The range on trips won't be that bad when you have free supercharging. I tow with my X90D and even when NOT towing the range is not more than 180 miles anyway on a FULL charge... So you get used to stopping every 2 hours for 15 minutes. FUSC isn't limited to just one transfer, that's the limit...

If you own the Y... Stay with it. There isn't that much size difference, but you get 500 more electric motors in things that don't NEED to be overcomplicated. You have actual door handles, that's a good thing. I mean the thing has powered headrests! Then there's the ridiculous rear doors and...

Definitely have not lost interest! I've recently moved to CT though (the state not a cybertruk lol) and have been renovating the house. I'm actually about to finish picking up another trailer full of items to bring North, using my RV. Asking the Tesla to pull a 20' long cargo trailer is a bit...

If it has to do with the parking brake motors, unplug them and see if the errors resolve soon after. The sensor in the motors relies on a 5 volt reference that is also the reference source for the entire communication bus, so if that is shorted to ground then the communication bus fails. You...

Just like the title asks... I've got two 2016 X that both had the pyro message not too long ago, and now both have had low coolant alerts come up. So the question before I bring them in and submit to the service center trying to profiteer off me... Does anyone have the instructions for the pyro...

Exactly my thought after playing with a loaner that had FSD. The EAP / highway autopilot is what they got right, and the only place where it should be allowed anyway. Trying to let the car decide what lane to be in or navigate directions / merges / lane changes.... No thanks. It's too unstable...

Jack it up, take the back wheels off and unscrew the motors from the parking calipers. Then turn the gear clockwise (tighten) to release the parking brakes. That's pretty much your only option.

That will be about 3 days after the FSD actually can drive you from home to your work without any user intervention. So the 33rd of Nochanceuary

I came into the city to drop someone off at a doctor, so I had some time to kill. Those two locations were far enough away that I didn't want to go far though - the 47th street probably would have been closer but the cross-town traffic was.... the usual. ;) 75th st was just right out. I wasn't...

Both are equally as trustworthy though, compared to a written document with the force of contract law. If they won't put the statement in writing for you (and the app chat DOES NOT COUNT).... Then buyer beware.

I wouldn't trust them AT ALL to not still strip the FUSC even as their delivery windows are unmet... This is how desperate they are to get the truly transferable UNLIMITED supercharging off the market, and turn it into free-but-not-unlimited-because-we-decide-what-seems-reasonable supercharging.

Yes I did submit the check-in on Plugshare, not that I expect anyone to reply to that. The Plugshare location was going to be a Level 2 J1772, which wouldn't be DCFC at all - but I'd have been OK with that if it was! I do think that DCFC locations should have both the NACS plug as well as the...

It's so cute that you think that is even possible. The congestion charge plan for NYC is badly conceived and will be a complete shitshow for the general public, but because they have WRITTEN INTO THE LAW that they MUST make $1B per year from it, they aren't backing off ever. But if there is...

So to clarify - this is the range you were getting on your car 1 day before the errors... Or when that car was brand new? (I don't see a signature line with a car description so it's hard to know)

You can tell that by looking at the pack part number on the sticker behind the passenger tire. The last character is the revision.

The best comment was during an interview with one of these geniuses.... He said this to the reporter: "There are supporters for a flat earth all around the globe." Uhm.... Say that again, slower this time. ;)

Tax incentives are USUALLY laden with so much fine print as to make usage extremely difficult, but hey... They sound good in a 20 second press conference sound bite on the 11pm news. I was recently looking for an actual charger in Manhattan, and expected that I would have to pay for the parking...

Mine (two model X) have this year for the warranty, while the two model S are both out of warranty. The battery and drive units have not been the thing that has cost me the most money on ANY of them. The sheer overcomplexity of the design on the X and the locked-down nature of service and openly...

I've heard two different answers on the replacement batteries - they will give you whatever is laying around that you had originally in size, BUT might only deliver the same degraded range you are getting now... Or they will give you a brand new pack and software limit it to whatever the car had...

But getting them heated up uses too much energy to be efficient....

I was able to get my gateway updated at a service center to allow for the folding second row AND the MCU2 XM radio module (both self-installed from parts I got myself) BUT they said that nothing could be done without a service request to even allow them to open the computer via their system. So...

I haven't seen that in the posted documents... BUT that fits with my suspicions - they are looking for something (even SC05 for the current owner) that they have the ability to take away at any time. They could theoretically do that with SC01 as well, but then there would probably be legal...

I'm still suspicious that their documents only refer to the new charging as "Free supercharging" and all the old charging as "Free UNLIMITED supercharging" which is a distinct difference. That makes me think they are taking away the unlimited, and now you will have a certain amount of free...

I have not had the opportunity yet to test the cable, it is in Florida and I'm in CT at the moment - but I will hopefully be loading up the cable and more of my tools soon to continue my move. Definitely would like to get this resolved soon, towing a trailer with the Tesla is painful at chargers.

that's a good datapoint for long duration usage at a lot of conditions, 46k miles has to be (per the average driver) over 3 years of use. That bears up what I've been seeing, the X is a portable barn that is hurt by the wind on the highway.

Where have you read that? The telematics are entirely cellular, the only use of wifi is for software updates unless you don't have any wifi points saved and never go to a supercharger - then after a certain amount of time it will download it over the cellular instead. Source: My own cars...

$120 per year, because Elon can't afford to cover the music and traffic data on cars that are sending tens of GB of telematics EVERY SINGLE MONTH whether you pay or not. It's ridiculous.

I know that my 2016 X still uses the USS for parking assist measurements (and I've checked them with a tape measure and the numbers are pretty close!) so if the programmers have decided to stop using something that is INSTALLED ALREADY for the doors... Then they are morons. The advantage of...

Rule number one: If a service center employee tells you something.... Consider the information less trustworthy than if it had been found scrawled on a discarded burger wrapper stuck to the wall of a bus station. They have been trained to tell the customer ANYTHING that comes to mind, rather...

I don't like how the documents and the fine print all refer to the new car's charging as "Free Supercharging" but not Free UNLIMITED Supercharging. I feel like they are playing word games and it will be capped usage.

Having the older car with ultrasonic sensors... My car fights me sometimes and other times it does not. This started with a software update late last year, so they can un-fork this with another software update. IF they have any incentive.

Does your car have MCU2? That will be difficult to get around if you do, unless my information is out of date.

Glad to hear that you got it working! Does the heated wheel show up in the climate control or the climate section of the app for you now? I haven't added the heated wheel to mine yet but I'd like to... But not if I have to faff around with a service center to get them to activate it.

Hello Kelly, I appreciate the reply. From my perspective as a potential customer, I realize that I am possibly a bit more than the average bear in what I am looking for and conversely what I might be able to provide to a vendor. I want widespread adoption of electric vehicles and a vibrant...

I'd contact anyone that is capable of bending tube aluminum and TIG welding it. They would have the skills to fabricate something for you, and it's going to have to be custom. If you have AP hardware, make sure that there are gaps around the USS sensors in the bumper and the lower foglight...

Instead of looking to collect personal information, why not be open about the available coverage limitations on the website? For example, AFTER putting in all the "required" information, your website coughs up that you refuse to cover 2016 vehicles. I didn't even get to a point of seeing if...

That’s very nice. I am very jealous. Right now, I am towing a 6 x 12 open trailer with a 4 x 6 enclosed sitting on top of it. Not a lot of stuff inside the enclosed trailer and at 70 mph I’m doing 890 wh/mi. It sucks. Although, the charging speed is decent. I have seen 170 and it’s still...

What kind of wh/mi are you seeing on your X at 80mph? I'm pretty sure there is something going on with mine, I have two 2016 X90D that are only a couple months apart (otherwise identical) and mine is pushing 500 wh/mi at 80 when NOT towing. Actual range on a full charge is somewhere around 150...

How do I fare? In what way? Sorry, I'm not sure what you are asking here. I'm on a road trip with my X right now, and I've already been through MOST of the lower 48 with it since I bought it just about a year ago. Been to California with it already, as well as across to CT via I-80 end-to-end...

I have been alternatively told this, as well as handed uber credits AND loaners on multiple occasions. It seems to be based entirely on the size of the location and whether the service center employee feels like lying to the customer or being a decent human that day.

Ok - I stand corrected. Color me confused on the specific chemistry of the batteries, I thought there were only the two. I can’t edit my previous post. But what I am referring to are the model three and Y vehicles which have the suggestion to charge to 100% I believe weekly because of that...

Something IS going to break - it will be inside the door and the service center will be happy to "upgrade" your car and fix the failed door module for the low cost of $1000 each. Because that is PRECISELY what happened to me. There was never a need for automation in the doors. THEY ARE DOORS...

Sorry I didn't report back earlier. So the part that I got from Ebay was perfect, it DOES have the heated steering wheel ECU. I also discovered that yes the buttons CAN be replaced separately (with a bit of fiddling and unscrewing) and the two button pads and the horn are all linked together...

The issue with the NMC batteries is the voltage curve they present to the BMS. It is nearly flat. THESE NUMBERS ARE FAKE EXAMPLES ONLY: For an NCA battery, it could be like an alkaline in a battery tester, where there is a linear progression. 1.6v is full, 1.5v is like 80%, 1.3v 50%, 1.2v is...

Good for you for standing up to their nonsense. That is the ONLY way that we have to (eventually) force them to get better - we have to be smarter than they are and call them on their bullshipt at every single experience of it. The continual lies from the service center people is far too much to...

And if you'd like a translation of what all the option codes mean, once you have that long image address from your "Manage" link on your Tesla account's web page.... Copy just the option section to the box on this site and it will give you a table with the definitions...

I haven't had a BMS error, but I'm not sure that actually would isolate the BMS from the battery anyway. The fireman's loop SHOULD open the contactors and keep the power in the battery and anything that is directly connected (like the BMS?) but my knowledge on that is limited. I do know that...

Now that is interesting, b/c I had an argument with my SC about this, b/c they were "researching" if they had ever been replaced on my car previous to my ownership, and if they HAD - then I would have been subject to paying full freight instead of the TSB b/c in their estimation the TSB can only...

That's what I believe as well, but I haven't had a chance to mess around with it. The issue may be that I can't get to the proximity wire in the handle end where the resistors are, to make it a true straight-through and bypass those resistors. That COULD be the solution. Does anyone know a way...

It's been a while since I tried but I seem to recall that it did work with AC.
