Are the unpainted bumper covers also restricted item?

5N is no joke, that thing is a beast. I'm glad we have more competition in the performance EV space.

How strange... they gave me a new one for free. If you are under warranty they should have covered it (I would think)...

Almost looks like hard water spots. Automotive water spot remover or a polish maybe? Clay bar?

... and then they drop the price a few months later.

Wonder if 2025 model year starts in ~October like previous years.

If your car is already on version 2024.8.x , you have to wait a bit longer

Currently parts catalog lists it as Restricted while a 2023 seat is Unrestricted. Not sure whats up with that.

Rails look the same. Wiring harness looks similar. Is it just this one connector that you disconnect to remove a seat? 2023 Seat Harness: Parts Catalog 2024 Seat Harness: Parts Catalog

What model instrument cluster? All the clusters I've seen plug into the connector on the rear of the center console, underneath the rear vents.

Geez, ask for a new steering wheel

2024.8.x branch getting FSD trial soon:

Did you ride with a tech so they could hear it? If you already did that, go to a different service center.

EAP should be free :)

Now that performance S/X have unique sport seats similar to M3L - I wonder when they are getting more aggressive front and rear "performance" bumper covers.

park car in the sun for a few days

This page shows which builds have FSD V12: TeslaFi.com Firmware Tracker Note the red FSD version beside the build

I think this is testing the tires more than brakes (?). All models can lock the tires up.

What version is your car? I think you have to be on the 2024.3.x branch. I read if you are already 2024.8.x, then have to wait for some upcoming update that will offer trial.

Sounds more like faulty tires than the way the cars were shipped.

Yes

The "real" Ludicrous (Plaid-lite?) must be coming later

Looks great. How much did it cost? Part number 2013443-S0-D? On 2024 the rear bumper reflectors are lights. What did you do for that? In the photos it looks like they might be missing (?).

What version did you upgrade to that triggered FSD trial?

Aaaand everyone is pissed 😅 Hopefully we get the official reveal later today or tomorrow...

Make sure they do the rear glass in one piece. Some shops don't have the large tint sheets to accommodate this.

When is the last time you clayed front of vehicle and what wax are you using? It should make bugs come off much easier. I would recommend a synthetic sealant (Meguiars NXT, etc) over a traditional carnauba wax.

Everyone's definition of FUN is different, and it depends what vehicles you've driven. I have more fun in M3P than Model S Plaid. Model S is too big and not as nimble. Other people would disagree. We all have our personal preferences, and that is perfectly OK.

Use more muscle

Do a test drive to experience it first hand.

The material might be worn thin and the color underneath is showing through? For color transfer removal I've had the best success with Gyeon LeatherCleaner Strong and a soft bristle brush to agitate. No matter which product you use, a brush is definitely key.

Looks like jean color transfer and wear. Depending on weight of previous owner, it can exacerbate the issue.

Coworker mentioned this to me the other day.

12v lead acid batteries can test fine one day and stop holding a charge the next. If it's more than 3 years old, replace it.

Calipers and rotor size looks like same as before to me.

From my experience HomeLink is more reliable than MyQ

After driving Cybertruck and 2024 Model 3 - the cybertruck stalkless implementation with steer by wire is so much better than current 3/S/X.

Sport wheels or aero? Aero hub caps maybe

Everyone that says they want to avoid insurance doesn't realize how much body work costs in 2024. This could be a costly repair depending on quarter panel damage.

I was hoping for more agressive bumper covers - seems like they are basically the same. Just has lip and larger rear spoiler.

Looks real to me

We know it's coming with unique seats as seen in spy photos. Front and rear bumper covers are different as well, but we haven't seen them uncovered yet. Nice to see them differentiating performance models more - these changes will come to S/X/Y performance models eventually.

maybe someone is sabotaging your tires :oops: Is the city cutting you a check? 12 tires plus installation is like $4.5k?
