Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[AMGF]

Beautifully put. There are very few fair and unbiased news coverage outlets and articles now, as anything Tesla that is negative seems to get crazy clicks. Amazing how the media that once wholeheartedly supported Tesla is indifferent at best, and borderline hostile at worst in today's time.

I noticed the same thing where I live. Car experts on the radio suggesting all other brands except Tesla. Car press praising the new MachE with no nodge to the Y. Radio bashing EV cars one morning only to praise the new Chevy Bolt the next.

This is happening everywhere. This is what marketing money will do. Bash Tesla, praise whoever pays your bills. Journalistic integrity went awol a long time ago.

I’d try snd get closer to what you have into it and not eat the tax.

if I had to wager I think the LR will hold up considerably better on the secondary market. It’s nearly as fast as the outgoing performance model, better everywhere else (suspension, interior, etc)and the same price bracket. There’s just a lot of buyers in that range.

As much as I love the plaid, my biggest gripe is it just doesn’t feel “special “ to me. It’s undoubtedly amazing in a lot of ways, but personally wish for the price, it had more differentiating features.

Well, I think you have your answer then. It’s an emotional decision and emotion trumps logic every time. Doesn’t matter one bit, it’s your money. But I can’t quite picture what advice the forum could give that would influence your decision.

EXACTLY! Especially since Tesla doesn't pay for advertising, they have no benefit to portray them in a positive manner. So they do the opposite............

I have FSD, not sure how that's related to the Audio

Edit: Last night I spent some time listening. The sub portion of audio is significantly boosted by this new slider. If there's a 2nd sub, I wouldn't be surprised. The garage door was closed so I didn't want to open the hatch and inspect.
The car definitely picked up a few rattles with very bass heavy audio tests with the new slider. So this new slider has presented some problems in my deck lid. Im going to have to chase down the rattles in the deck lid now lol

@Muzzman1 I have FSD also. No Sub slider and no haptic feedback improvements after my 2021.32.5 load three days ago. Yes, I rebooted....

Man... I was 3 hours away from taking delivery after waiting a year, now I'm wondering if my car was washed away and I have no idea if or when I'll be able to get it...

So close

Yea the rain last night was unbelievable. If the car washed away, I’m sure Tesla can locate it with no problems ha.

You serious rn? If so man, that's kinda mean. For the record, I DO NOT pass out endorsements freely. He is legitimately good. As people here may be able to tell, I cannot stand people who don't know their stuff, or who are repeatedly wrong.

Good Morning!

To anyone who has taken delivery, are the vents able to actually direct airflow? So does the air actually blow where you set it according to the screen? Just curious as I'd imagine the "invisible" vents limit this in ways.

Those wheels look great !!


Do you recommend the Uniden R7 ? Or the Escort Max ? I definitely need one of those in this car

Uniden R3 is very good, and more affordable.

I didn’t ask for advice lol Think you have me confused with the other poster.

I was told that bots cannot perceive superciliousness?

Dynotest
Do tell please

Open up controls, tap on software, press and hold on "Model S" for about 10 sec then release. Type "dynotest" into the subsequent dialog box and it unlocks a bunch of diagnostic screens. I am pretty sure this was left open by accident, so expect it to go away soon. Usual disclaimer: don't do this, you can screw up your car, look, but don't touch, etc.

Ooops, yep…my apologies!

In the Plaid I sat in, as well as the M3, the vents direct airflow by just blowing harder in some areas. For example: if you want the airflow going up, the bottom flow of air blows harder. This pretty awesome piece of engineering actually works quite well.
