    2022 Used Model X Plaid or 2024 New Model X Non Plaid

    I had a 2022 MX LR so many build issues.... screen didn't tilt either. I dumped it for the 2023 because windows would not roll up in cold weather. I love my 2023 MX LR. I also debated about the plaid, had a loaner- super fast but went through 50% of the battery every day and had to charge all...

    X Owner test drives new Model X Dual-Motor - Jan2024

    Storage. The refresh frunk is not only tiny but so limitied in weight . MY older 2017 MX was 400lbs for the frunk and the frunk has shrunk in volume by about 40%. Also the lower trunk has shrunk- now I have to peel back carpeting to fit my Dometic CFX-3-35 fridge freezer. (ever need to grocery...

    GVWR Variance

    The older model X frunk can hold 400 pounds the new one only 110. If you go down to 19 inch rims, your tongue weight will go up in terms of its limit

    Designing a Travel Trailer for Model X

    No, I had multiple problems with my model X vehicles, and that kept me from dealing with this because I never knew whether I was going to get one that actually was going to be my long-term car. And another reason is I got my model x down to such a science that my new slightly smaller...

    Best TRUNK refrigerator/freezer in 5 seater Model X refresh vs Original Model X.

    I have had several Model X . In the Model X p90d 5 seater I found the best refrigerator solution was to put a Donetic CFX3-35. (35 liter fridge/freezer ) in the lower trunk compartment and then not bother to use the rear trunk cover as it was about level with the seats folded flat . This...

    Wiki Model X Refresh Issues Thread

    Smaller HEPA? Why would they do that? Does anyone know if the replacement cost for new filter and labor would be SIGNIFICANTLY LESS, as the old replacement was pretty costly. That could be a benefit. Does the Smaller air HEPA filter mean higher wind velocity at the intake and exhaust so it's...

    convert 6 seats to 7?

    Well , since the 5 seater was the last addition to model x is it possible that you could take a fold flat 2nd row from a current 5 seat or 7 seater and mount that safely to the 6 seater and just lose the power seats ? in my case I want to turn a 7 seater into a 5 seater with fold flat seats.

    So camping mode is useless.

    I had a 1994 E500 Mercedes before Model X so ride quality and sportiness was a downgrade. I bought MX with unlimited lifetime supercharging specifically for car camping. I had a concussion in 2012 and felt unemployable from memory loss and bought this as a “what if I can never work again and...

    Designing a Travel Trailer for Model X

    So the issue camping in MX isn’t so much having water, but enough hot water on demand. Certainly you could fill the 10 liter dromedary bags and use those while still hot. So one thing I have done is use a Yeti hopper flip 18 to insulate the Dromedary bags for a hot shower up to 24 hours later...

    Some sad news… They are,discontinuing the. 23’ CB airstream , my favorite compact layout in 2023. one drawback of that layout is the Lounge is I’m the front not that back. I wish airstream would reverse that layout. Marshall at CanAm said the 23FB does not tow like an Airstream ironically...

    Electronic Stability Control

    Trailer stability control can be an OPTIONAL subset of ESC . Does model x have this to help prevent vehicle sway induced by a trailer, and subsequently delivers the correct braking inputs to reduce trailer sway itself once started to damp out the resonant positive feedback trailer sway?

    Initial trailer pulling report - 90D and Airstream 22ft Bambi Sport

    I think run flat tires with TPMS would be important for me (no idea if they are applicable to trailers) Double Axles or Triple Axles are just a bit more insurance. Unlike so many other people driving across straight roads, I'm more often than not on twisting winding slick roads and of course a...

    Initial trailer pulling report - 90D and Airstream 22ft Bambi Sport

    Yes aftermarket portable TPMS for me would be a must. But sometimes you could be in a position where you can't pull over. Worst case scenario would be going fast in a tunnel with traffic. Well maybe yet another solution would be a second set of wheels and axles (Perhaps smaller if weight...

    Does anyone know the curb weight for a naked skateboard chassis for either MX or MS? Given the wheelbase a trailer of length of 22'-26' is the likely length. Most of the weight would be stored low in the camper to keep with good handling. If it would be possible with steering geometry and...

    Initial trailer pulling report - 90D and Airstream 22ft Bambi Sport

    My concern with the Bambi is the single axle and the effects of a blow out resulting in a Bambi on its side flopping around behind a Model X. Perhaps if they had run flat tires and TPMS for the trailer and with alarms in Model X otherwise I would rather see multiple axles
