    Model X Refresh Front Door Closing More Difficult

    That's a good video. I have the same thing. Went from a 2017 X to the 2022 X and thought the doors were not working properly, but Tesla service made it sound normal. Not a great design.

    Active road noise reduction - temporarily unavailable

    Update: It's finally working well for me. Model X refresh. It's interesting as it seems to calibrate every time you get in the car. It can take anywhere from 20 sec to 2 mins. It does seem to make a difference. The other day, I felt like the road noise was greater than usual so I checked...

    2021/2022 Aftermarket hitch option - Draw-Tite Class III

    Can you post a photo of the final trim? I'm going to have my hitch installed on Tues and am wondering how to cut the trim and have access to the wiring.

    2021/2022 Aftermarket hitch option - Draw-Tite Class III

    They replied saying they cannot confirm that it fits on the 2022. Looks like we’ll have to wait for someone to be the guinea pig.

    Concealed Radar Detector - location ideas for control/display unit?

    I am willing to cut into the dash but thought that spot had a small isolated piece that could be easily replaceable in case it got messed up. I now realize that it’s a single piece that goes across to the passenger side. So it’s not a good option. Also, the angle of the dash piece is slanted...

    Concealed Radar Detector - location ideas for control/display unit?

    Anyone have a concealed radar detector in their X? I'm considering the Radenso RC M. In my last 2017 X, I ran a Uniden r7 with a blend mount and it was clean, but I'm hoping to keep my new 2022 X for a while so I'd like to do a concealed install. I'm wondering if there's any space behind...

    I had the same message then one day it switched on. The funny thing is that when I checked the same screen again the other day, it didn't say anything about the status.

    Anyone have a solution for uncomfortable front Seat?

    I have the same problem with my 2017 X being uncomfortable but I’ll happy to say the 2022 Refresh seat is much better! It seems to have less bottom seat side bolster which is good.

    Recommendation for interior pass through ski bags between MX 6 seater captain seats

    I use my Dakine ski bag for flying as my car bag. It can fit 2 pairs of skis, maybe even all 4. Works perfect. https://www.dakine.com/products/fall-line-ski-roller-bag?variant=32882089558096&gclid=Cj0KCQiA2sqOBhCGARIsAPuPK0jakAaRjvTOBkDImRwjKm4Mr0Q6OfvCu-ut_3-fho86dmVVJrABHTsaAq_pEALw_wcB

    2021/2022 Aftermarket hitch option - Draw-Tite Class III

    Does anyone know if the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" Item # 76143 is compatible with the new X refresh? I sent an email to etrailer and drawtite but I wouldn't be surprised if they don't know the answer yet since it's so new.

    Thanks! I didn’t have any issue with the yoke blocking the screen. Photo makes it look worse than it is. Yoke is heated!! It’s gets super hot at first then cools down a lot. I’m assuming it’s programmed that way. To engage AP, you double press the right scroll wheel. I’m disappointed by how...

    2021/2022 Aftermarket hitch option - Draw-Tite Class III

    I did that on my 2017 X, and just got my refresh X and will likely do the same. I recall the tongue weight being much higher on the aftermarket hitch. What a waste of money but I'll cost more if I drop 4 bikes on the highway.

    Refreshed 2021/2022 Model X Owners Thread

    Just got my refresh X LR today, what does the heated windshield cover? Just the area under the wipers? I didn't look carefully but I didn't see any heater lines. Also, I didn't see an option for ANC under the sound setting menu, do we not get it?

    Anyone have a solution for uncomfortable front Seat?

    I have the same seat discomfort on my 2017 X. I found a custom car leather shop that was willing to remove some of the side bolster but I never went through with it. You might be able to find a shop that would be willing to do the same.

    Model X Trailer Hitch Ratings

    Ohmman - I have the Tesla hitch installed but due to the 120lbs limit for bikes, I'm going to install the Draw-tite. Do you think 200 lbs of bikes with the rack will be ok? My assumption is that the removable hitch is the limiting factor.

    Dashcam Aftermarket vs. built In

    That's a good question. I bought a 2 camera 4K dashcam with battery backup but haven't got around to installing it yet. I also wonder if it's worth the effort. A couple big advantages of aftermarket is higher resolution and the ability to capture someone bumping your car while you are parked...

    Aftermarket Subwoofer for non-hifi sound system

    @mkhalasi85 So I'm going the same route as you. Just ordered the Kicker Hideaway underseat sub (just one unit) along with the Kicker Key Amp/DSP and some Focal speakers for the front. Install in two weeks. Think one unit is enough?

    Model X base audio upgrade - Focal ES165KX2

    Thanks for sharing your setup. I've been thinking about an audio upgrade for months but haven't due to cost. Frankly, I didn't think a speaker upgrade would make a big difference without adding an amp and DSP. You mentioned that your installer spent a lot of time on the crossovers, are you...

    SeaSucker Monkey Bars (roof bars)

    Oooh - I'd love to see someone give these a try. I hate going to Ikea and having to take a second trip after dropping off the kids. Do you think you could carry a bunch of flat boxes on top? I'm not worried about accidentally opening the FWD, but any issue with weight?

    Mount works well. Only issue is that the ipad sits a few inches from my head so if we got into an accident, it could be an issue. I bought 2 cheap bluetooth headsets ($16 each) and a bluetooth adapter that allows the ipad to stream to 2 BT headsets simultaneously. Headphones...

    Trailer vs. Bike Carrier

    Great timing of this post. I've been using my Kuat NV 2 bike rack and just bought the +2 bike addon which allows me to have 4 bikes on the back. Problem is the rack is 80 lbs and 4 bikes close are nearly 120 lbs for a total of 200 lbs. Is it nuts to push it that far? How much do you think we...

    Model X Audio

    I've been doing a lot of reading as I plan my audio system upgrade and there might be an way to get true lossless audio to the system. If you add a DSP like the Audison BitOne, you can add an digital AUX input. I thought about doing this but since I use Pandora and Apple Music, I don't think...

    EVWheelsDirect vs TSportLine 20"

    You guys are probably right but the final factor that swayed me to TSportLine are the wheel widths. For the factory tires, 8.5" seemed a bit narrow, especially for the rears.
