Mine was also placed in the rear window but I am in ohio and it seems fine there. I just noticed though that they no longer include a model x plate frame? I dont see the option to buy one either... guess Ill find some generic one from the parts store?

As a 22 plaid x owner who took a nice bath in resale value, I personally have a devalued car but tesla as a brand just became more competitive in the marketplace. As more EVs join the market, I figure they’ll get more aggressive with their costs. They have one of the highest profit margins in...

So after doing a little digging I believe those rates that you have published are for excess credits that have not been used after 1 calendar year. “In the unlikely event that a customer has unused energy credits after a full calendar year, DEF will cash out the energy credits at a wholesale...

Thank you Harry this is very informative. Sounds like I’ll need to have quite a few powerwalls for whole home backup but I do believe one of my panels has most of the critical items on it(main ac and kitchen). So I guess I could get away with 1 on that panel? How many powerwalls did you end up...

I see but with no powerwalls, its fine? I am a little confused on how you're envisioning the setup. Theres 3 sub panels, 2 for the house and 1 for the pool. The biggest draws in the house are the AC units and pool pump. I believe one ac is on one panel and the other is on the 2nd panel with the...

Too much solar for one powerwall meaning I would be required to add multiple or can I get away with one and net meter the rest back into the grid? If I get one installed can I mix and match v2s and v3s later on? Just wondering how I should do this to prep for future powerwall expansion...

So I am nearing the completion of all the documents and permitting to get started on my solar install. I am wondering if I should ask to add a power wall now or wait til power wall v3 comes out to add it? currently my system size is going to be 17.425kW in Florida and will be net metering back...

I’d be curious to see how it looks head on with light show. Older X lights turned on and off the individual led reflectors to the music which looked cool. I wonder if they are able to mimic that with the led cluster behind the projectors?

I bought the 48in versions and the way I have it setup, the suction mounts are right at the edge of the bar in the front and a couple inches of space in the rear. Gives me enough room to fit 3 kayaks comfortably on the roof.

Something about the individual reflector leds looks cooler to me imo. The 2 giant projectors look to me off for some reason. I guess it’s the trade off for more even light output.

Yes I think these threads don’t apply to 99% of people and it’s surprising how many well versed tesla enthusiast I’ve talked who have 0 clue about turning on headlights or parking lights manually. Theres a small handful of people that enjoy the aesthetic of running drl and fogs as it gives the...

If this is the new norm and not a bug then yes I agree there should at least be a warning. But not only immediately after you open the door but also a push notification and also the ability to turn off the lights in the app.

Legally this makes the most sense that when parking lights are toggled on they should remain on. However when you having parking lights on and go into drive, they automatically switch to auto. It should also go the other way around where if you have parking lights on in drive, they should...

In auto…

How have they been holding up? Did you get the 48in or 60in version?

Parking lights are not auto. They are manual. DRLs are auto. This thread came to existence because after the update 2023.12 update, parking lights that are manually turned on no longer automatically turn off after leaving the car and will stay on even under 20% battery.

Quote from the original poster below: You have to turn on parking mode MANUALLY and they did turn off automatically when you got out until 2023.12.*

Yeah that’s why I’m assuming there’s not going to be a correction to it and this is the new norm for us guys that like to run parking and fogs in dusk instead of blinding everyone including myself with the bright low beams unnecessarily. Oh well

Literally everyone is complaining about the lights staying on when you manually select anything other than “auto” so I’m not sure what you’re going on about. And reread what I said, I stated that they could revert just the part of the update that this thread is about where any other mode other...

I am wondering if we all open a service ticket and complain, they will revert the 2023.12 update part for the parking lights. This is not a one off issue happening to a few people. if you are on 2023.12.* the parking lights will stay on indefinitely if you toggle them on in drive and then...

I finally decided to update to 2023.12.1.1 after postponing for the longest time and just noticed this as well... I like running just fog lights when its dusk as the matrix lights tends to be a bit bright and now I walked back to my car after like 2 hours and noticed the foglights were still...

Idk i think my model x plaid has some nice luxuries when I compare it to my A8L. Like i get annoyed now when I walk up to my A8 and my brain freezes for a couple seconds waiting for the door to open up for me, then I realize I have to open it myself. Also think the air suspension on the X feels...

most massaging chairs in a lot of cars are pointless until you get to flagship models. I love the massage in my A8 but I maybe use them like once a month so it wasn't a deal break in my plaid x. Every other "massage" seats I've been in just play around with lumbar in an annoying way without a...

Idk what that means, I tried to help as best I could with an easy check. If it’s not the rear penthouse seal then idk.

I had this exact issue where there was a high pitched whining sound around 40-50mph just enough to where it sounded like I had tinnitus. Absolutely drove me nuts. A tech went on a ride along with me and immediately knew what the sound was. We pulled over and he lifted up the rear seat cushion...

looks like sapphire is the new king of the streets

the m3 rwd will likely stick with CATL batteries for some time so you got the max credit $3750 for being assembled in NA but wont get the other $3750 for the battery component. You also got this up front at POS instead of getting in 2024 when you file your 2023 taxes. They may cut prices across...

When is your build date? I also thought they were starting to ship out with the new tail lights

Makes sense. I ordered it less than a week ago and they're saying it's ready for pick up so I'm assuming it's something they already had in inventory? This car is for my aunt who is in NJ so it's being picked up there.

any way to find the build date from vin#? got a vin and want to make sure its not a reject. f4227xx

Yeah I was pretty confused about that as well but I believe Highway Assist will be coming to basic DreamDrive. Currently only Dream Drive Pro has lane centering enabled but most of the cars they've sold came with Dream Drive Pro included or optioned to get ahead of the line. I am assuming they...

your ad says michelin pilot sport tires but the pictures show pirellis?

its a good watch, they compare the motors to the plaid and the taycan. lucid motors are very efficient and advanced. just looking at the way they do the windings and package everything with the inverter and gearbox into a tiny little like almost basketball sized package its pretty mind blowing...

i think lucid cared more about luxury in terms of nvh which is why they went with the trunk design over the hatch. Trunks naturally cancel out a lot of nvh noise and on a road tripper that can get up to 500+ miles of range, thats a pretty critical aspect. I think theres plenty of room when you...

lol he said they went from 37k pre order to 34k pre orders but only delivered 2282 vehicles. that sounds like a marketing rounding ploy not anything nefarious. Also id wager a majority percentage of those pre orders are people like me who have one at the $77k price and also converted their pre...

Feel like most articles I’ve read from auto evolution are anti ev/anti tesla. I blocked it from Google amp news page because it was just pure hatred. Just Google “autoevolution.com tesla” and you’ll see it’s just mainly AP crash stories and how the car is unsafe. Edit: here is the white paper...

Yep that’s correct. I just matched the dip switches from the big linear remote to the mini keychain ones and then use the keychain ones to program homelink. Tesla instantly picked up the keychain remote and now it works without any remote.

$130k for a plaid sounds right? https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?listingId=656124371 There’s one right now if you want it. Pretty much brand new and has a bunch of options like OP. They can be found and yeah the whole luxury car market is tanking quite a bit. I got...

How were you able to squeeze 5 icons? Is it only on certain phones?

For $3500 to upgrade to a performance I think that’s a no brainer. You get the faster acceleration, better brakes and track mode which gives you more control and fine tuning of your drivetrain and regen braking. Track mode is the biggest selling point imo but if you don’t ever plan on cruising...

Maybe not 0-60 but the 60-130 passing power is where the plaid is mind blowing. Also you pay a premium for the plaid badge just to ward off any noisy super cars thinking they’re cool. Doesn’t matter what pulls up, they see the plaid badge and instantly know they’ll get embarrassed if they try...

I currently own an myp with matrix and a model x plaid and comparing those two headlights, the matrix actually is a little dimmer. Now that’s a loaded statement when actually the matrix lights are much wider beam pattern with an even spill minus the notches which leave a blank spot in the road...

Yeah that seems pretty good. I came across a video of someone doing a range test against both seems like theres about a 10% decrease in range with the hitch vs 20% with the roof box at 70mph but id imagine that gets exponentially worse at 80+mph. Im more worried about range impacts in an EV...

interesting, do you see any decrease in range due to the roofbox? I would think anything stuck behind the vehicle would be encapsulated in a vacuum and drag would be negligible compared to having your coefficient of drag increased by having large items above your car which would only amplify...

Pretty sure its fairly easy to find an IS sitting at a dealership at or below msrp now. The market isnt the same as it was earlier this year. Luxury cars arent as hard to find as they used to be and interest rates are high enough now to curb demand for them. probably looking at 5+% on a new 2023...

I haven’t had a need to use a rooftop box or trailer hitch mounted box but I would think a trailer hitch mounted box would be preferably for efficiency no? I’ve rode in cars with roof boxes before and it seems like they always have a constant whistle which I would find annoying. Personally I’d...

Loving my X plaid so far, hopefully it stays reliable. 60-130mph in 5 seconds is a wild feeling.

This is why I ordered a base model air knowing it would get delivered last hoping they worked out all the bugs and kinks by then. I think theres a decent amount of people running into software issues frequently and that would probably infuriate me if I spent over $100k on a car. Of course it...

You paid for the full FSD package on a lease you can’t buy out?
