    Navi directions mute when on a phone call via BT

    Any way to keep the directions on active (vs mute) when on the phone with someone via Bluetooth? It seems set as the default but seeing if there was a way to permanently override it.

    One piece windshield tint.

    Why do you guys get this done? Curious and interested!

    Any ideas to keep the 2nd seat cup holders from popping out from little feet?

    My kids keep accidentally kicking the cup holders back there and I am afraid they will break it one of these days. Does anyone have a good hack or something that can be bought online? We use electrical tape but it looks a little shabby.

    Nail in tire... SC said it will take $50 to patch it?

    I had to get a patch for a nail from a local tire shop (didn't know that service center handled this kind of thing). They did a good job and rebalanced the tire but did NOT replace the foam. Now the car shakes a little at high speeds (above 70). Any advice on what I could do now?

    Got a nail in my tire and found foam inside when I went to get it patched...

    No pothole or anything like that. They removed the tire, patched it and balanced it. The shaking has improved since I went back to get it balanced but it still is a little noticeable - more than what it was like before the nail. Tires seem fine overall - just wanted to make sure I didn't need a...

    Got a nail in my tire and found foam inside when I went to get it patched...

    And now my car is shuddering/shaking when I go above 60 and previously it was fine. The tire shop is pretty reputable and called Continental Tires who said foam was in the BACK TIRES ONLY for sound insulation. Now shop is recommending that I get that wheel balanced (which I will) but has anyone...

    FINALLY: Midnight silver MX with full Xpel Stealth Wrap!!!

    "Done at last! I promise not to hijack this post with any more photos after this." Please hijack away! Looks awesome! My X is plain old black - can I put this Midnight Silver on mine as well or do I gotta go with grey? I have had it about a year and planning to keep it a good long time...

    Least expensive way to get 100k mile warranty - CPO or Private Party?

    So no go on the CPO. But instead of finding needle in the haystack of someone who has a low mileage car AND the extended service agreement... Why couldn't I just buy a private party car of my choice "within the eligible purchase period" and then as the owner of the car, buy the ESA on my own...

    Least expensive way to get 100k mile warranty - CPO or Private Party?

    I am in the market for a 90D or a 100D - still early in the buying process so willing to wait a few months. I drive a lot for my job (25k miles per year) and was going to get the Mercedes E63S next year as a CPO as the warranty comes with unlimited miles. However the more I drive my wife's X...

    FINALLY!!! Maintenance Plans and Extended Service Agreement

    The way I am looking at this is the same way I look at most insurance. You can choose not to buy and save money and feel better during the day. Or you can buy it and spend the money and sleep better at night. I am buying both (especially since we got ours with unlimited supercharging) and plan...

    Creaking sound coming from front of car when accelerating on 'standard' suspension

    When I punch the accelerator, there is a creaking sound that comes from the front end around 30-40 mph. It doesn't happen when the car is on 'low' suspension. The Tesla guy is coming to check it out on Friday and said this is a known issue and there doesn't appear to be a fix for it. Is anyone...

    I'd rather have my 'ModelXMas' show than...

    Next time (or this last time) they should have programmed a certain number of times like 3 maybe that you could do the show. People wouldn't go bonkers and break their stuff by doing it too much and you could really plan your show for maximum amusement. Had a whole audience of Porsche dealership...

    Ventilated Seats option is quietly removed from the "Premium Package"

    Even though the ventilated seats aren't great, it's still pretty awesome having them. It's 78 degrees and humid in nola today and they were on and helped keep things cool!

    Model X Insurance

    I'm with Geico and have a 60D - $290/month. My 2015 Macan Turbo is $168/month. Comp and Collision are both with $500 deductible, will do some quotes and report back with what I find out, I think I am paying too much. I live in New Orleans...

    60D and 200 miles range does not seem possible

    I know there is no reason to do charge to 100% and that is harmful to the battery. I was doing it as an experiment to see if the car indeed showed 249 miles of range consistently when 'full' and it did. Some people are saying that you can set the 60D to 100% and it will be fine as the battery is...
