    A sales path for X -> Y?

    I love our X, but it is a bit more vehicle than we need. The Y will be a good option right around the time our X turns 5, but I'm concerned about it being a downgrade on creature comforts. The first look last night suggested the Y will be on the same spartan trim level as the 3. Is there any...

    Range: --- mi

    I'm away on vacation and checked in on my X (plugged in at long-term parking) and found the pic below. Anyone seen this before and know what it means?

    Dolby Surround Sound keeps turning Dolby Surround Sound

    The Dolby Sound option of my 2017 X keeps turning off each time my car powers off. The feature works fine while turned on. It's strange that a feature that I spent a chunk of change to upgrade keeps getting disabled. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is it a sign of some problem?

    Tool Balancer: My new favorite home charger hack

    You know how gas pumps have that retracting cord that keeps the hose off the ground? I bought a tool balancer and made the same thing for my wall charger. I'm really happy with the results would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a more organized charger area or needs to charge more...

    Hooray! Got to use my tow hitch.

    One evening, my wife runs in to tell me her dad parked his ICE SUV in the ditch in front of our house. Oops. One wheel was in the air and the opposite one had no traction, so even with AWD and a limited slip differential, this vehicle was going nowhere. I'd never bothered to install the tow...

    My Tesla taught my 4 year old to say f***

    It happened so quickly. One minute I left my little angel in the safety of my X and the next I came back to a preschooler cheerfully swearing like George Carlin. Here's how it happened: I was getting ready to get out for a quick task. I set the A/C and my little girl asked "Daddy, please play...

    Anyone here total their X?

    I'm updating my insurance and am contemplating the Better Car Replacement offering. It's a trivial cost at only $9/mo but it got me wondering if it's even worth it at that price. I haven't seen any threads in the X forum or word of mouth.

    That's a different way to mount the front plate

    Parked next to another X that had a unique solution to the mandatory front plate rule in WA. It's a sticker that is an excellent reproduction of the normal metal plate. Seems counterproductive if your goal is to not modify the number, but I suppose that wasn't their plan. Anyone else seen this?

    It looks like it could fly, so I built some runway lights

    My mirrors have only one inch clearance through our garage door, so I need high precision when I park. Current version AP2 Summon always parks too crooked for all four doors to be usable, so I built a tool to help me park perfectly every time: More images These runway lights are placed to be...

    Phone too wide for the bracket? 3D print this!

    I found the smartphone handling in the 2017 mX to be a bit behind the times. Ignoring the lack of USB-C, the most techie car in the world wouldn't even hold my Nexus 6P. However, we live in the golden age of Makers, so I decided to solve the problem myself: These new clips hold thicker and...

    Spoiler brake light only works sometimes

    I don't understand when the 3rd brake light in the spoiler is supposed to come on. I have an AP2 75D and I've seen the spoiler light up when pressing the brakes a few times. I've also confirmed that the X avatar in the dashboard display mirrors the times when the light is on, so it definitely...
