    Model X LR and Plaid Brake Upgrade Now Available?

    One of the issues I put on my service ticket during my X's visit last week was that my brake pedal had become very "squishy" and it now takes a lot more pressure to make the car come to a complete stop with the brake pedal. At first, they suggested I might need the new upgraded brake pads (for...

    Plaid Vibration around 38-42MPH....

    Without reading 60+ pages, has anyone discussed the vibration that happens when first driving the car after being parked for a while? This vibration seems to disappear after a few minutes. My take is that the air suspension compressor recharges the air in the tank, and the compressor vibration...

    Toyota Sienna had more room than Tesla Model X & Y

    Not to sound rude, but you are comparing two different types of vehicles. The Sienna is a mini-VAN, not an SUV. Minivans are designed primarily for hauling stuff/people. The Model X is an SUV with a more aerodynamic shape for better overall range. It is also smaller than the Sienna. If you...

    2023 MY brake pedal rattle

    This issue isn't isolated to the Model Y. I have a 2022 Model X Plaid and complained about a rattle in the dash and the tech who test drove the car with me knew exactly what it was. It was this same brake pedal pin rattle.

    How long did it take you to get used to the stalk-less turn signals?

    Changing the way a device works should be an improvement. I have both a Model X Plaid and a Mini Cooper SE. I have to say that although I have learned to use the stalkless buttons on the Model X, using the stalks on the Mini is still easier and more intuitive. I don't think the yoke and...

    Wiki Model X Refresh Issues Thread

    I got the same "Steering assist reduced" on my 2022 MXP, and it wouldn't go away for three days. The car was steering normally, but I made a service request and the earliest date was a week out. The message went away after three days but returned four days later while I was in a carwash...

    Refresh X audio stutter after the latest firmware update

    I think we all just need to put in service tickets in the app. If they see enough people complaining, maybe they will finally fix it. I too still have the issue.

    Wiki Model X Refresh Issues Thread

    This is normal. Once the seats go back beyond a specific point, you are hearing the locking mechanism click. This prevents the seats from moving forward during a crash. On the pre-refresh model X (I had a 2016), you would get a warning message on the center display if the seats were pushed...

    Refresh X audio stutter after the latest firmware update

    Has anyone else had an issue with Spotify and Slacker stuttering when first getting in the car when it's asleep after the last firmware update? It will stutter for about a minute or two when I first pull out of my garage in the morning (or in a parking lot if the car has gone to sleep). Seems...

    SoCal to the Bay Area - Supercharging Route Suggestions

    I got to be the guinea pig when I picked up my Signature Model S in October of 2012 from the factory and drove home to LA. There were only three chargers with only one stall at each location in Gilroy, Harris Ranch and Tejon Ranch. Back then, the guess-o-meter range predictions were scary, and...

    Curtain Airbag Recall - 2021-22 Model X

    Just an FYI I randomly put in a service request asking about the airbag recall, and they replied that they had them in stock and I had them replaced yesterday. So if you have a Model X and received the recall letter and never heard anything, put in a service request.

    Wow. I hadn't checked on this thread in a while (since I took delivery in January), but I thought waiting 360 days was a long time and that Tesla would have ramped up production by now and that wait times would have dropped. I guess I was wrong. It's worth the wait. My 2022 Plaid is a great...

    I highly doubt it's in between the panes of glass as I'm sure it's a robotic manufacturing process with no humans involved. You might try some mildly abrasive glass cleaner (Amazon.com) as this stuff is great at cleaning off things stuck to glass.

    I guess I can try "Joe Mode" and I did assume the change in volume it was part of the adaptive sound leveling. It just seems like their sound leveling processing isn't very good.

    Yes, I can hear the same wheezing sound sometimes when at a stoplight or parked. I think it may be the HVAC motors adjusting the internal louvers for the airflow, as someone else mentioned.

    The mobile service guy thought that too and tried to remove (unsuccessfully) the back cover. He also tried to make sure it was banged in as tightly as possible. This didn't fix the creaking at all. It really seems like it is something inside to upper portion of the seat.

    Just to follow up on my previous thread, I had the mobile service guy come out and look at the driver's seat creaking and center console issues. They are just going to order a new driver's seat and entire center console as they don't think they'd be able to take the seat apart to figure out...

    I have this too. At first I thought it was the tires rumbling on rough pavement, but it does seem to happen on all surfaces right after starting the car so I assume it's the air compressor filling up the air tank.

    Yes, this seems to be an issue with the new door and actuator design. My 2016 Model X didn't have this problem. Not sure it's fixable without redesigning the doors or using different actuators. I've just gotten used to slamming these new doors or making sure they are open beyond a foot before...

    I really hope this isn't the "shudder" issue that's been around forever with the Model X (and Model S to some extent). My 2016 Model X had 5 sets of half-shafts replaced for this issue, and it would always come back. I'm really hoping this new Raven+ suspension in the 2022's doesn't have the...

    Nope, definitely from the upper seat area. You can even use your hands when not sitting in the seat and make it creak by pushing it. It almost seems to be in the area where the speakers/mics for the noise canceling hardware may be.

    I think it has also been reported by others, but my driver's seat now has a creak coming from the upper area around my upper back/shoulers. It's quite annoying as it's right by my ears.

    So far after taking delivery on Friday of my Plaid X, I've found three minor issues. First, the USB C ports in the center console either don't work or aren't actually there. It looks like there are ports there but when I try to plug in a cable it just slips through the hole. Second, the...

    Unfortunately, I was the only Model X (I saw) taking delivery at the time. I got (slightly) special treatment at President of TeslaClubLA by taking direct factory delivery instead of the regular delivery at the new delivery/service center down the street from the factory.
