    What to look for in used MX?

    While waiting on my MX, currently scheduled to be delivered in january, I thought I would purchase a used MX with 50,000 or less miles. What questions should I ask and things to examine to assure reasonable range (say, at least 250 miles at 80% charge) and lowest reasonable battery degradation...

    Only 165 miles on full charge in 2018 MX?

    This weekend I rented a 2018 MX to assure I made the correct January delivery decision. I was unpleasantly surprised that the max range I squeezed out over 4 trips was 165 miles. I did aggressively accelerate from time to time (couldn’t resist) & maintained 80-ish MPH, which I know negatively...

    Any way to change color without paying new higher $116K price?

    I was told by my Tesla associate that I could change the color of my MX, scheduled for January 2022 delivery, but my price would increase $11K to the new $116K price. Does anyone know of a work-around to avoid paying the higher price?

    Cancelled delivery appointment, and VIN

    Had a delivery date, but Tesla cancelled 3 days before. I called & was told my car delivery was delayed, but that I was put on “Priority Delivery List”. But just now I noticed my VIN # is gone. Should be worried?

    Acceptable VIN substitute or max mileage?

    My current VIN is 208xx. Had delivery set for Monday,but today Tesla cancelled because they said my car won’t arrive by Monday. I was told I’m on priority list for earliest delivery. I’m assuming it’s possible I will be offered an older VIN and perhaps a rejected MYLR. So, thoughts, please, on 2...

    To receive immediate delivery, pay balance in full via bank link

    My delivery date kept slipping. Yesterday it jumped 7 days to July 7-10. I still owed the entire balance minus my trade in. So this morning I paid in full via Plaid direct link to my bank. An hour later I receive a text to pick up my MYLR in 4 days. Is that the secret to get delivery?

    After-market door/window noise suppress gaskets advisable?

    While I am awaiting delivery of my new MYLR I've been learning in this forum. Thanks so much. I read in a couple of posts recommendations for after-market door and window noise canceling gaskets. In order to gain some Tesla experience I rented a model 3 from Toro this week and must admit that...
