darn, I jinxed it, after I asked for clarification on the $0 estimate, they gave me a revised one :)

So weird, same thing happened to me with my 2017 X! I requested CCS retrofit from the app, and they sent an estimate of $0.00. Wonder if it's legit or a mistake? I messaged back to inquire but nobody responded yet. Does X/S have some special CCS bulletin we don't know about? One note: on the...

does this refer to the 2nd row or the last row in a 6 seater?

thanks! mine is exact same problem. it opens maybe 1 cm, stops for few seconds, then opens all the way, but with lots of motor and whirring noises, and ice breaker pops out. SC quoting me 1k to do full retrofit for BOTH doors (roughly 300+ in parts, and 600+ in labor!). so I am trying out the...

This is a long shot considering how old this thread is, but here goes... I have the same issue and am trying to buy the same part. I saw one on eBay with the same part number, but the connector only has 3 pins, whereas yours has 4. Any ideas why that is, and if the 3 pin part will still work? Pic:

Doh! So for original lock, would I change out the actual latch component? Anyone know the part number?

reviving an old thread, how come when I remove the door panel, I don't see the actuator? I checked some youtube videos and they don't show the actuator either. yet service manual says it should be there. am I missing something? service manual: actual car (passenger side, but you get the picture):

Recently sent SC a mobile service request for 3 items to fix, and received the estimate. Since then I was able to resolve 1 of the items myself, so I only need 2 items fixed. I messaged the SC to revise the estimate to remove that 1 item, but still have not heard back. 1) Should I simply...

I recently filed my first claim and this was part of the instructions. I don't quite understand how to handle it especially since it's a mobile visit. Am I supposed to wait for the guy to show up to inspect the car, then tell him to actually not do anything until I upload a new estimate and wait...

the service manual mentions: Using Toolbox 3: Select the Actions tab and search for "Door sensor calibration". Does this imply even if someone were to replace a defective charge port door on their own, they would still require Tesla to calibrate it before the errors go away?

I think it's my charge port door. Relevant info in new post: Is there a video for replacing the charge port door?

I have been diagnosing the charge port door issues on my 2017 MX for the past few days, and I'm pretty sure my charge port door needs to be replaced (not the actual charge port itself). This is based on info from: Charge port makes 4 clicks when opening before pin retracts... No charge port...

cool thanks. does it involve working near the high voltage stuff? is the job fairly safe for someone who is decently experienced with minor electrical work?

It's the mobile charger that originally came with my 2018 M3. So that should work with a 2017 MX right? BTW I also noticed that when I tap the charge port door to open it, the door opens right away, but the latch pin stays up, and I hear a couple of clicking sounds before the pin goes down and...

Reviving an old thread, I have almost the same problem but with a 2017 MX. Did you ever find out what was wrong?

so I played around it some more, here's what I found out: 1) if the charger is plugged in, it's greyed out like my picture. I cannot tap it, I cannot change charge level, I cannot start/stop. I basically can't do anything charge related. 2) if the charger is NOT plugged in, I can tap it, and it...

Yeah from the screen inside the car, everything works fine for charging. It's the Tesla mobile charger.

yeah seems like it. I can honk, open frunk, unlock/lock car, start, etc. but just can't tap on charge icon!

Long time user of the 3, first time user of a 2017 X. I set it up on the app, everything seems ok, but for some reason the charge icon is greyed out, so I can't tap it to start/stop charge or adjust charge level. But on my 3 it's always been fine. Am I missing an obvious setting somewhere?

Thanks. I’ve actually seen that thread before. The problem is I need to filter it based on production date, because none of the online listings from CarMax, Carvana, etc will have a picture of those screens.

I know it was announced in July 2018 that PUP would become standard, but starting at what production date did the MX actually start having this built in? I need this info to sort out online listings for used MX that I’m thinking of buying.

Tangentially related to my other post here: Most reliable way to buy a used 2016-2018 Model X - tesla direct, carmax, carvana, shift, vroom? I will most like get an MX from either Carmax or Shift since I can see the car in person first, and also because I can return the car within a week after...

I thought once you purchased on the Tesla website you are committed. Are you saying when it's time to pick up, you can actually reject delivery when you finally get to see the car?

But how do you pay for something this expensive in a private party sale though? Just write them a check?

are they able to show you any pictures of the actual car after you have committed to buy? or will you have to wait until pickup day to actually see it?

Been tracking prices for a while now and budget wise I am able to afford a 2016-2018 MX now (I think). Targeting around 45k-50k for a 2016, up to 55k-60k for a 2018 (based on what I've seen on shift.com) But I am not sure where is the best place to buy it, to improve my chances of not getting a...

Thanks, that helps a lot! BTW, what about route 20 thag goes between Fort Bragg and Willits, is that also a good route for Tesla?

Need some help from the community planning a trip from SF bay area (east bay) all the way up to Fort Bragg (near Mendocino). Would like to drive the M3 LR AWD if possible, but the lack of charging stations is making me reconsider taking the minivan instead. Would like people's opinion on this...

cool, works again, thanks!

weird, I thought I got it working for a while, but now it just says "Build Date null" for all the cars, did I break something?

whoa, didn't even know about column selector, that's pretty cool, thanks!

I know MCU2 comes on cars after March 2018, but how can I determine that from Tesla used website or ev-cpo?

If I put down the 3rd row seats, will I be able to transport either a 55-inch or 65-inch tv in box? box dimensions: 55-inch tv - 55"x34"x6" 65-inch tv - 64"x38"x7"

sounds good. so we have to satisfy both the days and mileage right? as in, if after 30 days, I've only driven 800 miles, I need to drive another 200 more before I have satisfied the requirement?

Thank you so much, that helped tremendously!

Thanks, actually that is indeed what I was trying to do, just trying to get an idea of "how much money have I lost out of pocket if I were to sell the car today". I didn't realize using the word "depreciation" would have different meanings and metrics to other people, so I can certainly...

Ok that makes sense. My MVPA was 61700, so that was the value I was using for comparison purposes. But we can calculate it your way too. To be fair though, if we want to account for tax credits and rebates, we need to include the sales tax too to get the real out the door price. so it should...

On a whim, I was trying to calculate the depreciation of my excellent condition, December 2018, Blue M3 LR AWD 18" EAP white interior with 14k miles, via offers from Vroom, Carvana, and Shift, and it comes out to be about 12k/year. My compare method is the offers from those websites vs. the...

Forgot to ask, is sales tax charged on top of the quotes? And also, can you explain the 30 day / 1000 miles waiting period?

Ok thanks. And that would qualify for the $100 referral discount, right?

For CA buyers, what does it mean that I can only buy the coverage from a local dealer/rep? Does it mean I need to buy the car from them as well?

Whoa! Did not know this existed! Edit: doh, seems like in California only a dealer can sell this coverage, which means I would be limited to buying the car from same dealer as well.

Was saving up to get a used X directly from Tesla, but with the recent reduction of warranty to only 1 year and removal of pictures, I am considering buying from Carvana or some other third party. But of course, only problem is I can't buy extended warranty through those channels. Does anyone...

Yikes, that would be bad!

I keep reading about this Hansshow power liftgate for Model 3, but it seems like too much work to install for me, where can I get it professionally installed around Fremont (or somewhere in the area)?

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but does panel upgrade really cost that much? I am considering adding solar and/or powerwall but I only have an 100A panel, so I am worried that if a panel upgrade is needed and really costs that much, I will be over budget.

Actually that brings up a good point. If I go to the Tesla website and get a quote for solar glass roof, the estimated federal credit they show me is not based on the entire quoted price. It seems to be based on a percentage of the price, which they estimate is the amount of roof that actually...

I currently have a 25+ year old wood shake roof that is not solar friendly. Everyone I have talked to says in order to install solar I would need to get a new roof first. So I started to research if the roof replacement would qualify for the federal tax credit since it is required as part of the...

thanks, super useful and exactly what I was looking for!

For those on PG&E in California with solar, which plans can you choose from? I am getting different information depending on where I look. On PG&E solar calculator, at the end of the survey it says you must select from one of the time of use plans: E-TOU-B or E-TOU-C. Both are 4-9pm peak...
