Has anyone in Australia got specific recommendations for a boot map for a 6 seat model X. Particularly anyone who also has a large dog :) There are a bunch of overseas suppliers, but a. They are overseas, and b. They don’t seem to cater for the 6 seat model X ..

yes it is or at least it was. I purchased it in feb 2021. allianz was the underwriter. 4 years $7k. I went through the same scenario as you @Hairyman, couldn‘t get Tesla to do a proper end of warranty inspection so just ended up going with the extended warranty (was actually recommended by a...

Looks like the mazda red. (Maxda really nailed that)

I’m about to cancel my model X order and just get my meagre deposit back. Kind of ridiculous really

@Hairyman have you considered buying the extended warranty?

I ordered in 2021.. no comms to me since about november 2021 when they removed the November 2022 delivery estimate

Fixed the problem. Total repair cost $4.80. Happy Days

More price cuts.. why don’t they just swap to building RHD cars and fulfill the order bank in countries like Australia

2016 modelX, and yes USB3.0 is backward compatible

Cheers @doggy1 and @cafz new breaker on order

Rather than start another thread, could I ask the electrically knowledgable people who chimed in on this issue to comment on mine? Scenario: Circuit breaker trips some of the time midway through charging. Issue can often also be reproduced immediately by changing the charging percentage (ie via...

Up for yet another set of tyres for my Model X. Car originally came with Michelin latitude Sport 3, and the last 4 times have just replaced with the same, but thought it might be time to ask if any forum members have had good results with any other tyre or brand. Have been very happy with the...

I find it curious that prices are being reduced so significantly to stimulate demand in Europe and the US when over here there are people waiting to take delivery of cars that they ordered 2 years ago

Where oh where are the X’s…. like others with orders for well over a year .. now looking at changing our plans. imagine how much money the company could have made.

This happens on my X with actual keys. Enter car with my key and its about 50/50 whether I get my profile or my wife’s. Will be really interested if anyone chimes in with a reason or a fix

Ah ok, does assume that passengers have the app. But this makes more sense

Main screen of the app, you cant miss it

2022.36.2 just arrived. I am a little perplexed at the “enhancement” that allows me to access the audio controls of the car remotely from the app. What is the use case that got the development of this feature approved? I joked that I could pause the podcast my wife was listening to before I...

>6 years now with a white seated model X. 2 kids 2 large dogs Seats are still white. Don’t notice any change to the stitching. Someone posted a while back that white seats may stay cleaner because when you see a mark on it you tend to wipe it straight off whereas black you never see the mark so...

+1 is there a Model X on the road in Australia without the n/s rear wheel scuffed?

Would also explain the increase in Model Xs. 8 weeks or so ago there were 9 on carsales, now 42.

I just took the car for a drive and even my wife who is the tesla’s harshest critic was pleasantly surprised. I think they have spent a bit of time getting this right. There is a fractional delay, so if you are quick off the mark there is no sound, if you do delay the sound is very subtle, just...

20.5. Chime when the traffic light you are waiting for turns green. I’d put this in the useful column.. Plus the ability to change the colour of your car on the dash. The people that did the fart app have obviously been redeployed.

Yep. Same in our household.

Good to know, thanks for that. It is hard to compare insurers if you have no feedback from the actual claims process

if this is your first tesla welcome to the worst part of the ownership experience. After 8 years of ownership insurance renewal is still the most problematic aspect. Despite no demerits, no claims etc. Premiums vary wildly. Sometimes insurers just stop wanting to insure teslas. NSW based, but...

Last year.. nov or dec

Is the warning a new feature? Do you know how much time between warning and failure? I have had 2 fail and both times no warning and car was undriveable.

+1 I find EAP just not quite right. Yes it overtakes slower cars, and yes it moves back into the left lane when done etc but each time you have to acknowledge the manoeuvre, and it does not look as far ahead as a human so you end up doing more work with the acknowledgements than if you just...

I can see my X order in the app…

Model X on order .. to replace a 6 year old Model X .. Ordered December 2021 with a delivery date of 4Q22. Delivery date no longer quoted so who knows.

@MickK I should have clarified a bit. I had format errors, and the drive would fail a day or two after formatting when I used a cheaper USB2.0 micro->USB A adaptor. Using this one Sandisk adaptor and the samsung endurance pro micro SD card has meant my dashcam has now been working for a month...

I use a high performance micro SD card (I picked one that was recommended for BlackVue dashcams) and a sandisk microSD-> USB adaptor. It took me a couple of goes to get the right adaptor. (The jaycar ones don’t work) I just don’t think USB drives are engineered the same as micro SD as no one...

Thank you @FlatSix911 .. that article did not come up when I searched! The positive is that demand is outstripping supply. But that does mean a long time in the Australian market (like the EU) where there have been no new cars to sell. More time for other manufacturers to catch up. China...

Received the following from tesla overnight regarding my Model X order. Was scheduled for Nov 2022, now..who knows? Presumably more information on what the core supply issue is will surface shortly Hi We’re contacting you regarding your Model X order RNXXXX As we ramp...

A much better answer than mine

Or use the app .. or set dog mode .. so many ways

My vote is number 3. I always do all 4 on all my cars. Unless of course you get an unrepairable puncture early in a tyres life.. but at 50% I would replace all 4. Particularly on a heavy car like the Tesla, and if you don’t you will just shortly be in to the tyre place for the other two..

I did my X through Macquarie for one reason only .. they had a guaranteed buy back at the end. That was back in 2016 and the longevity of the car was unknown. Right now money is cheap, so if I was buying now I would lease again. No complaints with Mac, easy straightforward process. I ended up...

its all a bit strange. in the absence of a response from the OP, I agree with @meloccom ’s position of locking this thread.

Has happened a couple of times to me in the last month. let me know what tesla service says!

Yes 4 years on top of the original 4. I was offered 2 years/120,000km or 4 years/160,000.. I took the 4 year option

I took out the Marsh/Tesla extended warranty on my MX. 7k for 4 years. 4 weeks later car needed 4k worth of repairs. All carried out without a hint of argument under the extended warranty. The benefit of the Marsh warranty is it is effectively with Tesla, so no concept of claiming back the cost...

Tesla extended warranty is still a good option...

I’d recommend you pay the 2k and get the MCU2 upgrade. Well worth it as other forum members will also attest..

Yes, as the OP I probably should chime in here. No issues any more since MCU2 upgrade

2021.4.12 Now successful. ”cold weather improvements and bug fixes”

I needed to do this last month, but couldn’t find a way of messaging them through the app without first creating an appointment. My query was with a previous service, but once the service is completed the chat channel associated with that appointment is closed. I had to create a new appointment...

Just got notified of 2021.4.12 install failed. Received new message saying “wait for new update to be pushed to your car” :(

Ben and Kat are terrific. Carl should not be on the front line.
