    Faint beeping while driving 2022 model X

    I would put in another request explaining that it wasn't present in your previous MX or that of 4 friends'. Including the audio recording. Politely point out that the other Xs don't have this normal sound at all. In the recording I only hear a higher pitch whine and no morse code like sound...

    A few Model X Plaid issues that the service center can't take care of

    Perhaps they were able to work out the problems in the later productions. Mine was manufactured in December 21. Or you are lucky! Either way, glad you don’t have to deal with these things.

    A few Model X Plaid issues that the service center can't take care of

    lol We are certainly paying for owning a Tesla in more ways than the money. It’s like living with a genius who refuses to wear pants.

    Advice re possible sale of 2021 Model X Long Range Plus w 21k miles, black/black

    When I sold my old 2011 Camaro after taking delivery of my new Tesla, I looked up Carvana, Ebay, Facebook Marketplace, and Carmax.com. Here is a summary of my experience. Carvana: Gave me an instant offer of ~11k after I took a few minutes of filling out information about the car. Fast and...

    My comments on 2022 Tesla Model X PLAID

    I don't have exact numbers but can confirm that Plaid mode uses slightly more electricity. Usually it feels like about 5% difference. I also noticed that cruising at a higher speed puts a bigger dent in efficiency than I realized before owning a Tesla.

    Why pay for PPF & ceramic coating when you can just repaint?

    Yes. I think I have the same kind of OCD. If something that I use is designed ugly or has a glaring exterior flaw, it bothers me greatly every time I go to use it. In most cases, I eventually end up getting rid of the ugly/flawed possession and replace it with something that I like and am...

    Brand New member with a New 2022 Model X...

    I would say that no one, including Tesla, would be sorry to hear that.

    Hit the Carpool Lane Barrier while in AutoPilot

    Haha. Watching some of the Youtube videos on Whambamtesla channel made me drive much carefully as well. One thing I learned from one of the videos is that if you set the follow distance too short, AP can just crash into the car in front of you. I used to have it set on 3-4. Now I set mine to...

    My comments on 2022 Tesla Model X PLAID

    I've read through the entire manual and the only thing regarding Plaid mode's possible usage of battery is the fact that the car will try to keep the optimum temperature for battery at all times in Plaid mode, which implies that if the battery temp is too cold or hot(I don't know the parameters)...

    My comments on 2022 Tesla Model X PLAID

    Regarding the yoke, you do get used to it. I also initially felt awkward with the yoke but as you get used to it the awkwardness goes away and it feels just as natural as a wheel. Two pointers I can give you about using the yoke is: 1. When you make tight turns, it's easier if you start...

    Holy crap I just noticed the wrap on your Model X in your profile picture and it's the most stunning X I've ever seen! What is it and how did you get it??

    Child Safety Issue with Falcon Wing Doors

    I agree. And while this is completely off topic, I feel like there's something important to be said about hitting a child other than just how bad it is. Establishing true communication with a 4 year-old or even older child can be tremendously time-consuming and difficult, because it requires...

    2022 Model X Plaid Delivered

    Did you order another one when you sold? I'm wondering if Tesla found out about you selling the car because you ordered one soon after delivery.

    My comments on 2022 Tesla Model X PLAID

    I found that the self close works when the "Auto Door" or something with a similar name option is checked on, so the opening and closing of doors automatically is tied together and you can't choose only one side of the function. I had to turn it off eventually because the door was randomly...
