    Wiki Trailer-friendly Supercharger Locations

    There are new trailer spots in Primm, NV and the new 250KW chargers behind the outlet mall at Barstow. Some idiot was using the one at Barstow even though he was the only other vehicle there - wish they were more obvious that they were for trailers.

    Difference between 2022.24.5 and 2022.24.6

    Still on 2022.12.3 but my wife's 3 just updated to 2022.20.11 that is supposed to have new FSD

    SR+ and 80% charge

    The charge range shown is based on use history and - some of shown reduction is probably due to history of getting less miles in use. Also is likely partially due to calibration - suggest recalibrate/rebalance cells. I believe you need to go below 5% and above 95% to do the recalibration -...

    First time Tesla buyer; Model x

    I drove the other 2 SUVs before trading our S for an X. The Jag is very small inside, doubt could get 3 car seats in it, more of a tall car - controls not very thought out. The Audi probably would fit but an EV trying to imitate gas version. Tesla would fit 3 car seats and was best at...

    Tesla trade-in value on their own car brand Tesla? higher value or no?

    When traded in a Hyundai for a Tesla S, Tesla was lower initially but agreed to match CarMax offer. When we traded the S for an X, I think they gave us a fair amount on the S.

    Buying a used AP1 Model X... is this a bad idea?

    I had a Model S 75D with AP-1, now have a Model X with AP-3. AP-1 does everything that is really important without FSD.

    SC confirmed for FSD upgrade(MCU1, AP2.5)

    To turn on the FSD features, it needs to download new map via WiFi and then reboot. My wife's model 3 had chip upgrade last Friday for FSD upgrade AP2 to AP3, could turn on visualization but not FSD - note below the greyed button gives the info on map needed. Once map finished, still...

    Day 2 of Ownership - No A/C

    Try reboot first see if fixes the situation. Call the local service center if that doesn't work, If it is essentially undrivable they were fit you in - you can also ask for a mobile tech, sometimes can get that quicker than service center appointment. . Do you hear the compressor running...

    Appt for HW 2.5 to 3.0 Retro tomorrow. Should I?

    I believe my X came with 3.0 HW, I have one of the last built pre Ravens - my DW has 2.5 HW on her Model 3 - some small differences but unsure how much is due to platform. My X displays more info like traffic cones - don't know about any issues.

    All Weather Floor Mats 3dMAXspider or ToughPro?

    There is a thread about floor mats in the X The Best All Weather Floor Mats for Tesla Model X | Tesla that covers the 3D MAXpider, Toughpro and weathertech. The consensus seemed to be the MAXpider, One guy had both the Toughpro and 3D, he preferred the 3D MAXpider. I am using the Tesla...

    Could Tesla Model 3 Performance Match Taycan’s 24-Hr Endurance Record?

    This is interesting but doesn't answer the basic question - can the Model 3 beat the Taycan in going 2149 miles in the test environment of its choosing not the one Porsche used. I assume Porsche used the best environment for its car. The best environment for the Tesla could be higher speed...

    2016 75D - CPO with a major heart-wrenching issue

    A 75D car built Dec 2016 should be able to be uncorked - but sounds like you have a 75 not a 75D - I believe only a few 75s were capable of faster times, They had to be built mid 2017 or so as I recall and were delivered that way, not uncorked after. My S75D VIN 157xxx was built in May 2016...

    5 Seat Raven HVAC

    My understanding is that all versions of the X have the same compressor - the 6 & 7 seat add another evaporator coil and fan. The second evaporator is probably more for distribution rather than extra capacity. I have a 5 seat in Las Vegas, so far no issue but LV has little humidity.

    What accessories you get with Raven M X?

    I picked up my X on 6/27, I did get a 14-50 adapter but my keys were just in a bubble wrap bag, no lanyard.

    My experience at the Jaguar and Audi Dealerships today for their EVs

    I test drove both the iPace and eTron Friday back to back (dealers next to each other). Neither dealer was really ready to sell an EV since they did not know the cars very well and the differences between competing vehicles. I liked both in some ways but the screen operations were not very...

    2019 MX (Raven) Charging rate between LR and SR

    If put in 100% reference speed - you get a significant difference - 16.56 for Raven LR, 17.25 for 100D, 18.20 for Raven SR & 18.40 for 75D. Approx 29 min between Raven LR and 100D, 1hr and 24 between LR and SR Raven. The original setup looks like was set up to go 55 MPH (55/65 = 0.846)

    Towing an Alto F1743 trailer with a Model X

    Just to clarify, not all trailers over 1500 lbs have to have brakes in CA - all trailers with a GVW of 3,000 lbs. or more and coach or camp trailer with a GVW of 1,500 lbs. or more must be equipped with brakes on at least 2 wheels. I have 6x14 utility trailer rated at 2990 lbs. that has no...

    Inventory 100, a good deal?

    It looks like a decent deal, with a new order you would also not get FSC. FYI - If you ask, they will swap the Sonic for Standard rims and take 2k off. All Model Xs built in 2019 have XM capability but you may find don't need it with streaming service used. I am somewhat in the same...

    Extension cord for charging at 110V?

    I have charged 2 Tesla Cars, a S and a 3, off an extension cord for years with zero issues. It is a cord similar to what was pictured earlier, rated at 50 Amps - it doesn't get hot.

    Creep on or off and why

    I prefer creep off - better control and I don't see any advantage to creep. Creep is a product of automatic transmissions in ICE vehicles, cars with manual transmissions don't have creep.

    Model Y Performance vs Jaguar iPace

    I saw an iPace in a parking lot the other day, exterior was nicer in person than the pics but was more the height of a hatchback than an SUV, the interior was nice if you like buttons. I can afford an iPace but will be buying the Y over it, will drive my S till then - has more space than the Jag.

    Standard vs Low regen and rear tire life?

    Most Model S's are AWD (designated with xxxD's) - with motors on both axles and both being used to propel and regenerate/slow the car with the motor/generator. The original post was for a non-D but you are leaving the impression that all Model S's are RWD.

    70D uncorked?

    As I recall, the car had to have an updated drive unit to be uncorked to get the 4.2 0-60 time. That drive unit was first available about June 2016 so there may be a few software restricted 70D's (really 75D battery) that can be updated but probably no true 70D's.

    Who has driven LR and P or D?

    I have a Model 3 RWD and a Model S 75D uncorked. I test drove a P-AWD Model 3 and it is much much faster than the standard 3 RWD (and faster than the S 75D). The 3s both drive close to the same other than acceleration (the P didn't have track button) but didn't have the opportunity to do...

    Replacement Tires Redux

    Anybody successfully gotten a priority bump after purchasing a MS/MX?

    Anybody successfully gotten a priority bump after purchasing a MS/MX?

    I have had this problem also - I made 2 reservations for Model 3 waiting in line in CA. I bought a Model S Nov 2016 which should give one of my reservations priority. Both my reservations show the same date, about a month after most owners in CA (Nov-Jan) for first production or...
