    Model X Shudder - Shutter. Legal standing

    Is this still a problem with new “re-freshed” MX? I imagine they haven’t changed anything in regards to improving mechanical components. I really don’t want to deal with this nonsense on $100k+ EV. I noticed when I test drove the Max yesterday, it was very quiet and relatively smooth. No...

    Bought a MX last week. First experience with service didn't go well.

    I think they have 16v li-ion now or did I miss something?

    Rain guard for rear view camera (Model S and Model X)

    Lol! What’s $30 when you spent $100k. If it works, it works and it looks OEM.

    Model YLR Paint Issue

    Oh shoot! I don’t see many red teslas in my area. It sure looked really good and seemed a bit darker, yet brighter than the ones I have seen, so I assumed it was the new color. Now I’m really curious what the ultra looks like in person.

    Model YLR Paint Issue

    I just saw a brand new MYP with ultra red paint. The paint looked amazing on that car.

    Falcon doors in the rain - sensors borked?

    Is it ok to just close the door like any other car or will it affect some mechanism? Also, I didn’t know the auto open was an option. Do you have this feature turned off to prevent the door flying open into the car next to it? That would be my concern, especially in tight parking spots. I am...

    Done with Tesla Model Y Performance after 2000km

    I test drove the MSLR and couldn’t believe how comfortable, quiet and fast it is. If it didn’t sit so low, my wife would have bought it. Test driving the MXLR on Saturday.

    Install for charging

    I paid $1,750 to install a 60a breaker, Tesla wall connector and whole house surge protector.

    Tex-Mex 😁 I appreciate your response. I am looking forward to my Tesla Ev.Had this installed a week ago:)

    Anti-EV comments heard on my roadtrip so far

    Ha, I have a 2020 LC so I have another 20yrs or longer before I get rid of it. When I have a Tesla in the garage, it will be our primary daily user and the Lc will be regulated for severe weather and overlanding.

    Anti-EV comments heard on my roadtrip so far

    Thanks for the detailed reply. I actually like the simplicity of the Tesla compared to other Evs. It’s very new to me and a bit refreshing and fun. I am absolutely looking forward to my test drive next week. I already had the Tesla wall connector installed, mobile connector on hand and the 3d...

    Anti-EV comments heard on my roadtrip so far

    Not sure how to take your comment but it seems pretty rude. If this was meant to be some kind of dig because of my beliefs, it’s absolutely know wonder why people can’t get along with those who choose to have a difference of opinion. I have liberal friends and we go on being friends. I live in...

    New 2023 Tesla Model Y Owner

    Lol! I miss those days of not worrying about dents/dings. Plus, they were easy to pop out and pretty cheap to fix. Broken headlight, I just replaced it myself and the unit was probably around $300. Starter goes out, fan belt needs replacing, I fixed it myself. Can’t do that anymore. Takes a...

    Anti-EV comments heard on my roadtrip so far

    As a proud Conservative and knowing plenty others who are, we are very much into the idea of owning an EV. The problem for me and others, is the reliability aspect and range above all else. For instance, my daughters iPhone died last night and she’s pretty much screwed without it at her...

    New 2023 Tesla Model Y Owner

    The cars greenhouse before sensors was much more open and vehicles were more squared off allowing for better views without the need for sensors. The sight lines on newer vehicles are much more view restricted, hence the need for sensors.

    Solutions for Headsets for kids in the back seats

    Yep, this is how I grew up. My music choices were whatever my parents listened to. Crazy, they survived and I survived these times without iPads, car screens and no headphones, until the Sony walkman was released. 🤪 We didn’t allow our kids to watch movies in the car. This is such a great time...

    Model X noise poll

    I can’t image any decibel over 65 is normal for the re-freshed Model X. My Land Cruiser decibel at 75mph is 58-60db and I’m running 34” Revo3 A/T tires. I test drove the MYP and it was plenty quiet for me, so I would hope the new MX would be even quieter. Correct? Test driving one April 1

    Done with Tesla Model Y Performance after 2000km

    This is odd. I was surprised when I recently test drove both the MYP and MYLR. The MYP road smoother and handled bumps(less rebound wobble) better than the MYLR. Why Tesla doesn’t offer 20” option on MYP is disappointing. In my area, every bit of extra sidewall helps with potholes.

    We must face facts - meat is the problem

    Lol! Nah, I just don’t listen to red herring dribble. Just like your idols with “facts” said the coastlines/lower states would be underwater and North Pole melted by 2016. Now it’s 2026 or 2035, I can’t get all the BS straight, so politicians, enviro.scientists trying to keep the govt. funding...

    Prediction: Coal has fallen. Nuclear is next then Oil.

    Believe me I know as we recently checked out Progressive for our teens which much cheaper. But, once you add an Umbrella policy it takes things into another cost category. Any good recommendations?

    Currently the MX insurance quote through USAA would be my highest insurance cost compared to our BMW, LC, our teens Volkswagen Tiguan and our other teens RAV4

    Prediction: Coal has fallen. Nuclear is next then Oil.

    I ordered the MX but decided to cancel and wait a little bit for the X to get some HW updates since this will be my first EV. I figured waiting to order in October should provide enough to get the HW4 and upgraded cameras for certain. I’m absolutely looking forward to getting my MX. Jus had the...

    We must face facts - meat is the problem

    I didn’t waste my time reading your comment. I know livestock has a big impact on the environment. I will never stop eating meat because it’s good for you in moderation and if it’s 100% grass-fed. I dislike what the current industry is doing to the environment. I think you’ll find most people...

    We must face facts - meat is the problem

    Lol! You are so triggered, it’s hilarious. Less populations, means less environmental impact…Period! You obviously haven’t left your bubble to know what other countries are doing to make livestock and forest sustainable “coexist”. Take a trip to Costa Rica and you’ll see cows foraging in...

    How well does phone key work compared to the old key fob?

    When I get my MX, one of the first things I do is download the $20 iwatch app. This way I won’t even need to take my iPhone on my runs, swimming, SUP boarding.

    We must face facts - meat is the problem

    Meat is not the problem, humans are. Literally stop having kids if you want to save the environment. Less humans, less environmental damage. I travel all over Central America and forests are cleared to make way for vegetables and fruits. Animals and all the little creatures that forage on and in...

    Prediction: Coal has fallen. Nuclear is next then Oil.

    I think a lot of Tesla owners who claim owning an EV such as a Tesla believe they are cheaper to run over a number of years compared to your Jeep or other ICE. I do agree with them up to a certain point, especially when comparing to unreliable vehicle's. But when you compare Tesla Insurance...

    How many of you will/may transition to CyberTruck?

    The cybertruck is a joke now. It was kind of cool when they showed it off a couple years ago. I cancelled my order last year and reserved the HummerEV that I’m scheduled to receive next fall.

    My disaster of a delivery experience (No quality control)

    I canceled my MX order the other day. Not just because of these issues I’m hearing on the site, plus hearing from my wife’s Physician colleagues who have had issues and poor customer service but also the stupid haptic steering wheel and lack of 36 camera. Lost the $250, but I’d rather sit tight...

    Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

    Thanks, I’m getting nervous with some of these responses towards how bad they are. Now granted, I can turn my brights most of the time as the roads we travel on have few oncoming traffic at a constant rate. Hopefully the brights help really light up the pathway on these sketch roads.

    Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

    I wasn’t aware of aftermarket lights. Any good recommendations? Do the fog lights really add that much better lighting? How reasonable is it think if Tesla X comes available with matrix lights, I can swap them for current?

    Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

    This is actually a problem for me that I wasn’t aware of. I may actually cancel my order because of it now. Where we live, it’s very far at night as the roads here in E.Tennessee are windy and can be very dark especially when we have full leaf growth blocking out even moonlight and it rains...

    I don’t have a Vin yet. You mention searching the source on the image, but not sure what image you’re referring to. I’m new to Tesla, so this is all new to me. Is this an image that populates in the iPhone Tesla App once the Vin is assigned?

    2023 upgrade to a bigger rear screen?
