    Plaid rear tire wear - going after Michelin again - share your experiences?

    There are lots of threads on this subject. Tesla camber arms are non ajustable. Their alignment spec is very wide to ensure that the results falls inside the spec. Go to N2itive---- Eliminate Inner Tire & Premature Half-Shaft Wear On Tesla X/S! ---- and watch their short video. Good...

    Model X wiper replacement options?

    I don't believe that Tesla would design and manufacture wipers unique for their vehicles. They most likely made a selection from wiper blades already available. So it is a matter of searching wiper manufacturers to find one. Trico seems to be the company (there may be more). If you go to their...

    Do you think she’s a goner? I was hit by a truck changing lanes. Estimates not in yet.

    In my experience at a collision shop where we used to buy damaged cars to repair, we typically avoided side hits like yours. Very difficult (not impossible) to pull everything (speciically the posts that the doors attach to) back into position so that the doors and windows line up perfectly...

    Warped rotors

    At the end of the day and notwithstanding all of our brilliant comments, it is Tesla's problem to diagnose and remedy.

    Warped rotors

    I guess we agree to disagree. You can warp rotors simply by driving on the highway in congestion where you are on and off the brakes frequently, then have to come to a complete stop and stay on the brakes without moving. The heat of the pads and rotors are so great that you can distort the...

    Warped rotors

    I agree with the above. Changing the rotors regularly is treating the sympton not the cause. I am going with sticking pistons in the calipers. Are they warped on both sides of the car, I am guessing that the SC replaces both sides even time. Highly unusual for calipers to cause problems on both...

    Is battery calibration pointless?!

    I havae a 2017 X 75D. I followed the BMS calibration instructions in this article-- Tesla battery management system (BMS) calibration . I let the car sit overnight unplugged at 10% charge. The next morning I set the charge limit to 100% and started charging. The charging stopped at 93%. Drove...

    Warranty through CBI Finance

They cover the cooling systems (already had that repaired), AC and heating, brake components (excluding wear items like pads), switches and control actuators (already had that repaired), steering gear and touch screen and related...

    Rubber seal/flashing between falcon wing doors and roof.

    Been down this road and it ain't cheap. You cannot purchase the seal separate from the glass. I was also told that the deteriorated part in the pictures above is more cosmetic than anything else. It does not prevent water leakage even if new ias it does not seal that tight. Other portions of the...

    Model X - Adjustable Camber arms to reduce rear tire wear

    I agree with ngng-- install is straight forward. My son and I did the install ourselves on our X's. Need super quality blade to cut the bolt. Took a few visits to alignment shops to find one that would use specs provided by N2itive. Aligning the car to Tesla specs accomplishes nothing as the...

    First Flat in my Model S Plaid: Lessons Learned

    I have not had a flat on my X, but previous experience lead me to conclude that one should carry some like a 2X6 or maybe 1X6 piece of wood for the jack to rest on. Shoulders of many roads are gravel and my scissor jack was sinking and twisting as I tried to jack the car. A Dangerous situaion.

    2020 MX w/ shuddering at low speed and noise while turning

    There is probably more discussion on the shudder issue in this forum than any other subject. Suggest you read around more on this forum. Particularly some posts have a reference to Tesla technical service bulletins on the subject including a new version of drive axles that are stronger. I agree...

    2020 MX w/ shuddering at low speed and noise while turning

    My experience has been with a 2017 X which may or may not be exactly relevant to your 2020. I don't know if the 2nd Generation half shafts from Tesla is a permanent fix to the shudder and clicking issue. I am skeptical but you sould discuss that with the Service Center. Ask what warranty they...

    FSD 11.3.6, cruise control and fsd icon on instrument panel intermittent, FSD won't engage

    Model X shudder--blown off by Tesla service. Advice?

    Yes. Tesla made the spec for rear camber anywhere from -0.5- to -2.5. So when they are doing an alignment, the machine will give a green lignt ie "Pass" . Cars coming off the assembly line will always fall in the range. If the rear camber is close to -0.5 inner tire wear will be less of an...

    Model X shudder--blown off by Tesla service. Advice?

    Both my son and I have installed the N2itive camber and toe arm kits on our X's and then had the cars aligned at a specialty shop that would align the cars to the spec N2itive provides. Their specs are all within Tesla specs but the tolerances are much tighter so the result is much better. Also...

    Really weird FSD behavior: Cannot engage when speed is over 28 km/h (17 mph)

    Just noticed you FSD issue. I seem to experiencing the same on my 17 X. Software FSD 11.3.6 loaded about a month ago. Couple of weeks ago, gray autopilot icon was intermittent and FSD would not work. How did you check that your cameras and sensors are all working? I recalibrated the cameras but...

    FSD 11.3.6, cruise control and fsd icon on instrument panel intermittent, FSD won't engage

    Folks: Before I reach out to Tesla SC, I though I would share my issue. FSD 11.3.6 was loaded on my 2017 X about a month ago. Did not have an opportunity to use it very often but what I did experience on the highway was pretty good. Now the cruise control and autopilot icons are...

    Alignment shop in Toronto, Hamilton, Niagara area after N2itive install adjustable camber toe arms

    I suggest going to an independent alignment shop like Kal tire. I don't have anything against Tesla Service Center but not for alignment. As I said before, their specs have a range that is way too large so they will most certainly tell you your alignment is good under all circumstances. Getting...

    Alignment shop in Toronto, Hamilton, Niagara area after N2itive install adjustable camber toe arms

    I installed the kit myself. On the rear of our cars, the camber arm is not adjustable and toe adjustment is limited. I took my car to an alignment shop before installing the camber,toe kit to get a baseline readings. I did this at standard and low suspension settings. I suggest you do the...

    Opening model X frozen doors

    Suggest using product GUMMI PFLEGE STIFT (Nextzett). It is a no stick product for rubber seals. Need to apply when surface is clean and dry. I use it on all my cars, not just Tesla. Available I believe from Amazon.
  33. BobX

    Is this alignment issue worth fixing?

    Good luck with repair. I understand that door alignment is very complicated--change one adjustment, 2 others go out of alignment. Looking forward to hearing about your result.

    I don't know the answer to your question buy you can refer to the Tesla Service Manual here: Tesla Service You will have to sign in with your Tesla credentials.

    There will be NO HW4 upgrade for HW3 owners

    I am jumping in on a thread that is already 8 pages long, Here are my comments: Promising FSD was a sales gimmick by Tesla to stimulate interest and it certainly did that. We should do what we can to 'hold thier feet to the fire' to make sure they deliver on that commitment. It doesn't bother...

    Anybody receive the camera upgrade required for FSD in Canada?

    Mobile Service came and installed the correct camera. Drove a while on the highway to calibrate the cameras.

I believe that is why I am getting the error message as what they installed is not compatible...

    Falcon door upper roof seal ripped

    The roof rubber seal on the X is very thin and therefore is subject to tearing. This is made worse if the glass roof panel is not aligned perfectly with the rear trim. On my car the passenger roof is aligned perfectly and consequently the rubber seal is fine. On the drivers side, the glass panel...
