    Advice with private sales?

    I've sold two cars privately on Cars.com. Haven't had any problems.

    Squeaky refresh falcon wing door trim panel

    I had this problem and it was really bad. Chicago Elston SC was able to completely fix it with a FWD adjustment. Just FYI

    New purchase option - Steering Wheel

    Ha! I presumed too much! The transition away from a wheel, with a a yoke being a incremental improvement, is inevitable. Also just better from a user experience perspective: - wider so you can rest your arms more easily and have greater leverage, - more comfortable to rest one's hand on the...

    New purchase option - Steering Wheel

    I think choice is good, but it also slows what I think is a necessary transition. I've had the wheel in an X and had the yoke and for me the yoke is better in most cases. I think a lot of people on twitter who say they hate the yoke aren't using it every day, it's really not a hinderance at all.

    Purchase an used 2020 Model X long range plus

    Ha - sorry - FWD = Falcon Wing Doors. BUT since you bring it up: yeah, all Teslas are Front Wheel Drive most of the time in the sense that AWD only kicks in as/when needed.

    Purchase an used 2020 Model X long range plus

    I have owned both cars. The Model Y is more practical but the ride is harsher (perhaps less so with the new suspension). I have 19" wheels on my MYP and it does help, also makes the steering more direct. The LRP Xs are rock solid build wise as are the FWDs and the ride is silky smooth...

    2022 Model X all weather mats

    Welp - now I have 3 mismatched mats, and I think I'm going to live with that. Coming from a 2021 MX LR Raven to a 2022 MX LR - both 6 seaters: - Rear weather tech mat fits perfectly between the pre and post refresh - Front driver Maxpider 3D fits almost perfectly - but gives critical dead...

    Red T and Letters?

    best method is: plasti-dip with paint on top. Is super durable and also easy to remove. Most tint-shop guys can do.

    Yes, that's the one. Have used it for 2.5 years on Tesla seats and it's perfect. No issues at all.

    Calling 6 seat Model X owners with kids (teenagers)

    I use the leather cleaner from Ammo: INTERIOR, brush it in, then wipe it off with microfiber. It's amazing. Makes seats and contact points matte - basically, if your contact points (bolsters, armrests, wheel) get shiny then you have body oils and dirt in there breaking down the material...

    Calling 6 seat Model X owners with kids (teenagers)

    I always have at least one kid in the third row. Just let them climb around but have trained them not to kick the screen. I think the seats are very durable, so I'm not worried. I also deep clean my seats 2-3x/year which will extend their life and durability.

    FS: 2021 Model X Long Range Plus

    Didn't mean to be rude. I heard from a lot of first-timers who really didn't know what they're getting into and ended up wasting my time. I think people coming from ICE cars have very different expectations/opinions about what matters in a car. Many also get caught up in FSD hype and have...

    FS: 2021 Model X Long Range Plus

    Last call! Very rare 2021 MX LR Plus. Longest Range X ever (longer than the refresh models), latest possible model year with a steering wheel. Lowest asking price among 2021 MX LR Plus...especially with 6 seats. Current/past Tesla owners only please :)

    Re prices: Yes and no. Many, like me, post large price drops over a couple weeks to improve search rank. But yeah, prices are coming down from the summer due to Tesla deliving many 2022s this quarter. Re: insurance, yeah its bad, but I live in a Tesla Insurance state and mine is very cheap...

    Got the $200 voucher in email day before delivery. Cost of mobile connector with adapters was zero (no tax no shipping). None in the car. Got a tow hitch again (I guess that's standard??).

    Delivery day was today. Can't believe it came. Quick recap: ordered Blk/Crm, 6 seat, MX LR with AP, 20"s on 1/4/2020, just two weeks after collecting a 2021 Raven LR X in same config except white exterior. EDD on the 2022X moved ~10 times since ordering. Finally hit my EDD window on 9/7...

    It is 100% this. Funny: I posted about this in this forum a few months ago and was completely dismissed. Now Tesla is really trying to shed less profitable deliveries. FWIW Tesla does read this forum frequently, so the are unlikely to try to screw us given we are on to this.

    Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

    I'm going to start trying to make a stink to Tesla. 18 months is too long to wait to get a car and people who ordered long after me are getting theirs. I am a loyal Tesla customer and have taken every car I have ever ordered from them. I feel like I should get some preferential treatment.

    Model X poll: Long range or Plaid?

    I own performance model Teslas and long range versions. There is no reason to buy a performance Tesla again, for me. The performance is so extreme that my passengers can't handle it, ride is too hard and parts wear faster. Even LR Teslas now also have sports car like performance, so I don't...
