I've been doing the same. I've been contemplating other 3 row EVs and also the Gas/hybrid counterparts. There is no perfect car and you will always find a story with someone who had a lemon or a major issue with a car. I'll probably end up with an X in the end as well.

Maybe someone hit you? That dent is super obvious. I'm sure you would have spotted it if you walked around the car during pickup/delivery.

https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/model-x-second-row-bench-stuck-half-folded.288765/page-3 There is a fix here, but I wouldn't recommend it since you're still under warranty.

I'm curious about this as well and was just thinking about this, this morning. Looking at purchasing a Model X and love having auto frunk. I have hannshow on my Model 3 and EV Offer on my Model Y. EV Offer was more expensive but a lot quieter and smoother in operation. They seem a lot closer in...

Pretty decent if it's a west coast car. If it's east coast or an area with snow, should be $75k or less.

Definitely worthwhile to detail the fix for the community. I have things I posted 10+ years ago on Toyota and Lexus forums and I occasionally get random messages from people asking me questions lol. If someone doesn't find a need for your post at the moment, there will be in the future. I...

Yeah, it sucks. The advantage is supposed to be no dealerships to deal with, but their service centers seem to behave like them. I once had to drive 100 miles out to get my transmission replaced with Hyundai because the nearest dealership wouldn't warranty it.

Try a different service center. I've read people have bad experience at certain service centers vs. others.

I'm surprised there are no coilovers kit or standard shocks/springs to convert these cars to static suspension. It's the fix I see everyone do with bmw, Mercedes, etc when it eventually fails.

I'm in the Bay area and have only seen 2 R1S and 3-4 R1Ts. I checked out an R1S and it's really nice. The staff said if you order now, you'll get it mid 2024. Idk how accurate that is though.

This is definitely true for end of quarter. I got my Model 3 before lots of people at the end of Q3 2018 because I live in Fremont.

Why not replace the Palisade with the X? I think Palisades have been recalled for fire risks. I feel like this recall is same type of issue they did almost 10 years ago for their other cars (probably fuel line leak).

I use Autornd/ZEVcentric in Fremont. I also heard The Driveway does good work. I think they're in San Jose.

Hah, I feel this. I have a 3 and Y that have no issues. My 3 is 5 years old and Y is 2 years. I'm debating if I should sell my Y and get an X, but I'm still hesitant to do so.

A quick way to check brake drag is put your hand near the wheels after a drive, it would feel hot/warmer than the others.
