    Plaid front wheels break traction in tight turn into garage

    Mine does the same thing, every morning I back up and turn out of my garage. Seems worse now that it’s cold

    2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

    Mine makes this noise 90% of the time. I think it’s supposed to be like the soft close door mechanism if you have ever had it in other cars. It pulls the latch closed. Noise doesn’t happen sometimes when the hatch closes a bit harder than normal

    Should I get rid of my LR for a Plaid?

    I actually find the Plaid launch is just meh (for a 1000hp car 🤣). It's what happens after the launch that's scary fast. might be close to or ever faster than my R1

    Should I get rid of my LR for a Plaid?

    I got the plaid for the same reasons you described. I hate having regret especially if money isn't a problem. I've always bought the top spec trim of any vehicle just to be on the safe side lol. if you are the kinda guy that's gonna get pissed if you see another plaid on the road then just...

    MS Plaid order

    the lights/trunk misalignment isn't a big deal during the day. but it's pretty noticeable when it's dark since the shape of the led light bar goes across the top to both lights. I'm not gonna lose sleep over it, i just think it's pretty funny since my $30k econobox mitsubishi is perfectly...

    Does Anybody Else 'Wave' ?

    I think in the DC metro area, you'd get the one finger salute back if you waved to random tesla drivers. Plus a good 20-30% of the cars here are Teslas, so nothing special. I have a 2014 lancer evo and would wave to other evo drivers since it's pretty rare.

    Safety Score for Insurance

    I think the score only takes into account the last 30 days of driving. you'll see the fluctuations next month. The first few days after I got the car, my score was very low (how do they expect me to drive like a bitch in a MS Plaid). My score jumped like 20 points this week because it...

    My 2020 model S with free unlimited charging was just declared totaled by my insurance, is there anything I can do?

    I think you made the right call. If you were already half on the grass, there wouldn't be much grip for you to make that turn back onto the road. you'd risk t-boning yourself on the guardrail.

    MS Refresh Front Badge Replacement Options?

    in that case you can just use regular spray paint. you'll just need to get a can of primer and another can of whatever color you want. 1-2 coats of primer + a few coats of color.

    MS Refresh Front Badge Replacement Options?

    yes. I used Shadow Black for a matte black finish. if you want shiny, use piano black... or whatever color you want.

    MS Refresh Front Badge Replacement Options?

    I used hyperDip as well. Just take off the front emblem and follow the instructions. It came out looking great. you don't need to buy the "Kit". one can of hyperdip is all you need.

    2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

    I feel you bro. I've been lucky that all my issues have been just cosmetic. I've got the misaligned driver side tail light just like all of the folks here + some misaligned interior pieces. Went to the SC and was told to politely go pound sand.

    Model S Plaid First Impressions: Ordering through Delivery

    I have the same problem with the driver side tail light/hatch 1/8"-1/4" higher than the body. I took the car to the service center and they couldn't do anything and said that it was "within spec". I've already tried the adjusters and even took them completely out... but like someone said...

    Horn sounded while unattended

    This happened when mine was installing a new software update. 2:30am sounds like the default time for scheduled updates.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I actually like that the LR and Plaid look the same. First thing I did was take off that stupid plaid badge along with the front plate holder. I like to keep the fools on the street guessing lol

    Underwhelming delivery experience

    I just took delivery of a Plaid today and it was similar to what you described. I was only given the option for home delivery. a Tesla employee drove the car and left it in my driveway. he had about 5 mins before his uber came. He didn't bother explaining anything. just said to sign the...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    thanks bro. Yeah, i hear interest is going up again, I rushed to get the application in today. we spend about $300 a week in gas now, so hoping that the gas saving will offset the higher interest rates.
