    Reuters: "Tesla readies revamped Model 3 with project 'Highland' -sources" [projected 3rd quarter 2023]

    I take it you don’t own a MX? On mobile and can’t see signatures. There are many things that make these doors better than regular rear doors. You not liking the looks or design does not equate to not being a beneficial design.

    How many of you will/may transition to CyberTruck?

    I'll trade in my 6-seater MX on a CT if they offer it in 6 seats, like was originally planned. The most recent pictures show it in a 5 seat configuration so not sure if 6 will be an option. I don't think it's any more ugly than a CRV or a Rav4, and I see those everywhere. It's just a different...

    BMW folks comments on Tesla

    Your picture reminds me how much I do not miss my GLS. What you consider the best driver controllability looks dated and gaudy to me. I prefer my scroll wheels and voice commands. I would rather have to say something twice than interact with that hot mess of a steering wheel. But hey, to each...

    FWD sensor thinks there is an obstacle (when parked I the sun)

    SC claims that some of the older sensors used to bounce signals off of the heat waves generated by darker cars. They have replaced all of my sensors and I still get this sometimes so ymmv.

    Subwoofer rattle

    Would you mind sharing the parts they replaced? My out of warranty MX started doing this same thing.

    typical long distance range 2016 Tesla Model X P90D ?

    My MX P90D can go 200 miles at 75 mph on the highway. That’s 100-2%, but it can do it consistently. I have another post somewhere where I include pictures of my Teslafi stats.

    BMW folks comments on Tesla

    It’s not a zero sum game. What is unusable to one person can be wonderful to another. Lots of people road trip tens of thousands of miles in Teslas and love it, others couldn’t imagine doing that without massaging seats. Some people thing Tesla service is wonderful while others think it’s the...

    BMW folks comments on Tesla

    Thanks for your detailed response @CTruck_BMW . Adding my opinions. I had this on a BMW and MB. It was rarely used and not sure that it improved my driving experience. I definitely don't miss it, but understand that it could be important to you. My kids all have their own ipads and...

    BMW folks comments on Tesla

    Don't forget to include the nightmare that is Tesla service. I would pay an additional fee on top of my Tesla's sale price if Mercedes could service it. I can't stand arguing with someone through an app only to have them close out the service appointment because they can't duplicate in 10...

    BMW folks comments on Tesla

    I switched from a MB GLS to a Model X several years ago and haven't looked back. I had 4 kids at the time and now have 5. Everyone has their own suitcase when we travel and there is plenty of cargo room for long road trips. The charger stops are usually welcome breaks. What keeps you in your ICE?

    CyberTruck (CT) waiting room

    Five seats would be a deal breaker for me. I placed my order on the night of the unveiling as soon as the website was up, and it's pretty much been nothing but disappointment since then.

    2016 Model X P90DL for sale

    Interesting. There are some posts on here about that battery, seems like a newer version of the 90. It's only 350v vs. 400v on the older packs like mine, but I'm not sure what that impacts if anything.
  14. snorp

    2016 Model X P90DL for sale

    Look under the vehicle at the frame behind the front passenger wheel and there will be a battery sticker, like the one shown in my post above. You can google the battery code to get additional details. Mine had 250 miles range when new, so it sounds like you have an even newer version that I am...

    Dilemma: bought both wall charger and mobile charger...

    My neighbor ran his own 240v Romex and had the electrician make the connections at both ends. Saved himself quite a bit of money. The local inspector signed off on it fwiw.

    2016 Model X P90DL for sale

    I did not sell mine as I intend to keep it for the long term. Your post caused me to go see what these are being listed at now, and it appears that the used prices have taken quite a hit. These are great vehicles if you can find one with a decently documented repair history, v3 battery...

    Limiting repairs at the service center?

    It’s not a one time event. Dealing with Kennesaw is always extremely painful in my experience. It’s almost as if they prefer unhappy customers, and go out of their way to ensure that’s what they get.

    Upgrades/Changes from 2017 P90D X to 2020 Long Range Plus X

    Below is data showing charges for the 2020 at a 250 vs. a 150. Roughly same amount added within the same time period. Different starting and ending state of charges, so that is to be taken into consideration.

    Thoughts on adding additional support to a bike rack to overcome the 120 lbs weight limit?

    They never touch the X, but they rattle amongst themselves if you don’t use some straps to keep the handlebars from moving. I use a stretchy strap thing strung through and around the handlebars to keep everything secure. You can always return it pretty easily if you don’t like it.

    Thoughts on adding additional support to a bike rack to overcome the 120 lbs weight limit?

    This is what I use. 22lbs, holds 4 bikes, keeps me under/at the 120lb limit. Plus I have never had a problem backing in to superchargers as I can get close enough to the signs for the cord to reach...

    Model X interior space thoughts, from a Model Y parent of 2 kids

    We had an R class prior to a GL, then GLS. My wife liked the 2nd row captain’s chairs with 4 small children. It was easy to get in and out. Not a lot of storage space though. The GL didn’t offer captain’s chairs back then, the 3rd row kids usually jumped over the middle seat rather than...

    Model X interior space thoughts, from a Model Y parent of 2 kids

    We have 5 kids, and the 7-seater X works well for us on road trips. Rear facing carseat goes in the middle of the second row so both front seats can move back just a tad further. No LATCH in the middle, but we use the seatbelt to secure the base and the front seats touch the carseat on both...

    No more Uber Credits or loaners after warranty expiration

    I agree that the mobile techs are fantastic. Too bad Tesla has greatly reduced their use. Now there are only very limited things that mobile techs are allowed to do. I would pay a premium to not have to go to a service center.

    Upgrades/Changes from 2017 P90D X to 2020 Long Range Plus X

    I haven't supercharged a lot in the 2020, but it is definitely faster than my 2016. Agree that I'm not seeing anywhere near 250 for any length of time, but the taper must be less severe than in the 2016. The 2016 frequently pulls 150-170 for very short periods of time, so I think the battery...

    Upgrades/Changes from 2017 P90D X to 2020 Long Range Plus X

    I think the turn signal auto cancels after both a partial and full press on the stalk, but I will test it out and get back to you. I know it auto cancels after a partial press because that's what I usually do, and the turn signal stays on until the vehicle has changed lanes. I was not aware...

    Upgrades/Changes from 2017 P90D X to 2020 Long Range Plus X

    I have both vehicles, except my 2016 has AP1. I would say your list looks correct. The 2020 has zero rattles and squeaks. And it is noticeably slower at all speeds. I prefer driving the 2020 bc the suspension is so much better. I have it set to comfort and it's fantastic. The extra range is...

    Tesla TV apps (Netflix etc) frame rate = bad.

    I watched all youtube videos again on my Mac and all 3 look the same to me. Maybe the Tesla spinning stick has more what I would call legs on either side of it? Not enough for me to notice if I was looking for it. I guess my brain post processes the videos differently than yours.

    SF Bay Accident Surveillance Footage

    Using this thought process, one could also claim that if the Tesla was not using any combination of AP/FSD, there would not have been an accident.

    Tesla TV apps (Netflix etc) frame rate = bad.

    I’ve watched the test videos at least a dozen times and don’t see a difference. I’ll look at it again on my Mac tomorrow. I believe you that there is a problem, but I find it interesting that I can’t perceive it.
  30. snorp

    Tesla TV apps (Netflix etc) frame rate = bad.

    The sample videos look fine to me, but I’m watching on an iPhone so maybe that has something to do with it. Also, I’m guessing I’m not sensitive to that sort of thing. I’ve never heard of that before. Sounds like you have a superpower.

    NHTSA Probe into Tesla Self Driving moving “fast”

    The driver claimed he was using FSD, and his car does the same thing mine does when using FSD, which is randomly apply the brakes hard for no reason when traveling at highway speeds. No reason to believe that he is lying, and Tesla isn't going to voluntarily validate the driver's claim. I have...

    Bubbles and Goo ModelX Display

    Tesla's customer service is a different story altogether. I agree with you 100% regarding them handling it poorly. I came from 10 years driving Mercedes to Tesla and the difference in the two company's approach to customer service is night and day. Mercedes may gouge you but they won't BS you to...

    Pedestrian Warning Sound now in X? Wait, what?

    I have the same vehicle and almost same experience. Reboot always clears it for me. It started immediately after the MCU2 upgrade. I didn't purchase the radio unit and not sure if that has anything to do with it.
  34. snorp

    Bubbles and Goo ModelX Display

    Even if they did somehow trigger the goo, it's a know issue that happens without warning, so no real way to prove they did it. I would recommend upgrading to MCU2 if the cost is doable. Both of your screens will be replaced in the process.

    Tesla Safety Recall Steering - was charged $3k

    My steering wheel is extremely stiff as well, and I have the latest software. Sometimes I get kicked out of AP for not moving the wheel without ever receiving a warning, and I wonder if it is related. So, maybe you really did have something wrong besides software. Mine is going in at the end...

    TESLA UI / UX

    Fine, I'll be less "lazy" which used in the sentence you wrote is a contradiction in itself, but that is to be expected given the following: "Wondering what owners honestly, objectively think of this?" No, you are setting everyone up so you can go on a rant. "Every part of it is amateurish."...

    Apple Music Question - Have an 2016 with AP1

    Free MX 2020 floor mats - partial set, 2016 black arm rests, white Rub N Restore

    2020 7 seater floor mats, front passenger and 2nd row only. That's what the service center gave me when I picked it up and promised to mail the rest to me. Never happened. They claimed these are new cloth mats but I don't know. 2016 black arm rests that will fit all MXs prior to the refresh...

    Apple Music Question - Have an 2016 with AP1

    My 2016 AP1 MCU2 has it. Lot's of threads out there regarding upgrading to MCU2. The only reason to stay on MCU1 would have to be related to cost. Otherwise it's a no brainer.

    Kennesaw GA SC .... What is going on ? No reply to messages / Phone VM full

    Kennesaw is the absolute worst service center in our area. The people that work there have zero understanding of customer service. In fact, I don't know what I would suggest if asked how I could make that service center worse. I avoid it at all costs and recommend everyone in the area do the...

    Poll: Will hands free driving be a big win for Tesla?

    Reality doesn’t support your comments regarding the speed limit IMO, but I choose to agree to disagree rather than continue down this path. Maybe it’s regional.

    Poll: Will hands free driving be a big win for Tesla?

    I do not interpret her statement that way. After the last comma, she says keep one hand on the wheel and the car should not exceed the speed limit. So even though a person is holding the wheel, the car should not be allowed to exceed the speed limit if a system that provides lateral and...

    Poll: Will hands free driving be a big win for Tesla?

    Missy says that vehicles should not be allowed to exceed the legal speed limit, so I do not trust that she is utilizing any sort of common sense when making her other claims.

    Service centers no longer issuing Uber credits, loaners only if service expected to take longer than 48 hours

    Kennesaw SC is the problem in our region. I avoid it all all costs. Alpharetta/Roswell is great.

    Limiting repairs at the service center?

    Are you communicating with the Kennesaw location? If so, this makes sense. Customer service is not in their top ten priorities. Use the Roswell SC.

    Vendor Premium wireless phone charger for Tesla model S/X

    I still haven't received even a simple email confirming my order status. I'm all for supporting small businesses that care about customer service. Not sure if this falls in that category or not. Please figure this out so I don't have to file a dispute with Amex.
