    Plaid rear tire wear - going after Michelin again - share your experiences?

    There are lots of threads on this subject. Tesla camber arms are non ajustable. Their alignment spec is very wide to ensure that the results falls inside the spec. Go to N2itive---- Eliminate Inner Tire & Premature Half-Shaft Wear On Tesla X/S! ---- and watch their short video. Good...

    Model X wiper replacement options?

    I don't believe that Tesla would design and manufacture wipers unique for their vehicles. They most likely made a selection from wiper blades already available. So it is a matter of searching wiper manufacturers to find one. Trico seems to be the company (there may be more). If you go to their...

    Do you think she’s a goner? I was hit by a truck changing lanes. Estimates not in yet.

    In my experience at a collision shop where we used to buy damaged cars to repair, we typically avoided side hits like yours. Very difficult (not impossible) to pull everything (speciically the posts that the doors attach to) back into position so that the doors and windows line up perfectly...

    Warped rotors

    At the end of the day and notwithstanding all of our brilliant comments, it is Tesla's problem to diagnose and remedy.

    Warped rotors

    I guess we agree to disagree. You can warp rotors simply by driving on the highway in congestion where you are on and off the brakes frequently, then have to come to a complete stop and stay on the brakes without moving. The heat of the pads and rotors are so great that you can distort the...

    Warped rotors

    I agree with the above. Changing the rotors regularly is treating the sympton not the cause. I am going with sticking pistons in the calipers. Are they warped on both sides of the car, I am guessing that the SC replaces both sides even time. Highly unusual for calipers to cause problems on both...

    Rubber seal/flashing between falcon wing doors and roof.

    There may be a business opportunity here, but so far nobody is jumping on it.

    Is battery calibration pointless?!

    I havae a 2017 X 75D. I followed the BMS calibration instructions in this article-- Tesla battery management system (BMS) calibration . I let the car sit overnight unplugged at 10% charge. The next morning I set the charge limit to 100% and started charging. The charging stopped at 93%. Drove...

    Warranty through CBI Finance

    I have had some correspondence with CBI to clarify some things. They cover the cooling systems (already had that repaired), AC and heating, brake components (excluding wear items like pads), switches and control actuators (already had that repaired), steering gear and touch screen and related...

    Rubber seal/flashing between falcon wing doors and roof.

    Been down this road and it ain't cheap. You cannot purchase the seal separate from the glass. I was also told that the deteriorated part in the pictures above is more cosmetic than anything else. It does not prevent water leakage even if new ias it does not seal that tight. Other portions of the...
