That makes sense. It was a very hot day, and the charger was in direct sunlight. Thinking about it, most of my longer road trips have been in cooler conditions. The taper was worse than I recall, and I've been assuming that was because it was warmer.

For the first time in over 2 years, I took a multi-state, multi-supercharger road trip in my 2017 MX 100D (~50K miles). This is the first time I've supercharged in ~2 years. And wow, there are a lot more superchargers now than there were 2-3 years ago! But I noticed something odd I'd like...

My model X (2017, HW 2.5, see sig) is the most unreliable car I've ever owned. Its visited the service center more in my 4 years of ownership than my 3 previous ICE cars that I purchased new (1 VW, 2 priuses), and that includes routine maintenance on the ICE vehicles. Of the top of my head...

My 2017 MX with 39K miles just developed this, conveniently 1 day after my 4 year warranty expired. The service estimate is ~$1k. Upthread there were a few people that made it seem like there was a bulletin. It would be great to find out if that's true..

I have joe mode on.. I was very happy when they introduced that a ways back. Most of the time the bong works as it always used to, and comes from just the front left area and is quiet. About 1/5 times the bong comes through all speakers and is crushingly loud. There is generally a crackle...

Recently I've noticed that when listening to streaming audio (local NPR, via streaming since I did the MCU2 upgrade) autopilot "bong" are not just quiet & coming from the driver's speaker, but played at full volume from all speaker and take over from the streaming audio. Is this a known bug in...

Turns out it was just a signal strength issue with the remote. Opening the frunk allowed learning to succeed.

I just closed on a townhouse, and I can't get the garage door opener programmed into homelink in my MX100D. I've done this for 2 houses in the past, but I'm just not having any luck here. The basic issue is that I enter the learning mode, hold down the button on the opener pointed at my...

I got 2020.48.35.5 last night, and I was thrilled to see they increased the font size on the IC. I think it may actually be larger than it was previously.

I agree with your original post. I'm fine with how they moved things around, but the fonts for some things (esp the battery percentage & clock) are way too small. The speed is just a hair too small.

I've driven my 2017 MX 100D in the rain before, but I've never seen it behave as badly as it did last week when on a roadtrip. As I pulled out of a SuC, it started to rain (not even very hard), and I was given an alert that "Park Assist" was no longer available (repeatedly, and distractingly)...

Thanks, your post was super helpful. I'm thinking about going from the factory 20"s to aftermarket 22"s on my Model X and don't want to loose range. It sounds like 22" TSS + DWS06 are a good compromise for much better appearance, moderately improved handling, and nearly identical range...

I've got almost 25K on my X 100D, and due to tires that are well broken in, ideal temps, no rear seat passengers, and mystery factors, I've been getting between 320 and 340 kwh/mi at 70-75Mph, which is far better than the rated 384. This is a good problem to have, but there is a downside when...

I have FSD, have the chime, and I find myself wishing that the IDIOTS IN FRONT OF ME had the chime too! Imagine a world people actually started to move when the light turned green instead of staring at their phones, eating their sandwiches, or doing their makeup.

2017 MX 100D, lifetime of 339Kwh/mi For me at least, temperature and tire pressure seems to play a large role. On days when its over 55F, not raining, and my tire pressure is 44 or higher, i generally get better than the rated range. If the temps are much lower, especially if I have to run...
