Reading through the recent quality issues is sad. They should be past a lot of this. The paint issues I've seen in the last 10 pages or so, embarrassing. WTF on a 100k car. Probably going to resist delivery if the EDD window actually holds up this month. Or bail on the Plaid and take a LR and try again in a year or two with the inevitable product update. Its ok if the car doesn't have the style and construction of a Taycan, but damn at least put together what you got better than this! I want the "flagship" model as Elon called it. But my MYP is put together better than all of these deliveries I'm seeing. I feel like I'm sitting on a gem, and that's silly comparing to a 100k car.

He also called the MS and MX "Dessert" and said they were being continued for "Sentimental reasons"
His actions indicate he cares more about Mars, than cars...

I will be pretty ticked off to put it mildly if our MS has more issues than our MY. TBH our MY was delivered with almost no issues. I poured over the car outside in the 100+ degree heat looking for issues and it was put together better than my last MB or BMW. So kudos to Tesla for that. Now I hope our MS which costs almost twice as much gets the same attention to detail.
Elon vision for the "mission" should include adequate quality control so you aren't hit with instant buyer's remorse. I hope to hell the new MS isn't a totally vision only system and they actually use radar as well. Phantom braking events are totally running an otherwise great car.

Just sitting around the TMC camp fire waiting for the servers to come back online. Gushing thwarted tonight!
It’s screwed up at the moment. Front is lower than the back and I have a persistent error ‘suspension may not be level’. I’m scheduled for service on the Dec 17th but plan to take it in this week and force them to fix it sooner because it’s annoying.

Woah guys another 4K Fremont flyover! I really hope this guy starts doing multiple ones!
Lots of comments here about battery degradation. Give us some numbers, please.

You had too many likes, and broke the Internet
I wish Tesla Model S came with soft close doors. I now know that I need to shut them harder, but my passengers never do. Soft close doors would help solve that issue.

Don't know what to think of a guy that says, "you'd like my muscle gun?" Not sure which way your screen door swings? But it's all good. I was just calling you because you missed calling me to tell me I should do a "she said thing." If you can't keep up with your job TMC might have to consider replacing you?

This was a bit different. quality was very sharp, some real zooming in, some things i wanted to see, and missed a bunch i wanted, but hey, for the price...
of interest, he zoomed in on 1 or 2 trailers full of "things" - i thought in the past they were used tires, but they are almost shaped like dolphins, i also thought might have been shaped like headllights, so i'm wondering if those could be some sort of molds - but then you'd imagine they'd take better care of them than leaving them out.
he spent time on what looks like garbage cans, then i thought they were stacks of tires, and ultimately, they seemed to me to be spools - some had copper, some had i think black or silver - so i'm not sure if wires, or tubes, or raw materials.
the amount to be delivered is astonishing. each trailer holds about 8 cars, there were a ton of trailers (i think like 20) and that was a fraction of the lot.
it looked to me like cars were 3 wide for 3 trailers to load on almost the same row.
cars were also parked very close to each other - i'm amazed no dings.
if the cars were backed to each other, i could see passenger doors being close, as the drivers need to exit, but wow.
looked like a TON of X's getting ready to go.
the zoom by the test area (near the track) was great - it showed little bumps on the road (i guess vibration test) that I could never see clearly before.
lot of dusty cars near there as well.
I was disappointed I didn't see the overflow lot, but again, 4k, 28 minutes, and free - so I can't complain.
as before, I'm annoyed at T's lack of communication, but blown away by how many cars they can produce in light of shortages.
I guess an analogy, right or wrong, might be the pilot who doesn't tell the passengers what is going on, but navigates bad conditions or emergencies and gets the job done - which is frankly the more important part, versus perception.

so in honor of the new UI, i went with the dark tmc2022 theme. supposedly easier to read, not sure yet.
I already know i don't like the need to click to see someone's reaction score, where they are from, etc. - i liked it below the signatures.
sigh, that's progress!
