    March 2024 MX Delivery Info Share

    Wanting to transfer my FSD and charging to the new X,my order date was Feb 27 and it does not appear to be delivered by March 31. Has ANYONE heard that Elon has extended the transfer past March 31. There must have been a huge number of orders recently.

    Wait a minute,,,,, ended up driving 230 miles to a service center, as my car is in South Dakota. it didn’t make any difference what mode the car was in it indicated the gearbox issue. Anyway, after the service the first 100 miles,, no issues, then the gearbox came back on and has been on since...

    2022 Model S Plaid "gearbox fluid service"

    My 2022 X Plaid recently had a “gearbox fluid” alert on my dash. I had read that others and myself had the “chill” mode on. I changed to a sport mode and immediately eliminated the grearbox alert. Great car and has crazy acceleration.

    Tesla Model Y build quality, manufacturing refinement and assembly

    👍 Eto,,,, exactly my thought on the “Y”. We gave up on a Audi-Etron after 8 months. There is very little EV charging available for EV’s the ones that are available, small percentage work!!! To the tire kickers, please do your research, and ask,,,,, why do I see sooooo many Tesla’s on the road!!!

    Tesla overview and experience on CS? - Your Views

    Well, driving my ‘17 X 9,000 miles this past year, I always ask people at charging stations how they like their cars.. Have yet to find “one” person to say they dislike their Tesla. Today the former CEO of GM claimed to have serviced 11,000 this past year??? I have a friend in the upper Midwest...

    Advice on tires

    I just replaced my Continentals with Pirelli Scorpion AS plus 3. wow, what a difference the smoother ride is and road noise. Don’t know what kind of miles they will get, but worth it so far worth it.

    Model X delivery delayed; anyone else?

    Soooooo, ordered a XPlaid last fall, deliver date is April. I received a call from the factory stating my 5 seater needs to be changed to 6. My contact gave me his e-mail and said I need to let them know the next day. Have not been able to reach him after several attempts. So, reading other...

    All set for home charging - Our story for 14-50 install.

    I think everyone needs to determine the number of miles per day. I personally charge at 16A. This is 10 miles per hour. Most people would likely not drive more than 60 miles per day plus it will save on the car’s battery.

    Makes me sad to hear many reviews of the New S complain about build quality!

    Driving a ‘17 P100 X and still like it enough to just ordered another X plaid. For those who are thinking of giving up on Tesla,,,, my local new car dealer selling almost all US made car has a empty car lot. Also, those jumping ship,, if your are driving in a local area, other EV are ok, but...

    Tesla removes regenerative braking strength option

    Why after 8 years we no longer have low Regen braking. I have not read of anyone having issues with low Regen braking. I also live in the upper Midwest with snow. Simply switch to standard if snow or ice conditions exist. Would like to order number 2 X, but have second thoughts about the...

    Model X vs. Audi e-tron

    Forgot to mention the regenerative breaking. No comparison, the Tesla is HANDS far superior to the e-tron. You should never have to replace brakes on the Tesla. To get the regenerative braking on the e-tron you have to activate the paddles every time you drive. Otherwise, the e-tron in automatic...

    Model X vs. Audi e-tron

    We have both the X and the e-tron. The Audi is typical Audi, but the technical part is way behind the Tesla. I find the technical aspect to be a lot more frustrating than the Tesla. Charging at Electrify American is not easy to navigate through. Plus, setting up the home charging, I had to buy...

    My X after 60 days.

    I feel there is a need to defend Tesla. I took delivery of P100D X in Feb ‘17 and my son received his S in December. My only issue has been the key fob. The other fob works, so that’s a suppliers issue. Other than that the car has been perfect. The car has been in South Dakota for the last...

    new model X actual reliability, if you live far from a service center

    Took delivery on my x Feb 2017 (P100D) With 6,800 miles presently. There have been absolutely no issues except the 2ed row seat belt which has yet to be inspected. Guys, this is an assembly line which should have a great deal of consistency. This is an incredible auto.

    ICE parking in Sioux Falls

    The Sioux Falls Supercharger was recently activated and with a planned charging event last Sunday at 4 pm, I found all 8 stalls filled with ice autos. I had previously made three trips by the HiVee site to check the progress never seeing autos parked there. A possible recommendation would be to...

    Wow, white tail deer with wings

    Had a scary event the other night, hitting a white tail deer (large) doe. She hit the front end of the S. Probably more damage than appears, but most impressive was how stable the car was. The deer went directly over the top of S. The other thing, my car was in Omaha for maintenance, and this...
