    Hey there. I have 1500 in gift cards that expires in a couple of days. Any recommendations on what to purchase for my Tesla MS in the Tesla Store. I wanted the car racks but they are sold out, was trying to hold out but no go. Thanks.

    Dirt Nibs on hood of new MS- should I have this repaired?

    They said it would not cost me anything. They remove the ppf. However they don’t replace it. That would be my obligation.

    Dirt Nibs on hood of new MS- should I have this repaired?

    Picked up my new MS - My detailer pointed out three dirt nibs on the hood (about 2-3 mm in size the largest,). Tesla Service Center offered to fix, and stated that they have some local bumper repair place do this and costs about $500. He said they do a great job and looks perfect...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I picked up my car about a month ago, and just took it to the tesla SC to fix a few defects. One defect is dirt nibs on the trunk. They offered to fix or provide a credit for future repairs. Unfortunately, I already had PPF installed. The nirt nibs are ~ 3 and the largest is about 2mm the other...

    I was told if you purchased the FSD after you buy the car, it does to reflect with your DMV registration, or affect your taxes.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    How do you like the 19" wheels with the aero covers off? Have you noticed lower range with the caps off too. I also like the T sport line selection, and was curious about 20" but really don't know if you need adjustments.

    My 2022 Model S Refresh Long Range Fit and Finish.

    I suspect that it is in your favor that you did not undergo the realignment efforts. I was also considering, but the little work that Tesla did resulted in creaking from the tailgate every time the car accelerated from the stationary position. Basically they made it worse. The Tesla collision...

    My 2022 Model S Refresh Long Range Fit and Finish.

    Tesla is buying back my car and transaction nearly complete. I ordered another one nearly identical, but this time with the 19 inch wheels. I am able to move over the 6 years of Supercharging, but could not move the FSD since my old MS was a total loss in June. Tomorrow I drive the old one to...

    Do you have the 21 inch or 19 inch wheels? Do you notice any change in feel of the ride?

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

    I realized I also bought the FSD for 2K in 2019, and also put 2K into TSLA at the same time - very grateful!

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

    I agree with @mikeeus and@ joey above about the differences. Remember, if you refer to yourself and have the loyalty credits, you will also have an opportunity to try the FSD to determine the value to you. Furthermore, purchasing after you buy may be financially advantageous as you do not pay...

    New built car has 71 miles on odometer

    I think you can see the exact build date on the side of the front door. The SO should be able to show you at delivery. I had purchased a tesla with 5 miles on it, and knew it was because the manager drove it from the storage lot to show me the car before purchasing. This was a bit back. Now...

    MS LR Refresh - Touchscreen - Buzzing noise

    I had the same on my 2023 (that is going back to Tesla soon.). I was told that it is normal and related to the power running the display? However, I drove a MX without this noise too. Also the MX did not have the high pitched humming from the motors, and it was the MX plaid.

    That is awesome! I ordered mine last week. blue LR with white interior, 19" and steering wheel (tempted to do the Plaid, but held back for the extra savings). I will likely do ppf and window tint too. Transitioning from a March 2018 MS 100D.

    I may order mine today or tomorrow. Bummed that the locality discount is lowered to $500. I also am going to go with the 19” ones, white interior and blue again. I had the 21 inch wheels and enjoyed the handling, but I think the ride may be less pleasurable to my passengers! Also, I am hard on...

    Any Model S Refresh/Plaid owners with the 21” Arachnid wheels regret not going with the 19” Tempests?

    Can you share more about what 20" wheels you bought and the tires? I may want to do this, as may look nicer, and may still have the same feel as the 19 inchers?

    Model S Plaid huge depreciation

    Silly question - is the Plaid much different from the LR S 2023? Is there addditional differences? Planning to test drive a Tesla MS with 21 inch tires and 19 inch.

    New Model S with alignment problem - Anyone have Tesla requests to send to a collision center to fix?

    I kinda wonder of the cars that are in inventory, have been previously rejected for these issues? Maybe a new build has a higher chance of being constructed better? I did not that the two showroom MS's I saw seemed without this issue. However, I was just focused on the step up to the quarter...

    My 2022 Model S Refresh Long Range Fit and Finish.

    I had a long discussion with the body shop that has been working close with Tesla since the beginning. He gave an interesting overview of the lift gate misalignment issues - it goes way back. Hear you @dramsey and agree, probably won't change until they really change the S body, or drop the...

    New Model S with alignment problem - Anyone have Tesla requests to send to a collision center to fix?

    The collision center reported back. They shared that the left quarter panel is within specs, and there is nothing to be don with that piece. They would have to do the adjustment to the tailgate, and completely remove it, remove the glass to reach all of the adjustments. About 1/2 day work...

    Interesting as this is the issue I have, however received an email today from Tesla: I just received the following email from Tesla today: "Tesla certified collision shop informed me that there is no need to do structural work on the quarter panels due to being in spec. They will need to work...

    New Model S with alignment problem - Anyone have Tesla requests to send to a collision center to fix?

    I can not tell if it is exactly the same, however if the gap its not flush with the left quarter panel it is the same! Hard to see all perspectives in the photo. Evidently, my Tesla SC was unable to fix this, and hence sent to a body shop. Keep us posted!

    Thanks @krsgio I was able to find the DIY - definitely beyond me... and I also found another post that seems exactly the same error as on my Tesla tailgate and rear panel alignment. I hope he provides feedback on the results of his negotiations with Tesla. However, from my experience over the...

    My 2022 Model S Refresh Long Range Fit and Finish.

    The OP by John, sounds eerily familiar to what I am going through with my 2023 MS Mfr date 6/2023. Currently, an advisor mentioned a buy back. However, as soon as I picked up the car new, I drove it to the nearby Tint/PPF place, and put ~ 3K into my car! Ugh. Also, while Tesla was repairing...

    New Model S with alignment problem - Anyone have Tesla requests to send to a collision center to fix?

    I have a new Tesla, and the lift gate is misaligned due to some defect in stamping the rear panel or something like that. Tesla is talking about repairing through a collision center and curious if anyone has dealt with an issue like this before?

    I am also doing a competitive package equivalent. The factory-installed ppf is removed by the detailer prior to her prep. The only thing I am on the fence about is ceramic coating. I do love how the water beads off, and it makes cleaning the car off with one of those special waterless wash...

    Tint percentage suggestions and tint mfr sought 23 MS Blue with white interior?

    Tint percentage suggestions and tint mfr sought 23 MS Blue with white interior?

    I was informed by our salesperson and the tint person that this car has no tint. The roof I believe does, and would not tint, it has much greater transparancy then the prior MS's (new for 2023) and therefore may be brighter inside with white interior, and hence the 'fish bowl' concern...

    Tint percentage suggestions and tint mfr sought 23 MS Blue with white interior?

    Interesting, as they have a new glass roof with more clarity. I wonder if this changes things.... so a good point and with the white interior may have an accentuated fish bowl effect? I was thinking of doing the Xpel XR Black and not their plus which has the highest IR rejection. Because it...

    I think you would have to redo your order, as stated below. It is interesting, as the first sales person, and manager did not tell me this offer, it was after several discussions,and when walking outside with a sales guy he shared this opportunity. The loot points are good too!
