@Hayseed_MS Yeah, I know. Not a “calling card” I would want!

What's going on with your car?

Nothing major. Just the issues from delivery that I’ve been waiting to get resolved for months. Impossible to get a service appointment and once you finally do get your car in, it just sits there with no work done for 5 days, which makes you question of why are you being inconvenienced without a car if nothing is being done.

The driver seat makes loud crunching/creaking plastic sound when you lean against it, or when you’re turning the car and your upper body rolls against the seat… and the stuff from the pictures attached.

Question to those who already taken delivery of their Model S - were the key fobs given in a packed box or in opened condition? Mine given in open condition, so would like to know if that is the way it works. The cards were in a sealed pack though.

@Hayseed_MS Yeah, I know. Not a “calling card” I would want!

Today on the range working with a client, he said something that demanded a “that’s what she said”, ( PDubs, your shaft is too stiff for me”)

I responded and I quote, “ BILL PRICE”.

He was clueless, but it made me smile.

Open condition with PPF on top.

What do you expect for $150,000, @Ramphex … a car that doesn’t look like a $15,000 Yugo?!

 

[aerodyne]

They had my car for 5 days, sitting out in the sun, dirty, in the parking lot, and solved 0 issues. To make the matters worse, they left the doors unlocked. The car literally didn’t move from the parking spot since I dropped it off. They were asking for another day until 5pm tomorrow and I told them to just give me the car back if they’re not going to do any work. I can’t continue to use “Uber Credits” to get to work and back, and I highly don’t appreciate my car baking outside in the sun for days with doors unlocked while they do 0 work on it. On top of that with Thanksgiving, I’m sure they would get nothing done for another several days. How can someone come up with excuses for this? Not even a “parts were ordered and we’re waiting for them to come in.” They legit did not do anything at all for 5 days.

Well, you know what Elon said...

"The best service is no service"

Well, many would say we are certainly getting that - No service!

My favorite things is the creepy fake woman recording when you call in and sit on hold saying " every Tesla is designed to minimize maintenance, so you'll spend more time on the road and less time in the shop"

Feel like reading the stuff here, nothing could be further from the truth.

I'm going to have that image of that guy shoving back a trim piece in a $100,000 car engraved in my memory forever lol.

You actually get put on hold? My calls go straight to VM, which is always full.

Debatable if the designers aim for minimum maintenance. But they aren't built that way in some cases.

Well, I almost missed it. Got a VIN today. Details in sig. I won't have to hate Leo much longer.

 

[DukeofURL]

hahaha I totally got that wrong! Where do I buy the pass for Early Access program? any costco deal available?

Apparently it's kind of a weird deal. @DukeofURL can better elaborate on this, as he had first hand experience. It's not like you sign up apparently.

Yeah… when Tesla doesn’t have enough people in the early access program, they send an email out inviting people to join, in which you promise not to tell people what’s in the software you test. The agreement is suspiciously close to the manifesto in Fight Club.

Also, not everyone in EAP gets every release. They decide who gets what and where, and it’s about the least transparent process that can be, but it is what it is. I’m pretty sure emails to [email protected] go to a black hole… or maybe they occasionally get read by interns? Haha, who knows.

To add to the list, rear view mirror doesn’t dim. Driver dome light doesn’t turn off with a press (but does turn on ), have to toggle it through the menu to turn off. Rear driver side door handle doesn’t come all the way out so the light shines inside the door panel instead of the ground. All handles make a humming noise after extending.

These are my floor mats. The quality is amazing. Ordered from Teslarati. They say 2020-2021, but another guy has them in his new refreshed Model S

[lbowroom]

Yes........it's for both 2021+ models of X and S. So if you don't have an X or S that was born in 2021, ANC is not going to work in your magnificent car. Doesn't that adjective apply to all models?

Sorry Bill. I have a Plaid with 40.6. No ARNC

I’m convinced the beta button for FSD exists because the intern they had manning the FSD request inbox had to go back to school.

Every couple of days, I must ask…. Anyone take delivery of a 2022 Plaid or S? We all want to know if anything is different from the outgoing 2021?!

Is 22 a thing already? Took a delivery of MY and it still showed up as 2021 despite the build sticker being October 2021
