Hard to find posts about Model S

I'm a long-time Model S owner; started with a new 2017 100D, that one got t-boned in 2019 so I bought a new 2019 LR, then just got my 2023 LR. I have driven a M3 (loaner) and know, without a doubt, I will always drive a MS. I hope to hold on to my 2023 for 4-5 years before getting another new one... My frustration is this: it's hard to find posts or accessories for the Model S. When I bought my first MS, there were hardly any Teslas on the road and all accessories for the MS. Now, the vast majority of Teslas are M3s or MYs; and the vast majority of blog/posts/accessories are for them as well! I have the standard accessories, I'm just looking for some newer options. Even the reddit subreddits seem to be mostly M3 and MY. This subreddit only has 174 members for crying out loud! Sigh.

Headache in Model S

Hi all I joined this Group specifically to see if anyone has had this crazy issue. I had a model 3P for 3 years and not one issue. I just got a model S LR and within the first few days noticed every time I drove I get a horrible headache. Even sitting in car not moving! I swear I’m not nuts lol. It’s not pressure (I know about the trunk and frunk bump stops) it’s some sort of signal/ frequency EMF is my guess. Im totally baffled. I love this car but I can’t stand driving it. Any reports of faulty devices throwing off high or low frequency? It seems to be worse in drivers seat. I have about 600 miles on car and considering selling it .. really sad but I cannot figure this out. I ordered an emf meter which comes this week maybe it will show something . I also have a service appt this week.. sadly the QC is not good and I have 6 open tickets waiting on parts. I can live with those but not this headache. Lastly, I had a tech ride in car but not an official appt as I just stopped in … he felt or heard nothing but later that day texted me he had a headache all day and brain fog after being in the car .. says maybe coincidence?? Any ideas?

How can you tell if a MS has air suspension or not?

I'm looking at a 2015 MS and I can't tell from the vin if it has standard or air suspension. Going to see the car today. What's the best way to tell next to crawling under the car?

What Does "M12" Mean (in some older Model S Brake Caliper Part Names)?

In the Tesla online Parts Catalog, some Model S brake calipers have "M12" in the name. Most do not. For example, for Model S 2012-2016 front brakes (emphasis added):

FRONT BRAKE CALIPER WITHOUT PADS - LEFT
FRONT BRAKE CALIPER WITHOUT PADS - RED PERFORMANCE - LEFT
FRONT BRAKE CALIPER WITHOUT PADS - RIGHT
FRONT BRAKE CALIPER WITHOUT PADS - RED PERFORMANCE - RIGHT
FR BRAKE CALIPER ASSY M12 RH

By the way, the "M12" shows up in some Model S Brembo (front & rear) brake caliper part names, but not in any of the part names for Mando (rear) brake calipers.

What does "M12" mean[FN] and how important for brake caliper part compatibility is it?
If, on the other hand, "M12" is universal to all the Model S brake calipers or is otherwise not important, why is it included in any part name?

[FN] Guesses: Metric thread size of (a) caliper bolts or possibly the (b) brake line connector?

2018 tesla issues

Hi there, I’m looking at purchasing a used model s. Are there really a lot of changes between 2023 and the 2018 model to make it worth the extra money?
