I recently purchased a set of 4 TPMS sensors from TireRack. They are 433MHz sensors which sold for $57 each. TireRack even sells black sleeves for them for a couple bucks in case they're going on a set of Black Rims. They worked perfectly and automatically calibrated following installation at...

For me, we started with our sales advisor from the Tesla store that we made the order with. Delivery specialist won't hurt but they seemed to be the most useless in my situation. Calls to the general Tesla customer service line were always informative if nothing else. Anytime I emailed, I would...

I'm hopeful and optimistic that Tesla will do everything to make this right. I've written about this before, but we were promised a delivery before the end of 2017. End of 2017 came and apparently car was never actually placed into production. Our trade-in was accepted at $1k over residual. We...

I believe hearing something about this being rolled out in September. If you check out their site (Body Shop Support) it has more information. Here are the sites currently doing major and minor damage taken from the Tesla webpage. Tesla Body Repair Centers are available for collision repair...

If you don't want all the details, then yes, they were absolutely amazing. Something like 2 months ago the X was in a low speed front-impact collision. There was damage to the hood, front bumper, and I believe only 1 sensor. There was previous damage to the passenger side mirror as well from my...

Britax B-Agile DOES fit. You simply pop off the rear wheels and everything stores in the trunk. We've been doing it since the way we purchased the vehicle. Literally takes seconds to pop on and off. I believe LikeTesla has a video on all the strollers that fit as well. The frunk is actually the...

I honestly don't believe it's a design issue. I was in the storm 3 times yesterday with once after the vehicle was outside for about 5 hours and snow covered. The wipers worked normally all day for me. Perhaps you blades are defective or the was ice stuck in the wrong part? Regarding the AWD...

Most importantly, you mentioned 3rd row access. I remember showing my wife the XC90 and while there was decent space in the back of the XC, the access to it's 3rd row paled in comparison to the FWD and the way the Model X seats slid forward and tilted. Also remember that larger car seats...

Doesn't sound right to be honest. We were offered home delivery with keys in hand being able to drive that day. A Tesla employee was supposed to arrive at the time of home delivery to go over the vehicle with us here. Tesla actually told us they preferred home delivery because we'd get our car...

They asked for the last 6 of the VIN and the location where the repairs had been approved/parts ordered from.

Here, both summers and winters come with 265 fronts and 275 rears in the 20" staggered configuration. If you're going to keep your current rims and just replace the tires, it's probably a good idea to keep the same dimensions simply for aesthetics. Safety wise, I do not believe it's an issue to...

It's definitely faster than before. Our repair center ordered front end parts, hood, and a side mirror that all came in less than 2 weeks. Body Shop Support gave me all the tracking information to verify. Unfortunately, that repair shop no longer has a Tesla certified technician! SMH. Trying to...

Unfortunately this isn't unusual. We were promised a home delivery with a date set before the end of 2017. Date came and went without any calls from Tesla. I reached out and they made everything right. However, I had to speak with my sales rep for everything to happen. The delivery team was...

I would look a little deeper into what's actually causing the delay. We took our vehicle in to Service King (SK) in Gaithersburg over a month ago. The insurance agent was there along with the SK advisor. Parts were approved to be ordered on the spot by the insurance agent. SK wanted to keep the...

I think you'll love it. We've been fortunate to own a number of German vehicles including performance models. By far, our X is the best we've ever had. It's truly an experience. Just be positive and enjoy all that it has to offer.
