I had a very similar issue recently on my 2016 X. I put new tires and new Tesla wheels in Jan 2022 at the Tesla SC. The alignment was off and the SC did alignment twice last in April. Before I put 8500 miles the two rear had gone completely bald and in fact one of them blew on the highway as I...

Still looking for PW2 and gateway

Please DM me if you have a Powerwall 2 to sell.

How well does Tesla roof do for heat control as compared to normal roof like Spanish tile?

I think what they mean is technology hasn’t been around long enough to find and resolve issues as compared to PV panels.

Hi - we are in planning stage for a custom home and every builder we have talked to is trying to talk us out of doing solar roof saying the technology is too new and not yet stable. From our respected member community, if you have a Tesla or another integrated solar roof, I will appreciate...

Tried this on my X with a DoorKing gate and it worked like a charm. Thanks for sharing!

As of 9:30am this morning, Tesla Insurance has the capability to add additional drivers but not the cars. They said the software update was released but hasn’t replicated through systems yet. For me with my spouse, a kid in college and a teenage driver, Tesla came out about $50/month higher...

I have been a GEICO customer in California for over 10 years and I have maxed out all kinds of discounts they provide including multi-line. At Nov 2018 renewal, Model X and Model 3 together 6 month premium=$1883 with a teenage driver and another college student driver on the account. May 2019...

In my 2016 X it was the condenser lines that were switched. Once they reinstalled the lines the jet engine mode is gone. Not sure if that’s the same issue with current models. Also, remember when the car is still, there is no wind cooling down the battery so the fans have to work harder.

There are several threads on energy efficiency especially if you search in the Model S forum. Besides your driving habits and terrain, the other factors that will vary your mileage are outside temperature and the winds. Winds take away a big chunk. There’s a browser based app one of the S owners...

Perfectly fine. I have waited hours in my cars with AC on. There are reports of people camping in their Teslas too.

Thanks @Lex_MIT for MIT’s scientific research confirming my post.

Annoying but understandable. However, there's one thing they can do and Tesla has talked about this earlier but not got around to do it - have driver profiles available across vehicles. You get a new vehicle and everything has to be set up all over again even items that are common across...

And I ordered 19" wheels but the car was delivered with 18in Aero. The car was sitting in the SC lot for a week and they did not notice the discrepancy till we pointed it out to them at delivery. Now, I have a due bill and have to wait for the 19" wheels to come in.

There is no tire rotation for Model X. The front and rear tires are different sizes and thus cannot be rotated. They can be swapped from left to right but according to America's Tire, that does not make a significant difference unless you had tire balancing issue with one side and wore it out...

I think Tesla delivery org is finally catching up to the mass produced car model. Thus far they were operating on a custom car delivery model for Model S and X. With the Model 3, they have to re-engineer their delivery process just as they are re-engineering their production. Mass produce a...

@roverman - why do you say take the X every year for service? Why is that different from S or 3?

Stay charged and be ready. We hope you won’t have to evacuate. Wish you the best

Why This Big Oil CEO Is Buying an Electric Car

@tizio - hat tip to you. You make it worthwhile to browse this forum.

So they specifically left out Model 3 from the supercharging plan ? :confused::confused::confused: Maybe a way to push people to buy Model S instead of 3.

@FlyF4 - if an EV owner believes that they are helping save the earth and they own a 100% clean car, let them be happy about it. Why would anyone want to bust their bubble? The people who need to be educated are the gas guzzlers who think that global warming is a myth and nothing bad is going...

Besides yourself, does anyone have access to the Tesla app or any other app that has access to your car?

Umm..no..it's definitely not..you don't even notice the wrap on the car. My S was not wrapped and after 27K miles 18 months there are some little white dots on the hood. Not that I tailgate. Plus it gets dirtier faster than my X that I got wrapped. X has had a few things come flying on it and...

XPel actually gives you a No Wash sign to hang on the mirror.

That's what my installer recommended. Most of the service centers use a third party detailer who do power washes. And the wrap may peel from power wash.

Wash n vacuum is always included I believe. Since my X is wrapped, I have to remember to tell them no wash.

That's an awesome feature request. This would take care of another issue. I usually begin my day with conf calls while driving in to work. When I reach office, I switch from car to my in ear BT headset. But while I am getting my stuff out of the car, my call keeps getting ping-ponged between the...

I have noticed this and though I haven't methodically documented when this happens, my gut feel is that it is related to driver profiles.

X90D 20" tires 18K miles/12 months Avg 365kWh On a full charge the car estimates 246miles range. This used to be 253 last year. In reality, with average 70-75mph highway driving typical NorCal weather, I get 78-82% of the estimated range. The 18-22% loss can be attributed to higher speeds...

My friend was helping me load a bunch of balloons for my wife's birthday. He was at the rear holding the balloons with the hatch open. I go from FWD inside so I can hold the balloons while he closes the lift gate. Unfortunately, the key fob in my pocket hit something and all doors started to...

Seems like Tesla listened to the feedback and 8.1 has a headrest adjustment :)

@David29 - completely agree with you. I had a situation today and I did take over but was wondering the same. Traffic was stopped on the highway but I was quite far off and I know that my car would slow down when it comes closer. But a white Yukon decided to jump his lane into mine. My car did...

If you check your Nav and zoom into Folsom, you will be able to check status. If it is down it will have a red circle with a slash and a label saying it's down.

Just couple of weeks back in SF on 101N, I had a similar situation. A car two lanes left of me suddenly jumped a lane. The BMW in that lane jumped lane into my lane to avoid impact. The first car jumped another lane so now suddenly I had two additional cars in front of me (the BMW and the other...

Darn! You beat me to it :p

@BerTX - yes you are absolutely correct ..that is a limitation that people should be aware of. And I am hoping that AP2 will resolve.

Nice! Had a similar experience on our Canada trip last summer on I5 around Mt Shasta/Grants Pass section. I drove 13hours straight from Multnomah Falls in Washington to our home in Folsom through the night and AP1 was a huge help. Everyone else slept through the entire drive. I took my naps...

Has this been submitted to Tesla by anyone yet?

Having done several trips long and short in last 18months with our S and X, I agree with @Ugliest1 and @bxr140. From some of the other posts I have across in TMC from frustrated new owners, I believe that it is a mindset change. With ICE vehicles, we get used to making a pit stop at the gas...

@mohanman - seems like one of the seals for your doors is not fitting properly. You should have Tesla check it out. Your experience is definitely not normal. We have done almost 18K miles on our X in about a year now. Road noise is not an issue for us at all.

Maybe even put an Intel Inside sticker :p

@Allante - did your SC measure the noise levels and say that they were within tolerance? Your experience is definitely way worse than mine. I don't hear anything even if someone walks up to the window and speaks to me.

Great report. As someone interested in a trailer like you got, it was very helpful.

Welcome to the Tesla and X family. Hope you will enjoy many road trips with your X and share them on TMC.

Tesla launches Mobile Tire Service program in San Francisco to help stranded drivers

With ICE cars, i can understand the benefits of coasting especially when gas is $4/gallon. But with Tesla, I don't see what OP will achieve by coasting - a few more, maybe 20 miles, from a full battery before you get to the next supercharger or your home? If it's supercharger, what do you gain...
