    Model X keep on switching to 100% on its own

    I believe It’s a bug. Don’t set it to 50. Try 55 or anything but 50. It’s been a bug for at least 6 months for me and friends with Teslas. I’ve not seen anyone online talk about it though until your post here. I’ve not had it happen from 80 or 90. Only when I set it to 50.

    MX owners: PLEASE TURN OFF YOUR REAR FOGS!

    FWIW, once I turned mine off, they never came back on themselves. I think they were just on at delivery and I had no idea it was a thing. It’s S and X. I believe they are on there because all S/X globally come from Fremont. I believe the there is an indicator on the top left of the driver...

    MX owners: PLEASE TURN OFF YOUR REAR FOGS!

    My S defaulted to on and I had no idea until my wife said I was blinding her when she would be driving behind me on occasions. I took it in to service thinking it was a defect. I felt dumb when they told me it was rear fog. I came from a model 3 and that’s not a thing. My guess is they have no...

    Steering wheel blocking some parts of two screens in 2021+ Model S

    Yes! I can’t see my exterior light indicators, like if my brights are on. It’s very frustrating and Tesla won’t offer a yoke retrofit yet. Though service mentioned off the record that they believe they will be offering it in 2024 and aren’t now due to changing to a better material.

    Reservation Numbers are RANDOM and have no relevance

    I’ve owned 4. RN112744… Invited and configured on 12/20. Waiting for VIN. KY Hope that helps your theory.

    Available 1st Custom Tesla Fridge for Sub-trunk

    It’s a bummer they doubled the price. Mine was 300 and I’d get another if it still was.

    Reservation Numbers are RANDOM and have no relevance

    The 2 trims have the same 123 kWh battery. I would expect the beast first too, so not sure why the lower margin AWD would be first.

    Why does Tesla sell used cars with Full Self Driving?

    It means it has the hardware installed for FSD to be enabled. Not that FSD software has been installed. You can buy it on that car. That’s all it means.

    Aftermarket wheel covers for Model S?

    I found this on Hansshow. Anyone try these yet? I like the turbine style ones from Rimetrix. I wish they would made S/X covers. I guess it's just too low volume to justify. https://www.hautopart.com/products/tesla-model-3-y-wheel-covers

    Is Tesla installing Powerwalls

    You are right that it used to be exclusive to solar bundled. But that changed earlier this year back to being able to order PW without solar.

    New to Me 2022 MSM Plaid & First Tesla

    This should be a different thread, and I'm not trying to be antagonistic. I just want to understand what has led you to believe what experts who analyze this stuff, the entire Internet, and Tesla all seem to negate. Other than the base RWD trim of the M3 (LFP packs), the battery cells and packs...

    New to Me 2022 MSM Plaid & First Tesla

    I see your point. It’s misguided though. Being a most-American made doesn’t mean every part is manufactured here. But it does mean more parts are American than cars further down the list. So if your goal is to have as few foreign parts as possible, Teslas are your only top 4 choices in 2023. The...

    The S3XY lineup has the top 4 spot in the most American made cars. What do you mean about too many parts from China?

    Screw for a Homelink

    Oh dang, I clicked the title expecting a completely different question. I’m afraid I have no answers. Can you provide a picture? Maybe the community can identify it visually.
