    I have to replace front upper control arms and sway bar after 64K/4+ years?

    I had some loud creaking while steering while in motion and the Bellevue WA Service Center informs me my both front upper control arms and the sway bar need to be replaced to the tune of $1827.50. My model X is 64K miles and just over 4 years (out of warranty) so this is very frustrating. No...

    Cost to fix busted/bent USB outlets?

    My X is heading into its 3rd year of service and the 2nd row USB outlets have taken a beating from various yanks over the years. Curious about repair and costs.

    Downtown Seattle Service Center or Bellevue Service Center?

    Between home and work I can use either one - curious if anyone prefers one over the other.

    Video: Jaywalker sought after smashing into Tesla in Bellevue Very odd. (And not mine)

    Supercharging on I90 can be lonely

    My family is on our first big Tesla trip from Seattle to Big Sky/Yellowstone. My supercharger experience (all during daytime as well) has been: Ellensburg: 30 minutes - 1 other Tesla Ritzville: 30 minutes - nobody Coeur d'Alene - 1 hour - nobody Superior - 20 minutes - 1 other Tesla Missoula...

    Leaving X overnight at remote trailheads?

    In my 30 years of parking cars at trailheads, I've only had one bad experience (a smash and grab break-in). Considering a short overnight trip (2 nights) where I would leave my X at a fairly busy (dozens of cars come and go each day), but remote (not one right off a highway) trailhead in the...

    Does Tesla release stats on paint choices?

    I exported some data out of ModelXTracker and came up with this: Color Count Deep Blue 197 Midnight Silver 164 Pearl White 132 Obsidian Black 110 Titanium 109 Signature Red 89 White 84 Black 77 Red 67 Silver 55 Undecided/Not chosen 984 But of course this data just...

    Set Charging Limit - set to a value less than 50%?

    Is there a technical reason why we can't set the charging limit to a value less than 50%? There are times when drivers may want to limit charging to a lower value. Example: Getting back from a long drive at night. I need a little bit of charge by morning, but not allot. I want to do my...

    Surprised auto perpendicular parking isn't available at SuperChargers

    (Scenario where no other cars are adjacent to an available spot) I kind of assumed this would have been a "no brainer" for Tesla. Since most SuperChargers require a back in perpendicular parking, wish it were automatic process.

    Why is taking WeatherTech so long to come out with X floor mats?

    Seems odd that for a company that touts how high tech they are that they can't pump them out faster. Were they similarly slow with S floor mats?

    How current is the naviation data?

    I used the Tesla navigation system yesterday to take me to part of Seattle I'm not familiar with and it tried to have me go on a road that has been closed for the past 3 years (Light rail construction). I can understand recent changes, but 3 years? Sorry for the newbie question, but is this...

    Anyone else find the Touchscreen Door Closing UI confusing?

    I've only been an X owner for about a week now but have multiple times clicked the wrong button when meaning to close a FWD, and instead opened the driver or passenger doors. Happens when I am trying to be quick (like child drop off). My brain is trained that top means front, but in the UI, the...

    How common is a unexpected reboot of the touchscreen?

    (I am brand New X owner.) Put in a destination for Navigation. Started driving but when I look down the touchscreen was black. (Everything else worked fine.) About a minute later the display came back to exactly where it was before. Just curious about how common this is.

    Driving in Deer country

    Curious about how good the emergency breaking system is in regards to deer, elk, etc. Any information about this? (My X delivery is June 1 - I hit a deer in a non Tesla vehicle on I90 near Ellensburg, WA, early Sunday morning so I'm a little bit curious...)
