    Refresh Model X 3% Range Loss First 4,000 miles

    I received my refresh Model X in December of 2022. At 80% charge, the car normally shows 277 miles of range. 4,000 miles later, it's now showing 266 miles. My 2017 Model S went a whole year before before any range loss was experienced. I have only used Superchargers for my one road trip to...

    High Pitch Whine Under Heavy Acceleration - Refreshed Model X

    I took delivery of my 2023 Model X in December. My other car is a 2017 Model S so I'm very familiar with how these cars operate. From day one, I noticed a high pitch whine coming from the front passenger side under moderate to heavy acceleration. It almost sounds like it's coming from the...

    AP2 (HW2) to HW3 (no MCU2 upgrade)

    I also forgot to mention that the MCU2 upgrade includes the replacement of the binnacle display as well as the center console display. They didn't say why it needed to be replaced but I suspect the connectors are different so they can't reuse what's already intalled.

    AP2 (HW2) to HW3 (no MCU2 upgrade)

    I suspected as much but it didn't really impact me too greatly. The only thing that was holding me back from the upgrade to MCU2 was the fact that I would lose AM and FM. In the end, having the extra features and snappier interface outweighed the inconvenience of using Internet radio on my...

    AP2 (HW2) to HW3 (no MCU2 upgrade)

    I don't have to time to read through the entire thread so I apologize in advance if any of my comments have already been discussed. However, I wanted to share my experience in my quest to upgrade from HW2 to HW3. A couple of weeks ago, I called Tesla to inquire about the upgrade. They told...

    Supercharger - San Jose, CA - Cherry Avenue (LIVE 21 Dec 2018, 24 Urban stalls)

    I was visiting family in the area and decided to drop by the site to check it out. It was a pretty impressive sight to see 24 Urban Chargers all lined up in a row. At around 9:30 PM last night, there were only two cars charging. However, despite the parking lot being completely empty and the...

    Electrify America charging station - Livermore CA

    For the Electrify America chargers, why would they have dual handles but have only one stall to provide a charge to? Maybe for redundancy? The combo chargers make sense but if the others are dual CCS then it would seem strange.

    Software Update 2018.42.x

    I received the 2018.42.2 update this morning and went for a test drive. My general feeling is that the car feels unpredictable with Navigate on Autopilot engaged. There will definitely be a period of adjust needed for me to predict the car's behavior in certain traffic situations. Here are...

    Supercharger - Milpitas, CA (LIVE 15 Nov 2018, 16 stalls)

    It's interesting that Tesla and the hotel decided to install the chargers right up against the building as opposed to the back of the parking lot. I've always felt that there's a greater chance for ICE'ing to occur with this type of configuration. The fact that hotel patrons are most likely...

    Supercharger - San Jose, CA - Coleman Ave (LIVE 31 Aug 2018, 12 stalls)

    I didn't mean literally every supercharger site but my point is that many of the more recent builds include Level 2 chargers. Sunnyvale, Los Gatos, San Jose, and Fremont Hub all have Level 2 built next to the Superchargers. I'm guessing that Target must be piggybacking on this effort because...

    Supercharger - San Jose, CA - Coleman Ave (LIVE 31 Aug 2018, 12 stalls)

    I noticed that every Supercharger site is being built with a couple of Level 2 chargers. Who owns these chargers? Tesla? Target? My understanding is that Chargepoint just sells the hardware and managed billing service but part of the revenue goes to the owner that bought it.

    Supercharger - Los Gatos (expanded Jun 2021, 20 Urban stalls)

    I drove by this location on Saturday because I happened to be in the area. Unfortunately, I forgot to look for a transformer as I was looking at the charging units only. It appears that one of the chargers is missing a front cover. Not sure if that was from before as previously discussed or...

    Supercharger - Tejon Ranch, CA (expanded to 24 V2 stalls)

    Thanks for the photos. Unless that is your Range Rover parked in the shaded stall, it looks like ICEing is going to be unavoidable.

    Software Update 2018.20 ad59ff9

    I’ve been dealing with this for a while now. iPhone X paired with Apple Watch and Tesla causes garbled audio. It’s a pain, but now I turn off Bluetooth on my watch while I make calls and it sounds great.

    Firmware Update 2018.12

    Finally received the 2018.12 update today and installed it. Obviously I don't have the maps yet so I will have to wait for it to activate or download. With regards to MCU performance, there seems to be some improvement. Unfortunately, I didn't take any baseline time measurements before the...
