I'm sure that you can but certainly not under warranty.

no, used a sliding cover. No glue on the lens.

I finally got the FSD trial when I received 2024.14.6 update. Any 2024.8.X are not compatible with FSD. Got FSD v12.3.6

I used a sliding cover, so, I didn't get any glue etc. on in.. Camera was NOT blurry before I covered it.

Before I got my free FSD trial, I had the interior camera blocked to prevent it from looking at my eyes when using autopilot. However, I just got the FSD trial and it won't activate FSD if the interior camera is blocked. So, I unblocked the camera and it is now blurry. I would think that this is...

I drag race frequently and I was thinking in temporary taking out the rear seats (either just the back row or the captain's chairs as well) I have not found any videos or instructions on how to do that for refresh Model X Plaid or Long Range. Does anyone have instructions and an estimate on how...

on the side of the road.. Let me pull the exact location from google maps

Got 12.3.6. last night 5/15/2024. Build 2024.14.6.e43dddb645f3

Maybe the way school zones are marked differently in your state. Here we have a 15 mph sign that says 15 mph when flashing.

I will find out soon. I'm sure that if the school bus is in my lane, it will work just fine but I'm wondering how it will handle a stopped school bus in the opposite lane..

I'm surprised that they have not covered school zones, at least not correctly. That is a major issue. If I'd go 45 mph (normal speed limit) in a 15 mph school zone, it could even lead to an arrest as it would be 30 mph over the limit. Of course, I'm monitoring it and slowed down but considering...

So, I FINALLY got my free FSD trial on my 2022 Model X Plaid. I used it this morning extensively and it's working amazing EXCEPT school zones. It completely ignores the flashing light with the school zone speed limits. Happened twice, on the way to my daughter's school an on the way back. 2...

When I create service request, I can choose from a list of service centers in my area.

I'm at 35k miles now and still no major issues.

Didn't feel a difference. Just saw the difference in the 60' time. MPH was also down a little. BTW, I bought a used set of Slipstream wheels (and painted them flat black) with Conti tires and raced and was back in the 9.80's, at least for 1 run.

I went with NEXEN tires when I replaced my tires around 30k miles because of the mileage warranty (70k miles) on the Nexens. The Nexens are also cheaper than the factory Continentals ($210 each at Walmart) and they are just as quiet as the Continentals. I can't see any difference in the way the...

Not bad looking for $35. BTW, they do offer the cover with black thread. I chose red as the car is red.

The Yoke on my 2022 MX Plaid is peeling really bad. Opened a service ticket and was told that they don't have any improved yokes available. So, it may be a while until I get the replacement. Found a cheap solution for the peeling yoke For $35 on Amazon, I got this vinyl yoke cover. It's a pain...

I opened a service request to replace my Yoke for the 2nd time and I got a call from Tesla. The guy told me that no Yokes are available as of right now for 2023 and older Model X or S at this point. I was told that the owners of those vehicles will get notified (even if out of warranty) and all...

Will they use the new ones for warranty replacements?

Does anyone know if Tesla already has an updated yoke with better material for warranty replacements? My first yoke was replaced 12 months ago and the replacement yoke started peeling again 3 months ago.. Makes no sense to replace with a yoke with a yoke using the same material.

If you look at taxation in those states, It's not government who pays for those investments. They steal your money via taxation first and then give you a fraction of it back in freebies. I rather have less taxes and private business investing in infrastructure. Every time government gets...

I wonder how they will handle for example battery replacement after 50k miles but before the end of the 150k mile battery warranty? I would hope that you would get a loaner in that case.

My spacers are just home depot 2mm washers. I installed them myself. Pretty easy to install.

Not sure why, but after 30k miles right now, range from new has only dropped 11 miles from 333 to 322. That's a 3.3% drop in rated range in 19 months.

I charge twice a week, Wednesday and Saturday to 90%, mixing in some small charges at local free chargers at places I frequent. Wednesday we usually have lunch at a Vietnamese Restaurant and there is a free 50kw CCS charger a block away. On road trips, I actually charge to high SoC to have...

Not hypermiling. I live in Florida and virtually don't use the climate control in 7 months, October to April. Even in summer, early morning drives are with just the fan blowing. No AC. No heater use in winter. Tires at 47 to 48 psi. Most of my miles are from my commute. Autopilot set to 75 but...

Did a 2800 mile road trip in comfort mode and it was wonderful. I'm sure that 22" vs. 20" plays a role.

Scanmytesla app. You need OBD2 harness and dongle

I do Mexico runs and have 27 drag strip runs BUT when I'm not racing someone, I cruise on Autopilot. Most of my driving is on Autopilot and traffic to work is heavy. I'm in Florida and 7 months of the year, no climate control. In summer, I have AC off on my morning commute but run the AC on the...

Some pics taken right now..

30000 mile review of my 2022 Model X Plaid. Just over 19 months of ownership and 30k miles so far and I enjoyed every single mile. Now for the good and the bad. Let's start with the bad: As we all know, fit and finish is not Tesla's strength, so, some of the trim really does not line up perfect...

I set driving mode to SPORT on my way home and turned on the fan and the air came out of the vents cold (outside temp). Conclusion is that the HVAC is heating the battery for PLAID mode and the octovalve sends some of that heat to the cabin if the fan is on.

This morning was a fairly chilly morning in Central Florida (45 degrees this morning). When I left home to commute to work, I had HVAC completely off but the windshield started fogging up and I turned on the fan (fan only, HVAC was set to cool with A/C being off and temp set ot 72 degrees) and...

I was a long time Vette owner and frequent Corvette related forums. I no longer have a Vette and I'm on my 3rd EV and 2nd Tesla (Model X Plaid) and many peope on those forums, especially the boomer generation try to find reasons to hate on EVs and Teslas by repeating false information over and...

I rather use the shims and ride on low.

sure, but the car lowers to low over 55 mph.

They can't really align the camber as it's fixed. The only way to change the camber is shims/washers or aftermarket adjustable camber arms. The toe arms are adjustable but not the camber.

I know that this post is over a year old but I can answer that as I just switched to NEXEN Roadian GTX tires on my 2022 Model X Plaid. I don't find them to be more noisy.. They are quiet enough for my needs. Handling seems fine as well. As far as efficiency goes, they do consume over 5% more...

I used to have a 68 Vette Convertible Drag Car.. Ran low 9's with it. It was a lot of work and $$$ to keep it running. Spent over $100k on the car during the time I was racing it.

I frequently drag race and it appears that you can't get Drag Radials in the sizes that come with the Model X Plaid. I was thinking in getting a set of wheels and install 275/40R20 in front and 295/40R20 Nitto Drag Radials in the rear. Those would have a slightly smaller diameter. Based on...

I had over $100k into a '68 Vette Drag car. It was capable of high 8's with the full 250 shot of nitrous but I never ran more than a 100 shot and ran low 9's with the 100 shot of nitrous. I realized that power is not what's expensive.. Strength is expensive.. Most money went into a stronger...

I have to check if they make them in the tire size needed for the Model X Plaid

I have to check if I can get the Nittos in Mode X Plaid size.. Would be worth a try. I did get 1.57 to 1.62 60' times on the stock Contis.. Not bad for a 5400 lbs SUV..

Installed Forza Horizon 5 on Steam in my 2022 MX Plaid. When I launched it, it would not work. Figured out that I had to use compatibility mode. Once I did that, game ran perfectly. That game has amazing graphics.

I came from a Model Y Long Range which is less than half of the price of the Plaid. I bought the Model X Plaid for the acceleration. No other reason.. The Model Y was great for everything else but I wanted a 9 second 1/4 mile SUV.

Posted a separate thread as well. Here is my recent 2800 mile road trip report. Didn't see that there was a thread.

True, but that's a stunning car. Not daily driver material like the Plaid. I wouldn't mind owning a Cuda like that. Nice looking and fast vehicle. Gotta love Restomods.

We went from Lakeland/FL to McAllen/Mission in Texas and back for Thanksgiving. Below is the report on our trip.

when I raced, I was at 25k miles.. I just did a road trip and I'm close to 28k miles now. Car has not slowed down at all. I have been to the track 8 times since new.
