I had very easy to work with SA. Just was very firm in my insistence that the struts had been damaged during my 20 mile drive to the SC as I had been instructed to do by them. Since that episode though I have had multiple other issues with my MX. So far with 3 1/2 years and 40 K miles I have...

Had the dreaded shudder fixed on my 2018 100D MX in August 2019 at about 13,00 miles. Shudder was totally gone at all height settings on acceleration. I've continued to keep it in low setting because the car suspension settings automatically puts it there. I recently changed it to Standard...

I used to use Ultima Tire & Trim Guard for the trim before painting it. Lasts a few months. Here is a link to it on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Ultima-Lasting-Protectant-Sealant-Applicator/dp/B003BV4PS8

I ended up paying $3750 for it. Done by Sarkis Motors in Huntington Beach. (Sako is the one to contact there. Very easy to work with) I think it is a fair price considering all the labor involved in removing, sanding down the pieces to get rid of the texture, painting and reattaching them. PM...

I know this has been covered before. Finally ended up getting the black plastic trim around the wheel wells, lower door, front and rear bumpers painted body color (Midnight Silver). Not for everyone I know, but I like the look. Here are some pics.

Had the air suspension compressor changed last year and after that the clevis mount for the front end shudder which solved that problem, but was feeling every bump in the road. After a long back and forth with my SC (months) they finally changed out my front air shock units under warranty. Drive...

Have had the yellow border on my MX (6/18 build) for several months now. Hasn’t really bothered me much till yesterday when I tried using the entertainment feature from version 10. Netflix , You Tube, and Hulu all work well except when I tried to exit the screen. Unfortunately the “X” to turn...

Had my clevis mount and front axles both replaced about 2000 miles ago as well. I am wondering if running the suspension in very low vs low is better for preventing the shudder from recurring. I know that the ride quality is softer because of less air.

Had my suspension fixed a month ago with updated clevis mount and half axles. 1000 miles later with no shudder. So far, so good.

Taking my MX in to fix the "Shudder" on 7/31( 100D delivered 6/18, 13 K miles). Had air suspension compressor randomly fail at 12K miles and replaced last month. Noticed acceleration shudder and high speed shimmy after that. Had alignment checked, wheels and tires checked, road force...

Drove to Mammoth (a little over 300 miles) and warning has continued to be on for the past few days, I took out the flash drive and shut off sentry mode because I read on one forum that there may be an issue with sentry mode overloading it and causing the issue. Still there. Have an...

Been driving my MX since replacing air suspension compressor and have noticed a high speed shimmy above 50mph on smooth roads that wasn’t present before. Doesn't get worse at higher speeds. Took it to a local shop and had alignment checked ( OK), wheels checked (not bent), road force balanced...

Update on my Blindpoot warning message: (Running Firmware 20.4.3) Went away for 4 day weekend on July 4th (without my car) and got a call from mobile service tech who said that he was looking at my car remotely but couldn't pull up the warning message anymore. Got back 7/7 and test drove my car...

Just scheduled my mobile service for next week. No feedback yet on what is wrong. Only when I called the support people on the phone noted the blind spot alert on my logs

MX 100D (new 6/18) Had a new warning come on 2 days ago. "Blindspot Detection Limited (Camera visibility reduced)" When I engage autopilot the alert disappears but when I try to make a lane change another alert comes up " Auto Lane Change unavailable (Camera visibility reduced)". Cleaned all...

I was toggling between energy and miles on the display and it stayed on 100%/292 for 18 miles and when it went to 99% it dropped to 289 miles on the display.

Maybe someone canexplain to me what happened to me yesterday with my display and range. I have 2018 MX (delivered 6/18) with about 11K miles. I was planning on a road trip yesterday so I decide to charge to 100% at home right before leaving. Only charged to this level maybe 2 or 3 times...

Got a call from my SA and my X is ready. Had to replace Air compressor due to internal failure. Key fob with internal failure as well

Got a message from my SA. Waiting for a air compressor fuse kit. Should be in next week. We’ll see what happens

Didn't see your post before I went to SC today. My X ended up with the front of the car "slammed" since yesterday. Compressor still disabled. Pictures attached of before and after( need to focus on gap between fender and front wheel). Went in to the Buena Park SC and showed it to a SA (Tariq)...

New warning this AM when I got in my car. Looks like it is in jack mode too.

Just had this warning pop up on my screen today. 2018 MX 100D with about 10K miles since 6/18. Always driven in low setting. Has been driving perfect up till now. Today driving to work noticed that it wasn't as smooth riding on the freeways as before and I thought it may need a wheel...

Still for sale?

i was wondering if this has happened to anyone else. Was driving on freeway this morning and without warning the info screen in front of steering wheel went black for about 5 minutes then came back on. Touchscreen with nav stayed on. I continued to drive but turn signals didnt work. Radio...

Could you send me the info. TIA

To me the way your FWDs look would be unacceptable to me for a $100K car (even the right side). The car has been in production long enough for them to have worked out these fitment issues. Mine is back in the SC to get FWD fitment issues much less severe than yours corrected. I don't want...

Just took my car back in to Buena Park SC for repair of FWD. I'll see how long it takes this time. Seems like they are slammed with cars needing fixing after delivery. Don't know how they can be making money. I am curious what percentage of Teslas delivered don't need any fixing of factory...

I can't find the executive escatation form. Where is it on the "Tesla Account " page?

Thanks for the tips for the squeaking seals. Actually had some Gummi Pflege in my garage. Put it on the seals and it took care of it right away. Talked to my SA and explained the issues. Said he would get me right in and put my car to the head of the line. Seemed very willing make things...

Another thing I forgot to mention is that the Drivers door window squeaks when the door is closed (you know when the doors shuts the window automatically closes a little bit more) . Never did that before either. Is there an easy fix?I hate to report that to them and end up with more problems again.

Do yuou recommend taking it to Costa Mesa or back to Buena Park since they screwed up.

Does Buena Park SC have a bad reputation? I looked at the pics (Sorry they are not really clear), but the 50 % cf the driver side seal is tucked underneath the leading edge of the glass, which allows water to get inside the door channels (tested it out today at a car wash). Not just a cosmetic...

Got my X back after being in the SC from 7/18 till 8/10. (Way too long for what was fixed). Fixed the ding in the Rt FWD and also aligned the hood. Did not align the Driver FWD so that is still off. They replaced both FWD top glass because the seals did not align and leaked when I washed the...

Long Term Care of Your Tesla Battery: It’s Not Rocket Science (Maybe)

I probably do have some over the top anxiety about the battery charge issue, but like the engine is the life blood of an ICE car, the battery is the same for an EV. According to what I've read (I am not an engineer ) , for longevity of the battery the sweet spot for charge is between 50 and...

I ordered a tire repair kit from the online store right after I received my MX a month ago. Instead of a tire repair kit I received black wheel center caps and nut covers. I have emailed the online store 3 times without a response. Does anyone have a phone number for the online store?

Actually went over to SC and got one of the service tech helpers to supercharge my car before it heads to the body shop

So far very disappointed in Buena Park SC. My car has been sitting there for a week now waiting to get in to the body shop. Battery charge( not sure of percentage) has dropped from well over 200 miles to about 80 over 7 days. ( cabin overheat? It has been in 90s the last week) My Service adviser...

Let me clarify. When I was referring to the the person with two trim types I was referring to a person who said he had two types of of interior trim on his car. (not sure waht thread it was on the forums). One side was carbon fiber and the other wood. It was delivered to him that way. If thats...

I do love the way the car drives and other features but it is very hard to defend stuff like this happening.

Every other MX that I’ve looked at had the same type on both sides. either 2 piece or 1 piece. Another Tesla lack of quality control. Like the person who had 2 different types of trim in his car. :(

Only checked twice. Climate control is shut to off. I'm not sure what cabin overheat is. Is that something different? While it is service if it is there long enough will they make sure the batteries dont go to zero? :(

I just dropped my MX off at the Buena Park SC to have some work done to trim and alignment issues which were not addressed on delivery. I had roughly 200 miles range on battery when I left it there 3 days ago. I checked via my Tesla app this morning and it says charge level is down to 140 mile...

Took my car in to SC today to get all my issues taken care of. My service adviser wasn't even aware of the change in the trim. Maybe manufacturing or post production problems? He didn't know. Said he was going to have to check with the service techs about why change from one to two piece...

Been comparing my MX to others trying to compare build quality and found a design change from previous MX even 4 months ago. The front window chrome trim has been changed to 2 piece from 1 piece. Any idea why? The small piece is extremely wobbly on both driver and passnger sides. Uploading a...

On even closer inspection which I hadnt done, the chrome trim piece you can see pictured (as well the on other side) are not anchored securely to the vehicle. The robots must have been hung over when my car was built. I hate to keep looking . I keep finding more snd more flaws. Never had this...

Found another defect in the car which I fear will require a repaint of the left rear quarter panel. I have midnight silver, Looked at the paint in bright sunlight and l notuced obvious swirls in the metallic flakes in the color coat. Any suggestions?

Thanks to all for the advice and support. I will give you follow up once I have it back from the SC

I picked up my Tesla X 100D about 2 1/2 weeks ago and noticed a few issues with FWD seals, Hood misalignment, Ding in right FWD. Made an appointment for SC (Buena Park, CA) visit for about a week from now. Now that I have had more time with the car I noted that the Left FWD is misaligned (not...
