    Falcon wing doors issues on hot days.

    I have it on driver side FWD. Warm and while direct sun hitting it, causes the failure to open fully. I just live with it.

    Battery Coolant Heater replacement

    BTW, I was at the new Dublin Supercharger yesterday, and this girl w/2017 MX had the same error messages as I filling her cluster (ICU). And we we helping the Tesla tow guy push the car back far enough to enable pull onto his bed. She was luckier, 12V was not dead and computer was on, and she...

    Battery Coolant Heater replacement

    Yes, they said do yo have AAA, I said yes, they said you have options, Tesla or AAA and cost will be better w/AAA. It was free but I tipped the guy. I did verify by phone that AAA was bringing the flat bed and knew the Tesla towing routine.

    Battery Coolant Heater replacement

    While supercharging, my car bricked, all black screens, had it towed by AAA a short distance to Dublin Service. 12V would not hold a charge, so the Heroic AAA guy keep it jumping while pulling car onto flat bed. (Tow mode cannot be activated while car is bricked.) Battery coolant heater...

    StowAway Max rear luggage carrier - my experience

    Thks for sharing that work-around, literally. My spare tire supercharging experience one place is attached, from CA to AZ recently. Other pics show how even a full rear spare can fit, but I don't do it that way, or with bike rack serially attached.

    2023.20.7 was just pushed to my M3 but I only have AP not FSD

    I was pushed the 2023.20.7 and not an FSD car. Stats app shows me in the FSD family, but I am not, but agree to share data no problem. My issue is small: The fob summons is broke. The smart summons works, the manual summons by phone works. But fob is what I use daily :rolleyes: Anybody...

    Did any Model X ever have AM radio?

    I had an April 2016 Titainum color MX with radio, then upgraded to current MX. When I upgraded it's MCU1 to MCU2.5, radio it was gone and I use Tune-in. No direct way for AM, I think the frequency band interfered with the car.

    Unable to format USB For Dashcam/Steam

    I avoided all hassles I'd been reading about, and someone suggested PURETESLA stick. It is plug & play.

    Model X: Average Wh/mile Tracker

    I had the opposite happen. I display the trip energy early, while I'm charging and it shows negative % at destination. I like to watch the whole curve move up as super-charging happens. When +20% at destination showed, I left the supercharger but did not refresh the trip, left it going. Then...

    Model S - Defective LEDs on Charger Ring

    My situation got worse. First, I'd been having flaky wand insert at both home & Supercharger while the LED's were broke. After the ranger put in new port assembly (2 pics below), he launched a software update and left. After software & rebooting, I could not charge and no LED's either. Wand...

    Model S - Defective LEDs on Charger Ring

    If only the LED's woulda been fine, but the un-latch that accepts the charging wand is unreliable. I have to fiddle with the button a bunch to finally hear the click before putting in. And the pins look awful and warn. Don't wanna take any chances, going on a trip soon.

    Model S - Defective LEDs on Charger Ring

    My light ring failed after 6yrs, mobile ranger will come, saving me lots of driving and a rental car, but estimate is $666.71 It's the devil amount :rolleyes:

    Both key fobs disabled

    Tech is soo cool. I was going to suggest the wheel size reset, change to different size from service screen, and it will reboot the car more than dual thumb wheel holding,

    Re-calibrate falcon doors

    I don't think this is recalibrate like the ranger would do, but try sitting in back seat, close the FWD, then push & hold the open (mine is a lever you pull). Then close while still in back. Mine will open very slow and more fully, so be outdoors.
