Oh got it. The car was towed to the service center. They said there are a LOT of error codes and are still diagnosing it. I assume they will figure it out but thought I’d ask here in the mean time. I am pretty chill but it was very scary. So lucky I was able to get up off the highway.

I don’t think there were any error codes. Attached is a photo of what I saw.

Yesterday, I was driving about 65 mph down the highway when my 2023 Model X suddenly started beeping and flashed a warning saying it was going into emergency shut down. I lost all acceleration. Fortunately, I was going downhill and was (barely) able to pull up over the curb and onto the grass...

We just had new brakes installed Tuesday, so we are afraid they screwed up something. It started last night, about five we arrived at my in-laws house, who live in a remote location. Been trying to reach our home service center all morning, no one answers.

We had the brakes replaced on our X earlier this week. We are now hearing a high-pitched squeaking sound, metal on metal, from the front driver's side. It may be that the brake and caliper are rubbing against each other. We are out of town, and it's fairly rural, no idea where the closest...

Does anyone know of a trip planning app that lets you input range yourself? On GoAnywhere, you only can choose by vehicle. We usually don’t charge to 100 percent, and our battery has degraded, so there isn’t an option that accurately reflects our starting mileage. Also, sometimes we are mid...

The iPhone app for my model X shows the front trunk and the driver door are both open. I have repeatedly opened and firmly closed both doors, and when I am in the car and driving, the car itself does not indicate that either door is open. Because of this faulty indication on the app, I am unable...

Hi all, We just put snow tires on our Model X (rims and tires), and I'm trying to figure out how to reset the TPMS. All the instructions I've found online seem to be referring to an older software version, and I couldn't find it on the touchscreen anywhere. Anyone know where this is? Thanks!

Can someone please help me understand the difference among level 2 chargers? I’ve read that the miles per hour can vary greatly. I’ve looked on PlugShare but it doesn’t seem as though it identifies how fast the chargers are. Thank you!

Great, thank you! There is one supercharger along the way, but we'll have our dog and three boys in tow, so we are hoping to limit stops! ;)

Hi all, I'm curious to know what mileage I can expect. On the Tesla site, the EPA range for our model (100D) is 295. When the car is fully charged, it says 264. We have 20" wheels. It doesn't matter much around town, but I'd like to get a better idea of what to expect for road trips, specially...

Thank you for all the feedback! I would definitely err on the side of caution -- we weren't trying to get to the bus but to the kids after they were rescued (by boat, believe it or not)! I rode with my neighbor in his SUV to get them (because I didn't want to take our Prius). I was just trying...

Thank you! Hopefully it won't happen again any time soon, but you never know these days!

Hi all, We are picking up our Model X Friday (hooray!) and I'm wondering about driving it in high water. (Yesterday our kids were stuck in a stalled school bus in a flash flood and when they got rescued, we had to drive through flooded streets to get them, so I started wondering what would...

Are 2.5 and the new computer worth it? We aren’t car aficionados so if the differences are subtle, it may not be worth it to us. However, if safety is significantly improved, that would be compelling.
