    Difficult choice on 2 used model x!

    The Raven has a ton of improvements, especially the adaptive air suspension. I wouldn't even consider the 2018 with that available, and I own one! The only advantage is the warranty, so you'll have to decide how risk adverse you are. Enjoy!

    Supercharger - Henryetta, OK

    Almost no one uses the supercharger in catoosa, at the hard Rock casino. The alternative that's right there is much, much cheaper. I wonder if Musk's decision is really in response to the competition. Of course, they're willing to take a loss now to try to steal business from tesla. If Tesla was...

    What version of Used Model X would you recommend?

    With 2018 model X. We like it. We've only owned a model s, December 2014, and a Kia soul Ev. So, for whatever it's worth. Also, if you have enhanced you can now get the full self-driving for only 2K more. I think that's so good deal. Already ordered it for mine. (Bought it, and set up a service...

    The ultimate demand lever and consumer confidence booster?

    Definitely agree with that! Sadly, it feels like that has only a slightly better chance of happening than my idea. - Elon Musk giving away over $200 million for Tesla stock?! - Spending about the same to fix service? I wonder which would make the news. It's a crazy world we live in!

    The ultimate demand lever and consumer confidence booster?

    Well, tell me what you really think! Clearly you have a pretty negative image towards our egomaniacle leader. (And, I would agree with you on that point.) Still, nobody's entirely bad, nobody's entirely good. At least not that I have personally seen in this world. Little things do make a...

    The ultimate demand lever and consumer confidence booster?

    Obviously not. And I didn't say that Tesla should increase the number of shares, rather that Elon should give away shares that are part of his compensation package. He buys the goodwill, which, in turn, would cause an increase in sales and thus value. This would be beyond the sales caused by...

    The ultimate demand lever and consumer confidence booster?

    If Elon wants to have his compensation package reinstituted, perhaps he should offer this. With each car purchased he gives five shares of Tesla stock to the buyer. Limit it to the first million takers or perhaps until the model 2 is released? Clearly this would result in an increase in...

    Can I expect 200K miles from a100D? (Model X)

    I sold my December 2014 build model s with an 85 KW battery, to my brother. It has just shy of 300,000 miles on it now. Still the original battery. I will tell you that he did name it "the money pit" for a while. Still, overall worth the ownership. My current model x, a 2018 100d, has about...

    Bought a non-running Tesla Model S at auction - Have questions

    There was only one person doing the 100 KW hour upgrades, Jason hughes, and he's out of the business now. You can get a hold of recell in Texas and talk to them. It's probably well worth it to talk to them anyway because you need to know what kind of trade in they would give you on your battery...

    Lift gate not going high enough

    I had it done on mine too, it has to be done by the techs. If I understand correctly, the newer struts have finer linear motors, and the ECU has to be programmed to a higher count. I'm pretty sure that can only be done with the equipment Tesla has.

    2017 X100D - Serious problems

    Yes, if you have Netflix or any video, you have MCU2. Keep us updated. I have a 2018 only a few months removed from yours. I'm watching with interest!

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    To be clear, I didn't actually say that I thought autopilot was trying to follow the shadows. Although I think that's a possibility. I think it's more likely that a tight turn, combined with a shadow, which lessons resolution, could be the issue. It will be fun to follow! (Pun intended!)

    Poll: When will FSD V12 be in wide release?

    I believe it's the shadow. It is amazing that they're still having problems with shadows and auto steer. They even had it with ap1! I've noticed it on my 2018 model X as well. The shadows will throw the thing off all the time!

    One time charge limit setting

    In a teslarati article they say that the new software allows a one-time setting of charge limit. As we've been asking for this for many years, I was excited about it. Has anyone had a chance to try this yet? I'm on version 11.1 (2024.2.7), so maybe not applicable to me yet.
