Not sure if these will help, but here are a couple of posts (here #1 and here #2) with ideas about that perfect model-year and what accessories were cool to have. (Unfortunately, this is more day-dreaming than reality. But still...)

Coming off of the red brake calipers issue, I became newly interested in Tesla options codes. Over the years there have been a number of TMC posts about such codes, and there are several websites that provide Tesla code translations. Interestingly, there were suggestions that (after 2019) Tesla...

In the end I was fortunate to be able to choose Option #1 (install factory OEM red calipers). I was in no rush and had other things going on, so the delay was not a problem. Recognizing my own limitations, I wisely chose not to install the brake calipers myself. More information and a few photos...

I finally joined the Red Brake Club (RBC), and corrected the Survey accordingly. Tesla red Brembo front brakes. Tesla red Mando rear brakes. (Wheels are OEM Slipstream 20" rims. Originally silver, they were powder-coated to the Tesla Sonic Carbon color by Rim Pros of Sacramento. As reported...

It turns out that "M12" is/was just the metric size designation for the (two) brake caliper attachment bolts used on Legacy Models S and X. All Tesla Legacy Models S & X brake calipers use metric size 12mm bolts. Why "M12" appears/appeared on some caliper parts names and not others was just due...

I added more information about potential sales restriction language for red ("Performance") brake calipers in the Tesla online Parts Catalog to an APPENDIX D, Table 3 in the Original Post. I put it there (rather than in a new post, here) so that I could continue to edit/correct the information...

Again, thank you for the information you provided. After more careful re-reading of your post, I see now that you were probably saying that you needed to buy new parking brake calipers, not pads per se. In that case, purchasing the calipers with pads included is not only an acceptable (minor)...

Following up on preliminary observations in Post #51, I visited the Sacramento Service Center yesterday and saw, first-hand, the red brake/cover issue on a 2024 Model X Plaid there. Scandalous! (I am being facetious, but I really do think that Tesla may have made a Public Relations error on this...

The great "Mobile Entry" mystery is solved here, I think. Once again, the Sacramento Service Center is proving to be an entertaining place: Sadly, they are all spoken for.

I believe/hope that I have put this issue to rest with a recent visit to the (Sacramento) Service Center (where I could look at the display settings of various cars. If interested, please see my findings and evidence here. (Spoilers: there is no "Mobile Entry" setting that I could find, and...

I first addressed an alleged software setting name change from "Passive Entry" to "Mobile Entry" (or "Mobile Access") on March 27, 2024 (Post #8, above). It has taken me almost a month to return to the scene of the crime (Tesla Service Center in Sacramento) and to try to clear up those month-old...

Found it! Not a still photograph--it was in a YouTube video I saw here. Sure looks like the red parking brake caliper is OEM Tesla. This was a 2014 Model S from the U.K., so maybe ten years ago (in Great Britain) Tesla was having the "Performance" parking brake calipers painted also?

Yes, thanks for that. I too am in the process of adding additional "Legacy" information for 2012-2017, when four Brembo brakes were included and the rear wheels had (Brembo--you just confirmed that!) parking brake calipers, also. Here's a minor thing: I believe that I have seen photographs of...

Here is an example of Grail Galleri test results (not mine; from a patient who must have paid to take the test). The report reveal sensitivities and error rates, which are helpful to know. The results can be downloaded as a pdf file.

This new posting/thread may be of interest to Model S drivers, as well as to owners of Model X.

This is an interesting Thread. For those of us without "refreshed" (2021+) Models S/X, here is an attempt to list key "Performance" model and other high-performance 2021+ brake parts, with selected 2015-2021 Models S & X brake parts for comparison, as currently included in the Tesla online parts...

Prompted by this interesting OP and Thread dealing with upgrading 2022 Model X brakes to red, "Performance" calipers and/or high-performance parts, I did some further digging in the online Tesla Parts Catalog (for USA models) to better understand what the owners of "Refreshed" (2021+) Models S...

OK. Wow. What a mess. My "Legacy" car has no rear brake covers like what you are describing. Just the rear brake logo "plate." (I'll call it a "plate," here, rather than a "cover.") Again, I have not handled "Refreshed" 2021+ brakes, so I am not knowledgeable about them specifically. But from...

OK; apologies. My understanding was that for Model Y (and 3?) at some point Tesla started using red caliper “covers” (like what some people do instead of painting calipers) in place of actual red calipers. And I wanted people to know that, if true, that is not what Tesla is doing with Models S...

Interesting. I, too, would have totally guessed that it was the safety release pull-down.

Back in early 2021, when I first purchased my Model X, there was unofficial competition between Hansshow and EVOffer (at that time called Tesla Offer; located in Hong Kong) about, among other things, powered front hood strut kits. (A couple of TMC members attempted to organize discounted "group...

I asked because (depending on the SC?) I think it can be difficult to order red brakes from Tesla for a non-performance model.

Your car was a Performance model to begin with, correct?

Just discovered this Thread. I have been in the (long-term) process of investigating how to get as-authentic-as-possible red (performance) brake calipers on my 2021 (built Dec. 2022) Model X Long Range+. Some comments (sorry for delay in responding): @cali_doc: Good job finding an auto shop...

Summary of Model X door functions: I started putting a new table here, but moved it to the Appendix B of the First Post, where I can continue to revise/correct it as necessary.

The key word here is "automatically," I think. I take that to mean, "hands-free" but without any specific action needed by the approaching driver. Compare that to discussions on TMC where people are talking about the capability of opening mechanically/electronically but with the push of a...

Not to spend your money unwisely, but is there any chance you might want to upgrade to the popular NEMA 14-50 receptacle some day? The 30a outlet and 30a circuit breaker would of course be relatively easy to replace, but not the wire. Of course, 6 gauge wire would be more expensive. What I did...

Under the subtitle, “More salt rubbed into the wounds:” To the best of my knowledge, south Davis (south of I-80) no longer has a full-sized drug store (w/pharmacy, retail products, etc.). (There were two at one time; both have closed.) | The last remaining Rite Aid is--you guessed it--in north...

I certainly did not buy my Model X because of the self-presenting door feature.* In fact, I don't remember even using it, at first. Now it is one of my favorite features (except when I am washing the car with the sprayer and forget I have the fob in my pocket). (Better than having a powered...

Hmm. Well, something detects obstructions next to the driver door, because I have a minor battle with my (early 2021 Model X) car almost everyday that I park in front of my house (in the summer) due to 'deadly' sage plants that would apparently rip the driver's door to shreds if it opened fully...

This thread is for the general discussion of the marketplace listing Model S & Model X Brake Calipers - Full Set. Please add to the discussion here.

Driving around (in ever-increasing Sacramento-area traffic) with a "Classic"/"Legacy version Model X, which I mostly like, I am always thinking, "What if the car was totaled and (a) I survive without a scratch, natch and (b) I have to get a new car. Would I get another X?" Unfortunately it...

My excuses on behalf of Tesla are at an end. I have no answers to your reasonable questions. Yes, my (December 2020 production date) driver door is still opening up as before (although I do not yet have the latest software with v12 FSD). The good news is that the electrical-mechanical ability...

In defense of Tesla, the problem, apparently, was that occasionally (for various reasons--maybe the sensors become obstructed, somehow?) the driver's door would hit objects (e.g., another car parked too close to the driver's side or perhaps nearby vegetation?), causing minor damage. So they have...

What about the self-presenting feature for the driver's door? That door still does not open fully when you approach with a paired fob (and Automatic Doors is set for "on"), correct? Still only 10°, right?

Yes, right. Thanks. I see in the 2021+ owner's manuals that "Passive Entry" (as a setting the driver can change) does not seem to be a thing. Instead, the 2021+ manuals talk about "Passive Locking and Unlocking" (e.g., Page 24 of the Model S 2021+ Owner's Manual. Software version 2024.2.3)...

Question to owners/drivers of all new (2021-24) model-year cars with the latest software (updates), but especially "refreshed" Models S and X: In the "Safety" screen of your center display, DO YOU HAVE AN OFF-ON SLIDER SETTING CALLED "Passive Entry" OR "Mobile Entry"? In my car the "Passive...

Interesting. As I've written elsewhere, my (loss of fob recognition) issue was entirely software (setting) related. For readers who may want more about that and the "Passive Entry" setting in the (now called) "Safety" screen, please see this thread, and specifically this post.

Interesting thread. Sounds like OP problem was hardware-related. However, for some readers who (like me) find this thread after experiencing fob recognition (and, for Model X, self-presenting door) problems after going to a SC, check this thread out wherein the problem was software- (settings)...

I may be able to offer some insight about one of my own questions: Got a brief look inside a new Model X today (at a Tesla showroom). I was told by the Tesla sales rep that the "Mobile Entry" setting now on the "Safety" screen is basically the same as the "Passive Entry" setting used to be...

Visited the Tesla (Sacramento) Service Center/Showroom today (03/27/24). Was shown a new (demo) Model X. There has apparently been a (nominal only?) change to the "Passive Entry" setting. According to Tesla sales rep there, the latest Model X have the setting "Mobile Entry" on the "Safety"...

Interesting thread. Sorry to hear about (justifiable) dissatisfaction with the current self-presenting feature in newer Model X. Yes, I see where the North American 2021+ (software: 2024.2.3) Owner's Manual says: "You can also set the driver's door to open automatically upon your approach. The...

Thanks. I will continue to experiment occasionally (when waiting at charger)—update the Thread if I find anything new.

It appears that Tesla somewhat addressed both concerns, just not with the 2015-2020 Model X. Instead, with the newer 2021+ Model X model-years (which actually makes perfect sense). As has happened with some of my other posts, one single question or issue has grown into a much larger...
