    Issues with Auto Front Doors

    I have a 2023 Model X LR with about 600 miles on it. The car had already been in service for a week or so for some alignment issues. Since I got the car back I am having some trouble with my driver door opening automatically. It opens just a crack but doesn't swing open the way it should. There...

    Ordering California Personalized Plates

    What's the latest on ordering custom plates in CA? Still big delays? I hate having to wait for my white issued plate to come first before being able to order my custom plate.

    Wiki Model X Order/Delivery Tracking - Google Sheet

    I am frustrated. Ordered in AUG 2021, and my delivery date got pushed again from NOV9-NOV30 to NOV19-DEC7. I need this car before the end of the year. Last communication I got from Tesla was if I had any trade-in. I also called a rep to make sure I completed everything there is to complete. Just...

    Wiki Model X Order/Delivery Tracking - Google Sheet

    Well Tesla might not but you can still tell by the VIN number and once you list the car some day on cars.com or anywhere, you'll have to put in a model year. At that point it won't matter if Tesla officially uses MYs or not. It's important for reference so you know what/what not to expect to be...

    Wiki Model X Order/Delivery Tracking - Google Sheet

    Question - at what point can I expect my Model X to be a 2023 Model Year? I'd hate to get shafted on delivery wait time and get a MY2022 in December of 2022.

    No more free unlimited supercharging for some used Tesla vehicles

    I find it quite ridiculous from Tesla. I love the cars but these constant changes with the products and services are just extremely annoying.

    FS: 19" Vorsteiner V-FF 103 - BRAND NEW

    I just bought this set of Vorsteiner V-FF 103 wheels but don't like the look of them on my car. They are brand new and ceramic coated (by myself). These are over $2200 new. SIZE: Front: 19x9.5 +22 Rear: 19x10.5 +25 5x120 mm bolt pattern Let me know if you want more info. Again, they are BRAND...

    FS: 20" Niche M117 Wheels BLACK (set of 4) + 2 Tires

    Hi, I am selling a set of 20" Niche Misano M117 wheels that I had on my Tesla. FRONT 20x9 ET38 REAR 20x10 ET40 The front left and rear right have a few scrapes that can be fixed for less than $100. The wheels looked great but I want something different on my new car. The rears also come with...

    People who went from an S to a 3, how do you feel about it?

    I also like both. I still own a Model S but have driven the Model 3 Performance for a few days. It drives really nice and agile and the cabin has a very cool feel especially with the all white interior. The seats are also fantastic. I don't like the storage hole in the center cosole because it's...

    M3 EAP slowing down question.

    Had a similar situation today. I was driving in the farthest to the left lane and the car wanted me to change into the carpool lane (navigate on autopilot) and my car suddenly braked pretty hard from 75 mph to about 55 mph because there wasn't a gap big enough to merge into the carpool lane. I...

    North Americans: Would you pay for Spotify? VOTE!

    Yes give us Spotify in the US! I enjoyed it in a EU Model S and think Spotify is the best. Slacker is a joke.

    AP1 scare

    Well there is no solution to "stupid" is there. That's like saying a GT3 is "bad/dangerous" because some reckless "stupid" guy drives 180 mph on a 3 lane road, crashes and dies. As long as the autopilot doesn't suddenly try to make a rapid turn out of nowhere pointing the car at the center...

    AP1 scare

    How could you expect anything else? That's why you still need to monitor what is going on.

    AP1 scare

    Well it's not perfect but that's why you gotta pay attention. This sort of thing happens with pretty much any active cruise control. I won't even let the car accelerate hard when the car in front changes lanes. I will wait for a second and then disengage immediately or adjust the max speed...

    36month lease over soon, my learnings/my plan...

    Ya that's true. I am considering extending it either waiting for a model refresh or looking for a unicorn 2016 Model S LCI, white with AP1 or AP2, and unlimited supercharging. There were only a few made I believe. But these leases should be up around the same time as mine since a few weeks after...

    36month lease over soon, my learnings/my plan...

    Ughh I also don't know what to do with my lease that's ending in April. I want to keep the car but I am just not sure if it's financially smart. I do love my AP1, Sunroof, and Alcantara (and the old yacht floor center console). :/

    AP1 Updates?

    AP1 works great for me anyways. I don't really see the need of much further improvements.

    US Bank end of Lease

    I thought the CPO program is dead? So wouldn't that mean that you don't get another 4 years of warranty? Sorry, I am confused.

    US Bank end of Lease

    Oh crap! I had no idea there is no more CPO program. So there is no REAL benefit except for possibly getting a lower price than the original residual, correct? I am so disappointed at Tesla at the moment. The cars are great imo, but the way the company functions is just terrible. No more CPOs...

    US Bank end of Lease

    Can anyone say if they have successfully done that before? Because I am considering doing exactly that.

    US Bank end of Lease

    What? The Alcantara dash disappeared? Wow I was totally unaware of that. That's a huge bummer for me. I absolutely love that Alcantara up there. It makes the interior look a bit fancier which helps a lot in this minimalistic cabin. I think I will just have to buy out the lease. The price seems...

    US Bank end of Lease

    I did and I have been. But then I go back to forums and keep reading how financially wrong it is to buy out a lease. So I am confused haha.

    US Bank end of Lease

    I actually find my lease residual pretty okay. I mean it's like $58k for a 16' Model S with AP1 with 36k miles? Am I missing something? Can't find many cars like that for that price.

    Best Accessories for Model S?

    I definitely recommend this center console container. I have it and I think it's the best add-on I added to my car. I think it's much better than the new center consoles as well...

    New multi-color laser wire front lighted T for facelift cars

    Looks amazing! Wish you made this for the classic front fascia as well. I am so frustrated that I got my car 2 weeks before the facelift was released.

    Too young for a Model S

    Don't feel bad my friend. I got my 90D through some lucky coincidences after I sold my BMW when I was 27. Things happen. Enjoy your car and enjoy your life!

    Charge Port Will Not Unlock

    My problem with the charge port is that when I have the cable plugged in, and try to unplug it by pushing the little release button on my charge cable, the car will unlock the cable for maybe half a second and then it locks it in again. It's quite annoying because you gotta be pretty fast to...

    Autopilot steering wheel hack

    Yes I get that, but you pretend that the moment from the autopilot doing something wrong to the moment of a crash is just like 0.02 seconds. I don't know. I never had any close calls or anything that was scary in 3 years. I am not saying that the AP never failed on me, I am saying that usually I...

    Autopilot steering wheel hack

    It is possible. But I don't know why I would need to fumble in order to move my hand from my lab to the wheel. That's maybe 10 cm. I do agree that this is too risky for some people who are not good at making decisions, but that doesn't mean that others can't operate the car safer and more...

    Supercharger - Santa Ana, CA (12 V2 stalls)

    Autopilot steering wheel hack

    Only cause you're using an autopilot buddy doesn't mean you can't pay attention or take over when you notice the car doesn't do what it's supposed to do. You still have to pay attention no matter what but you don't have to hold the wheel.

    Installing Viofo A129 dashcam with park mode

    Gotcha. Ya he couldn't access the car anymore and since this was a April 2016 (like mine - so looking like a older style car but it's actually a new refreshed car under the skin) it took Tesla quite a while to figure it out haha.

    Installing Viofo A129 dashcam with park mode

    But 12v battery can still die with the cars big battery still having significant charge. It happened to my friends Model S.

    Installing Viofo A129 dashcam with park mode

    It doesn't get the power from the 75kwh battery though. It gets it from the smaller 12 volt battery with 33ah I think.

    V9 - BUT OLD NAVIGATION?

    That's very interesting indeed. Hmm, I will see if I can make it to the SC soon. I got some rattle noise coming from the passenger front right area anyways, and something loose flying around inside the rear right door panel. So it might be worth it going.

    V9 - BUT OLD NAVIGATION?

    Thanks guys. My car is in my garage and while it's just 20 feet away from my router, I know that my garage doesn't have the best connection (even with my phone etc). So possibly that's why I never got it. Maybe I should try moving the router for a few days and see if that helps.

    V9 - BUT OLD NAVIGATION?

    Hi everyone, so I know there is quite some controversy about v9. My biggest issue that's bothering me, is that I still seem to have the old NAV in my 2016 Model S (pre refresh) so I don't have the feature "Use HOV Lanes" for example. Are there any others out there with this problem? I saw one...
