    The shudder problem: Current status (end of February 2020)

    My 2016 MX has had 2 replacements under warranty and 1 more when suspension was slightly damaged in an accident. All 3 were with the newer 1/2 shafts. In all 3 the shudder went away for a while and returned after 4 to 5,000 miles. Low suspension setting has always worked as solution. I now...

    Plugging in every day

    I plug in every trday if the sun shines. It is cheaper to use my excess solar to charge than sell it to the electric company(GUS does not refund Power Cost penalties on buybacks). My X60D is 4&1/2 years old with 50k miles and still shows 190 miles. I do not understand why you would buy a...

    I have a 2018 P75D, is there ever going to be retrofit option available for a long range battery?

    I had a friend offer me a 95kwh battery for my 60kwh when he upgraded his to 100kwh. Tesla service said my suspension is not capable of properly handling the weight of the heavier battery and refused to do the swap.

    Model X: Average Wh/mile Tracker

    I have an original X60D in the free white paint. Just crossed 50,000 miles at 49 months. Bye, bye warranty. You can imagine that I sometimes get range anxiety on trips. Used to! Not any more... switched to % mode on my displays and have never looked back. This way I always know how much juice...

    Blog Tesla’s Full Self-Driving Software Deployed to ‘Careful Drivers’

    I am betting this software will only be available in States where Tesla has worked in a Law permitting vehicles initiating their own commands.

    Seniors wishing the glovebox had a physical button to open

    Hey Seniors, This is not a problem. Buy a Model X. It is MUCH easier to get in and out, has a nice button for the glove box, a super roomy console and all kinds of setup options. Plus it is the safest vehicle you can find. Love my 2016 X60D, won't trade it till the Cybertruck comes out. Oh and...

    Thinking of selling....Oh My

    I want to sell my 2016 Model X60D because it doesn't have enough cameras nor MCU power to upgrade to new software features. Still paying over $800 per month. Such is life!! I am holding out to trade it in on a Cybertruck.

    Tesla ignoring older cars!

    I see trying to get new features with only the original 2016 cameras about the same as trying to shuffle playing cards wit NO THUMBS. Don't know what people expect but I like my Model X60D just the way it is.

    Model X 60D holdouts?

    Stillageek, How would I know if I have AP1 or AP2 and my build date? I bought my X60D with Autopilot in September of 2016 (before 9/13) and have NOT upgraded to 75 kwh. My updates are current but I have not seen NoA active or offered, to my Knowledge.

    Latest Update (Feb 2019)--Something has changed (for the worse)

    Autosteer and Autopilot all levels are still BETA Software. They are open invitations for Tesla to try and improve the product in mid-flight. Ideally, this would not be done with software so closely linked to the safety of the Model X driving situation. I am an avid but careful user of...
