    Need advice on 2017 Model X

    Yes, I already made it happen. MCU upgraded last week. Definitely breathed new life into the car. Gonna get a whole car wrap to make it feel new to me as well. I appreciate all the advice and the push in the right direction.

    Need advice on 2017 Model X

    Like @scottf200 said, yes I am completely irrational about warranty related issues. I am self aware of that. And you're right, doing the math, I would still be ahead in cost/value/time. And like @Shaz said, the kids definitely have some sentimental attachment to the car and it's well "lived...

    Need advice on 2017 Model X

    Here's the scenario . . . I own a 2017 model x. I have not upgraded the MCU (yet). It is paid off. My wife primarily drives it and puts maybe 3k miles/yr. We do use it to drive to our beach house frequently and a few road trips every year up to PA to visit in laws, etc. My daily driver is a...

    Recent MYP Delivery Estimates

    Interesting. I was not given the option for delivery and told I'm not in an area that gets delivery. I could only pick up. For the record, I live in NOVA.

    Recent MYP Delivery Estimates

    F378 MYP black, black, no tow, no fsd. Delivery confirmed for next week in Tysons, VA. Confirmed a/s tires with Intel chip. Did not inquire about heated wipers or battery (I'm guessing no to both).

    Recent MYP Delivery Estimates

    This is also true. All season tires will always have a longer tread life compared to performance summer tires. Also, summer tires are absolutely horrendous once the temperature drops below 40. I drive a lot and swap out my summer tires on my model X every year for the winter. Would definitely...

    Recent MYP Delivery Estimates

    Did you get confirmation about tires or heated wipers? I'm also in VA with same dates. Don't really care about Intel vs Ryzen or new li battery, as this is only a 2 yr lease to get me through the wait for my CT. I do, however, want the a/s tires and would like the heated wipers! Seems way more...

    When to tint?

    a few weeks later should be fine. The tint needs about 24hrs to cure and within a week, all bubbles should be gone. If you're appointment is >1 wk out . . . no problem.

    Moving to Alaska with Tesla X

    In the Northeast, our winters are definitely milder compared to Alaska, but I drive 80 miles round trip without issue. I lose about 25% more juice in the cold. Always keep it plugged in at home. Not only does this ensure your juiced up for your next drive, but I regularly use the app to preheat...

    Tesla android app login error

    Ugh, thank you. Just got a new pixel 6 pro and I couldn't sign in. Tried changing my password, deleting and redownload app, turned off VPN....nothing. Turning off wifi was the trick. Not sure why that must be done, but I appreciate you!

    New symbol (circled 15!) And double speed limit

    Interesting. It did happen in a school zone (although, it's a 40mph zone with speed cameras). I pass this school at all hours of the day several times a week since owning the car (2017 MX with HW 2.0 and EAP). I have never seen it until now. However, the 15! makes sense in that context.

    New symbol (circled 15!) And double speed limit

    Just got my car back from service for half shaft replacement and they updated the 8gb eMMC. Noticed 2 things; 1) double speed limit - looks like one speed limit sign superimposed over another. Goes away after 10-20 seconds, but seems to come back over and over again. 2) small white circle with...

    Is Yoke Steering Wheel legal?

    RCW 46.37.375 doesn't specifically state continuous rim (unless I missed it). Also, technically it is continuous, just not round.

    Have ordered - but interior concerns..

    I know this is a joke and you probably knew this already, but since I recently learned this fact . . . figured I would share for others to be educated. Corinthian leather is not an actual type of leather at all, it is a marketing term It was, in fact, branded by Chrysler and actually was...
