Same thing happened to me. Each entity I dealt with (used car dealer, Tesla service center, Tesla customer support) were all very sympathetic, recognized that it was a poor situation to put a new owner in with little that could be done to work around it, and all thought that an exception or...

OP here. I indeed have a 5-seater, and until reading the responses in this thread, had no idea there were HVAC system differences based on seat configuration. That's good information to have, but I don't think that's been an issue for me in general. I've driven it all summer in very hot...

This happened to me as well, upgrading to 2021.24.4 from the prior version. At least 3 or 4 failed installs, after the install started and got about 30% complete. Every few days, the car would decide it was time to try again, and it would fail again. I've never had this problem before. Then...

I had a recent experience in my 2020 Model X (Raven) that I wanted to share. I was driving an extended period on a hot day (100+ degrees), and over the course of a couple of hours, the A/C gradually got less and less effective. I could hear the compressor screaming (as it tends to do normally...

On my 2020 Raven with 20" wheels, the fronts were down to 2 (basically, almost bald) evenly across the tread, after 26k miles. The rears had plenty of tread (not sure of the measurement), but had to be replaced because the inside of each tire was worn at the edge uniformly, such that the steel...

This happens to me consistently when transitioning from Pacific to Mountain - it just stays on Pacific. Going between Mountain and Central, or from Mountain to Pacific (when it was correctly on Mountain because it had been in Central since the last time it was in Pacific), it works fine. I...

<< After 2 months, I received the permanent plates... but no title or registration or those stickers you put on the plate. >> Where did the plates come from? AFAIK, plates in California are issued by DMV and are assigned to a particular vehicle. What car and what owner does DMV think the...

I very narrowly missed hitting a cow with my Model X with AutoPilot engaged. It was dark and the cow was black, so it wasn't visible very far in advance. The car was driving the speed limit (35 mph in this case) and there were no other cars around. The cow was slowly crossing the road from...

Maybe there's something wrong with my fob, but unless I've unlocked the car with the fob immediately before entering, I ALWAYS get the "fob not in vehicle" error. My solution is to double-click the roof of the fob. I half-way thought that's just the way it works, and half way thought something...

Why wouldn't it be covered by the warranty? It's not a "normal wear" item.

If you had an alert to "change the battery" and you had a sulfur smell, this sounds like an issue with the 12V lead acid battery, not the battery pack that actually powers the car. The 12V battery is just a regular car battery, like is found in any other car. Whatever issue it had isn't...

What DO they claim the L and/or red underline mean? They must mean something if some have them and some don't.

Yes, that would provide good skin cancer protection, but then you wouldn't be able to think that you're the cool kid on the block because of your tinted windows and justify it by claiming it's for your health. I don't think that laws against tinted windows are primarily there for law...

Well, you did turn it up to 11. It's bound to be loud.

That's very informative. You restated what I already said in my question, and didn't answer my question. Thanks!

I understand what you're saying about them having an evolving configuration for their cars, but they do have model years at least in the legal sense. The Certificate Of Origin that comes with the car from the factory has a model year on it, and that's what will appear on the title and...

If it's the case that the trunk 12V stays on always, that's great news as far as I'm concerned (perhaps with a cutoff if the battery goes below 20%). Some people would want it to stay on all the time, such as people that want to have a refrigerator without having to get an external battery unit...

No - 100D

I paid $928 for 6 months with Nationwide for a new Model X, and that's with the liability bumped up to $300k. That did include the multi-car discount and probably some other discounts for having other policies, but I doubt it would be anywhere near $1700 without those.

You didn't provide very many details. When I get that message, I find that double-clicking the roof of the fob once or twice fixes the problem. Since there are several failure modes that result in the same message, that may not work in your case.

I think it's likely that the sensor is in the handle because that's the component that's at risk of overheating due to a less-than-optimal connection. That is, if the connection between the handle and the car is loose (such as a worn socket on the car), corroded or dirty, or just poorly seated...

I have what seems to be a slightly different problem than most here. I normally unlock the car with a double-tap on the roof part of the fob, get in and, drive away. But, if I linger inside the car for more than just a few minutes, then the "Fob not in car - can't drive" message comes up, even...
