    2022 Tesla S refreshed questions...is this normal? Need input from current owners

    I have that on mine too and the other S on the lot had the same issue, some worst than others. I think you're better off using touchup paint the service center said there's nothing they can do and likely to cause even more damage.

    Yoke Steering Wheel Issue

    Is this forreals or some sort of joke? 🤣 I love road biking but no way in hell I'm wrapping that on a 100K car, Tesla should replace it if not I would take it to a shop to get it wrapped in real leather. Thanks for the laugh though!

    Refreshed Model S - rear seat rattle

    I would have tried a different service center, that front triangle window is known to have problems. I had the same issue on mine before but had to wait 3 months for parts. They managed to fix it but then they also managed to scratch up my passenger window. Two months later and still waiting on...

    Have you de-scummed your glass yet?

    No this is not the same, we're not talking about cleaning regular windshield glass. The Model S has a rubber like coating on the glass for whatever reason from factory, if you try to use microfiber towels on it, it will drag/stick making it impossible to clean. Again not all cars delivered has...

    Refreshed Model S - rear seat rattle

    Thanks I was going to try the PVC but seem like I may just have to create another service appt. So the true fix is replacing the actual latch on the seat itself. Good luck with the dashboard sound, from my experience the more things they take apart the higher chance of something else breaking...

    Refreshed Model S - rear seat rattle

    How's the PVC tubing holding up? I've used some left over PPF and it's still working for now but as I put the seat down I definitely see some wear on it.

    Have you de-scummed your glass yet?

    Problem with super clean windshield now is that every time there's drop of dirt you'll want to clean it. 😁

    Have you de-scummed your glass yet?

    I have a cabinet full of detailing equipment and I couldn't locate my plastic cleaner, so it was from laziness 🙃 was going to use PlastiX but the can of Plexus was closer and thought to give it a try since that doesn't require any pads etc. It's simple spray, work it in and wipe off. They use...

    Have you de-scummed your glass yet?

    I'm happy to report that I was able to do the interior glass in only a few minutes, I tried less aggressive method first using a plastic cleaner and to my surprise it took it off. Covered the dash and sprayed it with PLEXUS and worked it in with a microfiber, this is the way I will be cleaning...

    Have you de-scummed your glass yet?

    I've detailed many cars and the Tesla windshield for whatever reason has this rubber like film on it, the regular detailing methods don't work; claying, eraser, invisible glass and even alcohol won't remove it. It requires polishing. I used M205 to polish the windshield and it was so clean...

    Help me choose. 2022 Model S or Model 3 Performance??

    The simple answer is if you can afford it, wait and get the S. The interior alone takes it up to another level. Life is short, get what you want and enjoy it!

    RPM Tesla Updated Carbon Fiber Spoiler

    Not all trunks and spoilers are made exactly the same, this is a known thing with even the OEM spoiler failing at the edges. I have the OEM spoiler not adhering properly on my passenger side. I removed the Tesla OEM tape and used the following; 3M 06384 Automotive Acrylic Plus Attachment Tape...

    Windshield haze and black interior discoloration

    I used a polishing pad with some M205 on the exterior of the front windshield and the glass is super clear, give that a shot.

    Long term PPF?

    PPF on a Tesla isn't any different than on other cars. I've had PPF on the past few cars in the last decade and yes they will eventually yellow, but only noticeable on white cars. I've had Xpel on my last car, 2016 with white paint that was garaged/hand washed/waxed and it yellowed around the 4...

    DIY PPF on 2022 Blue Model S

    How many hours did you spend on all of this? lol was it all worth it in the end or better to pay someone else to do it?

    DIY PPF on 2022 Blue Model S

    Nice job! I DIYed the full hood in one piece (~$250 for Suntek Reaction) and that was doable, the front bumper I left that to the pros. Huge tip is wiping down every section after you squeegee to inspect before it completely tacks down. I have some bubbles but I know they will disappear in a few...

    Accessories for 2021 Refresh Model S Plaid/LR

    Installed the TWRAPS black carbon fiber diffuser wrap today, I had some issues at first installing with the warm weather stretching the vinyl but awesome quick service from TWRAPS was able to resolve my issue. I think it matches the spoiler pretty well. I haven't seen them with the refresh...

    Refresh Model S Tint / PPF / Ceramic Photos & Info

    For tint I would recommend going out to Livermore and seeing Matt at Rocky Mountain Tinting. His shop uses Llumar Stratos which is a better film for heat rejection for a little less price as you listed for IRX. It's a one man shop so he does excellent work with low overhead. For PPF check our...

    Don't forget to ask them to give you the black "Model S" license plate frame. That's supposed to be included.

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    For those picking up at the Fremont factory, they will text you with the parking spot your car is parked out a few hours prior to your appointment. I was in and out pretty fast, any issues note it in the app with service. I was missing the cargo pieces and they brought one out for me so ask them...

    Anyone want to take these off my hands? I'll take $60/wheel or $100 for both! I need to make room in the garage.

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    In the order agreement contract it says you have to pick up within 3 days of the date they put on the DMV, look at your Tesla account documents in your profile, you should be able to call them and reschedule without any issues if it's 2 days. I went through something similar in the past.

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Nothing quick about changing configuration, it might push you back further and depending on when you order the price will change to the most recent pricing.

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    I'm also scheduled for Sunday pickup at 5pm. Already got a place for PPF (Stek) and tint lined up. I'm just getting the front bumper done from OC Customs for $800 and the ceramic tint (Suntek CIR) for $700 from Canlas Tinting. The prices in the bay area has gone up about 20% and the shops I...

    Well I spoke too soon, got NF473 assigned and they scheduled deliver for this Sunday, again giving me less than 48hr notice!

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    I never get a response from my SA, I just wait for the text that says delivery is scheduled for tomorrow. I hope us Bay Area folks get the newer NF472+ builds and not whatever is available on the lot. I specifically had a hold until 4/1 to avoid the EOQ push for this reason but then that email...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Same here, I ordered back in June 2021, they matched me back in January NF464 with less than 2 days noticed so I passed. Removed hold yesterday and now I'm at 3/12-21 for delivery at Fremont. Hoping for a 473+ VIN!

    Any folks ordered early last year 2021 where they still had referral supercharger miles? Do they still honor that if you order with a referral link or they got rid of the entire thing.

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Actually I went digging and the best number to call is Tesla at +1 (888) 518-3752, took 2 mins for them to put a hold on the account but I'm able to remove that hold when I'm ready. Confirmed with the rep that config/price stays the same. I can't believe years later their scheduling is this...

    I just got a text after radio silence since ordering back in June 2021, VIN NF464 and scheduled pick up in two days! Unfortunately, I'm not going to be ready with so late noticed. Anyone know what tesla number I should call to have them push this out?

    Model S Refresh EDD Nov 12-26 For Sale

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    I would think spending 6 figures on a car we all have higher standards. We're all fanboys of Tesla or we wouldn't be here but as customers we can't let them slide with lower standards just because the tech on these cars are better than anything else out there. The crappy thing about these "small...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    It's nice to see people getting their cars delivered, however without mats/missing items. I don't think any other manufacture would be able to do that. I'm hoping when I get mine EDD 12/8 these issues are all taken care of. On a side note, if anyone in the SF Bay Area looking to get a MS LR...

    FS: Model 3 18" Wheels Only $450 (NorCal)

    Bump! I need to make room in the garage when my S comes, price lowered to $300 for the entire set. Also willing to part each wheel out but at $100/piece, still cheaper than getting a curb wheel repaired in the bay area :)
