My car had "window does not roll down" written on the rear passenger door when I inspected prior to pickup. At pickup, everything worked fine. It looks normal, but I cannot be certain. As @oktane mentioned, compare it to other cars. I did this with some gaps and found it to be consistent across several vehicles.

2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread
- Thread starter bmt00
- Start date
I just found a new problem on my car. My driver's window does not roll down fully with a full press. The passenger side works. It may have been there from the get go, because I only drove my car for a couple of days, then took it to be tinted, and could not roll down my windows for a few days after.
My Plaid is getting towed today because is leaking coolant from somewhere in the front. The car has a coolant error saying to take the car for service, reduced power error and stay under 93mph. This happened after coming back from a 800 mile trip. I am disappointed, the car has 1770 miles. The car has been great so far and I love it.
There’s an old reset method that may work. I think you roll up or down and hold button for five seconds. I’d look it up for you but about to board…..

Yup, have this, and this one car quirk is the most irksome. Its absolutely part of the HVAC system, and probably a coolant valve cycling? Doesn't make the sound with any of the other air dampers (adjusting direction, recirc, etc). Swinging to the extreme of temperature (HI, LO) to force a cooling/heating mode also makes it go away.
At least I'm not alone
It is (or was) roll them all the way up and hold the button in UP direction for several seconds to set/calibrate.
Just add another Plaid having the same issue. Thanks to bitjockey for the heads up. I've informed my service center and they're looking into it.
My VIN is in the 451800 range.

Yes. I just was planning to post an update. I spoke to my service advisor today and he told me the same thing. Hold down the button for 5 seconds, then hold it up for 5 seconds. Fixed it. The more you know...
This method works on literally all cars with auto sensing windows. It recalibrates the position limits

First time out in the cold (10°f) with my new S Plaid, it has so many interior rattles I feel like I'm driving my old Jeep XJ that had 250k miles on it. Ridiculous for a 130k car.

Try preheating/preconditioning.First time out in the cold (10°f) with my new S Plaid, it has so many interior rattles I feel like I'm driving my old Jeep XJ that had 250k miles on it. Ridiculous for a 130k car.
I am now starting to wonder how many Model S LR and Plaid are being delivered with problems that are left to the owners to deal with because there is no quality control, versus those owners who claim to have no issues. I understand that it is typical to only hear the complaints, similar to hotel reviews but rarely hear praise.. My delivery date is late Feb to late March and I am having second thoughts about getting to know service center personnel on a frequent basis..

ahhh... every one of them... ship the car. report the revenue to the street. let the SC and customer work out the kinks. Mine was darn close to perfect and all things resolved except for the BIG scratches under the air dam from offloading from the transport and to this day, the crinkles all around the upper side of the passenger seat trim. SC tried the 'steaming it out' method after keeping the car for a week and gave it back in worse shape. The story now is that it has escalated and 'will take weeks' which is insane. But I DO LOVE the car
Seems like the very simple solution is to just replace the darn seat! The defective seat could be returned and reupholstered for future exchange..ahhh... every one of them... ship the car. report the revenue to the street. let the SC and customer work out the kinks.

Yep you would think. What I was TOLD was that they kept the car for 5 days as a new seat was shipped. Then when I picked it up the SA actually told me to reject the 'repair' and said they tried to steam it out. It was worse than when I took it in. Far worse so I wondered why they didn't put the less than worse seat back in ..... I needed the car back after being in the shop for 7 days ( ABS light was on as well - connector pulled loose in the steering column) and he said they were 'escalating' and would take weeks. I am giving them four and then will start to escalate myself. Its not acceptable.
Is that when you are in reverse ? A few have reported (have the same on my LR too) a clunking sound when reversing out if a incline driveway.
Hey guys! Is it normal to see water seeping into the inside of the doors? It was raining today and these were what I found. It looks like it could get into the cabin if it's a heavy rain.  and there glue residues on the gasket on front doors and it peeled my window tint off :/
