    Yikes, that's brutal. Def. SC it and send them the video ahead of time!

    Model S refresh rattles/creaks

    Just an update on my service appointment... and yeah, same fix that HX_Guy has, essentially. From the SC notes: Glad it's fixed. I still wish they had a "common squeaks reference" guide to not bother the SC.

    Model S refresh rattles/creaks

    I have my car scheduled to go into the SC in a few days, they want videos or any info on the rattles, I'm going to try to get some of that tomorrow. For me it's rear driver side creaking, plus an occasional sound that's almost more like suspension. If they had a do it yourself common creak and...

    Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 on Uberturbines- 265/35 & 275/35R21

    The week we took delivery we got a foot of snow around here and a lot of ice, we managed up and down hills, had a winter kit in the car, and never needed the chains (note: expensive chains for the 21's that's for sure). Slow and easy. I think for us we do a decent amount of winter sport -...

    2021 Plaid speaker specs?

    Agreed that it feels different than 3/Y! We have a '18 M3P and now a '22 MYP and the sound system feels louder... we're often in the 6-7 range in the '22 MSLR vs what felt like 4-ish on the 3/Y.

    4-5% discharges a day?

    Just as a data point... our new Model S has been at the tint/paint/PPF/etc. shop almost a week, it's only lost 2% SOC.

    Washington State: Model S Plaid/LR waiting room

    Similar here, took delivery last Thursday... 3: Same distortion, was wondering this! 5: We have some funky gaskets around the windshield wipers on the passenger side, not sure if similar or not.

    Washington State: Model S Plaid/LR waiting room

    Similar for us... I'm OK with the no-BS text to schedule and get delivery at home myself. I only received human-ish texts when they pulled our VIN or had to reschedule. Appreciate your approach, on the checklist, etc. I've had some of the same thoughts... buying past cars, I never looked...

    Washington State: Model S Plaid/LR waiting room

    Home delivery is super easy and straightforward. If you're comfortable with the product and how to use it, you'll be fine. We've taken home delivery of all 3 of ours and they were here about 5 minutes each time, usually calling an Uber/Lyft to zip back around the same time they drop the car. I...

    Compatible game controllers for 2022 MYLR

    Yes, this is confirmed. On the cars with only data on the glovebox they don't ship the game controller-only games. Somewhere else someone had a text message thread with a service center about this who offered lukewarm "maybe there will be a retrofit" or "maybe they will end up shipping the games".

    What are the chances of Matrix Led headlights to Model S in an order placed 1 days ago?

    Interesting... reading the current Model S owner's manual at Model S Owner's Manual | Tesla... Think this is for the overseas new deliveries? Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS) If equipped, the Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS) automatically adjusts the beam of the headlights to improve...

    Model Y Performance or Model S Plaid?

    Choose between a MYP and a MSLR, non-Plaid... save the $$$. We took delivery of both recently, replacing an '18 M3P, and both are zippy. The 2022 MYLR is faster than our M3P was and has the 'insane' acceleration instead of plaid, still plenty fine.

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Maybe they do just direct delivery? We traded our '18 M3P in for a '22 MYP a few weeks ago, and they just drove the new car to our condo in downtown Seattle, had me sign in, and then they drove off with my trade.

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    It's possible. I was originally quoted late 2022. They tried rushing me a matched car from Fremont in the last days of 2021, at which point I completed payment for a VIN. They ended up, due to weather, not shipping it all the way north, and they sold it for EOQ. They very clearly wanted to get...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Super happy with our new MS LR that we took delivery of today! Ordered 10/13/2021, delivered 3 months later on 1/13/2022. Our original delivery was estimated for May-June 2022, so this has been a nice surprise. Black exterior, white interior, 21's. No FSD. Minor rattle in the rear passenger...

    Not showing off, but... thankfully, we took delivery of our MS LR today in Seattle and it had *all the parts*. So, a good sign for the new year?

    Washington State: Model S Plaid/LR waiting room

    Took delivery this morning of my long range, super happy! Thanks for the positivity and support on this forum, good to know the pains we all have been through. Hopeful that you all see your rides soon, too, as the EDD's tighten up. Wrong angle for the sun here (horrible first outdoor pic)...

    Model S Refresh - heat pump comparison to older Model S

    Our 2022 Model Y is insanely loud when pre-heating compared to our 2018 Model 3... to the point where we had to tell our residential tower's concierges that when people report "someone left their car on", it's not an issue, and they can disregard. Expecting the same when our Model S arrives on...

    Mind sharing what the red flag was causing your particular rejection? Hoping there's nothing systemic in these batches or too EOQ-rushed.

    Washington State: Model S Plaid/LR waiting room

    Delivery just pushed from Tuesday to Thursday. Is that a euphemism for "damage" or "weather" or "Washington State is cut off from the rest of the country by road"? Hope it sticks.

    Washington State: Model S Plaid/LR waiting room

    The VIN just appears in the app and on the online Tesla Account... it then feels like 3-9 hours later that you get a text to schedule.

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    It's def odd. When I ordered, it originally said September 2022 as the EDD; a day later, it said April; then, end of quarter, they tried rushing a matched car from Fremont up to me, at which time I fully paid for it. I think the combo of a delivery & match almost happening and causing full...

    Washington State: Model S Plaid/LR waiting room

    Without any real insight, I think it's because they tried to rush a last-minute end-of-quarter delivery to me last week, maybe having produced a few extra on the line in that config randomly, and finding a west coast match, for which I completed payment. When they then realized with the weather...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    VIN NF464 just landed for me here in Washington State after our previous delivery and VIN was given to someone end of quarter in California instead. Hopeful this means its real.

    Washington State: Model S Plaid/LR waiting room

    EDD moved from Jan 8 - Jan 18 (slip this morning) to Jan 9 - Jan 15 just now. New VIN assigned. NF4647xx.

    Washington State: Model S Plaid/LR waiting room

    They're going to the rest of the country that's not the west coast. WA-OR-CA really do get the worst of it all as we only get slotted in the end of the quarters given the quicker transportation time.

    The Model 3 to Model Y Swap: An Attempt at a Cost Analysis

    We lucked out on our Seattle RTA tab renewals... technically our registration expired in early December, and Tesla took the trade-in 3 days expired, but the visible plate tabs were good through end of December. It's a major bummer we can't do monthly or a refundable portion for tabs in our...

    Compatible game controllers for 2022 MYLR

    The Xbox controllers for the past many years have a USB-C port on them; you can use that with the Tesla just fine. Confirmed today in our 2022 MYP - *glovebox* USB-A connection: Ancient wired Xbox 360 controller via dongle to USB-A Xbox One controller via USB-C to USB-A cable Brand new Xbox...

    The Model 3 to Model Y Swap: An Attempt at a Cost Analysis

    We just switched from a 2018 M3P to a 2022 MYP, with insane resale values now, our net cost was forfeiting the worthless FSD package that we chose not to get on the Y. So, great upgrade, so much more space, for $10k.

    Washington State: Model S Plaid/LR waiting room

    Washington's always had a particularly rough end of quarter experience. We had a M3P order last year around this time that kept getting pushed, eventually we just canceled once we were punted to the end of the following quarter for it. Most of us get "Tesla delivery experience amnesia" soon...

    Washington State: Model S Plaid/LR waiting room

    Yeah, that's my exact spec, hmm. Thursday the 23th is when they went into hyperdrive for me to agree to take delivery vs my original April estimate. I didn't want FSD but that's just a software bit on the order process now and they push it for all their direct sales.

    Washington State: Model S Plaid/LR waiting room

    Any chance you have a screenshot of it? Not sure if it shows the VIN or not... Tesla just pulled my VIN which was for a MSLR Blk/Wht and I was last told it was in Portland but my delivery was being pushed from 1/30 to 1/31 because of the weather. They pushed me hard to get power of attorney...

    Washington State: Model S Plaid/LR waiting room

    Oh interesting... I wonder at what point they pull the VIN out from under one of us and sell the car as fast as they can at the end of the quarter wherever the truck is (i.e. Portland).

    I wouldn't qualify for any credits, but for tax purposes the sales tax on the car has advantages.

    Compatible game controllers for 2022 MYLR

    Ugh. Just learned our new MYP is one of the hampered cars now where the only data USB plug is the one in the glovebox, and the USB-C throughout the car are for charging only. In other words... it's likely a lot of people's USB-C ports will work in a way ours didn't with the other controllers we...

    Washington State Waiting Room

    Quite fine, we were able to navigate most of downtown Seattle and get to the airport and back via 99/509. We'll be confident going to Snoqualmie and snowshoeing, but I'm not sure I would want to get too far from the highways or any truly deep snow with the low profile without true snow tires.
