    How bad is the damage? 2022 Model X LR

    I was similarly hit like you were when our X was at 600 miles. Ugh! Your damage looks like mine. In my case the repairs costs around $2,500 at a Tesla-approved body shop, and it came back looking like new. The biggest hassle was the 9-week wait for a new rear bumper, but I was able to keep and...

    Frunk tub removal

    Ratatouille frunk invasion: Unbeknownst to us until Spring, we “hosted” rats in our detached unheated garage this past Winter. After chasing them out from under the slab in April, I noticed our Model X smelled near the frunk, and suspected the rats had been crawling inside to seek out battery...

    Help please! Model X Glove box can't open

    I’ve had this happen at least four times in three years. Usually because something shifted inside the glovebox and is blocking one of the latches. Stick a putty knife between the dash and the glovebox door, and gently wiggle it/apply pressure while hitting the release button. It’ll pop right...

    Charging stuck at "Calculating..." for ~1hr

    The problem may be that your battery heater is broken. I just had mine replaced this past week under warranty. In the late January cold, I was only able to supercharge at a max of 10 kW/hr on a 20% battery, and that was after 1-1/2 hours sitting there. That disappointing experience led me to...

    Total Shutdown of Electronics on Freeway!!

    2018 100D with HW3 MCU2 here. This started happening to me after my HW3 upgrade. It’s definitely freaky the first few times this happens, but AP will not crash if it’s been previously enabled. To resolve, reboot the MCU while driving by holding the two steering wheel scroll wheels until that...

    Tesla Brand All Weather Interior Mats

    We have the Tesla X rubber mats throughout the car, and have been quite happy with them. They take midwestern winter quite well! The front two mats have Velcro, and are very well seated in place.

    Screw in tire

    I had this happen last summer. In my case, I had to replace the tire as the screw was at the tread/sidewall transition, where the rubber thins out. The Service Center opined that the tire could have been patched if the screw was in the tread. Hopefully you may be able to patch it!
