    Model X front bumper removal?

    I am trying to access the proximity (ultrasonic) sensor on the passenger side that is about a foot from the front license plate (i.e., not the one near the edge of the bumper). Thanks for suggestion, I can ask a Tesla-authorized body shop if they can be accessed on the X via the frunk.

    Model X front bumper removal?

    Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? I am interested in this as well for the same reason--my front bumper was bumped and one of the sensors seems to have been disconnected. There are good guides for removing Model S front bumpers, but I couldn't find anything for Model X...

    Supercharger - Brooklyn, NY - N. 12th Street

    I have charged here several times and was never charged the $20 exotics upcharge. I was charged each time $5 extra (thus $10 total for 1 hour, $14 for up to 3 hours). The price list on the valet window mentioned a $5 SUV charge. If there is a special event, you can avoid the $30 rate by eating...

    How to open Frunk of 2017 mS when battery died, and pull cord broke?

    If your doors are unlocked, you may be able to drip charge the 12V battery through the ODB port. I think the 12V leads go through a 5A fuse, so you'd need to limit current to 12V 5A. It would be slow but should allow you to turn the car on and open the frunk to get access to the jump terminals...

    17.22.46 - Perpendicular parking

    I was on 17.17.4 for several weeks and got 17.22.46 last Saturday. I assumed I had received 17.17.17 but I was surprised to see 17.22.46. Thus you can get it without going to a SC or having a new vehicle (and normally I get updates late, as I only have wifi in my Long Island house). Based on a...

    How to open doors with keyfob

    +1. We should be able to disable auto present, but still open doors by double clicking.

    GPS problem - my car is alledgedly off the coast of West Africa :)

    I have the problem when I am underground as well. The iphone app won't give me a location for the car now that it is parked in an underground garage (or gives me the 0,0 location in Africa). The car shows a location on the nav screen, but it may be off. When I was driving through Holland Tunnel...

    Headrest settings not saving v.17.11.10

    IIRC it comes up as a pop-up (if your seats support it) when you adjust the lumbar support using the buttons in the side of the seat.

    Firmware 8.1 - Autopilot HW2

    Thanks! Do you remember if when first installing 8.1 auto steer was not available above 55mph, without any messages about calibration? I only tried this once while above 55mph (because the grey wheel didn't show, I assumed I wouldn't be able to engage AS) and I just got the "Auto Steer Not...

    Firmware 8.1 - Autopilot HW2

    In my use so far, the only time cars appear in adjacent lanes is when I am in AS and I use auto lane change.

    Fully Paid Lending - Where to report on US Tax Return?

    I think you are correct. I am trying to figure out how to mark that 1099-MISC as Investment Income in Turbotax, so that it will offset it against my investment expenses. Anyone knows?

    Firmware 8.1 - Autopilot HW2

    Is highway AS still restricted to 55mph in certain highways? I have 17.11.3, only been able to use in BQE and LIE, and AS is only available up to 55mph. All other features are working. 55mph is fine for these specific roads, but I am wondering if I am still calibrating in some form...

    Buying Model X through LLC

    Has anyone researched what happens if the first year the MX is mostly used for business use and section 179 depreciation is taken, but in the second year the pattern of use changes to mostly non-business use by a controlling shareholder? Looks like the lease valuation method would need to be...

    17.7.2 Rapid Vampire Drain. Anyone Else?

    My MX 90D spends a lot of time in a Manhattan garage (temperature about 65 degrees but no possibility to plug in). Originally I had more than 2% daily battery drain, but by turning energy savings mode on and "always connected" off and disabling any apps that were accessing the car API I was able...

    Tesla Crash in Indy

    @stopcrazypp is correct... Think about the collision happening in space (or a surface with no friction). Then in the frame of reference where a 90mph car hits a stationary car, the post-crash 2-car wreckage would be moving at 45mph in the direction of the moving car (preservation of momentum)...
