Yeah I'm used to seeing that but nothing this time. Just a service summary with nothing on it but that they checked the tire pressure 😆 and my car is ready for pickup.

Car is ready to pick up - no service summary other than saying the issue has been resolved 🤷🏻‍♂️

...and looks like it's not going to be ready because the "parts" need to come in. Very curious as to what piece of hardware failed.

Last Thursday while I was driving a short distance from home my 2022 MX started frantically sending dozens of alerts "Unable to charge - service is required" (over and over). I thought it was a software glitch because I tested and I was able to charge using my wall charger. Well, the next day...

Got the free trial last week and have used it a couple of times - it works really well! Ironically, I've had to turn it off when I want to change my music and then back on so I don't get "dinged"

As of today, you can physically block the internal camera with solid tape or one of those camera blocking sliders - autopilot will not complain (can't say about FSD). I noticed it also cannot see through sunglasses because it's just a camera not infrared so there are limitations on current cars...

You gotta be careful - it only qualifies for the 4k rebate if it's 25,000 or under. So if its' 25k and change, it's now 4k more expensive!

You're lucky that the other person at least had insurance. This happened to us and the other driver didn't have insurance and had no way to cover anything (she side swiped ours and 2 other parked cars - one of which was a very nice Range Rover). Our insurance covered the repair but we lost quite...

I know some folks are asking about the 4K tax credit - check it out below. https://electrek.co/2024/01/23/here-are-all-the-used-evs-that-qualify-for-the-new-4000-tax-credit/#:~:text=As%20long%20as%20they%20fit,Internal%20Revenue%20Code%20Section%2025E.

@kpanda17 - Great tip - especially with my son will be getting his license likely in the fall!

I purchased one from Hertz last week for my kids - 19k and change for a M3 Long Range. 87k miles on it but the drive train and battery still covered. I was able to see and test drive the car. Plenty of scratches and chips but also glad I don't have to worry about my kids learning on my Model X...

Statefarm has been really great for us. One of our cars got hit while parked and the driver didn't have insurance. Statefarm covered our damages (over 20k) and paid for a loaner car until the car was repaired (took a month). Our rates are really good too compared to others.

I went from a 2016 to a 2022 and couldn't agree more about auto-pilot. I highly highly prefer the 2016 autopilot due to all the nagging and complaining you have to deal with on the refresh. I actually don't use all that much because it gets so ridiculously annoying. I would also add, the older...

Really simple - click the right scroll wheel to deactivate it.

The S and X have the same wheel and yoke with the horn on the upper right.

Purely speculation, but since the new model 3 has no stalks and a center horn so we'll see if they start shipping the S and X with that as well.

I know this is an old post and didn't want to start a new one. Can I get a moderator to approve my username change? My refresh MX is white so my username doesn't really align :)

I'll definitely remember this - great tip!

That's interesting - haven't needed that but will keep that in mind. My situation is the fob works for unlocking and opening doors but then fails to detect when I get in the car. I'll test the battery - great suggestion.

I've recently come across an issue with my 2016 MX. The fob works for everything - auto present, doors, etc - but once I get in, the car won't drive because it says it can't detect fob. It takes like 30 seconds of my fiddling (clicking on the fob repeatedly) and it has ended up working but I...

Replaced the OEM Pirelli Scorpion to Continental all-season on my MX with 22's a couple of years ago. Handles just fine in the winter!

I can't tell if your wheels are black, but I use this and does a great job of covering it up. Amazon.com: Mission Automotive Black Car Rim Paint for Tesla Wheel Rims - Black Rim Touch Up Paint Blends Well - Easy to Apply Satin Matte Black Touch Up Paint - Resistant Black Wheel Paint - Alloy...

Had the same problem just for the drivers side 2016 so out of warranty. Total was a little over $700. Anything under a grand at the SC feels like I got off easy. I was told this was a known issue and it took all day but was happy to have my car back.

It's weather and driving habits (acceleration and speed). I discovered this on a road trip. I can't remember what it's called but there's a view for kwh that shows the recommended energy to maximize range in real-time. For maximizing range, letting autopilot drive was the best way. As others...

2016 MX 90D ~48k Miles - Passenger falcon door latch - Dead 12V battery - All 4 tires (at around 30k) - Front door actuators (driver and passenger) - Upper control arm (suspension creaking) - MCU1 to MCU2 - Roof spine applique detaching (fixed myself)

2016 90D cannot get summons to work via the app or my fob. I always had better success via the app, but now it just connects and I get a failed pop up.

2016 MX 90D - passenger side of my falcon wing just started doing this a couple of weeks ago. When opening the door the front corner is clipping the middle panel which is slightly raised now. If I can avoid another SC visit - I definitely would like to. I’ve never owned a car with so many...

Same here - unfortunately it will feel like every major update makes the response of the old chip more and more dated. The MCU2 is a night and day improvement.

Yep - have gone through a lot of posts including that one. I really do feel it’s the alignment as opposed to the actuator but give me a couple of weeks. Not throwing in the towel yet!

I realize that I’m the only one replying to my OP 😆 but I think I’ve figured out the issue - if it helps any one else. I don’t believe the actuator is the problem. I believe the original actuator on my ‘16 Tesla must have a lower tolerance when the door becomes misaligned (i.e. sagging). If you...

Darn - issue is back 😡. I’m going to ask this time to just quote me on one door instead of both.

How cool would it be if you could get Tesla FSD for whatever Tesla you get into when it identifies you via your phone. Tesla should just have a subscription for FSD.

Alright - got it working again. I noticed that if I pulled up on the door and closed, the latch mechanism worked fine also pushing on the middle of the door seemed to work. So the issue seemed to be alignment between the door and the hinge. I unscrewed the hinge and tried to position it lower...

My 2016 is out of warranty and wow - things are getting expensive. My drivers door latch is not working. The dealership is charging close to $1000 to replace it. Any way to try to do this DIY or other repair shops that work on Tesla?

I've never noticed any water issues with the FWD over the past 3 years. The biggest issues are things that you learn to be careful with which are not issues with manual doors (just like you would with manual doors when you don't have FWD). 1) as mentioned make sure you don't accidentally push...

I upgraded to MCU2 when I brought my car in for the eMMC recall. I have an AP1 MX and so the upgrade would only be for infotainment. The question of whether it's worth it is subjective (costed me 1500), but considering that the "brain" of the car is now a major improvement to me has made it feel...

I had them installed at Discount Tires. Called ahead to ensure they had the proper lifts and watched them do it. I did not have to purchase or bring anything.

Update: had 4 Continental DWS 06 tires installed for just under $1200. As mentioned, I had OEM Pirelli Scorpion NCS tires on at 38,000 miles were at the end of their life. So far really please with just the fact that I have “new tires” - much better grip and traction in the cold weather here in...

Still available?

Called Discount Tires and they said they have the right pads to work on Tesla. Thanks all!

Thanks for the info everyone. I have the Pirelli Scorpion Zeros so might just go with those. I'll take a look into the jackpads and most likely head to DiscountTires for the work especially for the warranty!

Hi guys - could use some suggestions/advice on tires. What are you guys doing when you need to change tires (after their worn)? Are you going to a tire shop or directly to Tesla service? I'm not seeing an option on the app to purchase new tires. The only thing I see is for flat tires. I have...

I just had this problem and scheduled an appointment. It put me out 2 weeks and my car died yesterday. The fire dept came out to the office because the smell was really strong and someone reported it (I don’t blame them). I think Tesla should expedite battery issues to avoid cars dying on...

No, not selling. I had an Infiniti QX60 I needed to offload and so was seeing if trading both would be entertaining to upgrade to a 100D. Ended up selling the QX60 to Carmax. CPO MX 90Ds are going for between 68-76K depending on options (right at KBB). In my example, they're looking at a...

22” wheels 28k miles never any issues. That’s what Tesla valued my MX is for trade in. Yet they offered me KBB for my Infiniti! And... this is probably why Tesla is struggling! Lol

I placed a non-reservation order on 7/29 for Dual Motor AWD Midnight Silver, white interior (changed later), aero wheels. Delivered yesterday 9/10 :)

I'll take it, if still available. PMing you.
