I got my set in today. I'm very happy with the all dark look on my blue MY.

I had the same issue -- and not covered under warranty because it was caused by an "impact." I paid a similar amount.

My suggestion is to call roadside assistance again, report that your vehicle is disabled, and it towed to the service center. Then they have to deal with you. At least you can get some Uber credits out of it. My first 12v lasted only 3 months. The second died after 2.5 years. on the second...

When I purchased the extended warranty a few months ago, I made a service appointment but I never had to go in. They emailed me the agreement and I signed electronically.

There’s a YouTuber who is putting a damp cloth on the handle of gen 2 chargers to keep the handle from getting too hot and forcing a reduction of charging rate. Anyone know if this would work?

My Dec 2016 75D was “uncorked” a while back. I didn’t ask for it — the SC just did it while the car was in for something else. I’ve never timed a 0-60 (before or after) so the change has not been noticeable to me. As I remember, they need to check the capacity of the motors to see if they can...

You can’t be too careful these days!

The 12 volt system powers all the cabin electronics, lights, power windows, etc. just like in a ICE car. Then the main battery charges the 12v battery.

I've done some "safe" energy use tests while my 2016 MX (HW2) was plugged into the garage while I'm away. I'd charge up then set the charge limit to 50%. Before Smart Summon was added, under normal conditions with everything on, I lose up to 9 miles a day. After Smart Summon, I lose 12 miles a...

It’s not publicly visible. Sorry. Plenty of smart summon videos on YouTube at this point.

I assumed that my late 2016 MX would not get Enhanced Summon working until/unless Tesla upgraded my hardware (I paid for FSD). Imagine my delight to discover that I do have Enhanced Summon now that 2019.32.11 is installed. Now that I’ve recorded the video of summon in progress and uploaded to...

I had this crack in the right FWD last year. The service tech judged that it was damage from an impact so it’s not covered under warranty. There repair cost was about $1,000. C99FD624-4E35-49B1-B403-114D08414600 by RRM998 posted Sep 23, 2019 at 9:31 PM

Model X FWD window crack

In the end, it took 10 days to get a replacement battery installed.

My MX has been sitting at the service center for a week now waiting for a battery. I’m told there is a nation wide shortage. Fortunately I was able to get a loaner after the first few days. This will be my third 12v battery in 2.7 years. My first failed after only 4 months.

Houston North Freeway location

My 12v battery died on Tuesday and it’s still at the shop (this is Saturday) because the shop has no 12v batteries in stock. It’s on order but hasn’t shipped yet. No ETA.

I have this same problem now. I can feel an obvious "lump" in the inner edge of the tire. New tires next week.

When the price first dropped to $4500 I upgraded. That’s much cheaper than the $9500 I’d have paid at the original purchase. Here in Texas, the extra range is useful.

Is this a 2019 MX? For my 2016 model, if I have energy saving on in the display settings, I lose 4 miles a day and if it's off I lose 9-10 miles a day. I understand the newer models do better in terms of energy usage. "'Cabin Overheat Protection" and Sentry mode can also impact vampire drain...

Nice report. My experiences in Houston have been very similar. I've been saying that NOA is timid yet rude when changing lanes in traffic. I recently drove to Dallas and back and NOA is really shines in that situation.

I ordered a 60D in Oct. 2016, one week before the AP2 announcement. So I got the newer hardware. I opted to pay the $2K difference to upgrade to EAP. If I remember correctly, the price difference between a 60D and 75D when I ordered was $9.5K. When the price dropped to $4.5K, I pulled the...

So long as both the vehicle and your phone have a wifi or cellular connection, the range is unlimited.

I see this happen as well when the Nav system has plotted a route that includes the HOV but traffic isn't heavy enough to warrant paying the toll (no free EV access here in Texas). I wonder what the answer to this would be. It's not like NOA can read my mind and know I don't want to pay the toll...

I’ve had several occupancies now where NOA seemed to wait for the white line to change to a dashed line to make a lane change. I’ve also requested a lane change that would cross a white line via turn signal and had it ignore my request. Is the AP now paying attention to solid white lines? Or...

The route planner on the Tesla site only shows "Long range" and "Performance" options under the Model X category. There doesn't appear to be a way to select a 75D now. Makes that app pretty useless to me. Go Anywhere | Tesla

I've already purchased (yes, $2,000 worth of "nothing") so I can't see the current pricing.

I didn't see any language about grandfathering existing businesses. Usually laws that stop certain a business activity have a clause to not impact anyone already on the ground. Without that, I would think Tesla would have an easy court case if the bills actually pass. Being a TX resident, I've...

I had the message in my car within 3 hours.

On my Dec 2016 75D, 90% is 208 and 100% is 231.

When I bought my MX, the self-presenting doors were a part of the optional Premium package. I thought this feature was pretty silly at the time but wanted the package for other features. Now however, anytime I'm driving a car other than my MX, I miss the doors.

Thinking about what I would have done, I had a hard stop defined at $100K. So if the extra $6K would have pushed me over that, I would not have done it. If it was at or under, I would have done the upgrade. I ordered a 60D instead of a 75D because I had to get the 6 seat and air suspension in...

Something else to watch out for are intersections with multiple turn lanes -- usually that means there's a dashed line to indicate the path for the outer turn lane. AP can be confused by the turn lane lines and tend to follow them because they are generally larger than the normal lane lines.

I had this happen. My advise is to get someone in the back while the sound is happening and have them find the rattle and press in the spot in question to see if it stops. The rattle might not be coming from where you think. It certainly wasn’t in my case (I didn’t suspect the headliner...

When the vehicle/wall next to me is very close or there are ANY ceiling obstructions, I always stand next to the FWD ready to grab it.

This morning the system suggested changing lanes to the shoulder in preparation for an exit. Obviously I didn't confirm that suggestion. At the actual exit, Autopilot made the turn but turned onto the shoulder area instead of the main lane. I had to take over to prevent hitting the wall. I...

No cellular connection in Houston this morning either.

I find that I do have to look at bit harder compared to the old "I see green at a glance" that i did before. On the upside, I can still see these traffic colors if I have a route showing on the map.

This morning when I got in the car I was getting music from my iPhone. When I was last using the MX, I was streaming from Slacker. I've only seen this happen once so far.

I followed the instructions on the v9 support page and put a USB drive in my AP2.0 MX. I didn't see any indication that it was working. Any photos from someone that does have it working?

I got V9 this morning. 2018.39.6.8377b4d

I always keep my turn signal on until the lane change is complete. I still have the occasional time when the car will swerve back to the original lane. I'd say it happens about 1 in 10 times. I always have my hand positioned on the steering wheel to be able to manually complete the lane change...

I drive from one side of Houston, TX to the other (and back) four times a week, using major freeways. I see an X once every few weeks. The exception was the one day when I saw 3 MX on one commute home (not including my own). It was a magical day! I do see a few Model S's every day.

As we had some rain here in Houston, I found myself thinking about this yesterday. Either there's a great variance in performance from one car to another or a great variance on perception as to what one person considers "worst" and another person considers "great." Myself, I'm in the "great"...

I've had several friends who followed me to a destination comment that they didn't see brake lights when I was slowing down. I've confirmed that the lights are working and are coming on at some point during a mostly single peddle stop. Apparently the regen braking doesn't turn on the brake...

I didn't realize. My mistake. Thanks for the correction.

I used Google maps to take a look at the road lines leading up to the crash site. See the image above. You can see that the line leading to the lane on the right of the barrier is almost completely worn away while the line for the lane leading to the left is very solid. It easy to imagine that...

Yesterday I drove the same 72 round trip twice to the service center. Once in my X 75D (dec 2016 build) and once in a new S 100D loaner. I thought the S was much quieter than I am used to in the X.

I had my annual service a few week ago and they rotated side to side. I don't see any indication on the Conti-Silents that they can only rotate in a single direction. The SC did a full realignment after the rotation.

My Nav system broke immediately after getting 50.3 last week. The tech I worked with believed that the update was the cause. If that turned out to the true, then I imagine they've stopped the deployment. I've not heard back from tech support yet after he said the issue would need to be escalated.
