I didn’t see where they named the wavelength other than High Frequency but that band runs 3-30MHz, there may be radio interference issues to solve along the way.

But mobile connector only allows 32A (<8kW)

“set climate and preheat battery”- that’s exactly what it does. The battery is heated enough to accept regen, not enough to accept the full output of a dcfc.

I’ve been given 2 different lengths at the SC, the longer ones could be trimmed down if they stick out.

I have the previous WR G3 SUV and they are great winter tires, these G4 are probably better still.

1- The FSD should update OTA unless you prevent it like the current owner is doing. 2- You won’t get free supercharging once it’s put on your app/ removed from current owners app 3-Your money, your choice. Like choosing color or seating, all subjective. I’d get the X.

Good question. Some time when you’re driving to a SC try putting it in park for a minute and see if it stops preconditioning.

The cameras are there, the screen is there and shows 3 cameras when reversing. Seems like an OTA update could make that happen if they are serious about improving the vehicles over time that way.

Agree it looks like coolant. Get it fixed asap, low coolant in a Tesla can require a tow truck, when warns it you it means you’re about to get stranded.

I don’t think battery replacement is a thing most owners ever have to worry about but there are extended warranties on the market if you feel the need. I’m looking at X Care because there are so many systems in the MX, if also covers the battery but if it was a la carte I might skip the battery...

I’ve had my own problems with China shipments. I use this one from amazon for my dogs and I’m happy with it, goes through the wash nicely in 2 pieces. It should be fine with kids too. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09J7ZD8RT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

Check around the area and you’ll find Tesla’s wait time is in line with the top body shops. Your wish for ‘1 day or 2 max’ is not realistic, and a ‘quick’ repair still has to wait in line with all the others. At least at Tesla service they don’t have other brands in line ahead of you. I’m...

I wonder if PSE ever considered that people would purposely charge at peak demand hours and rates in the hope of getting a little rebate.

Do you know of a link to describe how to get s3xy button to do this (on a prerefresh X)? I’m mechanical enough but not tech savvy.

1. Locate convenient dcfc 2. Navigate to it 3. Preheat The car protects the battery with the same limits as navigating to a supercharger. Not asking for much here. A few years ago we had to manually initiate preconditioning on the screen, basically bring that back as an option, and of course...

They could easily allow the driver to initiate the battery heating, and the car allows it within parameters to protect the battery.

My 21 MXP built 12/2020 has the H pack, sticker range was 341 miles. This is prerefresh, the refresh came out in the fall 2021.

Maybe Tesla is discouraging DCFC competition by doing this aggressively. It’s not like competitors are popping up everywhere.

How is that done?

I don’t think Tesla puts that much thought into what owners experience when charging.

I doubt manufacturers will standardize charge port location. They never did with ICE gas caps. Gas stations have long enough hoses, charging stations just need long enough cables.

They’re your cars, drive whatever you want

I don’t know about CCS1 adapter being a smart purchase for most people. I was an early buyer through Delivered Korea and other than one test I’ve never needed it. For some people in some areas, sure, the rates may even be lower.

The Tesla gen 3 Wall Connector has selectable access but that feature wouldn’t be useful to an airbnb, its more for say an office where only the same group of cars can use it. In your case the cheap and easy way is to open the circuit between occupants. Have the cleaners shut off the breaker...

There’s also the issue of most homes not having the available capacity, it would take more than half of a typical 200A service.

When you factor in the cost of the dcfc equipment I bet the need drops right off.

You might prefer touch-up paint on a tiny chip versus not having your new MX for 2 weeks.

Does level 3 mean any DC charging or just DC fast charging? I would look at a <10kW DC that used DC (solar) input. My thinking is that there would only be a loss at the dc-dc converter as opposed to the rectifier and dc-dc conv. the car uses to charge on AC. Not saying I’d buy one but I’d...

How do you program a MX fob to a different MX? Will a SC do that?

Another easy to tell difference is the trim, legacy models had chrome and afaik all the refresh MX have black.

If I had solar panels this plan might be very attractive but just using grid power the peak rate is much too high.

When non- Teslas use the magic dock to charge I believe they choose the stall # on the app to activate charging and billing. Will that also activate the stall at a non-magic dock SC?

Two sets of oem front wheels? My winter setup is a square 20”, I think my wheels are 8.5” but could have gone wider, tires are 265/45/20 Rest of the year I’m on stock staggered 22s but I don’t think there’s any fitment issue using fronts all around.

How long did it take Murrays for the repair? I didn’t learn my lesson the first time Metro had my MX for over 2 months so when I had really minor left rear QP damage I went back to Metro and it took over one month. They damaged some plastic trim under the front bumper some how. I am interested...

OP do you mean map symbols to show speed trap camera Locations? I’ve had 2 of those tickets in MX so I haven’t seen any

Are they not meant to be given out? What’s the point if everyone just uses their own code?

^^^ sk7671 You might like the 5 seat bench as-is, I have never had complaints about the backseat but it’s BS not to have a center armrest, that still bothers me. Tallest passenger I can think of that rode in back is about 6’3 and was fine. I doubt you’ll find an aftermarket bench let alone a...

If you haven’t yet, decide on 5/6/7 seats for your use, it makes a big difference if you have child seats, dogs, go car camping, load up with boxes, or whatever. Decide on color and interior you‘ll be happy with. I regret buying FSD but I’m happy with a round wheel. You may want a second set of...

This is the layout at Burlington Wa Costco Drive SC, suitable for just about any charging port location. There shouldn’t be much problem with blocked stalls if they keep improving the setup like this. I was towing and charged there without blocking any stalls and it was crowded at the time...

Care to elaborate? I have a year to decide on getting extended coverage.

“Oil pump failure due to extreme viscosity change. ” Real life example?

I’ve never leased a car before, isn’t part of idea that you can walk away from a depreciated vehicle?

1st advice is decide on X or S. If you want an apple why look at oranges. 2nd advice is do some test drives including new. You might find one pedal driving is worth going Raven or newer, or maybe not.

2021 MX (legacy/pre-refresh with vertical screen) were built Nov/Dec 2020- Jan 2021 then the X line was retooled for the refresh MX which appeared about Oct 2021 with yoke, horizontal screen, etc.

I’ve read of an MX with a custom wheelchair lift in the 2nd row so there must be means to transport a giant dog. Sorry no link, it’s been a few years.

I’ve used my 5 seater both ways, seat up and down for my dogs, it’s very versatile. Lately mostly with the seat up and a nice seat protector. They probably prefer laying on their beds with the seat flat but they load easier with the seat up, and I can keep my gear accessible behind the seat.

But when you are choosing a motel wouldn’t you always pick the one with reasonable destination charging? Destination charging is probably a cheaper way for them to fill the rooms than big advertising, it could be break-even or profitable. I take your point about (no charging) still being...

What indicates that the ‘era’ is endong?

I would get a service appointment before it gets worse, it may be a simple thing like an untorqued fastener. Better to catch it now.
