15 minutes before my appointment :( We had a short conversation after where service confirmed once the part has better availability, they’ll resume cosmetic replacement.

Service confirmed the yoke horn button is gone (replaced with camera button), and the center of the yoke is the horn. Will post pics of invoice once its done. Appointment is on Tuesday and includes replacing the steering column (for an unrelated reason - makes loud grinding noise when retracting)

New Yoke with mechanical horn is finally here: Part 1965131-00-A STEERING WHEEL ASSEMBLY PUR - MECHANICAL HORN Steering Yoke 1965131-00-A must use yoke DAB 1965182-00-A. Firmware update required. I'll request service replace my peeling yoke and will let you know how it goes.

My local tech looked into yoke revisions for the S, and there are A LOT—at least 9. As of writing this, he says the latest one is 'H,' but the material is NOT NEW. It is the same as the previous revisions. He checked this by inputting the VIN of an S delivered that day, and luckily it had the...

The coil is approximately 1/2 foot past the cabin air filter, behind the center console. It is not reachable without disassembling the console.

Is Tesla pushing it back or are you asking it to be pushed back?

I drive in Plaid 24/7 so this thread spooked me. I made a trip down to the local service center and their message was clear: The only drive mode that affects drive train conditioning is Drag Strip Mode. Comfort, Sport, and Plaid only tune the response curves of the pedal. Comfort and Sport...

My yoke is showing signs of peeling. Any news on this fancy new updated material? Does someone have a source to prove its even a real thing?

Does anyone know what the HP vs Charge curve looks like on the Plaid? AutoTader (via Unplugged Performance) claims that at 66% the car is down 100hp: Given that I always charge to 70%, am I driving around down on power all the time?

Thanks, I found another thread on this topic: Tesla wants to physically disable Front Radar in my 2022 Model S for Tesla Vision I can confirm home link still works.

I had this work done today. The tech confirmed my car hadn't used the sensor once in over 3 months. It turns out it was disabled by software in some update a while ago, and it's just draining the battery without being useful.

Moderator note: Edited thread title to reflect the radar units in question are being disconnected, instead of removed. I had mobile service visit me to fix the trunk lunch on my 2022 Model S Plaid. As part of the service bulletin, an entry said, "Disable and remove front radar." I asked the...

Since this post was created, Munro did a full teardown of the instrument panel, and there is no screen back there.

By HUD I mean the screen behind the yoke. By top-down I’m referring to the car orientation on the HUD. Most of the time it's the car from behind. In theater mode, it's the car from the side. But after the chime, it is the car from the top.

Hey I can't figure out what this feature is from the manual. When driving slow (lets say 20kmh / 15mph), sometimes the car makes a chime (as if park or reverse gear has been selected), and the HUD changes from behind-the-car view to top-down-view. What is so important here that it is chiming?

Is anyone else on a 2022 Plaid S running into this issue? I've recently discovered the wonderful launch mode that gets enabled with Drag Strip Mode. If I'm at a light and feeling stupid, I will go into the menu and quickly toggle on Drag Strip Mode, smash both pedals down and some random time...

Hi, This is about Autopilot, not FSD. The car is a 2022 Model S Plaid. Before 2022.12.3.1, if I turned on my turn signal, Autopilot will disable as soon as any wheel input was given (without providing resistance). After 2022.12.3.1, if I turned on my turn signal, Autopilot disables as soon as...

I think it is a software issue as well. At 6 pm, I didn't have this issue. I accepted Software Update to the Plaid track mode. By 8 pm, I was back in the car playing with the track mode stuff and immediately noticed the buzzing sound. It was loud enough that I am confident there is no way I...

Mine came included, but there are lots of reports of them being sent after delivery. Open a service request via the app and they will mail them to your door. They click in by magnets so it's easy to install. I'm mostly surprised your service advisor didn't inform you of this during the delivery...

From asking my service rep about this: The dove sound is expected. It's part of the climate system that regulates cabin humidity. Nothing to fix. Enjoy the dove. I'm at 800km and have: 1. Yoke buzzing over turn signals. Turn off your audio and climate, and put your ear against it. Service is...

Sounds like a mechanical issue with the octovalve pump. I would raise a service issue for sure.

It looks like the pothole straight-up deformed your rubber far enough to impact the rim. That's one hell of a small pothole.

Does anyone else find that the glass roof is tinted so dark that it might as well be a body panel? I sat in the back of my Plaid for the first time while the wife drove myself and the kids around and... I struggle to understand the purpose of it. You can't see anything out of it and it's...

22 S Plaid /w 20" winter tires. Setting the toggle to comfort mode makes it ride like a Cadillac. Floaty with some body roll, but super soft. Day-and-night difference between "Auto/Sport" mode.

Small update. The SA has confirmed they will not attempt steaming and have submitted the request for a new seat. I'll let you know if it's approved.

I also have the dove sound. It’s not problematic… just.. unexpected. I guess it’s related to AC compressor

Will do. The advisor said they will try to steam it first, and if still looks bad, order a new seat. I haven't gotten any pushback yet. They were honest and said the seat could take 2-4 months and I said that's completely fine as long as its replaced eventually.

Picked up my Plaid today. I was hoping the 1-week delay to send it to the paint shop would be the last of my problems, but alas, I was wrong. 1. The car needs to go back to the paint shop. There's a large gash on the passenger side roof. 2. Passenger seat has wrinkles. Needs a new seat. 3. The...

Trunk and lights.

Of course, it is. The final paint is thicker (300+ micros after respray, ~150 microns from the factory), but to the human eye, it looks no different than the factory coat. Here's a good video on it, specifically at 4:25

You can also accept it and have them fix it. The SA can book the work on the spot, during pickup inspection.

Cool let us know what they identify as the root cause

Keep in mind the seats have an oleophobic and hydrophobic coating from the factory. If you go the nuclear option and use anything etching or abrasive, like vinegar or magic eraser, you will need to re-retreat the seats otherwise anything in the future will stain them. Take a warm damp cloth to...

That is not in spec. There should not be a vertical gap between the hood and the body. When the hood is resting that high, the internal frunk seal just past the latch is likely not sealing. Horizontal gaps are fine; they make it look like a cheap car, but at least those are only cosmetic.

My Plaid has a paint defect that the SA found 1 hour before delivery. He said it will take up to 2 weeks to respray the rear hatch and nearby areas. They wouldn't let me take delivery before it's fixed. Hearing the news was a kick in the balls, but the new delivery date is tomorrow and I hope...

Do you have a service appointment for it already? Seems like a trivial thing to fix.

Winter tires would melt in the bay area. They're designed for ~45°F or below. You're looking for all season tires.

At least the Plaid can claim it's the fastest accelerating thing with 4 doors on the planet.

95% of the world couldn't tell the difference between a Model S and Model 3, and now 99% of the world won't be able to. Seems like a cost-cutting measure, not an improvement.

It's in place. Tesla Ottawa notified me about it and my friend's Tycan is subject to it (he was notified on November 30th) Dealers have been aware since April 20 Its been ratified for months: Consultation on the Select Luxury Goods Tax - Canada.ca

Mine had paint issues as well, but not to the extreme level in your pictures, and they wouldn't let me take delivery until they were fixed. I'm surprised they let yours go like that.

It's a Tesla man. People don't know the difference between an S or 3, let alone the difference between Plaid or LR

My delivery date was 12/07 and it did not have it. 2022 Plaid.

2022 is physically identical to 2021. However, cars lose 30% of their value in their first year, so imagine taking ownership of a car, and just 1 week later it becomes a 1-year-old car. That's why every other manufacturer ships 2022 cars late October / early November - helps keep owners happy.

How can you judge the quality of... quality control when your sample size is the definition of selection bias? It's literally a thread dedicated to problems.

The service center cancelled my Plaid delivery today... they found a paint defect on inspection and it'll take up 2 weeks to respray the entire rear. Sad. The advisors are doing their best and I'm grateful they caught it, but the Tesla mothership in Fremont needs to get their *sugar* together.
