Even with rim protectors, if you go to battle with a curb, the curb is going to win and probably take out your rim protectors and make a lasting impression on your wheels.

Well, I may have spoke to soon. I went out today and probably got in and out of the X at least 5 times and the door NEVER fully opened for me. ALL openings were the couple inch opening with the additional drag on trying to pull it open to get in. Sorry I got your hopes up. I guess it's a crap...

I have a 2023 Model X LR that just downloaded 2024.2.3 and surprise surprise the door opening seems to have been fixed. Now the door opens wide enough for me to step right into the car without touching the door. We shall see if this keeps up out this was just a rare occasion. I'll keep u posted

Back yard mechanic here. I would watch the fronts, one in particular, and if you take it to the service center for anything else then also mention this for the record. Rears look good. Turn off REGEN for a day or two and drive it like you stole it to exercise the brakes and pads then take...

Question ref Air Suspension on the X. Do you think "exercising" the Air Suspension weekly will have a positive effect on longevity? I find with many things today if you don't use it regularly it is more likely to not work when u need it.

" that this update was in the works." 2 weeks - Elon time...

Jay, thank you for your response. I can not come up with a logical explanation for your tire difficulties on a 2020 X. With your luck it may be time to buy a scratch-off or a lotto ticket. How many miles is on the car now? I know this is a pain but can you provide pictures of each of the...

Jay, I see you joined TMC just yesterday. Welcome. As to your problems can you tell us the problem with each flat? Was it road hazard (nail, screw, etc in the tire)? Was it that all the air in the tire went out and when u tried to pump it back up it's didn't hold air? You also said "All 4...

Hey everyone, you can easily make a dust cap out of duct tape! Probably will be better than the one that comes with it.

2023 MX LR, TeslaFi says 329 Wh/Mile pver 7,081 miles driver (8,462 Rated Miles Used - I don't know what the difference is) 20", 7 Seat, MSM when I had to pay for it. Always set on CHILL MODE, Always charged @ Tesla SuperChargers (Free for 3 yrs), I drive it NOT like I stole it although it is...

These solutions are pretty cheap and easy to install. I ordered a RED set and the MACSBOOST set b4 Xmas. I have yet to get into it with everything going on around the holidays. The additional thickness of the RED set sold me along with the longer bolts provided. If you have questions, go back...

Not all qualified electricians are created equal...

Main things to follow: 1. ALL CABLE RUNS ARE DIRECT POINT-TO-POINT. 2 BREAKER TO WALL CONNECTOR. NOTHING IN BETWEEN. 3. NO J BOXES, BUGS, PLUGS, RECEPTACLES, ETC. 4. ALL CONNECTIONS PROPERLY TORQUED TO SPEC. 5 USE Dielectric Grease SPARINGLY. That's it.

@Eric33432 excellent write-up, excellent advice. I to generally recommend MC cable over conduit for Wall Connectors. The one step install over the 2 step with conduit and THHN is the selling point for me.

Dang garage doors always get in the way! Need to bubble wrap that dang garage door!
