    Direct sales under threat

    Legacy auto dealers lobby is pushing to overturn the ability of manufacturers to sell vehicles directly to customers. If these bills are successful, Tesla will be impacted big time. I don't want to go to GA to pick up my Cybrtk. Read the attached Teslarati article and mobilize all FL members to...

    Discussion: Model Y General Waiting room for orders placed After January 2023

    How far are you from the nearest SC? Mine is 65 miles away. I'm hoping I get the home delivery option or, it's a $200 Uber ride. Ordered mine 1/14, no VIN yet.

    Acknowledging SpaceX

    The shopping site is wish.com It sells lots of stuff directly from China. Takes about a month to receive, cheap prices but heavy on shipping. They didn't offer the badge in black when I bought mine a few months ago, but they do now.

    Acknowledging SpaceX

    If you pilot a white MX, like me, you may feel a certain attachment to SpaceX when you see them ferry their astronauts out to the launch pad in 'our car'. When I saw their logo on Wish, just had to add it to my X. Hadn't been a big space buff, but seeing what Elon has done with this company in...

    Screens go dark again

    Have your SC do a diagnostic to see if it's the MCU and by all means have it replaced before being out of warranty. Would like to know if this is unique to MX or MS as well. Let us know how you make out.

    Screens go dark again

    Happened to me three times during a 1,000 mile trip in my 9-19 MX. Have not had any recent software updates, but visited 5 superchargers during the trip. Don't think that had anything to do with it, since it didn't happen in the other direction. First time was very scary at 70 MPH on I-95.

    A mind of its own?

    Good point. Have phone in pocket, although app is not activated. Will keep it away and see if X stays asleep.

    A mind of its own?

    MX parked in garage, not plugged in, 80% charged, sentry mode off. Frequently, head and tail lights will go on for 30 seconds or so and go go off. Now, in addition to that, driver's door opens and closes by itself and mirrors fold in. Also hearing what sounds like the A/C system coming on. I'm...

    Are rear Falcon door alignments covered under warranty?

    Have yet to see an MX without misaligned FWD or body panels. My major complaint upon delivery last Sept. Since the doors so complicated and aren't rubbing anything, I'll live with it. My brother in law's MS has similar door alignment issues. Seems to be Tesla's signature issue. Still love the...

    Falcon wing door buckled on glass roof

    Hope that's not something I have to look forward to in four years., i.e. did it take that long for the FWD to work their way out of alignment? I'm sure it wasn't the first time in it's history both doors were opened together. Just bought mine in '19, so far no issues with them, but i read the...

    Front door seals came off

    MX is four months old and leading edge rubber seals on both front doors have come off. Since I'm 70 miles from nearest SC, I'l glue them back on if somebody can recommend the proper adhesive. Very little residue on mine, indicating Fremont did not apply sufficiently. Difficult to access the...

    2020 Model X center console

    I installed one like that. It's a pain to open. It's a snug fit and finger hole is too small. Suggest the version with a pull knob.

    Frunk auto open

    Reinstalled the OEM struts and spring thinking that was the problem. No change. There's another thread on here that identifies a defective actuator. Since mine opens with fob, that's not the problem. Will have to bring it to SC or call mobile service after the holidays.

    Frunk auto open

    I put the OEM spring back, no change, ditto struts, no change. Something else is going on, although it started with the initial swap. I'll call service center for advice. Lost a screwdriver down in the bowels. Thanks for your feedback.

    Frunk auto open

    Here's the link to Brian's video. The swap took all of seven minutes. I just have to figure out why it's not being activated by the touch screen. The replacement latch spring has far less tension (makes it easy to close, now) I'm thinking that's the problem. I sent a note to Brian. Have not...

    Frunk auto open

    I did the mod suggested by Brian Jenkins on Teslarati, i.e. swap frunk hood pistons and latch spring. It took all of seven minutes to complete, very easy. Problem, frunk will not open from touch screen, but will with fob. Since this is a simple mechanical component swap, that glitch doesn't make...

    WIFI connected but, will not download

    Screen says update 2019.36.2.2 is available and to connect to a WIFI network, which I am. Did the hard re-boot (power off for 2.5 min), same message. Good suggestion to call Tesla National, although, my SC, after a 15 min hold, walked me through a hard re=boot when MX was stuck in P. Funny thing...

    WIFI connected but, will not download

    Update 2019.36.2.2 has been available since we got to FL over two weeks ago. MX is parked 20' straight line view of router in garage with full strength WIFI and green check mark next to connected network. The update will just not download. Before I call SC and go into a holding pattern, I was...

    Regen braking dramatically reduced.

    I also thought the regen braking was severely reduced with a recent uodate, until it got really cold. Took MX out this a.m. at 27 degrees, no regen whatsoever. Had to use brakes all the time. Battery was at 60%. If this is normal for a cold battery, I can expect no regen braking for the next...

    What would make you buy a non Tesla electric vehicle?

    Based on Tesla's charging network alone, I wouldn't buy the competition. Sure, I'm not pleased with the overall fit and finish for a vehicle at this price point, but they (currently) have them all beat on technology and range, not to mention the fun factor. Have had my MX for a month and still...

    Model X run wires thru firewall problem

    I want to add a front license plate camera to watch parking obstacles, so I need to know this as well. I haven't looked yet, but pull the carpet away from beneath steering column. This is where I found most firewall penetrations on my last car.

    Paint finish protector suggestions

    Drive it from the dealer to your nearest, experienced detailer who specializes in clear paint protection film. Had mine done two days after delivery, best money I've spent. Can't see it but you know it's there. You know the blunt nose on MX will take a beating on an Interstate trip and there are...

    wrapping for MX how necessary

    Auto Super Shield will probably do your headlights as part of the front end. Signature Detailing in NJ did mine and I can't tell. Love bugs are now in season in FL and making quite a mess per my neighbor.

    Battery drain while parked or car in storage

    Can I assume that by keeping it plugged in while away for months, the 12 v battery charge is maintained?

    My MX was built first week last month. You say I have hidden pedestrian speakers? Are these 2020 mandatory warning sounds retroactive?

    wrapping for MX how necessary

    Correct, 3k + tax for everything but the hatch and rear fenders. Suggest anybody get theirs done before paint chips start happening to that rather blunt front end. Have not tried to key my own car, but before Signature Detailing did the wrap, he handed me piece of the material to hold while he...

    wrapping for MX how necessary

    Also took delivery of white MX three weeks ago and am also driving 1k mi down I-95 FL next month. Day three after pick up, before too many bugs sacrificed themselves, I ran MX right down to Signature Detailing in Hillsboro to get the SunTek PPX clear bra. Initially, I was just going to do the...

    Help! Credit card slid behind center console

    Same thing happened to me, only it was the local electrical inspector's sign off certificate for my wall connector. Searched you tube, could not find our console. Started to remove entire console by removing the two bolts under the rubber mat. Was still held in securely in the rear which I could...

    Sentry continues to record at home

    Despite having the do not record at home, work or favorites boxes checked, Sentry stuffs my USB drive with everything that happens around MX at home all day. Brother in law has the same problem with his MS. Anybody else experience this or have any suggestions? I really don't need to see myself...

    Stop the beep

    You're correct. Don't know why I didn't pick that up in the owner's manual. thanks for the tip.

    Stop the beep

    Excellent point. As a new owner, getting used to these high tech features (not using the fob) is a learning curve. When you get used to, and trust it, 'Walkaway' is the obvious choice.

    Stop the beep

    Picked up my MX LR FSD two days ago. Cannot find a way to stop the horn from beeping when using fob to lock / unlock. Very annoying, not going to go over well with neighbors when I leave early or get in late. Any suggestions would be appreciated. My brother in law's '18 MS doesn't do this. thanks

    Model X Timeline - From Prototype to Production

    OK, the last six of my VIN look like 193xxx. Sticker says it was built this month, or, last week. Very surprised it's arriving so soon. SA advised me that they go over it very carefully and resolve any issues that slipped by Fremont QC. Not taking any chances, will bring the delivery checklist...

    Model X Timeline - From Prototype to Production

    Just got a text. My MX LR FSD white / cream 5 seat, will be ready for pick up 9/13 or three weeks + four days, post order. Was expecting early October based on some OP experience. SA e-mailed me the window sticker which shows the VIN. Given it'll be Friday the 13th, I'm hoping to not find many...

    Model X: Delivery Frustrations

    This is downright scarey. I ordered MX LR FSD white / cream, three weeks ago. Now thinking about cancelling even before getting a VIN. To be expected to drive a 90k car off the lot in that condition is totally absurd. I've never had a great experience with dealers anyway, but that was with cars...
