I ordered mine with yolk because there wasn't an option for round wheel then . It looks kool but not practical. If the turning radius /speed is affected in such a way that you aren't reaching constantly when turning in a parking lot or sharp turns i would have kept mine so i got the round wheel installed and it feels like a brand new car i love it
My 2023 Plaid S is my 8th EV and has more strange noises than any prior EV. One frequent cause of low frequency reverberations I found on a forum was due to rear hatch rubber skewers not being adjusted even close so the rear hatch across l acts like a subwoofer. Another distinct vibration I feel through the pedals at lower speeds (only some of the time) is due to the condenser which runs even when climate control is off to heat or cool battery etc... I'm slightly annoyed by rattles/creaks in door/ dash inside a once-$100k+ car but that power now only bested by a 2.7x cost Sapphire makes up for it.
Tesla should give us the option to change to wheel for no cost. I’ll pay a fee for labor.
Is there actually updated tuning for handling? I was out in the countryside today and engaged track mode and it transformed the car, suspension, handling - wow. I forget what a weapon it is with it enabled in Race preset, but I don’t have the track package.
Yes, they updated track mode when you get the track pack brakes. Don't know if they've done anything with the non-track pack brake cars.
Can you show a source for an updated track mode handling when you have the track pack brakes?
I feel like there’s some confirmation bias there. I feel like Tesla would have said something if it were the case. It’s also possible the software had been tweaked before this person drove with the specific track brakes. All I can say is when I used Track Mode yesterday it’s like a completely different car in terms of ride comfort and how flat the car keeps in the curves, not to mention the much greater regen etc. I don’t have the track pack, as mentioned, and I’m very, very skeptical about any handling improvements beyond what everyone gets. It doesn’t really make sense, if you think about it.
On one hand I agree with you. On the other hand, they might have tweaked some things if they raised the top speed limiter to 200 mph. There were reports that the car felt somewhat unsettled at about 170 previously.
