Hi, I had my 2018 Model X 6 seater detailed. When I got it back there was a plastic part sitting on the floor in the passenger side. I have zero idea what it is or where it should be put back. Any one have an idea? Picture attached. thanks! - Jim in the PNW

Hi, I was sitting in my Model X at a supercharger last night. The location has 10 spots and over 8 of them were in use. I watched my charging rate - repeatedly - drop down to very low rate and then pop back up to 'normal' (about 100 miles per charging hour). The low drop times were going...

Hi all, 1) My 2018 Model X has started to creak and groan when going over bumps. Even mild bumps at slow speeds such as an irregularity in the driving surface at parking lot speeds. Didn't do this before. Started this winter (we live North of Seattle) but not particularly "when...

Went on vacation for 2 weeks. Got back and car was "not working right". NAV wouldn't come up. No access to Frunk. (Others also?). Searched and searched ... finally figured out I'd put the car in Valet Mode. Doh...

Hi all, I have a 2018 MX-100D. It has been parked in a garage for about 1.5 days. I believe that I properly turned car off. It is not plugged into 'shore power' (as in it is not in my home garage with the wall charger). This car was purchased used in July from the Tesla Dealer in Lynnwood...

Hi all, Just a quick report. We did our first long trip with the Model X Sunday and Monday. First leg was as far as Eugene, Ore. and after a long night at the Holiday Inn Express in Springfield (good place with breakfast and a supercharger in the lot) we made the second leg to Lincoln, Ca...

My sister-in-law just told me "the passenger seat window is open on your car'. I went to the Tesla App in my phone - did not find anything related to windows AnyWhere. What am I missing? Yes, went out to check car and saw window was open. Also checked the App on this laptop (Windows 11)...

Hi, We live on a steep hill. So I unplug the car and leave the house. The car has charged to my personal choice of 80%. I only have to leave the garage, coast down and out of the driveway, and I'm on a steep down (15%) for about 1/2 mile. Does regenerative braking pay attention to the...

Need to pick up some sort of snow equipment. Trying to decide between AutoSocks (another brand calles theirs SnowSocks) and Snow Tires. I'm guessing the snow tires would be a lot noisier when not on snow - correct? I don't really want to get a whole set of wheels and tires and swap them out...

Hi, Our 2018 Model X 100D leaks (drips heavily) whenever there is any water on the top of the car and the falcon door is opened. Both sides - left side more than right. I'm talking water coming in and puddling right on the seat/person sitting there. What is probably wrong and what is the...

I'm using the "auto fold at home" for my mirrors. My car (2018 MX-100D) folds the mirrors in far too soon when returning home - and unfolds them far too soon when leaving ... including just driving past the house. Why can't it know whether or not I'm in the driveway and not do stuff like...

Hello again all, So we went somewhere with our 2018 Model X-100D and my wife was sitting in the back. We'd done a bit of "sight seeing" and came back to the car and she opens the falcon wing and it dumps a bunch of water right into the seat she is about to sit in. Is my MX defective or is...

Hi, Every time I go to the car - the music player defaults to being on the screen. I am not someone who "always has to be listening to something" and would prefer to not have to swipe that section down every time. Is there any way to change the behavior? The car is a 2018 MX100D...

Hi, I have a 2018 Model X (purchased used 2 months ago from Tesla of Lynnwood). I have looked in the left side of the glove box and did not find a port. What I found was this: ... which I suspect is a 'place holder' for an actual port. Should I suspect that I -do not- have a port for this...

I have the 6-seat version of the MX. The 2nd row seats go forward but they don't fold. The 3rd row seats fold down and that is how I use them most of the time. But this provides only about 4 feet of front to back space. If I could remove one of the 2nd row seats there would be more than 6...

Hi, Will a PPF make a difference in the likelihood of a rock damaging my MX's windshield? A big difference or "just some"? - Jim

Hi, My nephew is visiting us in a couple of weeks. I'd like to add him as an "official" driver. So that he can use his phone, his name will be on the driver list, etc. Model X 2018 (if that matters) - I bought it used in July and still learning the car/software...

My Windoze "Tesla Control" app gives me a number for "Ideal Miles" - and then another for "range". The range number seems much closer to my actual. What is the "Ideal" number and why is it provided? - Jim

I want to take my MX to Vancouver, B.C. in late September (assuming the border rules will allow it). I've checked the availability of superchargers and although there are some none of them is even close to being convenient to the hotel where I'll be staying. But there are several non-Tesla...

Hi, New owner of used 2018 Model X 100D here. I have been "learning the car" one or two things at a time. At one point I encountered a setting for the firmness of the suspension. Now I can not find it in the car menus, the iPhone app, nor the Windows app. Where is it? Possibly related...

Hi, I live in Skagit County, Wa. I'm not seeing a whole lot of Tesla vehicles here. No surprise. Anybody have any ideas how I can "contact" other owners. Even the nearest dealer is about 1/2 hour from here in Lynnwood (if the traffic is good). Any ideas how I might 'start a group' (to...

Hi, New owner of a 6-seater 2018 Model X here. I'm looking for a nice 'storage solution' to go between the seats of the second row. My idea is that it would be something that sits on the floor and is approximately 'elbow high' so that passengers sitting in the seats can rest there arms...

Hi all, I have just one new question today. 1) I see people asking "should I pre-warm my HV before using the vehicle?". Is this really a thing we should be doing? If the answer is yes, then "how long". I am assuming that in order to pre-heat a fully charged vehicle you would...

I don't like the way my 2018 Model X assumes I'm going to use the sound system. I want it to be there - but only if called upon. For example, I leave the car (and it locks and turns off) and when I come back the center panel comes up with the GPS display ... and takes up about a third of the...

Hi, I put my Model X in the garage last night. And plugged it into the 110 charger (waiting for the 220 to arrive). And set "Vent" to open the windows. This morning the temp inside the car was still 75! I know charging creates heat - but that heat isn't vented to someplace other than...

I just purchased a 2018 Model X. I have a few questions I'm not able to find answers for - thanks for helping. I do not have a lot of miles behind the wheel yet (just under 150 miles). 1) It appears that the frunk does not have an auto lock or auto close - correct? 2) Even though I -think-...

I'd like to replace my 2018 "toy car key" with a credit card style key like the 2021 Model Y uses. Is this possible? Anybody done it? How much did it cost? - Jim in Burlington, Wa.
