While making a three point turn, my front right control arm snapped. Tesla says this is not covered under extended warranty because they claim it is excluded under the "expendable maintenance" terms. I had the manager point to a specific word in the agreement that made it not covered. I asked if...

tl;dr: Set your controller and/or wireless adapter to X mode or X input. That is the hidden trick that gets Tesla to recognize the controllers as if they were Microsoft/XBox kind of controllers. I just upgrade my 2016 Model X 90D to MCU2 as well, and managed to get the 8Bitdo SN30 Pro+...

Yeah, not really "2 factor auth" if I can get an access token without the second factor via their API. Just re-linked my account with EV Car and it didn't need the second factor at all. Not super confidence building that there is a loop hole here.

When my garage door opener died, I replaced it with a wall mounted one (Chamberlain RJO70) as I figured it would be cheaper to get a wall mounted opener than to pay for any damage of the wings bumping into a ceiling mounted one. Now I when I back into the garage I have no worries, as literally...

I've had a Model X for 4 years now, and the few accessories I found useful: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072JJXZX1 Middle row holder of toys. I have two small kids, so this doesn't hamper leg room for them, and it is a dumping ground of toys. Easy to reach back while driving to hand it to...

You can try FRIEND-C3LKBDH for 10% off.

Try to go completely without touching any door for a full day, nor have any passenger touch any door. With automatic doors enabled, you can open the driver side door anytime with double-pressing of the top of the keychain. Do another double press, and it opens the passenger side (only after the...

Those are some nice numbers... I have a 2016 X 90D with ~36k miles that used ~14MWh for an average of 401 Wh/mile during the life of the car. That is with lots of long highway trips while fully loaded up with kids and their stuff. This past three months I averaged 375 WH/mile. Only times I see...

I've been using the X for three years. I have not hit anything with the doors, even when parking near cars, poles, etc. And I get the experience as I live and park in NYC, so poles anywhere on the street, low ceiling height in parking garage everywhere, and people who ignore parking lines in...

I've found the best way to get a human at a service center is to be as friendly as possible to your SC rep, and keep up the relationship with them via email. At the two SC nearest to me, I've gotten a point of contact at both that I can email as needed. For one of them, I even have their...

If the original poster was referring to the front door soft-close latches, I just had my 2016 Model X's door latches both replaced while my vehicle was in for different service. While having a 2016 Model X loaner with updated latches, I mentioned how much nicer they were than my car's, and the...

Happened to be driving at twilight during the early summer. Didn't get a chance to fully wash the car until a week later since we were on a trip, but I did take some windshield cleaner to it in the morning with a towel. There is no evidence of this appearing on the paint at all. You should be...

Looking good, not operational yet.

Or he charges at the Paramus NJ location and is used to some chargers just being poor. I know I've shown up many times in the past to 8 empty stalls and some only go to 50 and others will do 110. Recently it has been much better there, I don't remember getting stuck at a bad charger in a while...

Every loaner Model X I've used has had that with the rear seats, from brand new to ones with 15,000 miles. Thankfully I don't have it, but if I did, I'd expect it to be a common warranty issue since I've already documented it three times with their loaners.
