Highly suggest looking into rim protectors. Personally I've used 22" Alloygators on all my cars. One of my dumb moments where I turned too early and completely hit a high curb. Super loud BANG ! Not 1 scratch on the wheel... only banged up plastic protector thats easily replaceable. With OPs...

Ive been using Kuat NV2.0 on our X for many years. Definitely prefer these than the hanging style racks !

Depends on your driving / travel needs. By my observation navigating on 20" wheels the estimated battery % arrival is surprisingly accurate. With 22"s it's usually 2-3% less after arriving to destination. Of course further the distance it may impact more. They say overall it should be 10-15%...

+1 for Kuat. I have a 3-bike Kuat rack that surprisingly can back up into Super Chargers as well. Definitely helps to have a person guiding you as you back park.

+1 for Satin. I ordered a chrome delete kit from Tesla Bros. Here's the result

The OEM 22" Pirelli Scorpion tires are a big culprit to the range impact. I recently just swapped them out and put on Michelin Pilot 4S and have noticed an improvement. It's not quite as good as 20" OEM wheels but definitely better. Wh/Mile really ranges on how each person drives and if...

For normal day to day driving they feel pretty similar to the Pirelli Scorpions.

I just replaced my 22" wheel tires a week ago and went through the same dilemma so I'll share my experience. As everyone knows going to Tesla's 22" wheels has a pretty significant range hit between 10-15%. I've looked into getting lighter 22" wheels but in the end didn't feel like dropping...

I just got a Model X loaner from their internal fleet. Its a older P90D without side cameras so must be 2016 or 2017? The touch screen MCU1 feels super sluggish. And the rear view camera looks so pixelated compared to our 2018 model w/ MCU 2.5 Definitely get a newer version if you can

Sellings points for me when I convinced my wife. - Falcon wing doors : Save your back loading the kids into traditional SUVs (we had a Audi Q5 before). Model X loading kids is a god send! - Auto Pilot : At first my wife didnt want me to use it since she didn't trust it. Then one day after I...

3/18 , MX 100D. Been driving back on 20" wheels again. ~30K miles. 100% at most is around 265. Ive raised my concern with Tesla and they just told me to charge more regularly to 90% daily basis. Ive done so for few months now and.... no improvement. Sucks Ive had 10% battery degradation...

Pretty straight forward. DIY job yes. I just popped off the cover piece with a wedge tool. The connector as shown in the picture has 3 wires -- Red, yellow, black. I suggest to use a multi meter to probe. I don't recall exactly which I used. I think theres another thread on here where...

+1 hardwire through rear view mirror. I bought a Blend Mount (BV1-2035) and Mirror Tap (MTX-1010). Easy to take off the plastic piece underneath rear view mirror and tape into the 3-pin connector. Radar only turns on when the car is on. And shuts off when it goes into sleep mode. Here are...

Depends on how effort your willing to make. Private car sales usually have higher sale price compared to selling to dealers (e.g. Car max , etc...) I've sold 2 cars on Craiglist in the bay area before and had pretty good results. Just need to deal with showing people the car, giving them a...

Happened to me a few times before. Check the settings in the app to make sure Face ID is enabled. Sometimes it de-selects it after a App update or some unknown reason.

Ive used Brica Seat Guardian after reading and watching reviews. My main purpose was prevent car seat indention onto the white MX seats. Since you need to tighten it down pretty secure after 7+ years of it I'm sure it will have a irreversible effect. Ive used it with my Britax B-Safe 35...

I would've vinyl wrap the door handles since that is high contact area. Plasti Dip will quickly wear off

Same exact question I was asking myself earlier today. Is it confirmed if we opt NOT to purchase FSD $2K now that next Monday it will increase back to $5K or whatever it is before?

Just for future owner reference. My issue was root caused to a blown fuse tied to my tire TPMS sensors. It's very likely that fuse was blown due to my blackvue dash cam. More digging to find out how this happened since it was professionally installed by Johnny @ Calibred Customs. Not sure if...

Look into Full XPEL Stealth wrap. Gives you full protection + matte/satin look. And if you want to go over the top you can ceramic coat the XPEL film. This is exactly what I did on my white MX but I chose to do clear XPEL instead of stealth.

Reviving this thread again. Pretty limited threads on V1 hardwire for Model X. Attempted the hardwire install last night. Saw the same 3 wires (red, yellow, black) on the receiving connector and used a multi-meter to test it out. Case 1: At first I connected it to black and yellow and saw...

Damn. And I thought red HOV stickers were bad. Purple now? Jebus.

There are some others who went with T-sport line 22" which are similar or less than Stock 20" wheels and claimed they get the same or better range. I considered that route but in the end could not justify paying $10K for a set of wheels compared to $3.5K Tesla 22"s from buying referral award...

For this reason I decline the V9 upgrade every day I drive the car. Would rather not give up top half backup camera over all the new v9 updates. Personally I've only adjusted AC speed on the steering wheel ball. Hopefully that is still do-able?

Echoing the same experience in my X. Was caught by surprise when I turned off blinker mid auto-lane change. Violent swerve back to original lane if you don't let it complete the lane change.

@ OP. I was exactly like you pre-purchase, post-purchase, and after taking delivery. If I had to make one comment thats a downside. Living in the Bay area Model X is pretty common sight. Feels like it's as common as a BMW or Lexus on the road which isn't a surprise being in California and EV...

Ive been waiting for 3 months now. Still pending.

Wow. The S and X in that showroom are pretty far apart. How it damaged both I have no idea.

Place the order online o_O

It is unfortunate that Tesla quality still is a hit or miss it seems after 2 yrs of Model X production. But after calling the service center 15x plus I finally got lucky and got a Model S loaner. Apparently you need to call the exact time they have a loaner available and before they give it...

I agree that potential new owners placing orders should have the expectation that their new Tesla delivery will not be without issues. And yes much easier said than done when your shelling out $100K for a new car. I guess push comes to shove when you get put into a crappy ICE rental for over...

Yeah I just chose to ignore his posts which add zero value. Everyone is entitled to their comments. He see's it as complaining. I see it as a snapshot of Tesla's quality for March 2018 when sales people / owners put it on a high pedal stool to downplay it because quality issues posted online are...

Sigh. It seems we're both in the same boat. After my first major SC visit (now) I'll only have the car 2 weeks out of 4 since delivery. Thanks for providing the issues you've experienced. Very informative and makes me nervous once I get the car back what other issues or repeat fixes will...

Yep this SC covers the gas as well. I didn’t know about getting reimbursed with receipts was possible so good to know!

*update* Took the MX into service today. Looks like they're keeping the car for ~2wks to address the issues I highlighted. - Driver seat crease ---> Replacing entire driver seat. Lead time for new seat 6wks + - FWD water ingress ---> The doors failed water seal test even when closed. So...

Ive had my fair share of issues with new cars especially when I bought a 2003 350Z (first year production). That car had over 25 warranty repairs within the first few months that even service reps pulled up my record and commented "this is a new car"?. The expectation is quite different when...

Another note. What’s the point of Tesla’s “Customer experience specialist” position? I got contacted by one a week after taking delivery as a follow up. I noted all the issues I had thus far and I don’t hear back for almost a week. After I get a response asking if I took it to the service...

Pulled the trigger on Jan 31st. Not like I was aiming to get a end of March car? Anyway, thanks for the tips. Not sure if this will qualify as lemon law territory but who knows. Wouldnt be surprised when more serious issues pop up later

Ah, I actually typed up all the issues but TMC has a 10 min limit when posting on the phone so it didn't go through (and didn't feel like typing it again). Anyway, feels like i've been discovering a new issue literally almost everyday since I picked up the MX. Manufactured towards end of March...

Picked up my new Tesla Model x 100D a lil over 2 weeks ago. Took the car into service center 3 times so far.

+1 Another new Tesla Model X owner of about 2 weeks. Same thing happened to me today. Sitting at a red light. 17" screen becomes unresponsive. Freezes then starts glitching like crazy. Eventually while driving all screen goes black and it reboot itself after a few minutes. Seems to be OK for...

I had this exact question since I just picked up my MX last week. The FWD's has no issues fully opening in my garage and I set the option to always fully open in that GPS location but it always open 3/4 of the way due to either the other parked car or the garage ceiling. Kind of annoying so...

Another unexpected surprise was that the quick connection phone dock is no longer included (even with premium package)? Looks like previously this was included before but I asked and they said they removed this now. So I have to spend almost $40 for it ? Man. Pay $130K for a new car and...

+1 for All weather mats and entire XPEL wrap. Will definitely help towards the longevity of the car And with kids I would even recommend XPEL wrapping the seat backs as well if your willing to spend the $$. Im sure those will get scuffed up in no time with kids

Yeah kind of disappointment. No fob key box, no swag, nothing. Just a whole lot of waiting and rushing to get out.

The day finally arrived after ~2 months of waiting. Pulled the trigger on a X 100D on 1/31 and took delivery 3/28. Here are some of my thoughts for to-be owners, rants, and praises. After placing order the delivery specialist (in Fremont) contacted me and kept good communication throughout the...

Nice! Funny I'm picking up my X100D on Saturday and planning the same exact mods on chrome delete. Ive been tossing up the idea between PlastiDip versus RPM pre-cut wrap (for all chrome parts except door trim since thats not available). I think if you went with RPM Tesla wrap it would've cost...

If you can claim DV then get an estimate (online company or other sources) and demand that compensation from the other insurance company. Anything that requires repair, structural, bumper, paint correction, whatever) and if shown on CarFax reports later on WILL affect your resale value. My...

Does anyone have a White Ultimate vs Stealth comparison? Would love to see that

I guess the only thing soon-to-be new owners can do is test drive the car at delivery and confirm its not an issue right off the bat. If it is then refuse delivery?
