    Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

    Thanks for sharing your story. I doubt the SA has any idea whether the delay is a few days or a few weeks so I wouldn’t put much stock in that. I am curious what VIN you were assigned and what your configuration was. I just received a VIN this morning. 7SAXCBE66NF338xxx MXP 6 Seater...

    Ok sports fans….enough already with charger-gate. Let’s call it a misdemeanor, not a felony and just move on to other things please. “What other things?”, you ask? Well, how about I got VINned this morning. 7SAXCBE66NF338xxx EDD had been April 25 - May 15 prior to the VIN dropping this...

    EDD now April 25 - May 15 for MX P MSM/Wh/20”. Was April 17 - May 8 then moved to the generic July 2022 along with most everyone else and this morning moved to April 25 - May 15 with no VIN. We shall see.

    Howdy folks. I haven’t been active on the forum since my MS LR (finally!) got delivered a month ago. My MX Plaid (MSM/White 6-seat 20’s) order was on hold because I was traveling when I was matched to a VIN in Feb so I had to pass at that time. Took off hold mid March and went to July EDD...

    I got these…… https://martianwheels.com/products/19-mw05-forged-wheels-for-tesla-model-s-plaid-set-of-4 I love the way the look. Several strong reviews on YouTube. I went with 19’s in gunmetal. They offer 20’s and also a satin black. Anyway, I can’t comment on range yet bc I haven’t had a...

    Now, in your situation I probably would stick with the OEM bracket (remove, PPF, replace). The snap plate looks kinda goofy but complies with all local laws and ordinances. Then you hide it in your trunk til next time you need to avoid a ticket.

    Snap plate has a design that is fitted for our model. https://everyamp.com/shop/snapplate-model-s-2021/ If you plan to leave the plate on all the time then I’d probably leave the OEM bracket which is attached with adhesive because it’s a cleaner, better integrated appearance (but still not...

    They should not charge you for those tires. To put it differently, Don’t let them charge you! However, we are so close to Springtime (or am I just too optimistic?)! I’m not a fan of the Contis. The appearance, noise level, treadlife never seemed as good in my experience as Michelin. (I also...

    Thank you. You are absolutely right that the Pirelli P Zero tires are unsafe for driving in the northeast at this time of year. (I did sneak in one little trip on the rare 60 degree day last week). I am not worried about the warranty. I’ve never tried to collect on a tire company’s warranty...

    You have a good eye! Yes, the trim piece on the driver side door is attached with adhesive and I pressed it back into place, although I may ask service department to re-do the adhesive bc it should adhere better than that. This was really the only material misalignment or fit/finish issue.

    I just picked up my black/black car a couple weeks ago. i opted for front PPF plus lower rockers and rear fenders. Also did a couple applications of ceramic and front mud flaps. I felt like that was pretty cost-effective given that I’ve had a few Tesla’s and it does seem like the paint they use...

    I took delivery a week or so ago and dropped the car off for front PPF plus lower rockers and rear fenders as well as a couple applications of ceramic….and….installed Martian forged wheels. I really like the way it came out…my photography skills are pretty weak but here are a couple pics...

    I’m also toying with the idea of over investing in my car and doing a wrap of some sort…..I saw this which I think is what you’re looking for…. Good luck deciding and POST PHOTOS whatever be your decision!

    The powder coated wheels are from another member’s post of a while back. I was considering going that direction so I had saved that photo. I do not yet have my car, but I just scheduled my pickup for next Friday Feb 11! FWIW, I decided to go with the forged Martian Wheels which have been...

    Thanks. Yeah….It’s not giving me that “we can call you back and you won’t lose your place in line”. Their live chat online is showing that I am 54th in the queue to get connected from the bot to a live chat person….I guess I’ll see how that goes.

    Anyone have a phone number at DCU that someone actually picks up? Their rates are great but I haven’t been able to speak with a human over their to figure out how I’m supposed to get the cashier’s check since they approved me last week. Any suggestions appreciated.

    Questions for the brain trust on the much-hoped-for matrix headlights and tail refresh….. Do we have any authoritative confirmation that the Taiwan pics showing the headlights, tail refresh and CCS port mean that MS production for all markets will have this? Could any or all of those changes be...

    So, yesterday I entered my EDD range of Jan 8 - Feb 5.

    There should be no penalty for repaying your loan early. If you’re anxious to get the new car then you could just finance it and plan to repay the loan in part or in whole shortly after you sell the other car. Just a thought.

    Your car looks awesome @Louiedog! Can you give the details of the detailing (so to speak)? Is that ceramic only (no PPF)? Which ceramic coating? How many applications? Did you do windows? Headlights? Cost? Did you have them do “paint correction” or leveling first? Whatever your derailing shop...

    I had not contacted my SA since September so I decided to ping them yesterday. Here’s the text exchange in case it’s of interest. “ Hi [SA]. How are you? Hello [rdmdriving] I am well, how are you?! Glad to hear you’re doing well [SA]. We’re also doing well, thanks. I was wondering if...

    Well, @Mitchll, I’m not a moaner here by any means, but I can think of some reasons why Tesla might want to make some changes. Tesla apparently relies on an EDD-assignment algorithm that is outputting very poorly correlated data. For all the much-deserved praise of Tesla’s industrial...

    That’s a good approach too @Hayseed_MS. Where did you get the new type TPMS? Gotta link?

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    I believe that range on MW-05 forged 19” wheels which are almost 4lbs lighter per corner will extend range, but I do not know yet and for me that wasn’t a driver of my decision (no pun intended). Range is a function of a bunch of aerodynamics. For me the plastic Tempest wheel cover was a non...
  34. rdmdriving

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Yes I believe you’re right that the TPMS will work but if you order a wheel/tire package you will need to un-mount and then re-mount the tires to get the TPMS valve stem in there. Then you’ll have a 19” set of Tempest wheels without TPMS to sell or to store.

    Surely smarter folks than I will chime in, but FWIW…. The TSportline packages are a good, turnkey solution to put a ready to go good seasonal wheel replacement (winter or AS). I bought a TSportline 20” square setup (I.e. all 10” width) for my 2021 MYP with AS tires to replace the staggered 21”...

    I don’t have any advice for you per se, but I thought I’d just share a thought.

    EDD bumped back to Dec 6 - Dec 20 (was holding steady at Nov 24 - Dec 6 for the past couple weeks). Well, at least that increases the odds that I’ll get the new Martian Wheels before delivery. (It took me a while to find something positive to say about the EDD monkey messing with me right...

    Tesla rep reached out by email and text yesterday. When I got an email from someone named Nikola at Tesla I thought it might be a joke….but apparently not.
