    Windshield wipers button do not work in long trips

    It does sound like you may have encountered an issue where some sort of software code pile up develops over hours of use. This is clearly a rare situation as 99% of drivers do not drive 8hr trips almost ever, if ever. So it may not be addressed anytime soon. In the meantime, to minimize your...

    Car & Driver: The Mach E is simply better than the Model Y

    In terms of actual chips and software, other manufacturers are *literally* in the early 2000s. There is no comparison. Now introduce Tesla’s first principles approach to EVERYTHING, including its diecasting approach to simplifying mass production, and you see that the rest of the industry is...

    Refreshed 2021/2022 Model X Owners Thread

    My FWD are quiet and quick. I subjectively feel they are at least as quiet and quick as a pre refresh I had rented on Turo.

    Model X Refresh Front Door Closing More Difficult

    I mean not EVERYBODY is a TOTAL loser… I’ve been quite impressed with quality of some of my Tesla techs.

    Model X Refresh Front Door Closing More Difficult

    That’s interesting about pre Refresh doors opening six inches if they needed to, in order to have enough force to close. I anticipate Tesla will update the Refresh software to include that.

    Windshield wipers button do not work in long trips

    Try rebooting your Tesla when this happens while driving. It’s safe: it doesn’t reboot the driving computer. Press and hold the two wheels on your yoke / steering wheel for about thirty seconds. The screen(s) will go black for a minute and then the Tesla logo will appear a minute later and then...

    In Home Wheel Balancing – the Ultimate Tesla Accessory for the Have Everything Do-It-Yourselfer?

    Caveat emptor, not all dehumidifiers have hose attachments. This is what I use FWIW. https://a.co/d/aEmYpt3

    In Home Wheel Balancing – the Ultimate Tesla Accessory for the Have Everything Do-It-Yourselfer?

    Put a dehumidifier in your garage and run the hose outside for 24-7 bone dry garage (except for when it’s open but overall it’ll be much better for your equipment).

    If you haven’t received your model X yet I would think it’ll be coming with the upgraded screen. 🧐

    Tesla T is gone? What the… ? I am proud of my Tesla T. Round steering wheels are not my thing but I realize some people cannot tolerate change or sincerely (IMO mistakenly) think the round wheel is important. YMMV on that I guess. ✌️

    Cybertruck waiting room. Edit: oh and btw if you’re waiting for your X, get FSD. It’s incredible (I didn’t say perfect). And plaid if you want punch.

    It ought to sense the car/wall/whatever next to you and not open fully. My X has always pleased me by opening the door a safe amount.

    No need to crack it. Sell it OEM aftermarket. somebody needs it for sure

    Service center isn’t going to fix a part that isn’t broken. But you might be able to order the part from Tesla.

    I would generally ONLY trust Tesla service unless I went with a shop like the electrified garage Electrified Garage But this is my vaguely formed opinion and others may have more nuanced views.

    Have any of you received this awesome update? https://www.notateslaapp.com/software-updates/version/2022.44.25.1/release-notes Specifically anybody with FSD? Both our cars (X & Y) have FSD and neither have received the update but my brother who doesn’t have FSD *did* get the update. 😣😭 I love...

    Yeah if it has been raining hard and then later I go out to the X, if I open the FWDs, sometimes (not always) a little stream of water gushes right down onto the middle row seats. I could bring this up to service but it’s only every so often and it hasn’t been leaking while closed so I kinda...

    Model X Road Trips

    They will check the alignment for the cost of an alignment check, lol. I did get mine checked right away and there was a very small adjustment needed.

    Model X Road Trips

    Nah man it’s fine but you know when you get a new car and are going to drive it a bunch you might wanna check the alignment just in case it got a bit out of alignment during transit. And panels are usually no issue nowadays. Tesla has come a long way.

    I didn’t know Germany is left side drive! (Ok I just got educated lol apparently most countries are like the US in this aspect) I thought all of Europe was right hand side steering wheel lol never mind I’ll go back to my cave now lol 😆

    That’s a good point. I do really like how mine fold down (just got the Tesmanian seat backing and floor mats).

    Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

    Interesting. Maybe subjective but I was bummed about the new charge port and liked the old style, until I began to live with the new style (ie when I got my X). Now the old style looks dated and I love the new style haha but true

    Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

    Here’s your occasional reminders 1) it is ABSURDLY BEYOND WORTH waiting for your model X 2) get FSD. It is totally awesome (yes still occasionally not perfect). And 3) if you don’t need seven seats and you want real performance you DEFINITELY should get a plaid (money aside). The LR is powerful...

    How do we get a part? Can we pay to have service install, or would this be DIY only?

    Could be a roll-out in progress. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Personally, I want to find out how much it’ll cost to get the screen replaced because the new screen is a substantial improvement.

    Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

    Tesla makes hardware changes constantly because they constantly iterate, not by model year. At least it sounds like this is a drop in replacement so I’m hoping to get mine done! 😊 https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/7231244/

    Guide To A Perfect Safety Score for the FSD Beta Queue, or Tesla Insurance reasons. (Whether you like it or not)

    Can you now get the safety score if you have FSD beta (previously if you got the beta you lost safety score)?

    Wait so I just learned something. Bug report by a hidden menu long press of the car icon?
  41. K

    Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

    Not necessarily. It could have been financing fell through & it’s a perfect car. Pretty decent chance of that, I’d guess.

    Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

    My thought would be, wait until the last minute before you go on vacation, to place any hold. You might get delivery before you leave (unless you’ve already placed your order on hold).

    And I should have said “sometimes” people can be convinced. Some people smoke until they die of COPD. Freedom has to mean freedom to be dumb.

    Lex Friedman (inadvertently?) interviewed EV hater

    That’s a truism though. The question was how, not what needs to be done. To err is human; to forgive (or, in modern lingo “tolerate/work with“) divine (or in modern lingo, “aid human progress”)
