    My disaster of a delivery experience (No quality control)

    It seems like nothing is convincing me more and more to go with a new MB EQS SUV or Rivian than new user experiences on the forums. I'm relatively happy with my 2018 MX and it has been the most reliable vehicle I've ever had. The Tesla service centers, however, have lied to me more time than...

    Tire selection for Model X

    Thanks for the heads up. I looked around for anybody carrying those Hankooks in the Southern California area but unfortunately none were in stock. Ended up getting 4 new Pirelli Scorpion A/S Plus 3s for $1290 after tax and 5% military discount (no roadhazard coverage). Just from the drive home...

    2018 75D Model X with wobble 5-20mph

    RESOLUTION: Just put on a brand new set of Pirelli Scorpion A/S Plus 3 all around and the problem is gone. So it was either the foam separating or one/some of the bands separating. I inpected the stock Continentals and couldn't see or feel anything wrong with them on the exterior - I didn't...

    2018 75D Model X with wobble 5-20mph

    Sorry for not seeing this reply earlier. I have 3/32 evenly on the fronts and 7/32s on the back - I found this weird as most people say the rears wear out faster on pre-Ravens. I rolled the car multiple times and checked all 4 tires all around and don't see any bald spots, belt failures or...

    2 week old Model X Plaid and Left Rear Drive Unit Failed

    At least you got an issue resolved. Last month I hesitantly took my 2018 X to the Buena Park, CA SC after one of the mobile techs said that they could fix several issues I brought up with him when he replaced the 12V battery. The SC failed to fix any of the issues I had and I gave up caring as...

    Tire selection for Model X

    Do you have the tire model for the Hankooks? I have to replace my OEM Contis on my 2018 75D 20" wheels and have to do some shopping for where I can pick up the Hankooks.

    2018 75D Model X with wobble 5-20mph

    I've got a frozen shoulder so crawling under and checking the inside would be difficult for me. I did remember an important event - the service center did let some air out of my tires. I had inflated my tires to 45PSI when cold before going to the SC. The SC let air out and they're running...

    2018 75D Model X with wobble 5-20mph

    The service was just a keyfob replacement as I had one that was not functioning most of the time even after changing the keyfob's battery and cleaning the contacting surfaces. The vibration is felt in the body of the car. I don't feel it on the accelerator and I pretty much never use the...

    2018 75D Model X with wobble 5-20mph

    I'll find a smooth stretch of freeway (difficult proposition in Southern California) and check it out. The front 2 tires are getting close to being replaced so that may be the case.

    2018 75D Model X with wobble 5-20mph

    I have a 2018 75D Model X that seems to have developed a wobble in the last couple weeks - coincidentally after I took it to a service center just before the original warranty expired. When coasting between about 5 to 20mph the car jiggles or wobbles from side to side if somebody was standing on...

    What did you name your model X?

    Enjoy The Silence My fav song which I used to sing to my kids when they were babies. Very fitting for a BEV,

    Model X falcon wing door water intrusion when opening doors in rain

    When I went for service last September (for my 2018 75D) they basically told me there's nothing they could do other than "educate the customer". They want us to scoop the water off the roof - literally what my service guy said. They were unwilling to reseat the seals. I consider it defect in...

    Model X doesn't detect home wi-fi

    Any route you want to use to extend the range (ie increase signal strength) should work. I wired my house for cat6A when it was built so I just put a cheap router in the garage (connected to the main router) and turned off DHCP (letting the main router do DHCP) and it works as an access point...

    Tesla service and how they treat owners, really disappointed

    I gave up hope on having Tesla reply to any of my communication requests. I ended up fixing the squeaks in my Model X on my own. I'll probably also fix the rubber door trim around the Falcon doors on my own as well if the next service visit they tell me water raining down onto my kids is "in...

    Wtf: X drivers and poor SC ettiquette.

    Perhaps you missed the post where one Tesla owner updated their vehicle while driving! Despite Tesla clearly warning not to do it while driving. Most people watch the Simpsons and see Homer's antics as comedy... I see it as a primer for what I'll see that night in my ER. As long as people...
