I've been tracking battery range degradation religiouslyon my two Teslas -- a four-year-old Model X and a two-year-old Model 3, and differences in battery performance versus the fleet average are truly remarkable. My Model X 90D, delivered in June, 2016, started at 264 miles of range, but is...

When I left a Tesla Service center a couple of months ago after a complete tire swap-out for my MX 90D, I noticed an "Air Suspension Needs Service" warning. But after I made a stop on the way home, the warning disappeared. Then I saw it again several times, and it rarely stayed on for more...

A group of graduate students I know from Harvard and MIT are looking for volunteers to participate in a machine learning / data-mining project designed to give new insights about driving, performance, routing, etc. to drivers of Tesla automobiles. They're seeking Tesla drivers who are willing...

I sent this to Tesla for analysis to pull the logs, and they haven't gotten back to me for ten days, so I offer this mystery to the TMC community for your consideration. Here's what happened: Monday Night Football at Gillette Stadium, with my Model X parked in the stadium lot. Walk-away lock...

I'm curious about the outside air temperature readings that I get on my Model X, which has me wondering where and why the sensor is placed. I find it strange that I only seem to get accurate outside temperature readings: 1.) after couple-minute delay; and 2.) when the car has been moving at...

After spending a couple of months logging data on TeslaFi.com for my Model X, across a range of temperature conditions here in New England, I've started to develop some data on how energy consumption varies at different outside temperatures in my car. I'm a pretty average driver (average 314...

Every couple of days, I experience a strange anomaly with my odometer. I hear three quick beeps, the odometer displays zero, and after 3-4 second it goes back to normal. It can happen anytime, but most often about 2 minutes after I pull out of my garage. It doesn't affect operation, so I'm...

Just for sport this weekend, I resurrected my old Uber driver account and took to the road as an Uber driver around Boston in my Model X. The looks I got when I pulled up to the curb and opened the falcon wing doors were priceless! Nobody had seen anything quite like it. Just about everybody...

So here's a nightmare scenario that got me thinking. I'm wondering whether there are safeguards that would prevent it: Model X is parallel parked along the curb of a busy street with traffic whizzing by at close range. Auto-present front door is ON. I'm standing on the sidewalk, about to...

Does anyone know whether someone' (in the forum or elsewhere) has been keeping a complete cumulative log of software update release notes as new releases become available? Is there a way to "look back" at past release notes, or is only the most recent release visible? Also, is the onboard...

See that deep purple blotch with the hail icon in the weather radar image below? That hail is sitting right over the Dedham (Massachusetts) SC, and therefore over my new Model X that's parked in the lot, waiting to be delivered tomorrow. I'm holding my breath, hoping NOT to get a phone call...

Does anyone know what the status "factory gate routing" really means, and why a finished car might be stuck there for six weeks? My Model X came out of production in mid-April, and at that time my DS told me it had entered "factory gate routing" status, and would soon be put into a container to...
