@Marcboy I have never heard of any battery getting replaced due to degradation. The HV battery does get replaced for some, but it is due to other failure mechanisms, not battery degradation. I have always thought the 30% degradation number given by Tesla on newer cars is somewhat a red herring -...

MCU2 will give you alternate routes. I fully think that Tesla should have paid for MCU2 updates for cars that purchased FSD since it seems to be necessary hardware. But it’s not a hill that I am willing to die on and for me, I am really glad that I just got the MCU2 update as soon as it was...

EAP has the all-important (to me) lane change on highways. And I have been in unfamiliar cities when the Navigation on Autopilot changing of highways has been important to me. So EAP is good, but I really don’t care anything about Summons. As I have used FSD Beta for several years now, I have...

Tesla changed the price for FSD last night. It is $8k for those who have basic autopilot and $2k for those with EAP.

You will get the HW3 update and the cameras, if needed. But you will have to pay for the MCU2 update.

Why oh why isn’t this a thing on the model X? The model 3, model Y and model S all have middle arm rests for the back seat.

I prefer the phone as key but the legacy model X key fob works for me in a totally passive mode. I have not touched it in years, it just has to be buried in something I am carrying. It will passively unlock all doors without touching the fob. Here are my settings. I am guessing you may have the...

An end of 2016 would be essentially the same as a beginning 2017. A beginning of 2016 vs an end of 2017 would be pretty different.

V12 is currently only on 2024.3.*. OTA updates can’t go backwards. You have to wait for FSD V12 to get to a 2024.8.* or higher number version.

What makes your 2017 a unicorn?

What did service center say?

@Averdi, that 2017 model X ‘s VIN is within 1000 of mine. I have had it since it was new and it has been a good car. Your question about FSD…. I have FSD beta on my 2017 model X. It has performed essentially the same as FSD on my model 3. It has gotten all the same FSD updates until V12 2...

I think so. I can confirm that I have interchanged lug nut covers for a 2013 model S (19” wheels), a 2017 model X (20” wheels), and a 2018 model 3 (18” wheels).

No it does not. The turn signal does not bring up the side camera view on my 2017 model X (with MCU2.) I believe this feature was never added for any of the vertical screen cars. I have wondered why not. It is indeed at the top of my list for things that this legacy car is missing.

@billionaiire, I don’t know why you are getting such negative responses and very little content in the responses. I have not been shopping for a used Tesla so I do not know what they are going for. But to me, this sounds like a good deal. The long range plus was the last of the vertical screens...
