    Has anyone experience with the COzero dash cam?

    This was found on the Teslarati site as well as TMC. Dashcam for Model X AP2 – COzero International It looks interesting but has little information on the camera itself, namely resolution and such. Installation looks very easy and integrates into the mirror housing. Does anyone have any...

    How many people actually test drove before buying?

    Tesla, at our request, loaned us an MX for an afternoon. My wife and I took turns driving it and we were sold. We traded a MS, which we purchased after a test drive about two years previous. Biggest factor was ease of entry/exit, visibility of traffic (higher seating), AP2+ as opposed to AP1...

    Question on adding an HEPA filter to a MX without PUP

    BFlat, thanks, I hadn’t taken it out of the wrapping. You eased my mind.

    Question on adding an HEPA filter to a MX without PUP

    The filter arrived today, the one from Amazon. It is in two pieces. No instructions of course. Does anyone tape these filters in place in order to assure there is no leakage or is it a tight enough fit that there is no need? I'm going to install tomorrow morning.

    FWD don't close on inclined driveway

    Is there a curve to the slope of your driveway? Has the message for "recalibrating" the door ever come up? I believe there is a paragraph or two in the manual about the FWDs. Several months ago we went through a short period where one or the other FWD wouldn't shut and the calibration message...

    Question on adding an HEPA filter to a MX without PUP

    @Yinn, Thanks for the link. Sure a big difference in cost between S and X versions of filter. Is there a You Tube short of how to open up the space to insert the filter? Thanks all..

    Question on adding an HEPA filter to a MX without PUP

    Just looked up the “top fit” cabin air filter on Amazon. It lists filter just for Model S. Does the same filter work in the Model X? Thanks

    autopilot issue with non-moving objects

    Yes, 2018.26 has improved driving manners. Reaction to cars changing lanes in front of the Tesla are much smother. It senses if the intruding car is moving faster and suppresses a knee-jerk reaction now. Much smoother all round in traffic. Hope we are able to download the coming version...

    Forward Collision Alert saved my *** this weekend

    I have experience what you describe. The scariest and first time our MS reacted was in the fast lane in 5 PM traffic on I15 in SLC, Utah. Really surprised us. A car ahead of the car we were following missed a left exit lane and drove over the median to get on the off ramp.

    Can you take a X to a regular car wash?

    I do not have any ceramic application on the car. I Opti-Seal is a polymer.

    Firmware 9.0 Features Wishlist!

    How many have difficulty seeing the "Hill Hold" icon in the IC? It sits high in the IC and its view is blocked by the steering wheel rim. If the icon were placed on the low side of the IC, it would be readily visible. Seems like it would be a simple software change. Thanks

    Autopilot lane centering on highway is dangerous and annoying

    We have experienced the same issues described by the OP both in our 1st Tesla with AP1 and now in our MX with AP2.5. As also noted above, the issue is worse or better depending to some extent which state you are in and road condition. Most exit ramps on Oregon freeways have change the fog or...

    Tesla only?

    We had a mini-van while we owned a Model S and when we decided to get an X we also decided to sell the mini van. We have been about 9 months with just the X now and have no regrets. We are retired and have young grand children. The FWDs are wonderful compared to the S and even the mini-van...

    Portland To Winnemucca

    We are evaluating a route from Portland, OR, to the SW and would like to go via Winnemucca, NV. We see that there is supposed to be a public (?) charger in Burns, OR, and a charger at "Say When", Mcdermitt, NV. Does anyone know anything about the Burns charger, exact location, level...

    90D Vacation from 190 to 40 in 7 days unplugged parked . Normal?

    We often leave our MX undriven for 3 and sometimes 4 days at a time plugged in and in "always connected" mode. No A/C, overheat protection or polling services connected. Prior to V2018.18, vampire loss was about 2.5 RM/day. Since 2018.18 was installed, vampire loss has decreased to less than...

    Software Update 2018.18.2 301aeee

    @Veritas, See my post above, #195, Only difference is that I do not have a time set for charging. It will charge when the SOC drops to the threshold which appears to be 3% or so. Vampire drain seems to be significantly reduced with this 18.18 update.

    Software Update 2018.18.2 301aeee

    We have had the 18.18 update for about two weeks. The NAV is improved especially the one in the IC. What I do notice is an apparent reduction in vampire draw. With all previous versions, the draw amounted to about 3 miles of range per day. This is in the "always connected" mode. On two occasions...

    2018.16 update missing Energy Saving Mode

    Our MX, 654XX Vin, received the 2018.18 update about a week ago. Just checked and it does have "energy saving mode" and it is checked as "on", also it is "always connected". Prior to this update with same settings, Vampire draw amounted to about 3 miles of range per day over a three day span...

    Crack in glass strip on roof

    Poll: New lighted front T for Model X and facelift S: Smaller S size for savings or larger X size?

    Seeing the comparison above and imagining what they would look like when lit, I vote for using the S size, the smaller one. Thanks,

    Reading lights and wipers

    Reading lights and wipers

    @Todd, I too would like better or brighter reading light. Haven't seen any remedy yet. If you have the latest update, V-2017 50.3 XXXX, or later, you should have rain sensing wipers. Check your version# and the Tesla manual for operation. As for the windshield washer, the button on the...

    Wow, brakes are amazing! Unbelievable stopping power

    Note also that, assuming you are not in AP/TACC, the instant you begin to lift your foot off of the accelerator pedal, the car goes into regeneration mode which, of course, starts significantly slowing the car. In an ICE, the time from starting to lift your foot from the accelerator to hitting...

    X vs Mercedes ML350 / GLE350 ?

    We had an S for 18 months before trading it got an X. We discovered that there was a marked improvement in quality and amenities in the X over S especially in ride quality and visibility. We had next Gen seats in the S which were good but the X seats are better to our feeling. There a number...

    2017.50 2275226

    @CameronB We have that situation. A wall on one side of our parking space and usually a car on the other. With both our S/ AP1 and our X with AP2+, getting auto park to perpendicular park is a hit and miss situation.

    Model X, 75D, five place, weight

    I went to the dump / recycle center to dispose of some waste yesterday and asked the attendant to weigh the car on the way out. The weight was 5,400 pounds. I weigh about 180 so that leaves about 5,200 pounds for the car. There were a number of odds and ends in the car including tow ball...

    Taking delivery of my Model X on the 16th, but I've got an 1,100 mile trip home

    We have made the the drive from OKC to Flagstaff and down to Phoenix in both an S and an X. The hardest gap to make will probably be from ABQ to Gallup. Nights will be cold, most likely below freezing. If there is a west wind, it will butcher your range. Plus the stretch is mostly uphill...

    2017.42 a88c8d5

    As well as several other posts above: Folks, I do not think there has been any meaningful work/improvement in the TACC/AP2 over the last several updates except for the AEP. Version 17 42.1 94435ee was installed on 10/25. This is the third update in the five weeks that we have had this...

    Yes, and in inclimate weather, it is best to be very conservation. Yesterday we left with a range of 200 miles plus on a 110 mile trip. The headwind was a gusting to 30 mph with heavy rain and 40- 45 degree temperatures. We barely made it to our destination, 10 miles left. After charging to...

    Very stiff steering wheel even in comfort mode

    17.42 was downloaded to our X yesterday morning. We subsequently made a 200 mile trip and I did notice that the steering seemed a somewhat stiff. However the car was in AP mode for a good portion of the drive and no back problems were noted.

    Model X: Average Wh/mile Tracker

    With just 24 miles on the ODO, we drove our new MX to the SW and back starting on 9/29/17. Over 3,697 miles we averaged 307 Wh/mile. Experienced temperatures from the high 90s in Phoenix to freezing in Baker City, OR. The winds were variable from all directions. Worst day was from ABQ, NM to...

    Autopilot, garbage on the road

    My experience exactly. We found that same phenomenon was more likely to happen when it was a truck in the right hand lane. Our X would slow down to the speed of the truck until we just accelerated through. I wonder if this is the result of too much spread in the radar path. I believe the...

    Autopilot, garbage on the road

    We also have experienced this feature of TACC. Furthermore on our recent trip we were pleased to have the car stop behind a car already stopped at a light when the car in front of us moved out of our lane to make a left turn. In our previous car with AP1, if the car in front of us changed...

    Have Model X's build quality and reliability issues improved over time?

    Our MX was delivered to us two weeks ago today. Three days after delivery, we headed out to the SW. we have 3,000 plus miles on the clock with no issues, no breakdowns and not home yet. We have been surprised at the number of Xs versus Ss we have seen on this trip. We were at theSC in Tooele...

    HomeLink stopped working - is this widespread?

    We have 17.38 and took delivery on 9/26. Yesterday, mid afternoon, we stopped at the Santa Fe SC for electrons and went for a walk while charging. When I tried to use the Tesla AP to check the SOC, it showed that the car was charging at 5 m/hour with no other information. I walked back to...

    Supercharger - Flagstaff, AZ

    On our trip through the SW, we rolled into Flagstaff today for lunch and electrons. The Tesla "Navigator" took us into downtown FS to Humphry and the Marriott Hotel for Superchargers that are not there. Anyone else get directed to this phantom SC? Teslarati finally directed us to the proper...
