Standard. Still no shuttering since repairs.

The shuddering has completely stopped for me, at least for now. It has only been a few days so we'll see.

I've had the shuddering problem for over a year and finally reported it (2020 MX w/ 22' tires). It only shuddered upon accelerated and was an annoyance but since the closest service center is an hour away I was putting it off. Recently, I had several other issues going on at once, including a...

When I originally made the service appointment in the app it automated a quick appointment for service at my house. Once a human read it is changed to a service center 36 miles away, which is fine. Service appointment in 1 week on 11/17 and I'll update with how it went and if issue resolved...

I've got a 2020 MX LR w/ 22" wheels that has developed a case of the shudders on acceleration. I was going to post on here about it and found this long thread going so I see it's not unique to me. And we are not talking fast acceleration, just moderate to pull into traffic. Time to make a...

Thanks for taking the time with the great suggestions and photos. Very helpful!

This is the first time working with a GC on a new construction custom home. I like my GC, but I've also learned the closer you can stay to the contract without change orders, the better. Fortunately, even though this is the first home I'm building, I was able to spot a lot of the ridiculous...

As I mentioned in another thread, I am building a new home which, right now, is about framed out and the trusses should be going up soon. However, I have pulled the plug on the solar roof because I am just not comfortable with the uncertainties and poor communication from Tesla (and lack of...

Just to add to my post above another thing I may do is just tell my GC to stick to the building contract (no solar) and do the budgeted shingle roof without changes. And then, once the house is built and we have a CO and are moved-in, purchase Tesla solar panels + PWs. That way, no risk of...

I am having a similar experience here in the Tampa Bay Area with the same concerns. New construction waterfront home and the framing is almost done. The original quote on the Tesla site was way off, and when they uploaded the official quote it was about 20K higher as you said. I literally...

That’s correct. Due to hurricanes and being in a flood plain you have to build up under current codes. What nearly everyone does building waterfront is wait until getting a CO and then finish out the unused areas off the garage (w/o pulling a permit) realizing that if the big one comes they’d...

Thanks to everyone for such detailed responses, I feel like I got a real education. Very helpful and much appreciated!

Brett - if I can bother you with one more question without acting like you're my consultant. When you say powerwalls won't add any power, I don't understand. I do understand now thanks to your input that there are no off-peak rates, but if powerwalls won't add power, why have them? This is my...

Thanks, I honestly had no idea. I have Duke Energy and just Googled it and you're right on, not offered in this area. More to think about....

Thanks for the comments so far, and I welcome the input on the system itself. When I did the online analysis during the Tesla ordering process they recommended a little over twice the amount of solar. Going by memory I think around 17.5 kwh. I got cheap and scaled it back, which after tax...

I just did a long write-up on my dilemma during new residential construction, and I'm also in the Tampa area. Wow, that's a lot of power you're getting but your home is likely much bigger than mine. Mine is waterfront so I have to build up, and only 2500 sqft main living floor, although once I...

Hello all - I just thought I'd post here to see if anyone else is going through the same experience I am. I own a 2020 MX, love the car and have confidence in Tesla. So, when it came time for my wife and I to design and build a custom waterfront home I first looked into the Tesla panels, but...

I had a Thermadore LP cooktop at my old house. Currently constructing a new high-end home and going with induction. As much as I love gas, not only because how it cooks but also just the appearance of the cooktop, I didn't want the hassle and appearance of a new LP tank on the side of the...

Thanks. That is strange. Page 65 on the manual I have talks about trailer mode. In any event, just picked up the car and spoke for a bit with the tech. He advised the only way for the owner to do a hard reset is to partially disassemble something within the Frunk and then disconnect the...

That's not in my 2020 TMX manual.

One of the resets I tried included the brake pedal being pushed at same time of dual dials. That didn't work. The reason I tried that only once is....going by memory....the manual doesn't mention that method for the 2020 MX. Also, the texts from the agent didn't instruct that and I was told...

This was really strange. After the last software update both keys were rendered non-functional and wouldn't open the doors. After much research online and reading the manual I tried everything. New remote batteries didn't work even though I knew it wasn't that. I was able to get into the car...

Thanks, very sad and preventable. There were children amongst the 8 who died. I was actually driving through town after hiking when it happened but since it was on the south side of the lake didn't notice anything. Covid or not, Coeur d'Alene becomes a madhouse on Independence Day with...

I got the carrier on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001G4Z5J0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

agreed and I came to same conclusion it’s in the draft.

I was actually thinking the same thing, which is why I had triple redundancy. But definitely going with proper straps on trip back.

Oops, and yes, I hear that a lot around here LOL

Great points, and if I had anticipated taking such long trips I likely would have gone with the 20" wheels. Good luck and stay safe out there!

100% spot on!

I should have kept a better log but your estimates seem close. We made great timing when you add up God knows how many combined hours of charging. Does Tesla have the ability to look at a detailed driving log per trip? I know some of you guys have the stats down and analyze battery...

Thanks, and glad you liked the post. And I understand your point. The whole non-N95 mask thing really only works if everyone is using a mask. I still wear it in case I am an asymptomatic carrier, which would offer those around me protection, but it is starting to feel like folly with no one...

Thanks, and yes CDA is stunning and America's best kept secret. When friends come to visit many can't believe the beauty and are surprised they've never heard much about N. Idaho.

I was thinking about getting one as well after this trip. Do you, or anyone, have an Amazon link to the one that works well for you and fits well with the MX?

On average, including charging, roughly 12 day 1, maybe 13 day 2, day 3 was around 10, and then the last day was brutal, around 14. You'd love road tripping in a Tesla, sounds like a fun trip you're thinking about.

I'm not exactly sure, along I-75. I got the location by doing FB check-ins that only I could see and it came up Mariotta. I'll see if the check in gave me a map. It could have been Marietta area?

Of course all N95s have been sold out, but wife and I had several homemade masks. We wore them at all times in any public place when around people, such as popping into a store. Got a few strange looks, especially in the south. A few people look at you like you're a coward or something. It...

Having traversed the nation it was interesting to see the varying attitudes about Covid from region to region. The Deep South no one seemed to take precautions. As stated, Sioux Falls was the only area that had a really weird vibe with the concern visibly on people's faces (the Supercharger...

Yes, Midnight Silver Metallic w/ 22" Onyx Black Wheels. Good question, and I'lll leave that to those who know more about 20" vs 22". Everything I've read is that that 20" is a better fit for the car, but since I'm normally more of an "in-town driver" I didn't care much and accepted the trade...

My wife, golden retriever and I left our main home in Tampa area heading out for Spokane (ok, it was actually Coeur d’Alene, considered part of the Spokane-CDA Metro area). Our property in CDA boarders a national forest and as stated in original post just felt like I needed some fresh air and...

Just getting caught up on all the great responses. Thank you for taking the time to comment which was very helpful! I feel far better about the trip and until I used some of the recommended apps I didn't realize it would not be a problem. I've driven this before in a gas powered auto but...

Wife and I decided last night to drive to mountain home in Spokane from our home in Tampa, which is about the longest drive possible. This decision was made on a whim so just starting to plan it. Has anyone driven from the Deep South to the PNW? Suggestions or maps to share? Thx

Just took delivery of a brand new Tesla MX last month (first Tesla for me) and this may be the most pleased I've ever been with a new car purchase. Are there little bugs and glitches at times? Sure. I fully expected that. I've worked enough with computers to know that patches are needed...

Update: As per above, delivery was scheduled online for 12/5. I got a call yesterday (11/29) stating vehicle was in and had been inspected and I could come in as early as today or Sunday to pick it up.

Quick summary on MX LR w/ 22" wheels Location: Tampa, FL Ordered: 10/23 ($100 deposit) Confirmed: 10/23 Text Received with link to schedule delivery: 11/15 Delivery Scheduled for Dec 5th VIN: Still not showing up, so I got a delivery date before knowing my VIN. I imagine VIN will show-up...

Delivery scheduled Dec 5

Thanks, and things just developed quickly. Just got this text: Your Model X is in transit and ready to be scheduled! Select an available delivery appointment time now at _______________. If you have not selected an appointment by tonight we will assign and notify you of your delivery...

I'm not far from you. I ordered my Model X out of Tampa on 10/23 but I do not have a VIN yet. Everything has been approved, and I've accepted their offer to buy my trade-in. Can you please advise the date you actually placed your order and when you got your VIN? Ironically, I am also...
