    Deliveries of $80k X?

    BTW thank all of you who posted in this thread--I got much information, insights and realistic reassurance. Thank again all.

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    It's a matter of choice and priorities. I'll use FSD and Superchargers frequently and there was time window on getting them transferred. It is possible Tesla will offer the incentive again, but nothing guaranteed. I struck while the iron was hot. But holding out is a choice if you are not...

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    Took delivery of my MX today. Build was 3/24-- No apparent camera or RGB lighting. The build quality is superb. Driving this versus my 2017 MX is a different world. Like the color though it shows more dirt. I live on a 2-mile dirt road complete with washboards. ruts, and potholes. Car solid...

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    Yes. Be a big push in the last week of March.

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    No--as least I can't see build date anywhere. Is it somewhere where I can see?

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    Just got my vin. OD was 2/7, Est. Delivery 3/8-3/15. Was 3/22. Things picking up. BTW Tesla notified me via app that they need proof of insurance. Is that for my present car (2017 MX) or for the new one? Do they assume insurance will transfer? Rebate model.

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    I would not worry. Tesla is wanting to deliver as many cars as possible before the end of the month. It takes longer to get a car to Main than San Jose. They ship all distant places first and then work back closer to home. You will get yours--it may be after the 20th, but they want your...

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    Mine (rebate version) just updated form "March" to "March 1- March 22". Sounds like the rebate models are coming off the line soon,

    X Owner test drives new Model X Dual-Motor - Jan2024

    I have a 2017 MX 100D--Love the car but a couple of challenges--The HVAC in the 2017 is not up to the task of keeping the car cool in the 105+ degrees I live in in the Mojave Desert. The new heat pump should solve this (I have a 2024 Incentive version on order). I am going to miss the self...

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    Ordered Tax incentive model (Base, 5-seat, Stealth Grey, Steering wheel, 20"tires and wheels, Black interior.). This is the only configuration that qualifies at the moment. Trading in my 2018 MX with all MCU, Camera, Cpu upgrades. Transfer Both FSD and Unlimited lifetime.Supercharging. My...

    Collision Repair--Is this a record?

    It was a "subframe"--I also wiped out my suspensions $30K repair. Mine is a 2017 100D.

    Is this a record for the longest repair job

    In 5 days it will be 8 full months since I dropped my Model X off for collision repairs. It has been a nightmare. The MX is my only car and I only had a month of rental coverage on mt Tesla insurance. It took over 5/6 months just to get the repair parts. One key part was out of stock and...

    Collision Repair--Is this a record?

    I ripped out my suspension on my MX. The car has now been in the repair shop for over 7 months. Most of the delay was because a key part was out of stock. So my car sat in the shop for about 5 months waiting on the missing part. They had $20K of other parts just sitting--waiting until all was...

    2nd Tesla - model X delivery DISASTER

    I bought an inventory model and got a big reduction. But the term means different things today--Mine was like a loaner--had over $1000 miles on it. Back in the day, inventory cars were used for showrooms and test drives (many overnight). Now most inventory cars are just like the new cars on...

    Supercharger - Hesperia, CA (LIVE 17 Nov 2020, 20 V3 stalls)

    Glad to see this finally happening. This has been scheduled since January of 2017. Excellent place for the 160K people that live in Victor Valley plus all who are traveling to the Sierras or to LV. For those who live in the High Desert, it will be nice to top off before heading home after a...

    2017 model X HW3 and MCU2 upgrade

    Went out and tried again and it worked perfectly. At least on the Garage door. Gate still problematic but I think the Homelink program is working fine. Tomorrow I'll erase the existing Gate program and do the whole thing from scratch. Thank you for your input. Almost there.

    2017 model X HW3 and MCU2 upgrade

    Yes--it doesn't let me get to first base. When I get to the programming screen at step one it says to start-this may take a minute--then after two minutes it brings me back yo yje same screen, What software version do you have--I have 20.24.6.9---sometimes capabilities return on the next...

    2017 model X HW3 and MCU2 upgrade

    One issue I'm having with the upgrade. My Homelink no longer operates my Garage door opener or automatic Gate. Is this a known issue? I even tried deleting devices in Homelink and tried to reprogram. After getting the car in front of the garage I hit start--just stalls in a loop--after a...

    2017 model X HW3 and MCU2 upgrade

    Put in the jump drive today. Sentry is fantastic. I never thought we would ever get this capability. Resolution and color is much better than expected. Set up and playback is EZ PEEZY. I can't believe the scope of the upgrade--speed, capability, safety, fun --It is like I have a new car.

    2017 model X HW3 and MCU2 upgrade

    It was $2693.75--That is tax included.--A bargain--He said $200 cheaper to use old screen.

    2017 model X HW3 and MCU2 upgrade

    I got my MCU2/AP3.0 done today--after 3 cancellations. Process could not have been better. In by 9 done by 3. Gave me loaner. When they gave me the estimate it was lower than expected. I asked if it included the new touch screen and he said no--but if want a new screen he would check and see...

    Rear mounted bike rack

    I just ordered a 1UP and it is in transit. Did a lot of research. I have a heavy e-bike so I got the Super Duty in black with an add-on so I can configure it for either one or two bikes. This seems to be a quality rack that mounts bikes super fast with no contact to the frame. Not the big name...

    12 Outlet question--car camping

    I have some 12v camping gear and I have a 12 volt adapter for a CPAP machine I use at night. I simply would like to know whether the current in the MX 12v outlets comes from the small 12v battery or from the massive traction battery? Makes a huge difference in knowing how much I can use the 12...
  24. B

    Is the 12v battery a warranty item under the New Car Warranty?

    Yes--my MX indicated a battery warning, Tesla mobile came out and replaced Battery free of charge. That was less than a month ago.

    MX Car camping with E-Bike--Charging?

    I'm content to have the Ebike batteries recharge overnight from the MX, That would give a nice long ride every day.

    MX Car camping with E-Bike--Charging?

    I'm planning a solo car camping with my MX. Destination is a camping spot 40 miles from a Supercharger. I have an e-bike on order-there are really cool biking trails close to the campsite. Campsite is primitive--no utilities. Question, Is is possible to recharge my e-bike using an inverter in...

    It's official! Tesla website says HW2.0 cars "scheduling now" for MCU2 upgrade!

    It continues. . . .I got a call from Tesla service and he informed me that the AP 2.0s are NOT being scheduled yet. He suspects two more months. They then cancelled the appointment so now the waiting game begins. . .again.

    It's official! Tesla website says HW2.0 cars "scheduling now" for MCU2 upgrade!

    Update--I got an email saying they misunderstood--they ARE doing the $2500 upgrade and invited me to make a SC appointment. Waiting for the confirmation.

    It's official! Tesla website says HW2.0 cars "scheduling now" for MCU2 upgrade!

    As I suspected Tesla replied that the Upgrade is not available yet and will be a SC required install when available. Hello John this is Tesla Mobile service, we are reaching out to you in regards to your scheduled mobile appointment. For the appointment related to the hardware 3 retrofit, at...

    A little Northeast Oklahoma Camping in the X Last Weekend...

    I agree. I'm intrigued by the idea of car camping with an X--especially solo or couples camping. Really be interested in seeing a really good mattress solution somewhere between a Dream Case and a Single inflatable mattress. I'm wondering if a 4 inch memory foam topper custom cut to fit would...

    It's official! Tesla website says HW2.0 cars "scheduling now" for MCU2 upgrade!

    I also scheduled successfully. Mobile service. I'm expecting a call or email saying that they cannot do this via mobile service. Next week will tell whether or not they cancel or change to a SC. BTW why would they "invite" you when this is not a free upgrade. $2.5K will limit the number of...

    Family man finding the S a little too tight. Is the X significantly better with kids?

    Back to OP question. I'm a grandpa. Thirteen grandchildren. They LOVE riding in the MX. I just had major body work done and was given a MS by Enterprise--Paid by Tesla INS. Wonderful experience BTW. I drove the MS for 10 days. I was impressed on day one--until I had to get out--groan on...

    Is Your MCU1 Model X Still on 2019.40.2.1?

    I see that 2020.4 is now rolling out--seems like some AP 2.0 are getting this update.
  34. B

    Is Your MCU1 Model X Still on 2019.40.2.1?

    That is my take as well. I'm trusting that they are working on a work around to provide as many features as possible to the MCU1 AP 2.0 buyers as possible. After all, selling FSD implies that those who purchased it will eventually be able to enjoy what they purchased. It is hard for us to argue...

    Should I Copy My Wife.....

    Why get an inferior car just for variety? After having a MX it is difficult to go back. If you can afford, it get the car that you like the best. Mere appearance is secondary to function--at least for me. But the wow factor is still nice in the X. I still get comments almost every time I'm...

    MX or ICE - so hard to decide

    It is not hard at all--especially for those of us who have had an EV. You site the one area where ICE cars might have a slight edge--refueling speed. That is only an issue on long trips when you are focusing on time. First off, it does not take that much more time--maybe 10 minutes more a stop...

    Insurance Question: Proof of anti-theft/tracking device

    I just changed insurance companies and there is a discount if you have anti-theft/tracking devices. I know my MX has both with Sentry and Tracking but my insurance company is looking for "proof" and lists the original sticker or purchase documents as means to supply the documentation. What did...

    Model X Road Noise

    Some thoughts. The very low drag numbers on the MX argue against wind noise. But I think you will find that vehicle weight significantly increases tire noise. Since the MX is a very heavy car we get more tire noise and more tire wear. It is physics. But there are sound dampening...

    Whither Santa?

    I recently got the latest SW update. I like the new visualizations. I thought Santa might look better a little larger so I turned on the Christmas mode and, low and behold, Santa has gone missing. When parked Santa appears sideways in his sleigh but when the car is engaged Santa disappears...

    Sentry mode does not work

    If recording on Sentry mode is the only limitation for AP 2.0 owners going forward, I'm okay with that. Keep in ming that AP2.0 owners got unlimited lifetime supercharging- New sales don't. For me the unlimited free supercharging is used all the time. The crippled Sentry Mode still gives good...

    Road trip reflections on NOA--Roadtrip

    I just completed a 1000 mile road trip from So Cal to Grass Valley (Nor Cal). I took I5 north and 99 south. Are are my reflections (2019.12.1.1) : I have a 2017 AP 2.0, MCU ver 1 model X. The AP driving experience is light years more advanced than when I first purchased the MX. OVERALL...

    FSD for V2 MCU/APU battle. Any one purchase it for V2

    Also AP 2.0, MCU 1.0--Bought FSD--$2K. I agree with jfbaudio, T may be committed to honoring those that purchased FSD with the upgrades, but they may not want to continue offering FSD for those in that class who have not yet purchased it. In essence they may close the window as the upgrades...

    Upgrade (to HW3.0) fate of AP.2.0 owners who purchased FSD?

    Thanks all for the research and postings. I feel reassured that (eventually) I will not have wasted my $ upgrading to FSD. There is ample documentation that a free upgrade to HW 3.0 was promised to make reneging on that promise difficult. I actually can't see myself going to sleep until my...

    Upgrade (to HW3.0) fate of AP.2.0 owners who purchased FSD?

    I was thinking about the fate of MX/MS owners who have AP 2.0 that have purchased FSD. There have been ambiguous and contradictory statements regarding the upgrade path to AP 3.0 hardware. At first Elon tweeted that there would be an FREE upgrade path to HW 3.0 for all AP 2.0 and higher owners...

    Hidden feature included with Auto fold mirror setting?

    Okay, I was wrong. Self presenting doors still open in garage. Something is different but I have not put my finger on it. Big disappointment as this is a major conundrum for me--I love and use the SPD door feature but hate getting smacked by the door in my garage--Additionally I puts more...

    Hidden feature included with Auto fold mirror setting?

    The recent update included a feature to auto fold mirrors at specific locations. Since I have a two-car garage and my other car is a Tundra, it is a little tight and the auto fold mirrors is nice. I have a home where the attached garage is actually used as an entry-exit 95% of the time. The...

    Anyone buy a new inventory MX?

    This was in 9/17. They even drove a MX to my house (70 miles away) for a test drive! I was equivocating as to whether to buy. It was at the end of a quarter and they were trying to push them out. I simply asked if there was anything they could do to sweeten the pot. I let it go for a day or...

    Anyone buy a new inventory MX?

    I bought aa 2017 sept. AP 2.0. No regrets. It's a cost benefit decision. Mine was discounted $13,500. Those days may be past. It had 1K miles on it. Equipped just like I wanted it--color, everything. While they generally don't negotiate--they are less firm with inventory. They won't budge...
