    Installing a Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller in a Model X

    Also this controller might work better as the "brain" is installed up under the dash and the manual override and display can be placed in another location. This way you can still hard mount which is a lot safer, and use Velcro or tape for the other components. Hopkins InSIGHT Flex-Mount Trailer...

    Installing a Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller in a Model X

    If you don't want to screw into the interior. Make sure you use very strong double sided tape. You do not want this controller to be dislodged from an impact. I wouldn't suggest Velcro, and in aviation we use high quality velcro a lot. 3M command hooks come with a sticky removable strip that...

    First road trip in your MX

    Ya leaving home fully charged can negatively effect your whole trip. Hitting that first supercharger closer to zero can have a trickle down effect for every other stop. Assuming you route is entirely supercharger supported.

    If it's only 15km/h and you weren't in a school zone or some other low speed area, your insurance shouldn't move. Unless you have a few others under your belt. Now if you lived in BC where the Gov also sells insurance, not to mention the 0.05 alcohol limit. or if they claim you were street...

    Only because Tesla likes to release features after the fact. What if the rear seats are electric, they were having software problems until they realized the seats had a manufacturing defect. After the recall is done, software update allows touchscreen or seat button activation. Might be an...

    Insurance for Model X In Canada

    In a severe accident they might just have to write the Tesla off. With the truck, they might write the driver off too.

    Insurance for Model X In Canada

    Concerning the mentioned quotes only $100-$200 above other older vehicles. People think the premium is based on repairing the car, that's not the case. Cars are cheep to repair, In comparisons to humans. The f150 isn't 5 star rated, and the model S (qoute comparisons) doesn't flip. Basically...

    The automatic spoiler should be an option for 90D

    Actually Porsche had a massive safety recall years ago because apparently spoilers are functional. Porsche dealers where installing only the spoiler for the aero kits and not the air dams. The cars where flying off the highways when wet, because of the down force exerted on the rear. Without...

    Can Bioweapon Defense Mode eliminate "new car smell"?

    Not a poor connection. The tanker truck is filling a large underground tank that was mostly vapor, the vapor was being displaced out the breather vent. Probably around 20,000 volumetric liters.
