My 2017 Model X in Hong Kong just had the same issues at 60300km. Tesla replaced the “Intermediate Shaft - Steering Column - Lower” under the Extended Warranty, which resolved the issue.

I brought a Model 3 with similar damage to Kamwai Tyre Service Limited in Chai Wan last week, but with damage across the fender, door and bumper. Reshaping+repainting cost HK$12700 for all three parts, took four days. I'd estimate HK$5000-7000 for a single door? Google Maps

Reminder for any HK drivers willing to contribute to fleet learning and improve Autopilot in HK by sharing road and video data from their AP cameras with Tesla: Tick the boxes under "Settings" -> "Safety and Security" -> "Data Sharing"

Lol... interesting. I (apparently wrongly) assumed you'd always have to be right next to the port you'd want to open. For example a passive, low frequency RFID tag or NFC smart tag in the port and a reader in the charge cable handle would have sufficiently limited range (5-20cm) to only...

I was about to supercharge my Model X, brought the Tesla charge cable close to the port and pushed the button. Not only my charge port, but also the port on a (unoccupied, presumably locked) neighbouring Model S opened up. Did the other owner forget his key in the car? But even then, isn't...

With Energy Saving Mode turned ON and "Always Connected" unticked my X 90D is losing 13-15km/day. Just remembered signing up for teslalog.com - the constant API calls to the car might be causing the large drain. Disabled it now, hope it reduces drain to normal levels.

I can confirm this works for me as well. I placed it the top right corner of the windshield, over the drivers seat. Perfect location, doesn't impair visibility at all and not a hassle to install.

Hehe whoops, now I see what you were getting at. I admit I was slightly puzzled there :)

If you trust Tesla's Speedometer, then the measurements in the above chart are quite accurate, as the timings were measured frame by frame in Premiere. Main Problem is determining the kickdown point at the start, although there's usually a spike in the audio track when the foot slams the...

Because those numbers only mark a single point on this chart:

I've scoured YouTube but couldn't find a single video of the Model X 75D or X 90D accelerating from 0-60 mph / 0-100 kmh, only clips of ludicrous X P90Ds. I'm putting together an Excel chart with acceleration curves for the various models based on acceleration videos. Can someone with a X75D or...

Sorry, I just realised that in my haste I made a few mistakes in terms of ranking/sort order, but the actual dimensions remain correct.

Full width of various cars with mirrors extended: (blue color: moved up a rank compared to the previous list) 1870 mm = Toyota Alphard 2112 mm = Volvo XC90 (2003) 2130 mm = Mercedes S-Class 2169 mm = BMW 7-Series 2170 mm = BMW X6 2187 mm = Tesla Model S 2141 mm = Mercedes GLE 2140 mm = Volvo...

Width of various cars with mirrors folded: 1850 mm = Toyota Alphard 1897 mm = Volvo XC90 (2003) 1899 mm = Mercedes S-Class 1902 mm = BMW 7-Series 1964 mm = Tesla Model S 1969 mm = BMW X6 2003 mm = Mercedes GLE 2009 mm = Volvo XC90 2062 mm = Hummer H2 2070 mm = Tesla Model X 2073 mm = Land...

Finally an article that clears up the situation :)
