How necessary is this feature to protect the car, if at all? 100F is the highest I can set it to and that's not really that hot for an empty car. It's taken quite a bit of energy while I've been at work today, along with sentry mode, but I feel it's running too much. I don't really care how...

I have a shade that covers half the rear window right now, but I'm not finding any shade to cover the lower half as a 2nd piece or as a single piece (covering the entire window). When I first received our M3H, I was amazed the rear glass was 1-piece. Factory tint only covers half of it. I did...

I have a reservation for a M3H (OD: 1/25/24 - no upgrades), but haven't completed the leasing paperwork yet. I was going to do it today, but was taken aback by the actual estimated monthly, including fees and the MF (Money Factor). I ran a bunch of scenarios and none of them looked good...

How big a problem is this going to be? The left tires are fine. It appears to purely be a suspension issue. See attached pics. The space over the left rear wheel well is about half the spacing of the right. Adjusting the air suspension raises and lowers it (very low is practically touching...

We have both a '23 MY and a '17 MX and the rate of software updates between the two is dramatically different, but the bigger issue is the MX has been on 2022.8.x now since right after we bought it last summer. How much are we missing by still being on 2022.8.x? I feel like MCU1 is getting...

I'm glad I decided on taking the MX vs our MY. The MX was a pleasure to drive on our Western US road trip with some caveats. We drove from SoCal to Wester Washington up the I-5. We didn't have any issues on this leg with charging or with the MX being comfortable. We returned from W. WA via...

At a high-level, comfort-wise, I'd much rather road trip our '17 Model X (75D), but I'm worried about mechanical problems with the Model X. The '23 Model Y (LR) hurts my back when driving and my attempts to correct that haven't been successful so far. Here's what we are going to be doing at...

I haven't heard of these "links" before, which are the bulk of the $2.5k repair bill. I will research this here on TMC, but I want to put the estimate up for comments. We are road tripping our MX to Washington state thru NV, UT & ID at the end of the month. I have read about the half shafts...

I can hear the vents doing something when switching between modes but, with the AC off the temps from the vents were from the interior temp. I'm talking like 80-90 degrees when it was 65 to 70 outside. Something seems off. I tested the temp with a laser temp probe. I'd rather not have to use...

Per the other thread I posted on, Tesla wants $333 just to look at our 2017 MX before our big road trip at the end of the month. Does anyone have any suggestions? After dumping so much cash at the SC since I bought the vehicle already, I'd rather not use them anymore unless it's things only...

Is there a way I can find out if it's reporting correctly? Scan My Tesla shows very high readings, but the cabin temp is always hotter than I set it in on the UI. e.g. 68 ends up being 74 and 74 will be around 80F inside. Is there a way to calibrate it? Does it have a little fan like the MY...

I can't find any way to change to the AM band on our X75D with MCU1. I've seen conflicting info but if it's available I can't find it. Direct tuning to an AM frequency doesn't work. I know the newer Tesla's don't have it but did any ever have AM radio? Thanks!

This doesn't seem to be possible on our 2017 MX MCU1 and I have to view the videos on the computer is that right? I put an 8 gig thumb drive in the USB port and formatted it and beyond that I don't know what to do next. If I'm right about the above I guess I just have to pull it and plug it...

We took our car out to the desert last weekend and the A/C was struggling keeping up. I've noticed that the A/C doesn't seem to work that well in general but I don't know if it's a temperature sensor problem or what. If I set the car to 70 it's typically about 78 inside in the shade or even...

EVgo stations with NACS (Tesla) handles show up on the map, but now that we have CCS1 adapters, is there a way to get them to show up as well for pre-conditioning if nothing else? I've been choosing a nearby listed charger to precondition to CCS. Thanks, Also, I'm wondering if Tesla will EVER...

I wanted to get the battery fairly low before charging it using the CCS adapter tonight, but our MX lost 3% SoC just sitting in the driveway for 53 minutes, using 1.42kWh in the process (effectively like 4.5 miles of driving): It didn't go to sleep and then it texted us when it hit 9% saying...

I have the adapter but have been patiently waiting for the Update to be available for my MX. I had an appt w/Tesla to install the new board, but they cancelled it, saying to buy the adapter online. Ugh, I TOLD them I already have the adapter and need the board. I opened up a new service...

A new Supercharger and the one closest to our house appears on the app but not in the car map. I tried sending the station to the car and the car just gets stuck on calculating. I went to the charger and it charged but the screen didn't show a cost etc. It otherwise charged normally. The site...

1st, my apologies if this isn't the right place for this topic. I'm tracking both Tesla Superchargers and non-Tesla DC Fast Chargers in my area (South OC, SoCal). The rate at which Tesla is building and the rate that others that don't appear to be building at all is very telling. In my area...

SoCal Pickup 22” Tesla Turbine wheel/tire set, Onyx Black, from our 2017 Model X Good condition of wheels, some minor curb rash that's been repaired (see pics) Pirelli Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico tires in very good condition, lots of tread left (2021), Staggered sizes/condition as pictured...

Of course the exterior seals are shot on our MX but the interior seals look fine. However the rain is coming thru and we haven't used the FWDs today. Pretty heavy rain but the alcantara, if that's what it is, are water stained. I've noticed dried stains before in the car but looks like I need...

FS: 22” Tesla Turbine wheel/tire set, Onyx Black, from our 2017 Model X Good condition of wheels, some curb rash that was previously repaired (see pics) Pirelli Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico tires in very good condition, lots of tread left (2021), Staggered sizes/condition as pictured (265/35/R22...

The Tesla tech suggested replacing the light assembly. I'm hoping there's a better way. Is there any reason I shouldn't drill a small drain hole on the bottom? This happened a few days ago after my most recent (hand) car wash - by me. Thanks!

Our charge port door had been operating fine since we bought the car a few months ago, but in the last few days the charge port has been opening an closing at odd times. We can still charge it, but it's most annoying to have it pop open when we lock the car, when we unlock the car and other...

This doesn't look good. It was halved last year to $750, just before I got my old MYLR as well. Now it's $0? Temporarily... Ok... Frequently Asked Questions | California Clean Fuel Reward

How fast should I expect our car to charge on a V3 supercharger? It started off at 119kW at 34%, but is now all the way down to 64kW at 54%. It's the first time I've managed to find a V3 to put it on and the results don't seem that great. However I'm guessing it might be normal for a car this...

Well, all this time I thought we had a 7 seater but I just saw a pic of one and it doesn't match what we have. I think the seller listed it as a 7 seater which is why I was confused. We have no need of the 3rd row and it's always folded but I was thinking that was a 3 seat bench. Apparently...

I have 22" Turbines on my 2017 X75D right now, but I'm not a sporty driver and want a more comfortable ride with better efficiency. If anyone reasonably local (e.g. anywhere in between & including San Diego-Oxnard-Indio) has a set of 20" slipstreams, with or w/o tires, I am interested. I can...

Is there a way to effectively schedule a start and stop time using the TMC? We have time of use rates here in SoCal and I don't want it charging between 4:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. This was easily accomplished on the charge point wall unit and I can still use that but I don't want to use the...

This version has lingered for a while. .5 was quickly loaded after .1 but it hasn't changed in weeks and there's an annoying bug with the backup camera on this version. Is there a way to tell what the current version is for my particular car? I know Tesla pushes these out on their own time...

I'm looking to trade our 22" Turbines with tires (2021s) for 20" Slipstreams with tires, on our Model X. We live in SoCal. Let me know if there's any interest in the area. Thanks,

We bought a used 2017 MX recently and it has 22" wheels. First, what are these called? I can add a picture from my phone as I'm sure that would help. I'm guessing these are not the most efficient wheels but replacing them would be major $ I'm sure. The coating is also starting to come off...

I am trying both Tessie and TeslaFi right now and I can't get our MX to go to sleep. Is it possible to work with one or the other *and* get the car to save energy (sleep)? As it is, the Phantom Drain rate is simply too high if I lose ~2% charge in a few hours after charging completes for the...

Well I got a fun message this morning after a couple hours of charging it 36 amps. See below. The circuit is rated for all the way up to 50 but I don't push it beyond 40 due to the 80% rule. I've not had any problems doing closer to 40 before but yeah. Is Tesla smart enough to coordinate...

I excluded home from sentry mode, but maybe I turned it on manually. How can I tell if Sentry Mode is actually running? I didn't even know if our MX supports it, but apparently it supports it enough to drain the battery. It's at home now and this is what the app screen looks like below. If...

We bought our car used but don't have a need for the rear seats on the 7-seater. So I'm looking at keeping those seats folded all the time and then putting some sort of barrier between the area it opens up between the two rear seats. Also I want some kind of cargo cover to go over the whole...

I was trying to charge it an evgo charging station with their Tesla adapter it didn't work but now the car can't seem to unlock its port. Where's the manual release on the 2017 Model X 75D? Unlocking from the screen doesn't work cuz the car thinks it's already unlocked. Here we go didn't help...

Now that Scan My Tesla is working, I made an interesting discovery today. The brake pedal wasn't activating any regen. On non-Tesla BEVs I've driven, including our current stablemate the Volvo C40, the brake pedal will do regen first and then add the friction brake as needed. So, even with...

After flip-flopping a few times on what to get, we finally found what we were looking for on Saturday, a 2017 Model X 75D (7 seater). As I mentioned on the other subforum, it's not perfect, but it's in fantastic internal condition and only has 32k miles on it. We are former owners of a MYLR...

I'm looking to purchase a 2016 Model S 75D from Carvana after deciding against the MX last night. What are some issues an "older" car may have vs newer ones? Here are some initial questions I have. The Model S actually appears to be a hatchback, when I always thought it was a sedan. This is...

I put an order on a Model X thru Carvana. Our pickup appointment is on Friday afternoon. I will look for a delivery checklist of the MX, but am looking for any tips on buying a used one here. 47k miles on it. I have experience with a MYLR, so it won't be our first Tesla. The Carvana...

We have been considering getting a Model X lately, but what we saw on the 57 Northbound this morning gave us pause. I wish I had been able to take a picture (I was driving). A Model X was totalled (in the front) from what appeared to be a collision with a sedan. i.e. the Model X rear-ended...

The back brace seems to be working for my upper back pain, so now I'm focusing on problem with my back being so sweaty in our MYLR's seat back, yes even at this time of year. Any suggestions are welcome for maybe gel seat covers, but the ones I've found are too thick. I don't need seat...

It's official. I and others are charging here. This is a great location now that I know where it is. It's in the parking garage on level P2, which was lower than P1. Edit- oops can a mod fix the year above to 2021? Thanks ☺️

I'm sure this will vary by state so maybe I should post it there. On our Volvo, EA charges 7.75% sales tax at our closest DCFC, which raises their effective rate to .463 vs .43. This is also by the kWh coming out of the charger and not delivered to the battery. I just checked my latest EVGo...

I just watched an interesting video on State of Charge. Tesla (EV) Charging Losses Explained It got me thinking if Tesla charges by the amount the car battery accepts (the kWh on the screen) or by the kWh the pedestal puts out? I will be checking next time I go to a Supercharger. Since the...

Should they be illuminated? I have a hard time opening the doors at night, especially in a dark parking lot. Having a dark blue with the black handles doesn't help of course, but it seems odd there's no illumination. I spent about a minute tonight flapping to find the handle. Not a great...

Due to the continued seat/back pain problem I'm having (I'm the only one driving it), I'm looking to sell our MYLR after a little more than a month. It wasn't until relatively recently that I started driving it regularly. And that's when the biggest problem became obvious. I fixed many of my...

Here's what the dash of my MYLR looks like right now and some lessons learned will follow. And "great," the camera was focused on the wheel but you should get the idea. Added OBD2 Port Scanner and Scan My Tesla App on my old OP6T Android phone - I like this a lot, but wish it was more...

My MYLR seat is causing major problems with my upper and lower back. I'm still trying to find something that will work, in addition to trying various lumbar support settings. The car is becoming quite uncomfortable to drive and I'm already thinking of selling it for this and other issues...
