    Frequent Tire Punctures (4 in 7 months) Killing My Love For My Model X- Avg Every six weeks

    I've actually gotten this suggested on a couple of other forums as well. I am starting to lean towards this theory. While I would never be able to spot a individual nail or a piece of glass, I do avoid piles of debris that build up in certain places on the road. It makes sense that my AP...

    Frequent Tire Punctures (4 in 7 months) Killing My Love For My Model X- Avg Every six weeks

    Thats not exactly what I said. I am frustrated with the amount of tire punctures I am having and I am simply trying to figure out the cause as I have never had tire issues before owning a Tesla. Bc I've never had these problems with any other vehicle, yes I did wonder if there might be something...

    Frequent Tire Punctures (4 in 7 months) Killing My Love For My Model X- Avg Every six weeks

    Yea sorry I caught that! A spare tire, plus a jack, plus all the tools and supplies weighs close to 100lbs. 100lbs, of what should be unnecessary equipment will have an impact on range. I don't care how minimal it is, the fact of the matter is, the more weight you add to these vehicles, the...

    Frequent Tire Punctures (4 in 7 months) Killing My Love For My Model X- Avg Every six weeks

    Yes, very seriously. I have a pregnant wife, a 3 year old and a 5 year old and we take frequent long road trips. Im can't get stuck on the side of the road with a flat, its not an option. And yes to the battery depletion. The spare tire kit and equipment all together easily weighs 100lbs.

    Nails and glass in the tread, nothing in the sidewall.

    Frequent Tire Punctures (4 in 7 months) Killing My Love For My Model X- Avg Every six weeks

    By punctures, I mean debris in the tires. It has been glass and nails. I have the 20's bc I thought I would have fewer issues with this size. Previous vehicle was a Yukon and the tires were much bigger

    Frequent Tire Punctures (4 in 7 months) Killing My Love For My Model X- Avg Every six weeks

    I am having very frequent tire punctures and tire issues in general. It has gotten to the point that it is really ruining the experience of owning this vehicle. I have had 4 tire punctures since April. I am averaging a tire puncture about every 6 weeks. My wife and I can't remember the last time...

    Front Wheel or Rear Wheel, how to tell the difference?

    Ok Im an idiot, I found it. 265, written in big letters right on the side of the tire. So that confirms this is a front wheel. Is this safe to use as a spare even on the rear? Thanks!!!

    Front Wheel or Rear Wheel, how to tell the difference?

    Correct! So what I am asking is how to confirm that my spare is a front wheel? I had a tire put onto one of my OEM wheels after I bought after market wheels. I think I had them put a tire on one of the front OEM wheels but I don't remember. So what I am asking is how do I confirm that my spare...

    Front Wheel or Rear Wheel, how to tell the difference?

    Hello Everyone. I have kind of a stupid question. I was curious, on the factory 20' model X wheels how can I tell the difference between the front and rear wheel if they are off the vehicle. The reason I ask is because I removed all my wheels and replaced them with TSportline wheels. I took one...

    20” TST Sportline Range Impact and Review

    i was just curious if any TMC members have purchased the 20” TST wheels from TSportline. What has the impact on range been? Any noticeable difference in performance? What is your overall opinion of the wheel? I’m mostly interested in hearing about the impact on range. I really like the 22”s from...

    Thank you for all the great suggestions. I think preapproval is a great suggestion. Thank you BrokerDon.

    Pic Request: Model X Midnight Silver w/TSportline TST 20" Wheels in Matte Black or Metallic Grey

    I have place an order for a Model X 100D and I am struggling on a wheel decision. I really like the look of Tesla's 22" wheels but due to the noise and the range reduction I am sticking with 20" wheels. I was thinking of buying the TST wheels from TSportline that are basically a 20" version of...

    Please Critique my MX100D Quote, Thanks!

    I spoke with the sales advisor today who got confirmation that they are adding it to the vehicle for me for free :) I spoke with my SA today who told me it had a build date of 9/17. It has 2.5 hardware but no tow package, fortunately they have agreed to put it on for free.

    Please Critique my MX100D Quote, Thanks!

    It is $125K before the discount. So $115K after discount and then subtract another $2K to downgrade the wheels, so $113,250 BEFORE the $7500 tax credit.

    Where are all the inventory Model X's?

    I just put an inventory vehicle on hold after looking for about 6 weeks. My sales advisor said that the inventory vehicles aren't lasting long bc the only way to guarantee the $7500 tax credit at this point is to take possession before Jan 1 2018. That means an inventory vehicle is the only...
