    FSD AND FUSC Transfer Offer this Quarter?

    Any drawbacks on holding off signing the FSD / FUSC transfer agreement until you see the car in person? We have a delivery date already scheduled, but wanted to make sure the car is acceptable (it's an inventory X), before we sign away the FSD/FUSC perks.

    [advice requested] Resolutions process

    Hi all, We've recently had a warranty claim denial for what Tesla claims are cosmetic issues on our X: 1) Rubber seals failing around falcon door roof glass trim (many threads about this one) 2) Clearcoat failing on roof trim It seems like (1) is covered depending on what SC you go to, and (2)...

    Headlight polycarbonate cloudy

    Hi all, Wondering if anyone else's headlights are become cloudy with age. In particular the plastic on one of our lights is becoming more cloudy which I think is super common for older cars. We attempted to get it fixed under warranty but they said it was not covered, only customer pay at...

    Tesla app showing someone else's house

    Hi all, Wondering if there is a way for us to remove and manually add a gateway to the app? Context: We had our solar + powerwall install this week, but the app shows us data back from a few days earlier than our install, meaning we are probably paired with the wrong house (the gateway serial...

    Cost to combine plumbing vents

    As an update, we went ahead and combined the vents to a single new 3" (thanks Wayne!) and submitted for a redesign to Tesla. They got back to us in 3 days approving the design change and adding ~10% more panels and sent us an updated contract. Fast forward to today, for our scheduled MPU...

    Cost to combine plumbing vents

    Only 3 toilets :*( The other fixtures have their own dedicated vents that aren't in the way of the panels

    Cost to combine plumbing vents

    Thanks this is helpful! I spent a few minutes looking at the CA code: Searchable platform for building codes Seems like we have 20 fixture units on this branch (3x toilets at 3.0 each + 1x washer at 3.0 + 1x laundry sink at 2.0 + 2x bathroom sinks at 1.0 + 2x bathtub at 2.0) which is below the...

    Cost to combine plumbing vents

    It doesn't include the cost of patching the roof unfortunately, so it seemed kind of high - i.e. total cost probably will end up being 2-2.5k to move 3 vents which seemed on the very high side. We found a highly-rated roofer on Thumbtack who is able to do light plumbing to combine the vent...

    Cost to combine plumbing vents

    Hi all, Trying to understand costs of moving PVC plumbing vent stacks. We recently got a quote to the tune of ~$400 for each vent moved, and another $400 on top for a new roof vent (i.e. we are moving all 3 into a new single vent). All vents are accessible and clearly visible from the attic...

    AP2 repeaters on AP1 car

    The 3/Y fit the S/X - I bought them off of ebay (at least 2017-2019 ones) and it fit fine. For install I used blue painters tape around the hole to make sure I didn't accidently scratch the fender. Otherwise <30 min switch out.

    HDMI interface to the touchscreen

    I can confirm that this is the way. Previously I was running an Apple TV via a HDMI splitter (input: hdmi, output: hdmi + 3.5mm audio) into a FM radio transmitter. It was OK on both MCU1 and now MCU2 due to intermittent reception static. Recently got a Samsung S21 FE ($400 at Best Buy) and...

    Black exterior rubber molding with cracks and chunks missing

    I'd be interested in joining a class action. I mentioned this seal issue the last time the car was in and their first question was "is this the first time you are complaining about this?". I get the feeling if I complained enough they would fix it, but it looks like its mostly cosmetic and it...

    Anyone else sick of "service"?

    Tesla has been giving out uber credits before the pandemic started. Once they started delivering model 3s, service has been going downhill. Previously, we would be well taken care of, almost everything (minus new tires) was covered under "goodwill". Now its a 50/50 chance that they will cover...

    Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

    "Without breaking a stride" The really underrated part of the X is the self opening/closing front doors. When you are holding two coffees in your hand and the door opens for you as you're walking up, you step in and press the brake and the door closes, its amazing. Same with exiting, if your...

    Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

    Just have to train them to not stand in the path of the door. Once the little ones are strapped into the car seat, no chance they'll get hit by the doors. The door creates a roof that blocks the sun/rain and makes it very easy to strap kids in. Compared to our 3, the X is much better in that...

    My Used X Buying Journey...from Tesla

    The paint scratching is something they won't fix - we've had worse on our X near the rear wing. The plastic trim is negotiable especially if its broken/damaged. When we picked up our car it actually still had the previous owner's registration card and insurance information in our glove box as...

    AP 1 what am I missing

    We have both a AP1 X and a AP3 3. AP3 seems to handle more situations and does it with more confidence. However, When AP3 fails, it seems to do it randomly. Phantom braking and failing intersections where it once was doing fine is scary because you can never be complacent with AP3. AP1 you...

    Buy 2016 X90D or Lease 2020 Long Range Model X

    Man, I would be disappointed in Tesla if this was true. This means that when they list the used car on their site they know *exactly* whats wrong with it, but hope that some sucker thinks its ok and pays full price. I.e. they only give pictures, but they can be giving so much more information...

    Buy 2016 X90D or Lease 2020 Long Range Model X

    Not sure if they enforce this one. There was some serious cosmetic issues (scratches, rims refinished the wrong color, holes in seats) in which Tesla would not cover under warranty. I doubt they are charging to fix the issue then turning around and selling the car without fixing said issues...

    Considering a Used Model X

    AP1 is called autopilot with convenience features. All X's built before 10/2016 are AP1. It's 3000 to activate it if it only says autopilot hardware. Battery size is most important IMO, but 100d prices are a bit too high still. Most cars under 50k miles come with a 4 year warranty, which the X...

    Plates and registration

    Took delivery in mid-November, got plates this week (~80 days). Seems like there is some kind of delay for Tesla as we've seen friends who bought non-Teslas in the same timeframe take only 2-3 weeks.

    California License Plate/registration time

    I'm probably an outlier with a CPO, but picked up 11/16, still waiting for plates and reg (temp tags expire in 2 weeks). I've been emailing the delivery specialist every 2 weeks since the 5-6th week, but was told to sit tight. The Sacramento DMV field office tells me that they are waiting on...

    FS: Taptes Model X 6-seater seat covers custom - Red/Black

    Purchased and installed Nappa red/black seat covers last week on a 2016 6-seater MX. Wife vetoed the color scheme (and seat covers in general - reupholster or bust). Paid $1k brand new, starting price at $800 + shipping. Prefer local pickup in bay area as the box is large to prevent folding...

    Electrician recommendations in Bay Area

    I would recommend ECP electric: https://www.yelp.com/biz/emanuel-perakis-licensed-electrician-campbell-3 Don't think he is the cheapest, but he is one of the most professional contractors we've seen across all trades. I.e. while he's there, he can recommend additional upgrades to the area...

    The used market is confusing

    I've had great experiences with Bay area service centers (Sunnyvale). They usually are reasonable and try to work with you to make sure that they can fix whatever comes up in a reasonable amount of time. However, I would reconsider buying a Tesla if it was the only car we had. Loaners are...

    Used X - info in 75d v 90d

    It's mostly the 150kw and SCs near target that have the line. Anytime you can multitask while charging during normal business hours (9am-9pm) seems to have at least 10-20 min wait times.

    The used market is confusing

    Tesla doesn't follow a traditional refresh cycle (e.g. yearly/mid-year). So its difficult to parse out what options a used car may have, it requires a bit of research in understanding what changed in the price range that you're looking at. There are some resources like Autopilot, Processors...

    2016 Model X vs 2018 Model S

    2) Hardware upgrades probably not covered. Software updates are included. Warranty covers most things *except* cosmetic issues and wear/tear issues that you fail to point out on delivery. E.g. if you are not happy about paint, dents, broken plastic pieces, torn leather, etc, you can ask them...

    2016 Model X vs 2018 Model S

    We have both a MCU2 (P3D) and a MCU1 (X). I would say MCU2 is more responsive and much quicker and certain things like mapping w/superchargers on-route. But once you have set your destination + music playlist its more or less the same experience. The major things missing are Netflix while...

    Used Model X from Tesla has 3/4 wheels painted black

    Car was purchased 2 weeks ago. Attached pictures of all 4 wheels. Good suggestion - added split the diff as an option in the poll. Also wondering how the warranty would work? If I have an issue (e.g. crack) down the line with the painted wheels, could they refuse service due to the paint?

    Used Model X from Tesla has 3/4 wheels painted black

    Hey all, Wondering if you guys can help set my expectations properly. I recently bought a used Model X from Tesla, on the listing it states 22" black onyx rims. After a couple of days it starts raining (Bay area) I noticed that the finish looks different for 1 of the wheels. Specifically, 3...

    Roadster trade-in process

    11/10 - Received trade-in value (just filling out the form for purchase which triggers another evaluation even though it had already received a quote) which was aligned with what others are quoting here - quite insulting to be honest. Interesting to see that the #'s don't initially align - i.e...
