nah bro, crummy photo in the dark while moving. Full tire tread, basically like new. Cheers. Anyway I traded in for a Model X Plaid which i ***LOVE*** Oh and get FSD. Edit: interesting, based on the date of that post, that is apparently my Plaid X. 🤷‍♂️

Interesting and thank you

A friend driving behind me tonight called me to ask if I was riding my brakes. Turns out I have these two really bright center tail lights that stay lit even when not braking. Is this normal? The lights are bright enough to be mildly bothersome to a driver behind my X. So we switched cars and...

lol! Nah actually it was an old base 2016 Sienna. Obviously the X was way better hahaha. I just really wasn’t impressed with the non plaid performance. Haha! I guess it actually takes a lot of performance to impress me (?) and anything less is kinda all just … nice. though I really did wonder...

Idk my Sienna was pretty peppy lol — but I’m sure you’re right lol

Well carbon fiber does have that now-well-known tendency to have sudden catastrophic failure after a certain number of fatigue cycles… So I’m aware that the Plaid motors (like Icon A5s, premium CF bikes, CF motorcycle wheels, and possibly certain submarines) will need significant refurbishment...

From what I’ve read, yes. I think Tesla maybe is validating it for HW4/external forces are holding Tesla back (Missy Cummings/NHTSA bias etc)?

My reasoning went like this: Plaid has, over non plaid: — Significantly upgraded brakes. — Significantly upgraded drivetrain which may translate to more durability with regular use. — Significantly upgraded performance. Model X non plaid felt remarkably minivan-ish in performance, especially...

As a quick follow up: I am LOVING my Model X Plaid. If you can swing it, and don’t absolutely need 7 seats, I 100% STRONGLY recommend Plaid refresh over non Plaid refresh, having owned both. I did end up (on the day of picking up my plaid X) deciding to trade in my non Plaid X because it seemed...

100% on the yoke; my personal preference by far.

Oh crap. I wouldn’t probably take delivery if I can’t get it within the 3yr free Supercharging window. I know it’s PURELY psychological (worth a few hundred bucks) but dang I really really want that

Yes FSD totally rocks in the city, like really awesome (still there is the occasional suboptimal maneuver).

In his defense, I believe Elon when he says we have the necessary hardware. It’s just that I bet he was thinking of using another way of identifying pressure applied to the steering wheel, not a sensor like every average Joe was thinking. For example, it would be simple to engineer the steering...

Well I like it for the around town hands-free (except occasional touch) navigation, for the red light functionality, for the obstacle-avoidance functionality, for the auto-lane-change functionality, and more (like keeping you safely driving if you’re struggling to stay awake / nodding off), off...

(Re: the used car market)

I do think that most people undervalue FSD though, because most people see things as they are, not as they could/will be

Certainly to each their own!

Bro do you even FSD? Calling dubious value… I’m pretty sure it’s saved my life several times. Just sayin’…

Interesting perspective and maybe reasonable but I guess I just believe in the Tesla mission and feel like I’m contributing to the peaceful future of humanity by paying a programmer’s salary for a few months lol

Unfortunately no plaid X is available

lol idk if Tesla maybe does monitor this forum for ideas but lookie what showed up in my app today

That car can only be registered in California. How interesting and I wonder why.

Maybe I’m doing it incorrectly, but I’m not finding a brand new HW4 Model X Plaid with FSD, 20” wheels, B&W interior with carbon fiber.

My Model X Plaid reservation moved the other day from “May” to “May 30 - July 4” 😳 been there done this before … here’s hoping the wait isn’t year again 😄 LoL at least I’m driving a model X already this time And I always consoled myself that the longer I wait, the better the tech will be lol...

Neuralink +Teslabot might approximately do that… And better. 🤓

And not have FSD? No waaay. I just ordered a second Model X and it was without a flinch that I added FSD. It drives me everywhere. It’s the best thing since the invention of the automobile.

I can die happy now. Except I don’t want to die lol. I want to upload to a Teslabot via Neuralink and explore the universe beginning with Mars. ☺️🤓

I personally have always (since childhood) held a very reductionist/objective viewpoint on things so Musk’s First Principles approach is perfectly sensible to me. I just think the most important thing is the question(s) being asked. One question I would ask myself (if I were engineering the...

To each their own, but it is extremely easy to criticize and extremely hard to do things nobody has done before. Writing what could be “the most advanced software program to ever have been written” Is going to take time, patience, lots of creativity, and so forth. Whenever I have to drive...

*does not see. Will not? I think it will. But obviously that’s my own speculative forward looking opinion.

Personally I use FSD every day and love it. I particularly like the voice feedback function and I hope Tesla is using AI / LLMs to process all the feedback and interpret/re-label the related video feeds. Etc. But even so FSD is excellent if you have a bit of a curious mindset. I don’t think...

Tough call. My LR is so rock solid that I am hoping the Plaid will not let me down. I’m telling you the Model X is the best. Car. Ever.

Hi and congrats. FWIW, I have a Refresh ‘22 Model X 7-seater LR (and only love it more than when I first got it). It has very frequently, if not almost always, been glitchy with the second row seating. It takes finesse to work the seats, though I do think it has gotten better (!) over time. I...

Just ordered a new X. Cannot wait! Nothing wrong with my current LR 7-seater X (Model X is the best car ever), but it was time for an upgrade to Plaid. 😄 Ordered: Ultra Red, 20” wheels, black and white interior with carbon fiber decor, FSD, 3 yrs free Supercharging. And yes, Plaid. ☺️

Loving my Model X. FSD beta now driving out of fairly complicated parking lots.

I’m not sure I understand. But I meant, to prevent a problem while you are driving (the problem being “your windshield wiper button not working”), reboot your Tesla while you are parked. So like, for example, when you pull off the highway at a Supercharger, unrelated to supercharging, just...

It does sound like you may have encountered an issue where some sort of software code pile up develops over hours of use. This is clearly a rare situation as 99% of drivers do not drive 8hr trips almost ever, if ever. So it may not be addressed anytime soon. In the meantime, to minimize your...

In terms of actual chips and software, other manufacturers are *literally* in the early 2000s. There is no comparison. Now introduce Tesla’s first principles approach to EVERYTHING, including its diecasting approach to simplifying mass production, and you see that the rest of the industry is...

Ngl that’s overpriced

My FWD are quiet and quick. I subjectively feel they are at least as quiet and quick as a pre refresh I had rented on Turo.

I got home from a car wash twenty minutes ago. I just noticed this. I’m half worried, half nah it’s nothing

I mean not EVERYBODY is a TOTAL loser… I’ve been quite impressed with quality of some of my Tesla techs.

That’s interesting about pre Refresh doors opening six inches if they needed to, in order to have enough force to close. I anticipate Tesla will update the Refresh software to include that.

Try rebooting your Tesla when this happens while driving. It’s safe: it doesn’t reboot the driving computer. Press and hold the two wheels on your yoke / steering wheel for about thirty seconds. The screen(s) will go black for a minute and then the Tesla logo will appear a minute later and then...

Needs mini windshield wiper. Simple, could run off nearby power.

Caveat emptor, not all dehumidifiers have hose attachments. This is what I use FWIW. https://a.co/d/aEmYpt3

Gotcha.

Put a dehumidifier in your garage and run the hose outside for 24-7 bone dry garage (except for when it’s open but overall it’ll be much better for your equipment).

If you haven’t received your model X yet I would think it’ll be coming with the upgraded screen. 🧐

336 Wh/mile is pretty normal 267 is crazy good
