    Today is nine months I have been waiting for my Tesla X to be repaired. What should I do?

    I believe on month three I would have forgotten that I left a Tesla for repair and would have fully explored and vetted my loss of use clause with my insurance and/ or business malpractice atty. I have had Italian exotics involved in a serious crashes fixed in about that time frame. Just...

    How many of you will/may transition to CyberTruck?

    the looks of the ct are growing on the hopeful because of time passed and the stockholm syndrome lolz... "Stockholm syndrome is a coping mechanism to a captive or abusive situation. People develop positive feelings toward their captors or abusers over time." yup- sounds about right :)

    Anybody try Sailun E-range tires for Model X?

    almost every heavy vehicle with xl low profile tires i have seen (and i have looked at thousands as cars are my business) with no brand tires had blisters on sidewalls of tires or a bent rim with corresponding blister on the sidewall- mostly on the inside. to me that is a clear indication that...

    Anybody try Sailun E-range tires for Model X?

    My experience is that generally no- brand tires for XL applications are a no- no. With those you get exactly what you pay for.

    What is the re-sale value of plaids?

    here are some recent manheim numbers for 2022 msp... those are wholesale numbers so add about $500 for auction fees and then add about 10-15% markup for retail. headers didnt copy so 3rd column is mileage 4th column is condition (0-5)- anything over 4.0 is essentially spotless from consumer's...

    How many of you will/may transition to CyberTruck?

    i believe elon accidently decided to let loose on this planet his intended mode of transportation for mars. the thing looks hideous and no amount of tech and/ or performance will make me buy one. so, no- i would not getting one of those. ... if it is ever made. now the new roadster- that...

    A Dark Night...All Alone At a Supercharging Station in the Middle of Nowhere!

    ... i believe the question op has asked is the wrong question to be asked. the correct question is - 9mm or 45? or maybe you favor more esoteric carry like 10mm? ... sneaking up to me and yelling is certainly one of the more unpleasant ways to get hurt. possibly really hurt. but given the...

    Today is nine months I have been waiting for my Tesla X to be repaired. What should I do?

    op is overthinking it. 9 months? what is this? are you expecting your tesla to give you baby teslas? lol.. you are a better person than me for sure. forget about the car and the repair shop. if the shop gives you hard time include them in the last action item on the list below beat whoever you...

    2023 Model X/S demo vehicles massive price drop < 100k

    i believe both factors you mentioned are largely irrelevant. hw4 is better than hw3, but the software has not taken advantage of the new hardware yet... and it will take years and my observation is that the typical tesla owner is not a long term owner so by the time hw4 is worth it the typical...

    2023 Model X/S demo vehicles massive price drop < 100k

    ... because they have been historically stupidly overpriced on tesla's website compared to the market prices? tesla the company is slowly coming out of the parallel universe they have been living in when it comes to used tesla prices...

    Plaid X Vibration at beginning of each drive: Who is experiencing this?

    different compressors/ part numbers, mounting options and other specifics i believe.

    Plaid X Vibration at beginning of each drive: Who is experiencing this?

    again - the rumble at start and shortly after is the inverter spinning the compressor for the ashp to 100% to quickly bring up to temp the coolant for the battery as well as for cabin hvac (but my experience is that the battery conditioning is far more pronounced vibration- wise). the colder the...

    HVAC Auto mode- who came up with that garbage?

    So I got to experience my 2022 MXP in cold weather for couple months now... It is obvious to me that whoever came up with the climate control and windshield algos lives in a warm, dry place and thinks the rest of the planet is just like that. The climate control in cold/ damp weather is a...

    driving dynamics observations of a newcomer

    yes, i am new to the tesla world. no, i am not new to the automotive world by a long shot. i have been fixing and tuning cars for the longest time and through the course of my life so far i have had several different kinds of racing licenses both for cars and motorcycles. i am not stuck on...

    Plaid X Vibration at beginning of each drive: Who is experiencing this?

    i do believe the ashp is used also to condition the coolant for the battery. as such cabin setpoint vs ambient temp is just one side of the demand with battery coolant setpoint vs ambient being the other (far more demanding). tesla just needs to learn to control better their ashp- pages from...

    Plaid X Vibration at beginning of each drive: Who is experiencing this?

    hm... i cant edit my posts with a free account- oh well... it appears that the ashp setup is a vrf inverter driven one so the compressor rpms vary depending on load and setpoints. what i have observed is that upon start the compressor is running at full tilt but the vibrations are somewhat...

    Plaid X Vibration at beginning of each drive: Who is experiencing this?

    as the bushing of the heat pump compressor wear out the vibration will become more pronounced over time.
