That is especially true this year! It's been so opressively hot this summer that my cabin overheat protection (and keeping the AC on full blast while driving) is devouring the range on my '18 75D.

At least on my '18 MX, if you manually override the doors the "Always open fully at this location" pop-up will appear. If you select that it will open fully every time you are in the same GPS location but I've found, at least on my older MX, it's driver beware because it will open fully at that...

The car warns you way ahead of time that the battery is low and I replace mine at the first warning. I also find I'm much more likely to leave my phone in the car on the wireless charging pad than I am to take the fob out of my pocket in the middle of the day for some reason.

Wham Baam Teslacam! #HONDABUMP

I test drove an EQS and absolutely loved the interior. I'll admit I'm biased because I traded in a very well loved S350 for my old M3 but I think if you test drive one you'll agree that the Germans fully grasp what a luxurious interior with impeccable fit and finish is supposed to be. I also...

2018 75D. Hmmmm, for me (on this last road trip) the time calculation was OK but the calculated arrival battery percentage was only accurate at the point I would finish supercharging but the second I started to drive it went a little wacky and the expected SOC at arrival numbers were clearly way...

I'm on 2023.20.8 and last weekend, coming back from Oregon, it did some pretty weird stuff I'd never seen before. Twice it had me stop at a supercharger with "0 minutes remaining to continue trip" as soon as I plugged in and twice it routed me off a mostly empty freeway onto side streets and...

I vote for the Raven. I have a pre-Raven MX and when I drove a Raven for the first time I couldn't believe the difference in the suspension. Every time I see one up for sale in my area I am certainly tempted to trade up. I also miss one pedal driving in my M3 so, for me, this would be an easy...

I may have implied some of the things you've said here in another forum when comparing just the midrange AP 2.5 EAP against AP1 and got flamed for it. I own an AP 2.5 MX with EAP but have access to an AP1 MS for comparison and the leather seats and the AP experience are far superior, IMO. If I...

EV's Republic charged me about $430 for reattaching the sensor. The epoxy needed to cure overnight so I had to pick the car up the next business day. I hesitate even mentioning this here because I know not everyone has the option to use a third-party EV shop that actually knows how to properly...

LOL, I did it too. If you hadn't said it and then corrected yourself it would have been me saying it. I made the mistake of leaving range mode on once in a heat wave and I thought my MX was destined for a SC visit to get the HVAC replaced. I felt like an idiot when I realized I only needed to...

I completely agree with this. I wasn't overly excited about the FWD at first because I owned exotic cars in the past that lead to some negative attention, culminating in vandalism. Until you open those doors the MX is often mistaken by the public as a MY and doesn't draw as much attention as...

Ditto on my '18 MX. I used some of this and so far so good, but I imagine I'll have to replace it at some point.

True that we all locked in at a lower price, but it really sucks when the trade-in quotes and financing expires and Tesla reduces the trade value by thousands and then your interest rate goes up.

I've never seen that particular issue and I've looked at a lot of white Tesla seats. I know some folks are concerned with the new perforated ones staining and tearing, but I've never seen this particular issue on the old "vegan leather" cream or white seats. I'm just not sure there is any way to...

I'll send positive thoughts your way that they are either able to fix the problem or at least document the issue. I'm often surprised what the Mobile Service Rangers can do in the field. Some of those folks are pretty amazing. I once had my dash replaced in my M3 while my car was parked on the...

FWIW, Tesla tells me I need a completely new suspension, front and rear on my '18 MX. EV's Republic says I just need new bushings all around. I take the car to a local alignment shop and they also tell me I only need new bushings and to calm down before I have a stroke. Super glad now I got a...

I don't know what the exact data is on this but just looking at the posts here on TMC it anecdotally feels like the 2023s are having an unusual number of FWD issues right from the factory. Don't get me wrong, I've spent over a $1K on mine to replace a failed door controller and a USS that fell...

I thought the same thing! It reminds me of the American Racing wheels I had on my '76 Camaro when I was 17.

As I understand it, rather than rely on physics (with USS), Tesla Vision relies on a mathematical equation that uses the length or distance of known objects and compares that to objects in the environment. Sorta like those phone apps that measure your room from a photo. My first thought was "I'm...

I'm so terrible at finding a video I watched weeks ago but I thought someone on YouTube spoke with a Tesla "insider" who confirmed it was most definitely related to a supply chain shortage (just like radar) and in classic Tesla fashion the marketing wank went into high gear (excuse the...

Thank you so much!!! That is very helpful! I'm really enjoying the TMC community because there are so many people like you who are willing to take time out of their day to help others. :)

Has it been confirmed that HW4 cannot retrofitted into HW2.5 or 3 vehicles? Once that is a for-sure (and I fix everything wrong with my MX) I would seriously consider the upgrade to HW3 in order to try a FSD subscription.

You are correct, this was not a SC but a dealer in the Roseville Automall. I risked buying a used Tesla at a dealership that knows nothing about Teslas and I've certainly learned my lesson now. I sort of knew what I was getting into owning a Tesla as my previous brand new Model 3 was in the SC a...

Got ya. Because of the lack of USS, right? I didn't even think of that. Good to hear they open the same with the phone as with the fob.

After reading this thread I just ran out and checked my tires...the dealer had just put new ones on when I bought my used Model X and it turns out I have 275/45R20s on all four wheels so I don't know what the heck that means. It's supposed to be 265s in the front and 275s in the rear. How can I...

Do you see any differences between 2.5 and 3 on the MX? Is HW3 traffic-light aware for example?

If you are really into FSD then I would think letting someone else take the hit on the intial purchase would be a smart move. When looking for a used MX I had FSD on my "nice to have" list but most of the ones available in my area were either basic AP or EAP. I've never heard of Tesla...

I lived 5 years with my M3 and used my phone (the last one being a Samsung Note 20) as my key and now I have the fob on my MX. I'm actually enjoying the fob because now I don't have to worry about my phone updating and the car not unlocking for some reason or being prompted to use my keycard...

I got to drive an AP1 loaner and I was shocked how good it was on the highway. It reminded me of Cadillac Super Cruise. Was AP1 the system manufactured by Mobileye or something different?

FSD can be added later via the Tesla app. Since you already have the correct hardware the costs would be $9000 to buy or $199 a month for a subscription.

There are so many different threads about this on TMC I'm wondering if anyone has tried tweeting at Elon... $2500 seems more than a bit excessive for an issue that every SC seems to be aware of. I've never had a car that at 5 years old has any of its seals crumbling away. At the Model X price...

I don't want to get flamed as a new member, but I have to add myself to the list of folks who like the old interior better for pretty much the same reasons you spell out. I really like the rear screen on the refresh but, other than that, the older interior, especially with wood trim, feels more...

I stopped lurking and registered for an account just so I could say thank you for this post. The noise from the driver-side door was driving me crazy! While picking up lunch this afternoon I pressed on the vertical piece near the front of the door window (based on your post) and as long as I...
