    Can I expect 200K miles from a100D? (Model X)

    Yes. I'm almost there and it is the same drive since 100k miles.

    Should I buy a 2016 Tesla X

    Go for a larger battery, best from Tesla with same used car warranty on it. Have an X90 that already is too little in range and had to throw tons of dollars at it to maintain.

    Recommendation for interior pass through ski bags between MX 6 seater captain seats

    I'm using a Audi Ski bag that we buckle into the last rows seat belt locks.

    Will lifetime unlimited supercharging canceled with 16 model

    Tesla removes this on CPO cars. If you need that (this is usually overestimated because even on longer trips you fill up before the start and when you arrive which usually is on your own dime) you have to look for one where it has not yet been removed so a third party dealer or private sale.

    Putting Model S 19" Slipstreams on my Model X Performance.

    Here in Europe 19" wheels are even recommended by Tesla for winter tyres. I'm using those model X 19" wheels summer and winter with the respective tyres. Handling is good, don't want to lose range or add road noise. No rim rash after 18 months. 265 tyres all around, also cheaper to buy. No...

    What Else Are You Considering?

    EQS looking great, if SUV is more your thing Rivian for sure. However after all the issues Tesla has with quality and service i doubt another startup will be better. So etron 55, RS or EQS will be my next picks, fed up with the road noise and the constsnt need for little things that need fixing...

    V3 falcon wing door switch update

    Wow, did you install them yourself or did Tesla do it?
  9. S

    Loaner cars are back. But not necessarily Teslas.

    Just sad they saved so much on making the car quiet that even an ICE is more quiet. So sad.

    How bad are Falcon Wing doors?

    No major issues with them. Don't need them, would rather not have them, but definitely no show stopper. Best thing is in the rain when one gets cover below the doors. Other than that one gets used to them and they are just working that is it.

    Buying a 2017 X 90D, any suggestion?

    Model should be fine also fully charging to estimate battery health. However only scan my Tesla will reveal the true state of health. Suspension is usually ok, if you have some warranty the dreaded issue with the drive train is also a non issue. Hw 2 or 2.5 - not sure, but with an mcu...

    Is Unlimited Supercharging Speed Limited?

    Have you actually checked battery temp? Was the Supercharger stop planned in navigation for the whole hour? Just driving at this temperature at US (I assume) highway speeds does not heat the battery enough. Either the car does it (if the charging stop has been entered long enough) before arrival...

    Software update 2020.48.26.x update, font size problems

    It is embarrassing. These fonts are a joke and way too small.

    Black Seats on Black Ash Wood?

    They are using up their inventory, maybe after the refresh there will be different panels.Surely a nice combination, I'd go for it.

    Considering used X, which year model?

    From 2017 Model x has been improved with ap2, AFAIK the next big jump was Raven already.

    Used Model S

    Yes, I was referring to mcu1 being slow, and mcu2 being a bit bitter but for me not worth the difference. But of course it is the better mcu, no doubt.
  18. S

    Used Model S

    Mcu2 is overrated in my books. Yes it's slower, yes there are issues with its memory, but overall great. With 16 or early 17 you might still get free Supercharging if that makes sense for you (but don't overestimate it, really only useful on long trips), leather instead of plastic seating and...

    Missing security cert after MCU2 upgrade causes App problems

    Sucks. Hope they can resolve it remotely. How much was the upgrade? Did you have to purchase FSD for it?

    I've loved Tesla for 7 years. But after years of abuse, I'm out

    Service in Vienna, Austria is excellent. Fast reaction over the app, flexibility of staff. Better than most Merc or Audi garages I've dealt with in the past.

    Help me decide: 2019 Model 3 performance vs 2017 Model S 75D (or 90D)

    I'd go 90d. Of course if on track only the m3p works, all s get too hot to fast, so after a few full accelerations you wont get full power anymore. As for the interior it is completely different. In my eyes model s is pretty close to Germans, but model 3 is awfully simplistic and made of...

    What would be an accurate description of Model S drivers?

    Pretty well off. A little show off. Up to now certainly with a level of geekyness... Seems regular folk find S too expensive.

    [!= Ludicrous Mode, MVPA generated] - Should I walk away?

    Car is fine. Only another Tesla will beat you, but having had a p90dl for some time I never put it into Ludicrous. It is so extreme already as a performance only, never felt the need and in the beginning got a headache and felt sick after every drive.

    2016 s75 out of warranty costs - be warned

    Great. My sister had a new 3 series. Within one year the transmission, the air-condition, the differential and the computer on board died. This caused two tows from the middle of nowhere with loss of business for her. Under warranty, but still she had lost so much time an the car was in the...

    Advice for a new Tesla Model S owner

    For ccs you need a retrofit from Tesla themselves for 500 Euro. Chademo is an external 400 Euro (used) adapter - quite big, but worth it in Croatia I hear. Check if that is really the case compared to ccs. Ccs ist the new EU wide standard, so for about the same price you get a more future proof...

    How fast is it? Usable? A better route planner would be great to have in the car - does that work?

    Advice for a new Tesla Model S owner

    Do your oil change and spark plugs on time... No, just enjoy, not a lot to take care of. Use a long press on the back of the key fob to open the charge port and disconnect the cable when charging. Have a 7m / 21ft cable for public charging with you.

    Questions about returning to the brand...

    Get a raven s or x and be happy. Suspension is wonderful, noise levels much lower than you where used to and service highly depends on your local sec, mine has been great so far.

    Selling an Older Model S

    Put it online, have a good add up with everything that's been done to the car, battery pack health measures if possible and showing how fast it supercharges. I would not sell via Tesla since it will lose free supercharging which is surely going to help to sell it.

    Rattling Noise 2020 Model S

    Buyback is a tricky thing since they might ban you from buying at Tesla again. I would keep banging their doors until you find the right person, happened to me too - one tech said everything would be OK, the next one fortunately heard the issue I was bugged with in my S. Good luck!

    Do the 2020 Model S Ravens have Adaptive Headlights

    No. My biggest gripe about Tesla. An update should include Multibeam LED Better noise canceling Sunroof not just fixed glass roof Option to get real leather

    Tesla YANKED FSD option without notice - Class Action lawsuit? Any Lawyers here? [Resolved]

    Your dealer is the one to blame. Has he sold the car to you with or without FSD? If with he needs to make up for it, if without what do you want to claim? This needs to be in the invoice in writing of course, not verbally discussed.

    New member considerations for used P90D?

    Rich Rebuilds sums it up nicely. Without a proper inspection or better some warranty left I wouldn't recommend a used Tesla. If you have some third party garage around like his electrified garage it could work out, but if you need to stick to a budget and maybe have to wait for used parts it...

    Model S 2015 vs Raven 2019

    Sure, has about the same range, rides better, 30k is nothing for those two things. And warranty of course. Never drive a Tesla without warranty. Ever.

    My Model S was destroyed by hail (no kidding), so I need to buy another car

    EQC is much more quiet, especially on the highway, ipace handles much better. Both cool cars, they offer something Tesla does not. That said they charge less easily and a bit slower, but not sure if they actually had real life implications. If you get a new Tesla free supercharging is on the...

    Newbie questions!

    Congrats! You will love it! The investment in installation improvements will pay off in the future - don't think you will ever not have the chance to plug in your car. 19inch are not so great handling wise, but more comfortable and economical. And yes, you can get 21 inch wheels way cheaper...
