    1st week with Tesla 3, quality control issues

    In the 5-6 times I've had to take my model X to my SC, I've never gotten a tesla. Always an ICE rental. they do cover the gas though. It's ranged from Hyundai to Infiniti to jaguar... On the bright side it reminded me why tesla is so awesome (when it's working). Something like this happens...

    Model X Insurance Rates

    Just wanted to thank you all for spreading the word about Progressive. I just checked, they were over $1000 cheaper per year compared to all state, who had covered me previously. My all state agent advised me to switch now and keep it as long as I can.

    Total Autopilot Failure - HELP

    I had a few similar problems 2 months into ownership. Autopilot, auto lights, GPS wouldn't work. Needed my ecu replaced. Yours doesnt sound quite the same But it could be something like that

    Model 3 Initial Impressions

    I'm thinking about Model 3, but was actually trying to hold off for non-PUP because I was hedging against the glass roof. Did you tint the MX windshield or use the sun shade? I added a piece of cloth to the included sun shade, so it is good to hear it may be better on M3 than MX but any more...

    On a Trip, and the Falcon Wing Door Won’t Close!

    Try a recalibration? From another poat: "The recalibration process is this...having just done it yesterday: sitting in the car / second row / doors closed. Push down on the FWD switch (child lock off) until it beeps and keep holding for another 5-10 seconds. Then pull up on the FWD switch and...

    Accessory shop experience

    Sorry to hear your experience. Their store is the worst. I had to return a product and it took me 5 emails over 3 weeks. I could never find a phone number, and if you call national they don't have a number for them either. The cable organizer, if that's what you ordered, may take like 4 weeks...

    Yellow ring around Main Display?

    Definitely call ahead to save yourself a trip. My SC said the screen is backordered and they've ordered it for me, will tell me when it arrives.

    How to add a HEPA filter to your non-Bioweapon facelift Model S!

    Did you try Parts department directly? You may also just try calling again. I had to call 4 times before I found someone willing to sell it to me. Otherwise the FilterBuy MERV13 would still be a benefit I would think.

    Trade in Model X for Model 3?

    MX 60d owner here. First of all we have 2 kids and that's all I can handle, bless you guys for going 6! Congrats! I have received the model 3 invite but planning for the SR model 3 so holding out for now... However the 300 mile range of the LR is super tempting (plus then I could get it in 4...

    Another Model X Problem!!! 3rd row seat stuck in down position.

    This is super helpful!!! I'll have to try this. I avoid moving seats up and down if possible because I don't want it to break again if fix takes so long. I can live with a manual switch though.

    How to add a HEPA filter to your non-Bioweapon facelift Model S!

    I don't know it really happens but I read it air filters aren't installed in the correct air flow direction they may not work properly. Maybe check with the manufacturer of your filter to see if it matters for their filter which direction it is installed?

    HEPA Air filter for everyone...

    I think most people here think it does. Several members have reported improvement from smells and things like that from areas that typically smell terrible when they drive by after installation of the filter. My SC told me non-pup cars don't have the right ducts for this, but given how do many...

    HEPA filters without PUP

    I too only bought the filter. As mattack4000 said install takes less than an hour. No special tools needed, or skills. I have no experience with cars and never opened the area where this goes, and install was indeed quite easy. Just 20 bolts that were not difficult at all to take off.

    Took me 4 calls. Eventually got one by talking with parts dept. Good luck, pm me if any questions or want more details.

    HEPA filters without PUP

    With the fires nearby in Southern California, I decided it was time to attempt the installation. Happy to report it was super quick, even screwing/unscrewing the bolts manually. Less than an hour to do it, thanks to Jays200 videos above!

    How to add a HEPA filter to your non-Bioweapon facelift Model S!

    You can try the Parts department directly if you went to Service at first. I called 4 times, the second time with parts department I got someone willing to sell just the filter to me. All that being said the Filterbuy would be a great way to go too without the hassle.

    How to add a HEPA filter to your non-Bioweapon facelift Model S!

    I wrote about this on Model X thread but for anyone with MX who was looking for ideas in this thread, I was able to get OEM Tesla MX HEPA filter from my local SC for $175+tax. They won't install or activate BWD for me... Hopefully install is as easy as the MS. Thanks Crehop for the inspiration!

    3rd Party HEPA Filter

    Inspired by this thread on the Model S side, it took me 2 tries but I was able to get the Parts department at my local SC to sell me the Model X Hepa Filter. The super nice parts employee was very clear they would not activate BWD or install the filter for me. The Model X filter comes in the...

    HEPA Air filter for everyone...

    There is a thread on the Model S side where those owners are having better luck. I am going to call my SC and just ask for the OEM part with plan to install myself. Alternatively, I am going to buy a filter from FilterBuy and install it myself. They have a MERV13 filter which I guess isn't quite...

    How to add a HEPA filter to your non-Bioweapon facelift Model S!

    Here’s what I’ve gathered; $150 for Model S and $175 for Model X vs $20-30ish from filterbuy. MERV13 filters from filterbuy seem quite close to HEPA although not quite HEPA ratings. but from what I was reading MERV13 should still help a lot with of and road particulate matter? Other difference I...

    Can you update the software on the older 75D to make 0-60 times faster like the new 75D?

    Thanks for clarifying. I have a 60d, built dec 2016, and my SC told me I was not eligible... only builds after July 2017, which doesn’t make sense since all builds after July have the performance increase already. I haven’t decided whether the $4500 is worth it to get access to the whole...

    How to add a HEPA filter to your non-Bioweapon facelift Model S!

    Which service center do you go to? I called mine, in San Diego, they said that an internal email two weeks ago said to stop offering the retrofit so my SC is not willing to install the hepa filter. They said it costs $175 but the retrofit includes other necessary hardware so they would not order...

    How to add a HEPA filter to your non-Bioweapon facelift Model S!

    Just curious which service centers have you all been able to get the actual tesla HEPA filter from? So far San Diego doesn’t appear to be too amenable.

    How to add a HEPA filter to your non-Bioweapon facelift Model S!

    This is great news! I have a non pup MX and missed out when this could be ordered online. 6 months ago service center said they can't order it for me, but I'm going to call again tomorrow. Hope my service center offers it!

    Auto cancellation for unknown reason?

    This happened to me when i ordered our Model X. This was back in 2016 though. I had wanted coil suspension back when they offered it and kept holding out past several promotions until finally I decided I would go for it. However after I agreed to upgrade the order was cancelled instead without...

    Loaner

    In San Diego, have taken my Model X in 4 times, never gotten a loaner. Hyundai, Infiniti, two times I had them pay for uber round trip (just went back to a really old car). Definitely a downer to not get a loaner, the only silver lining is it let me test a luxury ICE SUV and that made me very...

    Harmful UV Rays and Model X ?

    Harmful UV Rays and Model X ?

    I believe Tesla claims 99%+ UV rejection but we always use the included sunshade just in case. It helps significantly, and honestly I don't mind the decreased visibility up top at all. We are in southern CA.

    CPO model x

    I would also consider AP1 vs AP2. Regarding build quality I have a Dec 2016 model x and I did have to go to service center 4 times in the first few months of ownership to get a couple things that broke fixed. It's only been like 3 months since our last service center visit so I think jury is...

    Rear seat will not fold - 6 month wait for repair??

    Many including myself have had the opposite problem--seat won't fold up. Another Model X Problem!!! 3rd row seat stuck in down position. The "repair" was to just replace the entire seat... mine took 6 weeks. I'm scared to fold the third row now especially if we know we have guests coming soon...

    Another Model X Problem!!! 3rd row seat stuck in down position.

    Thanks, and sorry to hear that. Wonder if they feel like this occurs at it too frequently given all our reports. Given also occurs on drivers side (and not any real reason it should isolate tonoassenger) I guess I'll continue to just pray every time I put it down that it comes back up!

    Another Model X Problem!!! 3rd row seat stuck in down position.

    Another Model X Problem!!! 3rd row seat stuck in down position.

    Agree--actually after I had my seat replaced, I got a call a week later saying my part arrived. I was like, uh, I don't need another one you guys just replaced it last week.

    Hmm good question, I think conservatively 330ish wh/mi then when on the 5 going north/south to LA in typical socal temperatures. Normal day-to-day driving going to work and stuff we average 355 wh/mi I think.

    How safe are FWDs for small children?

    We have a 4 yo and 1 yo. No accidents here, although it took a lot of "training" to get my 4yo to stop using his feet to activate the door. (Our light headliner has all these footprints...sigh, I digress). As a door I don't think it's any more susceptible than a regular door or sliding door...

    An ICE Driver's Disappointing Reaction

    Only positive things here in San Diego, but there are tons of Tesla's out here. Just yesterday we had a really nice couple ask us to open the FWD, they had never seen it in person and were very interested. Probably 25-50% of the time I hear someone say, for example telling their parents or if...

    I have a mx60d and leave mine on range mode all the time. I am in SoCal so lots of superchargers where we have driven, have never had an issue but lowest I've gotten is around 70-80 miles remaining before supercharging. Supercharging seems quite fast to me still, I always have to interrupt our...

    Another Model X Problem!!! 3rd row seat stuck in down position.

    For those interested (and for those considering the extended warranty), the repair quote for this is about $5000 ($4800 for seat, $200 for labor). I asked as I am considering not getting the extended warranty, so keeping track of how much these repairs might costing me... wish they would just...

    Andrew, we are also in SD. Sorry to hear about your experience. We had the same issue with the 3rd row seat about 2 months into ownership.

    Sorry to hear that. This happened to us and now I am afraid we will have guests over and it will break. To top if off they do t even repair the latch. I had to wait 6 weeks for the "right part" to arrive which in reality was the entire seat, the right ppart being black leather seat. The Tesla...
