I looked hard on my 2017 model X and couldn't find a refill valve. It appears that ours may not have it and the service guide suggests retrofitting one. See below from the online service manual which shows putting the valve near the right front air spring.

I've also got a 2017 model X with sagging on the front driver side air spring. If you end up replacing your air spring yourself, I'd be curious how that goes. I may need to do that on my car as well. Our car was in the service last month for a heater replacement and they suggested replacing...

I'm trying to find a used rear brake caliper for my 2017 Model X which has the rear Mando single piston brake calipers. Got a frozen bleeder valve that I am struggling to remove and would like to have a spare caliper on hand in case I or the brake shop muck it up and I need to replace the...

Got a question for Model S owners, especially anyone with a late 2017-pre-refresh non-performance model. I've got a 2017 Model X which has the rear Mando single piston brake calipers and based on the parts catalog appears to be identical to the ones in the model S for the same year. Looking on...

Anyone know what the size of the brake bleeder valve screw is for the rear Mando brakes? Tesla part number 1097422-00-A. I have it on order through the service center but they may not get it by this weekend. I was looking to replace pads and bleed the brakes but one of the rear bleeder valves...

We went from Verde AS II plus to the new AS3 (20" tires/ MX 75D). Had to replace the rear AS II plus first last year and just replaced the fronts with the AS3's today. So looking at my notes, the rear Verde AS II lasted about 18k (replaced after tread was down to 3/32 tread). The front Verde...

We had verde all season plus II's installed on our model X 75D. We have 17k on the the rears and will need to get them replaced soon as they are just now showing the tread wear indicators on the insides. Looks like the rear wheel camber is really off. If the tires were wearing evenly, maybe...

Thanks. Grew up there but haven't been back in over 2 decades:oops:... We're driving in from the Conn side. I was hoping not having to drive up to Warwick to the supercharger before heading to Newport (got a long day of driving from Western PA...), but in the scheme of things, it's not that...

Hi, I see that the Middletown, RI Supercharger isn't scheduled until next year. Currently looking at doing an August trip to Newport. RI and onwards to Cape Cod. I grew up in Portsmouth so will be a nice nostalgic trip back to the Newport area. I've been looking at plugshare to see what...

Old post but wanted to thank the OP for the photos and instructions. Just removed ours to see if we can use the space between the two seats for our dog and still be able to use all of the rear cargo space with the 3rd row seats down. The panels on the center console do take a little muscle to...

nayr14, Big thanks for your post. I just finished installing the 1 1/4" hitch (model #11581) earlier today. Sadly the newer model still has the fit issues. I was really struggling to get the bumper back on. I finally took a break and reread all the posts and remembered your advise...

Thanks, that's reassuring to know. That and all the advice in these threads are really helpful. I've got a 2018, so fingers crossed there are no hiccups.

Hi Z28diddy, I just ordered the same Curt 1 1/4" hitch (the newer one) and plan on installing it myself. Can I confirm if you had the panel gap issues that the others are having or if the newer model fixed that? thanks

Currently $5k difference between LR RWD and AWD

Actually it would be $5k or at least that is how the LR models are priced - LR RWD $49k and LR AWD $54k, right? Anyways, so assuming one might still get the full $7,500 tax credit on the LR AWD (yr end) and that the SR AWD would only get the $3,750 tax credit, i guess one way of looking at it...
