I am picking up my 2024 MSLR tomorrow. The sales rep confirms the EPA hold was lifted today at 11 am PST.
There's still no updated EPA cert on the Long Range. Did they by any chance tell you what the EPA rated range is?

I've recently read that the plaid model has tire issues, was the LR not affected?
I went with 19s to avoid the issue. I had the 21s on my first plaid and the tires delaminated after 16k miles.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.
Negative. I'll share the information tomorrow if nobody else here has posted.There's still no updated EPA cert on the Long Range. Did they by any chance tell you what the EPA rated range is?
Is it possible to adjust the camber with the stock upper arms? Or are n2itive "required" to make that adjustment?Worse on Plaid with 21" tires. Also pretty bad on LR with 21".

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 alignmentsIs 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.
Just got off call from SA.There's still no updated EPA cert on the Long Range. Did they by any chance tell you what the EPA rated range is?
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.Picked up my Plaid/Red/White/19"/Yoke today in Franklin, TN. The car was damn-near perfect. The tailgate was better aligned than either of my two previous Model S.
The site still shows an estimate of 405, so I wonder if 402 is what it will be under the new EPA testing procedures.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.

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.I ordered my MSLR from inventory on 2.14 before I knew about the hold. Only found it about the hold from here.
I currently own a 2019 M3 performance and it has really been great. Looking forward to the S. I have a few questions if anyone can help.

What is the vibration issue mentioned a few posts above?
Are there any other concerns I should be aware of (besides the typical Tesla issues with gaps and thin paint)?

May your Nominal pack per SMT be 99.4 or higher!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.
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.
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.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.
