    battery fuse requires replacement soon? what is this?

    Tesla just did mine for free. They said it is now covered under the HV warranty. If you previously paid, I'd reach out for reimbursement. Seems like a recent decision.

    Model X does not like middle bucket seats forward when driving

    My 2020 Model X Long Range Plus notifies me to move the middle bucket seats back when driving. Is there any issue in having them forward? The vehicle is hard to pack for road trips with two people when those seats are back, and moving them forward offers more room for storage.

    Coat Hooks for Long Range Plus?

    Yeah, this is a huge bummer. It makes picking up dry cleaning and road trips a big pain. I can't believe nobody has designed a solution for this.

    Sentry mode viewer takes forever to load

    I'm about 7 minutes into a black screen with a spinning circle. Enough time to Google, login to TMC, and still nothing. I have a Samsung T7 1Tb SSD, and it seems like that purchase was a bad idea.

    Utility provider (So Cal Edison) estimated EV charging use way off

    They must have really faulty algorithms. My older Tesla Wall Connector is on a 60A circuit, and it's the device that draws 48A in the house.

    Utility provider (So Cal Edison) estimated EV charging use way off

    I do not have solar on my house. I could not find a more appropriate category on the forum for this question, as it is not specifically related to one of the vehicle models and is an energy-related question. I can see how you would want a "net" usage after power production number compared to...

    Utility provider (So Cal Edison) estimated EV charging use way off

    Does anyone else get estimated monthly usage from their electricity utility each month showing how they compare to neighbors, with usage calculating estimates for EV charging? So Cal Edison sends me one every month, and they seem to be way off with what portion of my kWh usage is attributed to...

    Adjusting amp current draw when using 6-30 to 14-50 adapter

    I purchased a 6-30 to 14-50 adapter for an Airbnb with a 6-30 30A outlet in their barn. Tesla does not sell a 6-30 adapter for the Mobile Connector, so this is a hack of sorts. It's unclear to me if I need to adjust the current draw in the car to 30A (or maybe less to be safe) to ensure my...

    Block Gap in Six Seater

    I like that GS-Design trunk shield option, but the price is over 4X what I would imagine it should cost - and it looks EU only. It would have been really nice if Tesla had designed this feature into the 6-seat configuration. It's the only real drawback besides the cockpit seats not laying flat.

    Floor mat liner for Model X 6-seater (2020)

    It seems that there wasn't much interest in this topic, so I'll post some options here for future reference in case someone has questions or wants to expand on this. My search as brought me to a few top options so far: 3D MAXpider 16-20 Tesla Model X Behind 3rd Row Kagu Cargo Liner - The...

    Anyone get Vin assigned recently?

    When were your original order dates? It seems they are over 1 year out on order-to-delivery dates at this point. Are they still fulfilling January 2022 orders? February 2022?

    Floor mat liner for Model X 6-seater (2020)

    Looking for recommendations for the cargo liner for the legacy Model X 6-seater. Ideally, the same mat would work for the 3rd row up or down. If that doesn't exist, that's okay.

    HEPA Filter Replacement

    We know Tesla engineers have tested the OEM filter to last 4 years under whatever conditions they are assuming are normal driving conditions, and to do that under rigid HEPA filtration standards. We do not know if a third-party filter has tested the filter, what the resistance is, or what the...

    HEPA Filter Replacement

    My only experience with HVAC systems is in residential systems, but I know that the filter chosen can decrease/increase the life of the system based on the resistance of the filter. If there's twice the resistance with a filter not tested for the system of the car, that could end up being a very...

    OEM 6 seat all weather model x floor mats

    I have not but am currently looking at various options. I'm starting with trying to figure out how I want to line the trunk area, and if there are good options for putting up a protective cover so things do not fall in-between the two bucket seats.

    HEPA Filter Replacement

    It would be great to see if these filters are tested, which is an expensive process. Given how variable the performance is of residential HVAC filters, it would be good to know these filters perform well.

    Cashback & Bonus Points for Supercharging and other EV chargers

    Have you used this card yet? I downloaded the app, but I'm leery about giving out my SSN to the company. They state they do not run your credit, but then ask for your social. Some reviews mentioned having their identity stolen around the same time and blamed this company. Of course, the world is...

    Thoughts on adding additional support to a bike rack to overcome the 120 lbs weight limit?

    That thing is a fraction of the price of the ones I have been considering from Kuat, 1Up, Yakima, etc. Does it keep the bikes steady and from every touching the back of the X if you were forced to brake hard?

    Thoughts on adding additional support to a bike rack to overcome the 120 lbs weight limit?

    Did you ever get further clarification on this? It seems that Tesla did not really give you much other than keeping it to 120 lbs with the bike rack. I've been looking at various bike racks, and some weigh 60-something pounds with no bikes on them, which pretty much leaves you carrying...

    Metro Express Lanes rules

    I am also looking for clarification on this subject. I called the 91 Express Lanes which offers a Zero Emission Vehicle account, and it seems like their situation changed from being free or discounted on the other Express Lanes throughout California to only being on their toll roads. It looks...

    Functional Third Party Charging Control Software

    Does this company not allow you to provide Tesla credentials other than giving them your login information? I would think there is a 3rd party login option, or a key access like ABetterRoutePlanner offers? I know that conventional wisdom says that if it is free, then you are the product, but...

    Adding Tow Package to 2020 Model X - OEM vs aftermarket options

    I recently purchased a 2020 Model X Long Range Plus and it does not have a tow hitch. I would like the option to be able to take bikes on a road trip. Has anyone added it after owning the car? What should I expect to pay, and is it best to go to Tesla for this, or find an aftermarket option?

    Tesla X Sentry / Dashcam USB drives failing issues

    Did you follow the instructions above to format to exfat on the Mac and add the proper folder to the directory? I did that, and when plugging into the car the x on the dashcam went away. Don't format in the car or forget to add the TeslaCam folder.

    Tesla X Sentry / Dashcam USB drives failing issues

    I started by doing it in the car, which lead to the issue. I followed the instructions above by doing it on my computer, and the issue seems to be resolved.

    Tesla X Sentry / Dashcam USB drives failing issues

    I selected exfat in Mac Disk Utility and followed the instructions to add the folder TeslaCam to the drive. So far so good on my Samsung SSD. Previously, I made the false assumption that formatting the drive in the car was the superior option.

    Tesla X Sentry / Dashcam USB drives failing issues

    Is there a solution for formatting on a Mac with the regular disk utility tool? I do not have a Windows or Linux computer. I also do not understand the GPT / GUID and MBR discussion.

    Model X falcon wing door water intrusion when opening doors in rain

    How well did this hold up over time? I'm assuming the additional drag is pretty meaningless.

    Long Range vs. Long Range Plus

    I've had a hard time finding a comparison for the 2020 Long Range Plus and 2020 (2019) Long Range. EVspecifications only has the 2021 Long Range Plus vs the 2020 Long Range, and I believe the 2021 LR Plus is different in that it has a different motor. I came across at November 2019 build (so...

    FS: 2017 Model X 100D w/ FSD - 27K Miles - 68K Firm

    What is the trade in pricing? Why not just sell it for $5K over that to avoid being stuck with the trade in numbers.

    Model X LR 2022 - 3.5K miles - best reasonable offer - Princeton, NJ (actual car, no issues, no flipping)

    You just excluded at least half of your potential market.
  33. grayguy

    Model X LR 2022 - 3.5K miles - best reasonable offer - Princeton, NJ (actual car, no issues, no flipping)

    It would probably help the cause to sell it to put a price on it. There's a price at which everything sells immediately.

    Not Available Signature Model X - SF Bay Area

    For those of us less cool and do not know, but are in the market to purchase an X, do you mind posting the list of features - ideally screenshots of the detailed feature list from your car or app? What is the price that will compel you not to take the trade-in value? Is there an extended...

    No Way to Talk to Human at Tesla

    Can you post a link to the email address? I can't find it, and the "Contact Us" link just makes you select drop-down options that take you to links for information. I never get a form to actually message a human.

    Model X Long Range Reservation For Sale (Pre Price Hike)

    How exactly do these reservation sales work? I see a lot of people trying to sell them, but have no idea if any of them are successful and why Tesla is allowing it. I was under the impression that Tesla does not allow reservations to be sold, which is why so many people who are on a waiting list...

    2017 Tesla Model S 100D For Sale

    Purchase an used 2020 Model X long range plus

    I'm looking for a similar MX at the moment if I can find what I want before the end of the year. Finding a low-mileage 6-seater with FSD at a reasonable price is not very easy. There's a lot of stuff out there north of $70K though. What auction sites are you looking at? I wish there was an...

    WTB: Model X w/6-seat config

    I am in the market to buy a used Model X with a 6-seat configuration, and these are my preferred setups. I figure someone out there might know a friend or relative who's considering selling. 2019/2020 (raven) model. Ideally, with FSD, but open. 2016/17 - 100D/P100DL, MCU2, FUSC, Free Premium...

    Poll: Does your X have the "Shudder" issue?

    Your poll might be measuring how many of each model exist out there (or on this forum thread). What it does not measure is the percentage of each version of the vehicle that has (or had) shudder, which is what I think you were hoping to find out. It is probably a hard question to answer, and...

    Dashcam doesn't work due to DAS 2.0?

    Resurrecting an old thread here because I see some things stated that do not align with my experience. I posted in more depth about it in this thread, but in short the cameras on my MS with HW 2.0 (delivered end of March 2017) recorded Sentry and Dashcam footage onto my SD card when I tested it...

    How to access Sentry recordings on MS with HW 2.0 and MCU 1?

    @ucmndd and anyone else that was following this, I confirmed with Tesla that HW 2.0 / MCU 1 cars had Sentry and DashCam for a period, but it was [silently] "removed in a software update at some point."

    How to access Sentry recordings on MS with HW 2.0 and MCU 1?

    I'm pretty sure I've already looked and confirmed with Tesla that I have HW 2.0 and MCU 1, and given my production and delivery dates in March 2017, that would confirm it. I can't check at the moment because the car is in the body shop from an e-bike that crashed into it while parked in front of...

    How to access Sentry recordings on MS with HW 2.0 and MCU 1?

    There is no 2nd Tesla in the family, although I have someone that very much wishes that to be the case. Also, I remember specifically grabbing these DashCam clips when I added the USB drive to the car to test it out when I received the feature update. I'm sure someone can go back and unpack what...

    How to access Sentry recordings on MS with HW 2.0 and MCU 1?

    I can't speak to what other people have claimed about my car, but it most certainly - 100% - had not only Sentry, but the ability to save DashCam footage while driving. It sounds like those two features are separate as well, right? Like some cars have Sentry but not DashCam? Here's the TeslaCam...

    How to access Sentry recordings on MS with HW 2.0 and MCU 1?

    Just following back up on this to make sure you saw that I am happy to provide the videos recorded on my HW 2.0 MCU 1.0 MS built in 2017. I'm just not sure how to share the files in a manner that they can be verified. It would seem uploading them to Youtube or a similar site does not allow one...

    How to access Sentry recordings on MS with HW 2.0 and MCU 1?

    I'm happy to provide them. Let me know how you would like to see them. The feature was alive and well on my car. I only recently realized it was no longer there when I purchased an SSD and plugged it into my car to use the feature again. Until recently I didn't even know there were HW 2.0 cars...

    How to access Sentry recordings on MS with HW 2.0 and MCU 1?

    What I find most frustrating and confusing is that this feature was removed from my HW 2.0 MCU 1 Tesla Model S. I used to have Sentry recordings and 360 recordings while driving. I have the recordings to prove it and can upload them somewhere if someone wants me to. The files look like this and...
