Holy smoke, this is so much better now. Literally works perfectly 100% of the time now, was probably like 80% before.

lol OK bud...we'll circle back to this post in a couple years... 😁

Exactly. Just invest that $8k in something good like bitcoin instead. If you actually get any dings or paint chips and they bother you enough, just pay to get them fixed. Saves a ton of money in the long run. And honestly, when you go to resell or trade-in your car, the resale value of having...

Trade in value being highest at Tesla seems crazy! All 3 Teslas I've sold to date (including just 2 months ago) had significantly higher offers by both local dealerships and GiveMeTheVIN, Carvana, etc than what Tesla itself offered.

This isn't new. (Though that "eligible for..." placement is.)

What's changed other than the center horn and more durable material?

I've owned 5 Teslas, and have never had the front plate mounted (I'm in NJ where they're "required"). Never had any issue, even the one time I was pulled over for speeding and given a warning. Honestly, the front license plate looks absolutely butt ugly on the S.

I like the “stealthier” look of the dark roof. 🤷‍♂️

The mid 2022’s have those.

Would recommend avoiding Plaids before the mid-2022 update.

Man, can't tell you how relieved I am that I cancelled my 2024 S LR reservation and bought a 2022 S Plaid last month. What a ****show it is this year. 😕

Hmm. Wonder if there was some change to the 2024 models? I had a 2022 Model Y before this and steering definitely wasn’t nearly as tight.

Good morning. I recently got a new Model Y LR and the steering feels much tighter (i.e. physically harder to turn) than any of the 5 Teslas I've owned. Like my 2022 S in Sport Steering Mode is easier to turn than the 2024 Y is in Comfort mode. Could this be indicative of a defect with the Y's...

The old parts are still available. I had a yoke replaced with a wheel 3 days ago (for free in warranty). They only had the old style wheel without the center horn but I didn't wanna push it by waiting and possibly needing to pay the $700.

Weird. Nothing shows for me. You have a 2024 VIN? Long Range?

Purchased a 2024 Model Y LR a couple weeks ago and Acceleration Boost is not showing as available in the Upgrades section of the car or app. Does Tesla no longer offer this?

That stinks. I'd happily pay like $300 to upgrade these 1 megapixel cameras. :-/

I’m gonna ask the service center next week. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with my cameras, they just look like butt compared to latest ones.

Man, this thread sucks.

I know a hardware 4 retrofit is unavailable, but has anyone paid the service center just to upgrade the cameras? The noise and pixelation on the blind spot and backup feeds are piss poor.

Nope.

My counter to this though is that you need to consider what the price history has been for the S. The top spec S was in the $90Ks for a couple years. Tesla bumped up the price so much during the post covid bubble because they could. High demand, not able to make enough supply. Anyone who paid...

Geez, man. You got rekt.

Hmm, maybe I’ll just set up a service appointment for the peace of mind.

Do you have these “T0 Tesla SoundComfort Tech” versions by any chance? (https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Goodyear&tireModel=Eagle+Sport+All-Season&partnum=635VR1SASSCTXL) If so, how are you finding the ride quality?

I’ve read most of this thread and I apologize if it’s been stated already, but does anyone know the estimated cost of Tesla service swapping the ceramic breaks back to stock? It’s very obvious to me that getting the brakes would not add $15k to the resale value, but if I were to get another...

Tbh, I don’t think there’s anything mechanically wrong either. I’m just getting the feeling that the software adjustments for the suspension aren’t working for some reason. I‘m coming from a 2022 Model Y with 20” Inductions, so I’m used to rougher suspension.

Yeah, to be honest, I got this car for $10k less than anything comparable I’ve seen over the past 3 months, so my lack of pickiness was likely just realizing this was such a “good deal.” It’s a great car, and maybe it just needs to be checked out by Tesla to get the suspension reset or...

I did, yeah. But it was a 10 minute ride and I was chatting with the guy the whole time. Different experience now that I've gotten a few hours of driving it on my normal routes and everything.

Just picked up a late 2022 Plaid and love everything about it except the suspension. Unusually bouncy, no matter what mode I'm in. Brand new OEM spec all season tires on it. Tesla SC put them at 45 psi, I reduced to 40 hoping that would help. I can't really tell any differences between the...

n2mb_racing, I'd encourage you to target a post mid-2022 model is possible. The better headlights, fixed charging door, 16GB MCU (for Steam), tiltable front screen, and higher res rear screen are all worthwhile additions. And, based on my research over the past few months, usually not much...

Been unregistered on this site until today, actively in this thread daily for 4 months now. Ordered a Model S in October after my local store rep said that timing would line up with a 2024 VIN. As we all know, that didn't happen. Last week, I stumbled upon a great local deal on a late 2022 Plaid...
