    Advice with private sales?

    I've sold two cars privately on Cars.com. Haven't had any problems.

    Squeaky refresh falcon wing door trim panel

    I had this problem and it was really bad. Chicago Elston SC was able to completely fix it with a FWD adjustment. Just FYI

    New purchase option - Steering Wheel

    Ha! I presumed too much! The transition away from a wheel, with a a yoke being a incremental improvement, is inevitable. Also just better from a user experience perspective: - wider so you can rest your arms more easily and have greater leverage, - more comfortable to rest one's hand on the...

    New purchase option - Steering Wheel

    I think choice is good, but it also slows what I think is a necessary transition. I've had the wheel in an X and had the yoke and for me the yoke is better in most cases. I think a lot of people on twitter who say they hate the yoke aren't using it every day, it's really not a hinderance at all.

    Purchase an used 2020 Model X long range plus

    Ha - sorry - FWD = Falcon Wing Doors. BUT since you bring it up: yeah, all Teslas are Front Wheel Drive most of the time in the sense that AWD only kicks in as/when needed.

    Purchase an used 2020 Model X long range plus

    I have owned both cars. The Model Y is more practical but the ride is harsher (perhaps less so with the new suspension). I have 19" wheels on my MYP and it does help, also makes the steering more direct. The LRP Xs are rock solid build wise as are the FWDs and the ride is silky smooth...

    2022 Model X all weather mats

    Welp - now I have 3 mismatched mats, and I think I'm going to live with that. Coming from a 2021 MX LR Raven to a 2022 MX LR - both 6 seaters: - Rear weather tech mat fits perfectly between the pre and post refresh - Front driver Maxpider 3D fits almost perfectly - but gives critical dead...

    Red T and Letters?

    best method is: plasti-dip with paint on top. Is super durable and also easy to remove. Most tint-shop guys can do.

    Calling 6 seat Model X owners with kids (teenagers)

    Yes, that's the one. Have used it for 2.5 years on Tesla seats and it's perfect. No issues at all.

    MX Martian Wheels (Chicago)

    Calling 6 seat Model X owners with kids (teenagers)

    I use the leather cleaner from Ammo: INTERIOR, brush it in, then wipe it off with microfiber. It's amazing. Makes seats and contact points matte - basically, if your contact points (bolsters, armrests, wheel) get shiny then you have body oils and dirt in there breaking down the material...

    Calling 6 seat Model X owners with kids (teenagers)

    I always have at least one kid in the third row. Just let them climb around but have trained them not to kick the screen. I think the seats are very durable, so I'm not worried. I also deep clean my seats 2-3x/year which will extend their life and durability.

    FS: 2021 Model X Long Range Plus

    Didn't mean to be rude. I heard from a lot of first-timers who really didn't know what they're getting into and ended up wasting my time. I think people coming from ICE cars have very different expectations/opinions about what matters in a car. Many also get caught up in FSD hype and have...

    FS: Pre-Fresh (2016-2021) Model X Maxpider 3D Floor Mats

    18-months old. Retail for $150. Front set only. If you know, you know: these are the best you can get. Sorry for the mud on the driver one, I was too lazy to spray them off but they clean up easily. Getting rid of them because I sold my 2021 Model X and the buyer just wanted the carpet...
