I just got my MX version of the ACOpower Tesla Fridge, and I LOVE it. I honestly didn't think it would fit, but it does. Not perfect, but it is exactly as promised except the hand-in-glove fit of the Model Y version. It's a little crooked/tilted down in front, sticks up 1/4" in back, but I LOVE...

Agreed, 12V compressor fridges are an amazing solution, especially with all the power banks available now. Plug fridge into power bank, power bank into car, you have an auto-recharging setup. Of course keeping it at 100% SOC all the time damages the power bank. If only battery banks had charge...

Tesla's 150W 12V outlets definitely won't power an RV! LOL But it sounds like even the Rivian + an EcoFlow weren't enough, either. Your 2400 Wh EcoFlow + portable solar panels could power your RV for days, add a 24V LiFePO4 battery to charge the EcoFlow would give you even more power. I would...

Nice! Still, a compressor-based fridge lets you store more stuff. I've lived in swamp cooler country (El Paso, Apple Valley), and it's effective and energy efficient, but hopefully we can go solar + heat pumps and save our water. A lot of these places are running out of water as it is! I'm...

Precious power? What about our precious water?!? :P Actually the efficient portable fridges use about 400-500Wh per 24 hrs, eating about 2 miles of range. And get a portable power station, and some fridges have power packs also.

I'm curious, what do you use it for? I've never felt the need for 120V in our MX since 2018. I've just bought USB fans and a 12V tea kettle and an espresso machine (Handpresso Auto), both of which I used once and never again. (We're gonna put the 12V tea kettle back in the MX, as two of our...

Monumental Workx in San Diego is the best shop I've been to. Minority and veteran-owned business, too. Matter of fact, going to make another appointment for my new MS Plaid. For my wife's MX last year I tried Stratos, wasn't worth the $400 savings over Spectra PhotoSync. It's not as clear as...

Any update on this situation? Did you dispute the charge? I hadn't thought of this scenario. Tesla should automatically suspend all subscriptions EVERY time it's in the shop.

Has anyone heard from Tesla about whether they will pass the savings on to us if we lease a Model S or Model X?

It's great that your car meets your needs the way it is. But that doesn't mean a power frunk upgrade is not helpful to others. For my Model X Plaid, if we want to use all 6 seats, it leaves very little cargo space, hence a usable frunk would be great.

I wonder if there are enough TMCers that we can get the group discount? I'm all in, and I may have 2-3 more family/friends interested, but no solid commitments yet other than me.

What kind of numbers (how many per month) are we talking? Have you seen a pattern of what cars and what size wheels are getting bent? Is it possible that a combination of very low profile tires, a whole lot of rotational inertia, and an extra 1000 lbs of weight compared to similar sedans could...

Let's get another group install going for SoCal, I'm in San Diego. I'm definitely not interested in DIY'ing this. :)

Seems like a broad generalization from one data point, and inconsistent with my experience. 1) I've never had bent or broken wheels, and 2) I've been in two major accidents in two 2018 MX's where the MX's were totaled, and wife and I walked away with just bruises and airbag burns. Their...

Watch this: The short version is: 1. the lighter the wheel, the less rotational inertia, so less energy to accelerate -> better city range 2. aero covers should reduce turbulent air flow -> better highway range Any engineers that can answer this? It seems to me that beyond just a lighter...

Do you guys have any updates on June or July dates for SoCal? San Diego, maybe?

Check out Litespeed Racing. I'm planning on getting their RS5 19's for our MX and also for my MS to share 1 set of aero covers for road trips. Should be about 22 lb in forged aluminum, 19 lbs in magnesium (for MX; 17-18 lb for MS). Though they say 18 lb for the 20's, maybe I'll get 20's for both.

Or I could both get ultralight aero wheels AND drive slower. :)

Thanks, @basilray! That's reassuring, looks normal. Not super sleek like 22's, but not goofy. TBH I don't like the look of 22's, I think 20's look just right.

I’m seriously considering getting 19” Mag alloy wheels from Litespeed racing specifically for range on my wife’s MX. They also make aero style wheel covers, so I want to get 19” wheels for a MS so the aero covers are interchangeable and I can put them on whichever car us going to go long...

Oh, one more ?: You mention 15% off on this page, 10% off on your website, how do we access those discounts? Maybe a quality discount for both cars? Thanks.

Going to get a MS Plaid soon, looking to increase range by reducing unsprung weight. I started out looking at lighter wheels but now also looking at brake rotors. Impressive weight savings! I had no idea. Plus, in addition to weight savings I’m also excited about better braking and ride quality...

How did you talk to a person? I keep getting stuck in a phone menu loop; I choose "3" for "existing order", it says "you're being transferred to an associate, stay on the line for a 2-question survey, then right back to "what are you calling about?" Interesting, I was hoping I could upgrade to...

What was your order date? We're pulling our hair out! We ordered an MX LR on June 5, days after our 2018 MX was totaled on June 1, 2021. Our delivery estimate has slipped from December-January to Jan-Feb to March to July. I was hoping for a 2022 for resale value, but now it looks like I might be...

We have both a 2014 Mercedes GL350 BlueTEC (for towing an Airstream Bambi) and a 2018 MX (6 seats), and the two big things that differentiate the two (one has NOT been mentioned): 1. The full wide access to the second row WITHOUT needing 3 feet of clearance. I’ve had to pull the GL partially...

I have a 2014 Mercedes GL and a 2018 MX, for me the Mercedes has WAY harder cushions. The MX is quite supple and hugs my curves. And the ride on the MX is SOOOOO much more comfortable over bumps than the Mercedes. As for narrow, I’ve never noticed; I assumed seat widths were somewhat...

+1 CO Proud. Hate walking into my garage only to have to go back for the key. At your home location, should be able to turn off auto-lock.

@OP, great suggestion. I think a LOT of features should be smarter, e.g. in non-Tesla vehicles, there’s already a pressure sensor that deactivates the front passenger airbag; why not let a passenger program the navigation. (Tesla at least does not nanny-nag Navi programming.) But it does strike...

Same issue here, picked up 12.2018, a small rivulet of water poured down from the seal near the top hinge of the FWD. I’ll have to make an appointment. But since it almost never rains in SoCal, may not get around to it, if I’m being honest.

Does your car have air suspension? Are you set to very low height?

@hingisfan this worked for me as well!!! Happened to my 2015 MS without power lift gate this week. Thanks for posting!

This was helpful, but pushing the switch car button doesn’t actually do anything for me. Still stuck on the same car.

@VladB and @hiroshiy, I think between the two of you and VladB's mobile service technician, you may have figured out something a LOT of us have been experiencing (it's been driving me mildly bonkers too). I think the MX's sensors tell it whether or not it's inside a garage at the home location...

Wow, this is both awesome for you guys getting the price adjustments and depressing for me who didn't when they lowered my MX price by $2500 in mid-July (raised base price $3500 but included Premium Upgrade Package which cost me $6000). My DS said I would lose my $2500 deposit and have to wait...

I can't 100% guarantee my 2015 MS steering wheel is genuine leather, but it IS shinier than it was when new, has a few scratches on it, and feels substantial, doesn't feel fake. My 2018 MX steering wheel doesn't feel solid, feels cheap and spongy. My 2-month old MX 100D was totaled in an...

I was in a 4-car pileup on 10.30.2018 in my 2018 MX 100D (picked up new on 8.30.2018, totaled literally 2 months later). I really needed dash cam footage so the wrong party wouldn't get blamed, but was only able to get an unreadable file from the dash cam. Of course, I did not have my USB stick...

I beg to differ with those claiming standard genuine leather. I took delivery of MX 100D in late August 2018, and mine DEFINITELY has vegan leather wrapped wheel. Feels spongy and totally different from the genuine leather wrap of my 2015 MS. BTW, anyone know where I can get my steering wheel...

@jorobsand, I looked at the TopFit one (DAERIK did a vlog post about it), but it covers up the rest of the center console; we use the large cupholders a lot. My wife always has a huge Hydroflask in there, plus our two coffees.

The 1G 40A mobile connector is a LOT thicker than the 32A 2G mobile connector. I still think the mobile connectors are overpriced compared to the HPWC which is now down to $500, $20 less than the 1G mobile connector.

Do you have the Evannex one? Looks nice, but not sure I want to upset that beautiful flat floor.

I've been researching wireless Qi options for the Model S, looked at a couple of threads. I just got an email today saying the Enblue was back in stock. Looked at their photos, I'm not terribly impressed. Enblue: Pros: easy install, no tools required Cons: slow charge, blocks cubby access...

It's been 3 months... any update on your tutorial? This still looks really slick, if the disassembly could be minimized. Thanks! David

I wasn't paying attention, but mine seemed to take less than a week from finalizing my order to the phone call from the delivery specialist in Las Vegas saying my 3 had been built. I'd ordered two, and the other still had 3 weeks to go of its 4 week window, but they accelerated that so we could...

No problems here, next gen leather seats, I installed my car seat base with the Isofix mount points. One side was trickier to latch than the other, but if you feel with your fingers, it's easy to feel the bars. If you look at how long the Isofix clips on the car seat bases, you can see they're...

I don’t know if you looked at the Kuat racks, but I have the Eco Hitch and the Kuat NV with the add-on for 4 bike capacity and it’s amazingly simple to use; our friends used it once and replaced their rack with the NV 2.0. If you don’t need 4 bikes the Kuat Sherpa is lighter weight, cheaper, and...

Thanks all for the verification that 128GB cards work fine despite only being "compatible" up to 64GB. I'll look at these. At least on Mac, the steps are rather simple, as linked above by SMAlset's first post; here it is again: How to get a 64GB+ MicroSD to work with Macs (Mac OSX, 10.11.6, El...

It wasn't just a regret for me, it was a SHOCK that a car I paid $100K for would come with a manual lift gate. I didn't need the stuff in the luxury package, but somehow I missed that it was the only way to get the power lift gate. Sadly, they chose to nickel-and-dime you to death like the...

I finally plugged in my DR650GW 2-CH I had installed about 1.5 yrs ago (I was too busy to deal with troubleshooting the "Please check the SD card" error). I got a 64GB Sony SDXC Class I 70MB/s. First, I formatted it using the 10-second press of the "WIFI" button. Worked fine for recording, but...

Haven't read all 82 pages, but I read the first 20 or so. Seems to me 3 major issues at play here: 1. Flat UI. Skeuomorphism (fake design cues from structures necessary in the original) is out, hence all the flat UIs everywhere. Fake raised curved chrome elements reminiscent of old Cadillacs...

+1 on the iOS widget. Any updates on this? I think a very simplified charging status/temperatures view would be AWESOME, with a swipe taking you to the app, of course. THANKS: I love TouchID support... I HATE typing my password into the "official" app. BUG REPORT (I think). The "charging...
