I can confirm after a full day of using the directional signal that if you use the first detent and move the lever at a reasonable speed and don't hold it at the detent everything works as it should. I'm satisfied that holding it too long at the detent was the cause of the failure. It's good now...

I've further narrowed this down today. It's going to be hard to explain but I'll try. In other cars if you want to make a lane change you can hold the lever against the first detent and the blinkers will go on until you let go of the lever. The stalkless S never had this option since we didn't...

Hi Guys, I'm having a problem with the directionals. They are just not consistent. They seem to work about 75-80% of the time. It doesn't seem to matter if I move the stalk to the first position or the second. When it fails it will blink once and stop. If I immediately try it again it invariably...

That doesn't seem to be the problem. When I push the panel in it feels like it is hitting something inside toward the middle that won't let it go all the way. Marc

I just finished the install. Everything except for one issue went well. There is a bit of a color variation compared to the original upper shroud which I don't care about but we'll see what the wife says :) The issue I have relates to the center panel where the blue female plug is. It was very...

Ok, thank you! Marc

Mine didn't come with any instructions. Would you be able to share that with me? I was planning to install the stalks today. Thanks, Marc

Mine is on the way. I just wanted to mention that the only thing I don't like about this car (my 3rd S) is it's lack of a turn signal stalk. Over the years I've complained about plenty of drivers that don't use their turn signals and with this car I found myself in that same group. I just can't...

Good info! Thanks :)

Ok, thanks. I'll take a good look at it first. Marc

Do you see any potential problem if I use an impact wrench to remove the center bolt? Marc

This post is incredibly helpful. I just ordered the kit and will be doing the install myself. Your tips and cautions are appreciated to the greatest extent! Marc

Thank you a bunch for that. Now I see the distances and it alerts when getting too close. It is a bit conservative but that will work for now. Thanks again, Marc

I sure hope so. I wonder if we will get back the measured distance to an object and the STOP message. They were really helpful. Marc

I'm coming from a '22 S with actual Park Assist that worked. This one which just updated in the '23 is a complete waste of time and effort. It is damn near useless and I am so disappointed. The countdown in feet is gone as is the STOP warning. All it has is a bunch of squiggly lines that are...

Those are beautiful pictures! One comment you made regarding paperwork intrigued me. When I picked mine up on Tuesday in Long Beach the guy literally just handed me the key cards and pointed. No paperwork or signatures. I didn't have a trade or financing so maybe that's the difference. I've...

For sure not. Marc

Picked up my SLR ultra red with white interior yesterday evening. I was supposed to get it today but one of their guys called and asked if I could come get it earlier so, sure :-) This is the exact color I was hoping for. Both Ford and Mazda use it and I always do a double take when I see one...

There is a new Ultra Red X in somebody's driveway a couple of blocks away I noticed on Monday. I'm in Huntington Beach, CA. Marc

My Ultra Red SLR, white interior, 19" and steering wheel is still March 23-31. Been that way for a couple of weeks so far. I'm in SoCal. Hope its real :-) Marc

I can attest to that. I had a huge eucalyptus tree fall on mine while driving by and the aluminum roof structure was smashed in but the glass roof only had minor chipping along the side edge while the windshield was smashed through on the passenger side (which was luckily unoccupied at the...

Ditto March 17-31 Marc

Ditto. Feb 10 order date. Marc

I have a red S LR on order since January with 19" wheels and white/black interior. My '22 with the same configuration had a huge eucalyptus tree fall on it with me in it and driving during a wind event. I ALMOST bought one of the showroom demos last week but kind of talked myself out of it...

Ditto

I also would prefer a wheel over the yoke in my '22 MSLR. A few weeks back a tech was out to the house to reinstall the door weather strip that was delivered hanging out of the door. While he was here I asked him what was happening with the yoke and he matter-of-factly stated that the factory...

I completely agree. My wife just said the same thing, "just quit looking at it". More than anything else it bums me out that they either think that it's OK or worse, nobody even looks. I can imagine they're getting pushed way beyond what they were in 2017 just trying to keep up with demand and...

Dave said "The plastic parts do not fit the same. Looks like the plastic is definitely off. The plastic on the left goes out a good 1/2 inch past the top of the tailight, while the right is even at the top with the tailight. The plastic is definitely different on each side all the way down, but...

It looks like it is both. The top fender cap on the left side looks like it was welded on so that it protrudes to the rear about 5 mm too much. It also looks like the same cap is angled higher as well. You could conceivably fix the lower part by remounting the plastic panel in and up but that...

Here is the right side for comparison.

'22 SLR I have no idea how the heck they are going to fix this. The bigger question is how does it get out of the factory like this. There must not be anyone who cares which is pretty sad. My 2017 didn't have any issues at all and this new one is already beginning to look a bit shoddy. Marc

Thanks for posting this as I've been messing with it all morning. Same thing, both phones were near the car. The procedure we will use going forward is to have whoever is going to drive approach the car first when we are leaving together. When we are alone it works perfectly of course. Thanks...

Fun Funny you should say that. When the service guy called to say the car was done I asked him if they checked the other doors. His response was, "why, did you have an issue with any of the other ones?" Duh! "How would I know if you don't checked them? If one is loose who's to say another one...

New Model S LR picked up last week. My wife takes it for her her first round of errands only to come back to tell me that the driver's door is making a clunking noise when she opens it. Sure enough the top hinge is loose! Unbelievable! Both bolts are a bit more than hand tight. I already had an...
