    Trickle charge 12V battery to stop vampire drain?

    4.5 miles a day in phantom drain is still a lot of power lost esp when I drive about 20 to 30 miles a day.

    Model X 7 Seat alternative Mercedes Benz EQS SUV

    The best things in life are worth waiting for. Can’t see myself in anything but an EV. Can’t choose an EV without being a Tesla. Love all Tesla models but the Model X is exceptional 🤗. Since you would keep it for several years, it’s worth the wait but I suspect they will deliver sooner than the EDD.

    30 hour wait for recovery. Lessons learnt.

    I had my 12v battery recently replaced in my MX, but did you know that after getting a new one by Tesla Mobile that it still wouldn’t start? It turns out a 10amp fuse costing less than $1 had also blown, which Tesla Mobile diagnosed and changed.

    Is vampire drain still a thing?

    If you charge to 90% then reduce the charge slider to 70%, the car may actually be periodically waking up to check & maintain this “set” charge level… Better to charge it to 90% but NOT plug in the charger, so that the car knows that it doesn’t need to periodically wake up to check & maintain...

    Tesla Battery and Nickel Allergy

    Thanks guys for your posts. I will look to getting an allergy test in the future, sometime. FYI, I have done the following test… Instead of running the AC at 1 (has less noise & drain on battery, the air flow is also just right for me), I tried using the AC at 4 or 5 setting. The result: more...

    Hansshow Model Y Power Frunk V4.2 (maybe 4.3?) - does anyone know how to program it?

    Be careful when using the larger than Tesla OEM struts as the rubber seal is rubbed on and will deteriorate within a week of use.

    My 18 year old gets sinusitis, runny and blocked nose, after a few minutes sitting inside our much loved 2019 Model X. A trip more than an hour becomes unbearable as this can lead to a mild headache also. The symptoms appear to lessen with Bioweapon Defence Mode (the Air Conditioner setting)...

    My solution for increasing HVAC effectiveness when for solo (and pass)

    I rarely need to use the aircon, and when I do, it it rarely goes above 22 degrees celcius with the fan at 1. In fact, my biggest gripe is that I have to manually turn off the aircon each time the car restarts, even after it was turned off before.

    Game console or keyboard or mouse for Model X

    Has anyone successful used a game console, keyboard, or mouse that would allow the rear seat passengers (kids) to control the games in Model X/S/3 using either a USB or Bluetooth device? For example, I remember playing games such as Asteroids (about 30yrs ago), using the keyboard letters and...

    Shudder when autopilot brakes

    No reduction in the shudder. All the programer needs to do is when the car is at crawling speed, eg. less than 3km per hour when the car is creeping forwards at an intersection, allow the car to come to a stop by its own, like when AP is off. Just upgraded to v2019.20.4.3 ... which appears to...

    Squeaky sound under the single seat in the second row of three seats, in a 7 seater Model X

    Got my Model X back yesterday after 2nd attempt of fixing the squeaking sound. A technician said they took the seat apart and reassembled it, checking all screws and added lubricants. Works beautifully now. Thanks SC in St Leonards!

    Shudder when autopilot brakes

    I turned off Automatic Emergency Braking and Obstacle-Aware Acceleration but this shudder still persists. I will see if turning off the Forward Collision Warning helps... will post update later. By the way, I am on v9.0 (2019.20.4.2 66625e9)

    Shudder when autopilot brakes

    The SC told me today that’s “just the way it is and hopefully a future firmware would fix it”. . . Pity, as the car slows down beautifully under Traffic Aware Cruise Control (AP) when the car in front slows down to a complete stop. This shudder happens when TACC in AP is active and IMMEDIATELY...

    Enhanced Summon, where are you?

    I got this message on my account during my 60 day trial period after taking delivery of my MX100D... $4300 for AP, or $15700 for EAP. Not sure its an error as the current Tesla website states that the Summon is not ready until later this yr.
