After I broke my scroll wheel I reached out to David, who kindly sent me a couple of 3D printed scroll wheels to test. I replaced my volume scroll wheel this evening. It was a straight forward process, and the 3D printed scroll wheel works perfectly. Thank you David! I'll report back on...

They did. I think it was buffed off. Granted, this was before there were tens of thousands of M3s, back when $100k+ Tesla owners were a smaller bunch that got more attention.

The inverter is for 1200W continuous, so it can take a bit more when something kicks on. Fridge and freezer work together fine, and draw 400W to 600W. To turn on furnace, I first disconnect the fridge & freezer. Once house is warm, I turn off furnace and reconnect freezer & fridge. At all...

So at this point, based on your observations, running an inverter from my MX will keep the 12v battery from cycling up and down, and preserve its life? I had a five-day outage due to the fires, and ran a 1200 watt inverter hooked to my MX battery to power refrigerator, freezer, and furnace. I...

Thanks for the information. Was 600 Watt the minimum load to keep DC-DC running at all time?

Thanks for sharing all this information, lymex2018 In the end, did you figure out the minimum draw you need to keep DC always on and the 12v battery always topped? And does that minimum draw depends on whether energy savings is on or off? Thanks.

Actually, that is not the 2-yr service I just got. I have the prepaid service, and my understanding is that now it's a la carte, meaning you can do the minimum, but some opt for more. My two year service last week included: 1/ wiper replacement, and new wiper valve replacement 2/ A/C...

Just had that done. It's a bigger service, but they can do it in one day if you have no other issues. Took two days for me, but they had extra work to do.

Key part of setting up an AP2 car for Sentry Mode: debadging the 90D cars. With badge removed, would-be thieves will have no way to tell whether it is actually recording or not. It will be an excellent deterrent, especially with all the news about Sentry Mode footage catching thieves and vandals.

When people mention Service Centers, it's best to mention which one, as they are of varying competence. Anyhow, this is classic Tesla, and you get different answers from different places. This said, this obviously is not a rumor, as one of the largest SCs stated they already had a permanent...

An update on the new fix. I tested acceleration at Very High & High suspension settings, and no shudder. Before, even when the car was new, it shuddered at those heights.

Perhaps the motor mount is the key part, as the other parts in my work order look standard. There was no point for my SC (as they told me themselves) to replace these with the previous flawed shaft system. Would be a waste of money and time.

MXs tend to shudder under hard acceleration when suspension is set to high. But as time passes, it starts to shudder even on regular height. It only occurs under hard acceleration (flooring the accelerator). I DOES NOT shudder when braking or slowing down, however. So your issue is likely...

Yes, no shudder in low and standard settings. Haven't tried on higher settings, though. I only go above standard height for steep driveways and in parking garages with concrete stoppers.

I'm wondering if this update is being pulled because it's buggy. I just picked up my MX from the service center, and it was not updated to 12.1. Usually, at service time, they push the latest firmware.
