    The Adjustable Wing Can Still Be Ordered!??

    I have the wing and think it is cool. With over 20 months and 18K miles on my 90D, I haven't had problems since the first few firmwares. During those times, it was doing the opposite of what it is supposed to do: i.e. be up while driving and down when parked!

    Supercharger - Southlake, Texas

    I used the Tesla chargers behind the store last week... IMHO, it is a shame that they took so many precious parking spaces to make this Supercharger station - there is lots of dead space between the stands and the store. But it IS nice to have dedicated Tesla charging in addition to the two...

    Slacker not working over LTE

    It seems to have gotten better in the past day. Given the widespread nature of the problem reports, my feeling (and professional opinion) is that it is a problem with the Slacker (Streaming) app and AT&T LTE network. I think someone changed something in the most recent release - probably...

    I have the same problem. Sent a Bug Report into Tesla. Yes, I already tried a reboot of both systems

    What is this icon?

    Jokes aside, I use this occasionally. You can turn off the parking sensors BEEPING at you if you hit this.

    Dashcam parking mode or continuous on?

    My BlackVue DR650GW-2CH goes into Parking Mode after a [non-configurable] amount of time. The corellary is that when I first start driving the card, the first video is usually still in Parking Mode. It takes the motion and/or GPS signal to have camera go back into Normal Mode. I have had my...

    Blackvue 2-Ch Dashcam Install on Model X

    I have had mine wired into the constant power by the driver's footwell for 10 months and have never had a problem. I think your installer is thinking of ICE cars where the constant power could drain a normal car battery. This is not a problem for a Tesla because it could power the camera for...

    Time waited for parts?

    I took my car to authorized repair shop December 4 and it has sat there waiting since then (almost two months at this point). The repair shop said they have no idea when Tesla will ship. In the past, it has taken 60-90 days for parts :(

    Damaged by FWD on the first day...

    @indy360 No, I hit the garage while entering with the door still up. I bent it so that it would no longer close and is no longer driveable. I have a $500 deductible at Geico, I think it is going to be a several (estimating $8K) thousand dollar claim plus without the car for over 30 days. I...

    Turn off Explicit Lyrics in Slacker

    So I have noted that ever since 8.0, the previous fix for Explicit Lyrics (i.e. turning them off via the web on your Tesla provided Slacker account) doesn't work. I reported it to Tesla and they said they have nothing to do with it (gee, thanx!) I then took it to Slacker. Here is the...

    Charging Reduced From 40A to 30A

    I typically see this reduction when there is a new software update. I think they are related, moreso than blaming my wiring, etc.

    FWD not opening fully with 8.0

    I have this same problem. Didn't have it before 8.0, although I did have some phantom objects detected back in the July software release. It was fixed then in August firmware. Very annoying because I have to crawl under the left FWD to get into drivers door

    Front window not closing properly

    You need to reset the window "up" setting: 1) put the window all of the way down and close the door 2) with the door closed, open the window all of the way by holding the switch 3) when it is fully closed, hold the switch in the up position one more time about 5 seconds - this should reset the...

    Tesla Top Twenty Station on Slacker

    I think we should band together and try to break a song into the Top 20. We could ask to play Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" everytime we get in the car. It's okay if you set your volume at 1

    Mine shows the correct car color, wheels and interior colors (you can see the inside when a door is open on the car)

    I have noticed this as well, but on my X it stops about 30 seconds before the next song.

    Car Unlocking On Its Own At Night

    I had these issues too and the fix was to move both of my keyfobs further away. Previous to 8.0, they were fine in the kitchen drawer 30 feet away (and inside the house), but after 8.0 it wasn't far enough. Now they stay in my master bedroom on the other side of the house from the garage.

    Consumer Reports: Model X - Least Reliable Car?

    I've had my X 6 months today. It has spent a cumulative four weeks of that time in the Service Center for various issues with doors, key fobs, active spoiler, windows, and seats). I tend to agree with the CR assessment. I am a 20 year reader of CR and take their reviews very seriously when...

    Turn off Explicit Lyrics in Slacker

    8.0 software update about Explicit Lyrics on the Streaming music... The previous setting in the Control Panel is gone. Instead there is an option at the bottom of the Streaming page to "Login to your Slacker Account". HOWEVER, I have not been able to use my old username and password to login...

    Dead battery in Key fob locked out of Model X

    Unrelated to unlocking the MX without the keyfob, I noted that within 3 days of receiving 8.0 software, my primary keyfob battery died. It actually died while we were out driving around and had stopped. Luckily, I had my iPhone and used the app to unlock and start the MX. I now have bought...

    With 8.0, now my MX wakes my iPhone 6S often

    I called it into the 844 Support number and - after research - told me to move my keyfobs as far away as possible from the car. Their theory is that the car keeps waking up because the keyfob is near. I don't have the RFID blocker for my keyfob, but previously having my keys in the kitchen...

    With 8.0, now my MX wakes my iPhone 6S often

    Got my 8.0 update on Friday, every since then my MX wakes my iPhone 6S (iOS 10.0.2) over Bluetooth and starts playing music (on my phone). When my iPhone is not in range, it goes down the list of registered phones and starts playing music on those phones. I have even shut down the Apple Music...

    Charging Reduced From 40A to 30A

    I stand corrected from my previous post. I decided to check the Charge screen while my MX was charging (slowly) at 30A. For some reason, it was set for 30A, instead of 40A. I dialed it up and VOILA, it charges again at 40A. I don't know how it got set lower. I hope that this is the solution...

    Charging Reduced From 40A to 30A

    I also have noticed this problem since August 8. My SC said it was the charging cable and they gave me a new one. That was three days ago and the problem still exists. I need to try another location to see if I can ever charge at 40A on a NEMA 14-50 plug like I have in my home.

    First Model X with 8.0

    The tracker is self-reported, no? It's not pulling software version from the vehicle - it's getting it from people typing in the version.

    How fast can you drive with the Falcon doors open?

    FTR, I have driven my MX about 10 MPH around the neighborhood with the FWD up. I also pulled into driveway (over the ramp) and the doors did fine. YMMV

    Rear spoiler ?

    I spoke too soon. I have now seen multiple times when the spoiler stays down when driving. Then all of a sudden it will start working again. This is different from the problem before when it was doing random things. Now it either works normally, or it just stays down. Back to the SC...

    Model X Self-presenting front door

    Is the car locked? What happens when you open the driver door from the 17" screen? How far will the door open? You might try resetting the driver door opening limit. Also, I always approach the drivers door from the back - any other approach can cause the door sensors to stop the door opening.

    FWD Stops Short

    I am a bit late adding to this thread, but I didn't have any problems for the first 90 days of my MX (VIN 40xx delivered 04/18), then I experienced the "FWD won't go down 80% of the time and 100% of the time when showing off" LOL The Dallas SC took my car for a week and said it is a sensor...

    Blackvue DR650S Review + Tesla Model X Install

    Any regrets about 22 wheels?

    Yes, if I had to do it again, I would have taken delivery with the stock 20" wheels and then bought 22" aftermarket. 1) you end up with two sets of wheels 2) it is likely cheaper 3) the 22" mileage hit is more than 10% and they are noisier I have driven a loaner MX with the stock wheels and it...

    Rear spoiler ?

    Mine occasionally will act normal, but too often it STILL does annoying things like go all the way down when stopped and going to aero position when reversing. My last service advisor told me he thought it was related to my faulty driver door latch. I didn't believe him then and since it...

    7.1 Update, missing features?

    It really is impossible to miss when you have a firmware update because when you start the car, it will pop up on the screen and ask if you want to "install now" or schedule a time. I would recommend having the car be on your wifi. I haven't ever received a notice when the car is on the LTE...
