I’m not disputing that the door rubs. It’s obvious that it does. However the hinge mechanics are the same for everyone. I would expect the door to be inset or offset on depth for that to happen but it doesn’t appear to be.
So, yeah, now they're telling me "mid-Oct - mid-Nov." Gee, where/when have I heard that one before?
It could happen, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's pushed out further. Still not understanding why, since we're hearing about more white on white/cf MS Plaids getting VINs and being delivered? Whatever. Tesla just blew out quarterly sales numbers (which of course didn't include so many of our cars we ordered many months ago but anyhow), blah blah blah...hope the stock goes up 50+ pts on Monday...but I doubt it. The cars are amazing, but the company is soooooooo f'ed up!
FWIW, it seems like most ppl that have been on this TMC thread for several months are now gone, enjoying their new MS Plaids/LRs after taking delivery, lol. So, as you know, there are a few of us still here...waiting patiently for our cars..."hello, Tesla...did you hear that?" ....crickets...crickets...
I’m still here! Hang in there buddy. The wait is well worth it. I picked up my Plaid then left town for five days. I haven’t had much time to enjoy it, but I keep looking at the pic I took of it before I left town. So sad. Like a lost dog or something. My wife’s gonna’ be pissed when I get home and run straight into the garage and hug my car.
It is kinda’ sad to see less and less people on this thread as they finally get their deliveries and move on. Oh well. It was inevitable, I suppose. Until the next refresh comes out then. That’ll fire this thread right back up.
Based on the rub marks, I think the only reason the gap is bridged is because of the elevated paint bubbles. I think no bubbles would equal no rubbing. I haven't really tested my hypothesis on the passenger side door though so I could just be blowing smoke
I want my car already, but there’s a benefit of being less of a beta tester between software updates and at least some reported improvements in fit and finish. I hope.
I think he said that the guy who hit him is a personal friend. In California, it’s the law to report an accident if the damages exceed $1,000. I guess he’s giving him a break.
Audi, Mercedes and Porsche will welcome you with open arms. Vote with your wallet…and your feet.
head to head EQS vs. S perspective will be valuable!
I just looked up Rhode Island. Similar law. Must report within 21 days. He may have time.
Depends. What are you driving? And how fast? Also how low you willing SOC to be on arrival?
Should be easy. Leave with max trip charge, keep your speed reasonable. Even if pushing it a bit, you should arrive with at least 10-20% remaining. Driving 75 the entire time, you should easily get more than 300 miles.
On a 100% charge you should be good for at least 350 miles on the LR with 19s based on my experience with the X LR. So unless you have seen empirical battery performance relative to range in your S LR that makes you nervous about achieving at least 300 miles, I would go for Jackson with a 100% fill up prior to departure. Should the dark clouds open the heavens on you for insufficient piousness you can always hit a public charger or a 120/240v outlet!
MS LR With 19’s. I’ll probably average 70 mph because most of the trip is not freeway. I’m willing to go to 15%.
I average 276 w/m. What makes me nervous is that there are NO public or level 2 chargers to fall back on between Little Rock and Jackson.
Think of this as a great way to confront your range anxiety...face your fears! Me thinks you'll be quite fine.
