My 2016 MX does not turn rear fogs off after a trip. I had to do it manually. I have turned the fronts off and on and cannot tell the difference in road illumination. But I need to try them on their own without the headlights.

Cut off by an unexpected explosion?

You are totally correct. It is a problem that we mostly only have in the US. Europeans only change vehicles when practicality dictates, for the most part. Our "trading up" practice is wasteful to the extreme. Most of the world would love to browse our trash. And I have lived that way my...

Of course! We are, or wish to be, early adopters. Meanwhile we drive our LESS impractical Teslas waiting for CT. You still can't justify purchasing most ANY BEV based on cost, maintenance, and fuel. We're all early adopters willing to pay extra and deal with a lot of wormy software. A...

I have similar observations. A couple of years ago the cost of road tripping using pay-per-use Tesla chargers was about the equivalent of driving a 30 MPG car; not unreasonable but not economical by comparison to a Prius. Still, not bad. More recently, gas cars have gotten more economical...

I have my MX front fogs on always (with low-beams, that is) but was unaware that it is objectionable. They are intentionally aimed low to avoid self-blinding from reflection by the fog - the purpose of fog lights. Obviously their purpose is totally defeated when used in conjunction with low...

If you can't get the correct vinyl material, how about a piece of actual white perforated leather? It probably won't be an exact match but it is the 3rd row, after all, and the value of these legacy vehicles is plumeting anyway.

YES. To sum up: not a scam; just a bit over-promised (or under-delivered). We will probably get over it. And it MAY improve! (An encouragement for those of us way down the list such as moi.)

My largest takeaway from Tesla's achievement is not their battery cells, may of which they buy rather than build. It is their battery management system (MS and newer) and the tremendous efficiency gains in technology (octovalve and all the other MY evolution). Most has happened since 2020 and...

Everyone gets their feelings hurt occasionally, sometimes provoking an intensely off-topic response. Still, one thing I appreciate about this forum is how measured most responses are. I see many contrary views posted containing a well-above-average number of mitigating statements. I.e., "my...

I already wrote in painful detail regarding tow mode and its restrictions. There is an alternative approach should the above prove impractical. That same company has a similarly priced ZCI package that connects trailer lights wirelessly. It uses sensors placed along the Left/Right brake...

Correction: Autopilot works as always. Only the blue-icon trailer mode disables AP. Amber icon trailer mode gives you lights AND autopilot. I read where amber tow mode is responding to the light connection load only. How to reliably experience that I do not know. I have idea that...

Let me add something. As an MX owner that HAS the tow package - which is hardware only (bossal hitch) and does NOT have tow mode, a software package. I don't recommend towing with tow mode OFF. This may not be obvious but the effect is NO TRAILER LIGHTS. That seven pin connector is DEAD...

I just installed 2023.12.9.1 on my 03000 VIN 2016 MX and lost the "normal run" position of my active spoiler this morning. It stays folded into the window at all times below 45 mph. The active spoiler is supposed to fully rise anytime the car is on. It also is supposed to drop halfway back at...

1. My public HD radio station had two subchannels with classical music (dot 2) and BBC news (dot 3). Both gone since the update. 2. The main screen media display used to show the length of a podcast or song and a thick progress line. Now it's just a thin line with no other information. If...

Achieving 240 Wh/mi type numbers is much more readily accomplished with sparse use of HVAC. Maybe it is just because the traction drivetrain so efficient but these cars are FAR more affected by the use of heat and air conditioning then gasoline powered cars, especially heat of course (which is...

I am looking for an MX hitch, ball mount, wiring harness.

Inquire of the service center for the factory one with the ability to hide when not in use. There are aftermarket ones available. I have one bought for an MS and never used. I am going see if it can fit my MX.

My thoughts are to use them on a 2016 X 75D in place of my current 20" staggered set-up (9.5" and 9" rims). Use taller tires and avoid so much rim rash. I realize that X is heavier than S but I drive like an old woman. Is this feasible?

I just bought a 2016 seven-seater which will have similar space constraints to the six, if you'd like to check distances. I am seriously considering removing the left and center seats in order to make hauling more practical. I realize that the seats will have to go back in for updates or...

Price? I would pick up.

Did you get a buyer?

I got a P85 Sep 2020 with 94K miles, 19" tires, Atlanta and averaged 248 Wh/mi until the weather turned colder. Since November or so my average is 264 Wh/mi (Jan 2021 at 106K). I will leave B as lifetime (just since Sep) and begin resetting A each month. For now, all numbers are cumulative...

I have a question for the forum members: I have just found an app named TezlabApp, used mostly to record trip data. Does this app have the capability to reduce abuse of the 12 volt battery by putting the car into deep(er) sleep? I now charge mostly at home, using a low night EV rate ($0.02...

I have a 2013 MS which currently has the red C & D DCS-33UNCR battery installed. I acquired the car in Sept at 94K miles and thus have no knowledge of its history. On 6 Nov 20 and at 99,642 miles I got the "service 12 volt battery" alarm. I removed the battery and measured 12.27 volts on it...
