    You can not dispute errors- because it’s always in Teslas favor .

    So I recently purchased two cars in Mid December , 1. 2016 Model S P90D with Ludicrous + mode this was trucked to me by open car carrier over aeveral days and was shuffled multiple times. and one day later a 2. 2023 Model X long range . This delivered over multiple days by a much more...

    Model X long range plus range loss

    My 2022 refresh I only registered 313 miles when I got it and then the range went down from there I never saw the range expected to get on my model X. I actually didn’t notice much of a range difference between that and my 2017 90d Except that I could drive more normally to get the same range

    Designing a Travel Trailer for Model X

    That is correct. It’s really a pain in the ass for me, because I would’ve much rather had a 2019 with a raven suspension with unlimited lifetime free super charging and more range. Instead I’m pretty much stuck with a smaller battery, yet I’ve paid more in payments to buy more than a single car...

    Power Inverters for newer 16V Outlet Cars

    Well I have one of those slime 12 V tire inflator from Walmart I’m sure they’re cheap. But the inflator completely burnt out after just a few minutes of use I couldn’t even pump up all of my tires. It could’ve been really bad because I was stuck in an underground parking garage and one my...

    Best TRUNK refrigerator/freezer in 5 seater Model X refresh vs Original Model X.

    Well all of the dimensions are too tall. And if the smallest was smallest width it would be way too high. 15.67"D x 27.32"W x 16.02"H. This is the size of the Dometic CFX3-35 The width (length ) is fine . You can just squeeze on Yeti Hopper Flip 18 in there to use as a fridge - and take out...

    Ohmman's Airstream Adventures

    People have tended to mount the mini split compressor where the twin propane tanks on the front of the trailer would normally be. I considered buying a Already converted SilverStreak up in Washington State that already had the conversion done. She said it works wonderfully and is EXTREMELY...

    Ohmman's Airstream Adventures

    If Airstream owners were to remove the AC and instead put in a mini split . thus making the roof more aerodynamic as well as making the AC silent to use. I think that might help. Also as you increase the length of the trailer such that 3X the width of 8' is reached don't they get a better CD/

    Need advice on delivery. Kinda a horror show.

    It took several months, but Tesla did replace the car. :) I lost the ventilated seats and had to take a different color. :(The replacement car, was delivered to the wrong dealer some 940 miles off delaying things a few more weeks and arrived with some hood damage.:mad: They tried to buff it...

    Blog Tesla Invites Consumers to Experience the Tesla Arcade

    Well how much really does it cost to download a game into a computer and assign a few buttons? I agree it is probably an intern type thing done for free or very low cost and perhaps as a test. Tesla has to attract new buyers. My best friend who is also 55 used to play these same games with me...

    Blog Tesla Invites Consumers to Experience the Tesla Arcade

    I am frustrated that I have to transcode all my ALAC files to FLAC. No apple play, no support of high Rez audio, no analog in and no USB in. Plus its very hard to upgrade the audio system (And yes I actually know Larry Ho and Gavin Fish formerly of Light Harmonic, and was talking with Paul of...

    Well, looks like I just got Tempest. Whole lot of fun if you ask me. Used some wired knock off PS4 controller with it. ( GF's son...."Hey has anyone seen my controller ?" (I am heard snickering in the background). As for Elon wanting attention..and struggling with FSD Let's pretend you were him...

    Blog Tesla Invites Consumers to Experience the Tesla Arcade

    I certainly don't think Tesla is short sighted about doing this. First off. Tesla needs to copy Mercedes and BMW and other successful service center strategies at this point because their attempts at reinventing the car ownership experience were awful at first for delivery (I was given a...

    Where to 110 V receptacles and 12 V to 110 V inverter in Model X

    I bought a Morning star sure sine 300 watt inverter. It produces a clean sine wave (hopefully). What I like about it is it has a user setable low voltage turn off, audible alarms, and it uses no annoying cooling fans so it is completely silent. It's also built like a tank. But because it is...

    Winter Tires question - rolling resistance?

    My apologies for so many typos in my previous post. I put too much trust in Siri. One other thing we did as snowboard company owners is we would ride in each other's Suburbans and F-150s and the only thing that really different about them where the snow tires. Certain brands weren't really too...

    Winter Tires question - rolling resistance?

    https://tekniikanmaailma.fi/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/tm_17_2016_english.pdf This was a really thorough test. It looks like the Nokian wins for rolling resistance. The reason why am posting this whole thread is so that people can give me their winter experience of last year with their tire...

    Need advice on delivery. Kinda a horror show.

    The Tesla sales staff assured me that they had caught up with orders and could have my car in 30 days- that's why I plunked down yet again for Model X . It still took about 5 months to get the dented car. I was under the impression I had a 30 day satisfaction return policy. They offered no...

    Need advice on delivery. Kinda a horror show.

    @EarlyAdopter I typically stayed at one ski resort and they stayed at home. In emergencies I have taken them with me in an ICE car but once they almost died from heat when I overslept when I was sailing and could not get back to the car quick enough in summer. And a few times I was unable to get...

    Need advice on delivery. Kinda a horror show.

    @Zaphod. I wish it was BS. then I'd have a nice car. I just had to explain the turtles thing because an ICE car won't keep them warm while I was out snowboarding. I have had them for 11 years. I use the Camper mode for them. I can't use that with the loaners or summon since they don't allow you...

    Need advice on delivery. Kinda a horror show.

    The car was a 2017 Model X 75d with every option a five seater. Ventilated seats, premium sound, cold weather package, towing, air suspension, automatic doors, and free supercharging for life. I was told that if I did not take the car the replacement car would not have supercharging included...

    Need advice on delivery. Kinda a horror show.

    Why is this in the Model X forum? I wanted an unbiased poll. Unbiased responses which is why I did not list the automaker . The car was a Model X ( some of the parts in Teslas are German (turn signals for instance ) and Mercedes has a financial stake in Tesla and Tesla is the second oldest...

    Need advice on delivery. Kinda a horror show.

    I have (2) Model 3 on order. Or I could just get a Model X for the GF I'm wondering what your delivery experience was like. Here's how delivery went on an unnamed Luxury auto brand $100K car + with Some German heritage. I'm looking for opinions of what is fair. I ordered a car, it was...

    Ski/snowboard rack

    I have a model X with autopilot 2 and so I won't want to block sensors or cameras. I have a Yakima full swing bike rack, is there a way to adapt that for snowboards? I really like that I can swing everything to the side to get full trunk access. I see there is a Tesla (Yakima) tilt rack...

    Great Ski Rack (minor DIY required) for Model X

    Hmmm that sucks. If I made an optical periscope for the tail lights that is a work around- but its wouldn't have the wide viewing angle needed without a curved reflector lens.. Of course I can think of 4 other work arounds. It seems silly that AP wouldn't be disabled for a ski rack on a hitch...

    Great Ski Rack (minor DIY required) for Model X

    Plus I have an snowboard friend who works as cabin crew and he could easily bring one back for me. In practice , I wonder how much more I would prefer a swing out box compared to the drop down box. The swing out box can serve as a table. Whereas the other box is always in the way of getting to...

    Great Ski Rack (minor DIY required) for Model X

    Part of me is tempted just to design a unit with a refrigerator capacity as well. Then If I wanted to go fishing... I could bring it. If I make it out of fiberglas it won't hold odor either and I could use the same box for scuba diving as well- tailgating etc.

    MFT 1503 Euro-Select Box - Einsatz, Klein, Breite : 1540 mm: Amazon.de: Auto From the video on amazon I see the width is variable. I could go to Europe and pick one up. I see its shipping length is only 154cm

    Great Ski Rack (minor DIY required) for Model X

    @awillys and others. I am really interested in what lockable box solutions work with AP2. 1. Anyone with AP2 try the MFT box? I only mention AP2 because they have 8 cameras. So having something behind might cause an issue. 2. I am assuming that you just buy one MFT box size and there are...

    How about a TESLA Motors Camper?

    And as it turned out Breemo bought most of the remaining cells from the roadster, at a pretty steep discount.

    How about a TESLA Motors Camper?

    A skateboard racing friend of mine, Micheal Bream, owns a company that sells conversion kits to electrify cars. If someone wanted to foot the bill. I'd manage a project like this to create a compelling prototype.

    How about a TESLA Motors Camper?

    I've been contemplating buying a Vixen with the 21foot long 21td (turbo Diesel) getting 30mpg. the drag coefficient for the Vixen at .29 isn't far from Teslas .24 for model X. Not bad for something 8 inches wider than an Econoline van and 21 feet long that just barely fits in the average...

    Front End... Hmmmmmm

    Best front ye, More modern. Fits better wth the overall shape of the car.

    Model 3 is beautiful!

    That flat dashboard is so symmetrical , it will be very good for audiophile sound reproduction as the two sides are near acoustic equals. My only wish is that the steering column could moved to a centered position for single driver use.
