I bought the replacement part from Rick ( email: 1766inbj at gmail dot com ). His 3D printed part has four supports for the handle pin. And each support is clearly stronger than the factory two supports. Rick was great. He responded quickly with answers to my questions, confirmed payment and...

That would be great news. I just have to be prepared to deal with goo drooling out for, what I would guess, is over a very long time. "Hey honey, grab another roll of paper towels. The Tesla is drooling again!"

Today I have just noticed goo seeping out of my touch screen onto my center console. Reading other threads it appears the best solution is to upgrade to MCU2 which replaces both screens at higher resolution and other benefits. Thank you for the link to the NHTSA request to Tesla for a recall...

Mongo, Thanks for your insights. I was afraid of that when you mentioned the "bubbles." This has got to be an expensive repair. I think I will just ignore it for the time being. Any thoughts on what to look for when I shouldn't ignore it anymore? All the best, Carl

The top of the center screen has what seems like fluid lines. See photo. Is this what you mean by "bubbles?"

I have an early 2016 Model X (manufactured March 2016). I had the shutter described here. Over the first two years of ownership the SC replaced the front half shafts 3 times. Whatever they did the third time resolved the issue. I've since driven 50,000+ miles without any shutter at all.

I have an early 2016 Model X (manufactured March 2016). Today I noticed a stream of material seeping down the passenger side of the center console. At first I thought it a spilled soft drink. I attempted to wipe it up with a damp Kleenex. But the Kleenex just stuck to it (the white stuff in the...

I have a 2016 Model X delivered in March 2016, serial number 01702, 43,500 miles. My MCU1 has been giving me issues for about a year. Typically one or both screens going black at random times. Long reboots. But in general all functions work. A few weeks ago a warning came up on the driver screen...

I have a 2016 MX 90D with VIN under 2000. The questions I would ask are: - Do you have service records? - Do the service records show replacement of the front axle and jack shafts (the issue was shaking upon strong acceleration) - This vehicle included free life time super charging. A very nice...

I had a shudder and they replaced the half shafts. They said some shudder was normal, and after the replacement it was indeed notably reduced. But a year later I have an even more prominent shudder than originally. I get it even with very moderate acceleration now. I will complain at my two year...

I've had my MX for a year now (as of today!) and had the same issue one time after my grandkids were in the center row seats. Like VBXATL above, I pulled the strap out as far as possible, folded the strap to lay flat, then let the strap return. I then pulled it out fully once again to see if all...

I took delivery in March 23, 2016, and the sunshade arrived Oct 13, 2016. It arrived with no advance notice and included no instructions. Although it is pretty obvious how to install it. I put it up and decided it would be good for a super sunny climate, but for where I live in Northern...

I submitted my request to PG&E on Jan 26, 2017, and got the $500 check today. Yahoo. Thanks to this forum I am now $500 richer.

tsw4life, I strongly encourage you to do a test run installing these chains in advance. It is an easy process once you've done it. But it could be confusing on a dark snowy night as your first attempt. Carl

tsw4life, Attached is a link to a DropBox folder that contains the Model X Chain Installation Instructions I created using information from both Tesla and the Chain manufacturer. Please note these instructions do NOT contain any of the warnings or safety information. Please read the...
