Thanks! I have been questioning my sanity for ordering a new Model S 3 years after getting one. However, the gains across the categories of performance, drivetrain, electrical/charging, battery mgmt, design and FUN have eliminated any regrets! A few other notes: 1. Charging on the same...

Took delivery yesterday on a LR with 19" rims. My thoughts coming from a 2018 Model S 75D. Summary, I LOVE IT! Exterior Changes are subtle but noticeable for Tesla fans. I like the black trim, gives it a much sportier look. Same for the extra width in fenders and tires, sportier, meaner...

Are you supposed to wait until factory paint is fully cured before doing PPF? My car was built 9/14 and worried next week will be too soon to have it done. Thoughts?

Same here regarding honoring pre-hike pricing. No luck.

Regarding seat pleats, I looked at 4 refresh Models S cars awaiting delivery today and a few had pleats in various spots while 1-2 of them didn’t have any. Pleats shouldn’t be there and It will be one of the first things I check for when my car arrives later this week. I can confirm those with...

June order with Oct EDD. Slipped to Nov for a bit then held in December for last few weeks. Imagine my surprise when I got the payment due email with a VIN and 9/27 delivery!

My EDD has been moving up over the last few weeks by a few days at a time. However, today it went from mid November to early December (2 week slip).

@SignatureSales can you tell if the new Tesla Arachnid is still a forged wheel? At 35lbs, I’m guess it isn’t.

Here is the response I got from a service manager. “The original arachnid wheels would not fit the newer Model S for 2021+. They are only meant to be installed on the original 2012-2020 Model S vehicles. We would not be able to advise on using any spacers or anything to modify the way the...

I have heard speculation that the new Arachnids are cast and not forged like the previous ones. Does anyone have official word on this one way or another?

My order number is RN1151***. It has consistently shown a general October delivery since placing the order. I haven’t filled out the financing section as I don’t want them to run credit now and have to run again closer to Oct. Does anyone know if that affects my delivery date? If I complete...

Source for this statement "new Arachnid 21" wheels are cast"? I haven't seen info on this one way or another.

Does anyone know if the previous Arachnids will fit the updated Model S LR? I assumed so from a bolt pattern perspective but after reading through this, not so sure.

No affiliation to either of these but the best I've found so far.

Official EPA ratings are up. New model is slightly more efficient than outgoing. City: 121 -> 124 Highway: 112 -> 115

Thanks! Good catch, I missed that. Do you know if the LR description is different than the outgoing model?

@Olle Simplification and cost reduction sure make sense especially for all things Tesla these days. However, the same motors from the M3 in a heavier car wouldn't be able to achieve the same performance. I believe the 0-60 times for the M3P and MSLR are both 3.1 indicating that the MS must...

Understanding this is more of a thought exercise given the lack of official information. If we are to assume the new Model S is more efficient than the old, where will that efficiency come from? Material Reduction Elon did say they trimmed the interior to give more space including slimming...

So is this new carbon-wrapped motor technology in both the new Model S Plaid and LR versions or Plaid only? I was assuming both were using the same tech with the Plaid adding tri-motor but the more I read, the less certain it becomes. Is the LR using the same drive tech as the previous Model...

Asking the obvious question, are the 20s summer and the 19s winter? If so, numbers aren’t reflective of just rim size as cold weather has a big affect.

Tesla uses a 3rd party for pricing and purchasing trade-ins. That 3rd party offers wholesale pricing. I've confirmed this by comparing estimates I've received over time against Manheim Auctions MMR and they are within a few hundred dollars consistently. Tesla pricing is very volatile, more...

Updates on tesla.com Range up across board due to efficiency package SR 250 - 263 M3P 299 -> 315 Powered trunk, double pane, chrome delete and new interior console. Update wheels including 20" Uberturbine! New steering wheel, no mention of heating though.

Model S 75D delivery Sep '18. 29K miles. Total Supercharging = 5 hours. 90% daily charge.

Anyone else contact [email protected] per the support page? I sent an email but haven’t heard back yet. I’m wondering on cost and any aesthetic changes to the glass roof.

I’ve avoid the skipping issue but apparently have a different one where I get no audio at all regardless of source though the display is working fine and tuning correctly. Started in the last week or so and happens a few times a week requiring a reset to resolve. Strange

Great deal but I too worry about the condition of the car. The price for it is so far below all others that there has to be a reason

39.7 tonight as well, 2018 MS

@DrComputer don't disagree but this is more about the configuration of the car changing vs the value of the XM service.

My car is an Aug 2018 build. At the time, the website still stated the sunroof was required for XM and roof racks. However, I'm able to tune the promo/sales channel from XM with the glass roof. I looked at the website today and sure enough, the sunroof option now says "Required for roof rack"...

Aug 2018 build. When I ordered it, the website still had the disclaimer that the sunroof was required for XM reception however it no longer states that. Good news I guess.

I have premium and the glass roof and was not expecting any XM capability based on Tesla’s website and therefore do t have a subscription. However, I can receive their promo/sales channel. Does anyone know if this is delivered via satellite as well or is it a special radio channel? If...

2018 S75D @ 90% = 225 miles since I got it 1 month ago

3M crystalline @ 40% front/rear sides and rear window

Thanks all. Going to stick with it as the heat rejection is worth it

Just had 40% tint put on the read window and now headlights refract at night creating a vertical pattern like attached. Anyone else with rear tint have this or not have this? Is there a way to resolve (tinting only between defrosters)?

3M Crystaline 40% on sides and rear plus 3M Scotchguard Pro PPF in front.

Go to a reputable, 3M certified dealer as they won't have the incentive to bait/switch you.

Took delivery of MS75D....twice. The first time I found a scratch on the rocker panel that required a trip to the body shop to fix. Tesla's policy is if any body work is required, the customer cannot take delivery. One week later, I took delivery (again). The car was filthy and clearly had...

I had a scratch that required painting to be be fixed and therefore a trip to the body shop. Apparently Tesla’s policy is it can’t deliver any car that needs body work so I was unable to take delivery last Friday. Heading there tonight to pick it up. Hopefully no more issues. Good luck!

Don’t disagree it isn’t the most important feature and $100/year is affordable. The principle of it however is what bothers me.

Anyone have emails or phone numbers for people within Tesla that can assist with the issue below? Please message me!! I placed a Model 3 order on 6/30/18 this year before the expiration of “premium connectivity for life”. I paid the deposit etc. A month later I transferred my order to a new...

@BIG ACH what are you using to wrap the cord? I too hard wired the HPWC directly in to the back of the unit.

The arachnids survived without damage? That’s impressive for a 21” rim. I wonder if a turbine would have fared as well?

Chicago area, did they sell?

Waiting for MS to arrive, thought I’d share my wall connector install. I still need to figure out the best way to wrap the 24’ cord. Anyone have a recommendation?

bumping this up hoping more people have arachnids now and can provide more first hand accounts of range, noise, and ride.

Talked to DS and he sent me a different link to the credit app and it worked as expected. Heard from Tesla finance a few hours later and all is good.

I tired 3 different browsers and devices last night and same thing. Appears to be an issue on their side. I will try again this morning, fingers crossed!
