    Regret purchasing FSD after the Ver 12 "upgrade" being crammed down my throat

    I'm not sure why Tesla removed the single pull/double pull option when FSD is selected. IMHO I agree with the previous posts that Tesla took away the single/double push option in FSD because of the high risk of confusion. In previous versions there were a number of times when I thought I was...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Etc….. The amount of unpleasantness and sheer negativity you bring to this forum is astonishing. One could only wish for the ability to universally filter out your posts.

    How long did it take you to get used to the stalk-less turn signals?

    Even though I was somewhat nervous for my wife, she immediately took to them and was completely comfortable with the buttons by day 2. I was shocked and relieved.

    Have you chosen the payment method = finance or cash? That would seem to stop your VIN being assigned if you have not committed to the method of payment.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I had something like that in my Dec ‘23 build. It was eliminated by putting a couple of winds of gaffer tape around the catch for the rear seats. Presto, gone!

    To each his own. I use it every day every drive and IMHO that’s one of the best things about the car.

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

    Reading through the relevant posts on this forum, that seems to be the consensus.

    MSLR SG/Blk 19” FSD transfer. Ordered 2.7.24. Received VIN 3.1.24. Scheduled delivery 3.8.24.

    I paid using Plaid. It’s the authorization to remove the funds as quoted and approved from the designated account. In my case (Dec) that was done the day after I drove home in the car.

    Perhaps you shouldn’t plan on driving anywhere near Los Angeles. You may get a ticket for that even if legally parked at a meter on the street. Ask my wife. After the second one she put the front plate on.

    #2 - Visit and order the 2024 MSLR from a showroom so there’s a real human to deal with and fill out the doc for FSD transfer ASAP. IMHO they’ll honor the FSD transfer as long as the EDD is still listed as Feb/March. $12k ain’t pocket change. Once it changes to April the deal is off.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Not a stupid question. My FSD transfer doc only required filling in the two VIN numbers (in my case the RN), my signature and name. I printed it out, filled it in, scanned it and returned it.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    A few days after ordering I received a text from my SA requesting that I sign the FSD transfer document that had been sent a few days before. I had not completed it because of the field that required a VIN number of the car to which the transfer was being applied, which has yet to be issued...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Ordered wife's MSLR on 2/7, three days after the FSD/FUSC transfer was announced. Difficult to imagine that the transfer would not be honored if DD is after 3/31 as circmstances are beyond our control. Haven't heard a peep from Tesla since the signed FSD transfer documents were returned.

    Differences Between Mid-2018 Model S and Mid-2023 Model S

    I charged my 12/23 build MSLR to 100% last week during a trip to Palm Springs. 405 miles. I prefer to use percentage rather than mileage range. Much more precise and practical IMHO.

    So how fur did your last one go? My 2018 went pretty far but the 2023 certainly goes farther (apologies, my mother was an English teacher).

    FSD AND FUSC Transfer Offer this Quarter?

    There are spaces in the FUSC agreement to input both VIN numbers (coming and going) so you must at least have those before signing and returning.

    FSD AND FUSC Transfer Offer this Quarter?

    I went into the SC today to order a car for my wife so as to be absolutely sure to get the transfer. She test drove all 4 models and decided on the S (duh). Took a while to confirm as there was a question about the precise configuration of the 2018 M3 I was transferring from but in the end it...

    It's official, just spoke with Tesla sales. email just came out and they had to refer to it to corroborate details. FUSC and/or FSD fully transferable, offer is good for all models! When ordering, must use same email/account at Tesla.com that has the transferable car. Must keep the old car...

    New 2022 MS LR owner, very happy compared with M3

    Love the yoke too! However I must disagree with your assessment of the build quality. My 2023 MSLR is a considerably better build than wife’s Model 3 Go-kart is good analogy. Model 3 has me feeling the road. I don’t wanna do that. YMMV.

    Model s Suspension vs M3 Highland suspension

    Just completed a long ride in friend’s late 2023 M3. Certainly better than wife’s 2018 M3 but road noise was significant and obvious compared to my late 2023 MS.

    Model S 2018 worth keeping before battery warranty expires?

    I had a 2018 75D until Dec. In anticipation of future problems I traded up. New S is a completely different and improved car in so many respects. Very glad I did.

    FSP Subscription or Prepaid: is there a way to determine what's on the vehicle?

    Hello, Looking at refresh Model S (post 2021) for a friend. I notice one that has all the FSD determining factors on the close-up picture of the Autopilot screen but am concerned the dealer has simply added a subscription to make the buyer believe the total buyout is included in the price. Is...

    Tesla refusing to transfer lifetime supercharging after taking delivery.....disappointing.

    Vast diff between my 2018 S and new 2023 Model S besides being significantly quieter. Improved air suspension, Super Duper torque. Superior audio, many other features, search other threads. I drove the Y before making my choice and though the Y may be offered at near 60% of the Model S price...

    2018 75D AWD 19" Replacement Tires

    Last week swapped my 2018 75D for the refresh to take advantage of the UFSC offer. Bought a full set of Continental ProContact RX just in September :confused:. They had been recommended by Tesla but I bought and installed at America's Tire and saved. Noticeable road noise reduction because of...

    Refresh Model S. Would you purchase again?

    Yes. Coming from a 2018 75D. Since the UFSC was transferable along with the huge price cuts since Jan, it was a no brainer. Increase in satisfaction with the incremental changes like door pockets, coat hangers, auto-up windows on lock, etc. Audio system is a welcome upgrade from my former S...

    Tesla offers to transfer lifetime free supercharging to new vehicle

    Jumped on it upon learning of the offer on Dec 7th. Never got the email with the offer, just happened to ring sales while sitting in the loaner while my 2018 was in for alignment. Missed the ordering/December delivery window by hours but snagged the last new Black/black 19" from inventory...

    "as far as the rates go - someone mentioned first hour free. but even when i charge at americana in glendale, i need to pay for that first hour." Don't have to pay if you visit the Apple Store on the ground floor and have your ticket validated. Very friendly staff there.

    Video recording of Rear end collision - Why not?

    To the OP's original question: He seems well aware of the Dashcam function. His query is rather why it is not possible to engage recording of the side and rear cameras as well while moving/driving. Add my voice to folks who would prefer to see a toggle enable-recording of all cameras during...

    MCU2 - Retrofit

    I agree there will be no massive interior refresh as past history reveals regular unannounced incremental upgrades, some larger than others. Another reason the value of older cars is maintained.

    Model S/X deliveries with Intel-based MCU

    Wouldn't concern myself too much with that. Scottsdale is not in CA. More than likely yours made the cut. It's another refresh, hopefully one of many more unknown to come, employed to further perfect Tesla's creation. Glad to enjoy the ride.

    New competition for Tesla, The Jaguar I-Pace

    I prefer the minimalist/modernist interior of the Tesla models, and as I live in a mid-century home that should be no surprise. The Model 3 is a wonder of modernist design. Huge buttons, knobs, etc. like that on the Jaguar and Porsche models really turn me off. I'm not a Victorian. The sparsity...
