    Gotham City | MX 24'

    Amazing pics. What a world we live in -- buy a brand new model year 2024 car and immediately buy rare camber shims to have to correct something right from the factory.

    While you are correct Tesla car values are dropping, the costs associated with fixing them are still very high. Just something to think about...

    FWD issue -- Car reboots when trying to open via FWD

    Sorry, 1 more post for future owners who encounter this issue. The car triggered a specific alert -- GTW_w021 "Service is required" a few times during this whole ordeal. Haven't found any significant answers online and SC didn't know what to do with the error code even when I provided...

    FWD issue -- Car reboots when trying to open via FWD

    After a few tests, it looks like the 12v battery replacement cured it. Will monitor over the next few sleeps but I'm hoping this thread helps out other owners who run into this in the future. Can't wait to tell the service manager and techs that after a month in-and-out of the SC, it was...

    FWD issue -- Car reboots when trying to open via FWD

    Appreciate the tip but I can confirm the technicians looked into and shared detailed voltage readouts of opening/closing/during and didn't identify any issues. Fingers crossed swapping out the 12v fixes this once and for all but surprised multiple techs at the service center didn't even...

    FWD issue -- Car reboots when trying to open via FWD

    So I've been in-and-out of the service center for 4 weeks now. They have spent 40+ hours diagnosing, replacing a myriad of parts and still haven't been able to fully repair my FWD issue. It's frustrating because the issue is only repeatable *if the car has been sleeping overnight, and you try to...

    Finally! Thanks for the update but 95kw seems awfully low considering your SOC. I'll try to stop by soon to see how fast it is.. I can't imagine anything but a V3 being installed here.

    Tesla buyback - Free supercharging, expires May 2026

    Can you tell me more about Tesla offering to buy your car back? 5 unsuccessful attempts on a particular issue warrants a lemon?

    It's Feb 2024 -- still no updates for this location? This is a critical spot for visitors of Hillsdale Mall so I wonder what the hold up is.

    X-Care Experiences

    I purchased a 10 year plan back in June for my 2020 X and am satisfied. My only callout is to pay for approved claims on your own CC and wait for the reimbursed check in the mail -- which took about 2 weeks. I waited on the phone for over 20 minutes for Xcare to give them payment info and just...

    2018 MX 100D......vinegar smell when starting ac

    The instructions on this thread worked like a charm in terms of getting the Kool It into the right place. I replaced the cabin and HEPA filter in less than an hour. The AC smelled nice and minty fresh for about a day. However, I had lunch and had the car sit outside in the sun for about 2 hours...

    Driver seat moves while car is in motion...

    Never happened again on my X and NHTSA never did get back to me. It would be wise for you to file an incident with NHTSA just so you have it on record that it happened twice -- once after it was allegedly repaired by the service center.

    Real life experience with Xcelerate warranty?

    Will share my experience hoping it may help someone out there in the future. I signed up for the Xcare 10 year plan with 49k miles on the odometer (factory warranty expires at 50k, battery and drivetrain in 2028 or 150k miles). A month later, Xcare updates their plans with battery and...

    Real life experience with Xcelerate warranty?

    Now that Xcare has launched their extended warranty with full battery&drivetrain coverage -- what have previous owners done to upgrade to the new coverage? Just trying to weigh my options since I just signed up for a plan, but now want the plan that covers battery & drivetrain.

    Also, can you clarify your post? Title says they are dropping all coverage outside CA (California), but your post says outside Chicago. Thanks!

    Metromile dropping all Tesla coverage outside CA

    Wow, I'm unable to find anymore details online but this is a shocker. Was your policy set to re-new and they sent you a letter? Or out of the blue they just said they'll no longer cover you?

    Why does the X never seem to turn on the climate in the back automatically?

    I have a 2020 LR X and have had this issue since day 1. I have a car seat installed in the captain chair and whether or not someone is sitting in the other chair, it never turns on automatically. I've always had to turn it on manually through the screen. I don't recall whether it automatically...

    Do I need to supercharge if traveling total of 182 miles both ways? (2023 MX)

    1) I'm not sure what the real range is when charged to let's say 95% or even 100%. What level should I charge to if I want to avoid needing to supercharge? When going on a long roadtrip, I would charge to 100% and then take off. This will give you the max distance. 2) I've heard that regen...

    OBD-II Vehicle Diagnostic Port in Model X -- Where is it?

    If helpful, companies like Metromile have an adapter to plug into the 12v outlet and into the metromile device. This is a good alternative for those who don't want to plug into the OBDII port and because it's not plugged in shouldn't interfere with the car.

    My X was broken into without breaking the glass

    Believe it or not, this could be it. A few years ago, my wife took the X to pick up groceries. When she returned to the car, there was a man standing next to the driver side door of our 2020 X and it was wide open. He said the door was left open and instead of closing it, he stood watch and...

    Please help me identify the sound

    I sent you a DM but perhaps you could share additional details so that we can help others who have experienced the same issues. I believe you're able to see what was replaced directly in the Tesla app but looking at previous service visits. Thanks in advance for your help!

    Please help me identify the sound

    I need the forum's help identifying the sound in the video below. Happens around the 20 mph mark. I've brought it into the SC and they couldn't replace it. It happens mostly when going uphill, or when I step on it around 20-35mph. I experienced more often during the winter months. Any help...

    This never did happen again to our X and we never did hear back from NHTSA when we filed our original complaint. I'll admit it took us a few weeks to not be nervous about driving on the freeway again though. Please keep us updated if you hear anything from the service centers. Be sure to report...

    Squeaking Sound Model X

    1 day to diagnose and 1 day to repair so they must have had the parts in stock. However, even after the upper control arms were replaced, I noticed a mysterious sound. Sharing the video below. Is this related to the dreaded shudder? Starts at 25-45mph. We don't accelerate the car hard at all...

    2 week old Model X Plaid and Left Rear Drive Unit Failed

    OK, service center replaced the upper control arms and the squeak went away. I had put down 2 issues originally, one of which was the repair of the UCA.

    Scary stuff. I would file something with NHTSA just so you have it on file. Please let us know what the service center says. They weren't able to identify the issue at the time and (luckily) it hasn't happened since.

    Yikes, keep us updated on how it goes (or a possible fix from a SC). Luckily for us the issue did not repeat itself -- though I never received an answer from NHTSA after I submitted my complaint.
