Here’s my recommendation based on your comments: Buy the S - always wondering if I should have just gone with the X Buy the X LR - man, I knew I should have gone with the Plaid Buy the X Plaid - I’m on top of the world! Get what stirs your soul - no sense spending the money on something that...

I have 19s on my Plaid and it is super smooth and quiet. I don’t drive for efficiency so I have no idea how much it helps with range. 😜

The LR is super fast - until you try the Plaid. Then the LR is not so fast any more. :)

Look for the nearest freeway on ramp and floor it. Enjoy!

Love that UR and the seats - congrats!

Would be cool - for some reason I thought maybe they were installing the Mercedes chargers off to the side.

This is interesting - it seems attention to detail and fitment is not their strong suit. On a totally separate note, my wife ordered something from them for my birthday (4/22) at the beginning of April - still no sign of it and no updates, other than us knowing it is perhaps in the US somewhere.

You can’t answer if you are a pilot, as you take this thread completely off topic?

Curious about your user name - are you an actual pilot? Or does that just mean Tesla driver? Honest question…..

I assume you meant to say your car “veers off” into the trees, not wears off. Obviously false, since you didn’t crash into trees on every drive. Also, unless you have video evidence, I don’t think your car literally attempted to impale you on a median - I guess you don’t know what impale...

All demonstratively false.

Curious why you hang out in the TESLA S forums then - if it was such a traumatic experience, just move on. Don’t think anyone who disagrees really cares about Jag depreciation - or reliability, which they are certainly known for. 🙄

Just ignore it. No reason to get upset by every little thing that you don’t like.

I thought it was funny - keep it up! Caveat - I’m an old guy, so maybe your wife is right.

22 MSP and I got it - in fact, it expired today.

Same here - it’s the main reason I bought my Plaid instead of the Lucid Air GT I had on order. Honestly the Lucid is a much nicer, better built, more luxurious car, but the charging network sucks with EA. I am super happy with my Plaid but could easily see myself going to Lucid next if they...

The OEM carmakers will have to step up - Rivian and MB have started, but Ford isn’t going to get a free pass. EA sucks because it was a legal settlement with VW and they basically had no EVs then anyway. How will anyone sell any new EVs if everyone has to rely on Tesla to do all the heavy...

I guess everyone assumes the entire charging network stays static while the number of users from other makes goes way up. I see it as forcing all the other OEMs to step up and contribute to building out the network and not just banking on their buyers using the existing SC network. Tesla has...

I had a forced disconnect when I first started the trial because I didn’t realize the slowly flashing lights on the center display meant I needed to do something - I didn’t see the notice to apply pressure to the yoke since I was looking straight ahead paying attention to the road so it...

Def an old toll tag - that would drive me crazy being off center and crooked. 😜

Not sure you want to be a beta tester for something that can mess with electrical systems. I think this has to be tested and proven before sending out into the world.

The brakes on the Plaid are totally fine for street driving. I can probably count on one hand the number of times I’ve even used the brakes anyway. I think the 3 is a very good car but the S to me is a legitimate step up - now, is it worth the $$? Only you can answer that - to me it was, and...

Gotcha - I’m easily confused. 😜

What point are you even arguing? Most EVs sold for MSRP, which went up, down and sideways from the manufacturer. I guess you think there is zero correlation between new pricing and used pricing?

Taycan and Lucid are getting absolutely hammered on resale. Lucid definitely lowered prices on new ones to move inventory.

It’s “braking”, not “breaking”. Man, that drives me crazy.

I drive by the gigafactory outside of Austin every week - there are literally hundreds of them lined up across the highway - not sure if they are waiting on the fix or ready to ship out.

lol - that Jag was around $100k when new so it lost 55% of it’s value and there is zero chance it doesn’t continue to depreciate. New cars depreciate - the old saying that you lose 30% when you drive off the lot seems accurate with the Tesla too. Not sure why people think they should be exempt...

Well, I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night and I think FSD performs as I would expect it to at this point.

Looks awesome! Is that a new plate mount?

$2-3k for that? I would be surprised if it costs that much - even the Lexus dealership runs specials for fixes just like this for $300-400. It probably costs less to replace the whole bumper than $3k. Now maybe no one wants to do it since it’s a small job, but I’m betting the under on that...

Discount Tire/American Tire - same company. Can’t go wrong.

I got a notice in the app and an email to notify me of the trial. I like it and will probably subscribe at the lower price since I do a lot of long highway drives.

Stinks but it’s hidden behind your plate when it is on, right?

Hi Teslaunch - thanks for sending the sunshade, but I have the same issue as the other winner in that the shades are about 3-4” short of reaching both sides of the glass - there would either be a big gap on one side or a 2” gap on each side - same for front and rear shades. I did not mess with...

Those look so good - has anyone seen them live in the other colors yet? What’s the contrast color on the black ones?

Replaced a headlight on my wife’s QX80 when she kissed a pole getting a slushy at Sonic - $2500. Priced a Cayenne headlight - $3k. Too bad my insurance doesn’t cover those under glass coverage but I do have a zero deductible for the windshield/window glass.

Some awfully nice cars on here - love to see these pics.

Pay 3x as much and barely go faster. I’m happy with the Plaid, even if the Sapphire is one bad mofo.

I agree that an FSD subscription is better unless they make free transfers to a new Tesla permanent, but all the current break even calculations will end up being wrong. No way they don’t jack the price back up on the monthly subscription once they can. It will still make sense since the break...

Believe it or not, I read the OP’s post and they referenced their cost while on a road trip through TEXAS. But thanks for the snark.

I just received mine but have not installed it yet - I have a 22 S so wonder if I’ll have the same issue. Will try this weekend.

I “think” if you press your finger and hold it in the general area below the phone chargers where D should be the gear letters will illuminate. Otherwise it’s when the main screen goes out.

Hmmm…I pay .24 to .34 at every Supercharger I’ve used anywhere in Texas. I think I that’s pretty cheap and I end up spending 1/3 or so as much as I would on gas.

I think it’s cool that you guys know and understand all this. I’m too dumb to worry about it so I charge my Plaid late overnight to the level I’ll need when I leave in the morning, and I do a lot of long road trips across Texas so it is to 100% at least twice a month. I also supercharge to 80%...

I don’t regret getting the Plaid for one second. Of course the S LR would have been enough, but I always want more than enough. I try to knock out as many of the seven deadly sins as I can. 😜

I noticed yesterday on my way to 2 different SCs that it started to precondition within the last few miles. I guess I don’t need to worry about it since I’m getting blazing fast charging.

Hi all - question on preconditioning when navigating to a supercharger. I’ve noticed that my S doesn’t always precondition, or sometimes it starts 1 mile from the charger. It has preconditioned as normal 20-30 miles from the charger, but what is the determining factor? I’ve driven 3 hours on...

Looks great!

Do you always have to pay then wait for reimbursement? Can’t Xcare pay Tesla direct?
