So we bought a car with Active Noise Cancellation. It was a feature they sold the car on, so it is part of the price I paid. Now they are offering Road Noise REDUCTION. Can't help but to feel cheated here.

Did you buy two so you have a spare plaid ? Are you planning to keep both cars?

Its still labeled as Active Road Noise Reduction. From a marketing POV, this is a more exact description of what I would have expected the system to do in the first place.
Well, good thing you got in prior to the two $5k price increases lol

I was initially feeling the same, but after thinking about it road noise reduction is all I really wanted. They cant really cancel all noise from the outside or it would be unsafe to drive. I just want the car to be quiet while driving which is something no prior Tesla ive been in has been able to accomplish. I guess ill see when I get my car (if that feature is even enabled by then!).

I bought three, will keep two. the third one is delayed because of the white seats. will decide which two to keep later. So far, not liking the 19". The one on delay is 21" also. will just get winter tires/wheels and swap them out.
My LR White/Black with 19’s is supposed to be delivered between Aug 29 - Sept 4. Are the 19’s Summer tires and not All Seasons? Really prefer to have All Seasons in the NE Ohio area. I usually get winter tires too, but still like having All Seasons.
I always lease and this will be my car (my wife always pays cash). If I did buy this time and treated it like a lease and traded it in three years with around 55,000 miles, what would estimated worth be? When I look at Tesla website on used Model S, the used car values seem overinflated. I really prefer to lease, but not sure if it makes sense with Tesla. I know I won’t keep the car past three years, which is why I always lease and almost always BMW’s.

If that was true they would have banned stereos a long time ago.
Yes the 19" wheels are, sadly, summer tires. Really great for my Chicago area late-Nov delivery.
As for the lease, if I plug in a 3 year lease with zero down into Teslas website @15k miles (the max on the online tool) it comes out to $51,444 in lease payments. Some of that is interest, lets say 6k. So residual probably around 45k. I think the odds of your car being worth more than $45k at the end of 3 years are extremely high.

Especially if you gate a Plaid badge and a spoiler.
So for LR and for Plaid both..19's are summer tires?
I don't really give a s*** what they call it, as long as it can reduce the road / tire noise inside the cabin by say 20 to 30% that's what I'm looking for. Now if it turns out that it barely does anything then probably strike three for me honestly. But that's why you never buy a product based upon future promises of features, especially from a company like Tesla that's notorious for way over promising and way under delivering for things like this.
Regardless of the name change, I'm excited to see they updated the manual and the app to reflect the assets for this, hopefully that means we are very close to launch.
Don't worry... I'm sure the active road reduction will be labeled " beta " so that way if it's a piece of s*** they'll have an excuse like with everything else in the software lol

Just picked up my second Plaid. Same car except different wheels, 19" instead of the 21" wheels. I think it is correct, the tires are probably all season because they make more road noise. Noticeable. There are zero issues except they are now being delivered without any of the items in the trunk, the shelf and the two covers.
There is also more tire residue on the rear bumper. I didn't drive it as hard and it has more residue.It does come with 255/45 (104Y ) in the front and 285/40 (107Y) in the rear. R19 Pirelli PZERO Elect. Wasn't laughing the whole way home this time. Maybe I'm already used to it.
Here are my twins...

This is the first white I have seen with 19's. I would love to see some good photos of your car from the side showing those wheels. I would also love to see some photos without the wheel covers. Please??

I have a Eurocharged tune as well. Have had couple of warranty issues sorted out and the dealership never asked me about the tune.I had an aggressive Eurocharged tune on my original motor with separate EMS that MAY or MAY NOT have played a role in the 6 piston turning sideways.
MB didn't ask and I didn't tell.
The LR will indeed be my first EV.
MB is one of the most tune friendly car makers out there. In most cases, they are willing to look the other way.
@jebinc can you post some of yours? I know you have posted many around here in various threads.
Edit: here is a start @4SUPER9 August build - MS Plaid, w/ FSD and 19s (First Driving Impressions vs. my traded M3+)
Yup, I agree. A Mercedes dealer actually installed Renntech ECU tunes on 2 of my prior cars.
Some dealers are very mod friendly. Jack Daniels Audi in New Jersey installed downpipes and an ECU tune on my S8 back in 2015. Prior to P100Ds etc, I thought the S8 with a 3.2 0-60 was unbelievable
I'm surprised he didn't get in to the 9.1s. He only ran 9.26. Didn't he do better on the stock 21s?
