    Stalk or no stalk argument [not] settled

    I was wondering the same thing about placement a while back. I convinced myself that they were trying to keep turn signals in the left hand like a traditional lever switch. Old dog/new tricks department again: I managed to cancel the cruise on the 2015 GMC today when I went to signal a left...

    Stalk or no stalk argument [not] settled

    You forgot the /s ;);) Anything mechanical is more likely to fail than a touch screen. I had the smart switch (signal, cruise, windshield wiper/washer, high-beam, hazards) replaced on a 2000 GMC 2500 PU a year back. . . $250.00 ( ouch!) The switch was "only" $50.00. . . those stealerships...

    Stalk or no stalk argument [not] settled

    Indeed, to each his own. This “old dog” learned to drive 50 years ago in a “three on the tree” ‘59 Impala, and I’ve owned everything from an 77 MGB to a 2015 GM 2500 pickup. Driven busses and trucks for pay. . . When I picked up my X last January, I waved off any orientation, hopped in and...

    Stalk or no stalk argument [not] settled

    Meh. . . . . . . . . . . . .I I would take anything/everything from WSJ with a grain of salt, although I didn't read the whole paywalled piece. While her death (RIP) is indeed tragic, I ( like many alert/sober drivers I imagine ) find the refresh touch screen and accompaning audio/visual...

    New California Owner of a low mileage 2013 Tesla Model S

    "To church on Sunday's ?" ;) Lucky you indeed! Welcome to TMC!! Years ago I bought a 10 year old pickup with very few miles, but I had to immediately replace the tires because they had set out in the sun too long. (cracked/dried/stiff) P.S. You are posting in the Australia...

    Another Direct Model X vs. Rivian Comparison: My Personal Experience

    Yep, the old "It is difficult to make thechnology foolproof because fools are so ingenious." :) (see also: Darwin Awards) I'm an "old dog", but LOVE my '23 X . . . screen shift, yoke and all! I don't often use the auto features ( direction, walk-away locks, FSD, ...) because I'm a still a bit...

    Colorado Superchargers (location speculation, discussion)

    I still remember my excitement posting 10+ years ago about the GJ superchargers! ( quoted above by @threeputts ) One of the first dozen or two in the US, with the original ( labor Intensive! ) pedestals Sears is gone, and who knows what else . . . I rarely get out to the mall . . . I have...

    Steer by wire, dead battery?

    Even as a firm believer in Murphy's Law, this worry seems a bit like a movie twist. See also: I Imagine Tesla's Department of the Redundancy Department has looked into the steering thing.

    FM Radio Having Issues

    OOF!! ????? My bad. I thought all Model S and Model X cars had at least FM radio . . . some even had AM !!! If you had it at one time, obviously a software update issue/bug. If never, apparently there is a possibility of installing a module/antenna to get Radio Audio. I suppose a module could...

    FM Radio Having Issues

    From any audio app, look for the settings icon (Upper RH corner) In the list TONE/BALANCE/OPTIONS/SOURCES, tap sources. Make sure the Radio slider shows "on" Easy Peasy?? ( P.S. Welcome to TMC! )

    Why do you like your Tesla?

    LOVE my '23 MX, Yoke and all! ❤️ I checked the first 7 boxes. ( Had my last ICE, Oldsmobile Aurora, for 22 years.) HATE my iPhone 14 pro. 🤮 I switched from Android a year ago when I picked up the Tesla. ( 25+ years and 6 different Motorola devices ) Tolerate the iPad. ;) Spend a fair...

    License plates

    Colorado is notoriously S L O W for some reason. Many owners (myself included) report having to purchase a second temporary tag. (60 day) $7.00 if I remember correctly. Mildly annoying, but in the grand scheme of things . . . . . . . . still can't get the smile off of my face a year later :)

    What income to afford a Plaid?

    Another public school teacher here. Just retired after 38 years, but still sub because of course, subs are difficult to find. I hear you on the 6-7 days a week, and other part time jobs! I absolutely can't afford my '23 Model X. I put $$ aside for 10 years and paid for it outright. I had a...

    How To Keep Rear A/C On

    Odd Indeed. I just went out and checked, and you are right, the above DOESN"T work to keep it running. I had the exact opposite situation, in that I usually don't want it to run. Last summer it kept blowing for a few days when I didn't want it to run (no one in the back) so toggling off the auto...

    Is there any way to justify having 2 cars for one person?

    "If your only tool is a hammer, every problem is a nail." It's wise to have a box with many different screwdrivers, pliers, and maybe even more than one type of hammer. I love my X, but I fear I might have a hard time letting go of the 23 year old ICE 1/2 ton when my cybertruck number comes up...

    Supercharger - Gypsum, CO - Public and Service Center Supercharger locations

    I get Tesla's logic on the Gypsum location, but I wish they would have chosen Grand Junction, or maybe Glenwood Springs. Perhaps it would be a bit easier to staff as well as a catalyst for EV adoption over here in the sticks of the Western Slope. I would echo @JamesEarl15 on the part time gig...

    Supercharger — Montrose, CO

    I would tend to agree about the Magic Dock installations here and at Craig. (Perhaps more reliable than CCS stalls. . .) Also, Tesla can now collect $$ for kilowatt hours delivered. :) 💲 (. . . a piece of the action??)

    Blinker fluid, where do I fill on a Model X?

    I got a good chuckle too. . . Maps to (appropriately!) 420 Providence Hwy in Westwood Massachusetts . . . a (former??) Mazda Dealership Korean text translates to Seoul Yeouido Supercharger @ Mall & Conrad Seoul Hotel where there IS a listed supercharger. :rolleyes:
