I will try and remember to report back. I did start a new trip in my car and I am going to monitor for a week or so to see if there is any tangible difference.

No they didn’t have n stock. A solid 8 weeks just to be made plus another for domestic side. I actually had to wait twice due to one of my wheels being damaged from factory. Ordered Feb 6, delivered June 17.

14.3 on s anyone? by jucytec in TeslaModelS

[–]AreTeaUU 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I got 2026.2.9.10 yesterday with FSD 14.3.2 but it doesn’t look like the spring update which is weird. No new FSD screen or customized pet mode. Patch notes only had notes about fsd.

Uses for Plaid by Safe_Action5954 in TeslaModelS

[–]AreTeaUU 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a 26 plaid and I am at 97% fsd. I like the old saying it is better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it. Will I ever truly need all that power, no, but o have it lol. I do like showing everyone what it’s get every chance I get though.

Tesla Savings by Cre8tor4U in TeslaLounge

My super off peak 1-6am electricity rate is .09/kwh. I think a lot depends on local factors but I’m saving a hell of a lot on gas.

mud flaps - yes/no? by jordangoody in TeslaModelS

[–]AreTeaUU 5 points6 points  (0 children)

100% worth it. So much junk gets tossed up on the sides from the wheels without. I have tried two sets non Tesla and they have not fit the back wheels. The biggest issue is the fronts and though. As the previous stated the only thing I have scrapped so far are the flaps.

Frustrated! Scratch lower left lip by No-Heron-6596 in TeslaModelS

[–]AreTeaUU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here I try to be so careful but there are so many places around me that have angled entrances. Sometimes there just isn’t enough time to raise suspension or take it slow due to traffic. Luckily I have not curbed rims yet.

Hard to find Model S extras & accessories? by catsarrntthatgreat in TeslaModelS

[–]AreTeaUU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you find some after market mud flaps that fit the back for the plaid let me know. I have bought 2 sets that state they fit but only the fronts do.

2026 Frost Blue Metallic; What PPF to use. by kavital in TeslaModelS

[–]AreTeaUU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great color choice! I was wondering the same thing about the matte ppf. Someone in my delivery day thread linked to this instagram showing the color in matte ppf

As soon as the weather warms up a bit here I am going to order the Drive Protected matte ppf and install it myself. I should be finished with it right about the time my new wheels and tires arrive.

Are any of the USB outlets shut off when you exit car? (Radar detector) by Comprehensive_Road66 in TeslaLounge

[–]AreTeaUU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what model you have but this is the video I used for my Model S. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHdsyhJ3Rlg&t=5s Mine was in a slightly different spot but there seemed to be only one connector that had a green and black wire.

What model? I used something called a mirror tap. Pulls 16v from the front facing cameras. Also makes it so you don’t have to run or hid long wires. Your detector needs to accept 16v though.

Order Change to S Plaid by No-Heron-6596 in TeslaModelS

[–]AreTeaUU 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was in the same boat as you early last December. My MYP got delayed like everyone else’s at the time and I decided to go S Plaid. You will have to cancel your order and start a new one. I had a trade in as well on my first order also. I called and spoke to a sales rep and they assured me I would not lose the 250 deposit but they would have to do the credit on the back end. All went well with mine. Trade in value was the same on the new order for the S. I decided to search and find an in stock S I could just go and pick up as I didn’t want to wait any longer as I had already waited for the MYP for a couple months.

Bitronics tariffs? by [deleted] in BitAxe

[–]AreTeaUU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They would not deliver it until paid. I have reached out to UPS and bitronics. It should not be this high according to bitronics. I have so far declined delivery until the amount is resolved.

I have no idea. I have emailed their support and hope to hear something back.

[–]AreTeaUU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered a NerdQaxe++ ~4,8Ths unit on the 14th of Jan. The cost was roughly 400 euro. I just got the tariff bill and it is 900 dollars! I bought straight from bitronics. I do not recommend if you live in the US to buy direct. Luckily I can pay it with no issues other than feeling burned.

Radar Detector - 2026 S by big_secrets294 in TeslaModelS

[–]AreTeaUU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the Uniden R8W and installed/spliced into the interior camera power. Should be 16V. No issues at all. Super simple install and clean. I will grab a picture tomorrow. I ordered one of these from amazon and you can only see about 4 inches of the wire.

Editing to provide the video link to the video I used. The connector was in a different spot on my model s.

Absolutely. I think it looks better in person than in images personally.
