    Has anyone replaced their 12V battery yet?

    Mine went out on my X at 2 yrs / 20k miles. Mobile service came to my house and replaced it the next day under warranty.

    Wall Connector repair?

    No lights on WC, and car did not think it was plugged in. There was power going into the WC. Reset did nothing. No obvious problems inside such as burned components or melted wires. What other observations will help folks tell me what is wrong? Now that i have replaced the unit and charging...

    Wall Connector repair?

    Visual inspection revealed nothing -everything looked normal. Unfortunately, the replacement is a bit different (black body model) so i could not do the side-by-side on the innards that i would like. You are right that the cable alone should be worth something. Thanks for the suggestion about...

    Wall Connector repair?

    It just stopped putting out power. Was yours over 2 years old? If so i should push back i guess.

    Chill mode Efficiency?

    No argument with anything said so far, but on a long trip, unless you are doing a lot of in-town driving, i think the effect will be small. FYI I have been driving in chill mode 95% of the time in all sorts of conditions, and i cannot see much saving of energy, although i like it anyway because...

    Wall Connector repair?

    I have used a wall connector with my MX for 2.5 years- it died a few weeks back. I called the SC and they said they would send a tech out to check it, but could not repair it. I replaced it with a new one. So, now i have a wall connector that seems in great shape, but needs repair. Does...

    Does lowering the suspension affect your ruin your tire faster?

    I no longer do the auto-lowering, because on the "low" setting, the rear wheels tilt out, and this causes wear on the insides of the rear tires. I had to replace my rear tires at 10K miles because of this. But, not lowering the car can reduce your efficiency and and thus, your range. So, you...

    Expert Advice on Charging Behavior Requested

    I have similar experiences with my X P90DL. It is apparently random as to what color will appear when i open the port and plug it in to my wall connector. Sometimes, blue, green, white, blinking green. But if i leave it alone, it is charged up in the morning. Sometimes when it is blinking...

    About dropping your MX back at dealership for tweaks after being delivered

    My car has been back to the shop a number of times, but not for "sample defects". A number of systems have failed and major parts have been replaced. In a couple of cases several trips were needed to find a fix. However, Tesla Service has been diligent to solve my problems.

    Matte or Gloss Black Wheels

    Let me know if you find a place in DFW. In case you did not know about it, Autoscope in Dallas and Plano is a good place for tire replacement on high-end cars,. The did a good job on my MX, and offered to powder coat the wheels for $150 each. I did not pull the trigger but probably will next...

    Mirrors won’t fold after modelXmas show..

    In addition to the passenger side mirror not folding in, there are a few other quirks on my car, but my primary complaint to Tesla was the mirror. The first time, Tesla replaced the mirror and reset some controller. It worked for a few weeks. The second time they did a firmware reset...

    Here is why I'm getting the bare bones 35k T3

    i hope you get yours soon, but with the Model X, the barebones units were delivered later. I had waited 2 yrs for a 5-seat MX, and Tesla told me that it would be another year for delivery. However, if i would upgrade to the 6-seater for $4K, i could get in in a month. I went to the showroom...

    Double vision (ghosting) at night through windshield?

    I have had my X for several months, but i avoid driving it at night. In heavy traffic, the number of images is so great that i have trouble telling where the oncoming cars are. Tesla has been less than helpful. Twice i called the service center and they asked me to bring the car in so they...

    Ordered P90D 5 Seater in March - No Response

    I am one of the "upgraders" who was pretty unhappy at changing to the 6-seater. But, like many others, i changed to a 6-seater and my car immediately went into production. In the meantime i got a look at the 6-seater and i am so glad that i made the change, as the 2-2-2 seems like a much more...
