    S 60D Arrived with Perforated

    Is your VIN number between 40,000 to 42,500? I am trying to find out how Tesla handled transition from perforated to non-perforated seats. When I ordered MX-75 with 7-seater in mid Feb-2017, I had seen Perforated verbiage in the configuration page detail online, but when I received MX in...

    First Big FWD Issue, Help?!

    My MX has lots of issues with FWD. It has been in the shop for five within 100 days of ownership. FWD will not open consistently in variety of situations. The recent repair couple of days ago, on FWD with firmware upgrade has made things worse, as today morning one of the FWD got locked and...

    First Big FWD Issue, Help?!

    That sure is a long shot and kind of a ridiculous, if we have to keep perimeter area clean just to operate FWD. BTW, Tesla manual doesn't recommend doing so.

    Forget about snapping/cracking sound of FWD. Check out the attached pictures of the totally wild incident re my FWD. When 2nd row passenger opened the FWD by pressing the button manually, it extended more than its usual 90 degree and hit the garage door above. I have about 12” clearance from the...

    Model X: Average Wh/mile Tracker

    I have noticed the big difference in wh/mile (even after discounting for 22" tires) between Model S and my Model X under the same driving conditions. I have not seen wh/mile average below 398 even driving very gently at 2600 miles so far. I wonder whether MX batteries are different than MS.

    Driver side Falcon wing door hinge snapping when opening

    My driver's side FWD makes a snapping sound when it is parked closed to another vehicle or if it senses an obstacle in its way of opening. It is strange that snapping sound is very low, if there is any, when opening in an open parking lot without any vehicle around it. I doubt if there are...

    @NCEP: so what was that hissing noise? I do hear a noise like that coming under passenger side. It is heard for few minutes to hours even after vehicle is parked in the garage and/or during battery charging. It is very annoying.

    Same problem when reentering the vehicle, it doesn’t playback the same radio station and/or USB songs.

    Model X: Average Wh/mile Tracker

    Yeah, I agree about the rough ride of 22" OEM wheels, though I too like the look of it. I am not sure whether I would get nearly what I paid for 22" OEM wheels, if I can find a buyer for it, as SC was telling me that these OEM wheels will only fit on MX. Please let me know what you get for your...

    Hi @goneskiian, it looks like 22" is not at all helping with wh/mile average and i hear lot of tire noise. I wonder whether i can use my 22" wheels for 20" Michelin or Goodyear. Thanks.

    Check out this FWD snapping noise. I had heard this snapping noise once during a tight parking within two weeks/500 miles of MX purchase. And since then FWD had been malfunctioning until recently when SC installed a new FWD sensor. However, this snapping noise has now gotten louder while FWD not...

    Model X: Average Wh/mile Tracker

    Hmm... I wonder why 20" is not yielding better than 390's as many users are reporting? Is it because of moist/hot air of FL or driving style/road conditions/battery temp?? Looks like I spent $5500 for nothing, of course, other than a killer look of 22" black wheels!!!! I liked @ Vandacca's...

    Many of you live in hot/cold/hilly areas and still manage to get 320 to 340 wh/mile average on your MX. I have been struggling to get lower than 400 wh/mile on street or highway speed limit driving in a 90 degree Texas' flat roads. Note i have about 1050 miles on my MX with 22" onyx black...

    Driver side Falcon wing door hinge snapping when opening

    Yes they did give me a MS loaner. However, NO luck on fixes as SC said parts are on order, but no ETA available. So I am picking up my vehicle without a FWD fix. I had several issues that needed to be fixed and will find out how many of them are truly done when I pick up MX soon.

    Yes, I had experienced the similar snapping noise parked in a tight spot at driver's side FWD about two weeks ago at less than 500 miles. I told SC about it when I left MX with several issues (fits and finish, body damage, electrical and mechanical, etc..).. SC couldn't replicate the snapping...

So when vehicle was finally delivered to me, why would I accept...

    About 75% of driving was on AutoPilot at state speed limit of 70MPH. We might have exceeded to 80MPH during sometime, but overall, normal driving. Texas temperature that day was unusually cool at 76 (vs. usual 90+). I checked vehicle on normal street driving and I feel like I am getting 60%...

    Don't rush through, even if DS says 1 hour. There is NO way, you can finish it in one hour, unless you are so excited like many Tesla owners are when they see their dream car delivered and overlook many items had they spent little more time. 7-seater Ultra White Seat owners need to pay extra...

    How common is a unexpected reboot of the touchscreen?

    I picked up MX three weeks ago and in the second week, my big center screen died three times in two days. I had to soft restart. Many times MX goes into sleep mode requiring longer time for battery to wake up, even driving within four hours of driving gap.

    ishak@ - I did have 22" onyx/carbon black wheel on. I do recognize the depreciation factor; but wouldn't that be for a lower tire life? Also, even at 10 to 15% depreciation on lower mileage, the average I received was far less than tesla's published numbers. mkjayakumar@ - you are correct, the...
