I have a 2022 MX Plaid and am having the same issue at Superchargers. I’m on a road trip. The first couple of stops at Superchargers were fine, then on subsequent Supercharger stops, I’m only able to get about 30 to 40 seconds of charging (roughly 1kwh onboarded) before charging stops and the...

Having made the move from a pre-Raven 2019 Model X P100D (read, no adaptive air suspension) w/ 22” wheels to a 2022 Model X Plaid w/ 22” wheels, the ride quality in my Plaid is noticeably better than the ride quality in my P100D. Tighter, smoother, and way more refined. I couldn’t be happier.

Well, then it’s good you you don’t have to live with the look of the ‘cheap’ gray plastic (in whatever you’re driving). I own and am living with this car as part of my daily life and nothing about the interior feels cheap to me. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion I guess 👍🏼

No. They’re pretty dim though.

I do have full 60 with 48 out to car. The purchase of my old 2019 MX P100D coincided with a home remodel I was in the middle of, so I planned for the charger (at full power on a dedicated run) from the start. Regarding charging speed, there are a variety of factors that come into play. Power...

The car is happiest when plugged in. I leave mine plugged in whenever its Parked (unless I am out and about hopping around doing errands). To the question about charging “speed”, the Tesla wall charger in my garage charged my previous Model X (2019 P100D) at a consistent rate of 30MPH. Due to...

They modified the ambient lights -- at least compared to my legacy 2019 MX P100D. They're more tastefully done, but understated compared to competitors with all the Vegas nighttime bling. You can't change the colors... they're just white (and I happen to love them). Here's a few pics of the...

More pics of my 2022 Model X Plaid. Have had the car three weeks as of today, and have driven 1000 miles (received the car with 16 miles on the odo.) Fall deeper in love every day 🥰

There is no red caliper option. I sort of miss the look too (compared to my P100D), but am growing to love the black calipers 🥰 This car is awesome. Tesla tweaked absolutely everything on the interior. They really sorted it out. Such a great place to be -- especially on longer road trips.

Ride height was set to low in all pics I posted above.

I'm commando up front too. Never installed the front plate on my 2019 MX P100D either. I know it's a gamble. Hadn't heard of Snapplate, so thanks for the tip 👍🏼

I live in San Francisco and respectfully disagree. Are there homeless? Yes. Drug users, yep. Crime? Unfortunately, yes. Dense population makes those things more prevalent. Same stuff you'd find in any major city. However, to paint an entire city with these observations is misleading, and...

Yep. That was my experience. A little over $12K in CA taxes and fees on my MX Plaid.

Gonna have to agree with that wholeheartedly! Great TexMex in Texas. Even the so-so TexMex (Uncle Julio’s) was good! I do miss that about living in Texas. I lived in the Turtle Creek area of Dallas, and would have to sneak over to Uncle Julio’s in Oaklawn because my co-workers (indigenous...

I'm a California native -- born and raised. Born in SoCal (Los Angeles) and ultimately found my way to San Francisco. When I lived in LA, I got a promotion which required me to move to Texas (Dallas) to work at the corporate headquarters of the company I worked for at the time. Dallas was OK...

I've only ever had the 22's (2019 MX P100D and 2022 MX Plaid) and have never had an issue. In the three years I owned the 2019, I only changed the rear tires once... fronts were original / factory when I sold it, and I put nearly 40K miles on the car in that three year period , having driven in...

Congratulations 🎉 Looks like you spec'd yours with the 22"s; I did same, and received a word of caution from my Delivery Specialist on those slugs that insert into the wheels. Thought you might find a previous post I made on the matter helpful: #16,434 ...and this one regarding the...

My Model X Plaid came equipped with the "foam lined" version of this tire: https://www.continental-tires.com/car/tires/sportcontact-6

My comparison has been between my previous early pre-Raven 2019 MX P100D, and my new 2022 MX Plaid. Both equipped with the 22" wheels and summer / sport tires. Coming from the pre-Raven 2019 model, I can say DEFINITIVELY that cabin noise has improved significantly; especially at highway...

Yeah, there's no rhyme or reason to it (at least on the surface). Tesla must have very good reasons they're handling deliveries they have been. The problem is they're not "sharing" their rationale with any of us -- or, by the look of things, their customer-facing staff, so their staff appear...

Not sure about 2021, but my early 2019 MX P100D did have the extra adapter. I wish I'd have kept the one in my mobile charging kit I surrendered with my 2019 when I picked up my Plaid. Bought a new one though ~$40 so I'm whole again.

Thanks for the info! I've been driving so slowly I feel like I'm going to fall over sideways from lack of momentum haha! But the 100 mile info helps -- although I have close to 400 miles on my new Plaid, I only requested the beta 71 miles ago. Maybe I'll get up early tomorrow to do a ~30 mile...

My understanding is that Plaid gets different motors than LR. Tesla specifically calls them "...high performance motors with carbon-sleeved rotors." This was the breakthrough Musk spoke about during his presentation at the Plaid S delivery event in Fremont. The carbon-sleeved rotors are what...

I'm in a similar situation. Took delivery of my 2022 Model X Plaid about a week ago. Have ~400 miles on the odometer. Safety Score is at 99. Wondering if I'm going to qualify for access to FSD beta. Is there a minimum number of miles required at a given Safety Score to qualify for the download?

I've activated this in my Model X Plaid, and do perceive a subtle difference when driving at highway speeds I traded my 2019 MX P100D w 22" wheels / summer performance tires for my current 2022 MX Plaid w 22" wheels / summer performance tires. Comparitively speaking, the new Model X is WAY...

Good plan. I didn't keep my adapter (bought a new one and it arrived pretty quickly -- see post #16,836 ) but I *did* keep my sun shades from my 2019 MX P100D. The car used to come standard with a deployable shade that would cover the upper 1/2 of the windshield, and two smaller shades that...

I warned folks about that earlier this week in post#16,836 #16,836

And, don't forget about Easy Entry. I have mine set to raise the seat, slide it back, and to raise the steering yoke up and out of the way. When I put the car in park and unfasten my seatbelt, the Easy Entry profile takes over, and changes the seat and yoke position making it easier to get...

You're gonna want to keep the new MX and sell the CPO. Trust me. It's that good.

Yes! I can attest to the speed at Superchargers in the refreshed MX. As many of you know, I owned a 2019 MX P100D before my MX Plaid, and I drive frequently between San Francisco and Southern California. Over the recent holidays (before I took delivery of my MX Plaid), my P100D was in for...

Sleeping in the back of the six seat config isn’t really possible. The “idea” of camping in a car — especially a Tesla that’ll pamper you wrt air comfort, entertainment, etc. — seems practical / fun, but I can’t imagine it’d be a comfortable endeavor. I have seen the mattresses, and other kit...

I don't think *any* of that is nit-picky. They need to take care of everything. All except the gloss trim looks easily fixable. Not sure what they'd have to do to get the glossy trim right. Looks like something smashed into it. That sucks.

Someone here hundreds of pages back asked about the ambient lighting in the refreshed Model X. I took one from the outside (with FWD open and am using that as my avatar here) but neglected to get an inside shot. I snapped a an inside pic in my MX Plaid this evening when getting back from an...

Aaannnd... I should have read this first haha! Posted nearly the same thing long after you. It was a brilliant episode though. Loved it!

The old Top Gear team did a wonderful tribute to French automotive endeavors recently on Amazon Prime -- part of their "Grand Tour" series. Really worth a watch if you haven't seen it yet. They dove into the brilliance (and folly) of Citroen in particular.

Model X has always been the pig of the group (love my piggy though!). Here's Tesla's chart using their Wall Charger as reference...

Interesting. Before taking delivery of my 2022 Model X Plaid (with white seats / black piping), I rented a 2021 Refreshed Model X Long Range over the Christmas / New Year's holiday -- had it for 11 days. Drove it from San Francisco to Palm Springs and back, so had LOTS of time in the car. It...

And let's not forget these three motors feature their new high-pressure carbon-sleeved rotors. Motivation for the Plaid is a technical tour de force.

One more minor thing to add to the list differentiating the Plaid from the LR would be the subtleties in seat design. My Plaid MX has black piping on light colored seats. I believe the LR MX doesn't.

That's definitely a Model S in the video. And also note, there are never three seats in the third row of an X -- always two. Five seaters have a three-seat bench in the middle row and no third row seats. Six seaters have two captains seats in the middle row, and two fold-down third-row seats...

I have a Tesla Wall Charger installed in my garage and have noticed a slight increase in charging speed vs. my 2019 MX P100D. The old X, reliably charged at ~30mph using this wall charger. My 2022 MX Plaid charges at ~34mph using the same charger.

The delivery checklist and this list of issues was VERY helpful for me when I picked up my MX Plaid a week ago. I'm happy to say none of the documented issues people have run into are visible / evident on my car. I picked it up with just 16 miles on the odometer and have now driven nearly 400...

The cornering lights (activated when directional are used) are not new. My 2019 MX did that too. Regarding the yoke… it’s brilliant (as are the directionals) especially when on autopilot. You’ll get used to the controls quickly.

So given the education subthread going here, I read this and laughed out loud! Haha!

The six-seater is really cool, but I understand it's not for everyone. Having said that, It's more versatile than people give it credit for. For what it's worth, my Model X Plaid is my second six-seat Model X. My first was a 2019 P100D, which I unloaded for my 2022. This configuration has...

D'oh! Fired off an opinion before reading this. Won't take it further... just wanted to put those thoughts out there 👍🏼🙈

Exactly. IMHO I think people who look at raw "Android" vs "iPhone" numbers are being too pedantic. Yes, Android handsets outnumber iPhones, but the reality is Apple plays in the premium space, and the majority of Android devices sold are probably not in that strata given all the...

Dometic. Great brand. See my other post up-thread. The beauty of placing it in the empty spot in the six seat config is access. Everyone in the car has access without having to pull over to open the trunk or frunk to get something out of the fridge / freezer.

Dometic. They specialize in coolers and fridges for boats and RVs. The pics I included earlier (including them again here at full res) were taken in my 2019 MX P100D. I got the Dometic CFX3 35 powered cooler, and used the included DC cable to plug it into the DC port in the trunk area of my...
