That's interesting. Many have bought the brakes and had them installed by their shop and nothing pops up on the info screen. The car doesn't know or can tell there's a difference. The only thing i can think of is when you do the upgrade through Tesla, the image of your X has red brakes instead...

What you're showing doesn't show the cover. The red caliper in Photo 5 is the exact same caliper I have on my 22 MXP but mine is black. There is a cover that attaches that makes it look like it's twice as big, but in fact it's the same exact caliper. Edited: I see you're referencing the legacy...

I just wanted to point out on the refreshed X, It is literally a cover. The rear brakes are identical. On my 22 Plaid they are Black. On my friends 23 Plaid they are red. From looking at it it looks like it 2 times the size. We removed his tire and took a closer look. It's a cover that is held...

I'm not sure what they are made of, but they are anodized. I got them from user Thadeus Strong on FaceBook. He's an Admin of the Tesla Plaid Performance Group on FaceBook. He also has thicker shims with bolts for lowered cars. Says it should correct up to 1.2' +/- camber. The thinner ones I...

I didn't measure them. This is what they look like.

I got some shims from a member on the Plaid performance facebook group and I was able to correct the rear 1'. I used a camber bubble level and also a digital angle finder. Got a base measurement and then an after. I'm running N2itive adjustable links set to -5 front and -7 rear. On my digital...

I just tried it all over the side of the car and no go for me. It's been to the service center 3 times for this issue. They 've replaced the charge door, the whole assembly and then the computer. The last time they gave up and said wait for a software update. It always worked after an update...

May I ask how much were the calipers? Thanks.

Ive dealt with patent issues and eveything points to it in Teslas case. Otherwise why not have a feature that almost all other manufacturers have? But agree to disagree. I'm off to lunch in my non birds eye view plaid on beautiful Napa day. enjoy your weekend

And what substance or backing do you have? Mine comes from the fact that 30k cars have it. Almost all manufacturers have it as an option. I'm in the business that deals with patents and decisions are made to either pay to use it or come up with another solution that doesn't violate said...

Oh my goodness. Think for a minute. If they paid for the licensing then they'd have the front camera to use it for birds eye view. They didn't so they don't need to install a front camera. Instead they come up with their own solution. It's not that hard. It's not hard man. But you have your...

No. They don't have bird eye view because they dont want to pay for the licensing. It's that simple. If a 30k car can have it why not my 160k MX Plaid? Think about that. Companies make decisions all the time based on cost and what they think they'll pay for it. I'm a software engineer and...

Oh it does have to do with a patent. They can easily add cameras especially on our $100k plus cars. It's just code stitching images together. But why when you have to pay for licensing. As soon as that patent expires, tesla will have it. If Mercedes, BMW, Audi etc can do it and have their...

The patent is owned by Bosch or Nissan. It's a matter of Tesla doesn't want to pay to use it. I think it's expiring soon. And once that happens. I'm sure it'll come to our cars. I do miss it. I loved it in my e-tron and just last week had to borrow a Sienna that had it.

Awe man, sorry about your troubles. I've been through it as well. 5 service visits for various things. Fortunately nothing major. Just my charge port not opening when pressing the charger wand, been replaced once already and the road noise I can't track down. Extremely noisy on drivers side...

I'm salty too. I'm salty I paid at the highest point last year for my Plaid. If I had waited, $30k in my pocket. Salty I didn't get the red calipers and the larger rear screen. All this when I've only had the car for 4 months. Ugh. I like the car but not in love with it. The price cut is...

My 22 MXP gets 266 miles on 90% charge. I could have sworn it used to be 276 miles before an update several weeks back. But am not 100% on that. I haven't charged to 100% yet.

For those of you in N. California. You're required to use the FasTrak CAV toll and set it to 3. It's different from the regular Flex tag. You need the transponder when using any of the express lanes to drive free or at a discount. The stickers just help you not get pulled over by CHP when in the...

Mine just stopped working with my wall connector and my mobile charger. Worked right before the last update. Anyone else?

My 22 MXP is noisy. It's much quieter than say a Model 3 and Y. But compared to other cars in its class, it's loud. My 21 Audi E-tron is much quieter and overall feels more premium. Quality fit and finish you can see the difference. But the MXP has addictive acceleration and the software is much...

I have a 2021. I'm not 100% sure I'm selling it yet. I have a ways to get my GT3 order in, its a 2 year wait.

The assisted cruise on mine works fine. Doesn't ping pong at all. It is a lot more conservative that Tesla autopilot, not as great as Teslas. But I'd say 90% there. I've driven from Napa to San Jose during traffic and chatted away with passengers while the car "drove" itself on the freeway. But...

The Audi gets exactly what is says it'll get. I think Porsche and Audi under promise and over deliver. Our 3 was the same. Had no where near what is stated. But with that said. If we can get 280 out of the X Plaid, that's more than enough. Just have to temper expectations and be realistic with...

Got it sorted out but took some teeth pulling and lots of luck. They asked how I got into the car without accepting it on my app. I told them it was unlocked. She mumbled something about the guy was new and he messed up and it should have been locked and I should have had to accept. I took it...

Well this is surprising. Since my wire went through and everything is complete, I got a text that my car is ready and I can come by the SC between 12 and 4 today. I took my son out to eat and got another text saying they are dropping off my car. I was I'm not at home and would like to go to the...

The build quality is top notch. The service I get is also top notch. My issues are with range. I get 220 to 240 miles actual when I had my 20" wheels. With my 22" wheels I'm looking at 190 to 200 if I'm lucky. It worked for me for a bit, but I got tired of range anxiety. Also the app is nowhere...

I bought late. But got a vin and I'm supposed to pick up on Friday now. 1 week from order to pick up. But I'm paying alot more than some for my plaid. And I'm ok with it. Wasn't sure if I wanted to give up my Etron. But as with anything, prices go up an down. I bought because I think this is...

They moved my pickup to Friday. I'll see what and why I got it so quick. I'm just grateful I got one!

White, black interior and 22" wheels. Didn't pick any other options, not much to pick besides FSD, and didn't need that. Had it on our last Tesla and never used it. I'll see tomorrow and ask the SA about the car when I get there. Seee when it was built and if it was actually someone's reject...

When did you order yours? I ordered last Wednesday and my vin is NF338xxx. I pick up on Thursday. I see so many people waiting and I get mine in a week and the vin scares me. Only concerned this was some showroom model and now sold back to me as new. Thanks

I know what you're saying but at the amount of money I'm paying for it, I would hope to get the latest. If once I pick it up and something new comes out ces't la vie. But thats me.

Anything I else I should look out for? On my list is the tilting screen and the tail lights/charging port. Is the rear trim different as well? I'm just shocked it took 1 week for me to get it. The Vin scares me a bit. People are reporting 345xxx and this is 338xxx and I ordered last Wednesday...

Hi, I'm in a good or bad situation depending on how you look at it. I ordered a Plaid last week. Got delivery info yesterday and now I'm picking up on Thursday. I was originally given Aug-Oct delivery. My vin is 338xxx. Should I be concerned on the quick delivery and early VIN compared to...

Sorry, new to the site and couldn't find an edit button. But the part I need is the bracket in the picture. Thanks

Hi, I'm looking for a low profile bracket for my Gen 1 HPWC. If anyone has one they want to sell me that would be great. Thanks
