Looks like Tesla will hack it by software (increase rear torque at that range) I have a service appointment this saturday for another issue and I noticed they added this to the ticket

I have an appointment this Saturday for my AC smell( most likely will end up paying for a HEPA filter) but i noticed they added a service item on their own to update the software to reduce vibration during acceleration!!! Anyone got an intel on this? Did they finally change the torque (increase...

I takes a while for new filter to mold again. The smell started in my car after 6 months.

Audis and Porsche been always high in price, but the replacements of the E63 and M5 will come for sure in few years in the 100-120k.

Refreshed 2022 Model X plaid AC smells bad, and vibration, not fix yet Same is happening to most S/X if you live an wet area

HEPA filter not the normal cabin filter!

It is worth it 1000% we are just pissed from a financial perspective due to the price drop. But put this on the side, it is a great EV, good range and one heck of performance figures. Few small issues like normal but You have to change the HEPA filter 18 months for $500, other while it will...

LMFAO. You pretty much reflected on personal life🤣 enjoy!

Looks you never been or owned a million dollar car or even a 200k car 🤣😂 The plaid is a great value for drag racing and thats it! Not luxury by any means.

Thanks so what exactly removed the smell? U said the HEPA filter did not smell? So if you cleaned the condenser would that help?

No other car will drop that fast. Unless someone paid over MSRP. Also wait until you see more stories of people reporting that dealers are refusing to take Teslas as Trade in or they really lowball you. Bottom line if you love Tesla assume it will have no value when you trade it in or very...

Wait and lets see when they drop the price again to compete with other luxury brands. As everyone who sat in a MSP knows it is not 90k car.

Link? Is it 22 refresh?

Same issue . 2022 MSP smells bad for 5 min or so after rain or car wash. Is it confirmed that the HEPA filter replacement fixed the issue? Anyone got any luck with them doing this under warranty for a 1 year old car.

@whitex so you are saying it is ok for a car company to fluctuate the price that 2 years of buyers roughly lost 40-50% of care value in 1 year compared to industry standard of around 20%? Also the fact that most dealers and car companies refuses to even offer fair trade for Teslas due to the...

Yeah his comment is “interesting” and typical to what you get from fans. “Tesla is not a car it is special” is just hilarious 😆 , lets see where that car but not car company will be in 10 years. And wait till people realize they will get less than 30% Residual value when they wanna trade in...

Wow, Tesla **** you and you still defend them 🤣 Are Mercedes, BMW, Porsche competitive in the car market? Did they drop prices like this and f*** everyone? And please do not say EVs are different than other cars!! Car is a car regardless of how it run! You stay competitive in the market by...

LMFAO !! Are you for real? If you bought something at 100k last year and now it is 50k where your neighbor bought a diffrent 100k item that is now worth 80k? Which one is more valuable !?! Tesla was considered a good choice because it held its value better than other cars. Not anymore 🤣🤣

I think you have no idea how financial institutions estimate asset prices. MSRP is a factor as it is a start point to calculate depreciation or appreciation based on market trends. Go and do this experiment and get KBB trade in estimate for 10 cars that are 1 year old with 12k miles and see what...

when did you hear the last time a legacy car manufacturer (Not a dealer) lowered the MSRP mid year by 40%? people should get angry if a monopoly company like Tesla devalued their cars by 40% on top of the normal depreciation. If you argue that Tesla as a Car should be treated like a phone or TV...

LMFAO, you mean other car dealers who raises the prices weekly!!! Legacy Car manufacturers rarely change price on each car model/design until it gets face lift or new design. But if they do, it is usually few Gs yearly!!

Why the hell you keep talking about investment. Stop bending to elmo!! We all have bought high end expensive cars that all depricate. Never considered one as investment (around 1 mil total). You just estimate depreciation and plan to protect yourself. Couple of VPs that i know at some of...

LMFAO, i think you have no clue how Insurance companies and used market estimate car prices!! MSRP is huge factor into the equation.

Same for my precious cars RS and M and AMG. Regadless of how much you got them usually they drop based on MSRP.

Nope. BMW already sold the car at invoice to the dealer, the dealer decided to take advatnage to charge Market value. If you choose to buy that BMW then you accepted that fact that you paid above MSRP and will loose that money the moment you sign.

They dropped the price again to 90k so you either win that lemon buy back case or burn the car 🤣

no need for Dealers because Tesla does that to its customers without the need for 3 party dealership 😆 It is funny how some just assume that all Plaid owners bought the car to profit. Maybe they choose to not pay over MSRP for ICE cars!?! I guess we could have also choose to not buy a Tesla...

Exactly. At this point will keep it for another 1.5 to hit 3 years till it break even and then trade it for another brand and consider this Tesla experience as an expensive lease from a shitty shark dealer :)

At 1.9 interst. I financed at 5 years MSRP was 125. Put 15% down and i have 25% Gap through my insurance AND I am for sure upside down. U will need come with the diff if you sell. So the new purcahse price is not discounted anymore. Lol I can pay the car full today, it just sucks that this...

So the folks who bought high at 140 got 60k drop on top of depreciation, is this ok? You know that is almost 50% depriciation in 1 year. Which other brand has that? 50% is what you plan for at 5 years!! Cars depreciate for sure but not at this rate.

So another drop for the the Plaid to 90k now!!! Realistically how much do you think a 22 plaid with 15k miles will be valued now if totaled in an accident. Trying to figure out how deep underwater this car is. I got the car for 125, put 10% down for 5 years and with 25% gap from my insurance...

Check this post and see how many half shafts been replaced with no luck.

Any luck with this issues? I noticed the same on 22 Plaid. Never had an issue before (14 momths) with rain but last two months after every wash i get the werid smell for few minutes before it is gone. I found that leaving the car outside in FL hot summer for a day helps before I park her back in...

Same, before they updated the website to show the “Immediate Close” feature it was always beeing. After the update it is like 30-70 now, No clue what causes it. I have 5 diffrent myQ garages and they all behave the same. I am just haply the cannot connect error measage seems to be fixed. I only...

Any update on your lemon law case?

Thanks. I will wait then till end of the year to confirm the issue is fixed before.

Good to know, will for sure drop the car for service in few months once these parts become more available to all SCs (My Orlando Center sucks :)) I will search your old posts but did you post the service invoice with then new numbers and tech notes? Also by any chance do you know if installing...

same, since I wrote this post 5 months ago when they replaced the camera, no GPS issues.

Any update on the parts if Vibrations is back? Also a dumb question, does the installation of these parts require un mounting the rotors? Mine has the big Mountain Pass rotors kit and Tesla tried to blame them few months ago when i brought the car in for the infamous skid pad clicking noise...

Never drove LR so maybe the tri motor setup with suspension 🤷🏻‍♂️

I am pessimistic and would say most S refresh vibrate and if you find one that doesn't then It is a happy accident as this is a design issue. mine is very subtle and hard to notice unless you pay attention and know what to look for. We had 3 Plaids (2 22s and one 23) parked in our club house...

So there is a new part from Tesla. Fingers crossed.

Keep us posted, what part number you have on the service ticket?

I have owned multiple German high end ICE cars and they all had major issues around 5 years and 70K miles. I went through turbos, DCT full change and weird electrical issues.

it Is crazy that 10% down with 4 years term and 25% gap from insurance company I might be slightly upside down or barely break even after 10 months. I guess the extra equity when I traded in the old car last year might be needed if something happened.

I waited for 3 months to give it a real shot and see if noticeable changes happens between updates. unfurnately I noticed no improvement from Oct - January. The crazy thing it actually works really well 80% of the time, but when it screws**w up it does it in a royal fashion. I think it will...

What companies you looked into?

What do yo mean by demand? high or low? I assume high as Tesla still have couple of months wait on the 3/y. The high demand and the lower price you are suggesting does not make any sense. also the incentives are kicking in so Tesla most likely will keep current price or slight adjust it to be...

This is turning into a fanboy thread, check my other posts and see how we all complain about Tesla in some of the aspects you mentioned above. but since you mentioned your other cars, I had many other expensive cars (3x your Lexsus) in price and I had issues with all of them same to my Plaid...

Lol you really need a wake up call, go check other manufacturers forums and see the service nightmare stories.
