After seeing condensation inside one of my 2 month old MX, I contacted service to get it repaired. Their response is that TESLA doesn’t use sealed taillights and the amount of water inside the twilight is considered “normal” How do you escalate service request? All the support options lead you...

22x10 up front will rub/ may not fit no matter what offset you put. I have 22x9.5 28mm offset with 285/35/22 and the have 1/4 in clearance to the control arm and the very lightly rub when reversing under full turns. At all heights

2020 MX, after 3 weeks 4 drives and countless hours of formatting and drives on Mac and PC, I decided to call TESLA for help. After the service adviser told me that they couldn’t plug any external drive into their computers to help me but that mobile service could. After scheduling with them, I...

Use the schedule departure charging, this way the battery heater and the cabin preconditioning happen while the car is plugged into the wall. The distance rating is based on 300Wh/mile. If you’re stating you had 100 miles for 85% you would be consuming 3X power (900 kW/mile). This feature will...

Also most local fire codes require a local (right next to the charger) disconnect for services in excess of 60 amps. And the breaker doesn’t count.

HF2 total cost with tires was $4.8K

Scorpion Zero all season plus. Wheels are 22x9.5 28 mm offset and the tires are all 285x35x22.

With 285/35/22 all around

I replaced the 20” with Vossen aftermarket 22”. I also changed the tires with Pirelli low rolling resistance all season tires. I have not seen any increase in consumption. I just finished 500 mile trip with speeds averaging 84 mph and I had average 378 Wh/mi.

I didn’t weigh them. But I can carry the 22” easier than the stock 20’s. The stock wheels are so heavy. I didn’t see any difference in range. Average consumption for both is around 339 kWh/mi on my commute. 22” tires are low rolling resistance though

It depends if Tesla can sell cars in your state. In TX we actually purchase the cars in NV. So Tesla requires full payment before shipping the car

The problem is not the tires but the stock wheels. The rear rims are too wide to fit in the front without rubbing.

It’s not a second regen brake. It’s your parking brake; I think it’s also used for holding the vehicle if your foot is not on the brake. The regen brake is just the motors working as generators. It may be that the larger motor doesn’t use the regular brakes for this.

I confirmed it at a showroom. It’s just the carbon fiber interior.
