Yes. And the horn stutters in a very attention grabbing way. works ok for me. I have same problem. Had the problem on delivery day and documented on delivery, and then submitted a ticket. On the first service visit the estimate said that they would replace the computer to fix this (was an odd...

I enjoy reading @BMW740iL the same way I enjoyed reading and interacting with various TSLAQ crowd on twitter (and the occasional Tesla haters here) — watching and often goading them to confirm their bias, post red herrings, be confronted with facts evidence and logic that caused them to turn...

Any update on this charger? Looking to use it soon.

I found a temporary fix — you just need to think of it as the car is purring, like a contented cat. And feathering the accel pedal between 35 and 45 is like petting it under its chin. My X Plaid now has it too, very mild.

Passing Macs in the Plaid is a personal hobby..

I think some do and some don’t. The early ones did not and that’s the one I have. it sucks. dead pedal area isn’t protected from dirt slush and wear. makes the mat useless and need to buy new ones that cover the dead pedal. I think the ones on Tesla website now seem to show coverage of the dead...

A few data points from Car and driver. Tested: 2021 Tesla Model S Plaid Is Absurdly Quick but Also Has a Few Key Flaws

I agree and will add that people should just give the yoke time. They may find that it is fine and perhaps they even prefer it. Many people who were attached to the keyboard in their blackberry were violently against a flat screen. They nearly all later found out that they didn’t need a key...

Update. I recant in full. The yoke is fine and i even prefer it. It just took a while to get used to it and now the ability to push on the corners, levering the wheel around, seems easier for most driving situations..

It can you just need practice to figure it out and you can pass from hand-to-hand on those occasions when you are turning the wheel more. Or or sometimes especially when parking you might find it convenient to just Palm the whole wheel at the corner This was exactly my big complaint when I was...

Why ever would you want to?

No warranty is fine except for whatever you might screw up in changing the yoke. But I recommend give yourself more than 9 days to get used to it and see the benefits. It's especially helpful if you can exclusively drive the yoke for a few weeks or few months, and then try a wheel and you will...

The analogies were carefully chosen. People who claim to not like coffee, or EVs, or now the yoke, just need to be more open in their lives and try new things and give them a chance. Apple didn't give in to early complaints and offer a blackberry keyboard option and they did ok

I think it depends on on whether the door thinks it has enough clearance which might include whether you are standing well away from the door.

Shrug.. I got used to coffee too and now I like it. I didn't like coffee at first. Some people will never think that coffee is good. Some people will never think the yoke is good. Some people will never think that EVs are good..

good video of lightning on car violence

Is this just a way to prioritize delivery to waitlist people who will pay addl 35/mo and give them slower speeds in waitlist areas?

Interesting suggestion. probably correct as to BI — less likely both as to intent and success if attempted against LATimes and NYT. You might recall Tesla’s legally unsuccessful lawsuit against TopGear in the UK. The UK doesn’t have anything like a first amendment and Tesla had pretty good...

Here is the bulletin

Get new fobs

This might be relevant

datapoint: When I first got my refreshed S with yoke after a couple days I was quite convinced that I would replace the yoke with a wheel asap. Then after a few weeks I got used to it. Now we also have a refreshed X and all are happy with the yoke. going back to the old S and 3 with a wheel...

thanks. edit made. shld be an edit button on the bottom— might not be available to newish members

Almost 3 years later and I still have this P85DL+ but am not using it much at all (mostly on nice days when I want a sunroof) and have too many Teslas. The info above is all still true (super clean, no accidents, original non-smoking owner) except mileage is now 87k and Teslafi reports full...

datapoint: my refresh Model S that exhibited the same dyno-mode error assortment after backing up after supercharging also had the left camera view blocked on dark rural roads too. The S only has 12.3.2 so still waiting for update. My refresh X has 12.3.3 and never exhibited either problem...

Mine aren’t pairing either — I’ll look for the link with the magic spells and incantations to get them to pair. For the missing Mobile connector, add it as a service item to log that you didn’t get it for your pre-April 17 order and they should give you one when they get them.

Pasted from an MPP email. Speaking of racing, the TeamPGR guys just finished the One Lap Of America event – a week-long, 3500-mile endurance racing event where you spend every waking minute either racing or driving between racetracks across the eastern USA. If you’ve been following our previous...

Yep. You can imagine my delight when literally the next day after I take delivery of the Plaid X I’m on the highway (umm in Mexico) and I come across, no kidding, I have teslacam video - a McClaren 720s, a Ferrari and a Lambo, probably all going to cars and coffee thing on a weekend morning . ...

My 2014 Pearl white has been through regular modern brush car washes hundreds of times and it is fine.

Hmm. I see your point. The test results are for a page labeled 2022 Model X , and it no where says P90D, but the notes at end do refer to max power etx. In addition to the labeling on the page I thought it was right because the 2022 Model S LR is faster than earlier model s performance, so...

That's the additional savings each year, not the quote. So for the risk of an additional 4k exposure on deductible I 100% save 1200 each year.

Sorry "sleeper" is a fast car that doesn't look like a fast car. It always annoyed me that the performance Model S had to have the spoiler and red calipers that clearly indicate performance version. With the Plaid, the red calipers are thankfully gone, and with the X there is no external...

I went back to A Better Route Planner and you are right -- I had ABRP set up wrong -- it was thinking that my old P85DL was new X Plaid. I still don't have it setup perfectly to use my actual car data for the S plaid and X plaid, but just using their generic car info it should only be about 20...

Car and driver found it faster. Tesla marketing desires to show a difference between Plaid and nonPlaid. So non Plaid doesn't get the 1 foot rollout and other shenanigans probably. Better to use actual testing in magazines or on Dragy. Also 0-60 is less meaningful metric and now more a function...

I now have refreshed versions of both and am greatly preferring the X: 1. autopresent and close doors are oddly delightful 2. better entry and exit and seating position for all 3. back seat better for v young kids and very elderly passengers 4. ability to tow a small trailor around for trip to...

What is your source? Car and driver reports the following: 0-60 1/4 mile 0-100 30-50 50-70 Model X LR 3.3 11.8 8.3 1.3 2.1 Audi SQ7 3.5 12.0 9.1 2.6 3.0 BMW X6 M 3.6 12.0 9.0 Lambo Urus 3.2 11.4 7.6 2.4 3.2 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S E-hybrid 3.2 11.5 7.8 1.9 2.3 Model X plaid...

I’ve found in some cases the doors default to not opening fully even when they easily could, so you have to override and force them open. I haven’t yet seen if it remembers consistently to always open fully, or not in the right places all the time. I can see it being a hassle for some. Better...

wow! very informative and helpful. one of the product choices was quite the surprise, especially confusing when the i later saw the reclining position pics. but diversity is good! Darn good first (or second?) post.

Right. Perhaps as more supply comes online tesla can stop raising prices, but hard to see them lowering prices like they did a few years ago.

As I mentioned earlier I have a refresh Model S that exhibited the frozen screens and various error msgs, including dyno-mode while driving on a road trip with blind spot cameras on, triggered by backing up from a supercharger. It did that twice, and each time easily resolved with a two wheel...

1. My steering vibration :The Model X has low setting and I leave it there for all driving. I put it in very low a few times and seems to come back to Low. I haven't done a full launch from a stop at all, but have done some spirited highway testing but it would have been from at least 40 or so...

From what you know (sic), is there any difference from these specific ES from a non-ES version? Sometimes ES can be different, and sometimes it isn’t and instead its just a way to produce while waiting for the expected certification. Even a TSLAQ person on twitter points out that this is no...

It looks like Tesla insurance in Virginia for 3 Teslas was cheaper than exactly equal coverage from USAA — by about $50 month / 600 year. At least based on the default 90 safety score. An advantage of Tesla insurance though is that you can increase the deductible to $5k (USAA max is only $1k)...

April 22 produced plaid X delivered. My observations: 1. the drivers seat leather is puckered at the top. I normally don't care about stuff like that, and normally wouldn't notice but people on here complain about it a lot, and now it bugs me :( 2. during the delivery the pax FWD door wouldn't...

The Flagship car wash place has locations all over DMV and you can get unlimited car washes at all the locations for ~$30/month. They put a little bar code over your VA inspection sticker and you just drive under a sensor and go through. Have to make sure you know how to put your in neutral.

Was there any interesting info in the video?

The Model S suspension was totally redone for 2021+ refresh. I hope similar was done for the model x but I haven't seen it confirmed.

Winter tire options are pretty good, including Blizzak and X-ICE And these winter performance options: And some Michelin Crossclimate Severe Snow rated all seasons

Thread for useful information and informative discussion of tires and wheels for the 2021.5 refreshed Model X. The OEM wheel options for LR and Plaid are: � # Part Name Part Number Sales Restriction 1 WHEEL,20X9J ET40,CYBERSTREAM,GUNPOWDER, FRONT 1244221-01-B Over-the-Counter(No VIN) 2...

What's the most OEM looking wheel design and color? While I want a lighter weight wheel and something to use when switching the summer and winter tires, I don't want an aftermarket look at all, but need to be as OEM looking (just generally, not copying any actual OEM wheel) so as to not attract...
