I'm going to sit tight with our current X. All the new stuff is cool, and I'd consider trading in if Tesla would allow us to transfer our FSD from one vehicle to another, but that is not going to happen. I'm envious of those who will get all the new features, but it has been my experience that...

The Santa "Vehicle" is a toybox feature that can be toggled on or off. Our roads are currently snowpacked, so I haven't been able to test display changes for full self driving. The blue wheel indicator and speed limit sign have been moved, and the fonts are smaller. I'm guessing they are...

I thought I'd post an image so that other's can see what has changed as far as font size.

Good news. I installed firmware 2020.48.12.1 yesterday afternoon and my car charged normally coming out of sleep this morning. I'll need a couple more days of testing to make sure the problem is solved, but I'm hopeful. At least I didn't have to open a door this morning in order to get the...

Any chance you could text your service tech and get some specific details so I could send them to the tech that said I needed to go to a service center (500 mile round trip). Thanks

Yes, I tested the voltage at the charger plug when the Tesla display was cycling between 0 and 187 volts. The voltage at the the plug was a constant 231 volts. When I pop the trunk hatch, the car will charge as normal at 40 amps, and the voltage settles at around 230 volts. I'm wondering how...

Just checking back in to see if Tesla was able to resolve the issue for you. The Tesla Tech that remotely ran diagnostics on my car said the car checked out fine, so he/she is convinced that it is my charger or electrical source, but I'm certain that is not the case. The reason I'm certain...

I agree with you. The first time I noticed it was when I was in the garage after the car had sat for a couple of days. I could hear a relay clicking on and off. Who knows how long that had been going on, and it can't be good for whatever is clicking on and off. I only discovered the heater...

I am having some unusual charging issues with our 2021 X as well. Mine charges fine if I plug it in and charge right after driving the car. If I delay the charge, or if the cars sits for a day or two and the bms tries to top off the battery, it will go through a process similar to what you...

Interesting. I've been looking at my data, but from the charging information. I charged from 38% to 80% yesterday and Tesla indicated 42.7 kwh added. So 42.7 kwh / 42% = 101.6 kwh. I plan to do this for the next few charging cycles and see how they compare. Any readers out there with a scan...

First of all, don't panic, or over think this, unless of course your daily commute is over 200 miles. I've had 3 winters under my belt with a 2017 100D in Northwest Wyoming. I've said for a long time, its the best winter car I've ever owned, as long as the trips are less than 200 miles. My...

We have had our new 308XXX vin Model X for a week now, replacing a pre Raven 100D after 53,000 miles and 3 years of ownership. Over 240,000 model X's have rolled off the line between our two cars. I love the idea that our "slightly used" Tesla will now go to another family who might not be...

I went out and took a measurement for you. The suspension is at standard height and the seat is set for my preference (5'8"). My measurement is 27.5 inches from the ground to the top of the side bolster. If I raise the seat to it's highest position, the measurement increases to 29 inches...

Yep, 40.4.5 does the trick. I just installed it and my car is charged to 83% / 309 miles. Extrapolating gives 372. Yahoo! Even if it is smoke and mirrors, I'm happy. Release notes below:

I think I can rule out a heat pump. I did a test this morning. 1. Slow charged the car at 9 kw for about an hour to warm up the battery 2. Stopped the charging 3. Turned on the cabin heat then watched the display to see how much current was being fed into the car 4. The garage was around...
