    Why Does My Model X get so many Flat Tires?

    If the tires are going down for no known reason such as a nail, I suspect someone is letting the air out of your tires. I have been driving for over 50 years and have NEVER had a flat. (knock on wood! ha!). Keep your tires properly inflated. 45psi cold on my model S and probably the same on the...

    Tesla rigged the dashboard readouts in its electric cars to provide “rosy” [range] projections

    I'm not mistaken. The tests clearly show they do not hold a steady 48mph. The graphs clearly show a modulation of speed, not a steady state speed that you would see on a clear highway stretch. We don't have to call it city/highway, but it is clearly not steady state highway. I think the...

    Tesla rigged the dashboard readouts in its electric cars to provide “rosy” [range] projections

    Even in stop and go traffic? These test results look like a commute type drive to me.

    Tesla rigged the dashboard readouts in its electric cars to provide “rosy” [range] projections

    MP3Mike: Thanks for the graphs. Where did you find these? I think you proved my point. It looks like a graph from actual traffic. There are slow-downs and accelerations in those graphs. The spikes are showing braking and acceleration which would be normal in day to day driving over an 8 to 10...

    Tesla rigged the dashboard readouts in its electric cars to provide “rosy” [range] projections

    The 48mph average is based on using some city and highway driving speeds in their test. Not that they drive for the entire duration of the test at 48mph. I believe the trip information screen shows your average speed since a trip was reset. Look at yours, it's probably close to 48mph.

    My 2020 MS… modem handshaking noises? What is this?

    It's the air suspension changing at those geographic locations. The suspension remembers where rough roads are or where you manually raise and save the location.

    Apple Co Founder: "FSD is a frightening, horrible experience".

    I'm surprised so many of you are sticking up for Musk. I agree with Woz. Musk has lied. My car will be in the junk yard well before FSD works like Musk lied to us about.

    After what time has passed would you consider an FSD class action lawsuit?

    Basically Elon bought his Twitter toy with the money he received from sales of FSD.

    Car Wash Mode?

    The vertical screen cars don't get the new cool features the horizontal screen cars get. :confused:

    How to not clear snow from your Tesla!

    My wife was at a stoplight near where some sidewalk repaving was being done. The side of the car got spashed with concrete. She was only a mile from home so drove home, then used Quick Detailer and a rag to wipe off the concrete. Good intensions, but the scratches are deep.

    2022 Model S Plaid interior panel gap

    I had a similar issue with both B pillar trims. After 8 mobile service appointments over 1.5 yrs, it is fixed.

    Customer Service Is Lacking

    I've written several letters to Tesla corp headquarters with NO response what so ever. Tesla does not care about customers. I agree, my Model S is the best car I have owned... but I dread the day something goes out and needs major repair.

    After what time has passed would you consider an FSD class action lawsuit?

    The word I hate worse is the made up word "prolly" instead of spelling out probably. I guess I'm getting old.
