    Model S/Model X Prices Slashed!

    I did this - sold the 2022 MS LR after I took delivery of the 2023 EQS580. Lots of chargers but the free ones (for two years) are not as convenient. There happens to be an Electrify American station 5 miles from home if I wanted to charge for free, and if I wanted to drive to Vegas there are...

    Why so much of for sale

    After two weeks with the EQS580 - and the Tesla sitting idle in the garage - it is a no brainer to keep the EQS and sell the MSLR. In addition to the heads-up display, sunroof, real horn, turn signal, amazing led lights which project into lanes and other magic, there are real leather seats with...

    FS -2022 MSLR fully loaded with. FSD, Los Angeles Area - "Refresh 2.0"

    Lowered price to $96,000 OBO over $93,500! Has FSD (which is active), 21" wheels, LED lights and refreshed tail lights, black/white interior, ceramic coating, tint, and today this car would cost almost $130K as equipped. !

    FS -2022 MSLR fully loaded with. FSD, Los Angeles Area - "Refresh 2.0"

    Thank you for your comment. I was not going to bother responding to the consistently negative, condescending comments from Kairide. My experience with ZR rated low-profile tires have ranged from 10K-to 18K miles over a variety of high performance vehicles. And my tires still have between 5-6mm...

    FS -2022 MSLR fully loaded with. FSD, Los Angeles Area - "Refresh 2.0"

    What are you insinuating? I drive 25-30K per year. My daily commute is 80 miles plus any additional miles for my profession. Almost all freeway miles. There are a lot of cars out there for this price range. I buy electric as I really save $400-$600 per month in gas. I cannot imagine...

    FS -2022 MSLR fully loaded with. FSD, Los Angeles Area - "Refresh 2.0"

    Yeah but it has 19" wheels and no FSD. that is a $10K difference right there. With that VIN I also cannot tell if it has the new headlights. But I am happy with my price for now.

    FS -2022 MSLR fully loaded with. FSD, Los Angeles Area - "Refresh 2.0"

    I am selling my 2022 MSLR, delivered March 2022. MSM, White/Black interior, 21" Arachnids, FSD activated, 16,200 miles. "Refresh 2.0" (New headlights and rear lights) changed by Tesla in early 2022. No tilt screen. Ceramic coating, exterior window protection and ceramic window tint added...

    Why so much of for sale

    I'm listing mine for sale. Eight months old, 16K miles, fully loaded with FSD activated. It took 54 weeks for delivery and while waiting I ordered an EQS580. The EQS580 was delivered last night. The Tesla is a better machine as far as speed and exterior looks and of course FSD. The EQS...

    Have any new testers with a safety score above 80 received the FSD Beta 10.69.2.2 update yet?

    I had a high safety score - between 85-87 and last weekend I was given FSD. Already have two strikes against me. The internal camera does not like it if you pick up your phone. What happens if I get five strikes? Can I redeem myself after a few weeks? I did not pay $10K to get put in...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    So I took delivery of my'22 MSLR (refresh lights but no tilt screen) on March 23 after waiting 380 days or so for the car. When I had waited seven frustrating months I also ordered a 580 EQS. The EQS is waiting for me at the Port of Los Angeles (short hold as Mercedes supposedly has not...

    I have a question for my friends here who have the "refresh 2.0." Curious if anyone has actually opened up a car built after say March 1, 2022 to see: (a) if there really is a micro switch or other means of enabling a horn response from the center of the yoke by a software update as asserted by...

    Thanks for the response (and to Lbowroom too). On a lark, I looked in the frunk and there was a little baggie with screws labeled front license plate. I ordered a plain black frame on Amazon (actually had to order two as no-one was selling just one plain black frame). Funny enough, in two...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I don't think my question was clear - the car obviously came with the mounting plate on the from that most of you want to take off (or did take off). What I am talking about is a "decorative" frame to put over the front plate and the mounting screws (like what they put on the rear). Curious...

    I cannot imagine that is legal! I like to avoid confrontation. Lots of reasons I don't want to be pulled over at night without an excuse. I can live with a front plate.

    I am posting this here since you are my "friends" and I don't need to start a new thread. I kept my "Tessio" license plates and DMV in CA assigned them to my new car. I did not get either a front license plate frame or screws to attach the plate. Did any of you? Before non Californian's...

    I am so sorry to see that I was not an anomaly at 380 days to delivery and that some are still waiting. I wish I had the tilt screen but I am enjoying my car, which after two months has about 4K trouble free miles. My only MINOR issues have been: (i) the sometimes disappearing SiriusXM icon...

    Yeah, but they may revert back to the old hinges. I want the tilt retrofit (or hope to be pleasantly surprised that my mid-March build has the hardware to be enabled by software when they enable the airbag horn button).

    Does this serve the purpose of letter the car go through the car wash DRIVERLESS? I have a brushless carwash I used with my old MS which required an attendant (or me) to be in the driver's seat while in neutral. For this function to have any value, you should be able to put the car in neutral...

    I originally wanted the 19" wheels. I changed my order when Tesla was not shipping any cars with 19" wheels. Then to change back it would cost me as much as the wheels cost due to price increases. Now that I have the car, I think the 21" wheels are gorgeous. Note that I had a nail in the...

    How on earth are you driving and using substantially less than 300 wh/mi. I could not do that on my old MS, and on my MSLR my total over 2,200 miles is now 309 wh/mi, and on rare occasions on a trip I can get to about 295 Wh/mi. Are you driving all downhill, or what?

    RN1149 and earlier, still waiting group!

    I have had my car one month now. Today got my windows tinted (3M Ceramic IR) and got ceramic coating. Not sure I am happy with the work (I see some splotchy areas) but maybe it needs to harden or dry? I am enjoying the car. It has 2,200 miles and has worked pretty flawlessly - the autopilot...

    USB Device and music not showing on Refreshed MS LR

    I can tell you that so far I have loaded about 5GB of songs on it and it works flawlessly. Loaded from my Mac. On my prior car, a '17 MS, the Sandisk 64GB small USB drive would fail to load about 50% of the time. Maybe I got lucky?

    Upholstery repair. Want to replace worn white upholstery pad on driver’s side door pillar.

    In the old days (circa 2018-2019), Tesla replaced the panel gratis on my 2017. But I had requested the part within three months of my purchase and this was before easy entry was implemented. Today, good luck.

    Wiki 2021+ Model S Refresh - Missing/Incomplete Software Features

    On the lack of the energy app on the dash, I do note that there is a green bar at the bottom portion of the driver display which moves to one side when accelerating and using energy and to the other side when regenerative braking is doing its magic. The amount of green to one side or the other...

    I have the Refresh 2.0. The other day I was showing it off and I did the Holiday Lights xmas thing in the toybox. The matrix lights don't only blink - if the car is facing a garage door or wall, they project the word TESLA on the wall! Kinda cool but I'd rather they focus on updating software...

    While you are at it, has anyone figured out how to adjust the Refresh 2.0 hinges? I read several pages back that the hinges are electronically adjustable to change the door closing tension. [Early] April fools!

    I went to Discount Tire - refused to touch it - and also Big Brand. Both have patched for free in the past. It was the location of the screw more than an outright refusal. But I am intrigued by being able to buy a road hazard warranty from someone who did not sell me the tires. I'm in if it...

    I thought I would give my 200 mile report! On my third morning owning the car (yesterday), I was shocked to see that I had a screw in one of the tires. I went to two tire stores who would not plug it - both saying while they don't normally even do that, they felt it was too close to the side...

    Unfortunately the screw was too close to the sidewall and two tire stores said it could not be patched or plugged. Only place with the same tire in stock was Tesla and because I did not want to drive on it, I had to buy a new tire. $553 at Tesla but the customer service at Agoura SC was great...

    KARMA - car is less than three days since delivery, I have now 192 miles, and I have a screw in one of my 21" tires! No loss of tire pressure yet though. I assume a plug will fix it? Does Tesla service do this or should I just go to a tire store? I really don't want them dismounting the...

    You may be a bit younger than me. Now that I have tried it, there is obviously a noticeable difference with insane mode on, but I'll save that for showing off with friends instead of every day driving. Still a huge difference/upgrade from the acceleration from my '17 MS 75.

    Changing display position

    I recall seeing a video (may have been on the release day event) and discussion that on the V11 for the MS refresh, certain display windows can be moved towards the passenger. Example, moving window for the audio choices to the right of the navigation screen so Nav is closer to the driver and...

    That could happen. They called me four days before my delivery appointment to get my car. You can sneak in that way and drive off in your Plaid!
