    Measuring the panel gaps upon delivery

    So does anyone actually know what, according to Tesla, their "spec" is for various cars / panels? The only thing that I find infuriating is when I pointed out a very uneven gap and unflushness, tesla saying "it's within spec", and when I ask "what is your spec", them responding with "we can't...

    Tesla 2016 model x versus 2020 model X

    That promotion is here now until March 31. BTW if you live or work near a supercharger , free and fast supercharging can essentially mean you never pay at home.

    Diminished value claims, how should I proceed/tips?

    Mine was an extreme situation because my 2018 model 3 only had 396 miles on it. But yes, the DV was huge, and the cost of obtaining the appraisal was added on to that. In my case, the insurance company agreed to declare the car a total loss, when the cost of repair and diminished value were...

    Diminished value claims, how should I proceed/tips?

    I am not a lawyer. This burden of proof, plaintiff etc thing sounds like lawsuit talk. However, you're not in court. You're making a claim with the insurance company. It's really more of a negotiation at this stage, even though you can pretend to be in court or use some legalese if you want to...

    Best SoCal Service Center for MCU 2 Upgrade?

    I am in the same boat. Actually still trying to decide between MCU2 upgrade for my 2016 model X vs emmc chip replacement / recall. For example, the Irvine service center is relatively new... do we trust them?

    Tesla X HEPA Filter retrofit

    Well I can tell you that next time I replace my filter. I would suggest, remove the frunk bottom, and just turn on/off recirc, look down you should see it because it was easy to see. I found this video: at 9:22 min, I think the flap thingy was visible there. BTW the video reminds me that the...

    Tesla X HEPA Filter retrofit

    I know because... remove the frunk bottom. Now you see the HEPA filter. Now just toggle recirc on / off and watch that flap/valve open and close. BTW service had told me: - MX without the BWDM do not have HEPA filters - HEPA filters cannot be easily added to MX without the BWDM option - There...

    Tesla X HEPA Filter retrofit

    One more thing, I'm using the word "outlet" incorrectly - I mean where the air exits from the car to the outside. I don't mean the adjustable vents where the air blows into the cabin.

    Tesla X HEPA Filter retrofit

    Ok so let me clarify what I misstated. There is some sort of damper near the front bumper that opens/closes based on the recirc mode. There seems to be some air return pathway that goes through there. I should have said that's also where the air inlet is. But that damper clearly helps control...

    Ordering California Personalized Plates

    I went to Santa Ana DMV some time ago complaining about the fact that they threw my custom plate away, despite assurances they wouldn't. I had ordered it in Feb, then they closed and stopped taking appointments, I showed up and they wouldn't let me in that day, and next time, plate was gone...

    Tesla Service Center - Irvine

    Would be a great move, definitely my go-to location. Also I wouldn't mind superchargers here. I always wondered why their Lake Forest SC didn't try to get a place on the existing "Tesla" street. Or maybe they tried.

    New UMC 14/50 limited to 32 amps... WHY?!

    so did they ever give you the corded, 40A-capable mobile connector? Or were you stuck with the downgraded 32A connector? I have this issue now. First they lied to me and said no mobile connector can charge >32A. Then they lied and said the Gen2 32A connector is an upgrade over my Gen1 40A...

    Tesla X HEPA Filter retrofit

    So today I purchased the HEPA filter (1045566-00-H) for $220 plus tax and installed in in my 2016 AP1 MX (without bioweapon defense mode). I took some pictures if anyone is interested. Observations: - turns out my MX already had a HEPA filter (1045566-00-D), to my surprise. Was super dirty...

    Double vision (ghosting) at night through windshield?

    So what happened? When my ghosting windshield finally got a rock chip, I had it replaced with 1106012-00-B. Except, they installed 1106012-00-A. So I took it back and they replaced it with 1106012-00-B today. I think have no ghosting now. They did, however mess up 3 other things, check for...

    Tesla X HEPA Filter retrofit

    I saw a nice video of a guy testing a few settings, bioweapon defense mode sets his fan speed to 9 (not 11). He confirms that with the HEPA filter, regardless of bioweapon mode on/off, A/C only, or even fan only (A/C off), the particulate filtration effect is the same (as long as you are NOT on...

    Tesla X HEPA Filter retrofit

    "divert between the cabin air return and outside air" - I don't follow. Nobody yet has disagreed that recirculate means, cabin air outlets get diverted to cabin air inlets, and the fresh air inlet(s) get closed. Are you suggesting turning off recirc means the air outlets get closed? That seems...

    Tesla X HEPA Filter retrofit

    Sorry but how do you know this for a fact? In my post I indicated the need to close/reduce the cabin air outlets as a requirement for bioweapon defense mode to work.
  27. D

    Tesla X HEPA Filter retrofit

    So this would imply bioweapon mode has to close the air outlets, not just crank up the fan speed... meaning simply installing a HEPA filter will not get me the equivalent of bioweapon defense mode unless I pay tesla $500

    Tesla X HEPA Filter retrofit

    I know air can get around the frunkbasket but it is a much less than ideal airpath than regular cars where the airflow is more "straight" in the direction of the car's travel. I asked because I was trying to get clues on whether the HEPA filter is in the fresh air intake path, or perhaps really...

    Tesla X HEPA Filter retrofit

    I read this whole thread but am still unclear about 2 things 1. Bioweapon defense mode cannot be "fan on max and recirc on", because to pressurize the cabin, you MUST get outside air into the cabin - more outside air has to come in than gets out (through leaks or through wherever the air comes...

    Best Service Visit EVER!

    Did the service centers tell you in any way why they upgraded your batteries? I assume both are software upgrades/unlocks, not replacements. I am currently trying to pay to upgrade my MX 60D, but it's temporarily a 75D due to the California wildfires. Wondering if I should just wait.

    Shut down with supercharger in sight

    There was a post somewhere discussing the first 6% of supposed state of charge aren't to be trusted for accuracy. The story there was, when planning trips that end up with SOC of 6% or less at next charging stop, don't trust it. Since that post I started considering 6% the new 0%.

    Collision, Repair and DV/LoU Lawsuit: My Nearly 500 Days of Fun

    My personal opinion (from googling things) is that the because DV stuff falls under tort law, one might assert/claim many different types of damages. This is explained (on websites) as making the at-fault party pay for all damages that would put you back in the position should the collision not...
