Aha! Awesome find .... how to enter service mode! I tried it. It was a little scary thinking I might screw something up. Awesome!

I think it has been a thing for quite a while, but the battery data made it worth a try...
This and the new energy display, I may never need SMT.

I did not state that honest people suffer abuse—re-read my comment.
It is reasonable for Tesla to offer incentives to encourage people to pay for additional features—many companies do this. Initially, at least, Tesla offered priority delivery for those purchasing FSD. When people abuse this incentive by gaming the system, it motivates the company to cancel the incentive, causing those who are honest (i.e. not gaming the system) to lose the opportunity for priority delivery previously available.

Think of Tesla and Musk as suffering from Idiot Savant Syndrome. They can build the world's most advanced cars but not realize that they need to have a sales group to sell them.

Ok, I'll bite ... Tesla doesn’t have sales people. It has product specialists who convey a brand experience. It’s a long way from haggling on the used car lot.

Selling them hasn’t seemed to be a problem

Not selling them to those that ordered them but instead putting them on display for someone else to buy has been an ongoing problem. If you don't have someone keeping track of orders you get this mess that buyers see.

Not keeping track of orders? You lost me. You mean the various inventory cars that don’t get sold under their preferred direct order sales model?

You can have any vehicle listed on this website transferred to your reservation/order… if you want to remove/add EAP/FSD that is easily done by the Tesla employee. Depending on how far the vehicle is from your area it may/not have a shipping fee. Plenty of MS cars available… inventory changes daily.

Don't get hung up on names as what matters is what people do. They are not giving away cars, they are selling them. It is dealership model that Tesla doesn't have. The "product specialist" is still in sales.

Exactly why a better sales organization is needed. If a someone already has an order in why do they need to monitor the site? Shouldn't that be done for them?Tesla buyers guides, worldwide inventory and support for owners

If you think sales is subpar, just wait until you have to get Service.
They won't even sell me over the counter parts.

Most of us order a car and expect to be notified when the car is ready in a reasonable amount of time, then go and pick up our new car. I've done this several times and it works quite well for other auto manufacturers. We don't expect that after placing an order that we have to check every hour of every day for over a year to see if what we ordered shows up in inventory and then need to submit a special request to get what we ordered. We don't expect that if we don't do this then someone else could place an order the same day and get the car that we had been waiting for over a year for.
Is this something you have encountered with one service center in particular? I have now purchased parts directly from Tesla SCs (all labeled for OTC sale in the parts catalog) with no issues at all from 3 difference service centers. They absolutely need a better interface for ordering parts than emailing [email protected] (or whatever your SC used for an email) though. It’s 2022, they can extend an online part ordering webpage to owners…
In addition, my big gripe is when they tell you the estimated delivery date when ordering is 10 months out and you order the car because that is when you need a new car. Then they contact you 2 months later to take delivery, and threaten to cancel and take your deposit if you don’t accept it in 30 days. It is completely BS. I’m all for them not allowing people to indefinitely extend an old order past the estimated delivery date, but we are talking about $100k+ cars, where people are trying to time things like financing, having a deposit ready, getting a new car at the end of a lease, etc.
Don’t tell someone “Hey, if you order now your car is estimated to be delivered in 10 months” then throw a fit and take their deposit a few months later. This has happened to people here.

It is for other manufacturers.

Car buying today is a totally different experience now ... for all car manufacturers. It'll never be the same.

So just had my yoke replaced for the second time. Previous revision was E, New one is G. The exciting part is that there is definitely a difference in feel of the airbag. The airbag for the revision E yoke felt absolutely solid in it's mounting. The airbag on the revision G yoke feels like its spring loaded with a 1/16-1/8" of travel. Feels very much like a button. Has no one noticed this?

This was one of the first things I noticed picking up my 07/22 Plaid compared to my 2021. The little horn icon faces the opposite direction too.
