Finally went back to stock tires this week. Continental Sportcontact6. 100% quieter. Also the ride feels more compliant, which is good. The DWS06+ were just way too loud and rough. I'm only sticking with these tires for this car going forward.

These look very nice. Also interested in the price, material, link, all the above :) How much change did it have on your camber?

Good data points. Wow that's really negative! What ride height setting is that on? Did you happen to have any measurements off a previous alignment to compare the gauge to the alignment numbers? I was thinking it would have reduced camber by about 1deg, but guess not. My 2022 MX Plaid rear...

Excellent find! Thought I asked in this thread, but was in another thread. I didn't know that was the grade in the part description. Looks like someone could reduce camber issue for ~$30 in materials and some elbow grease. Here's what I've found. McMaster-Carr has lots of M12 stainless...

Or have a photo of the original bolt head?

I found the bolt details in another post. M12x1.75 x 46. I’m wondering if it’s better to just get M12x1.75x 50 bolts since adding a 3 mm washer. Hopefully the hole in the body allows an additional millimeter of thread. Does anyone know the grade of bolt used from Tesla?

I’d love to know original bolt size/length to know how much thread engagement I’m losing by putting washers. Maybe the same info for the new bolt. IIRC thought macsboost switched to Allen head bolt which has a smaller head.

Very good feedback thanks for sharing. I’m wishing I stuck with my original tire even though it had short life. The contact sport 6 was about 80% quieter than my new DWS +. Next round I guess. For now riding in very low to accelerate wear 😜

Do camber bolts need to be torqued in the loaded position (car on the ground)?

what wheel size are you on? Please share feedback once you have them on. Thanks.

OEM round wheel looks nice. For those that have it, when rotating the wheel does it "wobble"? Like the axis of rotation is not in the center of the wheel? Also does anyone know how it compares to the older pre-refresh model S/X wheel? I had a 2016 X previously and I thought its steering...

I have this same sound on my model X but it’s on drivers side. Kind of like rubbing two pieces of styrofoam together. It’s cringy for me. It occurs more often in hot weather.

Whatever you get, don't get Continental DWS 06+. I got them for the 22XP and they're SUPER loud. Weird as I've had the DWS06 (non-plus version) on my 2016 X w/ 22" and they're super quiet. I'm thinking next set will be the OE plaid tires (even though they wear in 15k miles or so) or may...

Sad times. I may have it but unconfirmed. I have a 22' plaid X with about 10k miles. I drive pretty slow about 80% of the time. The other day making a very slight right and accelerating with somewhere between 25% and 50% throttle, I hear a clicking sound, but dull sound, not metal on metal...

Following. Nice work sorka!

Whew! Update complete. Before my update completed, I got an error that the car has no charge and dyno mode enabled, strange. I was going to plug it in, but i never let the car get below 50%. So I waited and eventually the car showed 80% installed, then rebooted, then update complete. Had me...

buzing gone for me but car is still stuck at 60% installed. Hope it's not stuck.

Thanks for this write-up SWSPB! I'm considering doing this on my Jan 22 X.

Got the car back after about 3 weeks. Works fine now. They replaced inverter, lots of bolts, and pyrotechnic (I think it's a fuse).

Mine had a similar issue. Mine died right as I was leaving work. After about 10 seconds of leaving the parking spot. Car went completely dead. Towed to SC. Error message on screen was something like "rear left motor disabled". SC stated rear motor inverter part(big circuit board that's...

There's a PDF out there that shows all the adjustment points of the FWD. The inner panels have to be removed to access the adjustment points. I believe there are like 6 or 8 adjustable features. I think the difficult part is to support the door while adjustments are made along with lots of...

That's great info all. Thanks.

What April 7th!? What happened that took 100 days in service? Hope they fixed all issues flagged.

Did you ever end up shimming the rear upper control arms? Curious what size shims/washers and if you switched to a longer bolt.

It’s 01/22. They said rear motor inverter part was ordered. Car is supposed to be “ready next week.” I looked up Tesla motor inverter on eBay and it looks like a circuit board. Not sure why but I was picturing a giant electric motor armature.

My 2022 MXP died on Jul 6th. Same issue. Motor disabled, red scary screen stating pull over safely, powered down and may not restart. Well it definitely didn't restart. Got out and couldn't get back in the car. Luckily this happened while in the parking deck at my office and not on the hwy...

sorry this is no longer available

What did you end up doing? I would paint the back "TESLA" word no problem. As for the front emblem, I would recommend a complete emblem wrap (with the sides). I painted both front emblem and the rear "TESLA". The rear looks flawless after 30k miles, but the front emblem looks beat up. I...

Cursed! I read this post. Now I will look for it.

Went on McMaster Carr to check available washers. One of these would probably be good once we know the size of the bolt... I'm thinking these two are possible options for chemical and corrosion resistance.

I saw this and was thinking the exact same thing! I am concerned about material incompatibility though. Just as an example, if the bracket and cradle were aluminum and we introduced a stainless washer between, corrosion would develop between the aluminum and stainless parts. Not knowing the...

My 2016 showed this. I inspected a refresh also and it had the same visible wiring harnesses.

following... This is interesting, I was just going to post if the refresh plaid will be more energy efficient than my old P90D. If there isn't an energy chart, does it show wh/mi anywhere even if not in a chart?

Thanks. Was your new VIN same color and options?

What happens when you reject it? Did it take a long time before the next car was available? Somehow I thought there were some sort of penalty if the car was rejected, like not being able to buy a Tesla later or something of sorts.

A few days ago, they told me they need another week, so I'm thinking end of next week. If it's accurate, that'll be about two weeks. I do have several other things I didn't mention previously (unpainted edge near tailight, dirty interior door, polish on plastic trim, one side of bumper is...

i cant tell what's going on in this picture. Looks like the door is just open. When I close the doors on my '16 X, the window hits the rubber seals, then slides up about 1/2 inch.

Has anyone gotten an alignment on the refresh X (LR or Plaid)? I'm curious if the rear camber was updated to more neutral or same as the prior cars. If so please share numbers and what ride height the car was at during alignment. TIA!

When I went to pick up my car, it had the misaligned door issue on driver's side also. The driver's door is higher than the trim in front of the mirror just like your photo. My Driver's FWD also was low near the rear hatch, so it was misaligned near the wheel arch and roof. Does anyone know...

Hi all. I hope everyone gets there cars soon. I tried to pick (msm, plaid, 22s, cream interior) mine up last Thursday, but had to ask them to fix several things prior to accepting. Both drivers side doors were misaligned and several other things needed to be addressed. So hard to walk away...

I didn't see that option on the ordering page. it's a bummer too. I liked the accented brakes also...

Thanks for the photos BryWay. Car looks amazing and the panel gaps look consistent. What ride height setting is shown in the photos? Can you share side view w/ both wheels when car is on low and very low? How does the camber look on the rear wheels (picture looks like rear camber is...

Thanks for sharing the photos! Is it me or does the rake angle of the car look different than the current Xs? Front seems much lower than the rear. All of the other refresh photos (not renderings) from the web appear the same w/ much lower front end. Not sure if chassis/motor/axle design was...

I have a passenger side rear ride height sensor available for sale. Item is used. This came off a 2016 Model X. $55 shipped. Only for sale within the USA. Comes with everything shown in the picture...bracket, sensor, linkage, and ball joint. Pictures below.

sold

Used Blox lowering links. Comes with all the original parts(links and locking clips), packaging, and instructions. This is for a model X. It looks like it would work on a model S, but I personally can't confirm. $60 shipped. USA only.

That's great, thanks for the update. I hope I don't need air spring module. I hear it's like +$1k each... (out of warranty)

Tried this... unfortunately no luck, thanks though. I’ll just setup something with the service center next chance I get.

Nice vid. My height sensors had arms that were all black with the plastic ball joint. Original links definitely did not come off that easy for me.

Front is pretty much spot on... but I’ll check again after dinner.
