My new 2024 Model S LR

[dherman76]

Here she is! I picked her up yesterday. The 2024 Model S Long Range in White with White interior. My wife and daughter pushed for that (not my choice). It’s my third Tesla, my second Model S since 2015.

i need to get used to the Shifter, which I had no idea moved to the screen. Not a problem, just need to undo 30+ years of driving to adjust. Also, I need to get used to the turn signals on the steering wheel.

There’s also a screen in the back for my kids or passengers to enjoy. This is new to me, but probably not new to you.

Excited to have her in the stable and enjoy her throughout New England.

I’ll be taking much better pictures soon and will try and put 1,000 miles before I give a real review.

Congrats on the car and awesome garage!

Congrats - all that stuff will be second nature in a week. I am only 2 weeks into owning my S and now it feels awkward when I get in my other car.

What lives on the lift?

Ha! Love it. The lift... has housed a variety of 911s. I think the Porsche + Tesla are a great combination. To the right is a GLE53 AMG for the wife.

Well I agree with you - I have a 911 turbo cab and a Cayenne GTS in addition to my S Plaid. Can’t really think of a better 3 car combo for me and wish I had a lift or a second full garage.

Congrats. Husband picking up his Model S on Monday. Yes a few things to readjust to after his 2017 Model S. I’m going to miss his Alcantra lining and the front passenger seat adjustments that I think they took out. He also had the sunroof in his 2017. At least he gets back the ventilated seats I believe. He ordered the round steering wheel. I’ve heard people on some cars, not sure model, were having their steer wheel material peeling off. Is that suppose to be a problem with this year’s Model S?

Does the S still come with Homelink installed?

I haven't heard about the steering wheel issue. I'll keep my eyes open for that. So far, I haven't noticed anything. As for Homelink, it's installed and I'm already using it

The peeling is on the yoke, not the steering wheel, as far as I’ve heard. Homelink is there and pretty easy to program.

Hey dherman - did you have to have your garage door reconfigured to fit the lift? Do you mind saying how much the lift and install costs? I’m considering the same setup.

Will PM you a video.

In short, yes, we had to change the garage door setup a bit to accommodate the side of the garage with the lift due to ceiling height. I'll send you a video in a few moments once I go shoot it.

Picked up car. Happy with delivery. No front bumper camera.

Those issues are the Model 3, not the S. The current S includes an Alcantara headliner and full front passenger seat adjustments including lumbar.

The ventilated seats work far better and are now cooled, not just a fan, and you can set the seats to adjust the heat/cooling automatically.

The round steering wheels never had a pealing problem, and the yoke has a new design that is being shipped on cars now for those who ordered it. If you get the old yoke design, and it peals, Tesla will replace it under warranty. The S/X has always included Homeline.
