    Any "hidden" upgrades of MS/X in between 2022 - 2024 ?

    Well updates compared to 2021 are obvious. I was more interested in changes from just before HW3 to HW4 and yes if it is possible to quantify not so obvious changes. There are zero to none info about anything but the lists earlier mentioned. Also for well known updates info is hard to find as...

    Comparing new Model 3 Performance seat base front

    So I am tall. Model 3 has always had good enough seats but does not give the same degree of leg support on the base front edge as the seats in Model S/X There is no Model 3 Performance around here for me to check out so trying to get help here instead. Question is does the new performance seat...

    A Brake Weight comparison - trying to optimize the weight savings

    Thanks for your patience. I believe i finally get it :) Remains to further research tesla and UP rotors and caliber weights as they both are a bit sloppy with specs

    A Brake Weight comparison - trying to optimize the weight savings

    Found this thread on a Porsche forum. Basically stating no one knows of any kind of difference in feeling during winter + street use comparing carbon ceramics and steel https://rennlist.com/forums/panamera/1247115-carbon-ceramic-brakes-any-good-in-the-winter-2.html Then comes my next question...

    A Brake Weight comparison - trying to optimize the weight savings

    Yes ofcourse the feeling is subjective, but nothing is impossible, im sure it must be possible to describe it somehow. But also interested in if someone has measured the weight of the UP stuff

    Anyone that could share 1. Actual weight of UP stuff 2. Cold carbon rotors feeling?

    A Brake Weight comparison - trying to optimize the weight savings

    You can call me fanatic but, I am not stopping at only saving weight by rim change :cool: .........I call it a hobby, others luna...something Your answer was really useful, I believe I got a sense of something here. The compound in the pads is the key! Still questions pop up, especially...

    A Brake Weight comparison - trying to optimize the weight savings

    Thank you Assuming cold CCBs. Would you agree to describe it like that "unmodulated" feeling that I found on the internet? I am trying to understand this change of feeling. If it is just a matter of applying more force on the pedal then it is fine with me. Likewise, if the major feeling...

    Feature request: User access level for phone key by user type child/spouse/friend

    Strange opinion! Every computer system on the planet offer different access levels. Including the linux version that runs in Teslas. You, me dont have Admin on your own Tesla for understandable reasons. What i suggest is that Tesla spends an afternoon in implementing this. It is a thing so...

    A Brake Weight comparison - trying to optimize the weight savings

    Yes for sure. Remember this does not include wheels as that is another thread and more complicated. I can agree that any kind of optimization might be strange seen from a "sane" point of view. But I happen to take great interest in engineering perfection. I believe it complicates things to...

    A Brake Weight comparison - trying to optimize the weight savings

    Thanks! girodisc claims that they do not offer very much weigh reduction but much better cooling. Most probably because of the wanes my last half 2023 has the "updated" pads but I guess there are much better out there, agreed. What about dust with this GLOC R12 compound? brake pedal travel...

    A Brake Weight comparison - trying to optimize the weight savings

    While waiting for delivery of my 2023 Plaid showroom car (got delayed because Tesla are sooo confused after the layoffs mildly put) , I spend my time with such things as trying to make up a plan on how to save some weight on the Wheels. I dont track as I unfortunately have very far to any track...

    2024 Shipping Movements

    I live in Spain so luckily not affected (feel sorry for you guys though) Anyway I believe possibly we might see some delays in what I believe are regular interval of 1.5 months deliveries of MS/X to Europe. But I might have misinterpreted it all and it might not be so that it is 1.5 months...

    what was the indicated battery range on a new plaid - trying to understand battery wear without ODB access

    So in previous post I concluded one needs to charge to 100% to avoid this secret linear formula that Tesla is using found by Car and Driver. What if we had this secret formula that allegedly is dependent on the degradation (which we are trying to find). Then it would be ridiculously easy to...

    what was the indicated battery range on a new plaid - trying to understand battery wear without ODB access

    In 2021 it seems like the rated ranges was 348miles and 402miles for MS Plaid with respective wheels. I believe but I am not sure it hasnt changed until year model 2024 (because of new rules not hardware changes) At least according to Car&Driver...

    2024 Shipping Movements

    Maybe the baltimore bridge is affecting things as late as now. Last batch of MS/X arrived europe in the end of march as i remember it. Meaning there should have been a batch a week ago. Or am I wrong in my predictions?

    Anyone: comparison of 2023 high-visibility glass roof?

    I recently checked a MS from Dec 2022 , unfortunately I didn't have a newer on the side as a reference. But my gut feeling would say a newer roof is appearing to be at least twice as transparent. Still, it would be nice with a more scientific comparison. Especially more info on the claimed...

    Might not be included after all. At least I cannot find it in 2024.14.3 as they claim. Its a pity, despite it all being far from a total solution it is at least a small step in the right direction

    Any "hidden" upgrades of MS/X in between 2022 - 2024 ?

    The reason for mapping this is that im not so impressed by the updates. Tesla used to have a higher rate in their progress. Right now it doesnt feel like a December 2023 car is very much better than a December 2022 car. However the general consensus seem to be that the build quality has...

    what was the indicated battery range on a new plaid - trying to understand battery wear without ODB access

    nice! that is a better explanation than ever , but unfortunately Im used to the old energy menu (as the one on the instruction) and I didnt have time to figure it all out. Very helpful thanks! Just hoping anyone else with a MS Plaid can share their new range as well? or "old" range is...

    what was the indicated battery range on a new plaid - trying to understand battery wear without ODB access

    sorry forgot to mention it has the 21 inch standard wheels Googling it seems like the EPA rate in 2022 was 348 miles https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a44754199/tesla-range-display-estimate-tested/ so that would mean a 6.2% reduction in the worst case (worst as if the car would actually...

    what was the indicated battery range on a new plaid - trying to understand battery wear without ODB access

    Im thinking of buying a Plaid and I brought my ODB adapter for my old MS but it didnt fit :-( Now trying to approximate. Previously you could multiply the right with the left numbers on the battery range and get something but now its some new menu that I dont recognize. Anyway we charged to...

    Any "hidden" upgrades of MS/X in between 2022 - 2024 ?

    yes thanks, but I was trying to find out if someone have made some "archeology work" by diving into the service manual and found that they changed something less noticeable or maybe if someone knows more about the differences. Like for example the glass roof which is virtually impossible to...

    Work in progress: stalks on 2021 Model S. (and optional round-y wheel)

    I am very appreciative of your sharing, not meaning you should make a full sized test. Just trying to understand what this non-perfect feeling is originating from. I was more looking to know if you compared with older MS or with M3/Y now I know you (wife) have a M3. Also you say the hardware...

    Any "hidden" upgrades of MS/X in between 2022 - 2024 ?

    Hi Does anyone know of any less known hardware changes of the model S/X during this period?

    Work in progress: stalks on 2021 Model S. (and optional round-y wheel)

    Searching for "OBD2 splitter" turns up plenty of options, so that is reassuring. But question remains what kind port it is, OBD2 or not ?

    Tesla unable to align steering wheel - Looking for advise

    My 2018 MS had the same problem. The 4th time on the third service center they finally aaaalmost fixed it. They claimed their alignment referall machine had been missalinged . But it doesn't explain why other service centers had the same problem. If I would get the same problem again on my new...

    Anyone: comparison of 2023 high-visibility glass roof?

    The internet (and the forum) seems to be completely empty of any kind of comparison or even an in person review of the 2023 high visibility glass roof It is claimed to be more lightweight (which I like) but no information whatsoever about the specific data. (makes me suspect the difference is...

    Work in progress: stalks on 2021 Model S. (and optional round-y wheel)

    Im really excited about all this but when you say it is insensitive it raises a lot of questions. Could you please try and describe the insensitiveness as good as possible? I guess it is OEM M3 stalks that they somehow got hold of from the producer , or would you say they are more like "home...

    So I'm tired of having to use the key card when I borrow my dads car. Its a security risk as I tend to always forget to lock it as I have had teslas for many years and totally accustomed to only walk away from the car. Also it would be practical to let my son stay in the car during shopping...

    2024 Shipping Movements

    Any ship en route right now ? That is the big question. My gut feeling says that MS+MX arrive in 1.5 months interval. Meaning next is bound to arrive just about next week. In turn indicating it is very probable that either this shipment left baltimore just before the bridge tragedy OR there will...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Sorry i got really curious as I am looking out for a cheap deal on a Plaid. I know that the difference from my 2016-dec to my next 2018-dec MS was HUGE and I cannot really describe it as anything else but a totally different car. But as i am now looking at and trying to compare a brand new MS...

    Highland does not have HEPA filter (or does it?)

    Differences Between Mid-2018 Model S and Mid-2023 Model S

    Very relevant post! I recently reluctantly sold my second MS. It was a 100D manufactured in sept 2018. Which means it had the premium pack but still had the roof hatch. I had it upgraded with HW3. In short it was a rare gem and it was truly a bit stupid to let it go. The reason i did was some...
