    2019 Tesla Model X Trunk Panel Removal

    Nope. Unfortunately haven’t had the time to look into it any further. Hopefully someone else can chime in and provide assistance.

    Not sure what I’m looking for but everything seems ok

    2019 Tesla Model X Trunk Panel Removal

    So anyone done this yet? Looking into doing mine tonight but don’t want to break anything.

    Beware of the $100 that is not being credited on final contract

    Just FYI I had the order fee twice on mine. Once when ordering via credit card and once in the finance contract. No-one on the phone could figure it out went in to service center and they said it was a mistake and created as case for me. About 10 days later had $100 credit to my credit card...

    Extension Cord?

    If you’re charging regularly on extension cord go with 10awg. For rare or emergency use I’d be fine with either 10 or 12awg 50’. In fact I’ve got a 50’er 12 Awg in frunk right now.

    Charging over amp limit: 34/32A

    Haven’t seen it on my 3, but likely because you’re slightly under voltage. I believe the UMC rated to provide 7.7kW. Volts X amps= watts. And it’s the watts that matter here. So really nothing to be concerned unless you’ve get heat and voltage drop via undersized wire.

    Waxing Model 3

    Turtle wax Seal N Shine. Slightly less glossy but much more tenacious than everything but a ceramic.

    Coating/Sealant Advice

    Cquartz is high very good. Can use Cquartz UK 3.0 for $80 or Cquartz lite (like I did) for 50. Avail online at several retailers. FYI paint protective film doesn’t stick well to ceramic (found out the hard way)

    Tax Questions (specifically TurboTax)

    This is correct. TurboTax was rejected earlier in the week. Refiled on Friday and was accepted. The number you put in is 7500 then adjust down to 1875(for me purchased in December). Otherwise TurboTax is fantastic

    Got an 85D as a loaner... handles surprisingly well vs. my 3

    I had a ‘16 P90d loaner for a few days. I also thought it handled very well. However the seats were much less comfortable. Also the range dropped like a rock. I’m sure it was faster than my 3 AWD, but in insane (not insane+) mode seemed similar. I did really like the EAP on AP1.

    Dinged!

    Bummer. Drop something on it? Yeah don’t think the paintless dent guys can fix that ( but doesn’t hurt to ask.) There were some paint blemishes on the bumper of my new 3 but wasn’t interested in an aftermarket respray. Seen several resprays that were worse than original.

    Battery Management System - What I Learned At Tesla Service Center

    Thanks, I put mine on % so don’t get concerned with stated range, but occasionally take trips that use 95% of battery (250 miles on LR AWD in winter)

    Battery Management System - What I Learned At Tesla Service Center

    I understand the once in awhile, but am wondering if this affect the actual range (number of miles that can be driven), or the “stated” range. In other words does this process just affect the interpretation or actually range vehicle can be driven?

    Outdoor home charger doable? Cost?

    14-50 outlet can be use for nearly any EV. My Juicebox Pro, (for Pacifica PHEV) uses 14-50 also. Ironically I charge the Tesla on a 6-20 (240v 20amp) because the range on the van is so much less we need to quick charge between trips.

    Buy or pass?

    Unless the deal was stellar, I’d pass too. I’m sure he’d be able to sell to someone else as there are people lined up for 3s. There will always be other deals (perhaps not quite as good), but without some known problems.
