2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

Idea: How hard would it be for a 3rd-party to build a thin cover to the yoke center, which also connects to the horn button?

This would solve both the worm/vein problem, and allow us to hit the yoke center to sound the horn.

Amazing one has to think about or have to do this to a new $150,000 car. Just sayin’….

I believe Apple uses mp4 are just a file format, but there could be multiple codecs with the same file format, including a lossless codec. Do you know if Tesla supports Apple’s lossless codec?

I don't think tesla supports ALAC, only FLAC. Apparently, FLAC files aren't working in the new MS yet.

Mine are similar. I’m having service look at them next week. They said even if within spec they’d try to fix them to make me happy. Wonder how large a variance they allow. Mine are all over the place.

Thats good of em to do that. Hoping mine will be accomodating as well as Ive been there a couple of times including two tows!

Here are the photos promised. Front is really good quality, fit was perfect. Rear was a plastic replacement, quality looks good, but the curve wasn’t perfect, so the bottom of the “T” isn’t completely flat against the paint, though not very noticeable.

I also ordered a carbon fiber rear emblem from eBay, but haven't received it yet. Will update if I install it.

Looks great, thx for following up…ordering!

OK, 2nd driving experience after being out of town for 1 week only hours after taking delivery. Has anyone had alignment issues? I want to tell myself it's JUST me getting used to the yoke, but feel there is an ever so slight pull to the left. Anyone else?

+ 1 on the Dash Grill Dent
+1 on Yoke worm

Still giving a thorough look every time i head out

Samesies on dent and worm. I thought my alignment was off but it’s not. Give it a day or two because road camber can really mess with your head.

Can anyone confirm if this window trim is similar to yours? (Plaid S)
Doesn't seem match both sides and especially the front passenger side area. (Circle with green arrow) The arrow points to what feels like wires or something inside pushing out further than the rest of the trim.

 

[GroovaEV]

Is your back door trim also misaligned? The silver and wood/CF part where they meet the body of the car on the inside?

Nothing that I can tell. Is this the area you're referring to?

No, close the door and take a pic from the inside of both the door and interior part of the car...

Well great....another day another issue! Thank you(?)

Ugh...!

Sorry! Thank you for the pictures. To be honest, every single of them looks like this, so it is a design flaw that they haven't fixed yet. I don't really expect them too until early next year as they need to redesign the door or interior trim.

Thanks for the info. I'm going to pretend I didn't see it. I thought I could do the same about the little dent in the front dash grill, but it's proving hard to do.
I think I'm going to have to pick my battles with all the current issues I already have.
Appointment scheduled for this coming Monday.

I just never ever imagined I would spend this much on a car.
I must try to remember, it's just a tool, it's just a toy. annnnd repeat.

Can someone post a pic of the dent in the front dash grill? That seems like another one that's universal. I don't see one on mine, but maybe I'm missing it.

Would not surprise me. There have been a few discussions about it and my 2019 Model S had alignment issues upon delivery.

Where'd you get the white interior photo that is aligned properly?

It's omars but it isn't aligned either

Thanks! It is definitely not perfect, but way better than what is being delivered now.
