It turns out that they seem to have ended their support of direct installs in the area (Boston area, or at least my area of it). Because my project was in progress they simply cancelled it. When I resubmitted a request for a solar roof estimate, the site mentioned that they only serve our area...

I think there are different things causing different squeaks and noises, but I was able to get mine fixed at the service center last week. Here are the notes from the service visit, in case it helps someone (emphasis mine). "Repair Notes: Road test with customer confirmed rattle type noise...

It was only in process about a week or week and a half after the first visit. It was supposed to go to the designer to figure out where things should go. I may re-apply and try to get more info.

I'm not sure if it's related to the layoffs or such, but after having an onsite inspection go well, around a week or so later I received a generic cancellation email with no additional information. I reached out by text to the number that had contacted me in the past, but no response. Has...

I'd ask them to consider replace the steering rack as well. I believe that's different from the steering column. Though, our error came in the middle of a drive, not when backing up, so possibly a different issue. Another poster somewhere (maybe a different thread) mentioned the wheel speed...

Sorry to hear about your issue. This happened to us recently with our '23 MX. There are threads in at least a few of the specific model forums with similar stories. Ours seems to have been fixed after Tesla replaced the steering rack (covered by warranty). Here's one of the MX threads...

Please let us know if it happens to you again. That would be kind of crazy if it was just bluetooth causing a problem. Ours has been good for the past two weeks after the steering rack replacement. Knocking on wood..

Thanks for the informative review, Tdreamer. Those are really neat graphs. It's cool to see the house usage spike at certain times.. especially when fed straight from the panels. Love the eclipse one!

Our roof needs replacing and I've started looking into Tesla Solar Roof. Doesn't seem to be a lot in this forum so hope folks don't mind me replying to this older thread. @Tdreamer - Nice looking roof, and house! Now that your system has been live for almost 3 years, what's your verdict on...

We got the cream and like it. No regrets. I think it makes the interior seem bigger. All black seems too cave-like to me... kind of a downer vibe. But to each his own, it probably mostly reflects the interior color of the first car we were driven in as a kid more than anything. I wouldn't want...

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I'm considering a Tesla solar roof in the Boston suburbs (roof is 26 years old, needs replacing), and just wondering what the resolution was, and whether you've been happy overall with your system?

Got the car back tonight after we pushed for a preventative fix and they acquiesced. Supposedly there was nothing in the logs that indicated a defective part. Tesla initially were going to give us the car back without any changes. We discussed the history of steering rack swapouts that we've...

Thanks. They couldn't reproduce it at the SC today. The tech took it home for the night to see if it would happen again at night or in the morning. Not sure how normal that is (driving the customer car home), but I didn't really want to be the guinea pig to have it fail on me while I was the...

One more joining the club.. late 2023 MX. Same experience, except unfortunately my wife was driving at the time and I was not nearby. It was towed to the SC not too far away and the family got a free Uber ride home. No service on the weekend so it will have to wait until Monday (if we're lucky).

This thread is for the general discussion of the marketplace listing Tesla Model S, 64k miles, 272 mi range, FSD, Rear jump seats, Tow hitch, Roof rack. Please add to the discussion here.

FSD transfers to the next owner, unless the current owner just transferred it to a new Tesla, or unless it was just a month-to-month subscription. It stays with the car otherwise (unlike free supercharging, which only stays if it's SC01). I'd also add carsandbids.com to the list. I'd...

I, too, have a rattle in that seat when the seat is all the way back, and upright. But not when it's down and not much when it's all the way forward. From the videos, it sort of sounds like the adjustment handle that releases the seat to slide forward or back. Mine is very loose when the seat...

I've been noticing this as well, ever since I bought my refresh. I thought it was the falcon wing door, but today I figured out it's that seat handle. It's very loose when the seat is up and backed up (most legroom). It seems ok and not as loose when it's pushed forward (least legroom). And no...

Yeah, it's so easy to agonize over decisions, and lose out on actually having something. I think that you'd probably be happy with just about any winter tire, though just to be safe a little research is good. I ended up with Nokian Hakkapalitta R5, and not the EV one, just the 'normal' R5's...

I had the same question and ended up going with 20's. I bought older 20" rims and put new tires and TPMS on them. I only saved $700 or so over the new ones from Tesla, but I actually like some of the older rims better, and got to be picky about which tire to choose (I went with Nokians, which...

Thanks!

FWIW, we have a new-to-us MX, and while we will probably opt for a shade, the sun hasn't been a huge issue for us. Though, I don't commute with it, but if I commuted into the sun daily I might have a different opinion.

Has anyone tried running 265 width tires on the rear rims, as a first step towards running a square / 265-all-around winter setup? I was thinking of taking an older set of 20" wheels that need new tires, but putting 265/45/20 tires all around, and eventually replacing the 10" (or 9.5") rear...

@F20C1, did you ever find and install 19" wheels? (Or anyone else manage to do so?) I found someone on FB Marketplace selling some and they couldn't fit them on their Plaid but thought they would fit on a non-plaid MX refresh.

Also, if you have a 2016 model (or, separately, are approaching 100k miles), you only have a few more days until 2017 when they will stop offering insurance on your car. At least for the batteries+motor but maybe general insurance as well. Same will be true next December for the 2017 cars...

I went with the OEM Tesla hanging bike rack (Yakima FullTilt 4), and while we've only used it to host the ski rack on top, one terrific thing that I did not expect is that the refresh MX does not require that it be tilted down in order for the hatch to open. (It is possible for it to collide if...

Thanks, that's helpful. Maybe Tesla has other reasons, as well, to push us towards keeping 20" wheels a minimum. I like the look of the carbon/grey slipstreams (20") anyways, I think I'll go in that direction.

Did anyone ever figure out whether something like the old 19" cyclone MX winter wheels work with the refresh 2022+ MX? I almost bought a set off ebay, but read elsewhere that someone tried a 19" on their 2023 MX fronts and it just barely rubbed the brakes.

Sorry to hear about the corrosion issues. You could try keeping the car parked outside. I'm no corrosion expert but I think I remember hearing that heat/warmth speeds up corrosion. We don't have a garage and park outside by necessity, and I'm probably jinxing myself but haven't had bad...

A lot of people of done this, but you would need to pick something that can be reasonably delivered this year, but has a chance of being delivered next. You could try putting it on vacation hold for 2 weeks if you do get assigned a VIN. Or, if you really want the transfer, just pick something...

I know there's a thread for this system in the Y channel, but thought I'd start one for X since the cars are at least a little different. Exo Anyone care to share their experience with Yakimo EXO? It does seem like it's built more for larger vehicles with higher hitch weight limits. Base...

Wow! Sorry to hear that. I wouldn't think a sunshade could do that. Mind sharing the sunshade that did that?

I had the same qualms. I didn't click through until I was ok with the new car. *But*, it caused an issue because of the $250 credit that gets waived if you transfer. It changes the paperwork, and they have to go back through the insurance company and get re-stamped. The delivery team didn't...

I ended up with a 4222** vin, with it ready for pick-up 11/17 but only got a chance to go in and look at it yesterday. I, too, wondered if it could be a reject or something was wrong. Everything looked and worked perfectly, except: - New car smell. Is this normal in new Tesla's? I know that's...

@dandrum76, did spraying the coil cleaner and running the AC end up helping?

No need to pay until you get close to your date. I'm unclear whether they want the money before allowing for inspection, though. I'm in the same boat as you, 4222** vin, not sure if it was delayed due to issues, or a cancellation.

Congrats! We have a blue on order as well. Would love to see any pictures if you're willing to share. (Seems like the least popular color, perhaps along with black)

I called, and you can call them direct to set up a demo drive, just not on the website. Which is a little suspicious.

Do folks think that Tesla will lower prices tomorrow (Cybertruck launch day), or in early December? Looks like inventory is still somewhat high, with 22" wheels and 6 seaters being the slowest to sell, and the $79k tax version going quickly (obviously). I also noticed yesterday that I can't...

Did anyone else see the following curious numbers on the Tesla financing breakdown (in the app, in the financing details... and obviously for those going with Tesla financing, at least for now)?: Model X $70,000.00 Model X All-Wheel Drive: $9,990.00 ...< my other options >... $x,xxx.00...

What kind of things were you guys repairing besides brake pads, 12v, etc? I've (luckily?) had only minimal repairs to my 2016.5 MS, including some of the same things, but each bill was closer to $150-300 than $1,000 or more. Were you replacing entire seats or the whole AC system or such?

Pics? I'm considering changing my order to it but haven't been able to see in person. Btw, does anyone know if Tesla lets folks extend their pickup past the 6 day window? I can't get a hold of my original Sales guy and still haven't been able to try out a 7-seater in person. Supposed to pick...

If you're not filing claims much or can afford the occasional deductible on a claim, I would suggest maximizing the deductible. I think mine is $2000 or something rather high, but I'm insuring against large losses, and don't mind chipping in a little if it happens. We're planning on selling...

I have a 7-seater on order as well and had a similar experience; ordered around the same day in November and also got assigned a vin within a couple of weeks. My vin was a 421 so I think may have been a cancel or reject, but they did just seem to come out with more 7-seaters in the past week, so...

I am considering it as well, mainly to get a bigger vehicle than the S (an X), but also for the range, faster charging, and all the other upgrades. However, my biggest concern is that I'll regret buying this year when one of the biggest missing pieces of functionality is coming to other EV's...

Someone mentioned that they use their phone as a mobile hotspot and just have the car use its wifi. I haven't tried that but sounds like a better deal than the $9/month, if it works.

Look for dealer cars on autotrader and cargurus that had only one or two owners, and that didn't go to auction. Sometimes you need to click through to the actual dealer site to get the free car history report. You can get a remote inspection and get it shipped. A lot of dealers have no idea...
