    Model X door no longer open fully automatically without USS (ultra-sonic sensors)?

    I have this update ready for download, but for some damn reason my X no longer connects to my home WiFi. I never had an issue before, but now, it tells me to connect to wifi and sees my network. It then fails to connect. I'll have to figure this out and get that update!

    Spontaneously Cracked Windshield?

    Exactly! I work in the insurance industry, but on the commercial side. Heck, one of those stupid "we repair chips free" places that bills your insurance $75 will jack you rates when you lose the claim free discount. I'll pay out of pocket.

    Spontaneously Cracked Windshield?

    Update on my cracked glass above the left FWD. When I took it to the SC, they brought out a platform and we carefully inspected the cracking. Sure enough, there was an impact point where a big chip was missing. I must have taken a rock at just the right angle. They fixed it in an hour and...

    Spontaneously Cracked Windshield?

    I just found a spontaneous stress crack in the glass on the roof of my left FWD today. I scheduled service for this Tuesday and the estimate is $1280! I sure hope they warranty it, because nothing hit this upward facing glass.

    Spring release 2024.14 for 23-24 Model X

    Auto shift beta is awesome! Works perfectly for me and really gets rid of the annoying need to swipe the screen when backing out of garage or parking. Almost as good as a “stalk”!

    MXLR or inventory MXP with repairs

    It likely has the very annoying horn button vs. center pad horn that was launched on all 2024 model X's.

    2024 Model X Regen braking option

    The one pedal driving is one of the best features on my X. Why anyone wouldn't want to use it is beyond me. My wife hated it at first too, but after a bit of seat time it "clicked" and now she loves it.

    Apr 20, 2024 - Model X price drop by $2,000 !!! wtf...

    The tax credit comes right off the total owed at time of purchase. Mine was a cash payment, so it reduced my amount by $7500. I'd think if you financed it would simply reduce your loan amount; but I'm not sure if you can directly apply it as down payment.

    Strange experience. Got vin taken away.

    I'm not buying that "we gave away your VIN to someone else". I'm betting the car had a serious flaw or was damaged in transit so badly that they knew they couldn't pass it off on you. Count your blessings.

    Paramus NJ allow inspection before accepting

    It should have no bearing on the SC location. Simply tell them you're not paying until you see/inspect the car. I've bought two Tesla's and both times they wanted me to pay/sign first, but a simple "I'd like to inspect the car first" is all it takes. If they refused, I'd have walked away.

    March 2024 MX Delivery Info Share

    Very nice! I immediately cashed in some of those 10,000 loyalty points on their all-weather mats. The mats are very nice, made by WeatherTech.

    March 2024 MX Delivery Info Share

    Nice! I had a white X on order and then I switched to Ultra Red after seeing one. Luckily I made the switch about a day before the paint charge went into effect, so it was still a "tax edition". You'll love the red.

    March 2024 MX Delivery Info Share

    I would message your SA and mention that you saw the vehicle in the lot and noticed the door adjustment issue. Ask them to have it fixed before delivery or you'll be rejecting the vehicle.

    Ludicrous Mode or Acceleration Boost for Refresh Model X Long Range?

    I too thought they’d be locked down to 85, but I went a “bit” over that with no alerts or issues. The speed limit here on I84 is 75mph so traffic outside of town flows 85-90 easily.

    Ludicrous Mode or Acceleration Boost for Refresh Model X Long Range?

    I had a Plaid MX last week when my MX was in for PDR. I will say that the extra power was a blast. I was shocked they didn’t have Plaid mode locked down on a demo, but I guess they figured it sells more Plaids.

    Zero vibration issues on my 2024 MX.

    Rim protector

    Sharpie works! I hit a few spots on my MYP wheels before trading it in on my X. Nothing was said, heck they didn’t even look over the car more than a glance.

    Ok go put clear PPF on top of Zaino Polish

    Zaino is good stuff, but I'm not sure that PPF will stick well on top of it. That's why they normally do PPF first and then ceramic coat over the PPF. Your right that Zaino is not ceramic, but it's a polymer sealant that makes paint slick. I'd reach out to Sal Zaino and see what they recommend.

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    They should. Any 2024 VIN should. My X is a Feb. build and had the new horn/camera wheel.

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    Give it a few days and the turn signals will be fine. Now the shift stalk I do miss! It was much easier to quickly flip from R/D in my MYP. I just returned my X Plaid loaner and got my tax edition back from paintless dent repair. Glad to have a steering wheel back! I hate that yoke!

    March 2024 MX Delivery Info Share

    It all hinges on the quality of your Tesla SA. I had a MYP I bought in 2022 and got zero communication from my SA. On my recent X order/delivery, my SA was great and always accessible via text to handle any questions.

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    I took my tax edition 2024 X into Tesla today so they could PDR a very tiny dent in the door that was there upon delivery. They gave me a 2023 6 seater X with the yoke as my loaner. Damn I'm glad the tax edition forced me to the get the wheel! I hate that fricken yoke! It's nice for dash...

    Peeling Yoke warranty replacement - updated materials?

    Works the same when driving too.

    Once I got my confirmed delivery date and a VIN was assigned, I was able to view it on the Tesla app.

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    I've never heard a bigger sales BS line in my life! NO way are they going to pull a car from inventory and repaint it. It would require a complete tear down of everything. I feel that they were just hoping to lock in a sale and then match you with a car or put one on order.

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    Good call. We have RGB lighting on the wife’s RX350 and her prior Audi. It’s on the dash and door panels. It’s a cool feature for about 5 minutes and then you forget all about it. Bells/whistles.
  27. csrpenfab

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    All 2024 VINs have the center horn and camera button.

    Homelink

    Yes, I agree. I should have added that I think it may have something to do with the MyQ integration I had on my previous MYP that I moved over to the X. At least the MyQ alerted me that my door was left open!
  29. csrpenfab

    Homelink

    I tried to use the Homelink feature on my 2024 X and had nothing but issues. It programmed and worked just fine from the car screen, but then I started getting phantom garage door openings when I was miles away or had the X parked in the garage overnight. I finally gave up and deleted it and...

    Present insurance is fine. I’ve purchased 2 Tesli and current insurance was fine both times.

    The Red Rocket has landed…..

    Congrats! I moved from a 2022 MYP to the X and love it in every way over the Y. Sorry, the name “Red Rocket” has already been claimed! :) :) My buddy who owns the same car claimed “Big Red” and sent me a logo too. Enjoy the car

    Prediction: Model X price will be reduced to $78K in January 2024

    Correct, it's probably something trivial like they'll be adding a Farting Goat to the toybox for your lock sound.

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    If I waited for the latest X update, I'd never have a car! I could care less about RGB ambient lights, that's just a frivolous toy. Now the front camera is a useful upgrade and I hope they make a retrofit available for my recently delivered 2024 X.
  34. csrpenfab

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    Agreed. All those "hex" shapes would be a maintenance nightmare! So far, the Tesla branded WeatherTech mats are the best I've seen. And, they were "free" with my self referral credits.

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    Interesting. I picked up my X last Friday and got the tax credit applied at point of sale with no issues. My price did not change from the original order price on 12/2. They gave me the window sticker, and it showed the car over $80k with the $2500 paint surcharge that was added recently.

    Does new 2024 Model X come with tow hitch?

    Just picked mine up Friday. The hitch attachment is in a nice zippered bag in the frunk.

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    Thanks. Yes it’s attached and has 1000 sq ft of insulated and heated space. It’s what sold me on the house.

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    My prior MYP didn’t have HomeLink, so I already had a MyQ subscription at a big discount when Tesla first launched MyQ integration. I’ll get the HomeLink sorted on the X.

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    Well my Ultra Red Tax Edition delivery today went very smoothly. I couldn't find any issues with the car at all. The SA had already noted a tiny small dent in the drivers door and said it's already in the que for their body shop. Honestly, I wouldn't have seen it had she not pointed it out to...

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    I agree! We'll see how it looks upon further inspection tomorrow. My MYP I purchased in 2022 was flawless as well, so I'm hoping to go 2 for 2.

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    I’m scheduled for delivery tomorrow at 3p. Yesterday, I snuck over to Tesla Boise to see if I could find my X for a cursory “pre detail” inspection. I found her at the chargers and she looks damn good. Still dirty from transport, bit I couldn’t find any issues with paint or gaps. We will see...

    Claiming your 2023 Tax Credit

    You're not missing anything. Up until a few weeks ago, you could order any color X with no other options and still be under the $79,995 cap. I'm picking up my Ultra Red tax edition Friday!
  47. csrpenfab

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    Slim to none. I highly doubt they'd drop the $6500 option cost of a 6 seater to get under the tax rebate cap.

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    After getting a VIN on Saturday and uploading current insurance, I finally got the message to schedule delivery just now. I'll be picking her up Friday 2/19 at 3pm here in Boise. Cash deal with trade of MYP and no payment was requested. Like before, I'll have a cashier's check in hand to...

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    You don’t need to pay before getting a delivery date. I just got my VIN Saturday and I uploaded insurance. EDD is 2/16-19 and they haven’t asked for payment. I indicated cash payment with a trade.
