New changes to Model S

[Bull]

Tesla has made more revisions to the Model S and X.
The Plaid now comes with "Higher thermal capability brake calipers" that are red.
You can also now get a round steering wheel.
They have also removed the Tesla logo from the rear.

It's not April 1 yet....

Although removing the logo from the rear I would believe for cost cutting.

Have to reiterate how bad I feel for Europeans who just took delivery of their cars in the last week or so.

I wonder if Tesla realized that the brakes they put on the Plaid originally were not good enough. And if we can use that fact to get ours upgraded... at no cost to us.

Yes to the first part. Zero percent chance to the second.

I suspect that it will come to that eventually. When I bought mine it did not say anything about paid hardware upgrades required. Sooner or later lawyers are going to get involved and Tesla will have to honor its promises.

They will always have.... hinges.

And better beer to cry into.

For those that can't stand their yoke there is a $700 retrofit wheel in the Tesla store https://shop.tesla.com/product/model-s_x-steering-wheel-retrofit?web=true

I'll keep my yoke thank you.

I've placed an order for a Model S Plaid, but don't have a VIN yet. I would hope that I'll get a car with the upgraded brakes. Seems kind of silly to remove the Tesla logo, but whatever.

After what they did to you they should make sure you get the latest and greatest. Hopefully there will be some posts with the new hardware so you will know the VIN range of the changes.

Not sure if it was always like this, but clearly not USS on the bumpers.

I think it’s really clear that this is the refresh of the refresh of the refresh.

Yeah Tesla said this would change in 2023. But where’s the software to support this change? Not available to any of us yet…

 

[AMPd]

That is pretty cool and a welcome change!

It has always been like that.

Yeah they have never rendered the uss sensors in the model s or any of the cars for that matter.

I like my Yoke too, but if they fixed the Horn it might be worth considering.

Brakes have not been upgraded. The brake calipers have been upgraded, same stopping power, but you can do more hard stops than before.
