Nothing a little tire shaving won't fix, or you could let nature take it's course. Normally, I'd say the control arm will win over the tires, but this is Tesla, and we know how they struggle with suspension components....For those of you wanting to put non OEM size tires - see this - 19" OEM front diameter is 28.1” and 21" OEM front diameter is 28.3"… my 20" aftermarket tire diameter is 28.5”… I have barely 4mm left before the tire fouls with the upper control arm!
I'm worried about them pulling ferris bueller. Even with the speed limiter locked, they could still keep it in plaid and 50mph is still fast enough to get into trouble. There should just be an option to lock it in chill mode. I'm not worried about it getting stolen or them having access to the glove box or frunk. Is there a setting they need to access that valet mode would lock them out of for a tire change?
I know they're going to say they need to test drive it after the tire change. Funny how the only cars that need a test drive are the fast ones. My slow cars were never tested.
First off, congrats on your upcoming pickup! Ok so usually it's best to leave the card with a shop. Won't be as scratched if dropped vs. that gloss black fob.Tesla Noob question...
If all goes well with my pickup today, will be bringing my new S to the body shop tomorrow for ceramic coating. When you do something like this, what kind of key do you leave with the shop? The Fob? The card? Do you put the car in valet mode ahead of time?
Also I think I read in Mpuntain Passnperformance’s blogs that they’re coming up with a replacement control arm for bigger diameter tires that will be interesting.Nothing a little tire shaving won't fix, or you could let nature take it's course.

Not again. Are you kidding me with this?@Pdubs I think you got the wrong @2021plaid ...
Post 999... It's delivery day. 8 months and 26 days from my original excitement of ordering. It's been a long journey. Many have gotten my but thanks for this forum for keeping me somewhat sane during this crazy journey. From ordering, production delays, looking up permits, speculations on when first deliveries would ever start, complaining about many others taking delivery first, watching endless flyover videos from @gabeincal, the crazy amount of time wasted here, too much time...
Hopefully my next post will be after I pickup a perfect Model S (we'll see about it being perfect ha) and post 1000 on will be about the next chapter of the journey.
A day before me. Mine got pushed to tomorrow from yesterday. Have a beautiful day man. Can’t wait to hear about it!@Pdubs I think you got the wrong @2021plaid ...

Today is my pickup day too, after a very, very long wait. Aside from the nearly a year on order, it’s been my dream car for the past decade. Hope it all goes smoothly as well, though there would have to be MAJOR problems to not take it home today.@Pdubs I think you got the wrong @2021plaid ...

I would recommend you have a smoke or take a Librium before you go. Will help!@Pdubs I think you got the wrong @2021plaid ...

Is this a fact or speculation?Eventually, all white seats will be cream colored. Why wait? Get it now, before they go the way of the wood trim on the Plaid...
Congratulations @modizzle I hope your delivery goes smoothly. One reason valet mode may not work is that really good PPF goes around and under the edges of the panels. To do this they need trunk access. I’ve heard from others than the speed limit setting enables chill mode, but this is unconfirmed and I suspect untrue. I plan to leave a FOB when I do mine. But set the speed limit setting. I wish there was a clear way to lock the car in chill mode. Have to believe that this will be useful especially for families that allow their teenage sons to borrow the car!First off, congrats on your upcoming pickup! Ok so usually it's best to leave the card with a shop. Won't be as scratched if dropped vs. that gloss black fob.
And yes, if I were you, I would enable Valet Mode if they don't specifically need glovebox or frunk access.
Here is a useful description of Valet Mode, and I'm sure most if not all of these things will apply to the new S:
Tesla Valet Mode: How It Works
When drivers activate the valet mode is activated, Tesla’s operating system will trigger a number of restrictions on the vehicle’s functionality.www.hotcars.com
BruhIs this a fact or speculation?
I ultimately decided on white, but cream was very close - so if I was limited to cream, I would have been just about as fine with it anyway, but just wondering if this is musing or info - thanks!
It was a new platform, new electronics and new drivetrain. I went in with my eyes open but it does not change the fact that they suck.lol, wtf? I mean Ford's aren't usually THAT bad. Why are the Lincoln's so especially bad? I don't get it.
On a Tesla note - I wonder CR compiles this data. Is it mechanical *sugar* only or do they have some data on number of service visits for random *sugar* like my speaking getting blown out. My Model 3 was never in the shop for an electrical/mechanical issue. It was only ever in the shop because of a paint problem and they agreed to repaint part of it.
Don't put it in Valet Mode. They will need to open the frunk and trunk. Use Speed Limit Moden set at 50mph and a glove box PIN. Speed Limit Mode locks your car in Chill Mode and allows the frunk and trunk to be opened.Tesla Noob question...
