Cool. I’ll be interested to see how that turns out! We use the phone chargers a lot, so I am looking at other places to mount. Currently thinking either down in the console, or up on the dash far to the left (driver) side. Had not thought about the speaker—I’d like to have one on the head...

I like that Kenwood. Does the control head have a speaker? Or do you need to add one? I wonder if the control head could be up on top of the dash…?

I’m thinking about putting a mobile Amateur Radio rig in my 2022 Model X, and would love to see what others have done. I want to have a super-clean install, so would love to see photos of your setups!

Anyone know of a Yeti or Hydroflask model that DOES fit in the 2022 Model X cupholders? None of my current ones do, and I'd buy some new ones that fit well...

I received the Guardsman UK dog barrier a while ago and finally had time to install it today. It is excellent. It’s a perfect fit in my 2022 Model X. Easy install—should be easy to remove and re-install too. And it is rock solid. No rattling or vibrating at all. I’m very pleased with it so far.

Good news. I emailed withe the company in the UK and they worked out a price to ship one to me in the USA. I will report back here when I receive it and get it installed. I hope it works!

It's fixed. I had a conversation with another person at the Internet Service Provider--and he gave me the impression he was on some sort of forum with other people who run ISPs. He thought it was a very aggressive timeout by the car—if it could not connect to the Tesla VPN very quickly it would...

Update on this. I now have 2 Tesla Model Ys and a brand new 2020 Model X that all exhibit this same behavior. They connect no problem at one home and not at the other. (I traded in the 2016 Model X that was able to connect at both homes). So it seems this is a behavior in newer vehicles.

Thank you. I am looking for something like that exactly. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that they ship to my country (I am in the US). I will email them to see if I can get one here. Thanks for the link.

Took delivery recently of a 2022 Model X (traded in my 2016 X 90D). I'm looking for a pet barrier to keep the dogs from hopping over from the cargo area into the second seats. I bought the Weathertech Pet Barrier, but even on it's shortest setting, the supports are too tall for the X. Anyone...

At Home 2, the nearest eero beacon is in the garage and about 10 feet away from the car. If I sit in the car with my phone or laptop, I get maximum WiFi signal strength. This is actually closer than the setup at Home 1.

Also tried taking the networks down to 2.4 GHz only. No difference.

OK, here is the scenario: Two homes. Identical eero Wifi networks. Model X will connect to Wifi at both homes and download software updates, etc. Two different Model Y cars will connect at Home 1 no problem, but not Home 2 (error message: "Could not join <WIFINAME> The Internet is unreachable...

When I login to My Tesla, I only have options to purchase the Extended Service Agreements. There are no Maintenance Plan options. Anyone have any idea why?

My wife is very sun sensitive, and we take frequent road trips. I'd love to get some sort of sunshade for the passenger side window. Something like the ones Tesla makes for the other windows would be ideal. I've done some searching online, but haven't found anything great. Any suggestions?
