    Shudder

    2022 Refreshed ModelX still have the same camber rear tire wear issues. Which means Tesla didn’t solve the shudder problem from wearing out the front half shafts and CVs (newer part numbers) since Low is still the default suspension setting. https://www.reddit.com/r/ModelX/s/6BGIocWA0e

    New headlights retrofit

    I am interested in doing this retrofit, but is the best way to test it out is hook up the matrix headlights to the vehicle wiring harness (hardware is plug n play) and see if they work after paying this company? I saw the Tesla service manual to install headlamps on MYLR, and it’s a lot of...

    Prediction: Model X price will be reduced to $78K in January 2024

    Tesla has played these price games before. Model Y LR increased in price early this year before it went down again to its current level. It’s interesting Tesla only increased the MXP but not the MXLR. Maybe Cybertruck ramp up needs some of the parts (motors, performance brakes) of the MXP...

    Shudder

    Manual - Model X Air Suspension Medium - The Medium setting ensures optimum comfort and handling under all loading conditions. The suspension automatically lowers to Low when driving speed exceeds 55 mph (89 km/h). However if you select the following, Tesla doesn’t say what level height is...

    Shudder

    From my research on this forum, Reddit model x owners, and YouTube reviews: Model X is based on the Model S platform which originally was RWD. Elon Musk admitted this was a mistake, and X should’ve been designed on its own platform. Model 3 and Y have their own platforms. When Tesla added...

    Prediction: Model X price will be reduced to $78K in January 2024

    I hereby dare Tesla to drop prices further, then I could justify ordering a MXP and dropping my super early EX90 preorder. I also think in 2024 Tesla drops prices more on X/S to entice Rivian, Volvo, Polestar, higher budget cross shoppers.

    Model S&X Price Adjustments

    For anyone who ordered a Model X this year after seeing Tesla drop the price on Model Y -$16K in January, they had fair warning and reasonable notice that Tesla is willing to price bomb the competition. The economic climate (see interest rates, etc) is worse now than earlier this year...

    Prediction: Model X price will be reduced to $78K in January 2024

    As a 2022 MYLR owner (priced $56,990), I felt the same about never buying a Tesla again after the January’s price bomb. But if the MX LR price drops again before Q2 2024, I might rethink that. I got a very early reservation number for a Volvo EX90 (during their announcement event Nov 2022)...

    Prediction: Model X price will be reduced to $78K in January 2024

    Wow, spot on prediction! Sorry to new MX owners who paid a lot more the last 2 years. Remember Tesla throwing end of year discounts/incentives to Model Y builds EOY2022, they were hyping the tax credit change, then come January 2023, bamm! $16K price drop. anyone think there’s a chance repeat...

    Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

    So are new MX builds all getting the Matrix headlights? Also, when HW4 cameras have been on MX for awhile?

    See? I KNEW body castings and structural battery packs were a bad idea!

    Need a spreadsheet for Austin build MY owners checking their front castings for cracks. This guy’s FB video shows his flashlight shining through the cracks (not just paint crack).

    Hansshow HUD/Carplay/Android Auto solution

    Whoa that new 10.25” is huge. It would block more airflow from the a/c vents and the Tesla steering wheel would obstruct the view of display’s corners. Hansshow implies that you need to install their yoke steering wheel to be able to see the whole screen. I have been using the 9” which has...

    Rivian vs Model Y

    R1T is almost 8,000lbs. R1S also heavy. I thought about placing reservation but it doesn’t lock in any price which is subject to change (likely increase substantially by the time they notify you for delivery in 1+ year)

    New headlights retrofit

    Tesla is taking away parts from vehicle builds (e.g. ultrasonic sensors) faster than we can retrofit them.
