I ordered a Plaid a few days ago with a 2-6 week delivery date...
