We don't drive a lot. Online just shows the 2 years option but they also have a 4 year option.

Thanks. Appreciate it. Will add them to the list. I will likely go with Tesla's ESA! 8500 CAD for 4 years more usage of the car is a good deal.

Friends, any updates!

Hi Friends, My 2020 Model X has warranty expiring soon and I plan to keep it for 2-4 more years. I paid for a general checkup with Tesla and we did following things: 1. Replaced Dryer, Dessicant, Hepa filter, Cabin filter, Wiper: Proposed and Paid by me 2. General check up: Proposed and Paid by...

That is good insight.

Wife really likes her Model X. I believe Raven Model X was peak Model X. I wouldn't get the new Model X, because it lacks the stalks and buttons. Right now the car is giving me no issues, so I don't mind even paying the extended warranty for 2 more years. I will likely keep this car as long as...

Hi I have a 2020 Model X Raven bought in March 2020. My warranty is expiring soon. I got an appointment for a service. I have a few questions: 1. What are the typical high risk of failure items that I can ask them to inspect? 2. Is it worth it to get the 2 year extended service agreement. My car...

Thanks. Is it better in wet conditions over the OEM?

Thanks Scott. Did it perform as well or better than the OEM in the summer.

Thanks. How did they perform in summer? I currently have the OEM all season and also OEM winter. OEM winter are very wobbly above freezing temperatures.

I am also considering these tires. How are they in warm weather vs the OEM continental? Thanks

Hi Everyone, Thanks for your help with this. We live in Vancouver and are looking for a new tire for my 2020 Model X. The car would be just for driving within the city, so efficiency is not very important. In Vancouver we do get rain 4-5 months a year and snow for maybe 2-3 weeks per year. We...

Thanks for this info. Really useful. When you said that you noticed a lot of charging towards the end: was it on the car or the 12v battery and how did you find out.

Thanks, this is really useful. I will keep it charged and see how it goes.

Hi Friends, I am traveling for the next 2 months and my Model X will be plugged in but not driven. Will it causes discharge issues with the 12v battery? I know in many cases, the 12V battery is charged solely through the alternator in gas cars. Is that the same with the Model X or will it be...

I had the same issue as @wreighven - "EVAP TEMPERATURE SENSOR" - which was replaced. Took two visits to fix it. Normally we wouldn't need to know details of such basic operations of vehicles, but with Tesla you never know. I have never faced this issue with 10+ cars I have owned and sadly...

I schedule an appointment. Let's see how it goes.

Thanks. I checked for range mode and it wasn't on. I tried a few other things. I set the temperature to LO an the cabin would start cooling immediately. Then I set the temperature to HI and it was minutes before the cabin started feeling lukewarm. Is this normal?

Hi Everyone, I had a 90D long back, which I had to lease transfer when I moved from Seattle to Vancouver. Recently got a Raven 100D. New car is a huge improvement compared to the older car. Especially the suspension is much better. I am however facing two issues which I haven't faced with my...

I am impressed with Chrome's pace of development and how fast it became the best browser. Firefox is finally starting to catch up! Agreed that Waymo is a subsidiary, but they must have benefitted from the experience and infrastructure already available at Google. Anyways, whoever brings self...

I hope they do. Given the shitty implementation of Auto wipers, which never work when you expect them to, I won't hold my breath.

Unfortunately Tesla employees mislead in their discussions. Need to be careful with what they say. In my case, they did a demo on AP1 car for show functionalities which didn't exist on the car I was buying!

I tried this today. This is not BSM. This is just ultrasonic sensors, which are not very reliable, can't handle fast moving objects and are limited in distance. And lack of BSM is the reason why Tesla has a disclaimer in lane change on Auto Steer if there are fast moving vehicles in adjacent...

Thanks. I will try it when I am driving tomorrow.

Can you please share any links or videos about it. After AP2, Tesla even removed references to blind spot monitoring from their feature list.

I have mixed feelings about our X. We have a six seat 90D with most upgrades. Things I like: Electric drivetrain is great. No lag at all. I used to drive manual and felt automatic drivetrains were a compromise. Not any more. Handling is really good for a SUV. The steering is very precise. The...

Got an showroom inventory vehicle which was never used for those purposes. Nothing has to replaced and got 14k discount! Car had 8 miles.

I went for a service about the road noise. The technician said that the noise is within the spec and Tesla’s are noisier than other cars. She also said that most of it is wind noise coming from the huge windshield and the frameless windows and more than once said that she wishes Tesla used...

Hi All, Someone hit my car a week back while I was waiting at red light to take a right turn :( Fortunately, the damage is pretty minor. There is a minor scratch in the right side of the bumper. Not sure how things look inside. Do you have any recommendation for body shops in this general area...

Great decision. I am also not buying another Tesla for 3 years. Their powertrain is great. Hope they can learn how to build the rest by then.

Seriously dude! Suppose you buy and iPhone with 2 year warranty, don't make any claim and drop it after a year - would you new phone get a 2 year warranty? Seriously, what world do some people live in!

Isn’t that a temporary fix. To avoid this I am driving in Low mode. I would rather pay for tires every year rather than deal with the shudder.

Are there any solutions? Acceleration shudder also has lot of posts but doesn’t have any solutions. With Model X, the powertrain is great. Rest isn’t. Suspension, Interior, Audio, Interior noise, Seat Comfort, Utility, Reliability - they are all notches below competitors who are 10s of...

My car is a June 2017 build. Mode X is just a gift which keeps on giving.

MX is really bad with interior noise! I can’t hear what my wife is saying when she is sitting right behind me.

This is sad. Having used luxury cars for a long time you take a few things for granted. One of those would be not having deafening level of noise in the car. Hope they can fix it. I have resigned to the fact that Model X will be our urban car and we will get another car for long trips.

Well they could be wrong. I just checked that it’s unsafe to be exposed regularly to 85+ dB. Many other family cars are around 68.

Hi All, I finally started doing longer trips in Model X. Yesterday, we noticed that the interior noise level was pretty high. My wife was sitting right behind me but we couldn't hear each other well. The noise seems to be much more than other cars we have had and getting to an uncomfortable...

Just like I wouldn’t let 4 year old kid handle the garage door button, so shouldn’t Tesla. And Tesla is much dumber than a 4 year old.

As much as I hate the funky quirks of Tesla, I think this is user fault. When I configured the Garage Opener - I decided to not use Auto-close - because I don't trust the safety of the car doing it automatically. I still had auto-open switched on. However what I didn't realize was that the...

Yep. It might be a good idea to checkout videos of both to know the difference. Price difference is what is it. Main question right now is do you prefer 6 seats or 7seats. If you love 7 seats, it also cheaper so awsome. If like me you love 6 seats, you need to decide whether the price difference...

Second row of 7 seat is bench seating and mechanical. Second row of 6 seat is captain style monopost seat and costlier.

Sorry to hear this and glad everything turned out well in the end. Take care!

This is awesome! Very informative and reflects as much as I remember. I was sliding sideways at slow speed. We have sidewalk on one side and a lip on other side. The car slowed against the lip and then I slowly got it in control by using gravity to straighten the car. Needless to say it was scary.

Good point. It doesn’t snow a lot here. This year it snowed after 7 years. I am getting an Audi all road for my long trips so will definitely get snow tires for that one.

Yep, it was 30F before that and raining for a couple of hours. Just wondering what else could I have done. Disable regen? Traction control (which is hidden in menus)?

It was on a slope. It is also possible that there was ice below the fresh snow. 15 minutes later a RWD BMW went sideways just like me at the same place. A passerby tried to help but he couldn’t even walk on the road.

Hi Friends, We got some snow in Seattle today and I wanted to show ModelXMas to my parents. We probably had 2 inches of snow in the driveway and on the road. My car was parked facing out inside the garage and I decided to go on the road to take a U turn so that I can park the car outside the...

Trip update: Just got back from the trip. Took US-2 to Leavenworth and I-90 on the way back. Started 90% on both and could have done both without needing to charge. However on the trip back, it claimed I would reach home with 18%. On both the trips, every charger was unoccupied (even the...

Thanks for calming my nerves :)
