So did I. Now I feel little reassured. Thanks!

May I ask if you ordered from NorthTints the store or the one from eBay? I found out they're entirely different merchants with the same name.

Sorry for replying on a older thread. But I wanted to confirm that northtints store and the one on eBay of the same name are two different merchants. Anyone ordered from the NorthTints.store? The non eBay merchant? Please let me know as I just placed an order from them and want to know if...

You read my mind. I'm gonna use double sided tape to make more flush as well. It's a shame we have to come up with these remedies on such an expensive car. But we gotta do what we have to do. Good work.

Good to know. I live in MD DC VA metro area. If you don't mind letting me know the installer POC that did your bumper? That's an awesome price for it. And I'm willing to drive down to VA as long as I don't any rock chips on the way lol.

$150 for your broken clip? And they didn't fix it under warranty? You must have an older model. I rather leave mine as is then pay $150 out of pocket. As stated before, I looked at several 2022 MS refresh and they all looked the same. I may try another SC and get a second opinion though.

Here's how mine looks on my 2022 Refresh S. The sharp pointy part does stick out a bit and will get caught when wiping over it with cloth. However service told me that that's how it supposed to be. I checked other MS Refresh on the lot and they were the same. It bothers me a bit. However they...

You may want to add three zeros onto that-;)

Yes agreed. The latest generation S is a whole other beast of a car.

Thank you all for the valuable input and feedback. If I can wait it out, which I think I can. Then the M3SR would be the way to go. Plus they added ryszen chip, heated back seats plus steering wheel and power lift gate.

Haha already did. The redeeming quality of her is that she doesn't really mind which vehicle as long as its good quality and 2020 or newer model year. Having said that, I already drank the Tesla kool-aid and will never go back to ICE vehicle. I guess I want the same for her.

It says Nov - Feb timeframe which is doable for me. And yes I can swing the $47k and prefer another Tesla as an EV since I'm already an owner.

Hi All, Practical advice needed. Situation: we need to get another vehicle for my wife and considering M3 SR as her daily driver. Her commute is about 20 miles roundtrip. I already own the Refresh S which has plenty of cargo, so don't need a SUV. We been shopping around on pre-owned Audi...

I driven MP3 and now own 2022 Model S LR refresh. And it's not even close. The S is better in every way. Hands down the best car I've ever driven or been in. Absolute 0 regrets.

So the Y was definitely the easiest car to get in and out of. However the S is completely fine and worth the trade off knowing the refresh S gives you so much more. For example, when I test drove the Taycan, I bumped my shin entering. I think it may have been in the lowest seating position, not...

Thank you! By far the best car I have ever driven-:)

Thank you sir. And like your username-:)

Thanks! I'm thinking I got a good deal justifying the purchase😉

Hey folks, Just brought home my 2022 MS LR from a dealer with only 3k miles, MSM with beige interior, 19 in wheels and FSD! For $107k. Clean carfax, 1 owner, and they gave me extra 4k more than Carvana for my 2021 Model Y trade. All in all I am very pleased with the driving dynamics, interior...

True you're right with regards to affordability. 😉 But I do believe the new MP3 has double paned windows, power lift gate, heated seats and steering wheel.

Wow thanks for the insightful replies. I guess I need to get over the six figure cost and start focusing on the features the S brings compared to a MP3 for example, which BTW.... is about 39k less and no small amount! However I need to get what I truly want in order for me to not have any...

Oh I see. I placed my order in May and says November-Jan estimated delivery. I hope it doesn't get pushed back.

Hi All, Already have an order in for an LR with a long wait😭 Just wanted to get some opinions and shared insights on the Model S Refresh cost vs other Tesla models and/or competing brands. This is not about affordability but rather wanting to get other's thoughts on whether or not this vehicle...

Thanks for this. Because I have a Model Y with black seats and see no stretch marks at all. I'm planning to buy a second Tesla maybe with white seats. However with stretch marks, blue Jean dye transfers and more maintenence required. I decided white is a no go for me.

You're absolutely correct and thanks for the detailed response. The OP has had this problem with only 3 mos of ownership. By contrast my Model Y with black seats after 1 yr, has no stretch marks at all, ZERO.

Haha nice, I'm in my 50s as well so join the club. The S is what I really desire in a car. Just have to get over the cost difference between that and MP3. I think we all know that it's definitely a step up. Congrats on your Plaid and drive safely and in good health.

Well I already have the Y for space n storage so no need for larger sedan. Having said this it's more about want vs need, I guess. I'm sure I would be happy with either 3P or the S. If the 3P had similar interior as the S then it would be no brainer lol. I just feel like the 3 has the same...

So curious. Do you drive a M3 now or still have your MD 90D?

Appreciate the thoughtful response and for understanding my dilemma. And spending that much dough on a vehicle back 2016 was a big leap of faith. So kudos to you. Sounds like you have no regrets. As for me I would be happy with either model but of course the S is the more desirable choice. I...

I hear ya. Glad you like it. Now the question for you....Is the Model S LR worth $40k more than the MP3?

I hear ya. Already have the Y and love the storage n utility, decided to keep it rather than trade. I got it at 51k and think its a steal compared to what it costs today. I'm wanting another Tesla sedan for myself. Hence my dilemma. I wished they made a mid-sized sedan slotted in between the 3...

Considered the Taycan as well but the Tesla tech was too much to ignore.

Haha very similar thought process because prior to the 3P I was comparing the refresh S to MYP but soon after realizing that I already own a Y, I decided against it. And you're absolutely correct in treating ourselves. Dont know about you but I'm in my 50s and life is too short to have regrets...

Interesting perspective thanks! I recently test drove both with white seats but for some reason the MP3 seats felt more comfortable. The S felt more confident, steady when accelerating while MP3 felt nimble and quick. Tough decision given the $40k price difference. But at the same time trying to...

Thanks! And yes I thought about post purchase feeling or regret or no regret. Is it safe to assume you do not regret trading the MP3 for the S?

Gotcha, good to know the range on the S. If anything not much of a risk knowing if I decide to trade/sell the S down the road due to the little or no depreciation. Having said that, if I were to get the S, it would be a long term keeper.

Thanks for the advice. With the recent price increase today, especially for S. I begin to wonder what the S will cost down the road making the MP3 the more viable option. My thought process is to get the S now and get it over with. Maybe I will just flip a coin lol.

Thanks for the input. I too considered trading in MY LR for the new S. However my wife will need another vehicle since she's giving her ICE car to my son. So the logical decision is to keep it and get the S if my patience can last that long.

Hello all. Currently have a 2021 Model Y LR and plan to give that to my wife. I have a reservation for Model S LR for $100k with EDD of Dec-Feb. While I can afford it, I never purchased a vehicle in that price range and with interest rates slowly climbing, I'm rethinking my decision and...
