ok, any word on a front camera?

Seriously considering a new MX for my wife. I have been waiting for prices to come down. I mentioned this on the forum a couple months ago about the obvious price reductions coming and mentioned it to my SA at Tesla and he chuckled saying prices may be going up if I wait too long. Well, I guess...

True story! I can get you a nice well cared for used drop top Bentley for $95k and it looks like new. You only live once Used Car Dealership in Knoxville, TN | MINI of Knoxville

What’s wrong with that? He was just married, time to have some fun with younger hottie and not all of them are gold diggers. But, what a female sees is someone that is potentially successful and isn’t boring to hang out with. If they are truly a gold digger, just move on to another prospect.

Not for me unfortunately

Without Tesla charger

Yeah and I wouldn’t buy a Tesla or BMW ev to attract a younger hotter companion. To original thread starter: If I was a new bachelor mode, I’d probably look at a M5, X5M, Audi Q8 or HummerEv for starters. Basically, something fun, a bit practical but not absolutely irresponsible...

Can’t you use dog mode or use the app to pre-cool the car to desired temp several minutes before getting in?

I do like the MX though, it drives very well and the power is amazing. It was also very quiet and nothing really competes with it yet. It’s a real shame you had a bad experience

Having owned several Mercs m, mostly AMGs, I wouldn’t buy a GLS unless you like a suv you wallow around every turn. We rented a GLS580 and it was fantastic on straightaways but once you start going in the bends, it sucked. Nobody in the car like it. Felt very top heavy and not planted. I much...

I would stay away from the 23’ and current 24 X7 as it’s running the idrive 8. A lot of people are complaining about it but haven’t heard of any freezing or unable to get into sport mode. The dealer may not have updated the software possibly. Also the Bluetooth interface with CarPlay was...

What you’re leaving out, is the fact SF streets are well mapped out for Tesla as it’s a testing ground for Tesla autopilot. This is a well known fact when FSD is being used. Many more cases of FSD having issues. USS is more important for close distance parking. Even Lucid used USS, LiDAR and...

Come on, you live in the Bay Area. Everyone is rich there, otherwise why are they still living there when homes are $500+sq.ft. Lol! I think a lot of the money is from the Covid business bailout. For instance and I won’t name the restaurant in Palo Alto as he’s a close friend of mine but he...

Good to know, hopefully our MX will be more reliable then the Mercs we’ve owned.

That’s very impressive actually and honestly pretty unrealistic for most air suspensions. But 50k is pretty accurate based on auto repair research. Also, yours probably needed replacement but worked well enough to work. Airbags just hold up over time. My good buddy who was the service manager...

My wife’s BMW nails it almost every time and parks within a foot of the curb

Next they’ll raise the price and add free oil service. 😂

I wasn’t aware FSD owners are missing out on certain features that non-FSD owners have. Please elaborate as I’m not a Tesla owner yet. Just trying to piece all the benefits together before laying down $100k on an EV

That’s nice but after reading the article, it’s only for FSD users currently. Not sure why they can’t just give it to all Teslas without FSD if they really want to make Teslas safer for all.

I’ll have to test drive it again and this time try my typical parking and pay more attention to the mirror locations.

I have no plans of getting rid of my Land Cruiser as it does things that an EV cannot. I am absolutely adding an EV to my garage and most likely it will be a Tesla. I really enjoyed test driving the MX a couple of times. What I didn’t like was the lack of front bumper camera and traditional...

I suppose so, but I also can’t get past the ugly exterior either and the worst cup holder location I’ve ever seen in modern vehicle. I wish the MX interior was higher quality like the ix.

The only rumor I’ve heard is either Norway or some other Euro country Model X owners getting matrix headlights. I believe it was on this forum.

All boats ramps are variable on ramp angle, water depth and some can be very slippery from algae(A/T tires are key here) or if they aren’t grooved for traction. Personally, I would not use a Tesla to launch a boat but I’m sure some do it anyways. Just make sure you’re launching in fresh water...

Totally agree here. If you’re looking to have one vehicle, especially where you live, the MX is a tough one to beat.

Well, I prefer automatic mechanical watches over digital watches. I have an iwatch for certain activities as I would have an Ev for certain activities, such as around town and trips under 4hrs. However, I love the sound of an engine and I get to my long road trip destination much quicker...

Absolutely agree. Every boat I’ve launched with my Land Cruiser has my rear end in the water and exhaust pipe submerged. I even have a diff breather because that is submerged as well. Some trailers have extended tongues to help keep the vehicle from barely touching the water but these are...

The only vehicles I would cross shop with the MX is the X7 and the new base Range Rover. The X7 is most likely much more reliable compared to the Range Rover and more of a drivers suv, so I’d lean that direction. I’m just holding off until I see the MX is getting any real updates this fall as...

Air suspension in general is not long term reliable on any make. General longevity is just past 50k miles before needing replacement. Your GLS making is 62k is pretty good actually. Lexus is the only smart one who uses Hydraulic suspension which is much more reliable. The question I would have...

I could get behind this option but stalks would be nice.

Go drive a ‘24 BMW X7 m60 or even the X7 40i and see which one offers more value. The MX is a tough sell currently.

2023 could be a bad year for the MX unless big changes are made This is pretty much the same reasons my wife prefers the MX over MYP, for the exception of light show and she doesn’t even know that’s a thing. She was sold on the air suspension,cooling seats, much more comfortable seats and an...

And price cuts coming.

This seems like a lot of repairs. I can’t recall ever having anything fixed or replaced on my Land Cruisers up to 100k miles. My wife’s current 2019 BMW has 38k miles and zero issues this far as it should will little miles. Have the newer MX’s fixed any of these issues from previous years, such...

Why buy a car without the features you require? Either wait for those features to be installed or buy something else. If you can wait, wait. I’m giving Tesla until end of October to install front bumper cam and rear cross traffic. Otherwise I’m buying a BMW X7 m60i. Tesla is under pressure and...

Don’t worry, the X will drop down to $85-87k before end of year. Just wait and remember who said it.

I was slightly agreeing with you. What you paragraphed above about “some luxury” seems a little vague. All German automakers, Lexus, GM, Cadillac, Ford and even many Toyota products can be custom ordered, such as the Tundra, 4Runner and Sequoia.

My Hummer is “supposed” arrive fall of ‘24 based on an email I received. I don’t believe it and it will be more like 2026 based on the slow rollout of these.

Not sure if you mean that the customer doesn’t get a say on how a custom order is built. For instance, when I order a BMW or Porsche, I literally spec it out with the salesperson on exactly what I want. Then once I place a deposit, it goes into an order back. Once the vehicle goes into...

Damn! Now I want a burrito for dinner. 🤣

I am not considering the MXP because of the 6 seat option. Also, the way they recline is stupid. They should have just copied BMW X7 rear seats. Another frustration, is the lack of a center arm rest in the 5 seat version. Does Tesla hate arm rests? How could they make the 2nd row captain chairs...

They should have just announced a price increase in two days to prospective buyers if that was the thinking. However, they aren’t thinking. It’s like Elon removing the blue check from twitter without providing a good reason of why he’s charging for it. It would have been better to say, we need...

I am at odds with the X myself. I actually like the FWD as they are practical in a few cases…so long as they work 100% of the time and that’s certainly not always the case. The giant front window is pretty nice as well when you’re driving through the mountains/canyons/scenery, just needs a bit...

I don’t, just my best guess based on the fact they are adding the Phoenix radar and hardware 4.0 with the additional camera ports. It could be sooner but October-Nov is when many car companies push to move product before end of year. Even though Tesla is not a traditional car company, they still...

The only reason I don’t see the X dropping below $85k is because of the cost of warranty repairs Tesla has to deal with. I see Tesla wanting to keep the car at a lower volume and higher premium. The FWD and half shafts come to mind as an ongoing warranty expense. Elon likes to squeeze pennies...

That’s a lot of driving. How many miles do you do per year?
