    Suspension creaking noise front right?

    Hi there. I just started experiencing the EXACT same sounds/squeaking in my 2020 X. Unfortunately we are 150 miles away from home visiting family for Thanksgiving. What was the final resolution? Any insight as to whether safe for us to drive home?

    Subframe Bolt Came Out; Tesla Says My Fault??

    They maintained that I hit something but agreed to fix it as a courtesy. I think they knew they were full of it and ultimately wanted to do the right thing.

    WTB - Nor Cal VIN Transfer for White M3 Base Model w/ Black Interior and 18" Wheels

    Hi All, I am not asking someone to jump through all the hoops/headaches of transferring a reservation to me. I already have a reservation for a base M3 and my delivery date is December, but I'd like to get one earlier if possible. I've heard that people with current reservations who get...

    Subframe Bolt Came Out; Tesla Says My Fault??

    Thanks so much for the reply. I did do the dance already with the first level advisor in person, and he said the technician took pictures of the damage and he would email them to me. In retrospect I should have had them show me while the car was on the rack. I never got an email so I had to...

    Subframe Bolt Came Out; Tesla Says My Fault??

    Tesla didn't tell me sh*t. For those following this thread-- (1) In response to my request for proof that I damaged the halfshaft, they sent me back the original photo with a red square around the halfshaft - IMG_6516.jpg. Of course I responded saying all you did was draw a box; where is the...

    Subframe Bolt Came Out; Tesla Says My Fault??

    I will ask them in my follow up email. All I know is from what is in the estimate - "Right Front Subframe Bolt." They screwed the bolt back in while it was on the rack while they are diagnosing.

    Subframe Bolt Came Out; Tesla Says My Fault??

    Thanks so much. I asked them for proof and they sent me this photo with no explanation. - IMG_6516.jpg I emailed back asking them to expound. I’ll post what they say.

    Amazing. Thank you for this! The part # for the half shaft they quoted me is the exact one in the bulletin.

    Subframe Bolt Came Out; Tesla Says My Fault??

    I think you’re right. I was reading it backwards. Regardless, we didn’t hit anything. We asked if they can show us the evidence we hit something, and the manager sent me this picture without any explanation - Meet Google Drive – One place for all your files Of course I had to email back...

    Subframe Bolt Came Out; Tesla Says My Fault??

    Does this make sense to anyone? We were driving the other day and suddenly started hearing a large rattling/clanking noise. We took the car into the dealer the next day. They said the right front subframe bolt became completely dislodged, which as a result caused the right front halfshaft...

    SGIP Rebate Question - This Legit?

    OP here. I’m going through Infinity Energy, Inc. and pulled the trigger today. PM and I can put you in contact with the rep who helped me. Customer service was very good and the company handles everything including applying for the rebates and permits and all that. My home is in Calaveras County...

    SGIP Rebate Question - This Legit?

    Thanks so much for the info. Even with installation, 13.5K does sound like a lot per powerwall. I'll definitely reach out to another company or two, and hopefully the guy your recommend can offer insight or even do the job.

    SGIP Rebate Question - This Legit?

    I live in a fire zone and also require a medical device throughout the night, and I was solicited to take advantage of some SGIP program/rebates through the state of California. After numerous phone calls/emails with Infinity Energy, Inc., I got quoted for 24 panels and 4 Tesla Powerwalls. I...

    Are rear Falcon door alignments covered under warranty?

    Mines been a problem since day one. They said they fixed it, looked ok, and I had chrome delete put on, but after 1000 miles started rubbing again. Have an appt to come in again next week, total miles less than 3k. They haven’t tried charging me yet but Ive been complaining on the record since...

    No 225 kw charging with v2020.24.6

    Similar. I charge regularly at a 150kw max supercharging station and have never seen charge rates above 120, even when it’s pretty empty. Not sure increasing the max from 200 to 225 will result in any noticeable real world difference.

    Chrome Delete on Red MX

    Yes, though the Tesla emblem is like a sticker thing and they added a clear coat on top. Here’s a pic they sent me midway through.

    Chrome Delete on Red MX

    We took delivery about 1.5 weeks ago and took it in right away for a chrome delete and caliper job. Couldn’t be happier with how the car came out. If you’re up in the Bay Area, CA, highly recommend the guys at Stealth Labs in Belmont. 1800 out the door for the full chrome delete and red caliper...

    Venting about X Order - Thoughts?

    I took delivery today! Most of the Bay Area goes on lockdown tonight at midnight. Tesla called and said to get in ASAP because city of Fremont likely shutting down soon. For those following my original thread, SA pretty much told me he screwed up and gave me wrong info about the car being in a...

    This is where I’m leaning. I’ll find out more about the mileage and build date etc when my SA responds.

    Venting about X Order - Thoughts?

    Is this realistic if the car has less than 50 miles? Tesla is notorious for no negotiating.

    Venting about X Order - Thoughts?

    Thanks all. I’m not too concerned about the virus. We can wipe it down etc. Should I be concerned about taking delivery of a Tesla in general that has been driven/tinkered with (albeit lightly).

    The virus has affected my family and community greatly. Glad I could give you a good laugh.

    Venting about X Order - Thoughts?

    Would appreciate people's thoughts here. I ordered an MX LR in early January. Then Musk hinted at upcoming changes on the earnings call, so I asked my SA to delay to see if anything materialized. Sure enough in February Tesla released the LR+. I immediately advised my SA to full speed ahead...

    Check VIN on ev-CPO archives to see if anything funky like previous sale or build date off.

    I would do the same. Sorry you’ve been going through this. I’m supposed to take delivery soon. I sure hope things go smoothly.

    351 Mile Range!

    Interesting here is a 2020 LR+ fleet vehicle for sale with VIN 229... 2020 Model X | Tesla 3500 miles on it. Seems by the miles and VIN this would have been build a few months ago. 229 is the lowest LR+ VIN I've seen.

    351 Mile Range!

    Thanks, can you provide a link to that thread?
  46. shenger

    Purchase advice

    You’ll need to pay at least some taxes when you register it depending on what you report the sale as. I highly doubt the free SC will transfer to you if the current owner bought it CPO. I like the white seats, black rims, and chrome delete. Def some value there. Not a bad deal in my view.

    Man I’m so jealous. I think I’ve been waiting longer than all of you. I ordered on 1/5. Then Musk hinted at changes on the earnings call. I got a call early Feb saying car was ready, but I decided to punt to see if anything would develop from Musk’s statement (glad I did). Then LR+ announced...
