Not too shabby for only 6 mos of tweaks 😈 #LFG

Nothing more than a fun fact and curiosity. Traded in my 2022 Model S (with Advanced AutoPilot) to Tesla back in April for $40,300. Saw it pop up in my local inventory for $57,000 now.

They seem to have modified a few things:

• Removed front window tints.
• Had a custom tow hitch installed. They have removed it from the vehicle.

Been eying a new model S given the limited inventory available. Is this a new or demo model? Can’t tell given the discount is odd. Also, if I cancel this order, is there likely to be new model S inventory available going forward? Post

22 model S had to be serviced so Tesla loaned me a 2026 plaid and I don’t wanna give it back 😭

Model s 90d for only 11k. What should I be looking for or watching out for before I make this purchase?

My lease has come to an end and now it’s time to say goodbye to my 2023 S.

This was my first experience with an electric car so I wasn’t sure I’d like it long term so opted to lease rather than buy. I’m glad I did because I’ve been eager to get rid of it for the last year now.

Not that there is anything bad about the car. It was fine to drive and never gave me any issues until about a month ago. It just wasn’t an enjoyable driving experience for me personally. While quick off the line, the driving experience and engagement wasn’t to my liking. The styling also was very boring to me. I had hoped it would grown on me as time passes but it never really did.

The tech is obviously a huge plus. I was beyond satisfied in that area.

It came with free lifetime supercharging which was great and one of the things that initially sold me on it. The supercharging network is amazing and I liked how I was never lacking for a place to charge.

In the last few months I’ve had all kinds of bugs. Windows rolling down randomly. Windshield wipers going off randomly. Weird smell that comes and goes in the interior even though the car is always clean and filter has been changed. Bluetooth connectivity constantly going out. Door locks acting wacky and not being able to open passenger doors from the inside. Nothing major, just irritating.

So now it’s time to say goodbye. I initially thought there was no option to buy the car at the end of the lease but I was at a non Tesla dealer yesterday looking for a car for my wife and the dealer told me that Tesla changed their policy and there is now an option to buy. I looked in the app and it says there is no option to buy but that I can call to inquire. The dealer put it in his system and he said it showed I was able to buy at lease end. I then went to kbb for a quote. The dealers responded and also told me that it’s shows as buyable in their system so I don’t know what’s what with that. I’ve got an email and voice mail out to Tesla lease team but haven’t heard back. The offers were more than my residual so hopefully there is an option to buy.

All I have to do is pop these wheels off and put on the originals which are still brand new and remove these N2itive lowering links and replace them with original and I’m good to drop off. Some people said I need to remove the tint or end up paying a fee so I’ll probably do that as well.

While it wasn’t a bad experience, I think this will be my last EV.

If not, where should i put them?

Has anyone actually replaced their current stock steering wheel with a carbon fiber aftermarket steering wheel? I’m looking to enhance my steering wheel but can’t seem to find much info on this or if anyone has actually done it. If so who did y’all go through?

All the rims have curb rash, but they all hold pressure and drive fine. The Michelin pilot sport 4s tires on the front are in good shape, 0325 manufactured date. Rear tires are ok , 4324 manufactured date. Looking for $900 or best offer. Don't want to think about the price of the tires new 🤕 😂

My rear driver side window recently hasn’t been going all the way up when then door is closed. At first it was intermittent and now it’s doing it most of the time but not always. I had a mobile tech come out and they replaced the window regulator. That did not solve the issue and now the Service Center is looking to charge me nearly $1200 to replace the door handle, the latch and “Low voltage distribution and controllers”?

I’m wondering if anyone has had this issue and what the fix was?

Things I’ve tried so far:

-Recalibrating the window
-Uncalibrating the window followed by recalibrating the window per the owner manual
-Took the door card off made sure all clips were present and in good condition, replaced door card to make sure it was properly aligned.
-Mobile Service replaced the window regulator

This should be a stock option. The Alcantara cover improves grip while protecting the pleather underneath. I cringe every time I see an Tesla steering wheel with a shiny finish from layers and layers of hand oils.

It was about $140 for the precut material and thread and another $150 for the install. Well worth the money IMO. I highly recommend it.

Will fsd come with the car?

I’m sure it’s not the last one of the non signatures but there can’t be too many deliveries left in this lineage. What a shame though. This replaces my 2014 RWD classic model S that was an amazing car for the last 12 years. Despite the fact I loved the original car — this really is a far more evolved design. Very stoked I got it since this was an order placed on 3/30 and I was not at all sure I’d be getting one

Edit: Spoke to Tesla and they mentioned that registration is required before I can trade-in. So, I need to wait for registration to arrive and do a quick title. Probably going to take 2-3 weeks and delivery might be closer to Memorial weekend. Tesla said they will hold the car for me if they have to. So that's reassuring. At this point it's a waiting game.

Background:

Got the order in, but not sure if I'll be able to pick it up due to some complications! (New vehicle trade-in)

• Originally, Model S owner (2022) and last month was debating buying between 2026 Model S or 2026 Model Y Performance. See post
• Made the incorrect decision to cancel my 2026 Model S order and keep the Model Y Performance order. Picked up the Model Y Performance after trading my 2022 Model S on April 14. MYP is a great car but man I miss the Model S and the incorrect decision was constantly bothering me.
• So grabbed the new Model S when it showed up in my local inventory.
• Some complications which might delay or cause me to cancel the order. The new Model Y Performance is fully paid for, but I'm still waiting for the registration and title. Probably going to take at least another 2-3 weeks. I'm expecting around week of May 18. So without the title and registration I don't think I can trade-in the vehicle. I have messaged Tesla and waiting to see if they can hold my order until I receive my title and registration of my 2026 MYP.

Financials:

• Tesla trade-in estimate for my 2026 Model Y Performance is $51,100. Before anyone says Carvana/Carmax etc, I'll be saving sales tax if I trade-in to Tesla so effectively the trade-in price is around ~$56,300.
• I paid $61,316 after taxes and fees for my Model Y Performance few weeks back. So effectively around $5k-6k loss. And another $15k for the increased Model S price. So financially not the greatest decision and it sucks. Life is too short and I can afford, so decided to go for it. Just don't want to regret being stuck with Model Y Performance for the next few years.
• Luckily, my tint and ceramic coating on the MYP was scheduled for the upcoming week and didn't spend money on them. Got to return some of the accessories as well.

Hello! Just picked up my very first Tesla vehicle. 2018 75D with 71k miles. 1 owner, clean Carfax, no issues. Body is clean, no dents or scratches, interior near perfect less some normal wear on the front door grab handles and a bit of LCD burn around the edges of the screen. Doing the CCS retrofit soon (prev owner never bothered to do it), debating on the HW3 upgrade. Traded my ‘22 Sonata N Line for this. Been wanting a MS for a long time, so happy I found this.
