    Nexen tires?

    I put Nexen tires on the X several months ago. I initially did this as a temporary measure until the Goodyear EV optimized tires finally saw the light of day. Well, I won't be getting rid of the Nexen tires, period. IMHO, they are just as competent in daily driving as the ContiSilents they...

    Terminal block melted on HPWC Gen 2

    I stood by while the gentleman took apart the old HPWC to inspect it. I wouldn't expect them to come out and say it was a loose connection caused by a torquing issue, but all signs pointed to that. The fact that the company had the head superintendent come out within an hour told me everything...

    Terminal block melted on HPWC Gen 2

    Update - The company I used to do my original install immediately came over this morning and replaced the HPWC with a brand new one. They indicated that it could have been a number of things that caused this to occur, but would use my case as a training opportunity for their technicians as a...

    Terminal block melted on HPWC Gen 2

    Points well taken. I’m sure we should be able to limp along until this is resolved. We live in Dallas and there is a significant amount of driving for us between work and kids activities. This holiday period if very taxing from a driving standpoint as well due to the sheer number of...

    Terminal block melted on HPWC Gen 2

    It's a pain for sure, but I always say things could be worse. In the grand scheme it is an inconvenience, exacerbated by the holiday season and everything that comes along with that. Tesla is supposed to be sending a mobile service technician out to evaluate the problem. The last time a...

    Terminal block melted on HPWC Gen 2

    I love my Model X, but I'm starting to grow tired of little issues that I never experienced with ICE vehicles in the fist year of ownership. Last night my app popped up a message that stated the charging was interrupted. I immediately went outside to find that the vehicle had stopped charging...

    Windshield tint

    I'm getting the same treatment to the main windshield and the front driver and passenger windows as well. Did you do any of the other windows? I'm trying to determine if it's silly of me to not just do them all. I'm 6'6 and when sitting in the X with high sun in Texas (Dallas) I feel the heat...

    Windshield replacement

    I had the windshield replaced on my X a few weeks ago. It took less than two weeks to come in to the Dallas (Cedar Springs) service center. I can't say the same for all the other parts which took well over 2.5 months.

    Where did you put your EzPass?

    I have the bar that goes on the front license plate, but I'm not installing a front license plate kit on my X. I'm going to install the bar behind the front bumper like this:

    Best Bike Rack for Model X

    After an exhaustive search and utilizing several different racks from Thule, Kuat, 1-up, and Yakima I decided on the Thule T2 Pro XT 2 (Black). To be fair, I owned a Thule 916XT T2 prior to the current rack so my familiarity with the brand and use history played a factor. The NV 2.0 was at the...

    iPhone X phone call garbled voice

    I'm around 72 hours into MX ownership and I'm having the same issue. The car itself has been fantastic, but there appear to be some teething issues with regard to the iPhone X and the MX.

    Electrician in DFW Area for HPWC and/or NEMA install

    I used Good Faith Energy after getting various quotes and then assessing attention to detail and promptness to answer follow-up questions. Good Faith provided an exceptional experience for me and the team was super knowledgable. Of the three or four companies I spoke with all told me that I...

    Wall Connector on Ebay, safe to order?

    I ordered a HPWC off of EBay back in early December and it came directly from Tesla although the seller in no way seemed to be affiliated with the company. I thought it could have been a one off type deal, but this seller had a ton for sale. The packing slip showed that it was sent directly...

    Model X FWD damage | Hit garage wall

    Yowsers. I knew it wouldn’t be cheap, but 13K is staggering. The more I think about it maybe it isn’t. At least it’s covered and you now know what you are facing. Thanks for the update and I hope the broken wing is fixed in no time!

    Model X insurance coverage

    I got a quote from Progressive for $500 for 6 months on a 2017 MX 100D here in Texas. Texas is typically in the top10 for most expensive states for car insurance. My wife and I have great credit scores, pristine driving records and also moved our home insurance over to Progressive as well. We...

    Picked up X last night and...

    Absolutely. I realize in aggregate that most owners are having a fantastic experience with their vehicles. The enthusiast, if you will, tend to be the vocal minority. I can attest to this as an A/V enthusiast. We always find the faults and we use our online soap boxes vigorously :) Thanks...

    Picked up X last night and...

    Thanks for the update. I'm glad the SC got you fixed up quickly and it wasn't anything major. I know little issues are to be expected, but as long as I see Tesla continuously improving their automobiles I have less anxiety.

    Picked up X last night and...

    When you get a chance could you let us know what the issue was? I’m looking to take delivery in a few weeks and these type of teething issues are making me very nervous especially with this being the primary family hauler.

    Picked up X last night and...

    What a bummer. I saw in this thread a few members had a similar message. It sounds exactly like what you are experiencing. The good news is it seems to be something that any competent mechanic could resolve quickly. The bad news is tomorrow is NYE so finding a shop may be a bit more...

    FWD --- BUSTED

    fatmiko, I'm so sorry that happened to your car. I'm glad no one was injured. We are close to pulling the trigger on a model with the exact specifications listed in your signature. I can honestly say that "injuring" one of the FWDs is my greatest nightmare. I'm sure a qualified body shop...

    Model X Insurance

    I was just quoted a $2800/yearly premium for an X (90D). We are looking to purchased in the next 1-3 months. Texas has some of the highest auto insurance premiums so keep that in mind as well.
