150 is way too much. Let Tesla’s stock crater more and let’s see where prices go.

Its obviously not directly related but there’s a hardware or software change which resulted in the vibration. There’s certainly some preliminary evidence the newer plaid is slower than the original in the 1/4 mile

I’m pretty sure they still list the plaid as trapping 155 Eventhough it never did.

They were absolutely trapping 151-152 and as put can see the brand new plaid on the same track running 9.33 at 149.

They did. Brooks seems to think his plaids performance degraded with time but that really isn’t consistent with dragy tests people did about a year after the plaid was released. Nor is it consistent with older generation of S that maintained its performance with time. My guess is Tesla found a...

$0

I’m convinced Tesla nerfed the plaids after 21 MY and has something to do with the startup vibration that only happens on 22+. New ones aren’t even trapping 150 anymore.

I guess its very individual if the wheel blocks the display. I have no issue with it. Its a real shame you can’t get wood in the plaid. I must be in a small minority that loves wood in the interior. Anyone know ballpark what 22 plaid with 8k miles would be worth? I’m considering selling and...

Obviously we need to see them in person but those new seats don’t look any more supportive than the current seats. Looks like a visual upgrade.

Model 3s are vibrating now too? Terrible

The S plaid is Tesla’s only viable product for me. It’s one of the very best looking sedans on the market. But you can see how they designed the rest of their vehicles. The performance makes the car worth the cost.

Tesla is not devoid of software and hardware bugs. For example, twice my drivers door would not open. Never had that happen in years of driving. Couple of occasions I get in the vehicle and the driver display is black. Nothing. A few minutes later it may show up vs soft reboot. Never had...

Anyone else have intermittent vibration at full throttle? I think this could be due to uneven/irregular road surfaces? It almost feels like the front tires are losing traction and you feel a high frequency vibration in the pedal. I don’t believe the front tires are slipping as if you get out you...

Tesla wasted its short lived period of dominance where they could have put a stranglehold on the industry. Focus on building the best product possible with the best customer experience. Instead they cut corners and knowingly deliver defective product and terrible CS. Now all of a sudden they’re...

Musk’s “statement” on Bob Iger on national TV was one of the most stunning and appalling things I’ve ever seen.

They got confused with the meteoric rise during covid when it was a take it or leave it market.

Tesla can send me $200 and I’ll consider testing their beta product.

Im genuinely hoping Tesla never sends me the update. I don’t want the fsd. I actually find the 12-15k price tag for FSD insulting. Tesla should take that amount off the car price to test the product for them and provide data.

It will make a big difference. The traction control system is so insidious you don’t feel anything abrupt but the butt meter will tell you you’re down on power. In the same manner road surface is also very important. Once you live with the car for a while you’ll know what roads in your area you...

The plaid is a different animal in warm temperatures.

Do you all think Tesla will ever update the tooling for the MS so the car is built in a much more uniform fashion? The model S is such a fantastic car overall but I’d be hard pressed to buy another knowing how much variation there is from car to car. Model 3 seems to be put together much better.

Also interested. Whenever I back out of my driveway which somewhat contorts to the vehicle I get this terrible creaking noise that I swear is coming from the backseat. It’s not related to the latch rattle that’s a different issue.

If your door is correctly aligned I wouldn’t worry about it.

Within the first 1000 miles i had 2 separate times where I could not open my driver door. The handle presented but when you pulled on it the door wouldn’t open. Tesla didn’t have an explanation but it resolved on its own and hasnt happened since. Now, that’s obviously not related to the...

That’s nice, however Tesla is fixing a problem they created. Never once in years of owning vehicles have I had to wonder if I could open my door.

Look at the refreshed Taycan. The car raises 2” almost instantly when the door is opened.

Its a welcome change for me. I’m a young spry guy and i move quick. I don’t like waiting around for my handle to pop out or not at all.

They’ll tell you whatever you need to hear accept the car. Moving forward, if at delivery the vehicle is unacceptable reject the car. Avoid service center if at all possible.

Seems like they’re opening sooner as well

I thought Doug sold out to private equity? He’s probably on contract to continue promoting the site but that’s it.

Forget about correcting it, they doubled down on it with CT and Highland. Tesla got high on their own supply thinking people will accept anything they put out.

Probably a defective seal.

That vibration is a normal feature of the car Tesla didn’t inform you about.

Short the stock to the ground since that’s all the company cares about

It’s not that they can’t fix it, they dont want to. I’m very certain that the employees working for Tesla know that these cars are being delivered defective. Yet the cars keep coming. This indicates a culture problem higher up at Tesla. Since their business and product is now directly tied to...

I had a 5mm spacer on the rear of my plaid and they cracked. Poor quality. Threw them in the trash.

The model S is different than 3. The cause in the S is the HVAC filter.

T2 tire ain’t nothing special. It’s got a useless bt sensor that just costs more money when I need replacement

The F series trucks are king of wowing on initial look but after you live with it for a while the issues become clear. The interior is a sea of cheap plastic, the screens are cheap with poor resolution, plus the issues you pointed out compared to Tesla. All that said, if you need an actual truck...

That’s done exactly the same as how the xpel corporate store in Dallas does. It’s a precut system.

Imo this is the market leader right off the bat. Has all the specs and won’t have any of the issues associated with charging. Being Ram the interior will be fantastic, will probably have their good air suspension, and it’s a traditional truck. Driving experience of EV will be much better than a...

I am in full agreement with you. The issue comes in when you’re charging luxury vehicle prices and getting the equivalent of a mid to low tier interior.

I don’t see CT disrupting the truck market whatsoever. It’s just too eccentric with limited value for the money. Will not be surprised to see huge price cuts with time. They new RAM models previewed today look like a major step forward. The interior on the current limited model blows anything...

I’m over the vibration guys. I’ve accepted my model S for what it is..

Par for the course. Their only objective is to get you to accept the vehicle tell you it will be fixed afterwards. It’s your problem then

Is Tesla loosing it's technology edge? Tesla vehicle technology vs. the Legacy Automakers. If you forget about the ICE Engine and just look at the technology in the vehicles it seems that Tesla is falling behind. Tesla didn’t become a 600b company by chance. However, I think it’s very clear...

as the market leader Tesla is in the position to “change the game.” Instead they present CT in its current state. It’s not hate but rather disappointment. Myself and others are willing to pay a premium for game changing product. Plaid was that, CT is not.

If the tire is hooking there’s no need to lower the pressure. That will just increase resistance on the top end. I used to run my 315 mickeys at 13-15psi.

Probably better for you to burnish the brakes than a tech. Just personal preference
