    Anyone received UWB (Ultra Wideband) phone key functionality on Refreshed MS?

    I have the same wheel covers. Solid choice.

    2024.8.7 brings UWB phone key to HW4

    About effin time. Crazy how us "flagship" Model S owners have to wait for new features.

    Something other than a Model S?

    MSLR owner. It takes about a month for your brain to remap to using the turning signals on the wheel/yoke. This loss of stalks issue is pretty overblown. I hated the loss too initially. Now, whenever I have a rental car with normal stalks I can't wait to get back to my Model S.

    The 2 Best Days In a Plaid Owner’s Life

    It's immature to think that Tesla has any obligation to you post-purchase other than to service your vehicle while it's within warranty. For those who feel burned, there are plenty of other manufactures out there. Good luck. I sold a house that's worth $400k more now than it was worth at the...

    The 2 Best Days In a Plaid Owner’s Life

    My 2023 Tesla is in the car selling business, not the preserve customer's trade-in values business. The market dictates cost. If the cars stop selling at the advertised price then what exactly would the people concerned about their trade-in values like Tesla to do? Go out of business...

    The 2 Best Days In a Plaid Owner’s Life

    Regardless, if you opt to spend $127,000.00 on a car, that is on you. Not on Elon. You bought the car at a price that you thought was fair at the time. As a happy 2023 Model S owner, I would have never spent $127,000 on this vehicle. That's just crazy.

    The 2 Best Days In a Plaid Owner’s Life

    2024 Model S vs. Plaid

    There's plenty of videos on YouTube and threads on the forums that seem to indicate that the stock braking performance is not on par with every other heavy high-end sedan. This is also supported by the fact that Tesla started selling upgraded brake pad kits for the Plaid for purchase with...

    Just test drove a highland in Los Angeles

    2023 Model S LR owner here. For the first month and a half I HATED the loss of turning stalks. Now, I'm glad that they're gone. It takes a while for your brain to remap something that you've been doing the same way for years and years, but once you do, you probably won't want to go back...

    2024 Model S vs. Plaid

    Do you feel like you use the full power of the Plaid often, or is it just nice knowing that you have UNLIMITED POWER (Palpatine voice) at your disposal? I would think the nice thing about having the Plaid is just knowing that you can smoke anything on the road that's out there.

    2024 Model S vs. Plaid

    If you listen to Elon talk about the Plaid in the announcement keynote, it's kinda like they designed the carbon wrapped tri-motors in the Plaid almost as a science project just to see if they could do it.... Practicality in street driving clearly wasn't their intended goal. Unfortunately, it...

    2024 Model S vs. Plaid

    I originally owned a 2022 Model 3 Performance, but traded in it for a 2023 Model S Long Range. The Long Range is unnecessarily fast. So fast, that I don't even bother using the full extent of its power except in the rarest of occasions. Flooring it in either a M3P or an Model SLR is a party...

    Future Model S?

    You just have to keep in the mind that the S & X are not the money makers for Tesla. It makes more financial sense for them to focus on the vehicles that are making the most money for the company (Model 3, Model Y, new 25k model). As a result, I don't see these changes coming for the...

    Is the Model S worth it over the Highland M3?

    Well yeah.... of course there are mods.... but, rolling off the lot the Model S rides better.

    Is the Model S worth it over the Highland M3?

    Model S air suspension FTW

    Is the Model S worth it over the Highland M3?

    As the current owner of a 2023 Model SLR, and as a former owner of 2022 M3P, I have to say that I will NEVER buy another Tesla that doesn't have air suspension. The ride quality between the Model 3/Y and Model S is night and day. No contest.

    2 painful years with a Model S

    It's pretty simple... if build quality is your top concern, then don't buy a refresh year vehicle. My 2023 Model S is amazing. Thanks for beta testing for me.

    Painful model S buying experience from tesla

    Hard pass on this used vehicle, especially since you're likely paying a premium. Tesla's used vehicle prices are a joke compared to their competitors. Ironically, Tesla also pays the least for its own vehicles when it comes time to trade in.

    Goodbye all; Good riddance Tesla

    De If you're worried about value, then you should probably be leasing instead of buying. So much whining about Tesla doing THE RIGHT THING and lowering prices for consumers at a time when everything is overpriced. You bought a vehicle at a price that you were comfortable with. The market...

    Thoughts on the i4 M50 from a former M3P owner

    The Model 3 Performance and Model S LR/Plaid are on totally different levels. I've owned a brand new 2022 Model 3 Performance, and currently a brand new 2023 Model S Long Range. If I was under 30 I'd want the Model 3 for the handling and cornering. At this stage of the game, speed + ride...

    Damn that sucks. Mine didn't have that issue. The good news though is that nobody is really getting that close to examine the quality of your spoiler.

    Show off your Refreshed Model S

    You should be fine. Just use a sun protectant on the actual spoiler to stop it from peeling and you'll likely be fine. You can buy a new one in three years and still be cheaper than buying an OEM model from Tesla.

    I went with RPM's with a matte finish. The glossy finish starts to peel just over a year from what I've read online.

    Paint repair kit ultra red

    I received the following response from automotivetouchup.com: We can mix that color for you but it doesn't show on the site. You will need to call your order in for a rep to place the order for you. Your paint color is a tricoat, so you will receive a groundcoat and a midcoat that is sold as a...

    Paint repair kit ultra red

    Being that the new Model 3 Project Highland refresh has an Ultra Red option, I have to think that Tesla will start selling touch up paint for the color soon since the M3/MY is their bread and butter.

    Paint repair kit ultra red

    That sucks. On the fence between a Model S LR in MSM or Ultra Red. Not being able to find touch up paint for Ultra Red at this point is pushing me towards MSM though :(
