I asked them to look at mine and they said they adjusted it, but it still behaves the same way.
Woah woah woah? A female teen? A female teen parked the S successfully? Are you sure it was a female? Because it’s quite clear females are incapable of parking cars successfully. I mean, does anyone here know an actual female who parked any car successfully?
They told me to wait after 1000 miles before I return it. It’s right about there now and it’s exactly the same difficulty as it was when I picked up. It’s starting to get really annoying to remember to tell people to pull crazy hard.
Yep. Same issue in lots of these S refreshes (mine included). Same goes for the vibrating driver’s side mirror at highway speed. Still boggles the mind this wasn’t caught before the car was released into mass production.
lets be honest, what makes you think it wasn’t caught before release…unfortunately the fix to a problem that should have been caught in the design lab or pilot assembly probably takes 12-18 months to work its way from re-engineering to test run to factory refit to production To logistics through a crowded west coast port system. Elon didn’t want to wait for the fix. Sobeit. But these deficiencies will add up and impact in predictable ways…service overload, quality reputation, eventually market share but probably not until the market has unintentionally provided Tesla time to get their quality act together.
Point take. That said, it’s hard to say how long it would take Tesla to fix e.g. a model-wide issue regarding a piece of trim alignment as they don’t have the regular supply chain that other manufacturers have. I’m still bewildered by some of the issues these cars have off the line.
I had this same problem with my first MS, a 2013 P85. They were never able to fix it, though tried, leaving panel gaps. I have not had this with my next two MS's. Hopefully, I will not with my MSLR arrives

Welcome to Tesla. My opinion after being a Tesla customer for 11 years, is that Elon has a short attention span, doesn't empower the employees to make critical decisions (he is a legendary micromanager, which is why exec staff is a revolving door), and doesn't invest in back end systems (because those things aren't "cool"). I think the Tesla Bot perfectly encapsulates this. The company is struggling to roll out a new S/X, build factories, start CT production, etc. But instead of focusing on the problems and bringing resources and energy to bear, Elon thinks it's a good idea to divert resources away from Tesla's core competency to build a robot? Elon is a fantastic and visionary leader. He is absolutely the worst manager I have ever seen. He needs a trusted 2nd that can take care of the details and run the company while freeing Elon to be visionary and an evangelist. But either he isn't willing to do that or there isn't anyone willing to work for him....
As I said above, you could sue. But say you win? What then? You will be prevented from buying a Tesla ever again and there aren't very good alternatives in the market. While that will change, it will still be a few years. So for someone that has decided to drive electric, your choice is to take what Tesla gives you, or stick with ICEs for a few more years.The list here is quite long:
Wiki - 2021+ Model S Refresh - Missing/Incomplete Software Features
So it seems that the following need software fixes at the moment. Any owners feel free to add your input. Dashcam Viewer - fixed in 2021.24 update, XM radio - Added in 2021.32.10 Active Noise Cancelation - Renamed to Active Road Noise Reduction - Available in 2021.44.x Clock: Time zone change...
How can Tesla get away with this? Must be some weasel words in the MVPA.
"Although your car has features listed on the Monroney, some of them may not be available until tomorrow"
Mine is already starting to show it's age (< two months in)....
Hmm, that’s not great. When I’m back in town I’d like to see your car. Perhaps can figure out what’s going on. But I agree with you this isn’t ideal at all.
Yeah the ~40mph vibration is well noted. I’ve not experienced it in my own car (yet). Is this a new thing in your car or has it always been there?
@WilliamG About six days old. I recall testing the car when new, based on the posts, and reported no issue at the time. The vibration is minor, but noticeable - especially when the car is cold. Need to do some more testing, when I'm in the mood. Right now, I'm just not in the mood to drive that car for a while. Will enjoy the MYP for the next week or so. Really miss the M3+, and would give the Plaid back if I wouldn't take a bath doing so.
I hear you. For many of us it’s been a rubbish experience aside from the acceleration performance. We can do a comparison between mine and yours when I’m home.
@WilliamG If you have no vibration, felt in the yoke or go peddle, at those speeds, you're good. I know the difference as I had both no vibration for more than a month and now the beginnings of the vibration problem. No need to compare. It is as it appears to be. May look to sell the Plaid, as I'm really not enjoying as much as I thought I would (for the price). May test the market in the next week or so. Safe travels.
Must be the cream color seats! Seriously you were so in love the first week or two. What gives?
@impastu Was trying to stay positive. See earlier post from earlier today. More quality issues are popping up, and the whole beta FSD Plaid/LR/yoke cars exclusion for wave 1-?, which Tesla currently remains silent on… Same BS for the yoke improvements release that rolled out two weeks ago to non FSD yokes.
