    Front Strut Rattle - SOLVED

    That sounds horrible, I don’t think it’s the same lose nut that I experienced. I wonder if you try to tighten the hex bolt at the bottom of the strut that’s connecting the strut to the bottom bracket? (Picture attached) Although I suspect the shock is moving within the housing and I don’t...

    Front Strut Rattle - SOLVED

    I bought the replacement struts from T-Sportline. They are Arnott replacements. They hey had the best price. In reviewing the Arnott’s to the OE Tesla struts. I couldn’t see a difference. Both have Bilstein dampers and Firestone airbags. The ride is very similar to the OE struts I had with...

    Front Strut Rattle - SOLVED

    I have been dealing with a rattle coming from the left front of my Model X P100D. It was very plasticy sounding that sounded like it was coming from just under the windshield. It was driving me nuts for a few weeks and after replacing all of the trim under the frunk and tearing the dash apart...

    Rattling coming from behind front passenger tire 2018MX

    I have the same rattle on the left side of the car. I had a Tesla tech drive it and he thinks it's the air struts. Although, he couldn't fully diagnose it because he didn't have the equipment being the mobile engineer. The cost to diagnose it was $250 from Tesla... I am trying to figure it...

    Looking at used Model X’s, looking for opinions / advice

    I couldn’t agree more. I have a Dec 2017 P100D with FSD which was upgraded to HW 3 and MCU2. It’s great, I do wish I would have bought a Raven motor vehicle because of the winter range loss due to not having a heat pump. But I bought mine at the height of the craziness so I bought the only...

    Buying a Model X P100D

    No I don’t, but I suspect that it’s around $1,000. But I’m sure if you search the forum it’s listed in a thread somewhere.

    Buying a Model X P100D

    No problem. When I first got my MX, the door sensors were bad and I have to tell you that when they don’t work properly, it’s basically an unusable car. I have 4 kids and I felt like shooting myself in the head for the week before I could get it into the service center.

    Buying a Model X P100D

    Generally it’s the front control arm bushings. Known problem on the Model X. Mine were bad at 38,000 miles. Had it replaced under warranty. I’m at 77,000 miles now, still no squeaking.

    Buying a Model X P100D

    That would indicate that it has Ludicrous+. It’s the same car I have. Great vehicle. Are you going to test drive it first? I highly recommend it. (1) Check the falcon doors for sensor issues by letting it sit in the sun for 5-10 minutes. (2) check if there’s front end squeeks when turning...

    Do short charging sessions damage battery?

    Thank you very much for this information. Makes a lot of sense. It’s spending dollars to save fractions of a penny! I stopped using the app after 2 days.

    Do short charging sessions damage battery?

    Thank you. I wasn't trying to clickbait anybody. I was just typing quickly and didn't review the title for punctuation. Paul

    Do short charging sessions damage battery?

    They go by 5 minute increments. You can just google "com ed hourly pricing" and you can see the 5 minute price.

    Do short charging sessions damage battery?

    Hey everyone, I just downloaded the Optiwatt app that schedules your charging based on the cheapest charging from my electric company (Com Ed). Is it ok for the Tesla to start and stop charging so frequently? It charging at the cheapest times. But if it’s bad for the battery, I’ll stop...

    2017 p100d test drive found 800wh/mile ??

    I would totally go with the P100D. The door on the 100d needs to be fixed and that’s probably at least $1,500 or more. Definitely not a software bug, a sensor issue. It’s a common problem. Good luck with your purchase.

    2017 p100d test drive found 800wh/mile ??

    On the Falcon doors, do the doors show a grey or red line on screen like the pictures I attached? If so, it’s probably the radar sensors on the Falcon door that prevent it from hitting things. It’s a complicated repair and can cost 2k-3k to repair and Tesla has to do it because of the...

    2017 p100d test drive found 800wh/mile ??

    In my 2017 P100D with 22" wheels it reads 400 Wh/mile in the summer months. In the winter it reads more, but I track every charge and every KhW that goes into my car and I have a spreadsheet. In real terms, I am getting a net of 523 wh/mile or using 1.91 miles per kWh. I have logged 35,423...

    2016 Model X in 2023? A few questions before I pass the event horizon.

    Nope, not dead. the Tesla did great and was safe. I was running about 800lbs in tongue weight.

    2017 Model X vs 2023 Model X

    Yeah, I was pretty set on getting a new Plaid, but the features I’m losing in the Plaid coupled with the $60k cost to upgrade caused me to really appreciate mine.

    2016 Model X in 2023? A few questions before I pass the event horizon.

    Probably. It’s a project truck that’s being restored. I was taking it to a budy’s shop to get some body work done and get a new 360 and trans installed. So, no drivetrain. The Tesla pulled it as good as my 2500. Better with the Regen.

    2016 Model X in 2023? A few questions before I pass the event horizon.

    HI Anthony, I bought a December 2017 MX P100D and I absolutely love it. I was considering the same choice you were with a new Y vs a used X. I periodically tow my cars and cars of friends and the X is literally the best towing vehicle I owned for this purpose. I use my 2021 2500HD Duramax...

    2017 Model X vs 2023 Model X

    I have a December 2017 build Model X P100D and I test drove a Plaid Model X yesterday with the thoughts of upgrading but after driving it I couldn't justify spending another $60k on top of my current X. A few thoughts I had about the differences between a Performance VS Plaid. Given the...
