I also think, at some point when there are more cars, there will be several aftermarket options for "tuning" and battery upgrades. It seems unlikely that Tesla will do this as to me it does not fit their "core mission" - which right now seems to be expanding into new EV market segments (semi...

I thought that the retracting spoiler was not necessary, and I think that there are problems with it now and will likely be in the future. If you live in cold weather or have snow or ice the spoiler is an issue - at least it was for us. For some reason the servo would make a loud noise...

The 3 year old car seat is in the second row with one baby car seat in the other side second row and the other baby car seat in the middle of the third row for now. Our 3 year old is 15% percentile so he is pretty small. He can not reach the pillar door switch when in his car seat (seat all...

We have a 3 year old and twin 5 month old's with 6 seat MX. The FWD are more often frustrating then helpful - if you search the forum you'll find all the negatives (sensors won't open or close door with salt snow build up, hinges make noise, intermittently not fully open or close, not great to...

Sometimes I wonder if the current thinking is to prioritize volume over quality. Hanging around the showroom listening to sales talk to new customers while waiting for my car in service, my impression is that many of the new customers maybe don't care so much about paint being perfect or other...

1) Slow down if you don't think you can make it to the next charging station. 2) Find a gas station and see if they have a standard 110V 12 amp Nema 5-15 outlet outside you can use - most will. The problem is that would be a very slow charge rate, but it would get you started while you figure...

Not sure that anyone cares about this thread anymore, but I've read all of the towing posts so far, and in general what is not clearly stated is that there is very little margin for overcoming any problems towing with an EV. Consider the following: - Flat tire on the trailer or other...

Let me just add my .02 to this thread, if you are planning on towing and need to rely on anything other then superchargers or fast charge DC station for in between stops - come up with a different plan - especially in cold weather. We have MX P90D and recently sold our cabin and needed to move...

I have X P90D with Blizzak snow tires, the traction control and the ABS will come on and you can feel the pedal pulse just as with a typical car - even with snow tires. I'd highly recommend snow tires, remember that these are heavy cars even though they feel sporty and AWD will not help with...

See posts with pictures on page 3 for the 255/50 R20 front clearance. No issues with clearance anywhere on the car with quite a bit of snow in the MN the last two weeks (10 inches then 7 inches). Again, I'd strongly recommend the Blizzak DMV2's. When the weather is bad having the best...

Snow and ice build up will cause the FWD not to open - in this case the dash alerts and there is a warning that there is something in the path of the door. This happened to us the other day after the snow in the upper Midwest - noticed you were from the northeast. In our case, the sensors seem...

If you have an X and you purchase wheels and an extra set of Tesla OEM TPMS sensors they will activate on their own after driving a few miles or over a certain speed (~45 MPH) even with firmware 8+. There are no buttons to push: they register themselves. The Tesla service center told me that...

Quick update, I put on the DM-V2 Bilzzak's last night, with no issues (255/50R20 up front 275/45 R20 rear on E-bay 20" OEM wheels), and I'm very happy with the way the car drives in the cold and rain. No issues with TPMS (automatically paired no buttons to push - but I bought the Tesla TPMS)...

I put one DM-V2 Bilzzak 255/50R20 wheel and tire on the front this weekend - I took a bunch of pics will post tonight once I download off my phone. Summary is that they fit fine with plenty of clearance everywhere (I did check full steering lock in both direction as well as clearance to...

Yes, mounted and fit on wheel fine - I'm guessing you are talking about the front wheel / tire clearance to the fender-well? I picked them up but it is warm here so have not put them on. I'll mount a front tire this weekend and then take some pictures of the wheel to fender clearance. I guess...

Regarding the question on having a second set of wheels or just swapping tires: Cost - I think that $150 for 4 tire swap will be pretty typical considering the size of the wheels - so $300 per year to swap - Assuming spending $1600 on a new set of rims with TPMS, that would be rims paid...

I found some stock take off 20" wheels on E-bay - just went to Discount Tire here in MN and ordered the Blizzak DM-V2's - front 255/50 R20 rear 275/45 R20. I did the calculations and the overall diameter for the 255/50 is within .1 inches. Total cost for install tires taxes - not including TPMS...

We test drove an X with the upgraded audio - we stopped and listened pretty carefully and changed the surround modes etc. The sales staff were trying to get us to listen to slacker over the internet, but it did not sound good no matter how we adjusted. I think that sometimes you put crud in...
