Seems like a frequent problem. I wonder what the odds are of this "new" one being solid for more than a month. I'm also slightly concerned that after 21 days my battery will be dead and "permanent damage" done to it. Do they actively prevent that from happening?

Thanks for the information. It has crossed my mind. Though I lost a car on trade in during this process so I'd still have to buy another car, which will be hard in the current climate. If I were to get rid of the X after this, I'd probably try to sell it first since my cost was 25K lower than...

Yes, it's Bellevue. They said that's how long it will take to get the parts.

Quick update on my MX LR that was 4 days old before having complete electrical failure.... Tesla ran diagnostics and found problems with the 12v battery (big surprise) and the rear drive unit inverter. They gave no explanation for what could have happened and why both of those components went...

I give up. I have no idea how any of you that are arguing about this don't understand what "manual" or "without power" actually means and I'm done trying to explain it.

What you are saying is not confusing, it's just not relevant to what I was saying. Manually unlocking the charge port is not possible. It requires vehicle power, unless your rear hatch happens to be unlocked and open (if not, it requires power to do so). You keep telling me how to power the...

Here is the misunderstanding. That requires power.

Uh, what? I'm not following this. We ALL KNOW that you can unlock the charger cable if the car has power... you are giving instructions on how to get power to the car. I'm just pointing out that WITHOUT POWER, you can't unlock it. Obviously if you don't have power and you jump it you can...

No, as I said, the frunk is the only thing that is powered by that front bumper connection. Read the manual. It might help. Here is also a "how to" video.

I'm specifically talking about refresh model X's. We don't know everything that changed under the "hood". We have no significant driving history of them yet. My guess is that they will be far more likely to have problems than earlier models. I hope I'm wrong. But with all of the part...

Has anyone been able to do the "light show" on their car yet? Mine starts but turns off after just 3-4 seconds. I am wondering if this is a v11 software bug or another sign of issues with my electrical system.

I think that is extremely unlikely. If a problem as significant as this, total power system failure happens on day 4 with 130 miles on it, odds are that this car will continue to have problem after problem going forward. I think over the next couple of years we will be seeing just how terrible...

Firstly, I specifically said there is no manual option to unlock the charger cable without power. Then you are explaining how to power the car to do it. So, yeah. But what you said isn't true anyway. I assume you haven't actually done this or you would know. The access door on the front...

Thank you. It's frustrating to say the least after the wait they put us through. There is no emergency release for charger, at least not a manual powerless option. The tow truck guy had no idea how to power the 12v battery to get the doors opened and release the charger, so I consulted the...
