Thanks...yea I feel lucky. Should have played the lottery that day I guess :)!

No amount of PPF can protect you from a small chunk of road debris flying into your car at 100+MPH. It bounced off...but cut the hood all the way inside. The dash cam footage was too blurry to pinpoint what it was exactly, all I know it came from a semi going in the opposite direction on a...

I've been getting the USB malfunction error for a while now, regardless of whether the USB stick was plugged in directly or via hub. Finally scheduled a Service appointment. Got a call from the Service Center and apparently Tesla has identified this as a known issue and there is an "internal...

I'm in the same pickle. I love the stormtrooper look, but I'm also trying to not throw money away...chrome delete $2k, powder coating of stock wheels another grand. But it would look sooo cool. It's Christmas, I've been a mostly good boy this year :)

I have these all-weather mats by ToughPro from Amazon. I have a 7-seater but they make them in all configurations. They are actually really well designed mats with the hex pattern to keep any liquid or sand contained. We've had them on our 2018 Model X, Model 3 and now the 2021 Model X - and...

Just traded in my 2018 75D Model X for the 2021 Long Range + version and on the drive home noticed a slight whistling noise coming from the front window area. Mobile Service came over yesterday, he drove it around and in an instant told me that it's a "known" issue - at least for the service...

I too just picked up 2020 model X after upgrading from 2018 and found the redesign a bit puzzling. I liked the moveable headrest especially since I share the car with my wife: I’m 6’1” she’s 5’6” so having different seat profiles was great. Also the new design doesn’t allow for the behind the...

Agreed. Not just schools but pretty much any parking lot. In the past I’ve stalked oblivious pedestrians in Target or mall parking lots not wanting to startle them with a honk....at least now they turn around and move over. The requirement for the pedestrian warning system was put in for a...

When it was brand new, the 100% charge was 220 and 90% was 196.

I'm in Southern California. The valley.

D'oh! Yea..people would like to know that. Asking $65k

Hoping to sell my beloved Model X - in fantastic condition - 7-seat configuration, tow-hitch, FSD with newly upgraded computer, brand new set of tires on all 4 wheels, premium carbon-fiber interior. Since working 100% remotely I don't drive it almost at all - and we're trying to consolidate...

Hi gang...so I had a senior moment yesterday (loud music, yelling at kids, Joe Mode on) and scratched the hell out of my spoiler on the Model X while parking in the garage. Yes...I'm an idiot. Be that as it may...I'm trying to figure out if this would be a "body shop" work or Tesla Service...

I changed the struts and the tension spring - can close it now with one hand. Before it was a constant battle.

I bought the Thule hitch mounted swingable rack (Thule 9031XT Vertex Swing Away 4 Hitch Mount Bike Carrier) on Amazon for about $500. A Tesla branded rack sold on Tesla website is also a Thule, but you don't pay for branding. It is hitch mounted and also swings away if you need to back into a...

I also just noticed that my phone autocorrected "frunk" for "drunk" - I swear I wasn't drunk when I wrote this :)

I have both the 3 and the X, and in my 3 I replaced the drunk struts with the stronger ones that open the drink fully when opening via remote. I know what the OP is asking - I have been trying to do the same thing to my X. All searches come up with nothing specific for the X. Besides just trial...

Mine wouldn't close and I had Tesla "fix" it 3 times. It would close but after about 2-3 weeks the latch would continue to stick out. Finally when I took it to the SC, they shaved off a little tiny bit of plastic on the hinge and apparently that fixed it permanently. I've heard it's a known...

When in doubt.....lube!! Seems like lube (WD40) and duct tape solve about 99% of world’s problems. For the rest, there’s alcohol! :)

Yes! Exactly the same problem. The passenger side rubs and squeaks. I brought it to the attention of my service advisor. He actually admitted that this VIN series has this issue (March 2018 delivery) and that at some point in time they will have a fix. That fix will most likely be a new seat...

I hear u brother! Had to leave Tesla behind for some service work for about a week and they had no Trsla loaners. We got a Jaguar instead. A few years ago I would be thrilled to get a really awesome loaded Jag as a loaner - now it was like going back in time to a horseless carriage times. You...

One fender bender and they’re toast!

As a legitimate 007 nerd that I am, I named my red MX Moneypenny and my blue TM3 Vesper. 'cause why not?

I experienced it two days ago. A friend wanted to see it and at the exact time FWD started to open it would shut down with a obstacle detected ding. I read somewhere that people had issues when car was parked at an incline - that wasn't the case with me. I just reset the MCU and re-ran the light...

OP here. First of all - thanks to everyone who chimed in - your posts definitely helped in resetting my expectations and adjusting my Vegas comeback planning. Left Sin City with about 80%...enough to get me to Yermo at about 10% - provided I drove like my mom (65 MPH). I don't think so. Baker...

I was really looking forward to taking our first trip in the Model X. Not a huge trip - easy LA - Las Vegas jaunt...here are some of my "deep thoughts" from our first multi-stop trip. In the past my door-to-door from the burbs of LA to Vegas took about 3.5 hours. That's usually with a quick pit...

I guess if you’re insecure about your masculinity, driving a Hummer won’t help.

Apparently that’s coming according to Elon’s tweet today. One down...hundreds to go :)

Aren't we a bit pretentious? What's next? Pictures of whose d*ck is bigger?

So...are our wishes going to disappear like letters to Santa at Christmas...I mean, it's great to come up with all these features but in the end it may just be just that....wishful thinking. What are the odds that someone at Tesla actually reads these forums and takes input from the community?

...and Spotify instead of Slacker ;)

Ability to train/adjust autopilot to hug left or right side of the lane to give the lane splitting motorcycle more room and give me less heart attacks every time they zoom by 6 inches from my car.

Your dime man. I think if anything else this isn't haggling but taking an opportunity of Tesla's rather generous policies to match prices, and that includes trade ins when you buy a new vehicle. They'll match CarMax or best offer.

Yea - it’s not like there are many configuration options.

Placed the order yesterday. Got a confirmation from the DS it will be ready for delivery on August 4. Less than 2 weeks. So either they’re sitting on a bunch of preconfigured models or that production really did ramp up!! A blue Model 3 will look really nice next to my red/white Model X...

Yea? I have 20" Continentals 265/45R20 108/V rated - I had to really dig to get $275 price online (out of state mind you).

Thought I share with the group my recent experience with a flat tire. Inevitably I got one on the ever-so-pristine freeways of Southern California (405 and 5 split precisely) - a bolt the size of a small child went through the tire deflating it in about 30 seconds I had to pull over. Called...

Judging by the number of people I saw today on the freeway staring at their phones and not paying attention, it is obviously clear that every car model now comes with a fully autonomous autopilot. The future is now!

I just noticed it yesterday when I started listening to Audible audio book. Every time I start it it fetches some obscurely random album art - it's actually quite amusing as frankly I don't care about album art - but when you're listening to music and songs - I'm sure it can be frustrating.

I had the exact same issue when I picked up my MX a few weeks back. I took it to the service center and they said they'll have to push firmware update to fix it...and with 2018.14.2 which I got on Saturday, it was. I can now reboot the MCU with scroll wheels and wifi is much better. The thing...

Sure...blame it on the wife :)

Spoke to the service center. I'm going to have to bring the car in for them to take a look at the issue. My wifi eventually connected and received its first update...but the reboot function, not to mention summon and other little things like Slacker login still don't work. On top of that I had a...

Oh goody! I’m not the only one then. Picked up my MX 2 weeks ago and right off the bat noticed that I couldn’t summon using the app. Won’t connect. I went to the Bible, ahem, this forum and learned to reboot. No go. And I couldn’t connect to WiFi to save my life. At some point in time WiFi...

Funny you should mention carpets. Now those do feel cheap. I'm pretty sure I'll wear out the driver side floor mat with my heel in 6 months. I removed them to vacuum and was surprised at how flimsy and thin they felt. Overall the carpet surface on the back of the seats and in the cargo hold is...

First World Problems ;) I just picked up my MX 7-seater on Wednesday...didn't see them beforehand...just need 7 for family visits. I personally don't think they're cheap looking - the materials are still the same. Yes - it's a manual process to bring them forward to let people to the 3rd row...

I picked up my MX on Wednesday, but because of non-stop rains in SoCal I didn’t get to play with the new toy until today. Tried to connect to WiFi - no go. Tried every band, password, AP - nothing. Tried rebooting Tesla - also nothing. Connectivity to the App works but Summon feature didn’t...

Yes. That’s what I thought too. Looks like LA car show - holds at least 30/40 cars.

And here she is ladies and gentlemen!! Meet Nikita - my mid-life crisis car. 75D 7-seater - so still a little practical. Just took possession today at the Marina Del Rey location. Actually there were a lot of people there today picking up their Model 3s. I'm happy to say that mine was the only...

Mine went into production on 3/9/18 - finished on 3/18/20. No delays that I was aware of. Still on for tomorrow pickup. Yay!

Just plopped my downpayment - picking up in Marina on Wednesday. I should probably take a few days off from work to properly break in the new toy, ahem, car.
