Even with rim protectors, if you go to battle with a curb, the curb is going to win and probably take out your rim protectors and make a lasting impression on your wheels.

Well, I may have spoke to soon. I went out today and probably got in and out of the X at least 5 times and the door NEVER fully opened for me. ALL openings were the couple inch opening with the additional drag on trying to pull it open to get in. Sorry I got your hopes up. I guess it's a crap...

I have a 2023 Model X LR that just downloaded 2024.2.3 and surprise surprise the door opening seems to have been fixed. Now the door opens wide enough for me to step right into the car without touching the door. We shall see if this keeps up out this was just a rare occasion. I'll keep u posted

Back yard mechanic here. I would watch the fronts, one in particular, and if you take it to the service center for anything else then also mention this for the record. Rears look good. Turn off REGEN for a day or two and drive it like you stole it to exercise the brakes and pads then take...

Question ref Air Suspension on the X. Do you think "exercising" the Air Suspension weekly will have a positive effect on longevity? I find with many things today if you don't use it regularly it is more likely to not work when u need it.

" that this update was in the works." 2 weeks - Elon time...

Jay, thank you for your response. I can not come up with a logical explanation for your tire difficulties on a 2020 X. With your luck it may be time to buy a scratch-off or a lotto ticket. How many miles is on the car now? I know this is a pain but can you provide pictures of each of the...

Jay, I see you joined TMC just yesterday. Welcome. As to your problems can you tell us the problem with each flat? Was it road hazard (nail, screw, etc in the tire)? Was it that all the air in the tire went out and when u tried to pump it back up it's didn't hold air? You also said "All 4...

Hey everyone, you can easily make a dust cap out of duct tape! Probably will be better than the one that comes with it.

2023 MX LR, TeslaFi says 329 Wh/Mile pver 7,081 miles driver (8,462 Rated Miles Used - I don't know what the difference is) 20", 7 Seat, MSM when I had to pay for it. Always set on CHILL MODE, Always charged @ Tesla SuperChargers (Free for 3 yrs), I drive it NOT like I stole it although it is...

These solutions are pretty cheap and easy to install. I ordered a RED set and the MACSBOOST set b4 Xmas. I have yet to get into it with everything going on around the holidays. The additional thickness of the RED set sold me along with the longer bolts provided. If you have questions, go back...

Not all qualified electricians are created equal...

Main things to follow: 1. ALL CABLE RUNS ARE DIRECT POINT-TO-POINT. 2 BREAKER TO WALL CONNECTOR. NOTHING IN BETWEEN. 3. NO J BOXES, BUGS, PLUGS, RECEPTACLES, ETC. 4. ALL CONNECTIONS PROPERLY TORQUED TO SPEC. 5 USE Dielectric Grease SPARINGLY. That's it.

@Eric33432 excellent write-up, excellent advice. I to generally recommend MC cable over conduit for Wall Connectors. The one step install over the 2 step with conduit and THHN is the selling point for me.

Dang garage doors always get in the way! Need to bubble wrap that dang garage door!

@DCGOO I'm sorry I wasn't aware that Recurrent manufactured or sells DC Fast Charging Systems. Please let me know the brand name they are manufactured and sold under. Thank you.

@DCGOO I don't fully understand your response "Consider the source..." Are you insinuating the report results are not accurate and should not be considered valid or are you insinuating the opposite, the report is valid and is another tool in the tool bag for discounting the rumors that constant...

I just got the below organizer from Amazon for the back of my Tesla X. Very nice, LARGE and folds almost flat. Very strong sides. Get it while on sale. No need for a top. Stay away from those with a top, just 1 more item to keep track of.

Here are 2 suggestions for you. 1. Use this horse washing boom from Tractor Supply to get you charger cable up and out of the way. It's cheap, around $45 and if you don't have a local Tractor Supply you can order to ship. You can put the charge cables inside the pipe. I just zip tied it to...

I would rather ask why you need a dash cam in your S. Does it give you more than you already have?

I'm no expert here but I would be in there with large plastic bottles of warm water, drench where the cider spilled and vac up with your shop vac fairly quickly. This will remove most of the sticky of the cider and also delute the possible effects of the cider on anything it might have hit...

Mats... I originally had Weather Tec but didn't like the quality. The edges were not rounded, they were just cut and that caused sharp edges. They also were just hard to clean and basically never came clean after getting muddy even with a pressure washer. I sent them back and got Amazon LinerX...

Here ya go.

2023 MX LR Midnight Silver Metallic, Cream interior, April 2023 build. I'll get some pics and post them. The Cream is the perfect blend of black and cream. All black is just too dark.

R u planning on staying @ MEDIUM or go to LOW (the now recommended setting) for normal driving? I have not installed the shims yet but they are supposed to add a 0.8 to the current setting. Attached is a recent alignment check I had done by Tesla. I don't know what suspension settings were...

So you say you have about a -1 at medium height. Do you know what the camber will go to in low range?

@LoneStarrPlaid right you are, your right on with "old man" tag, and proud of it! After running the open roads in Europe for over 10 years on both 4 wheels and 2 I've never encountered a loss of control while unexpectedly getting into a hard braking situation. I'm also not going to test it out...

Generally what your going to find is that the current camber setting on your X is going to be somewhere between -2.0 to -2.2. putting the shim in is going to correct your current camber by a +0.8 so a current -2.0 will be a -1.2. That will flatten out your rear wheels and further alleviate your...

Okay, not brake fade. So this is not on a track, but on public roads, your doing 100+and you get in a bind and need to do a HARD BRAKE CHECK and you lose control. As you described this happens when you do a HARD BRAKE CHECK from speed the first time. A real race car driver will never go full...

I just received the shims from John @ MACSBOOST. It's going to be a few weeks before I get around to installing them. I like John's aka MACSBOOSTs solution for the simplicity, cost, & ease of installation although I have not installed yet but the instructions were well detailed with pictures and...

Sounds like your brakes are fading, possibly due to high temperature buildup. With the loss of control it sounds like one wheel or one side fading out. The excessive heat may be causing the breaker fluid to boil. Are the brakes spongy after the hard stop? QUESTION: is regen turned on? From...

The inside tire wear you mention is the rear camber alignment that is spec anywhere from a -.5 to a -2.5 and it's probably around a -2.0 to -2.2 on your car. There is NO ADJUSTMENT on rear camber on the X or the S. The X normal suspension height setting is LOW. If you want to "correct" the rear...

Easiest way to pinpoint the source of a rattle is to use a stethoscope. They make cheap ones available in auto parts stores. you will be surprised at how easy it is to pinpoint a take with a stethoscope.

I would be curious about this charge and would like to see a copy of the service report/invoice outlining this charge. $1,500 for the battery is grossly high.

2023 MX LR delivered 6/13 my passenger side step started coming off. Fixed when in for alignment check.

Wow, didn't even know we have that feature in the X. Tell me more...

Don't forget to consider the new 4 yr warranty you will have for the car and the new 8 yr battery warranty. That's worth trading up right there.

Who would say no to a deal like that? New 4 yr warranty, new 8 yr battery warranty AND Supercharging for life. Excellent deal.

2023 April build MX LR, I regularly get to 250Kw @ 250Kw Tesla superchargers and it holds there for a good while. My previous 2019 MX 100D would never get above 200 and was a slower to charge overall than the 2023. I have regularly gone from 20% SOC to 80% SOC in 20-25 minutes @ Tesla 250Kw...

Please correct me if I'm wrong but 6/2 MC (Metal Clad) is equivalent to running THHN in conduit and does not carry the same limitations that Romex carries. Also 6/2 MC is a one-and-done install instead of the 2 step required with Conduit and #6 THHN.

So with all the talk about the inner rear wheel wear on the X I went out to Tesla and had a talk with the service folks there. I also had them do a Checl Alignment on my 2023 X LR for me. Cheaper than the full alignment which includes all 4 wheel balance as well. The cost of the Check Alignment...

You hit on one of the many reasons I traded up from a 2019 6 seater to a 2023 7 seater. The BIG reason being that you couldn't fold the 2 middle seats down for cargo.

Here ya go

@Alex425 Persistence pays off. Congrats

If u want to remain calm and collected behind the wheel don't use FSD on local streets. Take over control and drive your self. Only use FSD on well marked highways and always PAY ATTENTION. IT'S YOUR FAULT IF IT SCREWS UP!

Oh, this one's a bit touchie. I think your claim is against the actual repair place. I would guess you took your car there and dropped it off and picked it up. When u picked up your car did you bring these problems to the repair shops attention? Tesla paid for the repair, just like an...

I don't think it's the car, I think it's the Charger Point charger. I would start by checking with Charge Point and have the software/firmware version of the charger at hand. I would suspect you are a few firmware versions out and an update might fix your problem. Good luck and keep us posted.

I tried the Amazon route first with great disappointment. I then went with the Tesla mudflaps, only 2, for the front only. Real easy to install. After studying the X I see mudflaps for the rear are not needed as tesla really doesn't have any paint showing behind the rear wheels. It's all plastic.

Yes @CodeeCB, @gsxdsm is correct, you press directly on the right hand scroll wheel to activate TACC & AUTOPILOT. It depends on your settings under Autopilot as to whether it's 1 press for both or 2 presses, first for TACC, second press for AUTOPILOT. Don't worry about being embarrassed, I got...

@Loves why are you asking about mud flaps for a MS? under a Model X thread?
