Thule Motion XT XXL and Treefrog suction bars. Can’t use rear FWD - and reduce carrying capacity weight-wise.

Ended picking her up and have to say super happy! Delievery 2/23/24

Good point! I haven’t much thought about the charging network. But it’s definitely worthy of a lot of consideration too! First time thinking about Rivian really as I have a very early Cybertruck order (been invited for Foundation series order but declined the surcharge ) I updated my old S...

Went horrible, just like the entire ordering / sales process. Tesla service and sales advisors and the entire sales process is just ridiculously incompetent. Went to pick up my Black Tax X today at noon and ended up waiting close to 5 hours for Tesla Financial to adjust the financing terms to...

Black Tax edition FUSC transfer - inital order date for ultra red inventory X 12/15 - delivery date got pushed out till beginning of January- Tesla cancelled order in sometime in January Reordered 1-20-24 EDD 2-22-24 at noon 😛

Really good traction device review:

Anyone knows if snow socks are acceptable for California DOT if snow chains are required? Looking to get a set of snow chains for my refresh X. I am getting dedicated snow tires but during storms road restrictions requires you to carry snow chains and I looking for the least amount of weight...

Seasucker or TreeFrog suction cup roof racks will work with the X if you are not having to open the doors…that will be my solution for this issue…just load has to be very low - not sure how much weight is safe for the glass…but should be good for some ski and snowboard gear…

We did the Tesla official retrofit on an S - we would get notified by Tesla if that applies to our conversion? Only 159 retrofits sound like lot lower number than I would have expected.

I am in the same boat as you are - loosing the ability to use my roof rack is a major bummer chasing snow…but I am going to make the jump to the X regardless. Planning on going with a suction cup rack to at least have the ability to carry boards and skis on the roof. Definitely won’t be able to...

I was hoping too to be able to find a cheap set of 19” rims to fit dedicated winter tires for my soon to be delivered 2024 X LR - but sounds like only the TSportlines would fit? I have bent too many rims on potholes with my old Model S and am looking to get as much sidewall as possible.

…going thru all these sets has been one big part stupidity and bad luck. When I first got my air suspension S after reading about better efficiency when lowering the car, I set it to go to low setting over 50mph. That coupled with very spirited driving in the beginning, resulted in going thru...

In the past 2 years I went thru the following sets of tires on my S : Michelin Pilot Sport 4 Michelin Pilot Sport 3 Continental DWS 06 Plus Michelin Crossclimate 2 Michelin X-ICE Snow …definitely the from my first to last tire it’s going downwards in both noise and efficiency… Absolutely...
