    Whatever happened to the front bumper camera and ambient lighting?

    This has always been there. It is just the view from the camera on the windshield. It's been there since last year and is already functional. Teslascope is the one that lied and shared fake news about ambient lights and front camera coming tat that time and I lost all my respect to them...

    Plaid Sport Bucket Seats

    They look somewhat yellow here... unless it's just a bad angle/contrast when they took photos. But from this angle they certainly look different and it wasn't like that before.

    Plaid Sport Bucket Seats

    Now those are reaaaallly unique seats!!! Love the Chamois-like leather also. Does anyone here still trust Teslascope who made false claims on March 1, that start 3/1/24 all case produced since then will have ambient lights and front camera? They made it seem like they know what they are...

    Tesla releases New Yoke

    You bought the new yoke yourself and installed it? Where did u get it from?

    Anyone received UWB (Ultra Wideband) phone key functionality on Refreshed MS?

    have been using it for the 2nd day now, about 8 trips (8 deep sleep wake up unlocks). It works and its AWESOME. Couple of things worth mentioning: 1. The car finally unlocks just fine even when the phone is in my back pocket. 2. The car unlocks just as I am almost there next to any of the...

    Trade your Model S Yoke for my Steering Wheel

    Just curious. How do you like the Yoke thus far compared to the wheel since you tried both. I have TWO steering wheels (when is the 2023 version, and another is the new 2024 with the mechanical horn). Now that I have two wheels, and one that I do not need anymore, am thinking of trading the...

    Anyone received UWB (Ultra Wideband) phone key functionality on Refreshed MS?

    Yes All good now anyway I had to restart my phone for that to trigger it!

    Anyone received UWB (Ultra Wideband) phone key functionality on Refreshed MS?

    I got the 8.7 update but still can’t see the Tesla under the nearby interactions on the Iphone 15 Pro Any thoughts?

    Whatever happened to the front bumper camera and ambient lighting?

    Yeah, another reason to never trust those guys lying on the web, such as Teslascope, claiming they know things before everyone. This is a solid reason that their reputation is going down the drain. They claimed that starting March 1st all Tesla S and X are getting the ambient lighting and Front...

    Switching from BMW X7 to CyberTruck

    I ended up buying the Model S and I am loving it. I still have a pre-order on the CT from last year though but I might just cancel it as I don't see myself ever considering it but I will just keep my order on the line for now anyway.

    Tesla releases New Yoke

    But an OTA is not going to take care of that. New software will still see your car on the older map/configuration. At least in my view...

    The optimal suspension settings

    I have been test various settings after the feedback from all if you. I settled on: 2nd notch to the left for Drive comfort (2nd notch next to Soft), and maxed out handling (var right —> Sport) Wish I tried that since day 1 when I got the car… It made a huge difference that I really like the...

    Switching from BMW X7 to CyberTruck

    I had a 7 series, 5 series and most recently the X7 and new Mbenz S-class. I got the Model S and no doubt the best among all of them.. no regret whatsoever. I am the original OP of this thread by the way. Despite that some people have warned me, I pulled the triggered, and I love my S. What...

    Tesla releases New Yoke

    It’s interesting that the service guy tried to make things harder … Usually the service request is already pre-approved and the service guy should just follow the order/request, unless your service paperwork didn’t show the estimated cost as $0 and already approved under warranty…

    We have officially hit bottom!

    That’s exactly what I expected that the 22s refresh with 15K miles would go for… 55-56K easy trade with Tesla… and then low 60s if sold privately .. and if course close to that too if u buy it from a dealer. …
  16. CTruck_BMW

    We have officially hit bottom!

    it has >20K miles and the oldest refresh you can get, and next buyer will be the 3rd owner. That leaves enough room for lower 2021s with lower mileage and 1-owner to fill the gap in the 50K USD, followed by 2022s with lower mileage, and then even more room for the true refresh-refresh mid...

    Nappa leather Yoke by RPMTesla

    Has anyone tried the Nappa-Leather wrapped wheel or yoke by RPMTesla? I am tempted but would like a confirmation on quality, feel/texture, and heating. Do I need software coding after switching to the Yoke? Finally, is there a way to tell the BEZEL REVISION F OR G OR H, etc without removing...

    The optimal suspension settings

    Don’t you feel that full soft makes it too bouncy?

    The optimal suspension settings

    Coming from BMWs and Benz, I have to admit that I first struggled with the rough and too firm feeling of the suspension. It just didn’t like how it handled rough roads. After a good amount of time trying multiple settings day after another (comfort, auto, sport, advanced, etc), I settled on...

    How long did it take you to get used to the stalk-less turn signals?

    It took me about 3 months… and now I love them and I really really really hate regular stalks in my other cars. The buttons are just easier and require less muscle move or effort.

    Any indications that front bumper camera can be retrofitted later on HW4 2023 MS?

    MS Plaid vs Taycan vs EQS

    FYI - the OP (me) test drove or rented each one of these 3 options. I bought a new S and it’s already in my garage. Best car I owned ever, despite being the cheapest I owned in the last 12 years, almost 30-50% cost of all other daily drives I had (S-class, X7, 7-series), still better. I hated...

    Is the glass distortion still a problem for ‘24 model

    Don’t be a piece of u know what. Smart boy acting as u know more about someone’s car than the owner himself. That’s as dumb as anyone would ever get.

    Is the glass distortion still a problem for ‘24 model

    That’s right, and I agree as I have seen it in many Tesla vehicles (even in some Model 3 ones). But for someone to claim that he knows that every single one on the planet has distortion is just BS. That was my only point.

    Is the glass distortion still a problem for ‘24 model

    You can disagree and show as much ego as you want, but it’s my car, my eyes, and my evaluation seeing it myself. You disagreeing that a car u had never ever seen has glass distortion is non-sense and makes no difference, lol. Am not going to believe that there is distortion only because some...

    2024 Model S vs. Plaid

    it's a disaster for cleaning and I also agree that it looks way too bright. Cream is the nicest and best interior for light colors. Looks really good, especially on Red, or Blue MS.

    Is the glass distortion still a problem for ‘24 model

    There's no need to diminish other's ability to know just as much as you do. Unless u believe u r the smartest one in the room, then good for u but u are wrong. I have sat in many many other Tesla, tesla drove a ton of them before I got mine, and I always rent Tesla when traveling for work. I...

    How "rattly" is the Plaid?

    I haven't owned the Mode X, but I have a Model S coming from MBenz S-class and other high end BMWs. I can tell you that the Model S is equally silent as far as rattles to my Benz. It's certainly better than BMWs in that aspect. I don't hear a single pop, squeak or rattle. I test drove...

    First Drive with a Steering Wheel on a Model S

    I have the wheel. If Tesla will ever fix the Yoke (which currently feels a bit cheaper material wise), and if a new yoke design comes up, I will certainly consider paying Tesla $1000 to install the Yoke and give it a try. How much does it cost now btw do replace the wheel with a yoke? curious.

    2024 Model S vs. Plaid

    I drive my S in the “Sport” mode and the “insane” mode is way too much for my liking that I would never ever use. In that case, I knew that the Plaid was going to be a waste of money for me because “Sport” medium speed setting is already the limit for what i need in the Model S. I never ever...

    Thinking to get upgraded wheels on my S. Will consider 20" wheels only. Interested to see what you all have. Please mention the wheels brand/type and size.

    Top Speed reduced to 130 for LR

    No, they can't do that... the top speed limit (I think) is written within the car spec's. I think 2021-2023 model years will continue to have the full original speed limit. It's possible that the new lower speed limit is related to new tires limit.... I would gladly use those tires next time I...

    Is the Model S worth it over the Highland M3?

    Man, seems like you've never driven a Model S right after test driving a Model 3. Driver screen, the wider body, the interior space and rear trunk space, as well as premium ownership and driving experience alone make the Model S worth way more than Model 3. I don't see how anyone would...

    Tesla switches to high-pressure sales tactics?

    My experience with the (no-pressure) sale was when were were living in NC years ago. We moved to a different state now, so my guess is that all this might depend on the location obviously….

    Tesla switches to high-pressure sales tactics?

    One thing I really liked about Tesla (long time ago before I even got my 1st Tesla) was the smooth and easy experience with the “sales locations/shop”, even after a test-drive. No question asked, given the keys, test drive, handed keys back, out. I drive a Model S now. Recently I wanted my...

    Tesla price increase round just started

    Yeah show me those “THOUSANDS” of posts to prove u r not lying. Stop spreading misinformation. U think i care about what u think of my reputation measured against my # of posts? I could care less about wt u think or even others lol. Waiting for the THOUSANDS of posts that u had imagined

    Tesla price increase round just started

    So u listed all the alternatives with a “but” in the end of ur sentence. Well that means u failed answering. Even the i5 isn’t in the same price as Model S unless poorly spec’ed which is stupid then and has nothing better than MS; yet that poor range? Give me a break lol

    Tesla price increase round just started

    Name a single EV that is priced 75K and better than Model S. Nobody said its luxury but it’s the best car for its current price. Those who disagree and can’t find a better alternative for “same” price range are just here to make noise

    Tesla price increase round just started

    If you’ve already switched to another brand, why are u still here trash talking Tesla? Just enjoy whatever car u got… there is still a lot of fans here that still believe this car is better than any other car they owned…. I’ve owned and still own several 100K cars, from S-class, X7, X5...

    Tesla price increase round just started

    Wrong answer… mine has non of that issues as I run 19” wheels on it. As for leather, u r just one data point out of so many old and newer Tesla cars with so many miles in the used car markets that are showing zero leather issues. Your 18 months old car with poor leather is an indication of an...

    Super update with new features!! 2023.44.25

    2023 Model S Air Suspension

    It's standard. As for height setting on P, I don't think so, but you can setup the car to always go to "high" when you arrive your garage or parking location at work and other common areas... Also, you can setup and activate the "Exit" profile and save the seats settings to the highest...

    Super update with new features!! 2023.44.25

    I GOT THE UPDATE TODAY... Rear screens Bluetooth/headphones worked exactly as promised. I was able to connect 2 speakers just fine, and I even tried one headphone and the other as a Bluetooth speaker that I handed next to the child's seat instead of using a headphone. Both Bluetooth devices...
