    Upgrades to holiday display. How to get there?

    Last week, I dutifully installed 2022.44.25.5, anxiously awaiting the new New Year's animation. Much to my surprise, I cannot find how to play it. Is my 2020 Model X too old? While researching for the answer before posting this message, I also saw where Tesla will now allow you to design your...

    Virginia Beach service center closed. Norfolk SC opens.

    Does anyone think it odd that Tesla would close a service center in Virginia Beach, VA only three years after opening it and move to a new location in Norfolk which is pretty out of the way for many Tesla owners? I never received any notice and found out about it only by the new address and the...

    How to keep the car on when I get out?

    I know this sounds crazy, but whenever we make a stop in my 2020 MX, like at the Supercharger, when I leave the car (and take my fob with me), the car wants to shut down. I put it in Dog Mode, but according to my wife, it still cuts off the radio after a few minutes. Please note that she has her...

    48kW at a 250kW Supercharger?

    I know this has been talked about over the years but I am getting quite frustrated with SC speeds. Just recently a new 250kW SC was opened nearby and it seems no better than the 150 down the road. If the charge on my 2020 X is down around 100 miles then plugging in will peak up and I might see...

    Strange noise yesterday...

    Yesterday I drove a couple miles to pick up Chinese takeout. Keep in mind that it is August in Virginia, so it was about 95F outside. The battery fan was whirring like an F18 ready to take off from an aircraft carrier. By the time I got there, the fan noise had abated. I ran inside and picked up...

    Interesting run through the Blue Ridge Mountains

    Today, I drove my 2020 Model X from an intersection on one side of the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia, over the mountain and down the other side before going over a smaller ridge to get to my home. I started at the top of the picture where it says State Route 664. The remaining miles on my...

    Getting my Model X into a parking space

    For the record, I am vertically challenged, so my head does not bump the top glass in my MX. Having said that, I find it a bit challenging to line up the car between the lines in a parking lot. I usually end up much closer to the right line than the left. The side cameras are of NO help and even...

    Is it my imagination, or is the dash MX turning now?

    Just the other day, I made a sharp turn and I happened to glance at the dash. The Model X avatar was sitting at about a 20 degree angle from vertical. Then I started noticing that even making soft turns showed up on the dash. Was it always like this or is this a new "feature"? (If it is a...

    Model X - Fair Market Value

    I looked on KBB and on Edmonds and neither were able to give me FMV on my 2020 Model X. Does anyone know of a website which can provide current trade-in or resale value for a recently purchased Model X? (By the way, KBB.com only had the Model 3 listed for the 2020 model year. Edmonds had all...

    Changing lanes... a struggle session

    My Model X still refuses to reliably change lanes when I am in Autosteer. I have figured out that if I am driving with a bright setting sun flashing through trees on the driver side, it will refuse to change lanes. I get that. It is functionally blind at that point. However, on a normally sunny...

    Screens go dark again

    I have read that this is a recurring "thing", but driving down the road and having your car reboot in front of you is extremely disconcerting. Is this truly normal activity? Last week, I had just left the office, heading home. I was listening to a podcast from my Bluetooth-connected iPhone and...

    Statistics from my Wall Charger?

    Is anyone aware of how I can get information from my Wall Charger, such as date and time, length of charge, KWh consumed, car VIN, etc? I bet it is available, I just don't know how to get it.

    Do you wipe down the plug at the Supercharger?

    I have been wondering whether others are concerned about the presence of coronavirus at Superchargers. So, I thought it would be cool to see what everyone's sanitation habits are when they pull in for a charge. I haven't really noticed whether others are sanitizing the plug since most folks...

    Bigger buttons?

    They say that size doesn't matter, but when you are driving down the road and you want to press the PLAY icon to start your favorite podcast or whatever you have up on your mobile device, I find that the icon (the right pointing black arrowhead) is often too small to hit with my finger. When...

    Am I missing something? SiriusXM tuning.

    When I tap into my SiriusXM radio, I can select the shortcut buttons but if I am listening to Channel 125 and I want to listen to Lithium on Channel 34, the only way I can get there is hold the left arrow down and "scroll" down almost 100 stations. Did I lose the knob or am I not seeing the...

    My first flat tire - UI fail...

    Last Saturday I was beginning a 215 mile journey in my 1.5 month old Model X. We were on the Interstate about 30 miles from home when the car started shaking. I know the road, so I know that the highway is smooth on this stretch. Having probably a million miles under my belt, tire deflation came...
