There's still no updated EPA cert on the Long Range. Did they by any chance tell you what the EPA rated range is?

Worse on Plaid with 21" tires. Also pretty bad on LR with 21".
19" wheels still suffer some issues with excessive negative camber (although some here will claim in's only a toe problem).
I'll be installing n2itive upper arms myself on my MSP with 19" wheels. -2.4 degrees of camber is excessive. -1.2 to -1.3 is fine for street driving.

I went with 19s to avoid the issue. I had the 21s on my first plaid and the tires delaminated after 16k miles.
Negative. I'll share the information tomorrow if nobody else here has posted.
Is it possible to adjust the camber with the stock upper arms? Or are n2itive "required" to make that adjustment?
I've seen some videos about swapping for the n2itive links but I'm not sure (yet) if I want to do that or not.
The tires are expensive enough that I want to get as many miles out of them as I reasonably can.
Can’t adjust it, but camber isn’t really the primary issue. It seems to be toe in combination with a tire that is very sensitive to bad toe. You don’t really see this problem on the 19s despite identical alignments
Just got off call from SA.
They said only some vehicles are affected by EPA hold, which i find very strange.
I do have a 2024 VIN i.e. with an ..RF..
They said my vehicle isn't affected and it has estimated range of 402mi.

Strangely, my range at 100% charge is only 345 miles (extrapolated from 276 miles at 80%) instead of the EPA estimate of 359, which Tesla currently shows on the order site. I have submitted to issue to service to determine what is going on.
The site still shows an estimate of 405, so I wonder if 402 is what it will be under the new EPA testing procedures.

No, but the Palladium suspension cradle has the upper arms bolted in laterally on it's own pivot rather than the extruded tabs, so now it's possible to use shims instead of replacing the upper arms. There are two products that do this but neither extend the length of the bolts and instead use factory bolts. I won't trust that solution unless it's grabbing with the same number of threads at the factory bolt depth.
To be clear, the 21" tires on the LR and Plaid are different - an all-season Goodyear and a summer-only Michelin, respectively. The issue seems to be more prevalent on the Plaid tire than the LR tire, probably because the treadwear rating of the summer tire is so much less.
Same here although mine is 349. I guess when I get it home I'll be plugging in SMT to read the BMS.
My 10 mile drive to the PPF installer rang in at 239 wh / mile but that was all surface streets.
Ultimately as long as the BMS is reporting the the expected nominal capacity for a new battery, I don't really care what the rated range says....as long as the actual full capacity minus the anti brick buffer is available.

Which store in LA?
If the SA has the Monroney Label, they should be able to tell you the EPA rating thereon.

May your Nominal pack per SMT be 99.4 or higher!
If not, it could need a few charges to 70%. I saw no improvement going over 80% in reported capacity.
This was my MXP at about 6 months. 99.4 when new and 95.9 nominal full. Don't have the earlier shot but I'm pretty sure it was something slightly higher like 96.4 nominal full.
Now I'm wishing I'd brought the cable and the Elm327 dongle with me. As it is now, I won't be able to check until Friday.
order date 12/27
EDD had changed back to Jan-Feb a few days ago
VIN assigned today
EDD now 2/28-3/7
My SA also told me (like it sounds like everybody else has been told now) that the EPA hold was lifted today.
Fingers crossed!

I have an order from 23 Dec 2023 for MSLR of course changed the color few times but my EDD was Feb 27 to Mar19 till yesterday, today it is Feb 28 to Mar 19… hopefully the end date holds. Two questions
1. Wouldn’t all cars be 2024 now that we are almost two months in - if not the cars would have shown up in inventory right. Also what do you do if they give 23, we just refuse and go back to the waitlist?
2. How much does the PPF cost for MSLR? I am in Dallas, Texas
Thanks

My MS LR was nominal 96.1 kwh new, never saw higher than 96.5, back calculating from Teslafi, as I only installed SMT on this car last fall, when it was still north of 95 after a year. Took a dump in Nov. Steady now at 92.5 to 92.6.
I find the consumption is quite low, maybe 15% less than the old 85D.
