This noise sounds like a nut that is loose in the door. I doubt there is a nut that is loose in there, but it's just to explain what it sounds like. I hear a "knock" when I accelerate or decelerate. If I accelerate/brake very slowly, the noise doesn't happen. But if I drive normally, at every...

The only way to schedule service these days is through the app. When I go to "Schedule Service", it shows an appointment for a service I did back in November. I'm not sure why it's still showing there, but the net result is that I am unable to schedule a new one. On that same page, a button...

Hi everyone, We are a Tesla Family. I own a Model X P100DL, my wife has a S P85D, and my 6 year old has the RadioFlyer... We are happy to be big supporters of the company. But there are still simple things where Tesla falls short and that can be mildly infuriating. I ordered a winter...

There is snow in Tahoe! 4 Wheels + Tires + Chains Mounted and Balanced Almost new (5 trips to Tahoe). 19x8.5 Rial Lugano 245/45R-19 Michelin X-Ice XI3 XL Lugbolts (20) TPMS sensors (work without any issues on my P85D) I had those on my Model S but I now have a Model X and these do not seem to...

Hi everyone, I'm looking for winter wheel/tires for my new Model X "Raven" on tirerack.com, where I've been a customer for a long time, but when I add a new vehicle it gives me the option to select "Model X P100D" or "Model X Performance"... well, the former is also a Performance model...

Is there a way to get the other ones to record too? (missing are the pillar cams & the rear one) Thanks!

When I close my (driver) door, it makes a big "metal against metal" sound. I found out it's because the chrome trim runs into the FWD's trim. See attached picture. It didn't use to do that... Is there something that got out of alignment? Perhaps the position of the car when you close the FWD...

4x 19" Wheels + Tires Mounted & Balanced 19x8.5 Rial Lugano 245/45R-19 Michelin X-Ice XI3 XL Lugbolts (20) TPMS sensors (work without any issues on my P85D) I had those on my Model S but I now have a Model X and these do not seem to be a good fit for the X. I've gone to Tahoe 5 times with...

When I bought my Model S 5 years ago, I used to go online and there was a section titled "My documents" (or something like that), and the MVPA was there for me to download. I got my Model X last week, and I don't see any spot online where I can download that document for the Model X. Is there...

I'm confused by the changes in prices and promos going on... I already own a Model S and ordered a Raven'X earlier this May, and still don't have a VIN (Estimate delivery was May when I ordered - so that did not happen). Since I ordered, the price dropped by $2K. Also, it seems like there is...

I'm about to order but I don't see any spec for tires in the studio. I imagine there are variants based on the wheel you pick (out of the 3 options), but I can't see the tire spec. I'm looking for an option with summer tires, as I'll have another set of winter wheels/tires for the ski season...

I have a Model S and looking into an X, and I've been a bit concerned about FWD, in particular their inability to detect things like poles, hydrants, etc... I see a few videos of "fails" on youtube, and was wondering why Tesla doesn't simply lift the FWD with the most conservative pattern (the...

Hi, I'm up in Tahoe (Incline Village, NV actually, walking distance from Diamond Peak's resort) and we got a good snow storm that made things very difficult around the area. That part is not that bad, except that the 12V warning just came up this morning, and I can't figure out the level of...

This is one of my winter wheels - Rial Lugano fitted with Michelin X-ice... and a sleepy newborn! You should know that no baby was harmed in the making of this picture. It is composed from 5 different photos, shot in a studio by a professional photographer, with the parents of the baby having...

I finally got the chance to try them today while swapping my wheels for my winter set, and I want to say that they worked really well. Robust construction, and the standard pad that came with it was the right size (no overlap with the battery area - I used the rubber pad with the pin).

I should be getting my winter set (wheels+tires) today, and my jackpoint jack stands later this week, which means I should be ready for the swap at the end of the week. The jack stands come in pairs, which begs the question: when doing the wheel swap job, what's safest, using one or two jack...

If you're like me - interested in Autosocks, I found this study/report interesting.

So I finally ordered my set of winter wheels & tires for my trip to Tahoe: Rial Lugano & Michelin X-Ice, 19inch - 245/45R19. Now I'm looking for "traction devices": which is basically chains or similar devices accepted by DMV/DOT. I know that in all likelihood I will not need them on my P85D...

Hello everyone, I have one of the very first P85D with a staggered tire setup, 21’ wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 (Performance Summer), 245/35ZR21 front & 265/35ZR21 back. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and these tires are great for most of the year here. However, I’m contemplating...

Hi, I live in the SF Bay Area where icy/snowy conditions are very rare. I also have the 21" rims with summer tires on my P85D. For the occasional encounter with snow (Tahoe, Yosemite, or just Santa Cruz mountains or Lick Observatory), is it reasonable to rely on a set of auto socks (2 pairs to...

Today is not a good day for me (and my P85D!)... I had a collision in my garage that I don't actually understand the details of yet. I pulled into my garage as usual, and slowed down as I got close to the "end wall" (where a door into the house is too). I have a laser pointing down from the...

When I'm in reverse, especially if the steering wheel isn't straight, I get a slight noise from the front area. The best way to describe it is to think of it as the (clothes) washer: when that drum starts spinning full of clothes and water/soap, it's not loud, but you can tell there is some...

Hi, Page 10 of the manual reads: 1. Open the liftgate, then lower it to the desired opening height. 2. Press and hold the button on the underside of the liftgate for two seconds until you hear a confirmation beep. 3. Confirm that you have set it to the desired height by closing the liftgate...

Hi, I live in the SF South Bay and have family coming over from overseas. We typically go visit a few places around the area and suspect they'll want to go to SF. That would be 5 people in the car. Is it a good idea to do this in a Model S? I have a P85D with air suspension, and wonder whether...

Hi, I want to order All Weather mats and the Tire Repair Kit, but I see no need to order online and pay for shipping + waiting, etc - when I live just a few miles away from both a Tesla showroom and a service center. I probably drive past them every day (or very near). Can I buy/pick up...

Hi, I need to put a baby car seat in my new P85D, and I'd like to do it in the center seat of the 2nd row and facing back. What type/brand of car seat would let me do this while preserving some space on both sides for a total of 3 passengers in the back? Any issues with hitting front seats...

Finally, it's there! So I got a few options to pay, apparently I can: 1) go to the Fremont factory for pickup with a cashier's check in hand 2) pay with wire transfer 3) pay with ACH (some kind "secure" financial transaction - like a check - online) I'd like to do #2 or #3 because it saves me...

Can the car be configured such that whoever you leave the car with won't be able to go above such limit? I'm thinking of some kind of equivalent to a "valet mode" where you can't really go crazy with it. 30 MPH limit, 50 HP. :cool: I think Tesla does something like this with its loaners, but...

I'm thinking of using them for a full Opti-Coat Pro on my new MS. Anybody got first hand experience with them? Any info appreciated. Thanks! -- Greg

Hi, I've been perusing this forum in the past few days to get educated on paint protection options. I have a Pearl White P85D coming in "December" (that's what MyTesla says anyways) and would like to figure out my paint protection strategy so I can go and implement it as soon as I take...
