Buy a portable generator that you can put in the trailer. It can top up the car while fishing.

Hmmm. Just saw something similar on my 2017. Car was plugged in and already fully charged for the evening. Walked out to car and opened car door with AC and infotainment system coming on as expected. A moment later the wall charger indicated current flow; however, car charge ring which was...

Isn't shore power great! What size slip do you have? 😊😁 Seriously though: You are charging the battery, in the sense that shore power flows into the batteries and then out to the accessories...

X is a very good ride. We have 60,000 miles on our 2017 X, including driving across the USA. The 2022 X is slightly better and also slightly quieter. The X is much more sophisticated than the Y in many ways (not just suspension.) I don't have an opinion in comparison to BMW or MB.

Unfortunately my comments only pertain to the Redwood kit. I doubt there is anybody who would have bought two different kits and have done two change outs...

I agree with the above, you end up with a smoother ride, but you do hear the suspension work at lower speeds (10-20 mph) going over speedbumps - it is a whooshing sound, my wife describes it as an old jalopy sound. There are no clicks or other mechanical sounds. The whooshing sound increases...

We have both versions of MX... we like the usability of the older version layout better. The new car is better built, has more features, etc... but steering wheel, stalks, buttons and menus: old version wins out...

I have both Mx 2017 and 2022, identical configuration. (See my signature for details. ) I would say the 2022 is slightly quieter and smoother, but only slightly. The noise cancellation is minimal at this time, you can hear a slight difference when you turn it on. Generally, people are happy...

All ancillary systems (AC, Headlights, infotainment system) use energy. So reducing the AC load would help... but not by a substantial amount. AC systems use approximately 0.75 kWh, while driving the car at 60mph would use about 16 kWh. So you can see that cutting AC by 10% would only save...

I fully agree with this - not only do you break in all of the moving parts (bearings, etc...) but you also learn to drive the car better... someone else suggested you use chill mode - that's a good idea too. Go through all of the menus and set the car the way you like. Drive it for a few weeks...

I just installed Redwood's set up on a 2022 LR model Y with stock 19" wheels. It is exactly at original stock height.

Tesla has an exceptional IT department... all of the issues you bring up are legitimate, but there is nothing to prevent them from programming in these constraints into their predictive tools to achieve a more reliable delivery estimate... I mean, if you can't do this, why would you expect to...

I look at it all of the time (it's on your driving screen)... but it seems to be right only about 50 or 60% of the time.... when it is correct, I just tap on the brakes and go in the direction of the BIG (very big) arrow. To be clear: errors are mostly in the driveway or in close confined...

BTW, my car was initially overinflated... something like 46 psig. Then I lowered it to 42 psig... eventually settled on 36 psig - definitely rides better...

You guys are missing the point. People are indicating the initial pressure, because that's what was the setting when we drove the car for the 1st XXX miles. Later, when we lowered the pressure, we are providing a relative feel for the car - in comparison to that initial pressure. This has...

You are overdue for an attitude adjustment! 😁 I recommend that you held off on this jubilant email till AFTER you get your X back from the Service Center.... 😁🤣🤣

Forget about it... No single test will help you figure out what you are going to do going across the country. I crossed the country last summer in our 2017 X, over 2 weeks and 4500 miles - car did great. Just use your Navigation system and it will guide you from charger to charger...

As soon as you handed them $2900... everything gets straightened out !!! see.... very easy... 😁 By the way, I had the same problem, but my 2017 was still under warranty when it failed...

The new filter is behind the framework and battery - you can see its width and height, and you can see inside of it - but I don't have a sense of the depth. (see my previous post pointing at the Monroe & Ass. video of the model S)... Because of its location I am not as confident it will be...

Maybe it's your sentiment that has changed... You (and I also... ) have our Xs.... They don't... 😁😁😁

I have a 2017 MX and a 2022 MX and am aware of the HEPA filter size / shape differences. I don't perceive any sound level increase, maybe even a slight decrease in the passenger cabin. The velocity in the new filter should not be a major issue, as compared to maximum air flow rates. And...

Anyone??? Even a copy of the 12V schematic would be helpful...

I want something more permanent and, hopefully, fused...

Anybody figure out on the Model X refresh (with the Li-Ion battery) how to access the Positive 12V? I don't like the idea of just wrapping wire onto the big booster post. I am looking for another wire in the frunk area with 12V supply that I can tap into... Any suggestions would be appreciated.

In regards to oil companies: They are not extorting anyone... Remind us again what business you are in? I am sure your organization has passed on stock options, personal pay raises, opportunities to increase the price of products... All in the name of being a nice organization, making sure...

If you were granted your wish, you would never get your car... Imagine a world where Tesla announces all upcoming features that will be installed in the car over the next 9 months (I am sure there are people at Tesla that are working now on finalizing details for upcoming changes as we speak)...

We should call ourselves: Swivel To Unite with Determination and Strength!! (STUDS... ) 😁😁😁

You mean to say: hopefully, Tesla tilts in our favor 😎

My January 2022 model Y build has the original large HEPA filter... easy to service, way more surface area - so should be a better filter all around. The only negative is that the previous version takes up a lot more space... Maybe this is why the frunk in my 2022 X seems larger than my 2017 X...

Thanks for your response... that HEPA filter has gotten a lot smaller... and looks a lot harder to service...

Turn off the recirculate option. This will force air out through the rear tailgate exit vents... hence the whole car will get conditioned air. It will use a little bit more energy... but your dog in the trunk area will be cooler.

For an X, built in March, 2022 the 12V post used for boosting the car is very hidden behind some metal members! Here are a couple of pictures to help you locate it.

I removed the frunk tub and cover. Are you saying that the grilled box with silvery mesh is where the HEPA filter is located? (See attached picture. )

I have had great success in calling (510) 249-3500. Select vehicles (option 1), then select deliveries (option 3). They are happy to tell you the status of your car, especially if you have a vin # assigned.

You don't determine build date from the VIN. You have to call the delivery center and you can ask them for the build date, or the date my car came alive... something to that effect. They will just tell you.

Why do you say that? You have a current vin number at 342xxx, my car was built on 3/24 and I have a vin of 3376xx... You can call the 800 # delivery center and they will tell you the physical build date... they will even tell you if it has not been built yet... In my case, vin assigned Monday...

My car was built on March 24 and has a 3376XX vin...

Now, that's creative!! ... we might as well incorporate the powered seat and move you out of the way of the sun's rays! And while we are at it... For total nuttiness: We can have the navigation system route you so as to minimize sun glare. Of course, since we are going down this road, we can...

Trust me... I have a Tilted & Swiveled screen on my model Y. It totally looks and functions better than a non-swiveled positioned display. The primary reason is that the primary view of the cabin is from the driver's seat - it is not from straddling the armrest. Of course, it really does...

Wow... I can't believe it... but I took a screenshot of the website two weeks after I ordered my car. It says I am supposed to have Left-Right TILT... The snapshot is dated February 2, 2021... good to know... attached is a copy:

Yes.. keep the X, sell the other 2... save the money.... Just my 2 cents worth.

Don't you mean to say... While Tesla just pummels you once, up front, at purchase... :D😁😁

The Lotus shown has a lot of bling for the sake of bling... The X is similar to the Y, but moving towards more luxurious and spacious. (We have both 2022 X and Y - so I have a clear understanding when comparing them.) Just looking at the video, the X feels a lot more spacious - not sure if...

SoCal, Orange County, very reputable shop: Bumper: $700, front half (mirrors, hood, fenders, bumber): $2000. I would do the front half, if money is tight do the bumper for sure...

Maybe they should shoot for something more near term... how about 1 sigma? Heck! Just approximate behaviors of a sober human should be a near term stretch goal.

Maybe swiveling display as shown in Monroe Associates, but I wouldn't think tilting...

My 3/24 build doesn't seem to have the center horn button... just a guess, as I don't feel much movement in center pad. So you might be right...

Did you order the Yugo 1st? or the X? 😁😁😁 Also, I can feel confident that the X will be at least as good as the YUGO... although, the X does not have an ashtray and cigarette lighter, and no AM radio either! Our American products are catching up to the Russian ones - we hope to match them...
