I recently found a good deal for a 2022 Used Model X Plaid. However, the original owner is located in Florida and my wife is very apprehensive about buying a car from Florida due to salt water damage. My wife grew up in Florida and has put her foot down for me not to proceed with this purchase...

In the same boat here. Thinking about buying a Used Model X Plaid 2022 with updated lights and tilt screen etc. But wondering if 82k is a good price for one with 7k miles on.

You were right. The new estimate is now $44,000 total and the current value of my 2021 Plaid with 62,000 miles on it is simply garbage. I am getting appraisal amounts of between $53k-62k. GAP insurance is my friend here. I am talking with State Farm to see if they declare the vehicle a total...

Yeah, I'm waiting on the body shop to provide their estimate. I don't think State Farm will do the same what they did for you over the phone call especially when Plaid is a very expensive car and the state's regulation of having at least 75% damage means my car has to need at least 60k worth of...

I am having it done at a Tesla authorized shop in the area. (Oxmoor Collision Repair Center - Louisville KY). This is one of the two certified places here. I contacted the repair shop and told them I am not authorizing the repair until I get the full extent of damages as I did not see a lot of...

I wish you're right. So far I am not seeing them salvage the car in any way, shape or form. They did mention the cost might be more due to more parts that need to be supplemented but no mention of total loss yet. I am upset that it is taking them this long. They are wanting me to sign the...

I wish you and @TLLMRRJ are correct. However, I do not have a way to sign the paperwork that only gives them the permission to only tear down the car instead of repairing it. The repair shop has sent me paperwork asking permission to start the "repair" and the insurance company has already...

You are correct. I guess I am stuck with it because Kentucky and State Farm suck big time!

You will not have to worry about a totaled car because let me tell you no insurance company will total a Plaid at least in these trying times. Teslas are very resilient cars and barely suffer damages in crashes. Not to mention, the whole air bag deployed, and the car must be totaled is complete...

Are you me? haha in the midst of all these extremely positive reviews, which honestly includes mine too, I am glad to know that I am not crazy. I moved from 2020 raven model S and I found its seats to be way more comfortable and the ride to be way more smoother than the Plaid. It's sort of...

Yeah, this is infuriating. I am chalking it up to Tesla wanting the ride to be stiffer for the car to do what it does. Honestly, it has been almost a year and this is my first Tesla that I do not want to sell immediately and that's only because of what the car is capable of at any and all...

I just found out this thread and let me say I'm pleasantly surprised to know that I'm not crazy. Mine is a September 2021 Plaid and I switched from a 2020 Raven S and the difference in ride quality has been insane from the moment I got in the Plaid. The ride is stiffer, changes in suspension...

I loved Vredestein Quatrac on my 2020 Model S. I tried to get them for Plaid but was told they won't be a good choice and won't fit my car by a tire shop mechanic. Disappointed! If you get it to work, please share feedback on them. I wish they'd fit the Plaid staggered setup 😔

Got 2021.40.6 and can confirm there is no ARNR. Basically they had it enabled and figured it sucks and customers are better off without it. Doesn't sound like Tesla

Have had the Plaid for over a month with 6100 miles on it. My car is running on 2021.36.5.1 and I assure you that Yoke and Turn Signals are not a problem at all. You get used to them within the first few hundred miles. After that it becomes second nature. I had a Model 3 for two years then a...

hey, no I have not had ceramic coating done yet. When I do, I don't think I will go with Undrdog. It is a very new company and I don't know if I would trust it enough to go on my car.

Congratulations! I took delivery during end of the quarter push and I did not have any major issues with my car and honestly, compared to my previous EOQ deliveries this was a night and day difference in quality. I am very impressed with it. Also glad to hear from p75d user experience in...

No worries man. Stuff happens.

Thank you!

Will this make the wood darker shade than it is?

Ordered 😊

You probably had obstacle aware acceleration turned on in settings. It affects the launches on uneven roads

Yes, they are. There's noise of someone on Twitter with sh*t score actually getting the Beta and this person has the refresh S.

I doubt they'll release plaid like power curve for M3P anytime soon. If it happened more people will ignore Model S. All the talk of air suspension already has a few people on Twitter question their decision of a Model S. Giving Model S like to features to cheaper models does not seem like a...

I opted out of this bullsh*t in hopes I'll get the improvement update. Of course, didn't work out as predicted 😭

Your posts are extremely helpful. I appreciate this so much. Thank you again.

Thank you

Also looking for @jebinc input on this: Since you've had ceramic coating and no ppf, how's it holding up? Do you recommend front ppf + cc or just cc by itself? I've never had either one of them done and have been driving Teslas for 4 years. I was fine without them but recently started looking...

Thank you for the detailed response. Do you keep your cars for a while? I really don't. I replace them every 2-3 years that's why I am on the fence about ppf right now

Question for you homie: Since you've had ceramic coating and no ppf, how's it holding up? Do you recommend front ppf + cc or just cc by itself? I've never had either one of them done and have been driving Teslas for 4 years. I was fine without them but recently started looking into CC for ease...

hell yeah! Excited for you.

Could be me getting used to the power because I did push it multiple times throughout the 30 minute ride. With that being said I adore this car. It's a phenomenal piece of tech and better than any car I have ever owned. Not to mention, how big of an improvement the interior is over the...

Agree with you there. The performance does take a hit below 60-70% charge. For me I noticed it when I was driving at 64% charge and pushed the pedal. The car felt almost like my P100D at 90% charge. I was expecting a tad bit more out of it at around 60% charge considering Tesla has been boasting...

Dang! really? I guess they're spending a lot to get the press on their side then because there are these articles roaming around with how Lucid is set to deliver their 500+ mile electric car in a month or so. I doubted Tesla when it came to my delivering my Plaid this year and Tesla made me eat...

Man, the same sh*t happens to me every single time. I took delivery of my 2020 Model S in Sep 2020 and two months later they announced the refresh. Now that I got Plaid, I'm sure the Plaid+ is gonna be announced in a couple of months especially considering Lucid is starting delivery of their...

After looking into it I am also thinking about not getting All Season Contis on my Plaid. They have terrible reviews, poor pothole performance and wet and dry conditions performance. How in the world did they ever make it on a Tesla is beyond me. I think I will go for the Micheline Pilot 4S All...

That's terrible lol cannot wait to hear the "good news" from the SC now :rolleyes:

Don't wanna bring it up unless they bring it up 😂 I am assuming it's a no charge. I don't have the service appointment until October 25th. They didn't have a Saturday available for me to go. Will keep you posted.

No charge mentioned as of now. Blue Ash Ohio SC

What other All Season option do we have? Michelin Pilot 4S all season? Wonder how the lack of foam inserts will impact road noise.

That's great! My SA told me the service approved the request to swap mine for All Season tires which is good. I was under the impression that they will be giving the summer tires back to me because what else are they gonna do with them? They don't sell used tires. Well, they can definitely find...

Pre-cut PPF from Xpel costs around $2k for the full body for Model S. You're mostly paying for the labor cost. I have never had it installed on my cars. I think I would have considered it had it not been upwards of 7-8K. I'd much rather spend that much on something else, may be FSD 😂

Honestly, the seat wrinkles are not bad enough for me to seriously worry about them. If Tesla fixes it it'll be great but if they won't I will not b*tch about it. I do want them to replace the front trim around the screen since it is the area that is constantly stared at by everyone in the car...

Yes, I did report the issue to my SA who said these issues will be addressed 🤞

okay so I picked up my Plaid yesterday, here are my thoughts: Delivery: ~ For the most part delivery went super smooth. This is my 4th Tesla and I can tell you that Tesla has come a very long way when it comes to build quality and panel gaps etc. However, there were a few issues with interior...

Yes 😁

You guys think the vegan leather in perforated config needs some break-in time to be a but softer because it's way stiffer than leather on raven seats

Hmm something must be up with mine because I picked mine up today. Had a long day driving it about 300 miles. I could immediately tell the seats were stiffer then the marshmallows in my 2020 raven. My gf said the same thing after an hour of sitting on the passenger seat. She said it was hurting...

2020 Model S seats are far more comfortable than the newer seats in Plaid which are stiff. I sat in one and you can immediately tell the difference. Any of you guys know what to use to soften up the perforated seats lol
