Here's the scenario . . . I own a 2017 model x. I have not upgraded the MCU (yet). It is paid off. My wife primarily drives it and puts maybe 3k miles/yr. We do use it to drive to our beach house frequently and a few road trips every year up to PA to visit in laws, etc. My daily driver is a...

Just got my car back from service for half shaft replacement and they updated the 8gb eMMC. Noticed 2 things; 1) double speed limit - looks like one speed limit sign superimposed over another. Goes away after 10-20 seconds, but seems to come back over and over again. 2) small white circle with...

A few days ago, I noticed an incredibly loud squeeking noise coming from (what sounds like) the front passenger wheel well. It specifically happens when the car bounces, leading me to believe it has something to do with the suspension arm. I also hear it when I turn the steering wheel, although...

So, I need new tires. I also need to fix my rims. The question I have is this . . . . Get new tires and wheel package on tirerack.com or fix slipstream wheels and have new tires mounted to them. Price difference is approx $500 (new tire/wheel pack ~$2200 vs new tire and wheel...

Last week, during the snow, I was turning left in my neighborhood and hit a patch of ice. The car slipped and the front passenger wheel hit the curb (probably ~ 5mph). I didn't think much of it at the time, except realizing I just scrapped the rim pretty bad. Later that day, tried driving...

I am fully aware of wrap and/or dip. I have done both (currently have dip on all chrome). However, I was hoping someone could chime in on actually painting out the chrome. I spoke with a shop that quoted me $750 to black out all chrome with paint (all trim and around side mirrors). That...

I must be a test subject. Looks like I had a secret update last night that gave me something better then insane mode . . . . I've gone NUCLEAR :eek:

Was in bumper to bumper traffic this am on my way to work (nothing new). I had AP set while I happen to be looking down at my phone (yeah, yeah, yeah, I know) and started rolling forward at a crawl. I looked up and was centimeters from smashing into the back of a motorcycle. Fortunately, I...

I stepped out of the car this morning and came back to see my wife using a lighted vanity mirror in the sun visor of our model X. I was blown away. Not only because I had absolutely no idea that the mirror was there, but that she found it. Mind blown.

Car is located in Washington, DC. Family is increasing in size and need to get a model X. Sad about parting with my S, but I refuse to road trip in anything less then a Tesla . . . 2016.5 Telsa Model S75d - $74,500 21,000 miles -Full CERAMIC tint on all windows -installed blackvue dashcam...

Looks like I need swap my s75 for an X. Bigger family on the way (and I refuse to road trip in my wife's durango). I've never sold a car privately, and was hoping for some advice. Any recommendations where to start? -2016.5 (face lift) Model S 75d -18,500 miles -silver with gray interior...

Looking into the Tesla whispbar mounting racks and cargo box (WB701). Can anyone with experience let me know how useful they find the slim box? Specifically, can you load it with cargo (luggage, dog bed, miscellaneous junk) or is it only good for snow sport equipment? I can't seem to get a...

Ok, I tried googling and come up with nothing. Can someone please explain to me how audible fan art is derived? I get these random pictures on my MS depicting different chapters (although sometimes there is repeated pictures). The center screen or hud will often display fan art such as THIS...

Just updated yesterday morning. Today, I tried to connect my phone to the car and no dice. The car recognizes the phone and vice versa. I get the pop up to pair with a pin. Then, the phone gives me an error saying wrong pin (before I can do anything) and it reappears with another pin. This...

I tried a search, but could not find the answer I was seeking. Was having a discussion with a coworker who mentioned they will be towing cars from our parking lot if not properly registered. This got me thinking . . . . Is it possible for a random tow truck to grab the S and tow it away (using...

Arggggg, my in-laws have a nema 14-30 and not a 14-50. I even bought an extension cord in anticipation of this trip. Meh! Anyone nearby that can help a brotha out? There's a couple of J1772 chargers not too far, but thought I'd try to make a new friend :)

Just took delivery a few days ago. I had a dirty windshield so I used the washer/wipers. The driver side wiper seems to stop short on the up swing, leaving the edge of "wiped" water/dirt somewhat in my visual field. Just wanted to check if this was a normal Model S experience. Thanks! -MG

So, you read a few of the "bad delivery" stories related to quality control and think to yourself, eh far and few between . . . . won't happen to me! Well, I was supposed to take delivery at 4pm today. I got a call from the service center about 45 min before I left telling me that the car...

A buddy and coworker of mine just got his tesla tinted with ceramic tinting (all windows within legal limits of DC). Charged him $500. This was done at FX Tint in Fairfax. He was happy with the results. Yelp reviews are great (5 stars x 200 reviews). Any one else familiar with this place...

Half way Bw Pittsburgh and dc. This would stop me from needing to stop twice. Just a thought
