Anyone considering tracking their Plaid? Wondering about safety prep (roll bar, driver seat) - has Tesla ever shared how they prepped their development cars? Was planning on waiting for Plaid+ but there’s an event I’d like to do next May, probably won’t be out by then.

Have towed an enclosed race car trailer a lot with a Model X 100D. I expect double the usable range in a tri-motor CT because it start off much bigger and dirtier in the airstream, should be less impacted by the trailer's aero hit.

Hi Thomas - I think that q was for me. The trailer is a Montrose: Montrose Trailers - Custom Aluminum Trailers It has a tire rack up front and empty weight is just over 2000lbs. I’d rather not share total weight but it’d be 2k plus the weight of the car and spares and things. It’s 20 feet inside...

The X goes 100-120 miles, hoping the tri motor can do at least 2-2.5x that. Would also like to not have to have an ICE for fast track day toy, where’s my Plaid S at yo

2018 100D. No shudder these days. Used to get it between 40-45mph at full throttle but it doesn’t any more. Guessing a software tweak.

The 6 and 7 seaters get additional AC components to better cool the back half of the vehicle. Though if the vehicle will often be used for heavy towing without much rear area use to counter-balance, a case could be made against the extra weight of the higher seat count configs. 100D vs. P100D...

In my experience towing an enclosed race car trailer, the X is extremely stable even in the worst of crosswinds. It's just so heavy compared to what you can tow with it, and everything is very low. I don't have WD or anti-sway, don't really need it. If the vehicle's anti-sway kicked in, I never...

Appreciate the response ZRitchey. Has anyone here attempted to repair the fuse referenced? I am fairly electrically and mechanically inclined but there's just so little factory repair guidance to go on for basic stuff like this in Tesla land...

No coins got in it, not sure how it died. All USB ports still work, and the 12v plug in the rear hatch area works fine. Tested with multiple known-good devices, no luck. It did work earlier in the year. Where should I look to repair? Are there fuse diagrams somewhere? Was picked up new in...

+1 requesting pics and also specs. Have the upgraded audio but would like a lot more sub power/presence added to the system, ideally with no other mods and a minimum of space sacrificed. Just a sub amp and sub box.

Drive a Model X today but getting a C8 to replace an aging Viper ACR as the track toy. May not keep it long depending on when Plaid S comes out and what it can do. I suspect it’s gonna be Roadster 2024 by the time it’s out.

You can’t really get a time during tourist hours, and you can’t film on manufacturer days (if you even have time booked) except for an extra-cost narrow time window at the end of the day, basically one shot at it. Everybody who’s tried to track a P Tesla overheats it within the first 90...

As with any car tires make a big difference. The X's OE options tend to focus on range and NVH. My X has the regular 20" Continentals and the handling is "okay". The low CG keeps ultimate body roll in check, and the AWD system is quite sophisticated - the X puts power down very well at corner...

Brand new tire out from Michelin, available in MX sizes (at least, the 265 & 275-20's on my car). Am a big fan of Michelin and having had 2 flats and almost 20k miles on the OE Contis, looking forward to trying them out. Anybody tried them yet? If so would be interested to hear driving...
