    MXP Refresh - adjustment of dash air flow - RTFM!

    I cannot believe I did this, Tesla fanboy that I am. I am posting this for others. The wife and I recently completed 3 long weekend road trips the past 3 weekends in my 2022 MXP refresh. I leave the AC on 'auto' and at 68-69 degrees the air feels perfect - that is - until my non-technical...

    What happens during overnight deep sleep that fixes things?

    New 2022 MXP April delivery. Running current beta FSD. During this past weekend 4 day road trip I lost autopilot ability after first 30 min of trip from Pittsburgh to NYC. That's a long drive to lose AP. The very first error that day was that I had a turn signal malfunction during a manual...

    Disable Auto Present Doors at Home - Workaround

    I am trying a new workaround to temporarily prevent my phone from auto presenting my Model X doors (2022 Refresh Plaid). Rather than turning off the feature from the car, I simply swipe to open the control center on my iPhone and hit the BT icon. I learned that by temporarily turning off BT...

    PPF saved the hood of my new 2022 Plaid

    I recently took delivery of my blacked out MX Plaid in mid-April. I was trading in a 2017 X that I had treated with a ceramic coating - and LOVED the coating as it made her shine and she was so easy to wash. That car looked brand new for 4.5 years. So this time around, I make the plan with my...

    FS: 20" Sonic Carbon Wheels

    I am selling a set of four (4) 20" Sonic Carbon wheels with tires that have been in my garage for about 4.5 years. These wheels / tires were OEM for my then-new Model X 100D delivered in November 2017, which has now been traded in for a 2022 X. In May 2018, I elected to purchase the 22"...

    3rd Anniversary of my Modesta Coating

    I am celebrating my 3rd anniversary of MX ownership and my decision to spend the money on a Modesta coating. I can say unconditionally that this is money well spent. Every time I touch my car the paint is smooth as glass. It is SO easy to wash and it looks insane after a cleaning. I wash my car...

    Hail / acorn / small rock mini-dent on hood..... fixable?

    All, I have my small share of imperfections around my Model X after almost 2 years of ownership. Little micro-dings or chips, but really not noticeable unless you are OCD and see it every time you hand wash every square inch of the car - which I do. However I have 2 very small dents on the...

    Reliability of Evannex Rear Lighted T

    I purchased this product for my Model X 16 months ago: Lighted T for Tesla Model X (Rear) I had it professionally installed by the recommended installer for my area (as I recall, the installer was on a short list of recommended installers either by Evannex or by the manufacturer before Evannex...

    I'm thinking of donating my referral HPWC to my local volunteer fire company...

    Hi all, I am a firefighter / EMT and member of our local volunteer fire company. Our first due area is fairly rural - we are out in the country a bit, but not more than 20 minutes away from a Tesla store with public HPWCs. One of my close friends and brother EMT at the station purchased a...

    Great Article

    I am posting this here because the X forum is my home. If you are contemplating the purchase of a Tesla, placed your order, or you own one now, you'll probably love this read: Tesla shareholders who sell if EV maker goes private will be losers for one big reason: A.I.  Happy Friday everyone!

    What is the thing on the top of the Supercharger infrastructure in this pic with the massive conduit that runs up to it. Just curious. Took this pic while charging today and was checking out the high voltage equipment.

    HVAC is one of my favorite features on this car

    Say what you want about the air conditioner loud turbine engine sounds or any other ancillary dissatisfaction but the ability to turn on the heat or AC from the app is amazing. If you are in the hot weather and have not been using "keep climate control active" while you park, or using the app...

    Service 12v battery. Soon!

    I got the bug! Ugh. Time to get the procedure at the mothership. I love my car. I really do. But this is my 3rd SC issue in 6 months. I guess it's a joy of ownership.

    I've narrowed it down to three names....

    My Midnight Silver X100D has gone without a name for 4 months and this stops now. I need to put this to bed and move on. I have it narrowed to three names. 1. Priapus. The god of the erection. Priapus - Wikipedia This did not go over well with the wife. 2. Angels' Envy. This is the...

    My friend got (temporarily) auto-pilot banned within the first 24 hours of ownership LOL

    This is too good not to share. My very good friend (and my first referral) picked up his gorgeous blacked out X100D yesterday. Today he is on his first road trip with his wife about 45 minutes away to enjoy the new ride. I myself have only been an owner of a X100D for 4 months and frequent...

    The app tracks how much CO2 your referral is saving the environment

    I received my first referral today. He purchased a beautiful X100D black on black with the big black wheels. It is gorgeous. Look at the screenshot of my app. It tracks how much CO2 I helped save the earth as a result of my referral. This is so cool! I attached a pic of his ride too.

    I'm getting sick of the cold and it's only January

    Between yesterday and today my 6 week old X100D has a full coating of road salt and I can barely see the paint. It was 9 degrees this morning. I'm averaging 2000 k/wt hour of energy just to idle (ok maybe I'm exaggerating) and my range is cut by a third (not exaggerating). Poured a glass of...

    If you live in an area that has a deer problem, you know what I am talking about. I would love to see my vehicle alert me to the presence of deer as these lovely creatures dart out from the cover of night onto the roadways - particularly twisty country roads. While an alert would be nice, AEB...

    Hoarding of Public EV Parking Spot

    I currently have an MX on order for December delivery. I wanted to share a story from this morning.

    Been lurking here for almost 3 years. I'm In!

    Hello all. This is my first post on TMC. I've been in a full size Range Rover for the past 10 years (3 separate vehicles). I passed on the MS years back inasmuch as, at 6'2" 215 lbs with 2 kids, it was not the best 'fit' for my situation. But I was definitely hooked at that time (I had even...
