I finally got my car yesterday March 24 after waiting 14 months. RN114429
Initially I was closing the frunk wrong. I was trying to slam it down and it would never close and then I watched a A Tesla video where they just push it all the way down and then when it’s resting at the bottom give it a nice shove at the bottom.My car arrived! View attachment 785793
Right off the bat however, it got some problems. Namely:
Aside from that though, everything else feels fantastic! I just don't look forward to needing to take it in for service
- The trunk doesn't close properly - requiring me to physically push it down. Link to video of trunk closing (it also makes spooky ghost noises that I'm unsure are intended lol)
- The frunk requires a stupid amount of effort to close, way more than my 3. (Unclear if this is a defect or if that's expected?)
- For both frunk/trunk, opening it makes it sound like it was forced closed so it opens semi-violently or makes a very loud snap/crack noise.
- Driver window squeaks a bit whenever it closes
- The missing parcel shelf (like everyone else)
- I had one instance of some really odd shuddering when I accelerated spiritedly, but that may have been the road/my imagination.
1168 orders in the Bay Area have recently been filled. Please make sure your order is complete in Tesla’s eyes. Search here what that means. You could probably even call Tesla and try to get matched before March 31. You will almost certainly not get a car in April. Your next window opens in June. Long waits in your area are rare but we have seen a few.
My Tesla service center let me keep my Summer tires when they installed the correct All-Seasons (so now I have a spare set of Pirelli summer tires if anyone is in the market for a set for a low price). I didn't notice a significant difference between the two sets in terms of noise or grip, but I hadn't driven with the summer tires all that long, and was being pretty careful because it was cold here in Nebraska! In the long run, I know I'm much better off with All-Seasons for our winter months here.
Thanks! Order is complete, just waiting on Tesla. I had delayed my order once due to me being out of state when they were ready for me (End of December)
Yes sir! NF475. Sorry man, it’s been a long wait…. Lol
Totally uninformed on this but I’ll speculate. Tire insurance covers nail damage. New tires from a tire shop come with basic insurance that covers a short period of certainly longer than 3 days. I would like to argue that tires on a new car come with this same basic coverage from the dealer. OK let the shots start…
Some tire stores will fix a flat for free as a gesture of good will so you’ll buy your next set from them. And last time I had one done, they insisted on plug and patch as the safest way to repair. Their machines are pretty good these days at preventing scratches on the wheels.
Unfortunately the screw was too close to the sidewall and two tire stores said it could not be patched or plugged. Only place with the same tire in stock was Tesla and because I did not want to drive on it, I had to buy a new tire. $553 at Tesla but the customer service at Agoura SC was great and got me in even though they were slammed with other repairs.
I'm from WA state and I also have 1151RN . When I ordered, it was 79990 just like your with no add on. Suck waiting
No tire place will plug from outside.
