    Have they finally fixed the Model S yet? Interested in 2024 plaid.

    Maybe the Ludicrous Highland that is rumored to be coming? Full disclosure, I love my '21 Plaid, but my '17 S was less 'creaky'. It's not bad but the car is just so quiet that it just stands out.

    Supercharger - Refugio, TX

    I was bored tonight so took a little trip out there... Nothing. I'm beginning to wonder if this still is in the works?

    Electric vehicles release more toxic emissions, are worse for the environment than gas-powered cars: study

    Popped up on my feed as well. Got to the 'click to read more' button and already knew it was FoS or FUD, however you want to put it 😉

    used p100ds now are dirt cheap. What's going on?

    New Plaid pricing pushing down used Plaid, used Plaid pushing on previous gens of (performance) Model S. I traded my P100D in around this time last year for almost 40 and it had 90k miles. Wasn't happy about it at the time but now I'm glad I didn't wait.

    Supercharger - Lumberton, NC - West 5th Street (16 Stalls, V3) open

    Who do we @ nowadays for supercharge info? This site I guess is at a 'La Patrona' bar and grille in NC but when I hit the link (I'm in Texas btw) it takes me to a La Patrona bar/club in Houston lol

    2025 Roadster per Elon

    I have a countdown on my phone that I started around the time the Roadster was unveiled. It was when I was hoping to be able to afford a (used) Roadster, sometime in 2026, trading in my soon to be bought (used) performance Model S, my first Tesla. I am on my second S now, and the countdown...

    Tesla Pizza Gate

    It's so crazy how divided everything is. On one site I was reading 90% of the comments were how that business owner was at fault for not having a contract or taking payment up front, and on another they were all bashing Elon andTesla. Crazy world we are living in.

    Supercharger - Sealy Texas

    Right? And on I10? The one that was permitted in the other side of Sealy I checked a few times on and it never even started construction.

    Supercharger - Wharton, TX

    Having charged here, and scoping out the original build, it should be an easy expansion. Plenty of room along the back lot and iirc power pole back there as well. Edit: lol realized I said the same thing above 😄

    Did software update cause false alerts?

    Interesting. Our lowest temp this weekend was around 50 and the update happened over the weekend. Car was in the garage as well so I don't think the car ever saw near 50. I wonder what they consider cold?

    Did software update cause false alerts?

    2021 Model S latest update a few days ago had the driveability and steering/braking alerts show when I went to check what days/times were available in service menu. Today when I went to finalize the date, alerts were gone. No issues driving the car. Guessing it's a glitch?

    Loud pop/noise when starting to drive

    Put up wet? Mine does this after rain (or a wash) and the brake pad seizes to the rotor.

    NTSB update for Autopilot has me looking for an anti-nag device

    Just for it to work honestly. It's strange but 'enable steering wheel heater' turns it on, the display shows 'hi' but it barely feels like it's on. When I set it manually it gets hotter and much quicker at that. I don't see what the difference would be, but there is one on my car. Edit: made...

    NTSB update for Autopilot has me looking for an anti-nag device

    Like someone above said, it's just the second you take your eyes off the road you get that warning. Tesla, you are the one that put the screen with the AC controls on it, forcing us to look (voice only works soso) and then you punish us for doing so. I can set the speed and seat vent fairly...

    Did Model S Plaid just have range downgraded by 37 miles?

    Interesting. My Plaid runs circles around my '17 P100D in efficiency. And don't get me started on charging speeds.

    Going rate for tempest wheels & tires

    Overpriced. I think a forum member got down to mid 500s on the ones he was selling. Granted they were more used i believe, but... I paid 16xx shipped for mine (almost 400 shipping) and from what I'm seeing lately, I overpaid. Happy with them though, getting around 50 more miles with them per...

    Model Y 2024 new range estimates

    So less cells in the Plaid now?.... You are very careful with your wording, I give you that. But it is ok to just say 'I don't know' every now and then.

    Model Y 2024 new range estimates

    I know this thread is for the Y but on the S the LR didn't change but the Plaid did. Surely they are not putting less energy dense batteries in their flagship model.

    What MS should I buy?

    Once you've verified the car's condition, and I'd definitely take a test drive to see if there are any noises (creaks, pops or rattles because those can be hard to fix) the only thing holding me back would be the shortened warranty. Since you can take care of that, I'd day go for it! Also check...

    Vendor Tesla Model S Battery Extended Service Plans from 057 Technology

    Man that autopilot/FSD update sucks! I 100% agree that the car gets in a mood and just won't acknowledge any input and then 'autopilot disabled for the remainder of your drive' 😡

    21 S Plaid squeal/creak/screaming turning wheel/stopping

    Drive thru is exactly where I notice mine. Standard regen/ light braking it's silent, but on a quick stop is where there was a noticeable creaking.

    21 S Plaid squeal/creak/screaming turning wheel/stopping

    Mine ('21S with 41k) does the noise in the second video. Although I can't say I've heard it in a while but maybe I'm just used to it? I'll try it out later today.

    wh/m - P100DL?

    I had a 2017 P100D for 45k miles and iirc it averaged around 320-330 for the time I had it (roughly from 45k-90k miles).

    Do new Tesla Model S's still have the camber / tire issue?

    '21 S here, 21"tires definitely had the uneven wear. I'm on the 19s now but not enough mileage yet to say it's a fix, but I'm hopeful!

    Same, 2017 S with 80kish miles. Warranty was through Tesla when they sold used vehicles with 4 more years and 50k more miles

    21+ refresh regen 'moan' when wheel turned

    My '21 refresh is getting a strange 'moaning' sound when off the throttle, slowing and the steering wheel is turned. Doesn't happen when the wheel is straight and seems to only happen during regen. Almost sounds like a worn bearing. Going to setup a service appointment but would like to get some...

    Not showing online yet but something is going on. They are blocked off still by cones but there were 3 Teslas there. It looked like 2 were trying to charge. The Tesla logo is lit on the stalls as well.

    What has changed?

    My '17 had heated seats but weren't vented, I really like the cooling here in south Texas haha! Also came from MCU1 so the new one is light years quicker. I miss the free supercharging I had and now that the weather is starting to cool off I think I'm going to miss the sunroof.

    Tire particle problem

    EVs really do change the way people think. All of a sudden, people care about car fires, how much fossil fuel is used making cars, what devastating effects digging up elements used in batteries is causing. And now tire pollution.

    Transferring unlimited, super charging

    Maybe they could add the option when purchasing? Kind of like when Uber asks your preferred temp and level of conversation?

    Neighbor took delivery today - received 2022 build?

    I bought a new 2015 Z06 in April of 2016. Chevy had 15% off '15 models and tacked on to the dealer discount I ended up with 20k off. It can happen.

    Are bragging rights worth $15k?

    From your post, absolutely not. Not saying it isn't for everyone though. For me, it's a no-brainer. I came from boosted and highly modded Corvettes so 15k extra for a low 9 second daily driver? As soon as one fell in my price range I couldn't throw my money down fast enough 😆

    Supercharger - Bastrop, TX

    So what's up with the two Teslas with manufacturers plates in the marked section (Tesla flags) next to the chargers? Looked like they had QR codes in the windshield. I was getting a ride from the airport and noticed this last Sunday. Maybe a way for owners to check out the newest model?

    Model S reliability compared to Model 3

    I put 45k miles on a used S and traded it in at 90k miles. No major issues. Rear trunk latch, headlight drls and door handles, most fixed by a Ranger coming to me. Got a few thousand miles on a used '21 I bought, not enough to comment on reliability yet though.

    Trunk dented, repair costs?

    I had something fall on my hood, left a small 6-7"area with 2 or 3 little dents that looked like hail damage. Estimate for repair was around 550. Was told they'd just bondo it smooth then repaint and blend. Was going to see if pdr could tackle it, not crazy about having the bodywork done.
