Insurance claim

Seeing the stock CT tires in person they are not a great loose dirt tire. They look like AT tires from the side but the tread pattern definitely was designed to help with range more than traction.

One might wonder what level of traction control was still on? And how much power was actually being delivered the motors. Probably needs a tractor pull mode!

The HV system has many interlocks. First step would be to see if the computers have power to see if this is an mcu/computer. Did you try putting in gear?

Can you get a charger with charge port still connected a 30 day return period. Stateside they are running $500-$750 usd. My thinking is this would rule out any issue with the charge port you installed. If the issue is not fixed it could be the new to charger is bad and it gets returned and you...

You are close enough to a SC if you want to test the warranty. I’d read it really carefully.

How close are you to a Tesla service center?

Same here but I passed on the DU battery warranty. Time will tell if that was the correct decision. But I did get the regular Xcare. After two years repairs costs are more than the warranty. So that’s something.

12/16P100d. 90% 216 miles. 44k miles. Ehh. It’s good enough to get where I need to go.

I’m not holding my breath. The eTransit is the bench mark now. I don’t think it’s very high.

You want an X you need a used hybrid Sienna ;) or wait for the IDBuzz

I’d wait until you get vibrations on normal height and they are significant. This is a wear item.

So Im shopping for a Sprinter or a Transit. FSD is a functionality is important. I decided to put off the purchase until 2025 but now maybe I can get by for another 2 years. To me this all marketing. If Tesla can’t do it yet with all the resources they have committed to what are the...

I’m over lots of buttons. Wipers on the wheel/column. Turn signals too. I want customizable UI. Let me choose what the the two scroll wheel buttons do and what I get to see on the displays to much more than Tesla allows. Exterior styling… meh. It’s fine I guess. It’s forgettable. That’s...

How many miles in the DU?

Downloading 2022.8.10.17 now. MCU1 with FSD computer and upgraded cameras. Never had the chance to try FSD could this be it? I will report back. I’m doubtful it’s FSD beta.

Anyone have reliable inventory numbers? That’s probably the best date we can get. I think getting the 7 seat under 80k might sell a few more but probably not a lot. Off you need more than 5 seats I think the EV9 is worth looking at. IdBuzz? Yeah they aren’t an X. Right now the A6 seater...

My question is does replacing the parts count as applying the service bulletin or does applying the price discount? I had axels and clevis replaced and paid for by my 3rd party warranty but no price discount was applied. I was told the TSB was not previous applied to my X. So next time...

So we hav a design that lasted 24k miles on the first set for my P100. And newly replaced still has a noticeable vibration (not the worn out shudder) and they gift us a $350 repair once? Sounds like we all need an extended warranty or rear camber kit with lowering links. Or probably both.

Yeah this is the wise financial choice. Don’t buy it if it’s MCU1.

If you get the used tax credit and realize that it could cost 5k a year in repairs. It’s a fun vehicle. That’s not a tribe price but you are rolling the dice.

I’ve got 5 kids and 135k miles on a Honda With two sliding doors. Not a problem with wires. Tracks can get full of sand and rocks but we live at the beach with a rock driveway. At any rate doors will be the least of the worries for a robo taxi.

Before Tesla did we all measure all panel gaps on cars? I get that it can be a measure of quality but I never looked at until I was told how bad Teslas were. Then started looking my Honda isn’t much better than my 2016 MX, but it’s better. There is nothing Luxurious about the Tesla...

Plaid and be done with it (as long as is doesn’t have 22s)

we have 5 kids so we kept the old van. But when we visit grandparents we can’t carpool. 27k minus 7 seems quite low. If it were me I would Take the 1% (if available) Tesla interest rate and sell the X private party. Check out companies like keysavvy who handle the payment for a small fee...

You will lose the 7k in depreciation of the Y in two years (roughly). I’m driving a 2016 P100d. They are expensive to repair. First thing I did was buy an XCare warranty. It’s now paid for itself in 20 months. You need to ask for the repair quote. Upper front control arms are cheap to...

What’s the mileage on the Plaid?

I’m not paying for 6 year old hardware on an 8 year old vehicle. I’m waiting…

Check the warranty when you run a staggered size. Michelin cuts it in half. All season tires just should be sold a meh tires. Pick the aspect where you need the most performance. Mine was wet traction. Why. It rains a lot here in Wilmington. I have never once said wow that was close when...

Do you have extra fuses on hand?

I do like having access to a complete service manual as an owner. It keeps me from starting jobs I won’t be able to complete. And completing easy jobs I didn’t know were easy.

Did you log in to the repair manual and read how and what tools are needed?

I never even got FSD beta. I was in the que for cameras. then had a wiring harness go bad. By the time I got it fixed they had closed beta. 2016 MX MCU1 I have little faith that they will release it on MCU1 this year

Just got mine back from there Wednesday. It’s like 4 weeks for an appointment. Made appointment then night before they said drop it off Friday it won’t be done till Wednesday. Had to reschedule for another 4 weeks out. Other than that all word done there has been fine for me. I even got a...

How close is Tesla service and how long does it take to get an appointment? If money is no issue what do we care about reliability? Model x 6 seater. All the way.

I submitted the w06x and the BMS errors in a service request. They diagnosed asa ba bad on board charger. Just got it back yesterday. It’s not cold enough anymore to get the w06x errors. So I guess I’ll have to wait 6-7 months to see if the problem is fixed.

Anyone have any updates to share??

Well I finally got the window fixed. When the regulator failed is snagged the wiring harness for the mirror and twisted and broke it. So that harness is hardwired to the mirror motor assembly. $633 for that 175 for the regulator. $1050 parts and labor for the window. But it’s fixed now.

Rural roads are they dirt?

Just had my 2017 (December 2016) charger replaced last night. I had the 72 amp onboard charger. It was $2,200 for the part. You really want to change all the high voltage connections and coolant connections? Labor was $660. I’d only do a self install if it was a used charger.

No not much stress at all at constant speed. It’s all about the acceleration. Rear squat under acceleration just makes the driveshaft angle worse. I like data!

ive read that too but think range mode is more FWD biased in general. You can feel I do mostly city driving. Like 8k+ miles per year. My front tires wore faster than my backs. I see no practical advantage to range mode. Other than letting the battery stay cold longer and get hotter both...

I just got my Tesla back from the nearest service center. 136 miles away. Hyundai and Kia service is less than 2 miles. So a broken window regulator cost me $1050. And 544 miles of drive time to get fixed. I’d easily put up with any short coming if it meant I didn’t have to spend 2 days...

Same experience here after SB work performed. Put it in low it you are going to floor it in anything but chill. And don’t drive in range mode. Save up for the N2ative rear camber kit and lowering links. I have a post about cheap hack that lowers just the front but get an alignment done...

Thanks for the discussion. I’ve been driving a 2021 model 3 Rear Wheel drive as a loaner since Friday. I’m very impressed. This is easily the nicest driving most comfortable sedan I’ve ever been in. at the end of the day. The charging network will still exist. Musk will still be in charge...

^^This^^ The supercharging network on average is probably good enough the next year. Everything will get more crowded sure but why should they care. The charging network sold cars to early adopter. If you’re still skeptical about charging networks you aren’t buying an EV in the next 12...

we may see a prototype but unless there is movement to allow driverless cars in a majority of major markets we won’t see actual production. So…. Here my take. You only need a new vehicle to reduce ROI time frame. I argue the M3 of MY will make fine robo taxis all the need to do is make them...

Well it’s happening enough I’m not using my visor anymore. It’s one expensive windshield.

Issues in the last 25 months of ownership of a 2016. Axels were bad and when acquired. Random supercharging error. Driver’s window regulator. 19k miles in 25 months. 43k on the odometer. 242 miles of range.

All of the above
