You are right there. Not like the documentation or Elon have been very accurate over time. The only point I was trying to make for the OP was that, yes, some Teslas can charge over 48 amps but not so much any more. Didn’t need any Summers Eve toting peiple to jump in and make noise. But it is...

It did.

Again. OP asked if you can charge above 48amps. You can. 2017 MX had an optional charge circuit option which I have. Whether it is “dual” or triple charging boards is pointless. Answer - Yes some Teslas can charge above 48amps. My purchase paperwork list 80amp max charge current. I have kept...

Well. Thinking you know it all and actually knowing it all are two different things. Yes my 2017 has the dual charge, it was an option still in 2017. Yes I can charge at 80 amps but things get pretty warm at 72 so I leave it there. Maybe research some, Google can help. Anyway just letting the OP...

As mentioned some older Teslas like my 2017 X had dual onboard charging circuits. So today I charge at 72A. My wife’s M3 tops out at 48A

The feature needs to be enabled to record. Sort of like taking the lens cap off to take a picture.

Have a 2017 X and it has been way less maintenance and repair cost than any of my other high end cars. Sure something will fail but it has been very rare for me. For instance just this month got the 12v battery message, got it replaced, first time since I bought it in 2017.

I second the Pirelli Scorpions. Twice as quite as the factory Contis, great grip, better wear.

Can agree with posts so far. Nice X with the right upgrades. Go for it.

Couldn’t tell you because I have not tried the Pirelli with the foam but I had the Continentals with the foam and they were way louder.

Without foam.

Had the Contis Extreme contact after Pirelli zeros and the Contis were worse. Tire rack allowed a return and I am back to Pirelli Zero AS. Not sure how you drive but since 2017 with my MX Pirrelli beats Conti anything and don’t even ask about Michelin.

From experience I can assure you the Pirelli Zero A/S will delight. Most notably they are way more quiet than the Contis.

Don’t doubt your experience. Just saying my MX is quiet, especially after changing out of the Conti factory tires, reliable, and has not given me any problems. I even still have the original 12v battery. Every brand, same model, same year, has owners reporting rattles in some and no rattles in...
