    Wired iPhone Charging

    I have a 2018 Model X. My latest iPhone can't be charged in the X because the port in the X (in front console next to the drive/passenger seats) is no longer compatible with Apple products. Does anyone have a workaround solution to this? Am gazillion years old so, not tech savvy; feel free to...

    Ford will add NACS to next gen EVs!

    Haha, not satire (though it reads that way!). I am going to trade-in my MX for F150. I really have no reason to stick with Tesla after this announcement. Eventually, other car makers will catch-up to Tesla’s FSD too. Tesla’s market share could then drop significantly unless they somehow suddenly...

    Ford will add NACS to next gen EVs!

    One more issue is Tesla service. They charge 160$ every time just to diagnose the issue and the 160 doesn’t go toward the repair! There is no other game in town to get a Tesla repair done so we are stuck. Won’t have such issues with the established companies.

    Ford will add NACS to next gen EVs!

    Has anyone else been waiting for the day that other car manufacturers would be allowed to use Tesla Supercharging Stations? While I love the tech in Teslas, the cars have so many issues (not just cosmetic, but issues like shudder, poor suspension, etc.). Supercharging network was the only...

    Loss of Theater after 2022.20.8 Update!

    Has anyone lost theater after the 2022.20.8 update? I just see blank screen while arcade and toy box work as normal! How can I get the theater back? Any tips or ideas welcome. Thanks!

    Has anyone gotten their tinting done at Jet Black Tint in the Bay Area, CA? Can you please share your experience? Can DM me. Thanks.

    Model X Window Tinting

    Admin seems to have deleted my post about tinting for some reason!! It did not have anything negative! Anyway, if anyone has experience with the Solargard VortexIR ceramic tint, could you please provide some feedback. Does it keep the X cooler? Also, if anyone has experience with Jet Black...

    Does anyone have experience with using Solargard Vortex IR Ceramic tint? Is it comparable to XPEL or at least comes close? VortexIR® Ceramic Film Series

    AP stopped working - Reduced Front Radar Visibllity

    Turns out, nothing was blocking it. Took it in, SC said they fixed the issue, take it back and boom, the same issue came back! Have to take it back in again. What a pain in the...

    AP stopped working - Reduced Front Radar Visibllity

    Took my car in for a bumper replacement. Car looked great with the new bumper, took it for a spin, drives nicely, engage autopilot, drives itself like a beauty for about a mile or so and then it goes to town with the take control shenanigans. Error message shows reduced front radar visibility...

    Good Time to Sell

    With the chip shortage-related car production issues, would now be a good time to sell an MX for more than what you would usually get for a used vehicle? Has anyone sold or bought an MX recently and was the price higher than usual for a used vehicle?

    Tree Gum Removal

    Does anyone have suggestions on how to remove the gum from certain trees without damaging your car paint and windshield (looks like acorn trees above the superchargers)?

    2021.4.3 falcon wing doors and trunk not operating properly

    Yes, I can confirm this too. Has anyone went back to look at your settings? I haven't but will check shortly to see if they got reset to not opening fully at this location.

    Maybe a bug but if others didn't encounter this then could be specific to manufacture date?

    Legacy MX Pricing

    With MX also moving to the horizontal screen club, any guesses on how much a 75D mid-2018 MX with about 50K miles sell for (full FSD, 6 seater, blue)? Excellent condition and no shudder issue, ever. Poll answers don't need to be for this exact specification - it's a general poll for any 75D...

    Total Shutdown of Electronics on Freeway!!

    It came back when I rebooted after parking. I logged it when it happened so they should be able to look it up when I take it in. I am going to ask them if they will repair/replace MCU at no cost if it happens after my warranty is over since I am reporting it while still under warranty.

    Total Shutdown of Electronics on Freeway!!

    Has anyone had a total electronics shutdown while driving? What could be the reason? Mine is a mid-2018 MX 75D. It still let me drive, but i didn't have back-up camera as the touchscreen went black! Could this be a MCU issue? I upgraded to HW3 last year. I heard about the MCU recall or...

    MX beyond 40K Miles is Expensive to Maintain?

    Should I order tires myself and have them shipped to the SC since my car will be at the SC for some other issue? If anyone knows how and where to order for shipping direct to an SC in California please post links. Mine are just standard Contis: 265/45R20 CCLXS T0 for the front 275/45R20...

    MX beyond 40K Miles is Expensive to Maintain?

    Has anyone replaced all 4 tires at the SC and had them do wheel alignment recently? SC is charging a total of $1450 to replace all 4 tires including labor! I am having them replace with the same Continental tires that came from factory, not upgraded ones. Is it possible to get the tires...

    Terrifying Noise from Driver's Side

    Yea I know all about the half-shafts, but that doesn't really explain the kind of noise I heard and I do not have the shudder issue (or at least, never noticed it). I am due to get the tires replaced next week and will be sure to inform SC about this noise. The rear tires are remarkably still...

    Terrifying Noise from Driver's Side

    This was terrifying because I never heard anything so loud while driving - I had just gotten on the freeway and started to speed up. At about over 55 mph I heard 3-4 extremely loud noises, kind of "thuds". It sounded like it came from the driver's side of the car. I pulled over to check and...

    A Dark Night...All Alone At a Supercharging Station in the Middle of Nowhere!

    No one is asking to mandate anything. If you look at the poll in this thread, you will notice that there is a question about pay per use for this option if Tesla makes it available. What I mean by Tesla will have to do it one day is that they have to deal with this issue when it becomes a...

    A Dark Night...All Alone At a Supercharging Station in the Middle of Nowhere!

    There is no comparison between an ICE vehicle and a Tesla because you can drive away (though may damage the car), with a Tesla at the supercharger there is no way to drive the car. Tesla would have to deal with this eventually because as they grow and become a dominant car seller someday, the...

    A Dark Night...All Alone At a Supercharging Station in the Middle of Nowhere!

    Yes, good points. However, this is something Tesla would have to deal with at some point and hope some type of new technology will be able to resolve these issues.

    A Dark Night...All Alone At a Supercharging Station in the Middle of Nowhere!

    That location, yikes! The problem is that no built in cameras will save someone from a crime if there is a determined criminal. The solution, especially if you are a woman who finds yourself having to unexpectedly charge at such locations despite best attempts not to, is for you to hit the...

    A Dark Night...All Alone At a Supercharging Station in the Middle of Nowhere!

    Not always, especially if it's a really secluded spot, and there are such supercharging locations mainly outside of the major cities. You can't stop a violent crime with a horn in such places.

    A Dark Night...All Alone At a Supercharging Station in the Middle of Nowhere!

    If you are a woman (or man, I suppose) who find yourself all alone at a supercharging station unexpectedly late at night in the middle of nowhere and you suddenly have someone scream at you out of nowhere, what would you do? You can't get out to unplug the charger so what is a solution? Tesla...

    Model X Tires - Replacement Miles

    The cost should be pretty much the same within each state since Tesla's SC's are its own.

    HPWC/breaker almost caught fire...thoughts?

    Wow, this is scary! I hired a Tesla recommended electrician to install mine back in 2019, not sure what Gen mine is, but I hope the electrician took care so that this type of thing doesn't happen. How do I ensure that mine has been installed correctly? Is an annual maintenance check is required...

    The majority, 34.3%, replaced the tires at or under 20K miles, 22.9% at 25K miles, and 20% replaced them at 30-35K.

    Model X Tires - Replacement Miles

    Looks like 26.1% of respondents thus far replaced between 30-35k miles, so it seems possible. I would like to know how some managed over 40k miles!

    Anyone with FSD or just purchased FSD and got scheduled (MCU2)?

    Why does the WO show MCU upgrade and then again underneath it Tegra MCU and AP 2.5 to Intel MCU and AP 3.0? Did they do 2 MCU upgrades for some reason or is that the same?

    Selling the MX - Tips

    I want to sell my Nov 2018 75D Blue with 6 white seats, 28K+ miles and FSD. Does anyone have any tips for the best way to sell the MX? What would be a reasonable price? I want to upgrade to the new MX just for the range as I drive between SoCal and NorCal often and tired of the time I spend...

    Trading in the 75D for Raven MX

    I have 24K miles on my June 2018 75D MX, FSD and free supercharging. I want to trade-in my MX for the new Raven, for the extra range. Does anyone have experience doing this and how much can I expect to lose from something like this? What would be a good deal if I want to trade my current MX for...

    @bayx not sure if I would have tinted the entire windshield. I think there was a thread on the whole windshield tinting a while back where people mostly seemed to have given it a thumbs down.

    Charging Above Set-Point with New Update

    Did anyone else notice that when the charging is scheduled (scheduled departure option) to a certain percentage, it's always charging above that set-point after the latest software update? I scheduled the charge to 90%, but it stops at 93% and sometimes at 92%! However, I didn't notice this...

    Tesla Wash - Does it Matter?

    This topic has been discussed many times before, but wanted to start a new thread again. On a recent business trip to the Central Valley, CA my MX was bombarded with bugs. A lot of bugs! When I got to Fresno, I looked for somewhere I can get it washed, but couldn't find any business that...

    4Yr Extended Warranty?

    MX is actually not a luxury car. If you remove the battery, it's more like a 35-40K car.
