    Replacement Brake Pad Part Number Information

    I don't know if anyone else will find this useful, but I thought I might save someone else the same hours of frustration that I experienced. I went to lube the brake pad contact points and pins in my 2016 MX 75D. Rear pads slid right out with no problems, but the front pads and pins had a lot...

    TPMS Fault after Firmware Update

    Car: Aug 2016, AP1 MX; Software: 2019.32.12.3 1b89dd1 A forum search showed some MS owners having problems with the car not recognizing TPMS sensors of new tires, but my issue is a little different. Immediately after the update to 2019.32.12.3, I get a continuous "Tire Pressure Monitoring...

    Contacting Denver Littleton Service Center

    Does anyone have a reliable way to contact Denver Littleton service center? I get no answer at either the Littleton or Evans phone numbers; voice mails go unanswered; and as of today (19 Jun) the Littleton voicemail box is full. I tried emailing to [email protected], that I've used...

    MX Extended Service Agreement (ESA)

    As I get close to 50k miles I'm struggling with the decision to purchase the 4-year ESA. We plan to keep the MX for many years, so the decision is one of the value of the ESA. My question is that I have read on the forum that even with the ESA, there is a $200 deductible per failed component...

    Winter Camping with the MX

    During a winter camping trip in the Rockies in Feb, I ended up with two jugs of frozen drinking water , one in the car and one in our tent, in the morning. This weekend, we used an RV site to set up our tent and had access to a TT-30 socket (122 V, 24 A). I discovered a great use for camper...

    Bridgestone Blizzak Efficiency Numbers

    I just completed my first winter with 19" Bridgestone Blizzak DMV2 winter tires. I set a trip meter on the day I installed them, and below are the results from the day I changed them out this week. This is for my Aug 2016 MX 75D. Regular tires are the OEM 20" Conti-Silent. First, the...

    Denver Service Center Contact Update- Mar 2018

    If other Denver, CO customers are like me and have been around since the old Evans Rd facility was open, you have collected a variety of phone numbers and emails with which to contact the SC. Some of them work, others are no longer valid. In setting up for my next annual routine maintenance, I...

    Uncork Impact on Efficiency?

    I know that it's been a short timeframe since uncorking began. But, has anyone with a newly uncorked MX 75D seen any obvious impact, better or worse, on your energy efficiency? Is the efficiency constant line on the energy display still showing 320 Wh/mile? Thanks.

    Supercharger - Poncha Springs, CO

    The online permit search for Chaffee County CO has been down for the last two weeks. I called the Building Department today and was told that they have the permit application for the Poncha Springs Supercharger, and it is under review. The permit has not yet been issued. Good news for the US...

    Faraday Cage...by RevereWare

    We were at a motel last week where our X was parked less than 5 feet from the front wall. I locked the car but would see it wake and unlock through the window. We moved both keys to the furthest point away in the room with no luck. The car kept waking up, unlocking and taunting us with its...

    Eliminated the Center Console "Black Hole"

    After reading posts about items, such as cell phones, sliding back in the gap between the dash storage cubby and the sliding door console storage area, I decided to eliminate this problem. I had some scrap black soft shipping foam. I cut off a 3/4" slice and pushed it back into the gap. Hard to...

    HPWC Phantom Load Measurements

    I was curious about the level of my Nov 2016 High Power Wall Charger (now called the Wall Connector) phantom power loads-- the power consumed that is not going toward charging the battery. Using a Hall effect clamp-on ammeter at the circuit breaker box, I took the following measurements...

    AutoSock 698 Trial Fit

    After the Trak 4x4 chains went out of stock at the Tesla Store, I purchased a set of AutoSock traction devices, part number 698, for my MX with 20" Continental rear tires. I got mine from Amazon. The attached photos show the practice installation. I have not been in snow deep enough yet where I...

    Superchargers- Central Colorado

    The new TM supercharger map for 2017 shows a fair amount of planned activity in central CO next year. It's hard to tell from the resolution of the map, but they appear to be in or near Pueblo, Salida, and Alamosa. This is welcomed news!

    MX Rear Heat Performance

    I was motivated by the -5 deg F temperatures and snow today to finally test the rear compartment heating (cabin heat, not seat heaters). In the front, with the temperature set to 65 deg, after a minute I'm getting toasty hot air from the vents. But in the rear, with the temperature set to 79...

    Precondition without App?

    I thought I had read a thread on this a while back, but I can't find it. I was at a remote campsite this weekend but couldn't use the app to pre-heat the car because of no cell service. If I turned on the heater sitting in the car, it would turn off when getting out and closing the door. Is...

    Loose Lug Nut Covers

    Here's a heads up... I took our X on its first long trip this past weekend. Prior to leaving I wanted to make sure I could remove the lug nut covers with the tools I had loaded in the car. When I barely touched the first cover with pliers, it fell out. I checked the rest just with fingers...
