After 6 months of back and forth about my 2017 MX yellow screen MCU, I finally got the same BS response from a UTAH-based Tesla Rep. I won’t post it here since this isn’t about a single individual. I have both the MX and a M3 Dual Motor LR version so I’m juggling two Tesla payments. I had...

Sounds like the answer will be probably “no” but did you by any chance opted for a New Car Replacement policy thru your insurance or financing bank (assuming you financed)? Not every insurance company has it, which is why I had declined Tesla’s default financing and arranged it instead thru my...

My GF’s Model 3 was having the same issue, at the same time my 2017 MX wakes up in 2-3 seconds or faster. I had recommended her to drop off the car at the SC to check it out. They kept it for two days and performed several component software updates--my guess since the main SW version...

My guess is that he had simply failed to plug in the charger correctly so the charger had never really completed the connection (orange flashing light). Not knowing the difference, he had left it on without ejecting and reinserting it correctly. I've done this many times in my X; the clicking...

Not every issue requires an SC visit. If your SC uses the Mobile Repair trucks, they will come to your place of work or home when it's convenient for you. Then there are those recalls that can be fixed with an OTA software update; that's something no other manufacturer offers. This is the very...

Several rattles in the headliner area--following repairs to the FW doors--been through several rounds of repair attempts. The SC has been incredibly helpful and tried their best to deal with them. Some worked, some didn't. Have been waiting for nearly a month now for a replacement headliner to...

Assuming you've already filed for your Federal Tax credit for your original MX: I'm no tax expert, but from the IRS standpoint, if you do replace the MX with another one, it may be simpler to do nothing. I doubt they would ask about the first car but even if they do, it's just going to be...

McLean, VA SC has only a few Tesla loaners, practically impossible to get them. They said, allocation will improve but no specific timeframe is provided. In the past, they allowed customers to schedule later service appointments with guaranteed Tesla loaner reservation, but even that was...

My FW doors were serviced 3 weeks after delivery for the very same issue. It was a 2-hour repair session on each side, so, no a WD40 lube job would not have fixed it. Unfortunately, this repair had resulted in 2 more unsuccessful SC appointments to silence resulting squeaks and rattles...

Based on the latest EAP updates--which for me got progressively worse, instead of getting better--if I could, I'd get a refund on both options. TACC works reasonably well on highways but I don't see them reigning in EAP for at least another year or even two. Not sure how much dependency they...

there is no constant power in the rearview mirror housing, so there is no way for the DVR to activate if the car is hit while parked, for example. another annoyance with this product is that you cannot turn off or even dial down the verbal status updates, especially as the DVR randomly takes...

I got this update just yesterday after leaving the SC--eagerly anticipated due to the agonizingly slow stop-and-go traffic follow-thru experienced in earlier builds--and drove to work this morning in my normal DC Metro area commute route. Unfortunately, the problem has still not been addressed...

It's a good thing Autonomous Driving is not yet enabled, otherwise I would have suggested to check whether the X had gone shopping while you were sleeping...:D

I would say drive only on freshly paved, smooth roads. Coming from a BMW X5 w./adaptive suspension, the TMX is tuned too firm for my taste on less than ideally maintained road surfaces for comfort. It's not a dealbreaker--and more compliant than a TMS w./Air suspension--but if you commute...

No issues with mine, connects really quickly. Updated iOS yesterday to the Public Beta version. Hadn't had any issues affecting with the Tesla app since Beta 2.
