battery degradation is minimum. it is stronger function of weather you charge to 100%, 90% or 80%. That said, if you can, use the level 2 charger. The 240V has higher charging efficiency than 120V, not just speed. 240V charging is above 85% efficient. 120V is lower than 80%.

Found the service manual: Tesla Model X 2015-2024 Service Manual.

Hi: I found a tire warning sign on the panel. When I look into the tire pressure display, the numbers are all gone. I tried to reset the car by pressing and holding both scroll wheels and brake. The 17" display on the right did reboot. But it did not clear the warning sign nor return the...

Just to add one more data point. I booked an appointment at SC for the left front area noise. I thought it was sway bar links. But the SC diagnosed as the left air spring module and half shaft and quoted for such replacement. When I went to pick up the car a day later and asked the lead...

finally, the SC replaced the half shaft and left air spring module. When I went to pick up the car. the lead mechanics explained to me that original quote is in error, The half shaft replacement is under bulletin SB-21-39-001 for $350. My 2016 MX is more than 85K miles and out of warranty by...

To update the noise issue. Tesla service took a look and determined it is left air suspension module and both half shaft. The replacement cost is about $3600 ! Anyone having similar parts replacement ? Eddie

Thanks for the link. that looks easy enough. I will look into these 2 directions: upper arm control and sway bar links.

if I have 2 jacks and lift both front wheels off the ground. Does that release the tension on the end-link ? so I can replace the sway bar link ?

I tried to book a time slot from the Tesla Apps. It is a 3 weeks wait :-( Will check with a third party mechanics.

Lorax: I looked up and found this video starting at 27 seconds, there are noise similar to my video. I could not find a video on sway bar of model X. if I want to confirm it, where should I point my camera and mic at ? Eddie

Rush: Thanks for the pointer. I looked up this video Is that what you are talking about ? Eddie

I found a dash cam video that also captured the noise and road condition, which is considered reasonable in this area. The fact that it only happens sometime leads me to think it is not an issue with moving parts. could it be something is loose ? Eddie

In the last 2 months, my model X developed this strange noise that I bugs me. it happens only at low speed. It appears come from the left front wheel region. I tried to record the noise outside with a suction cup, but could not hear anything. Inside the car, I did record the noise with a...

I have a 2016 model X and recently realized that my tow eye is missing. I could not find any used one online nearby and would like to try out the model S version. I wonder if they are compatible. Anyone knows about it ? Thanks Eddie
