    Yoke peeling

    Have attempted to get mine replaced/repaired several times. Their standard reply is that it is a known problem and until they have a better yoke, they aren't touching it. That "better yoke" was supposed to be available Late Spring '23, then August '23 then 4th Qtr (for certain) '23. Appreciate...

    Sudden stop with warning

    The Service Center in their infinite wisdom pointed to the Power Frunk (installed 19 months ago with zero issues) as the culprit and refused to fix it. So I had to have the frunk disconnected and now the next time I am stranded on the side of the road, hope they don't claim it was permanently...

    Sudden stop with warning

    Figured it was something simple like that. The electronics are so intricate now that just knowing that I was able to drive a few miles after not being able to drive at all told them nothing. The annoying part is that after 4 days they still have not even looked at it.

    Sudden stop with warning

    My 2022 Plaid X suddenly stopped moving. Have driven it 11K miles. Received a warning that I had never seen before ....something about pull over your car as it is about to stop. Have driven Model S and X exclusively since early 2014 and had never seen this warning. Assumed it was a tire problem...

    Quick impressions of a 2023 Model X test drive

    Very fair review. For me, the phenomenal acceleration and ability to fill up in the garage and never darken the door of a gas station make the X the clear choice of any car in its price range.

    Quick impressions of a 2023 Model X test drive

    Some of the most critical comments on the X I have read in a while. I've owned a 2019 and a 2022. The 2022 is the most exhilarating and pleasant and easy car to drive I have owned. The suspension strikes a balance between comfort and sporty which is no mean feat considering the weight. Before...

    2023 Model X Plaid vs. Long Range

    I went back and forth about losing the folding seats. Finally in the interest of getting my X in 18 months vs 24?....30? and for no additional charge I went with the 6. There have been a few times I have missed the fold function but I actually like the smaller space with the 3rd row up to snug...

    Another Direct Model X vs. Rivian Comparison: My Personal Experience

    I can 2nd this from the perspective of installing an after market power frunk. When it was manual I would use it maybe twice a year. Powered it gets utilized twice a month.

    Another Direct Model X vs. Rivian Comparison: My Personal Experience

    For those who owned Porsche, BMW, or Mercedes prior to Model S or X these were common comments after buying their Tesla early in 2014. Interesting to see the same 9 years later.

    Wiki Model X Order/Delivery Tracking - Google Sheet

    I get it. Big time. Had a flat tire last week. Tesla Mobile has a dedicated tire guy. Was supposed to come by the following afternoon. 2 days later I found out it may be a week because his Van had a flat tire (not making this up) AND his spare was flat. Called a tow truck to take the car to a...

    Model X Plaid delivered without the 22 inch wheel covers on the wheels

    These "covers" are mildly polarizing. I prefer them on my 2022(except when I'm topping up the tire pressure). My wife likes her 2023 X without them. To add weight to the scales, my delivery guy preferred the look with them on, and hers likes the wheels better without.

    Realize that some use the fob. In the pantheon of mistakes, poor decisions, and poor planning made by Tesla, the fobs rank low for me. Got them in March. Have never used them. Now they are simply something I have to remember where I put them so that the next owner has to deal with them.

    Usual cost is $700. I had a bunch of other things done at same time which brought the cost down about 30%. Used a local Atlanta company called CarTunes. I would think anyone who does audio system design, CarPlay integration, etc. can do it. Experience helps.

    I found 2 companies that make them EVOffer and Hansshow. Probably more similarities than differences. 1st time I went with Hansshow.
