Adapter was limited to 142kW but the limit was lifted to 192kW already over a year ago.

Yes but only when it was new. The end result is that both packs are almost equal after 2-3 years of use and age similarly after that.

I have a late 2020 X and tried the new one yesterday. I liked the interior less than the old one in real life. While it looks great in the renderings, it feels very cheap in real life. The screen is also much smaller than it looks in the renderings. The only obvious plus i could see was the...

My car had the same issue and Tesla couldn't solve it, they literally gave up. 4mo ago one parking sensor that had been giving errors failed completely. After replacing that the door has been working fine. Unreal.

75D got '64kWh used' at best when it was brand new on that display. It doesn't count all energy so 60kWh is a normal reading from a used car. It's the same with equally old 100D. It's hard to get it to show readings over '80kWh used' by now. As new the best it was able to do was 88 or so.

X is great, really can't complain about anything beyond Tesla itself as a company. My car was shoddily painted at the factory and had to be repainted here, but now the paint thickness in the left wing door is such that the sensors see ghosts randomly and Tesla does nothing..

Speed is irrelevant (both are plenty fast enough) and the range is a lie from Tesla side - and lowballed estimate from polestar, actual rating hasn't been done yet. Check the insideevs range tests, all 110kWh pack cars out there already beat LRX range hands down. As I said, this can be seen...

It's not that much slower, if at all. Certainly slower than the plaid but 4.8s to 100km/h is fast enough for me (same as my current 10/2020 X). Range should actually be better in real life. It just has less EPA number game. WLTP range is 620km vs 565 in my current long range ++. The plaid X...

The new Xs smaller battery was enough of a reason for me to order a polestar 3 instead. It has 110kWh pack.

They probably gamed the numbers bit too far with the 351/370 initially and relaxed the lies a bit. I doubt it's anything real, they are just massaging the numbers.

Yes, now it can make the charging worse by heating less as the V2 may not need it. The charging certainly should not have improved, the thing that improved was the efficiency while driving towards the charger.

You guys forget now that for the past 2 years Tesla has actually had model years. Not sure if it's a coincidence or not but significant changes have occurred exactly as the year changes (3/Y).

I did the same. I even pointed out to technician that 'squeeze here and the rattle goes away' but no. The car came back with the exact same rattle as it doesn't happen everywhere, all the time.

The problem is that it is pointless to take the car to Tesla because of rattles, they are not going to find them in a hurry. They just don't care enough anymore. These days it's almost all about making money and showing customer the middle finger after the delivery.

Check the monroney sticker. Efficiency went up, range went down, compared to the earlier model. The only logical cause was the smaller pack. The Tesla Daily podcast was the first where I heard about it and at that time the delta was believed to be around 4kWh based on the numbers / pack...
