You're right, I'm wrong. Simple supply and demand is the only reason for unprecedented price drops. Congrats, you win an online pissing match. Have a good day

And yet you still can't answer my questions. Got it. 👍🏻

The Plaid was touted as being able to do repeated high speed runs without the motors needing to cool down that the previous MS Performance needed; wouldn’t it stand to reason that the brakes should be able to stand up to these repeated high speed runs as well? What’s the point of having a motor...

I bought my truck during the bubble one year prior to buying the Plaid and still got 14% off MSRP. And it’s not like the Plaid’s price went up significantly between 2021 and 2022; at the time I bought, it was only $10k more from the original 2021 $120k MSRP. There was nothing in the Plaid’s...

I stand corrected. I wonder why service doesn’t know anything about these? When I called, they didn’t know about them.

I don’t think you can. When calling into local service, they don't know the pricing, or at least they say they don't. And it's not on their website either; only through the service menu in the app. And it seems like their brake upgrades all include installation.

Name another car company that drops their new car prices for what is supposed to be their flagship model by over 30% in one year like Tesla has. Or name another car that has a used price dropped that much in such a short period of time. My Ram truck has a horrible resale value, but it's not as...

I had a mobile service technician tell me not to worry about the price drops b/c Teslas hold their value; not if they keep dropping the prices the way they do. I bought my Plaid when it was $130k and came out to $145k after everything. Put $20k down with a loan that was 2.39% through Logix. I go...

I agree that for regular driving, they do the job, but if a car company touts a car to be as fast as the Plaid is, you expect the car to be able to handle that speed. The old brakes clearly don't. IIRC, the Plaid is one of the few, if not the only, high performance vehicles that takes longer to...

That’s my understanding from the email. Any Plaids built after Jan 12, 2023 will have the new pads and calipers. Not sure if the LR gets the red calipers. You’ll see the upgrade in your app’s service menu. It’s separate from the standard wheel and tire service selection and lists both pads only...

$750 for the pads alone and $2700 for pads and calipers is correct. I reached out and that’s what they quoted. I replied that this should be free considering most of us paid significantly higher than the current price of the Plaid, and they get the upgraded brakes. Needless to say, I haven’t...

I‘m looking at it from a on-road performance standpoint since I have the Plaid and I didn’t think the performance models were overpriced. You got the best bang for your buck, even at the higher prices. I’m sure most MS and MX competitors have better build quality and that’s reflected in their...

I’m not looking at it as an investment, but cutting prices by 15-20% overnight is artificial depreciation. I'm not planning to sell, but it just sucks to know that if I wanted to I'd have to come out of pocket to cover part of the loan. Literally all the principal I paid down since May...

And just like that, I'm upside down on my auto loan 🤦🏻‍♂️ Thanks Elon.

I'm going to double down on my previous post that maybe they just don't hear us gunning it. If they do see us, they can't tell how fast we're really going if they don't have their radar on. Case in point, yesterday I was making a right turn at an intersection and I didn't see the police cruiser...

Happy New Year's guys! Thanks for the responses and advice. Thanks. A quick blowout is my biggest concern. The puncture wasn't a slow leak and would deflate so quickly I had to fill it up a few times to find the hole since whatever punctured it wasn't in the tire. I don't track the car, but I...

Thanks guys. I just had concerns with the plug b/c from what I've read after getting the tire plugged, they aren't that safe. Given that I have a lead foot, last thing I’d want is the plug to give out at 80+ mph on the freeway on a $100k+ car. I was considering the Super Sports because those...

Hi everyone. I got a flat on one the the rear tires about 6 weeks ago and had it plugged since I was heading out of town that day. I’ve gone over 1000 miles on It so far, but I’m thinking it’s probably best to change the tires. Has anyone gone from the stock 19” Pirellis to the Michelin Pilot...

I average about 310Wh/m over the course of 6000 miles and that includes quite a few 0-60 ”tests”. I do mostly city driving and have a lead foot. I can get mid to high 200s if I’m below 70mph. I’ve gotten in the high 100s in really bad traffic on the freeway.

No, they did not lock it to chill mode. I had full power until 85mph.

You can always get the Pilot Super Sport. It’s the predecessor of the PS4S and comes in the factory 19” size. They’re marginally heavier than the PZ (6lbs total) and might be a bit louder since they don’t have the foam inserts.

The P Zeros do chirp, but that could also be b/c of road conditions and cold tires. Haven’t had a chance to go to the nearest drag strip since the closest one is about an hour and a half away in heavy LA traffic, so the strip of road I’ve found that has no driveways or turnoffs and is deserted...

As someone who drove an LR loaner for two weeks while my Plaid was getting serviced, there is no comparison. I really missed my Plaid, as did my daughter. You won’t really notice a difference during normal driving and acceleration, but you just don’t get that gut punch in the LR like you do in...

I haven’t listed them yet, but still plan on selling them. I’ll have to check on shipping to NY if you’re interested.

I know it’s not accurate and don’t expect to get anywhere near the estimated range. All I'm saying is that tire pressure seems to change the 90% range the car estimate and that people should check their tire pressure if their range suddenly decreases. I've read the different threads, and it...

I know this is an old thread and I wanted to add my experience rather than start a new one for anyone whose range decreased. I believe Tesla does take into account tire pressure when calculating range. I have a 2022 MS Plaid with 19s and about 4500 miles. My estimated range is 396, so 90% is...

I’m wondering what would be a fair price to sell only the Tempest rims (no tires or TPMS) from a 2022 MS Plaid? I’m putting the factory rubber on 19” Signature SV104s and don’t need the Tempest rims anymore. Thought about using them for a winter setup, but don’t have room to store them. I know...

Followup to my previous post as I don't see an option to edit and add to it. The whine starts when you hear the "click". Not sure what that engages, but it starts right after that.

I think the whining noise occurs when the car's system is awake. I went into the garage to charge the MSP last night, but forgot my phone to unlock the charging port. Didn't hear the noise, but it immediately started when I came back with my phone. Then this morning, I checked the car without my...

Same here. Tried powering off and resetting systems but it's still there.

I wonder if it has to do with the fact that you can hear an ICE car flying down the road a lot more than you can an EV?
