My 2016 P90D with around 85k miles threw a bunch of error codes and had to be flatbed hauled to my local service center. Turns out the rear motor unit went out and is going to be replaced under warranty. My car went in on May 23rd and I got a loaner from my awesome service center on June 8th...

My 2016 early VIN Model X P90D just had its first major failure at 84K miles. Felt some rough rear motor driving and had a BTS error pop up stating that the vehicle may not restart. Decided to head back home instead of going into work and got the car into the garage where it promptly popped...

My wife and I bought our first Telsa, a Model X, in Michigan when it first came out in 2016. Because it's Michigan, we had to take an overnight trip down to Cleveland Ohio to pick it up. Tesla paid for a rental loaner and we have a nice overnight stay and great diner in Cleveland. We visited...

Almost anyone that has the dynamic air suspension in the Model X and Model S is familiar with the issues of prematurely worn halfshafts in the front suspension (aka acceleration shudder). I've had the halfshafts on my Model X replaced three times (all under warranty) with the latest fix being...

Like many of you I've reserved a Cybertruck since it seems to tick a lot of check boxes on what I want in a vehicle. My daily driver is a Model X and the largest vehicle I've driven is probably and old Ford Aerostar Extended (190"L x 72"w x 74h) or an '84 Grand Marquis (212"L x 78.3"w x...

I was hearing a single thunk during hard accelerations that would always result in a slightly quieter thunk during full regenerative deceleration. Since I've had my Model X in for service multiple times for half shaft replacement, motor mount damage, and other front suspension issues, I thought...

So My 2016 Model X is in for warranty repair to the HVAC box. The baffle actuators were making a very quiet grinding noise and replacement was needed. It's taking a bit longer than expected because the new part replacement apparently didn't have the pass through cutout for the ionizer, so they...

While my early VIN 2016 P90D Model X is in for repairs to the HVAC box and front half shafts (second time), Tesla Cleveland thankfully got me a Michigan fleet vehicle as a loaner. For those of you not familiar, Michigan doesn't have it's own service center, so vehicles requiring repairs that...

I have a tube of Tesla PBCW (catalina white) touch up paint for my MY16 Model X. That year, they offered a "solid white" and pearl white. My invoice says solid white. Is that the same as the catalina white? When I try to touch up some chips, the touch up paint looks very off white, almost a...

I clipped my drivers side mirror last Thursday backing out of my garage. It turned the mirror forward, breaking the chrome underside and part of the black plastic surround. The colored top popped off and was a little scratched up, but not damaged and the mirror was also not damaged. I called...

A search didn't bring up this information so I thought I would post it for posterity. I got a cryptic pop-up message twice today on my short commute home. "Car needs service. Car may not restart" It cleared on it's own so I looked into it a bit and got some suggestions it might be the start...

Temperatures are dipping below 40 F here and I got the pop-up warning on my cluster twice during my short commute home "Car needs service Car may not restart" I don't drive far enough for the battery to warm up to full regenerative braking capacity and I'm not even sure if the warning is...

Here's an FYI. I noticed today that my turn signal lights are blinking at a double rate. The IPC graphic for the car also indicated that the signals were blinking at an accelerated rate. The lane change turn signal operation (soft press on the stalk) only sounded twice before stopping rather...

This might seem like odd question, but I can't find any literature to answer it. The climate control in the Model X (and S) is pretty much automatic unless you manually set the blower controls. When it's in automatic mode, does anyone know if the compressor and heater are constantly active to...

With the version 8.0 software update, I'm not seeing the audio source selection menu item after pressing the lower right steering wheel menu button. I kind of liked that feature. I know the new software introduced cycling through favorites with long presses of the left side steering wheel...

I'm getting a creak on both the drivers and passengers side doors when I press my elbows on the door armrest. It's kind of a creak or squeak and sounds like a fastener rubbing against metal. When Tesla service replaced the door latch on the drivers side, they installed some foam tape to try...

Full disclosure: I have no personal relationship with ForMyTesla.com outside of purchasing this product for my Model X. I placed a pre-order for the dead pedal a couple of weeks ago and it came in today. As the website description states, it's made of 5 mm aluminum plate with grooves cut into...

I charged my Model X for the first time away from home at a free level 2 charger at the mall yesterday. When I got back to my car, the charging cycle was complete (full to 90%) and I was trying to figure out how to release the charging plug and SAE J1772 adapter. Everything I read online says...

Anyone else miss having a hard surface for a dead pedal? After driving the Model S, I noticed that the Model X doesn't have a dead pedal even though it has the incline where one would be. I always put my foot there and I'm pretty regularly vacuuming the drivers carpet to keep it clean, but...

As some background, my first Tesla was my white Model X P90D that I picked up on March 26th and put 1500 miles on. I had never test driven a Tesla before and the only other experience I've had with a BEV/HEV was a test drive in a Ford Focus and a short drive in a Prius. My Model X was picked...

Do we have an adaptive volume to our sound? I didn't get the premium sound package, so I'm not sure if this was feature, but I've noticed much more in this vehicle, that when you have the radio volume set for something audible while moving (road noise) it's a little too loud when stopped at a...

I captured some thermal videos tonight on my Seek thermal. Sorry for the quality, it's not the highest resolution thermal device out there. Heated steering wheel Passenger seat heating up Passenger seat cooling down with ventilation Drivers seat heating up I'm taking suggestions if you...

I just tried out the perpendicular auto park feature today and it worked fantastically. One question to those who have used it. After the parking process was completed, the center stack screen displayed the normal door opening overlay window but the falcon wing door buttons were grayed out...
