    Creaking/Squeaking control arm ball joint fix

    SC in Bellevue is replacing both of mine today for ~$250+tx. Seems pretty reasonable. That being said, disappointing in the first place that it would start creaking so loudly after <40K miles (sounds like really old springs in a bed), so maybe they are considering that.

    2020.20.5 has improvements to GPS

    I've had frequent navigation issues on my late 2018 MX. Mostly happens in the first 10-15 minutes of driving and only really noticeable when using navigation. Car would be offset from the road I'm on by about 60 feet or so for minutes at a time. This would cause rerouting onto the perpendicular...

    GPS location drifts off road

    I've still been seeing the issue. They hoped that an upgrade to HW3 would help, but it has not. There was a particularly bad case in the past few days (gradually grew to be 1-2 miles off). I made 3 videos and sent them to my contact at Tesla. Most of the time when I see the issue, it drifts off...

    Need someone to check something since update yesterday

    Same problem here. Happened after a .36 update. Still an issue with the .40 update.

    GPS location drifts off road

    I've seen issues where the map does not match the road and it's understandable that this causes problems. The issue in my case, appears different--it happens in a variety of places and on roads that have not changed in 10+ years. Often what I see before this happens is that I have turned left...

    GPS location drifts off road

    My car is currently in service for this. Curious if this is happening to others, and how frequently? For me, multiple times per week, my location would drift far enough off the road I was on that the navigation system thought I was on either a parallel or perpendicular road to the one I was...

    Unusual battery drain parked at airport

    Thanks for the tips--I saw the Smart Summon Standby option added a few updates ago, but assumed that it would be low battery draw since it was defaulting to ON. The screen text could be more clear about it being active all time. I'll try turning it off.

    Unusual battery drain parked at airport

    I parked at the airport for 3.5 days this week. When I got back to my car, it had lost 15% charge (81 -> 66). I was expecting a loss of only 1 or 2% each day. I confirmed that sentry mode was off and nothing else obvious ( like dog mode ) was being used, so it's a mystery to me ( also verified...

    Recommended USB drive for dashcam

    I bought the Samsung Bar Plus 128GB and am seeing missing/corrupted video frequently. I tried copying a large file to the drive from my computer, and although the average write speed is around 25MB/s I often will see "stuttering" and fluctuations in the write speed (sometimes it will drop...

    Frequent "Park Assist disabled", now being blamed on OBDII port

    Did the CL adapter solve your problem? I think I am having the same problem with Metromile in my Model X. "Park Assist Disabled" randomly appears and then goes away. I've unplugged from OBD for the past 3 days and have not seen it. I'm thinking that if I get the CL version, I'd plug it into the...

    Delivery Notes

    Had a more detailed look at the car and found a single issue (see attached). Some material is sticking out of the steering wheel. Emailed the SC so they can fix it. Not clear to me if it's an easy fix or not.

    Delivery Notes

    Thanks! I'll keep that in mind. Had the temperature fairly low (65) most of the time, but rain has been moderate/heavy.

    Delivery Notes

    That could be it, but I think I drove fairly "mellow". I'm used to driving at Prius v, so have been trained to accelerate and brake very gradually, and usually get well above the rated MPG. I'll keep it in mind though, and have the energy graph up there :)

    Delivery Notes

    First-time Tesla buyer. Picked up our Model X 100D yesterday in Bellevue WA. Have some comments about the car itself and the delivery experience. Positives: - Very happy that there appear to be no issues with the car that I need to return to the SC for! Had concerns there would be bad panel...
