I was told by a Tesla technician that a half shaft shudder can eventually lead to failure and loss of drive to the front wheels. We just won’t know how long it takes to get to that point.

My 2020 Raven X with version “E” battery failed at 45k miles. It was actually a wiring in the pack that shorted. Tesla replaced with a reman’d “E”. The link below has at least 11 Raven Xs that also had fairly early battery pack failures. Some speculate something to do with the earlier Raven...

Had that happen to my 2020 Raven a couple of years back. Mobile ranger glued it back on in 15 min. Hasn’t come apart since.

I purchased them from discounttire.com.

No issues with harshness at all. Here are a couple of pics of the rear.

I put on a set of the Hankook Ion Evos on the stock 22s last month. Very very happy with the noise level and efficiency so far. So many factors go into efficiency, but definitely more efficient than the Michelin Pilot Sport AS4s they replaced.

My early 2020 Model X's HV battery failed, and the diagnosis was a faulty wiring harness in the pack. The SC replaced the HV battery. The car originally had an "E" version battery and the replacement was a remanufactured "E" pack. Hopefully these reman'd packs have a revised wiring harness...

I’m at 44k miles with around 5 months of original warranty left. The Tesla app extended warranty option also shows my car as “no longer qualify”. What was weird is I was able to see it as an option a couple months ago. I was leaning towards XCare anyways, but I guess Tesla is eager to make as...

I’d stay away and stick with the major known brands.

Yes, the USS for the FWDs are under the sheetmetal of the doors.

Is there another Service Center in your area you can try taking the car? I have two service centers near me, and one was finding ways to not address/repair a few issues I had (including worn half shafts/cv), while the other one repaired the same issues when I went to them later.

I’ve had recurrence of front suspension clunks and squeaks. The first time the service center replaced upper control arms. When the noises came back 1 year later, the service center replaced upper control arms and fore links. If your service center is anything like mine, they will attribute...

Sounds like the displays turn on but the car just won’t start? Does the car connect to Wi-Fi or LTE (e.g. can you see it in the Tesla app)? If so, it may be worth calling Tesla support and see if they can remote in to diagnose.

I had pretty loud squeaking when turning the steering and going over bumps. The SC replaced the both upper control arms and both fore links. Looks like you have both of those in the estimate (plus the aft links). The SC didn’t change my aft links. I still have a minor suspension squeak that...

What was involved with the coolant repair last time? The coolant is also used to cool the battery durning charging or driving. I had a coolant leak a couple of years back and Tesla Service noted it as high priority and fit me in the same day. I’d take it to the Tesla as and indie may not be...

No issue with viewing either screens with Oakley polarized sunglasses

I just got some Heatshield shades for the front windshield a couple of weeks ago. https://www.heatshieldstore.com/car-window-shades/2022-tesla-model-x-suv The "top" shade includes a shade for the upper part of the windshield, covering down to the rearview mirror. It also includes shades for...

Is there another SC in your city/town you can reschedule with? If it’s really a parts availability issue (which I wouldn’t be surprised) there’s not much the SC can do except reschedule you until the parts come in.

Have you checked out HeatShield? I personally don’t have it for the X, but I have a pano sunroof cover made by them for another SUV. They actually did not officially have that cover yet at that time, but worked with me in getting measurements and made one specially for my SUV (as well as...

That’s awesome. That Bucce’s was always the usual stop in my gasser going between Houston and Dallas. With the huge parking lot, amenities, and location, I always thought it’d be a perfect supercharger location. Hope Tesla drops at least 16 stalls here.

yes, I just noticed my 2020 X is also very creaky on that area.

Was just there yesterday and it looks like Tesla is adding another 8 stalls for a total of 12. They moved the dumpsters that were in the corner and construction is currently in progress.

I have a Raven X and I think the air suspension is great. Rides a little “softer” than our 2018 Q7 with air suspension, but still not feeling floaty. The seats on the other hand are a little too plush for me. I like the more firm and supportive seats in the Audi or BMW. My last car is a X5...

My 2020 was built 2nd half of Oct, has the “E” battery

If you don’t need a car now, I’d just wait and see what is announced.

My Oct 2019 build 6 seater has the “latch” in the 3rd row. I also have the “old” seats.

Supercharging “Superchargers in urban areas deliver a nearly consistent 72 kilowatts (kW) of power, even if another Tesla begins charging in an adjacent stall. This creates a predictable charging experience with an average Supercharging session lasting around 45-50 minutes in city centers.”

Why not just let Tesla handle it? Save you a trip or two to the DMV and having to worry about having all the paperwork in order.

Im not in the car, but if I remember right, this is how to change between % and miles: Small car icon on the bottom left -> Display -> gear icon at upper right -> Energy Display -> Distance

Lol, sounds like it’ll be as you described...sign paperwork, toss you the keys, bye!

you have the new design seats that’s been discussed in another thread here.

IIRC, after April 24

Interesting. Just looked at the new order page and saw the 8 year for battery and drive unit warranty with no mention of miles.

In case you didn't know, the reason they require full payment at least 5 days before "delivery date" is because the car is still in California and cannot be put on a truck carrier to TX until you've actually purchased it. Because of TX laws, Tesla essentially sells the car to you from...

Thanks, looks like I need to read the manual more carefully :)

This wiring harness was in the frunk of my newly delivered MX. Anyone know what this is for? A google search on the number on the tag did not turn up anything.

From your user name, I assume you’re in Texas. In case you didn’t know, for Texas purchases, Tesla requires for the car to be fully funded before they will put the car on a truck carrier to be shipped to Texas from California. So that delivery date won’t really be solid until the carrier is...

That looks like a pretty big gap

My delivery scheduled for next week is a 2020 X, ordered end of Sept

https://electrek.co/2019/10/29/tesla-updates-model-x-front-seats/

I ordered 9/29, received a note yesterday to schedule delivery. The earliest I could schedule was 11/4. Put my vin into a vin decoder and it said it was a 2020. Perhaps the same “no delivery before 11/1” rule applies to Texas.

Placed order for white/white 6-seat LR X on 9/29. Received email today to schedule delivery. My option for dates were 11/4 to 11/7. This is in Texas.
