Okay so I've sorted my FWD's out myself. I used a low-profile ratched and a Torx-40 to loosen the two bolts that secures the bracket-plate. By moving the bracket left and right, one controls the panel-gap on both sides. By moving the plate inward or outward, one controls how flush the FWD will...

Kids, riding along in such luxury cars, should not complain. Spoiled brats.

I just replaced my stock 20" Michelin Lattitude 3's with 20" Pirelli Scorpion Verdes. The Verde has a little bit less dampening of its own than the Lattitude's. But as I drive in Sport mode most of the time anyways, it's not an issue at all, just something I noticed. I'm quite happy with the...

Hello all, My passenger-side FWD alignment is ok, but what my OCD can't ignore, is that at the very bottom, it should come outward 1 to maybe 2mm to make it really flush with the rest. Looking at the "thing" in the sill where the door "grabs" inside the sill (so to speak), I see a recessed...

Howdee Folks, Can anyone tell me what color this MX is?

Please don't pollute this Thread with MS information. This is an MX thread.

Still good. I drive on Normal (and goes automatically to Low when on the freeway). Still happy.

Yes it's fixed. Nobody can tell what these new axles will do in the long run but i'm on 7200km with these new babies and they are doing great. Newly produced car's will have the new generation of front axles. If cars that are currently on stock already have them? Maybe, maybe not so ask the...

Pre-Raven has a different front-motor. The shudder was, contrary to Raven, not caused by the half-shafts (they merely got damaged) but by the clevis-mounts. Tesla re-designed the mounts and since then, pre-ravens don't demolish half-shafts anymore. Raven already has the new clevis-mounts but had...

Ok I got the bill. Here is what it says (relevant part, translated from German): ___________________________________________________________ Kilometer: 24179 (that's 15112 miles) Symptom: Vibrations during acceleration Work Description: General Diagnosis Work Description: Halfshaft - Front...

Sorry no. I normally received the bill after a repair (even if under warranty) via Email but not this time. Asked for it but received nothing so far. I also did not receive the usual post-service-customer-satisfaction survey Email (and I'm really satisfied about this repair ;-)

Apparently, Tesla could not develop a good product with the "old" manufacturer so they went to somebody else. The same happened with the FWD mechanism during the development phase. Supplier A did a bad job so Tesla started doing business with supplier B so to speak. Happens all the time in the...

Likely because there where still plenty of "previous version" shafts on stock which needed to get rid of first. The new shaft variant is really "hot off the press" from what I understand.

There is a solution now. READ HERE: The shudder problem: Current status (end of February 2020)

Update on my original start-topic in this Thread: I had both front drive-shafts replaced yesterday. Car has a little over 24000km on it since January and it was not worth changing them until now because they would simply mount the old, flawed design which shudders just the same. Waste of time...

Victim reporting. There are good days where it does not happen and there are bad days. Sometimes it‘s outright dangerous for folks behind me.

RTFM Read The Friendly Manual https://www.tesla.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/modelx_sunshade_installation.pdf

Yes. Everything you need to tow with the X is onboard as standard.

Yeah but what bothers me is what I wrote here: "Even if the car does not understand what that "thing below the stoplight" is, the radar should have picked it up, understand the collision-course and steer clear of it" This functionality should have been there from day one. But apparently it still...

Was driving towards a roadworks the other day on a wide country road. Only 1 lane open, the others being repaved etc. To prevent cars, which have to share the same single lane from both directions crashing head on, they use mobile stopsigns that stand on the tarmac against the curb. The...

Better than a leaky headliner and a loose tire... ;-) ______________________________________ There can be only one: ElectricSteve

I don‘t have a Model Y. This imposter does. Leave me out of it will ya..

I had official Tesla wheel locks on my MS to protect my 21s and they where snug and did not slip at all. Are you trying imperial unit tools on those metric nuts (21mm) by any chance?

Not serious enough to be worried about it. Make a Service-appointment via the app. Keep driving but avoid flooring it. Accelerate normally and you’ll be fine. It‘s only a „yellow“ alert a.k.a it’s a warning. Fatal issues are red. Ludicrous launches put an enormous strain on the driveline. Image...

What monkey-wrench tireshop did you go to for that tire-swap? In any-case, never go back to those morons...

When I got my X in January this year, both fobs had been lying on the shelf for so long that their Batteries where drained within two months (end of February). Replaced the batteries in both fobs and the problem was gone. Same happened to my with a new Audi in 2006 by the way, it‘s not a Tesla...

What are „driving lights“? Do you mean „daytime running lights“ (DRL‘s)? DRL‘s are standard on every Tesla since 2012.

You pay peanuts, you get monkeys...

Oh it is a defect for sure. What I meant with „normal“ is that it happens a lot. I drove Audi, Peugeot, Volkswagen and Mercedes before 2014 when I got my first Tesla and it happened to me several times over 25 years of driving. I drive 50000+ km per year on average. And it always happened to me...

Stresscracks are "normal" in all cars, especially when very large temperature differences are involved.

No. According to my information, All models since 2018 (MCU2) use the same Atom E3800 series CPU and Intel Apollo Lake system-on-chip. The display on the S/X is larger but I don't have information on the screen-resolution of the 3/Y (S/X = 1200 x 1920). If the resolution of the S/X 17" screen...

It **CAN** involve full-movement. Personally I only saw them move a few inches but my personal experience does not mean it cannot behave otherwise (like in your case). I guess it depends on the actuators that need re-calibrating.

Why can‘t you two-foot? It‘s not different from driving up/down a rrrrrealy steep incline. I don‘t see what the problem is. The car will bitch about it but who cares.

That 1100kg trailer I was hauling, was a real dog and really pushed the car back down the incline, nose first. Using two pedals really does help in such cases. The switch between „gas“ and brake is instant and always faster than lettting one pedal go and depressing the other, no matter how...

Even when an „emergency button“ would abort the charge and disconnect the two locking pins. Who/what will eject the plug from the vehicle allowing a gettaway...

Oh that‘s just me being lazy. I always have the car in creep and I don‘t want to change modes just for towing. I‘ll try hold mode the next time, just out of curiosity.

Low fob battery. It if the signal it sends is too weak for the car to pich up reliably...

I live in western Europe. No need for solutions to problems we don‘t have.

I don‘t understand what the commotion is all about. Since I got the X in January, I‘ve towed a 700kg trailer with a motorbike on it and a long two-axle 1100kg trailer with many bags of garden-earth (wife garden project) and had to back up both on an incline (and steer into a corner after a few...

What? Could you please repeat that? Oh wait you just did :p

That is not an easy question to asnwers as it differs per pack. TeslaBjörn found the number for the Model 3 with a specific pack and posted it on youtube. It‘s not about the number of times one superchargers but about how much energy was transferred in total. After X kW ingested above a certain...

You totally have no clue. Check out Aesculus’s post below mine. He does a good job of explaining how it works. Well good for you. Then you are obviously not part of the target audience of my post now are you. Because I (and many others) have been informing people for the past 5 years, incl...

For the last time (i‘m getting sick of repeating myself): Charging to 100% very often: BAD Letting the charge sink too low (below 15%) too often: BAD Charging at a very high rate (example: Telsa Supercharging) very often: BAD The range displayed in the car is an approximation, calculated...

That Website sounds like a ton of baloney though. Those "reviews" are a joke: "Battery arrived and is installed! I was only expecting a slight difference in sound quality... but it is HUGE. Makes a really big difference." "More Bass!" "After changing my cars battery to Ohmmu, my phantom...

150 SC‘s are V2. I get around 145 at those. The new 225 is in conjunction with V3 SC‘s which are very different from V2‘s anyway. Different architecture. by the way, a „pretty empty“ battery cannot charge at very high speeds yet until it reaches around 15 or 20-ish percent. The BMS prevents it...

See if the ground cable for the 12v Battery is properly bolted down. The MX of a buddy of mine had it‘s 12v battery replaced after 3 years or so and sloppy Joe at the service center didn’t tighten the bolt of the ground cable properly. Result, car dead as a doornail at his house two,weeks later...

My oktober 2019 MX had 1 FWD rubbing the paint. Fitment was meh. Made an appointment and they fixed it. Looks and works fine on both sides now.

Raven S and X can do 200 max. Where did you get info about 200+ ?

I assume the load rating of „Y rims“ will not suffice as an X is much heavier. That alone makes everything else moot.

On „very low“ yes. On „low“, in my experience, not.
