    Model X aftermarket hitch receiver options

    So, the vertical limit is essentially raised to the limit of the hitch itself (I believe it's about 750 pounds). Now, that said, that's the limit for the hitch itself. It's also a matter of what the limits are for the metal it's attached to (the frame of the Tesla) - so there's always some...

    Model X aftermarket hitch receiver options

    I ended up going with an aftermarket hitch installed by Rack Attack - removed the original and put in a class 3 hitch with a 2 inch receiver. It's certainly more robust and durable. They had to cut out an opening into the original hitch cover for the end of the new hitch - so it's always...

    Model S windshield cracks almost every winter

    Do you have it such that it automatically goes straight to defrost mode? If so, turn it off. I can't remember if it was an option on the older ones, but I know that with the newer ones I would let it preheat for at least 20 before considering putting it on full defrost. That way the glass has a...

    Etobicoke Showroom and Service Centre - now open

    So, I happened to drive by today, then checked on the Tesla map - the Etobicoke showroom and service centre is now open! I'm looking forward to not having to make a long trek to get things done.

    2022 Model X Instrument Panel failure

    Well, the screen blackouts kept getting worse over the weekend. On Monday running up to the service center the screen would not return despite several reboots. Of course once I arrived, the technician came out and lo and behold, the screen was working. He did acknowledge that it does happen and...

    How would you handle this...

    Sadly, you are right - it's a combination of laziness and selfishness. Unfortunately you probably won't get anywhere with them. Probably the only solution is to petition to have the charger moved to the furthest point away in the parking lot, but odds are that won't happen unless someone is...

    2022 Model X Instrument Panel failure

    Further to this: this has been happening regularly for the past few days. NEVER try to do a simple soft reboot! Doing so left both screens black, the PRND controls on the base wouldn't work to move it. Thankfully, a hard reboot fixed it after a few anxious minutes. Going into service come Monday.

    2022 Model X Instrument Panel failure

    So, for the past few days the instrument panel has been acting finicky in my 2022 Model X - going out, coming back on, sometimes a reboot (soft/hard and even a complete shutdown) helps, but it's very random when and if it comes back on. At one point, with the sunlight in just the right position...

    Round steering wheel

    If offered, would people go for the one from the CyberTruck? I'd need to drive with it to see if there's a difference or not, but my thinking is that you can, somewhat, let the wheel spin in your hands without losing contact. Kind of seems like a better compromise. Now, if they only include the...

    Cold weather and smart air suspension issue

    I've previously had the issue especially if the slush on the ground gets up and around the suspension and then freezes. Once it thaws a bit it goes away - I've taken it to a car wash and if it's a long enough cycle, it immediately went away.

    Big decision....

    Do you have any indicators that makes you feel that either the pack or the drive unit is having trouble? I'd go for a test drive with either the new S or X (or even the revised 3 if it comes in for test drives) before you think that the revisions would be worth it. After over a year, I'm still...

    Supercharging growth lagging compared to sales

    Struja, the good news is that there are nearby alternatives. There's supposed to be an alternate built near to Vaughan Mills this year and one has recently opened up north of Dixie Outlet Centre.

    Supercharging growth lagging compared to sales

    Given we're now into 2024, looking at the SC map, there's only a scant few new chargers planned for this year across Canada. According to the Tesla map, there's 4 spots with a yellow star and a handful of grey "opening in 2024". I'm hoping that there will be more forthcoming or perhaps that some...

    Model X - Active Venting Groan

    Anyone else have experience with a really loud groan coming from the active vents under the vehicle? In the past couple of days, it's gotten far worse. It can either be a short (about 5 seconds) or a long (15 seconds). Only happens when initiating start up (pressing the brake pedal). I'll...

    Tesla refusing to transfer lifetime supercharging after taking delivery.....disappointing.

    If the agent is acting on Tesla's behalf, then the onus is on their side to corroborate the deal prior to the final agreement. If, as it turns out, Tesla refuses to stand behind their agent's decision/error, then Tesla either needs to honour the agreement or at least allow the buyer to back out...
