Did you just pickup the Tesla? It could be a factory firmware and it will update to 2022.X in a few weeks.

Picked it up a week ago but it just updated today to the 2021 version which I thought was weird that they did not just update to the current version.

Interesting. Do you have your update preference set to advanced? I'm on 2022.4.5.1.

I picked up the car in the dark and did not notice all the issues until later, I will setup a service visit when I get time to try to fix all of these issues.
It could be a bump from one factory version to another. Not unheard of, but definitely odd. You will get to 2022.X in a few weeks. That is typical pattern of software updates from Chevron post delivery.
I picked up my '22 MS-LR on 2/12 and it was also running 2021.43.101.2. As of about 2 hours ago, it updated to 2021.43.201. I bet we'll get 2022.x.x in a couple weeks. That said, my MS is having all sorts of software bugs. My SiriusXM app will frequently just disappear and after about 15m of driving, reappear. I have a service appt. scheduled for mar 8 so assuming I don't see improvements by then they'll be working to resolve.
Plaid is build quality is disaster, found, in addition to discovered on delivery:
- Yoke buzz! I though it is air in vent make noise, but when I get close to left side of yoke - no doubt, noise come from yoke.Very nasty noise. Sounds like transformer is shaking.
- Hatch is off, same as here 2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread
Only 700 miles, waiting for vibration issue under acceleration.
In general, car is far far from perfect, frustrated.
IMO Tesla production sucks, tesla service is sucks too.

The strange part of the yoke noise is that when you first get in the car in the morning, the noise won't be there. You can drive the car and it won't show up until you hit a button.
Exactly! I reproduced it by clicking turn button, but even wo driving, in park mode.

It gets better in the newer software releases. I haven't had the app disappear in a while but instead just won't tune the station I want. It may be a reception issue. Sometimes when I get in it starts playing FM or an Internet station instead even though it was XM when I left.
I ran your test - yep, buzz just as you describe. No buzz from the 17" screen, though. I'm on 2021.44.30.10.
I have never heard the buzz in my yoke.
September’21 build Plaid MS.
Just ran the test and absolutely silent.
I have seen the erratically flickering icons a number of times. First time I brought it in, early on, they “reset the module “
At that time they told me if the flickering reoccurred that they would replace the yoke.
I did report reoccurrence and they ordered me a new yoke as a “proactive measure”
My car was in service today and they had planned to install the new yoke while my car was in getting a service bulletin part replacement. Frunk wake-up wire.
I feared that I would get a yoke that would have the buzz, so I asked them not to replace it and I felt confident that the flickering would eventually get resolved via a firmware update . They were fine with that.
Here’s the work that was done on the recall or service bulletin whatever it was.…

Mine arrived with no noticeable panel gaps, paint was also perfect as far as I could see. It even included all floor mats, trunk covers and all other accessories.
Two minor issues found at delivery. Driver’s side vanity mirror light didn’t work, fixed on-site. There was also a ding in the wood trim above the glove compartment. Service tick entered to replace it.
Since then the only other problem I’ve found is that the light in the bottom storage compartment in the center console goes off when the sliding door is completely open. Otherwise everything is great.

Common issue.
Plaid center console light turns off when fully opened?
I noticed in my new Model S Plaid the center console light turns off if you fully open the sliding lid. Is this expected behavior? Intuitively the light should turn off when the lid is fully closed, and light should turn on when half-closed or fully opened
