    Tesla Covering Some MCU1 Issues for Some Owners

    I too upgraded because the choices were $1500 for MCU1 or $2500 for MCU2. No one mentioned the $320.00. They definitely did not mention that i would loose the FM tuner. I would have stuck with my FM tuner and an extra $2180.00.

    Group Buy from Tesla Offer

    I agree this is misleading. The OP mentions "the group at Tesla Offer", to make you think the group is at Telsa, He should have said "The group at TeslaOffer".

    Driver seat opens on its own when parked

    We recently spilled water on the keyfob. When we got back to the car, it cause the left rear door to go up and down non-stop for a while. Could not drive the car until it sort of dried, then we figured it out. I have also had instances when one of the fobs drops under the seats and get lost...

    Model X 20" Sonic Carbon Wheels

    Our first model-X had the 20" Sonic Carbon Wheels. Now my wife wants them for her current model X- for mother's day. Is it just a matter of powder coating the silver wheels with the glossy paint? Should i trust the coating? does it look good and does it last? You can find these wheels on...

    Review: '17 MX P vs. '20 MX P vs. '20 MY P-

    Can anyone comment on Model X front tire rapid wear? Our 2020 is just over 1 year old with 18k and already the front tires look almost bald. Using 20 inch, staggered. The rear tires look like they have more thread and can last another year. I am used to my 2015 model S90D needing new tires...

    Model X interior quality step down/Cost reduction. Why?

    @mswlogo, I hope you right on everything. I will double check the audio. In the 2017, from the moment you played the music you felt like you are sitting next to a band, you heard everything, you were delighted with the sound. This one, not so much. I bet they stepped down the quality of...

    Model X interior quality step down/Cost reduction. Why?

    I am disappointed with all the cost saving on the inside. The wood trim is cheap looking. It is thinner and cheaper. Made of small strips of oak that were glued together. You can see the straight lines where you expect wood grain. The alcantara on the dash is gone. The fake leather on the...

    Cream Interior Headliner... Is it black or is it cream?

    That is the case with our 2020 with the cream interior. I also must say that i am disappointed with all the cost saving on the inside. The wood trim is cheap looking. It is thinner and cheaper. Made of small strips of oak that were glued together. You can see the straight lines where you...

    2019 Model X Long Range 100D with Autopilot 3 and Full Self-Driving options already activated

    Fatal autopilot crash, NHTSA investigating...

    Fatal autopilot crash, NHTSA investigating...

    We must all keep in mind that drivers of other cars do not know or expect that our car is being driven by AutoPilot. It is likely the driver of the truck assumed that the Tesla would surely see him and slow down. I hope they don't pass a legislation making us carry a bumper sticker that says...

    No hatch-back on model 3 - Anyone else disappointed.

    I think a hatchback is very nice. Love having it on the S. Anyone else disappointed? Would you like to have it back? I know that the glass roof reaches all the way back but why? who cares. Having a frunk does not make up for the versatility of a hatchback.

    Adding a second charger for 80A charging - dual charger - how helpful is Tesla

    My first car, 2012 S85 had a dual charger and i had installed an HPWC. I liked it and i enjoyed the quick charges even though I did not have too many times when i actually needed to charge very quick. My new one, 2015 S90D, i bought it from a showroom, love it but it has a single charger. A...

    Cup holders without clinchers, have you found a replacement

    My early S85 came with spring loaded clinchers which hold the cup inside holder. It got wrecked so I bought a new S90D. No clinchers. I drive with a 20 oz water bottle in holders, it wobbles and drops all over the place. The S85 had carpet on the console floor, i used to squeeze a water...

    Dayton-Albuquerque round trip advice?

    Did you arrange for the hotel to give you a plug? A 120v plug over 10-12 hours will give you 40-50 miles. In the cold weather, this will also keep the battery warm. In cases when you a desperate for a charge (you may not be), the 120v-20A adapter may make 10 miles difference overnight when...

    Auto Homelink issues?

    When you get in the car, the Homelink menu appears but the "Skip" option is not shown. That is when you should open the garage door. You then proceed to put the car in D/R, the Skip option should appear. Don't touch it, drive away and the garage door will close behind you. If you touch...

    Auto Homelink issues?

    I don't believe that GPS is involved. It knows you are home because you pulled into the garage at an earlier time. Said another way, Auto-open took place so, you are home. This info is saved. RichardL, you will not see the "Skip" button until after you put the car in D or R. As...

    Auto Homelink issues?

    Update: I just tried to manually open the door before I enter the car and that fixed it. I left the garrage and the door auto-closed behind me. I then re-entered the garrage and closed the door with the touchscreen. I tried opening the door with my phone app (from inside the car), and that...

    high pitched whine from front motor 85 d

    No motor should whine like that. If a high end ICE car can completely muffle the sound of a large engine why couldn't Tesla do the same for a motor. The fact is, for three years now, (I had a 2012, S85), I have felt that the front Firewall did not Muffle sound very well. People standing...

    high pitched whine from front motor 85 d

    Does anyone hear the whistle at low speeds less than 5 MPH. I hear it during creep. I hear it on acceleration and deceleration. It even oscillates. I hear it at high speeds too. It is getting annoying. I have a one month old 90D with about 2k Miles on it.

    Unlucky parking lot encounter captured on dashcam

    I too am amazed. I had a minor dent in the rear gate. They replaced the entire back end of the car. They said that even though it is not visible, some beam inside the trunk was bent and Tesla would not let them just bend it back. I think they were learning at my expense. The cost was 22k...

    What's a better buy, P85D with $20k miles or a new S90D

    Thanks guys. The performance of the 90D is good enough for me. I've been driving an s85 for 3 years now and that has been great.

    How old are oldest Roadsters and how much battery capacity loss in % they experience

    Thanks guys for the links. I was looking for a generalization. I was interested in the roadster because of the number of years they have been out. I am also trying to figure out whether time has a greater effect on the battery than mileage (or charge cycles).

    Installed two new Michellin primacy mxm4 GREEN on the back - now car unstable

    I just installed two new mxm4 on the rear. First ride after picking up the car it felt unstable and a bit scary above 75mph. Even when going straight. Changing lanes or taking curves at high speed requires two hands on the wheel. It has been two days now and i still think car is unstable...

    My new rear seat console

    Worth it. The $280 is worth it. You will live in this car for a few years. Think about how many times the color mismatch would have bugged you and prevented you from feeling comfortable. Spread the 280 over 10 years and it will be nothing.
