    Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

    Reviving a ~7-month old question because I have relevant experience... This issue arose about 12 months after we took delivery of our MX refresh. We had already surrendered to the reality that this issue (or something similar) will require us to clean our Model Y coils with kool-it every...

    Model X snowboard rack for more than 4 snowboards?

    It looks like this tilts back for trunk access--have you encountered any issues getting into the back? How is the clearance at superchargers?

    Model X snowboard rack for more than 4 snowboards?

    I looked into this a bit before going with a solution that puts sliding tools inside the car. The downside to this solution is that it effectively limits us to four passengers. If I were dead-set on an external rack (in order to fit more than four passengers or for any other reason), I would...

    Wiki Model X Refresh Issues Thread

    Is the new filter the same thickness as the old filter? I assume that a thicker filter with a smaller area could provide the same surface area and thus avoid a reduction to replacement time (iirc, they increased the maintenance schedule to specify replacement every three years instead of every...

    Wiki Model X Refresh Issues Thread

    It really depends on your tire alignment, which can vary from car to car. As far as I can tell, the "medium" setting is better than "low," but I believe the software automatically sets it back to low once you reach ~55mph. Similarly, it lowers from "very high" ~10mph and it lowers from "high"...

    Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

    I think it was, once upon a time...but they lowered self-referrals to 1,000 total miles long before they nixed the program entirely (late-2020 or early-2021, iirc; whereas they didn't scrap the program in its entirety until maybe late summer or early fall of 2021).

    Refreshed 2021/2022 Model X Owners Thread

    I haven't seen it discussed anywhere, but it's likely I've just missed this... Does the redesigned sub-trunk cover not have any way to stand "vertically" on its own? In pre-refresh models, the little "shark fins" that the cover rested on were designed to also serve the function of holding the...

    Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

    Honestly, that would seem par for the course at this point. Wouldn't surprise me if they VINned everyone on 4/2 and retracted on 4/3. No April Fool's joke--just incompetence.

    Dragy times for Plaid and LR

    I agree, but to play devil's advocate for a moment... 1) I wouldn't be surprised at all to learn that they're throttling the MS LR a tiny bit in order to widen the gap between LR & Plaid; 2) The 0.7s difference in 0-60 as measured by Tesla may be less accurate than the 1/4 mile testing by a...

    Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

    I suspect EoQ push is prompting this. They have good certainty on their inventory of build materials and factory labor between now and the end of the month, so they know how many units they can produce and where they will be able to deliver them before April 1. I got a similar text for a Model...

    Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

    How fast were you driving? Range drops off faster than most people realize as speed increases--I think I recall something like, compared to 65mph, you can expect 8% less range @ 70mph; 15-16% less @ 75mph; and 23% less @ 80mph. Granted, even if my recollection is accurate, I would assume that...

    12V Access: Model S 2021 Refresh

    If I recall correctly, there were at least a handful of people who could not find it. It seems possible (if not likely) that this connector is not part of the Model S wiring design, but was included in some builds for unknown reasons (perhaps because they had spare wiring harnesses for the...

    Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

    I have been driving with the yoke for 4 weeks now. I was worried at first but got used to it within the first week or so. That said, I would still switch to a round wheel in a heartbeat. Nothing about the ergonomics feels "better" to me, though I'll admit that I don't have a prefresh S/X to...

    Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

    The order page says that this replacement is not heated (i.e. the heated steering wheel functionality will no longer work). Is this true?

    Refreshed 2021/2022 Model X Owners Thread

    Most folks suggest staying within a range of 10% to 80% state of charge with this time of battery. Even if you exceed that and regularly go 10% to 90%, that's still under 285 miles. If you expect to drive more than 285 miles per day in a vehicle the size of a Model X, you might need to...

    Does anyone in a two-plate state have a no-drill, no-adhesive front license plate bracket/holder/mount recommendation that they've installed? It looks like Snapplate is planning to design one for the refresh with availability beginning in February for pre-orders, but other than that I haven't...

    Wiki Model X Refresh Issues Thread

    I have recently noticed an issue where the buttons/lights on my steering yoke flash brightly for just a moment before going back to their normal brightness level. It happens too quickly for me to be sure, but I think only one side of the wheel/yoke does it at a time. That said, I have noticed...

    Yes, the third row easy entry setting is enabled. Thanks for the insight regarding front seat movement!

    Same issue here with the auto door. I might try turning off the phone connectivity at some point and just using the fob, but the phone is convenient enough without the auto feature that I don’t foresee that “solution” working long-term. I have also had some connectivity issues, but I think that...

    Mine seems to move the second row seats a different amount depending on where the seat in front of it is. The front seats don't move; if the front seat is far enough forward, the second row seat moves forward and tilts forward...if the front seat is further back, the second row seat seems to...

    1. Lots of VINs started to come in early in the week (relatively speaking...still only maybe a dozen?)...including one or two (or three) from folks who ordered as late as June-Oct. 2021. 2. Most VINs disappeared the next day. Mixed messages from Tesla as to why. Some unfortunate folks went...

    Model X plaid white on white with FAD pre price increase reservation for sale. Changed mind.

    Delivery "by February" is also far from guaranteed, as they haven't begun to deliver 5-seaters yet. Also, I'm not sure where OP got the 2.2 second 0-60mph stat from--the website says 2.5 seconds for the plaid.

    Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

    I'm definitely not holding my breath for this, but I believe they announced plans to merge the two S&X production lines into a single line at the end of last year. If so, it seems like the batch-style production (i.e. produce a bunch of cars with black interior, then shift to producing a bunch...

    Active Spoiler after software update?

    Wild speculation here...but wasn't the original Model X (with active spoiler) advertised with a drag coefficient of 0.24? If I remember correctly, the pre-refresh 2021 MX was advertised with a Cd of 0.25. The refresh, however, has returned to 0.24. Evidence that the refresh could have active...

    Major 2021 Model X refresh pending [Update: Unveiled January 27, 2021]

    Range dipped, but charging rate appears to have increased. Old website showed up to 142 miles gained on a 15min charge (main model X page may still show this) vs. newly quoted 175 miles in 15min (seen in one of the configurator's "feature details" sections).
