    Early '22 Exterior Refresh Tracking (Lights, Charging Door, Appliqué delete)

    Tesla called me last week. I have had a MS LR on order since July 1. They apologized for having to delay my VIN and noted the MS production has had a delayed due to “production quality control” .. hmmm. Perhaps some changes and QA.. I’m expecting an update in Feb

    Model X Plaid Order

    I have a Performance Ludicrous 2019 MX. So 0-60 in around 2.7sec.. its fun, but to be honest you hardly ever use it or come close to it in winter due to the cold pack. the new MX long range is still very quick <4sec 0-60, plus you get an extra 20 miles of range. quite honestly, for my next...

    Raven Half Shaft Replacement

    According to the local SC, the Raven suspension did fix a lot of the problems with the half shafts/shudder. I had this with my 2017 MX. My new 2019 Raven MX also suffers from slight shudder but depends on temperature and if I'm trying to replicate in front of the Tesla engineers :-) They told...

    Just got 225 kW charging - June 2020 Build with Battery version “G”

    Very cool. Just received the same release. I have a June 2019 Model X and no 225Kw upgrade. I have the E battery pack so they must have done some changes on the cooling system.

    Raven wind noise?

    I compared my MX 2017 March build to my new Raven MX June 2019 build. Same road, same speed. Measured with a dB meter. My 2017 was 71dB and my 2019 was 70dB

    Raven regen poor in cooler weather

    Thanks everyone. I think I figured it out. My new Raven is not plugged in constantly as we have moved to a shared charging building, so i suspect the batteries are always cold.

    Raven regen poor in cooler weather

    I have a 2019 Raven MX performance and now the weather is getting cooler I’ve noticed regen is incredibly weak. Almost non existent with temps around 50oF. My previous MX regen was way stronger and I wouldn’t get the dashed yellow lines until temps into the 30s. Anyone seen the same issue?

    Difference between 20” vs 20” two tone wheels

    I had a MX 90D with the old 20” wheels but when ordering my new Raven MX I went with the Two Tone. I hadn’t seen them in person until I received the car. They are essentially the same wheel with parts painted black to give the effect of a larger wheel. From about 10 ft away they look great, but...

    Blog Report: Tesla Employees Pressured to Take Shortcuts to Meet Production Goals

    My car was build in mid June at the height of the rush. It’s perfect. No imperfections. No tape. It’s 10X better quality than my last Tesla.

    Ludicrous for free, bye bye SR (again), free white paint

    For folks in the US, Tesla did give precious owners a little incentive on the performance variants in Q2. They were able to get the higher federal tax credit and doing the math, it still worked out cheaper if you purchased in Q2 by about $3K-$4k depending on paint choice. Either way, good news...

    Anyone received delivery of 2019 'Raven' Refresh?

    Took delivery of my MX Performance Ludicrous yesterday. Perfect. Pics attached. Only issue is that Ludicrous was not enabled by default. Common issues with Ravens. They are pushing a software update this week. Video coming soon as I have a list of stuff I want to walk folks through of all...

    Placed my order May 31st. Just heard 5 minutes ago my VIN has been assigned. Not sure what that means in terms of delivery.

    Well.. as it turns out the car did sell but the buyer didn’t have his financing sorted. Good news is that I still have 2 weeks before my new Tesla arrives. Moral of the story is our 2017 MX is now back up on eBay for sale. 2017 Tesla Model X 90D | eBay

    2017 Model X 90D For Sale

    Hi Dpina9, Tesla has offered me a trade in pretty similar to $65k. I really would like to be around the $72k mark for a private sale, which is in line with market.

    Is there any inventory Ravens out there ? X or S ?

    I went through the entire inventory list today with Tesla. All inventory cars are PRE RAVEN. Hence they are giving Unlimited Supercharging to try and shift them.

    Buy Raven X or wait for interior refresh ~September

    I just did the same thing. I came from an early 2017 MX and personally like the 2 screen layout. The extra performance, range and suspension sealed the deal. Ordering now secures the federal tax credit and I get the free ludicrous mode. I basically purchased this performance model for the same...

    Model X Road Noise

    I have a March 2017 build MX. 20” standard rims. Road noise is ok, not great. I was however shocked to ride in a 2016 MX as a service loaner the other week. Way way more wind noise. Felt like a different car. Curious if anyone out there has a new 2019 May build with the new suspension and tires...

    Sentry mode does not work

    Like many folks, I purchased FSD for my 2017 MX with AP2.0. Love the car. But with the new FSD computer Tesla should make us whole. As we were the early owners who took a risk in the company, they should make this right. The alternative is a major discount on a new MX.. which I may consider but...

    Top Gear’s 24-Hour Ultimate Tesla Marathon: Model Y, Model 3, More

    Strange he had charged to 95% SoC at Kettleman. He didn’t need to which is why it took 50 minutes. He could have been out of there in 30mins and still made it to LA...? Maybe Top Gear wanted to show that electric still has a big difference to gas cars in refueling.

    Model X 90kWh battery pack degradation

    My March 2017 MX 90D (yep I got one of the last ones off the line) hasn’t degraded too much. @26,000 showing 229 miles @90% SoC. Around 258 @100%. I’d say I’ve lost 3 miles of range. Not too shabby.

    Just canceled my MX order - here's why

    As a March 2017 MX owner, yes I’ve had the odd issue such as FWD needing to be reset, yellow ring around the screen but here’s the difference about Tesla.. they seriously care about you. Every single little issue has been rectified is short order and the service team while sometimes slammed are...

    New blind spot monitor!

    V9 blind spot monitoring is absolutely fantastic. I’ve had the normal little lights in the wing mirrors before, but this gives you so much more information. AP is also a lot better at changing lanes and when you’re driving manually it does give you a red line warning as well. I would just ask...

    A message to this forum about V9.

    Just download V9 on my MX. First thing my wife said, “oh! That’s so much easier to use” Makes my life happy. Enough said!
  39. CharlieLab

    Anyone with an S/X still waiting for V9?

    I'm still on Ver. 32.2. I did see a massive 3.5G+ download last week, but suspect that was just maps. The car does seem to download 50-100Mb but NOTHING.. argh..

    MX Spoiler wing corrosion

    Not sure if anyone else in the Tesla community has seen this. After about a year the wing on the Model X started to corrode at the joint between the tail light and the metal. See the picture below. My MX is March.April 2017 build. The good news was that Telsa SC was fantastic and was about to...

    Software Update 2018.32.2 3817fdd

    received 2018.32.2 this morning. Came from 2018.28.1 where Tilly received new maps on the MCU. I haven't had chance to test 32.2 but will do tonight. As an aside, I did notice that the car was starting to take some sharp exits and merging onto highways with 28.1, although the car was very...

    MCU Yellowing & replacement

    During my annual service the SC tech noticed that my MCU had the "yellowing" issue. Frankly I had not noticed but they said they would replace it and its on backorder. Question, I'm wondering if now the factory have switched to the new Intel MCU v2, that they will just replace this with an...

    Hacking the AP Nag warning!

    Please don't hack the warning nag. it's there for a reason. Remember it only takes one or two cases of someone stupid doing this and getting into a serious crash and it hurts the progress towards an autonomous future. (and will annoy your felling Tesla owners)
