You can analyze the details any way you want. and you can choose to actually believe what the E-guy says (or not). The fact is Elon's close buddy, David Sachs, was a major donor to the Trump campaign. and now is a supporter of DeSantis. David helped the two of them get together. And dont...

the latest on Tesla's reputation. Not good. Tesla plummets 50 spots in a survey of the US's most reputable brands. It's now No. 62 — 30 places below Ford.

It doesnt matter what your politics are. The fact is the E-guy has taken a bold political stance and that will only hurt sales and the share price. Has the CEO of Ford, GM, BMW etc said such things? No. E has said multiple times he will say what he wants even if it hurts the stock price...

But, did you see his tweet that was something like: "I am not going to change what i say just to help the TSLA stock price."? The implication is that he considers his own loud mouth as more important than the future of Tesla the company. But, on the bright side we saw at the Investor Day...

Tonite on youtube a PBS Newshour story came up. Talking about EVs in general and why they arent practical yet, and various enviro concerns. I couldnt believe how many things they got wrong, and how much they emphasized negatives without mentioning hardly any positives of driving elecftic...

Here is the latest from Dan Ives on CNBC: Tesla could see brand deterioration due to Elon Musk, says Wedbush's Dan Ives

Let's hope the Tesla Board of Directors wakes up and does their job. Time for Tesla Inc to part ways with Elon. as many have said above, Elon has plenty of other projects to keep in busy. And, there are plenty of great folks working at Tesla that can carry the torch. Since Elon's statements...

Yep, the twitter CEO is the problem. In addition to his bad management he stirs up strong political ideas (dare I say Fascist) and hangs out with Jared Kushner and Arab shieks. Of course, the Tesla Board is asleep at the wheel, and that has caused the US Senate Fiduciary committee to send...

Please reference which sales on which continent for which months. Here in the US Elon's reputation has sunk plenty just the last couple months. His reprehensible tweets about Pelosi's husband and Dr Fauci have alienated many folks. Not to mention many other statements and actions. I dont...

There comes a time in the evolution of every new high tech company for early leadership to move on to more new ventures. This allows a newer kind of leadership to take the helm. The kind of folks with experience leading large mature companies. I have seen this repeatedly up close and...

Like Tdriver said, there are a few long threads about this already. Maybe you have read one or two by now. My 22 MSLR suspension also feels rougher than any other car i have been in. And the settings on the screen dont seem to make any difference at all. Others in my situation have taken...

I would add that there could have been two or more changes. Who knows? Perhaps one around the end of 2020 and another just a couple months ago? Sure would like to hear from Tesla about this!

Ryan Shaw says it is a real change.

You might not need either. Today, Elon tweeted that the suspension has been improved. Ryan Shaw reported on this in his youtube video today.

Yes, i see the main text says the usb-c ports can handle data. there is a footnote that says 'come vehicles manufactured after Nov 2021" may have usb-c ports that dont support data. Pretty vague. Not sure if they will restore the data function or not. I think switching to the simpler usb-c...

DD: I am 71 and do not race my cars. altho i sometimes like to accelerate real fast getting on the freeway! IF I understand you correctly you are saying the suspension in your M3 handled the slightly bumpy road better than the MY. Is that right? Gee, I owned an MY and M3 at the same time...

Well, I think i am going the other way. I have an MYP on order and plan to trade in my 2022 Refresh S. I also have a long range MY. I DONT find the ride in the S much smoother, if at all. The adaptive suspension stuff is real subtle. There is a current MS Forum thread about this. And a...

Thanks a bunch pvdoug and Maaz. I have been anxiously awaiting your posts, since I consider my Dec 2021 build MSLR with 19s to have too harsh a ride. Especially when i choose 'Comfort'. I was anticipating this car being smoother riding than my prior Teslas that didnt have adaptive...

Hi folks. I am a Tesla driver living in California. Delivery is easy peazy here, but from what i can tell folks living in Maine may have to drive to Peabody Mass to pick up there cars. I am talking to a friend in Rockport about her purchasing a Model 3 and i want to make it as convenient as...

Hi folks. I am a long time Tesla driver living in California, but trying to talk a friend into buying a Model 3. She lives in Rockport Maine. Any advice on ordering and delivery? It looks like folks may have to drive to Peabody Mass to pick up their car? Or is there a better delivery. She...

Yep, no difference for me either.

Hi Folks. Just now i installed software update 2022.20.8. and it says it improves adaptive suspension by raising height of car over rough road sections. It says you need to set suspension to Comfort or Advanced for this to take effect. Have any of you driven your car after getting this...

OK folks. Just did my standard test drive again. local streets with speed limit around 30 and good and bumpy. Setting default to 'Low" didnt help much, if at all. I made sure to keep it in Low. I drove the same section in Comfort and then in Sport, and didnt notice a difference...

Thanks, that was interesting. I noticed he had default ride height set to 'Low". That is something i have not tried, because of my concern the nose of the car might bottom out. But, i will try that on my next test drive. I recall reading somewhere that settings such as 'High' and "Very High'...

Thanks for the idea. But, i have 19s at the recommended tire pressure. and i cant tell difference between Comfort and Sport.

OK - I think i understand what you are saying. I guess I will go back to just trying the Comfort setting or the Sport setting to see if i can tell a difference now. and then do a reset of the car and try again. IF that doesnt solve things i will just sell the car. Not worth any more of...

please ignore this reply. i started to reply, but changed my mind and wanted to cancel. but couldnt find a way to cancel before posting. So, i am posting this to effectively cancel it! sorry.

My car is an MS Long Range, built Dec 2021 and delivered Jan 3, 2022. I had replied a few months ago in one of your other threads about this. I had said that i cant tell the difference between sport and comfort and the ride is too harsh. (like you). OK - so i went to the garage to get the...

My MS long range has the issue. It was delivered the first week of January and the build date is Dec 2021. I am still doing some more test drives to sort things out better and will report back when i think i have something to add. So far, it seems keeping suspension on "Auto" works best, but...

OK, but i had to ask Google what an SSD was! Can you recommend a particular SSD to buy? And, all my music is MP3.

Thanks, but i tried unplugging it and replugging and a couple car reboots. none of that helped. I did get it going by simply disconnecting that 4 way usb port i was using and plugging my usb into the glovebox port. It now works, but of course, the sentry usb is no longer plugged in...

Hi All, I have not been on the forum for a few weeks due to various things in 'life' taking tons of time. Now back. I did try using Sport setting and it does seem a bit better than Comfort to me - as far as absorbing bumps and stuff. But not by alot. I'll next look into Steve's recent video.

Thanks for your replies folks. But, I sold that standard range MY a few months ago (for lots more than i paid for it!) and replaced it with a long range AWD Model Y. So, this thread isnt relevant to me any more. thanks anyway.

Hi All. I just discovered this thread today. I took delivery March 20 and the next day was pissed the the usual usb port in the center console was no longer there. I went back to the delivery center and they were totally clueless about it. I somehow learned about using the one in the...

Thanks Steve - for all your comments and your excellent video. Over the next few days as I drive my 2022 MSLR I will take a look at all the settings shown on the screen when in Comfort mode and again in Sport Mode, and of course, see if i can tell the difference. I'll report back once i have...

I took delivery of my 2022 MSLR in January. Have used the app plenty for preheating and i always tap the little yoke symbol on my iphone to turn on yoke heating. Hadnt used the car for a week, and today when i tap the yoke synbol some new words show up above it for the first time "HEAT COOL"...

nope.

Thanks everyone for your replies. I was overwhelmed by the number of replies i got so wasnt able to respond to all of them. The car is now sold. Hope you all find a good deal on another Model Y!

Yep, still available. I see your DM etc. will reply

Hi: I recently took delivery of a 2022 Blue MY long range to replace my standard range. The standard range is in great condition and under 4k miles. Asking $46K firm. I am in touch already with two potential buyers but neither completed yet. Just email me for an update. Doug -...

You both make good points. In my last post i didnt mean to imply that i had rejected the USB hub approach, just that i wanted to understand the other approach better before deciding what to to do. While installing that data transmission module is the best fix, it was a bit too technical...

Thanks everyone for your useful replies. To clarify my post - when i tried to paraphrase the Owners Manual I used the word 'rear' to describe the location of the two USB-c port on the rear wall of the Center Console between the front two seats. And, i know there are two additional USB-c...

Took Delivery March 20, 2022. I planned to move the USB music stick from my older Model Y to this new one. It turns out the new one has USB-c ports in the center console. No problem, i have a wire that connects a USB to a USB-c. Plugged it in, but car didnt recognize. Even after a couple...

I took delivery of a 2022 MSLR on January 2. But have only driven about 350 miles so far. I had been hoping I could set the suspension to a cushy setting that would be more comfortable than my Model Y. No luck! Today i took the car out for a test drive to see if I could tell the...

I am grappling with the finer points of ride height settings on my 2022 MSLR. Sure wish we had more options to simply keep a setting at all speeds or whatever. IF enough of us tell Tesla we want that kind of adjustment, hopefully Tesla will give us those options. I do disagree with Glide...

Gee, that is a challenging problem! Wish i had a good answer. I have spend the last few weeks trying to get Tesla and Cal DMV to speak to one another and no luck so far! If I were you I would just punt. Use trickle charging at home or use one of those 220v outlets like a dryer uses and use...
