    Potential New EV Tax Credit for 2021

    The most important job of the federal gov. is to protect and defend the constitution of the United States and this republic of ours. The gov. does not subside the military no more than it subsidizes the judicial, executive branches or the congress. This is spelled out in the constitution and is...

    Potential New EV Tax Credit for 2021

    Sounds like the non union portion will if Tesla doesn't sell the min numbers of vehicles, but they are on track to sell more.

    Potential New EV Tax Credit for 2021

    Tesla has proven that it does not need handouts from the Gov to succeed. It's easy for the gov to keep printing money and drive up inflation and burden our children with a debt in the trillions that will be impossible to pay back. Is that fair to them because of the selfishness of some folks...

    Tesla Supercharging - SC05 - Transfer supercharging workaround?

    I bought it last July from a Jeep dealer and have had it in the tesla shop several times and they said I will never lose the free supercharging or connectivity because the original paid for it when they bought the car for $153,000.00 in 2016. Also the free supercharging and connectivity is tied...

    model x Spoiler mode settings keeps reverting back to automatic

    I would like to lock the rear spoiler on my 2016 P90DL Model X to stay up. So I change it to extended in service settings but it keeps reverting back to automatic settings. Any ideas? Want to keep it up during the snow and ice, which we have already had.

    New Model X - Did they fix the shudder problem?

    I posted this in another forum but it also applies here and gives folks out of warranty another option to consider. The only modification that I have done to my car was during last July, I had the N2itive’s Alignment Kit 1 installed which got rid of the shudder, and also lowers the car about 1”...

    Tesla Supercharging - SC05 - Transfer supercharging workaround?

    One more thing I created my own Tesla account and added the 2016 to my account and it has always shown the free super charging and connectivity from day one.

    Tesla Supercharging - SC05 - Transfer supercharging workaround?

    Bought it from a Jeep dealer. I am the 3rd owner and have had it worked on 3 times at the local Tesla shop and have never lost either option. Also the shop said the free super charging and free connectivity is tied to the vin number on all cars and more than one service writer there and a...

    Green Hydrogen

    I worked at a refinery and I ran 2 different hydrogen producing plants, and do you realize how much energy it takes to produce hydrogen. It takes a very large amount of heat and catalyst to separate the hydrogen molecules from what ever feed you are feeding. But I like the idea of hydrogen as a...

    Bought FSD, but X is stuck on 2020 software build without it

    Have a 2016 MX with free unlimited supercharging and connectivity and did the MCU-2 upgrade from MCU-1 and didn't lose either. I did have to pay the $500.00 extra to keep my lifetime Sirus and FM though.

    2016 Model X P90D ludicrous & ludicrous+ with 50k miles getting 230 miles at a full charge.

    I didn't buy this car new, bought it in July, so don't know what the EPA range or real life range was when new. We are old retired farts so drive in chill mode and only launched it once to see what it was like. I have the 240V Tesla charger installed in the garage and we plug it in at home every...

    Cancelled my order today

    I think Tesla is making a huge mistake by not offering the normal steering wheel as an option for the folks who don't like the yoke steering wheel. I read on here and other forums where there are people who have cancelled or decided to not buy a Tesla due to the yoke. One person on this site...

    Cancelled my order today

    Tesla's lose their value just like any other car. We bought a used 2016 Model X with 41,000 miles and it looks brand new inside and out. I have the original window sticker and the original owner paid $152,950.00 in Sept. 15, 2016, so not including tax and license they lost $92,950.00 in 5 years...

    News for Model X owners with the dreaded shudder

    So far shudder is gone for the last 10,000 miles sense installing the N2itive’s Alignment Kit #1. I am 67 and we do drive in chill mode which might make a difference, but not sure. We don't do the launch mode besides once when I first bought the car to see what it is like. When I was in collage...

    News for Model X owners with the dreaded shudder

    Yes you would still have to address the inside tire wear which the kit without the lowering links does and after the install they are able to align it in low and solve the tire wear issue.

    News for Model X owners with the dreaded shudder

    Because I also installed the lowering links all the way around which lowers the car 1", I will never drive in very low. Honestly after doing this why couldn't a person just drive lower rather than installing the lowering links which would achieve the same thing.

    News for Model X owners with the dreaded shudder

    Because they didn't align it in low I drive it in standard. I has asked for it to be aligned in low but they misunderstood me and because it was getting late in the day and I had a 400 mile drive ahead of me, I let it go. My WH-Mile before the work was always in the upper 300's, but right away...

    Potential New EV Tax Credit for 2021

    I bought a very nice new looking Tesla Model X for $60,000.00 with 41,000 miles on it. Have the window sticker and the previous owner paid just under $153,000.00 for it. I sold a paid off VW Passat for $20,000.00 which left me owing $40,000.00 on the Tesla. So did I buy the Tesla to save money...

The shudder issue is caused by the drive shafts being at too...

    Model X: Average Wh/mile Tracker

    Today when driving it I noticed it had dropped to 250 WH - Mile for a short time which got me to thinking. With the cooler weather I am not using the heater nor the air conditioner, which I am sure eats juice.

    Potential New EV Tax Credit for 2021

    I feel that a product should stand on it's own merit without government subsidies. Yes there were subsidies for some Tesla lower priced vehicles in the beginning, but I think Tesla would have been just as successful with out them. Look at today, Tesla has proven that their vehicles are still in...

    Yoke replacement

    Tried out the yoke in a parking lot and what a pain when maneuvering at low speeds, like parking and etc. When driving no issues. So I will keep my 2016 MX and have no plans on buying new due to the yoke wheel. I feel Tesla is making a mistake not offering the traditional steering wheel as an...

    Model X: Average Wh/mile Tracker

Now that the day time temps are around 60 - to 70 degrees and freezing at night, my WH -Mile averages any where from 280 - 320 WH per mile. The car is kept in the garage so it stays fairly warm at night. Also our driving...

    Back up option to wake up the 12V battery in MX

    I put a trickle charger on the 12V non lithium battery when I left for a few weeks and it works fine. The deep cycle 12v battery has no BMS system, but I imagine the new Teslas with the lithium 12V battery would have a BMS system built in. I also have lithium batteries with built in BMS for a...

    Ohmmu battery installation by mobile ranger

    Tesla Supercharging - SC05 - Transfer supercharging workaround?
