I just had my 2016 Model X (Rear, Driver-side) control arm failure as I was about to get onto the highway. I made a left-hand turn and heard a clunk (thought it was a rock or gravel) and then noticed car pulling to the left. I tried to pull over to inspect just before getting onto the highway...

Anyone else having issues connecting to their vehicle via Tesla App? It's been unavailable for me (in Southern Ontario, Canada) since Sunday (3+ days ago). I'm surprised I'm not finding more people reporting this issue, so I'm hoping its a regional issue, rather than something specific to my...

I just spent the weekend at a campsite that I visit every year. I mistakenly thought it was a 10-30 and when I tried to plug in, it wouldn't fit. Upon closer inspection, it's actually a RV 5-30 (or 5-30R or TT30). Not sure if it's clear from the photo, but it is clearly labelled "30A 125V"...

Something dawned on me today that I thought was very important in the area of EV competition. I know Elon has said many times that any EV sale is good for Tesla and the planet. While my gut could accept that rationale, until now I could never express why I intrinsically agreed with that...

<Sorry for the click-bait title> :rolleyes:

Last weekend on a fairly long commute (45+ minutes), I noticed twice that AP did something surprising. Both times I was travelling above ~40mph (60km/h) and there was significant traffic, but it was flowing pretty good. While AP was keeping me within my lane (blue traffic lines in IC) and not...

Calling all Canadian X owners. Can any of you summons your X with your key fob?

After the fall-out between MobilEye and Tesla, does anyone know who is actually updating the AP1 software? Did Tesla take-over the development (I thought they weren't allowed) or is MobilEye still in charge?

There appears to be conflicting reports on the workings of the 12v 'cigarette-lighter' sockets in the Model-X. Some are reporting that they are powered when vehicle is locked/off and some are reporting the opposite. It would be helpful to some to understand how Tesla configures these vehicles...

I was swapping tires this past weekend, and I had the X in Jack Mode for a few hours. Normally, when I walk in and out of the garage, the car wakes up, opens doors, etc. However, when in Jack Mode, it didn't do any of that. It remained in "manual" mode and all automated features seemed to...

Has anyone else noticed that for the past 2 months HomeLink won't trigger when driving in reverse? I have a very odd arrangement with a garage added to the back of the house. So my typical parking exercise is to back up the drive, do a parallel park maneuver in front of the garage and then...

I'd rather have my 'ModelXmas' show than the Quick Connection Phone Dock and BioWeapons Defense Mode. I'd trade those two in a heartbeat to get back the EasterEgg light show.

It would appear that polarized glasses are a temporary solution to the windshield ghosting issue. However this is only a viable solution during the day since at night polarized glasses will be too dark to use (half the light is filtered out with polarized lenses). Sadly, the ghosting is more...

I have a new feature request... When the Model-X switches from Drive/Neutral/Reverse to Park via the "Park" button on the end of the drive-selector stalk, there is a handy little "Doors Control" pop-up window that allows one quick access to all the doors control. Once you dismiss this pop-up...

Looks like new AP 2.0 hardware is out. Check out Tesla's website.

OMG, there are fallible humans navigating our streets in large heavy equipment, carrying large containers of combustible liquids. Where is Consumer Reports when you need them? Yesterday, there was a collision between 2 transport trucks and a pickup truck, completely shutting down the highway...

Now that I have my X, I'd like to share some life-hacks with people on small ways to improve the usability. I'd love to hear how people have "hacked" their X to make it more functional. Here are a couple of mine so far: 1.) I purchased the rear-hatch sunscreen and when not in use, I store it...

If you open the rear trunk and want to grab it (e.g. to avoid it hitting an obstacle overhead), do not grab the lid under the spoiler (which is the intuitive place to grip and it is also shown in the Tesla Walk Through videos) since the spoiler now retracts as the trunk raises. I just about got...

I noticed that the Model-X Store has a new item: Model X Hitch Rack Is this supposed to be the infamous rack that went with the accessory hitch? Looks like a Yakima hitch rebranded for Tesla. Seems like a little bit of a hack since it's a 1.25" hitch with a 2" adapter (Tesla doesn't offer...

I just noticed that the Model-X store has a Performance Pedal Set for sale. Is this automatically included in Performance model vehicles (e.g. P90D)? Anyone with a P90D or P90DL care to chime in?

Getting my Wall Charger installed next week in preparation for my Model-X and I was wondering if the Cable Organizer in the Model-S Store will work with the updated Wall Charger? Are the two handles compatible?

I noticed that the Model-X store has two sets of winter tire packages. 19" Cyclone and 20" Helix. I'm sure that the 20" Helix look better, but if one was considering winter performance and utility, are there any other advantages for going with the 20" Helix?

Seems like Tesla has a new video on their front page. Does anyone know the history of this video? I know it's filmed in Hamilton, Ontario Canada (literally around the corner from where I live) and for the life of me can't figure out why a California company would chose this location. Parts of...

The Tesla Motors Website has been re-designed and a new 70D option is available (60 appears to be gone). There were discussions (speculation?) that Tesla was moving to a new battery cell that is slightly larger than the original cells, thereby reducing weight (due to less packaging) while...
