They send you enough junk and "we miss you like a stage five clinger ex-significant other" mail that you should be able to get it even lower than that. I feel like they run like the gym model - people subscribe, pay and forget about it. Never using it and never cancelling. Hell I still get "come back to us" mail for a truck I owned three vehicles ago.

2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread
Just charged my 21" Plaid to full to see what's up. It went to 95%.... and then just went straight to 100% without charging anything...! I've apparently lost 10% range given 348 is rated, and 318 is what is reported. No idea if this is a software issue or what's going on. Not to mention my...

I have not seen the replacement wood yet. If smooth and not split I would be happy with it.

Where do I find that scheduling pathway? I have no clue.
Please be better prepared next time.This is like the third time someone said that, even though the story shows I don't have the pics.
You'll get an email letting you know you can schedule. It only happens after you have a VIN and after the VIN is being transported to the delivery center.

I used to think that it was a waste of money. I decided to try it on my pre-refresh 2021 S to protect an expensive car that I expected to keep for many years. I got fulll body PPF and I'm never going without it again for a car in this price range. In the process of getting it on my Plaid now.

I bought two rolls of that stuff a month ago. In my opinion, it's terrible. Will throw put both rolls. Thin and the adhesive slightly discolored my ceramic coating, where it was applied. YMMV.
I would drive to the local service center and talk with them since you already know them. Do you have the direct phone extensions for them?
I’m simply planning on using it to get from SC on delivery to the PPF shop…track wrap is only for short-term use.
Can they do anything since I'm taking delivery in Scottsdale? Feels like one of those "Not our problems, you should call Scottsdale" for them.
I was actually considering driving up to Scottsdale to beg and even offer my license/insurance papers so a family member could take delivery with my permission. Even with the four hour roundtrip drive it'd be worth it.

Ok. I have the VIN. Figure the car will be on the road tomorrow, coming to SoCal.
I'm on the opposite path. I used to add it to all my cars...Porche's , MB's, McLaren, etc. It seemed critical to me. Then 6 months later I'd give away $6000-$7000 worth of PPF and get basically no return on it. Then with my pre-refresh SLR I thought well, screw it, I'm not doing it. I had some chips and whatnot, but it certainly did not hurt the resale value of the car and if I didn't inspect it super closely then I'd never even notice. I've probably, no exaggeration, given away $30k+ of PPF over the last 6-7 years. That's a LOT of paintwork that could have been done if I needed to.
Now with my Plaid I skipped it too. I'm 7000 miles in so it's too late. The car looks fine. Yep, there's some chips and whatnot, but at this point, whatever. It doesn't hurt that I own a touch up paint company, so I'll use it to make some videos too.
I think there were reports of people sending a proxy. Tesla essentially says "if you trust them to pick it up, we will release it". But worth confirming such.

Sex starved guys? Who wants pics when a video may be available? Gimme the video!!This is like the third time someone said that, even though the story shows I don't have the pics.

Been that way for years. At least AFAIK it's been present on mine.
Definitely was not on my 2019 Raven S LR. Lowering the sound with a door open, yes. But not speed sensitive.

I'm glad I scrolled down and read the rest of the posts before replying to the obvious lob.

That's TOTALLY strange? Of course I could be wrong, but I'd almost swear it was present when I first bought my 2018. But I'm POSITIVE it's been present for at least a year on my car if not more. Could be due to updated firmware, but I would think you would have that by now?
