    Model X plastic parts resonate with bass...

    Reviving this old thread as I just spent a few hours trying to kill rattles, squeaks and pops in the FWDs and rear trim areas. Ended up using sound mat for the sub area, felt tape everywhere, removing panels and replacing missing clips, and in some cases buying good quality used trim parts from...

    Faulty Onboard Gen 3 Charger

    Old-ish thread, but can the XS 1-1 onboard charger just be repaired via fuses? If so, where can I find the fuse PNs and order to repair my XS 1-1 in my '17 MX? I'd rather do that than spend $300-$600 on an ebay unit.

    Onboard charger needs replacing

    Quick update - I opened the panel myself and found it's XS-1-1, so version 1. I just need to track down one on ebay and then go through the fun of installing it. Thanks to the Tesla service manual, it shouldn't be that hard, but the removal of the rear lower skid plates to disconnect the main...

    Disassemble middle (2nd) row bucket seat to fix seat belt?

    I've yet to try this on my twisted seat belt, but here was a video I just found. I'm skeptical because it looks like the guy just fake-twisted it and then did this pull and release to make it "appear" that it worked. X Seatbelt Twist Fix (Supposedly)

    Onboard charger needs replacing

    It shows 48A every time, then kicks down to 40A when functioning properly on my home 14-50 NEMA using the gen 1 mobile charger. Now, as stated above, it appears at 40A, then flips to 24A with no up arrow to increase. I would have expected the car to show a notification of failure or some kind...

    Compiled List of Tesla Option/Production/Manufacturing/ Codes

    I was able to see all cars in the one data dump, so it worked out.

    Compiled List of Tesla Option/Production/Manufacturing/ Codes

    Disregard this - I looked at the page again and it actually lists all cars, it's just jumbled together so you have to search for each VIN area in the mess of code.

    Compiled List of Tesla Option/Production/Manufacturing/ Codes

    If you own more than one Tesla, this link doesn't work for every car, only the first one on your account. We have three and a previously-owned car, but the link only brings up our very first 2015 MS. Any way to actually see the other cars?

    Replace Gen3 onboard 48A charger with 72A

    I'm curious as well as I'm about to have to replace my MX onboard charger on my 2017 (July 2018 build) 100D due to failure last night. If I can go to 72A, my electrician will come out for $400 and rerun the proper gauge wire and replace the breaker to allow higher charging. However, I don't know...

    Onboard charger needs replacing

    Reviving this thread as my 2017 (July 2018 build) Model X 100D just had the 24A reduction failure last night. Details: Plugged in and scheduled for departure. 14-50 NEMA on a 50A breaker (professionally installed). Using mobile charger (older gen 1 from my MX and MS). Woke up to no charging and...

    MCU1 -> MCU2, FSD Computer with updated cameras on Legacy X. “Update BETA in route!”

    Doubtful. When I did the MCU2 upgrade they also replaced the dash screen because apparently the first version won't do the FSD visualization. Now that it's been about a month, I have noticed that my app no longer shows my Tesla Insurance "Scoring Factors" and I'm not able to see each trip's...

    The threshold of forward collision warning seems to be intentionally lowered to increase insurance fee

    Can’t disable, only turn off audible notification. Your personal Tesla insurance will still be dinged as FCWs still do their thing whether you hear them or not. We’ve been struggling with our MY going crazy on FCWs since a software update around Feb 20. She drives like a granny and has held a...

    MCU1 -> MCU2, FSD Computer with updated cameras on Legacy X. “Update BETA in route!”

    Just got back from picking up my '17 MX with FSD computer and all the upgrades, but didn't have MCU2. FSD Beta had been pending for 3 months and was told it was rolling out "slowly for MCU1" equipped cars, so just wait. Decided to get the MCU2 upgrade and of course there is FSD Beta, in all its...

    Phantom Braking misunderstanding

    That was not the same spot I referenced. The I-70 through Kansas is not the same location as the place where the speed limit on TACC adjusted from my set 70 mph to 50 mph, then 65 the next time. This location is in a busy area of south Denver metro area (C-470 and Santa Fe), while the...

    Phantom Braking misunderstanding

    Hasn't happened in that spot since, and I drive it every day and put on autosteer just to check. In fact, a couple of longer drives from my home to the airport on a highway went well - no issues.

    Phantom Braking misunderstanding

    Today in the same spot it adjusted from my preset speed of 70 mph to 65 mph. Same spot where once it dropped to 50 mph, then 55 mph. So something about that spot makes it want to slow down.

    My automatic wipers in beta don't even work... But I am scheduled for MCU2 upgrade next Tuesday.

    Phantom Braking misunderstanding

    Lots of people trying to tag these events to the obvious cars or obstacles, but there are way too many instances on this forum (and in my experience) where there has been literally no physical thing that the car could possibly have mistaken for an event warranting immediate deceleration. Few if...

    Phantom Braking misunderstanding

    Nope. I've had several events in the middle of nowhere Kansas on I-70. Sun straight up high noon, no highway mirages, no overpasses, and zero cars around me (very common on that highway in Kansas). The car (enhanced autopilot) set to 77 mph (speed limit 75). Then the event happens. Car...

    phantom Braking

    Yeah the phantom braking is TACC or autopilot on our '21 MYLR. Makes it totally unusable. Neighbor has a '21 MS and he hates it solely due to the phantom braking, so much so that he said he's probably going to sell it and just drive his Jeep Wrangler (which, IMO as a previous owner of five...

    How to sue Tesla over historical claims

    They looked at my car when I complained about being in FSD beta queue for 6+ weeks, and then said "Tegra is rolling out much more slowly than MCU2. Just be patient and keep waiting". Which I take to mean "wait until you lose patience and you'll fork over $1750".

    Is MCU1 Getting Left in the Software Updates Dust?

    Same boat. I just bought a 2017 (late model July 2017 build) from a private party who ponied up for FSD and all the hardware upgrades, and they told him he didn't have to get MCU2 upgrade. So he didn't. And he never requested FSD beta. I did and have been in the queue for 6 weeks. Service says...

    MCU1 -> MCU2, FSD Computer with updated cameras on Legacy X. “Update BETA in route!”

    Still in FSD beta queue for 6 weeks. Have all upgraded cameras and HW, including the EMMC. Still on MCU1, though, and service told me "Tegra MCU1s are slower to roll out FSD beta, so keep waiting". Of course they are slow. Slow = "the guy will grow impatient and pony up the $1750 for the MCU2...

    Been a minute… Infotainment and FSD upgrade installed.

    Still in FSD beta queue 6 weeks after buying the MX from the guy that paid and did all the upgrades. Service said "the MCU1 Tegra computers are slower to roll out FSD than MCU2...just keep waiting". In other words, "we are holding you back on purpose so you'll cave and pay $1750 for the MCU2...

    How to protect new front half-shafts

    TSB correction code. There are hundreds of examples of peoples' invoices showing that centers are doing these for $350. They quoted me over $1700 and then I took two other TMC members' invoice images and also sent the link to this topic on this forum. Then they adjusted the estimate to $350 +...

    How to protect new front half-shafts

    Just had my half shafts done on the 2017 MX. $350 per the TSB, but it was a bit of a fight. So far, so good. I ride at the 2nd lowest suspension setting and at acceleration it seems like a tiny bit of shudder is still around, but could just be because I was so used to how bad it was before...

    Front half shaft replacement instructions

    Totally forgot to upload this after my success with getting the Littleton Service Center here in Denver area to finally agree to the TSB half shaft replacement for $350. Shudder during acceleration is 100% gone (although sometimes I feel like a hint might still be there...). The guy at the...

    Linking front foot well lights to ambient lights?

    They are coming out Friday to replace the bulb on the driver side footwell, but confirmed there is no lighting down there except when the doors open or when the car is first put into park after driving (assuming I have dome lights on auto on). Not a big deal and I can live with the darkness.

    22 MX Plaid Interior Noises

    Just picked up a 2018 MX 100D and have been living this rattle/knock/squeak nightmare. Disassembled the liftgate trim and of course broke a panel (PN 1037902-00-G), used a ton of this same felt tape, but still all sorts of noise. One in particular drives me crazy, and is not a rattle or squeak...

    Linking front foot well lights to ambient lights?

    So the 2017 Model S and X don't have ambient footwell lights when driving at night? Our '21 MY has them and we love them. The MX is just pitch black, and there are also no lights at all for the cupholder/center console except the tiny USB lights. All I can control now on my MX is ambient door...

    WARNING - Car Report Scam- VinGator

    I recently posted my 2015 Model S 70D on Autotrader and was immediately "graced" by a person named "Luna", saying they are interested, want to come today, blah blah blah. Then they asked for VG report on the car instead of the one Autotrader offers for free. When pressed, they sent me a link to...

    2022 Model X - Interior Noise / Rattling / Crackling

    I just fixed our MX's rear hatch rattle. Apparently previous owner messed with the bump stops (there are four on the hatch and two on the base of the trunk, although those two probably need to be kept tight) and made them in such a position that 1) water was getting in, and 2) the cinch actuator...

    Do you have shudder on hard acceleration? AKA death rattle?

    I did that the first service request, and even included the TSB PDF in the request. The service "manager" simply said "no". But now providing two examples of other owners' invoices this year, and a link to this forum thread worked.

    Front half shaft replacement instructions

    Just a follow up. I sent this forum link and also two invoices from other owners that had this work done this year for $350. Late yesterday, Tesla responded to my service request with an estimate for the work - $350 + $28 taxes! Getting it done Saturday and will finally be rid of this vibration.

    Front half shaft replacement instructions

    Just had the joy of dealing with the Littleton "service manager", guy named Andy. He refused to accommodate $350 for the TSB on the front half shafts. Then I had a mobile guy come out yesterday to reprogram fobs because the service center forgot to tell me that to pair a new fob and keep...

    Battery Range after year

    2021 MY LR w/19" wheels and around 21,302 miles. Just did my first 100% charge in quite a while - got to 298 on rated 326, or roughly 91.4%. When we bought the car from a dealer in May of this year, we got around 302 on its first full 100% charge. I have a 2015 MS 70D with ~85k miles that still...

    MCU upgrade and AP3

    Service center said nope to swapping MCUs between my two cars. Of course they said once paired with a car, they "can't" be moved to another car. I'm sure they being the proprietors of the firmware and software, it CAN be done. They just don't want to do it because they'd rather see revenue from...

    MCU2 - Homelink stuck “getting ready to program”

    Won't work if it's used. Service guy just told me there are some things that once paired/programmed to a car, can't be moved to another car. ebay is full of used Telsa items that simply can't be used if they have already been paired or programmed to a car - key fobs, Homelink modules, and MCUs...

    MCU2 - Homelink stuck “getting ready to program”

    Remote diagnosis revealed a failed Homelink Module, at least per the estimate for service next week (they moved me from mobile service to service center). So $262.30 to have it replaced. Kind of funny $262.30 to pull a unit and install a new one, but to pay for it in the newer cars as an option...

    MCU2 - Homelink stuck “getting ready to program”

    Well the previous owner paid for FSD 4 years ago, had the hardware installed, but never requested Beta through the car. I guess when you're a medical surgeon, dropping $12k and then never using what you paid for isn"t that big of a deal. Yet with all that $$ he spent, he couldn't swing an...

    MCU upgrade and AP3

    Actually, I just realized I don't need to pay for a new MCU2 upgrade for the X. I have a 2015 MS 70D that I'm selling that already has the MCU2 upgrade, so I am going to look into what it will take to swap the X MCU1 with the S MCU2. I know programming is going to be the challenge if I did it...

    MCU upgrade and AP3

    Nice, simple answer. Thank you. And it was also confirmed with Tesla on the service app - $1750 + tax for MCU2 upgrade, regardless of the fact that I have FSD paid for and all of the other hardware. I'll be getting the upgrade next week.
  49. A

    MCU2 - Homelink stuck “getting ready to program”

    They did some remote investigating today, but no updates yet. Mobile service is Wednesday so I'll report back. The previous owner said it worked for him just fine, so I am not of the belief it's an MCU1 vs. MCU2 issue. While I still have MCU2 (not for long as I will be setting up another...

    MCU upgrade and AP3

    Reviving again because I am in a slightly similar, but not exactly similar situation with a 2017 MX 100D I just purchased from a private party. Previous owner paid in full for FSD (back in 2019 it was $9000 he said) and immediately had hardware updated to 3.0 (cameras and FSD computer). When...
