My battery needed to be replaced, for a completely different reason and it took exactly 2 weeks.
This is the kind of content we've been missing for a while here, but what this thread was built upon. Well done.
I count rougly 400 MS's sitting there collecting dust. One would figure they could at least salvage parts if the cars are otherwise toast. I wonder if they are devoid of battery packs?
I tried to capture a screen shot of the X's and zoom in. I could not tell if they had yokes or not.
@Emiller here are my cliff notes - a compendium of various interior treatments recommended by various posters…I cannot endorse any yet.
- To clean interiors, Dihydrogen Monoxide works well. Best you blow out the interior and lightly dust with damp MF. I like to use distilled. I tried a expensive interior cleaners, they left streaks in black panels. Cleaned it up with Meguiars Final Inspection.
- For cleaners, my research tells me that, yes baby wipes (great for cleaning on the fly), but for regular cleaning either Griot's Garage Interior Cleaner, or 303 Cleaner
- For protectant, the #1 recommendation on this forums has been Aerospace 303 Protectant. [note that I have purchased but not yet used this product]
- Gtechniq triclean… smells all chemically clean and fresh too.
mine Phoenix, AZ, close to Kondo's city. Ordered Mid May, MSLR/Red/Black/19/FSD- but EDD Nov 4-24, don't understand Tesla's EDD algorithm..
Wood Trim is gone on all the Plaid configuration if anyone hasn't noticed

After 1 year of waiting I finally got a VIN assigned. Lets see how long that lasts.

Very exciting news and certainly a step in the right direction. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!
What was your most recent delivery window and do you recall when it updated to that window?

Curious about the build date of my LR:
I received my car on Sept 23rd (LR) but it seems to be one of the lowest VIN# that was delivered.
MF430XXX and it says that the car was built in May 2021.
Why would they wait 4 months if the car was built in May?
Any idea or thoughts?

If you are happy with the car it doesn’t matter when it was built.

Yeah, the build quality is very good (except some minor issues here and there) but the main issue I'm facing is with the AP. Cameras are still calibrating after driving 700 miles.
I have an appointment tomorrow. Hope they are able to fix it.
Reset the calibration and go for a straight drive, on a well marked road (If you are near one). Each time I have seen camera calibrate, has taken less than 15 miles.

I wish I had the photoshop skills to put one or all of the dusty teslas in this planet of the apes still…

I seriously figured they’d export them. But yeah, something has to be pretty serious. I’m they didn’t strip and repurpose them, or use as fleet vehicles or sokething. Maybe they are there to help the sand build up so they can plant crops.

WHOAH GUYS CHECK OUT THESE 1/2 MILE RACES!!! The Plaid pulls that modded Turbo S really well until it hits the wall that is that 163 mph limiter. 200 mph can't come soon enough! Another thing to note is the major grip difference between the 19" White Plaid vs. the 21" Red Plaid. The 19" steadily claws its way ahead of the Turbo S really well, but the 21" solidly walks away, and is launching hard enough to beat the Porsche that's traveling 16 mph higher than the Plaid at the end of the race. Sure there could be SOC differences and other factors, but this lines up perfectly with my theory, and shows for sure the difference between the 2 wheels on a non-dragstrip surface.
