Here are three pictures. The cap used, the button without the cap, and the cap installed. This is on my 2017 model X and it is different than on the newer versions. The button in mine is more protected than on the newer Model X, but I have a lot of things in it and in an emergency I do not...

I covered the button with the large round top off an used Walgreens prescription bottle. Like the one in the photo below. It snaps right over the square protection shield and stays put with no fasteners needed.

I run my 2017 Model X with 245/55R19s at between 42 and 44 lbs of pressure. The sticker on the car calls for 42lbs all the way around. I changed the Michelin Premier LTX 245/55/19 at 50,000 miles and replaced them with Michelin Defender LTX as the Premiers are NLA in this size. The new tires...

Thanks for the comment. I never mentioned before that I replaced the tires with over 50,000 miles on them and they still had decent tread. Also I had very little wear extra on the inside of the tires when on the rear. I did rotate every 5,000 miles and used the low setting on the air...

You can easily cut the lug caps down to the right size like I did.

Yes 19x8 model s wheels.

It's held up fine and works as well as ever. I sliced the ends of each piece of molding at an angle and they are only 1/4" high so no drag that I can notice.

We are dong well. We have new solar panels and 3 Powerwalls so never lost power and was able to provide power to two other homes as well. Many homes in our community were flooded but we only had minor damage to the exterior of our home.

Sorry for the delay. I am in the hurricane Ian area, so just got internet etc. back. I posted the cure on the Tesla forum but it is no more. This should help. Jan 16, 2020 Add bookmark #12 I have had this problem and I got this solution from another Tesla web site and posted in here in...

Try using "Range Mode". Also, I am getting much more range from my "2017" 100D at 75MPH then you are at 65MPH because I am running 19" Slipstream wheels from a Model S with 245X55x19 Michelin Defenders. A plaid running 22" wheels and tires is not going to give you good range no matter what you do.

Ours were installed in my garage May 5th. The tires were inflated to 46 pounds and front suspension components greased by hand at no cost as prevenative maintenance. Also I was asked if I had any questions or concerns about the car. Removed a rubber seal along the trailing edge of the falcon...

Thank you for the info!

There was for me. I am having the cameras on my 2017 model X replaced to ones that will make FSD available, at last, on my car. I noticed that the housing around the rear view mirror that covers the cameras on this new Model X are much larger then the one on my Model X. My concern is my...

Any idea what is in that white box next to the 1st Supercharger?

I have been running these tires now for over 4 years and 50,000 miles on Model S Slipstream wheels with no problems. I am getting ready to replace them soon, but they are not wore out yet.

Marquette is the only Tesla charger open in the U.P.

As of June 28 at around 2PM. No transformer, but two worker in truck set to "pull wires".

I understand your concern about the load range with my 103H tires. However, My X is a 5 passenger and is at least 500 lb lighter then a 7 passenger which has the 108 load range as stock so i was not too concerned.

Hi, To answer your questions: All wheels are R19 Slipstreams from the Model S. I had to shorten the lug nut covers 1/2" to match the look of them when on the 20" wheels. (see picture) I used the 6mm spacers on all wheels. You could use them only on the back if you want, but the setup works...

Eight and a half turns on the lug wrench until tight. As you can see from the second photo, the threads on the lug nut do not extend to the front of the nut, so I there is plenty of thread contract. Most recommend at least 6 and 1/2 turns.

I am not sure what you mean by "thread engagement", but I attached pictures of the tire tread today from one front and one back tire. The depth is 6/32" from the original 11/32"

I have been using Model S Slipstreams on my Model X 5 passenger for 4 years now. I mounted 245/55R19 Michelin on them. I also put 6mm spacers behind the wheels. I have had zero problems with this setup and get over 300 miles of range, 310WH/mile. I have five wheels and tires and rotate them...

Another benifit of the doors is If you forgot, or do not want to use Tesla's Overheat Protection on a hot day, opening the falcon doors and tailgate as you walk up to the car will drop the inside air temperature in a hurry.

Simple cheap cure for water intrusion.

When we got our Model X in the spring of 2017 I saw that the Escanaba Mi site was proposed by Tesla and thought it would be great that we could supercharge there to see relatives in the U.P. and Wisconsin while in Michigan. I am still waiting 3 years later. I can't believe that soon I will be...

Why not? https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Michelin&tireModel=Premier+LTX&partnum=455VR9PRLTX

i used stock Tesla Slipstreams from a model S like the ones shown here: Tesla Model S 2017 19" OEM Wheel Rim Slipstream As you can see from the specs they are only 8" wide. Some people say that these are not rated for the weight of the Model X. I have a 5 passenger Model X 100D which...

supercharger[@]tesla.com is not monitored by Tesla anymore. You have to leave a message through the support page.

I used 10mm, 3/8" spacers and still no go.

The USS Badger runs on a coal fired boiler. Some how that doesn't seem to go along with the idea of driving an EV.

255/60/19 on slipstream 19" wheels from a model S does not fit. I tried. I did not try 265/55/19 tires. I used Michelin Premier LTX 245/55/19 since May 2017 on my X and they work well. Softer ride and better range then stock 20" wheels and tires and they have the same diam. as the original...

Tesla Rocks! We have a 2017 Model X and a 2019 Chevy Bolt. We also have 5.2 KW solar with a solar water heater and two Powerwall 2's that backup the whole house. In the past my plan was to charge the cars up before any tropical storm was due in the area. With this update, I do not see this...

The 19" Slipstreams work great on a Model X. I've been using them on a 2017 Model X 100d for over 3 years. However you need to use 245/55R19 tires as the originals are too small for an X. The Michelin Premier LTX I am running on mine have 35,000 miles on them and my range is over 310 miles.

No wonder you want local pickup. Shipping from Mars is a definite deal breaker!

It works even in heavy Florida summer storms

Mr. Ed, Oct 19, 2018 It's not Space X rocket science!

I have posted this fix before. My homemade cure for $15 is here: 2nd Row Rain Water Problem Solved | Tesla Pictures on my next post

Picked up a screw halfway on a1450 mile emergency trip to be with my Mom who broke a hip at 100. I had only 6,000 miles on the car at the time. I had swapped my 20" slipstreams and tires for 5 Model S slipstreams previously, so was able to get my spare out under the back storage lid and change...

No, I am saying that our Bolt has better fit and finish and actually rides better on our local roads than our 2017 Model X. We have had it for a year now with no problems at all. The Tesla has been in the shop for several issues and is currently waiting for back-ordered front door latches and...

We own a model X and a Bolt. I love the X but it is not perfect. The Bolt is great around town, is easy to park and actually rides better over the same bumps in the road. Our Bolt's build quality is flawless. The Model X, not so much. However, if I could only have one car it would be a...

I'm running 19" Model S slipstream wheels with Michelin 245/55R19 tires. I have 25,000 miles on them and looks like I will get at least 25K more on them. I am get over 300 mile of range per charge and have a great ride and no fear of potholes. Not "Boy Racer" tires and wheels but great ride...

Running 2018.5 and had no problem opening the charge door pushing the button on the charge cord in my garage a few hours ago

I just got a confirmation from a Tesla rep that you cannot transfer your Model 3 Deposit to a Model Y. He suggested that I request a refund of the deposit and make a new one for the Y when available.

Who in the heck needs auto wipers anyway? I have turned them off on every car I ever owned. I use rain x and rarely even use the wipers. I was traveling in a car once at twilight on the interstate that had the auto wipers on. We ran into a fresh hatch of bugs and the auto wipers came on. We...

I have one that is the same as one listed on eBay for a model S. It was never installed in a Tesla. It was under the seat in my Model X when I took delivery in 2017. It has the same numbers and looks the same as the eBay one listed for a Model S. It looks the same as the one in my Model X...

Have an X and just got a Chevy Bolt as a second car because the Model 3 is too low to get into for me. Only had the Bolt a few days but find it to be a well built and easy to use car. I would buy a Y to replace the X. The X is a great car but too large for us. I bought it because it was the...

True, but I think the higher profile Michelin are a safer tire and I got no grief from the SC when I showed the tires to them. So to each his own.

I've been using 5 Model S Slipstreams with Michelin Premier LTX 245/55R19 tires on our 5 seat Model X for over 22,000 miles. The wheels actually appear stronger than the 20's as the wheel hub is thicker. I use the 5th wheel and tire as a spare and rotate all 5 every 5,000 miles. Had one flat...
