    How "rattly" is the Plaid?

    My Model S creaks like an old house on a windy day. Its genuinely awful. Service center tried twice to fix it and failed.

    Refresh Map Auto-Center/Auto Zooms with 2023.6.8

    It doesn't respect this while navigating and will go back to its preferred zoom level after a few seconds. Same as above, after a few seconds it will go back to whatever it feels like.

    Refresh Map Auto-Center/Auto Zooms with 2023.6.8

    Recently, I think 2023.6.8, Tesla changed the map to automatically recenter on the vehicle when not navigating. I find this infuriating. Even worse, when navigating it won't let you change the zoom level, and resets it to some stupid zoom level whenever it feels like it. Has anyone figured...

    Traffic Visualization change on 2022.28.2

    No, its not the average of both directions, that would be silly. As I mentioned its Tesla's own traffic data as opposed to googles that is shown on the maps when Nav is not engaged.

    Traffic Visualization change on 2022.28.2

    No I didn't randomly get FSD... Here is the traffic shown on the IC. Here is the normal traffic: And with routing on: You can see the yellow doesn't perfectly line up with the orange/red traffic. Not to bad here, but in some instances it was much worse. Talking to someone more...

    Traffic Visualization change on 2022.28.2

    I noticed that with 2022.28.2 that traffic now shows up on the instrument cluster which is neat. However it seems that now when you have navigation on the traffic is wrong. I was driving yesterday in some traffic and noticed that when a route is selected the blue line turns yellow/orange in...

    GPS accuracy new model S Plaid

    Had the same issue. The SC reset the DAS (not sure what that is) which helped alot. They claimed the interior camera also needed to be replaced. I had them do that at another visit but it didn't seem to change anything. Its much better now, but it will still be off by 10-20ft sometimes. Way...

    No Yoke

    My 2014 is superior to my 2021 in a number of ways. Interior storage space, real leather (particaulary compared to the crap plastic covering on the yoke), 3rd row seats, massive frunk, configurable dash, real buttons, way better controls. My 2021 is way better in alot of other ways, but it...

    2021 Model S (LR) - Real world driving range

    Same here. On a 60-70 degree day, driving at 68mph on the highway without stops I can get better than the rated range. In normal day to day use, or driving at higher speeds its alot less. For instace I usually drive 200 miles a week and charge once a week. So 90-20% over a week period I get...

    disappointed about tesla interior

    I love the current S interior. It's elegant and simple. With the excpetion of the steering wheel, all of the materials feel great and are top notch. That Nio interior is hideous, although not as bad as the interior in the MB EQS. They are all just so gaudy and overdone. I don't know if the...

    Show of hands… Adaptive Suspension

    Mine works just fine, its just not the night and day difference that it seems like folks are expecting.

    Show of hands… Adaptive Suspension

    The difference between all the way firm and all the way soft is pretty subtle, but its definetly there. I think the Op is just expecting too much, this isn't a mag suspension after all. Mine are pretty much the same when stopped, when moving I've seen upwards of 60%

    No more Uber Credits or loaners after warranty expiration

    I've gotten a loaner or uber credits for my out of warranty 2014 recently.

    No Yoke

    I disagree completely. The materials are way better on the refresh, the layout is way worse. The center console takes up an obnoxious amount of room, the bowling alley was wonderful for a laptop bag. The horizontal screen means part is blocked by the yoke and the other part is to far away to...

    Yet another 85kWh supercharging thread

    What's to ask about? They nerfed the supercharging speed on purpose, it wasn't an accident. Tesla cares not for its early adopters and is happy to screw them over.

    Plaid Suspension Accelerometer Test Readings in Comfort and Sport Modes

    I'd guess your sampling rate isn't fast enough. So on the hard settings you're missing the peaks that are much higher in magnitude, but over a short duration so you end up missing them in your data. Still it very clearly is different between the two modes so it is doing something.

    Has anybody tried older 19s on the refresh? Looking for winter wheels

    I ran Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 245/45R19 102 T XL Tires all winter on 19x8.5 Rial Luganos all winter on my Plaid and had no issues. No spacers, the back ones were about a half inch tucked in. I thought it looked fine, wasn't at all noticeable.

    Refresh wh/mile display in IC?

    Just have to live without it, or live with having the settings open all the time. It amazes me how completely awful the software is in the refresh. Its such a big step backwards in functionality compared with my P100D. I really miss the V7 days when the focus seemed to be on usability rather...

    Any loyal Tesla fans switch to Taycan?

    I contemplated switching while waiting over a year for my S Performance/Plaid. The taycan handles way better and looks alot flashier (which is either good or bad. The current S software is a pile of *sugar*, but maybe it gets better (or maybe it gets worse)? I like the yoke, the lack of turn...

    2020 Performance or new Plaid?

    I had a 2017 P100D (aka Performance) and switched to a Plaid. I was also considering a Taycan Turbo instead of the plaid and test drove one. 2020 Perf vs Plaid, the Plaid's performance and interior are much improved. The mid range acceleration on the plaid is crazy. The new interior is...

    Show of hands… Adaptive Suspension

    I suspect this is all coming down to a difference in perception and expectations rather than any actual issues with the system. One mans jarring ride is another mans sporty suspension.

    Winter tire recommendations

    I've run 19” 245/45 Hakkapeliitta’s on the car all winter and they've been great. I think they look good in the wheel wells, the backs are inboard a hair if you really look, but its not particularly noticeable. They are great in the snow, and still do decently well in the dry. Obviously they...

    Winter tires for the Model S Plaid ?

    Show of hands… Adaptive Suspension

    Certainly not the most sophisticated suspension. The magnetorheological suspensions are way more sophisticated (and are now 20 year old technology) and work waaay better. I can just barely tell the difference between comfort and sport. Both are worse than the coil spring suspension in my 2014 S.

    Is the rear screen useful for anything yet?

    Its a gimmick. Even if it had alot of capability, its in a terrible location. Its only use is if you want to make your passengers car sick, while you get to hear the audio of whatever junk they are watching.

    Turn off Autosteer chime?

    Thats what I do, but its a poor solution. It still chimes, just quieter and it also quiets turn signals, which I would perfer not to be quiet since the refresh sucks at turning them off.

    Tesla Plaid.... Simply Amazing

    What? I mean sure, you can play sonic super well... except for the shoddy controller support and the poor ergonomics. Are you basing that on what Tesla says it can play or what is actually out? I don't understand how they are possibly still advertising Witcher 3. It sounds like you haven't...

    I Ordered a Taycan

    If Tesla does that it will both destroy the supercharger network (unless they significantly increase its expansion rate) and make every other EV including the Taycan far more desirable. Was certainly a reason I got a Plaid instead of a Taycan. However the Taycan back seats are really just too...

    Power frunk coming for 2021+ Model S

    The Plaid frunk is significantly smaller than on my 2017, So much so that its mostly crossed the line to not being very useful.

    Power frunk coming for 2021+ Model S

    Its a shame the frunk has shrunk so much since the orignal. I use it all the time on my 2014 Rwd and find it super convient its about the same size as a regular cars trunk. On the Plaid its so small as to be barely useful though.

    Anyone have any luck on the refresh with game controllers?

    Wired Logitech F310 works just fine for me with a USB-A to C adapter.

    Can we have a separate Plaid/refresh section?

    I've asked this before. I don't think it matters how its broken up, but it would make life a whole easier if at least the 2021+ cars were discussed in a separate area.

    Has anybody tried older 19s on the refresh? Looking for winter wheels

    Older 19s should have no problem fitting, assuming the OEM tire size. However you'll need new TPMS at ~$400 a set.

    Wiki 2021+ Model S Refresh - Missing/Incomplete Software Features

    Model S plaid vs. Model 3 Performance

    No they aren't. A vocal few are. A vocal few who are taking their 5000lb family sedans to the track, where it has no place being. And thats ignoring the fact that every production car that is going to be tracked should have upgraded brakes. Even you said they are good for 6 consecutive back...

    Recall vs MCU1 upgrade or LTE upgrade

    That brings up another question, the instrument cluster is leaking, it doesn't really bother me, but does that get changed with the MCU2 upgrade? If not does anyone know the price for that? The LTE upgrade is basically a requirement I can't see having a Tesla without cell service.

    Recall vs MCU1 upgrade or LTE upgrade

    Between the recall, the 3G shut down, and the MCU upgrade I'm trying to figure out what to do with our pre-AP 2014 and what it will cost. It seems like the best idea is to just cough up the $2k and get the MCU2 upgrade. I assume this also will remove the need for the recall? Or is the...
