    MYP 2023, trunk only opens from app or screen

    Yeahnah, every time I read this I understand it to be backwards. But, trying both settings I still cannot get the trunk to unlock with the button when at home and not having the fob or phone app with me. It used to work fine without needing all that. I would just walk out to the garage and the...

    Trunk Lock Behavior Changed

    I beg to differ with you. I have tried both settings of Driver Door Unlock and still cannot get the trunk to open with the button when nearby with the fob or phone. Something changed but I don't remember what software upgrade this started with. The wife is very annoyed with this. She has to get...

    Anyone know how to remove tire 2021 Model X?

    My 3 month old rear tires are Continental Sport with no foam. $100 cheaper than what Tesla has sold me im the past and I notice no difference in sound.

    Anyone know how to remove tire 2021 Model X?

    I could not get rasp tool to penetrate. Maybe if I could have unmounted the tire but I'm not set up with proper tools to do that. Hopefully one day for next flat. So, a trip to Walmart in my other vehicle and I decided to try Fixaflat. First time trying this stuff but after letting the can empty...

    Anyone know how to remove tire 2021 Model X?

    I pulled a nail out of the center of the rear passenger tire. Raising the car and in jack mode, Maybe I can plug it. If not, what tools do I need and how to do it?

    WARNING For Those Installing Aftermarket Arms, Links, etc such as N2itive, Mountian Pass, etc.

    Let me add to this thread as this is where I got the info on N2itive which solved a couple of problems I have had since day one of buying this car. I bought the 2021 MX on December 11th, 2020. The rear end had a noise, a 'lub-lub-lub' sound at 20mph and 40mph and would go away at 60mph. I didn't...

    How's it going with this Macsboost rear camber kit? Can you give us an update?

    Model x adjustable camber arms 2022

    I'm a bit angry at the moment but I need this corrected and is why I came here for help. Angry because I've been pumping this rear driver's tire every few days with 3-4 lbs and wondering if I had a nail or something. After laying down on the driveway and looking up at the wheel well and seeing...

    Any ideas? My 2018 MX doors won’t open from outisde

    Yeah, I've got the same problem with my 2021 MXLR. Been a couple of months now. Checked everything multiple times. What or where do I find 'Driver door unlock mode'? I'm thinking that pertains to the driver door but it opens when I approach with the FOB just like OP's. Seems like this started...

    The shudder problem: Current status (end of February 2020)

    I have an appointment for Jan. 9th, 2023 for front axles replacement. I originally took the 2020 MX LR in to report an 'out of round' sound coming from what I believe is the rear driver's side. You can really hear it get loud at around 20mph. Now, when I step on it, you hear a grinding and...

    Suggestion: A Way to Jump Start or Boost Another Ev

    Hey All, Just thought of this while looking out across the street and seeing the neighbor's NIssan Leaf. Has been sitting there for several days now and normally they keep it in the garage. What if their battery was dead and they are waiting on Nissan Support or something or other to get this...

    In Home Wheel Balancing – the Ultimate Tesla Accessory for the Have Everything Do-It-Yourselfer?

    What a terrific idea. I only wish I had space in my garage for one of these machines. I would be totally into it. You see, I have had this issue of an 'out of round' noise from the rear axle. It sounds and feels like it is the rear driver's side. This has been since day one, now two years ago...

    Scheduling Service

    There was a WaWa installation that was completed about 15-20 minutes North of me. I went to test one out but after seeing the charge cost after a minute or so I stopped it and went back home to charge. At least they are getting closer if not slowly.

    Model S Plaid leaves me stranded; almost 30 days in service - No lemon law. What now?

    In production there can be a bad batch that gets out to the consumer. Maybe a soldering station did some cold solder joints or there was a bad batch of electronic components that did not last the expected specification. It happens from time to time. Bad wiring connectors or connections too...

    And then yesterday he tweets, 'Hustling to roll out the rocket to test the outer 20 engines', or something close to that.

    Part delay - backordered

    Can you or did you ask J&B for details of why it is taking so long? Yeah, we know they will tell you, 'supply chain issues', but, maybe a little more insight would be helpful to you? Like, are they having a problem getting the parts from Tesla? Does Tesla give them any details on where the parts...

    Tesla changed their Alternate Transportation Policy ?!?!

    We love the car, the tech, the experience. But, service centers are another thing. Now we have Austin pumping out more vehicles and there was an article on Teslarati where more emphasis was going to be placed on creating more service centers. Seems Tesla should have planned this out a little...

    Refreshed 2021/2022 Model X Doors

    It is a legacy with the vertical screen. I still would like to know how to get rid of the annoying notification to set up I click the notification and it goes to the 'Set Up Phone Key' showing a key card and a blue rectangular box at the bottom with white font showing 'Pair'. I have tried to...

    Model S Plaid leaves me stranded; almost 30 days in service - No lemon law. What now?

    It was several months after buying our 2021 Model X that the 12v battery went dead. The tow truck driver on his way called and told me that if I could put a charger on the battery it might bring it to life to be able to back out of the garage. I was able to do this just fine. After three days...

    Refreshed 2021/2022 Model X Doors

    We're talking about the MX, right? I only was given two fobs with my 2021 LR MX, no key cards. But, I keep getting notifications to set up my android phone as a key. I cannot figure out how that is done.

    Lowering amperage a good thing?

    Lowering amperage a good thing?

    I don't think it matters what the BMS or anything else in the charging circuitry in the car itself uses. TeslaFi and or a AC meter like I installed from eBay that correlates closely with TeslaFi, gives total kwh used for a charging session. That's the number we can only use to figure our costs...

    Calculating Charging Cost at Home

    I had to buy some of those mini breakers whereby I could double up two circuits per slot in the panel to make room for two separate breakers to power the meter from. I used some solid small gauge wiring and drilled a couple of holes through the side of the panel. This way I was able to mount a...

    Regenerative Braking, How Much Does it Actually Do?

    56%. That's pretty good. Better than I expected. Do you do a lot of level or mountainous driving? It would be cool to be able to click on something on the display to show daily, weekly, monthly, annual stats. Or maybe in the app. Thanks for sharing this info.

    Why PPF?

    I was one of those that said, 'Fxxk it' and did the full wrap for the MYLR a month after getting the car. Within a couple of months I backed into the garage like I always do, and wasn't paying enough attention and scraped the rear quarter panel in two places against the workbench. I have not...

    Optimal battery temps for Level 2 charging

    I noticed after reducing the charge current down to 30a from 48a, that I don't hear the relays clicking off and on nor the fans turning off and on like I used to. I usually spend a bit of time cleaning the Florida bugs off the front of the car each evening after the wife returns from her day...

    Lowering amperage a good thing?

    I have lowered my charge to 30a from 48a mainly to decrease the heat loss from the Telsa wall connector cable. Not that it is a big deal but I also believed it might increase battery longevity. I'm not coming across any owners that have had their battery replaced in any forums or discussions I...

    What is this? Inside of the doors.

    It does look like mold. You say it is oily and I wonder if it is something the manufacturer put into the leather, like Neatsfoot oil to try and preserve it. If you haven't already, try contacting service to see what they say. Might have to take it in for them to look at it. Or, maybe there is a...

    Section 179 - does mileage matter?

    I would talk to a cpa tax guy about that. From what I got back from my tax guy is I would have to use a five year depreciation schedule on it. In addition you would track and log mileage to be able to deduct the cents per mile offered by the IRS. Not sure if it is still fifty five cents a mile...

    2021 Model 3 LR broke down and wouldn’t drive

    Is there any indication of when the 12v battery is beginning to show signs of failure? Not charging fully, not able to charge, etc.? Seems this is a particular area of concern. Maybe there is a way to carry a portable 12v battery pack with lighter plug that will plug into the rear lighter socket...

    Calculating Charging Cost at Home

    Update! I have installed the eBay power energy meter that I did buy this power energy meter and hooked it up in no time at all. I have logged two charging sessions with it and it appears to be very accurate to what TeslaFi reports. I am very happy you recommended this little item. Many thanks!!!

    Calculating Charging Cost at Home

    While visiting my older brother in Clearwater the other night we got some Chic-Fil-A and next door was a WaWa store. Ron was telling me to pull in at the WaWa and have a look at the new Tesla charging stations. I think there were ten of them. It was my first time using a Supercharger and while...

    Calculating Charging Cost at Home

    Having taken in consideration all the above, I did another calculation and came up with the $3.92 approximation. I then calculated what the same mileage would have cost me in gas for my old '99 Nissan Pathfinder which got 16.5 miles per gallon. Using my local current gasoline costs at the pump I...

    Calculating Charging Cost at Home

    Sagebrush, I'm still trying to wrap my head around all of this. I regularly see the charging rate at around 38-39 miles per hour with the 240v and 47a wall connection. So, to figure this I divide the 165 miles needed to full charge by let's just say 38, which gives .42, rounded off. That's 4...

    Thank you all for replying. I like the idea of that power/amp meter to record each charging session. At least with that I can create a paper or google sheets log if nothing else and maybe be able to figure what it is costing me each month for charging. People are always asking me how much to...
