Wow. Thank you for the detail. Does it still shut with the brake pedal at least?

honestly unless you get pleasure out of this, at what point do you just trade the car in for a new one, vs 10k+ and hours of time for just the seats? Retrofitting always seems like a great option until you actually price it out and get into the work. Especially when it isn’t supported by the OEM...

I don’t expect any major refresh in the next year+ but I could be wrong. The article is just speculation. S/X sales don’t do near the scale nor the profit even of 3/Y globally. The layoffs signal increased productivity is needed. Lots of cybertrucks to produce per sold orders. Robotaxi from a...

Yes this is huge for me. So in 2024 brand new X’s, this capability has been diminished - as in it doesn’t open the door all the way anymore, it just pops open but you still need to open it yourself? That sounds like a big step back, its prob my favorite thing about the X.

I did not know that! Last X I drove was a 2020. Like all X’s I had driven before that, when you approach the car it pops the driver door open, you get in and put your foot on the brake and the door closes. Is that not how it works anymore?

Interesting to read the comments here. I love the yoke and love the auto-front-doors, and love the falcon doors. I’ve owned several teslas and am going to get another S or X in the coming weeks. Had an early CT order but decided to pass on it, it’s not for me. I’ll order an X the literal moment...

this is the wheel the car should have shipped with Good move by Tesla to replace these, gives me more faith they are beginning to understand the importance of taking care of customers and taking pride in the quality of what they produce

1 - let’s hope the S seats are coming to the X plaid too 2 - would love any addl interior refinements - ambient light, better materials, etc. As soon as these 2 things are confirmed I’m placing my order. I think the x is the best car in the lineup by far.

They are in the config, every color.

Elon posted the new seats and said: “The Model S & X Plaid (meaning, beyond ludicrous speed) are sublime” I don’t see why the X wouldn’t get them. A 9sec 1/4 mile SUV surely could use a bit more bolster support right?

I completely disagree they look like any high end “performance sedan” seats. Not “sports car” seats. Further this car needs more supportive seating it is literally one of the quickest moving objects on any roadway. The bolsters look quite mild, as do the seat bottoms. Odds are they are same...

Sport seats available on all Apr 1-fwd model s builds, confirmed. Hope the x is next along with ambient lighting and other touches 👌

This is what we used to call back in the day “magazine racing” No one outside of extreme speed enthusiasts *really* care if the Plaid accelerates .01 faster than a Porsche or a Lucid. What the MSP proved to the enthusiast community is cars have become “fast enough”. Anything much faster is a)...

I too have thought about an eqs, taycan, something different. What I keep coming back to is my familiarity with, and ability to depend on, a few key features. Dog mode, a fully functioning app, and autopilot on the highway are 3 things that come to mind of non-negotiable i know I can depend on...

I’m wanting the Cybertruck less and less while my order slot sits active. Too much attention, and it seems incomplete. I don’t want to be stopped on the road and followed, it’s a celebrity instagram car, not interested I want a comfortable cruiser where I can blend in. Fingers crossed for any...

Is there any pattern to the delays? Like you have CF trim or something and all the cars now being delivered don’t. Any rhyme/reason? I’ve heard this as well that something about late year orders there are delays that don’t seem to add up.

Love the red 🤙 Is anyone’s order being unexpectedly delayed at this point? That would indicate a potential update in the line.

Is anyone with active orders set to deliver in the next few weeks seeing their dates pushed out? If so that is a good indication that something is changing in the production line requiring a small delay. Is that happening?

Wow. If I get that call I’m ordering an X, forget the cybertruck 👍

I hope so. My CT reservation just came up for order for Mar-May delivery. I’m leaning towards just getting another plaid instead of the CT, the CT draws too much attention. Would LOVE a plaid+ or updated plaid, it’s been my fave Tesla I’ve owned.

I’m open to the Turbo S but: 1) I like that the Tesla blends in and doesn’t stand out like the Porsche. Not interested in drawing attention to the car 2) supercharging access is a must and I don’t want to wait until 2025/2026 3) I’ve grown accustomed to things like sentry mode cameras, the...

I took delivery of one of the first Plaids, my lease end is coming up and I was just going to get another Plaid, or if my CT reservation comes in before then I’ll just use the CT as my everyday car instead. Seeing here for the first time that a refresh could be coming, that would be ideal. Love...

this the smartest way to buy a tesla on a budget. If you’re concerned about depreciation, let it take the massive hit it WILL take 12-18 months after release when the deep price cuts start to happen. It’s like clockwork. If you want to save $, that’s the way to do it. downside is you’re driving...

Mine was an early delivery, 150k ish. Lease Teslas. They are like iPhones. Obsolete after 3-4 years max. Easy peasy, hand the keys in and enjoy the new one!

good luck! Every time any of the following gets brought up: - light knocking from suspension upon turns - lurching/groan upon initial movement forward - squeaking brakes constantly at low speeds every time I mention they say “cant reproduce”. I even video’d it for them and attached. “cant...

I was able to get this done, with the help of my sales advisor. Without his help, it would have been a wall of no’s. This was when Plaids first came out, I had 2 reservations and took the one that came first. Didn’t want to make a buck off of anyone so I transferred the 2nd reservation to a...

Horrendous. have had a sagging trunk and multiple noises for months. multiple appointments - they forget things, don’t do things, don’t have parts, and attempted to charge me (for a trunk sagging lol - they said since it was more than 30 days since the last ”fix” I’m responsible -for a 1yr old...

I have experienced no discernible diff between t1 and t2 so far

I think getting into the tit for tat about Dealer relations will only result in banter about what people believe about strangers on the internet, so YMMV. Summary is yes absolutely that’s normal with high end 150k+ cars. My dealers I do business with know I buy cars. If I have one 7yrs out of...

Perhaps you don’t have a good enough relationship with your dealer to where they take care of you well enough to do so. Thats an aside from the whole of the point of the post which you clearly disagree with, right? So you think Tesla delivers the best service and best ownership experience, do...

It’s crazy how people apologize for stuff like this with tesla. The problem isnt that it’s insurance vs a breakdown or whatever else. The problem is that tesla literally guides it’s employees to do the opposite of what makes a great customer experience. Mercedes, Audi, etc would have a truck...

cheers!

Don’t know but would love to know. Standing by for confirmation teslawase still works. Thank you!

Can you check if teslaWaze works on the browser?

the release notes mention browser updates - hesitant to update amd lose teslawaze like previously. It came back in the last update and want to keep it that way. Anyone confirm tesla Waze still works in this version?

Lots of ppl prob scrambled orders in when the press caught on to the car, thinking they would be able to flip it given supply chain issues and hype at the time. Several months later, car shows up, they can’t make a profit,so they either sell right away to cut losses, or drive a bit and sell for...

Nothing more complicated than this. OP move on if you don’t like it, its your own fault.

It doesn’t populate the same on the refreshed S. It only shows at a zoom level. zoom out, can’t see them. will try voice control.

This changed. I have the same gripe. when you’re using Nav, you have to zoom in close to see superchargers, so its hard to see multiple sc’s in one map view. in the old UI, for long drives let’s say where you want to plan out a diff route based on supercharger preference, you could see a big...

You can buy the lease out and do as you please with the car. Sell to carvana, trade in, whatever.

Or just do carvana. That service is crazy convenient they literally show up take the car and hand you a check. That was my preference but the system couldn’t figure out how to value a model s for whatever reason, and no one would return outreach. I have used it for other cars - fantastic.

Yep. They honored what their site and documentation said all along. Car was valued at $77k Owed was $80k Just pay $3k diff and its a wash (Dont remember exacts, something along those lines) Versus - their original stance of who cares what the car is worth, and who cares that we told you it was...

They reversed course and honored the quoted trade instead of the fabricated early lease termination. This was after the store manager sent me a patronizing email defending why they would not reverse course. Tesla leasing reached out shortly after, adjusted the account, and did the right thing...

Trending in the right direction after the most recent escalation. Will post back soon hopefully with good news restoring my faith!

yes - they are insisting I pay. Trade in listed on the site for months, was given a trade amount for the car, given a payoff, confirmed it was a trade when I handed the keys in…and still Tesla felt like categorizing it as an early lease return without telling me, insisting I pay them all...

Yes. Going thru this right now. Did a trade in, with an agreed amount, got a bill for a year of payments left on the car. Why would I give you the car AND pay for it, especially when the agreement clearly was a trade in. Terrible. Tesla still hasn’t resolved. waiting.

So one of us took the time to make a thread about a car they don’t own, haven’t driven, and aren’t interested in buying. Then proceeds to argue with a stranger about that car, again that they don’t own and have no experience with. Then gets salty when a discussion thread they started on a...

Zero minutes, got it. nope I dont think you should get it. Enjoy the Taycan. 👍

The yoke is one of the most unique and fun aspects of the car. Visibility is much improved. I got used to it in literally 10minutes. One of my favorite toys on the car. How many miles have you personally driven in a refreshed model s with a yoke in your hand and what are your hands-on thoughts?

Cammisa is right. mKB is right. im right. My suggestion for those who want real perspective vs internet conjecture - take it from 3 ppl who actually have the car/have extensive experience with the car over some hater on a message board. Best product yet.
