    Update from Tesla service on screen yellowing

    I finally decided to schedule a service appointment to have this taken care of in my X. Even if they deferred it I’d at least be in the system as having the issue reported. Here’s the reply via SMS:

    Model X Crash on US-101 (Mountain View, CA)

    I do. Every car. I wish insurance companies would give you a small break as an incentive to get people to carry them. I had a friend who bought a beautiful classic beetle. First drive out and it caught fire at a stop sign (previous owner committed the cardinal sin of putting an inline fuel...

    2018.4.5 a1d9b92

    I have been able to do this for quite a while. I don't know if there is a 'max' speed, but I have not hit it driving on the highway and my X changes lanes just fine.

    Model X Front Windshield Wiper Blades Not User Serviceable?

    I had a situation where the passengers wiper flew off (possibly due to accumulated ice on the far right edge of the windshield?). Lucky for me I was not moving at the time. Needless to say I was a bit surprised. The service center got me in the same day and had it fixed in just a few min...

    Warning icon? Too cold?

    When I start driving in the cold, I usually get the yellow and black restriction indicator to show that limited regen is available. Sometimes I also get a little warning triangle (see image). I can get one, or the other, or both - so they seem to be independent. There is no explanation or...

    Quirky differences between front driver and passenger doors

    That's a problem with your passenger door - you should call your service center.

    2017 VIN Model X Order and Delivery

    My new X is currently in production and I don't see a BTX code in the options decoder, though there are a few that the decoder does not seem to understand. APPB Enhanced Autopilot DRLH Left Hand Drive FG02 Exterior Lighting Package COL1-PBSB PI01 Premium Upgrades...

    What happens if you run into a lake or a river?

    It is actually the intake that does not enjoy being submerged - not the exhaust. In fact, most boats with ICE engines exhaust below the water line for sound reduction. The same works (up to a certain limit) with a car. This is why you often see more serious off roaders with a 'snorkel' that...
