    Has this ever happened to you?? Unable to retract 2nd row seatbelt

    I know this thread is old, but my 2016 MX has this exact same issue. I'm looking for repair options since the car is out of warranty. I found this place: https://www.myairbags.com/product/seat-belt-repair-1-stage/ where I remove the seat belt unit myself, send it in and they'll fix it and...

    Middle Rear Seat Belt Problems

    Well darnit! I was invested and there was no update! I think this thread got lost in the vacuum. I just happened across it because I'm having a different problem with my MX seatbelt and it came up in the search. OP, did you ever find out what happened to your seatbelt?

    Lighted T Sign

    Sorry I missed your questions! I got mine installed and it looks really nice. Here are some pictures. It was actually not too scary to install it. Honestly the scariest part for me wasn't drilling the hole, it was taking off the plastic trim inside to get to the wiring! You have to be...

    Lighted T Sign

    Wow that was an involved custom! I finally found a video that went through it and we realized you just have to be firm when you pull. We still ended up breaking a few tabs but fortunately there's a lot on that back liner. :) We got it done and the lit emblem in the back looks great! In case...

    Lighted T Sign

    Drilling a hole in my Model X isn't what's causing me problems, it's removing the interior rear hatch trim. We can't seem to figure it out nor can we find any videos. I'm leary of just pulling until something pops because I don't want to break anything. Does anyone have any videos or suggestions...

    Model 3 totaled! please advise

    Something else to consider: My insurance company would not pay for the brand new tires I'd just bought on the Model S we totalled. If your tires are new enough you might consider removing them and putting on some old used ones and selling them separately. The salvage lot my car was brought to...

    Mach-E review from Model 3 SR+ owner...

    I chose the Model X over the Y and the 3 because of the feel of the turn signal shifter. I preferred the full mechanical "thunk" of the old-school turn signal in the MX over the electronic switch lever in the MY and M3. So I fully understand why people are arguing over the volume knob. The...

    Is Autopilot at fault in this accident?

    From the video: "When it hit Aaron's Tesla, the glass from the passenger side exploded throughout the cabin and all over Aaron" ... causing him to wake up. Clearly the truck driver's fault, but there were so many signs the truck was changing lanes. Any attentive driver would've been able to...

    Long Way Up movie - electric motorcycle trip

    Just started watching this. I'm on episode two but it's brought up some questions which is why I sought this thread out: 1) Does Claudio have an Electric Harley? I get the impression he's riding a normal gas powered bike. They're being very careful to not show him or his bike and anytime I...

    Curb rash. Ouch.

    Oh yeah, that first ding. I discovered the other day that the Falcon-wing doors won't detect Sonic's "hanging" menus.

    Car Wash Mode - Instructions!

    Wow! Did that car wash put you bumper to bumper?!?! I had an issue like that in my car wash - got up from the seat, car went into Park - but the car behind me was far enough behind I was able to get it back in drive and just creeped the rest of the way through.

    Here's a good example of a loophole in Oregon: Other existing limitations under ORS 653.295 include the following: The longest enforceable period of a noncompetition agreement under ORS 653.295 is 18 months from the date of separation, and a noncompetition agreement is enforceable only against...

    Shut down with supercharger in sight

    * Your Honda Hybrid can go over 400 miles on a tank of gas. A Tesla towing probably goes 100 miles or so (David99 would know more about that). So it's more likely that some people are pushing their cars to the limit given driving and trip distance. * I routinely drove my newly purchased cars...

    What would make you buy a non Tesla electric vehicle?

    Came here to post the very same car. I have a 2013 Nissan Leaf and in some areas it's LOADS better than my Tesla MX. I'd like to add a few: - Heater is MUCH more powerful than the Tesla. Takes less than 1/2 mile to get from 28F to 72F in my Leaf. It takes the MX at least two miles if not...

    Model X automatically shifting into Park in tunnel of car wash!

    This just happened to me today at a car wash! So after reading this thread, I took the car home and played with it in my driveway. If the car is in Neutral AND YOUR SEAT BELT IS ON, you can move up and out of your seat no problem, the Tesla will not shift out of Neutral. If the car is in...

    How do you replace Model X wiper blades?

    I can confirm what DCGOO said. My wipers were chattering on the windshield despite having plenty of rain to wipe off, so I created a service ticket and a Mobile Service Support person is going to come out next Wednesday to look at and "possibly replace" my wipers at no cost to me.

    Tow Mode - No Tow Package

    ARMARM would you give details about your Tow Package install? I'm buying a 2016 MX right now (having it delivered). It has no Tow Package but I'd like to get one installed later. Did you go to Tesla to install it or another business aftermarket? How much did it cost if I may ask?

    2015 Tesla Accelerated into a wall

    That matches the story told by my seller. He bought the car in a salvage auction in California, towed it to Minneapolis to get it repaired and drove it back to Oregon. He drove it for 60,000 miles before selling it to me. Sounds like you did the repairs zhur0002. My wife and I pretty much...

    @Saxgod Really? You think it's fake? Please point out the grammar mistakes, I thought it was terse and to the point. If you want to see it, here's the Facebook post from the Scappoose Fire department that the paper got their article from: Scappoose Fire District Also, I thought my pictures...

    2015 Tesla Accelerated into a wall

    That's from that thread, last page... It's so hard... soooo hard..... I don't think you'd understand unless you were there. We are both 50+ years old. NOTHING like this has ever happened to us. It's so easy to blame the car. In my head I understand all the explanations out there and I...

    2015 Tesla Accelerated into a wall

    @D.E. Well you probably just said everything possible to convince me, dammit. Can I swear on this forum? I guess I'll decide when Progressive tells me how my claim will be settled. You're right, I can probably get a new 3 for what I paid. I was hoping to get a nicer used Model S because I...

    2015 Tesla Accelerated into a wall

    @boaterva I don't know specifically what version firmware the Tesla has. Probably not the latest update since it's been blocked. What feature is this? I'd like to find out, and see if my car has it (when I get it from the tow yard). Two things I *wish* for my next Tesla: 1. That is has a...

    2015 Tesla Accelerated into a wall

    I'm six pages into that huge thread I posted above. It's so similar to me you'd think I was AZM3 moved to Oregon! lol (I'm not, I promise) My son kept trying to take pictures but the police kept warning him back. I'll ask him to forward the pics to me so I can post them. I saw @wk057's post...

    2015 Tesla Accelerated into a wall

    I bought the car from a private party. He told me he bought the car at auction in California in 2016 and took it to Minnesota to have it repaired (there's a guy there that's expert at "salvage" title repairs?) Then drove the car from Minnesota to Oregon. He put 60000 miles on it before...

    I'm reading those other threads now. Ugh! So much bashing! I really am just asking questions trying to get information so we can move forward. I did learn that it appears AEB (that's what that feature is called!) is disabled if the driver has their pressure on the accelerator. I agree...

    2015 Tesla Accelerated into a wall

    I'm really sorry that this has to be my first post on this forum. I've been lurking outside of Tesla for years, afraid that if I joined in I'd get too involved and overextend myself trying to afford one... I'd been saving for seven years and finally had enough money put together to outright...
