    2023 MX - Not a fan of walnut decor (interior trim) - Considering vinyl wrap (carbon fiber)

    @towndrunk. Well, that’s an interesting thought. I’m bringing the car in this Monday (the 8th) for a full XPEL stealth wrap (Colorado Detail in Denver). I’ll talk to the owner (Steve) and get his thoughts on the interchangeability of the trim pieces…

    2023 MX - Not a fan of walnut decor (interior trim) - Considering vinyl wrap (carbon fiber)

    That's a great suggestion @towndrunk (to swap parts). I live in Colorado (Denver area). If anyone is interested in swapping 2023 Walnut decor trim for CF, please reach out and let me know.

    2023 MX - Not a fan of walnut decor (interior trim) - Considering vinyl wrap (carbon fiber)

    Recently upgraded 2018 MX (Red, white seats with carbon fiber interior) to 2023 MX (Ultra red, white seats with walnut interior). I love the way my 2018 looked - awesome contrast between white and carbon fiber. Unfortunately, carbon fiber wasn't an option with long range, and while the walnut...

    WARNING!!! Screws holding jack pad to frame are ALL loose - jack pad may fall off car

    Yup - mentioned it to Tesla and they happily gave me 2 bolts (1 extra). I removed all the bolts and reinstalled with loctite - shouldn't have a problem from now on. The technician mentioned he'd never seen these screws backing out before which was a bit surprising. I figured it happened to me...

    WARNING!!! Screws holding jack pad to frame are ALL loose - jack pad may fall off car

    I created this thread on the MX forum, but I assume it would apply to MS as well. Might be worth a few minutes of your time to check these bolts using a 13mm socket wrench. WARNING!!! Screws holding jack pad to frame are ALL loose - jack pad may fall off car

    WARNING!!! Screws holding jack pad to frame are ALL loose - jack pad may fall off car

    I'm glad it helped! For those interested in checking (tightening) the bolts you will need a 13mm socket. Also, if any of you have had screws get stuck in your rear tires, these suckers could likely be the culprits...

    WARNING!!! Screws holding jack pad to frame are ALL loose - jack pad may fall off car

    This evening I was feeling obsessive and compulsive and bored - I jacked up my car for the first time to remove each wheel so that I could perform a thorough cleaning to the inner wheel barrel (wipe off all dirt, grime & brake dust). My intention was to use my jack pad adapters (which I...

    Tesla Model X Tow Hitch Receiver in Carrying Case ($250) - Brand New

    @vthreee That is lame you didn't get a case. My guess is if you stopped by a service center they'll hook you up and give you one ... Sorry, don't want to part with mine - I'd rather sell as a complete set. Plus, if I end up shipping the case will make that process much easier.

    HPWC Installation: Fused or non-fused disconnect switch?

    Installing a HPWC for MX (72A onboard charger). Dedicated 100A breaker in main panel with 2 AWG wire running to my disconnect switch (approx 60 feet). From there, 2 AWG wire running to my HPWC (approx 10 feet). My question is what situations would warrant a fused disconnect switch compared to...

    Getting my white MX soon! Photos please

    I'm making the same decision right now. I'm picking up my new MX on Monday afternoon. I ordered it with the stock 20" slipstream wheels (silver). Tsportline has the 20" TST wheels on sale this weekend for $1920 (black color) including free shipping. The cost to powder coat my stock 20"...

    Getting my white MX soon! Photos please

    Give the Tsportline website a try. Go to Model X 20" wheels - they have the "TST" wheels which look pretty similar to the slipstream wheels. You can toggle between all the different color options. They also have a gallery which shows the various wheel colors on different color Model X's. You...

    Help me decide ... Red MX: Xpel Ultimate (Clear) or Xpel Stealth (Matte)

    Hey Brian, Thank you for the well thought out response - I really appreciate it! Let me get your opinion on wheels ... I live in Colorado and prefer to stay with the 20's. That being said, I couldn't pull the trigger for the $2k upcharge for the Sonic wheels. I'm getting the stock silver...

    Help me decide ... Red MX: Xpel Ultimate (Clear) or Xpel Stealth (Matte)

    I am taking delivery of my new multi-coat red MX this coming Monday afternoon. On Tuesday I am bringing it into the shop for full PPF wrap (and also chrome delete at the same time) - I keep flip-flopping back and forth between clear & matte wrap. @neofelis was kind enough to share his car...

    I've had a different experience - I live in Colorado and I've contacted my delivery specialist about 6-7 times over the past few months and I've gotten through on the phone and talked with a real person every single time. It depends on which part of the country you're in and how busy the...

    Is it possible to get MX on jack stands using air suspension (no floor jack)

    I have heavy duty jack stands that are more than capable of supporting the weight - I'm not concerned about that aspect at all.

    Is it possible to get MX on jack stands using air suspension (no floor jack)

    I want to powder coat my rims. I'd like to get all 4 wheels off the ground at the same time in order to remove the tires and get the rims coated. It is unfortunate that there are so few jacking locations on this vehicle. My thought is to drive all 4 wheels on top of concrete blocks that are...

    6 weeks since MX confirmation - account page still says "scheduled for production in our factory"

    I woke up this morning pleasantly surprised to the following change in my account page ... "Your Tesla is currently in production" Yay !!! FYI - I configured 6/30. I give up on trying to figure out the rhyme/reason on how Tesla determines production order. The only thing that is obvious...

    HPWC Wiring: Is conduit required in crawlspace?

    Thanks for your help guys. Spent most of the day today running the 2AWG in conduit. I've run the section from the breaker to the 100A safety switch in the garage - now I just need to get my hands on a HPWC (and also my car for that matter) - today is 6-weeks exactly. Looking like it is going...

    HPWC Wiring: Is conduit required in crawlspace?

    Between my breaker panel and my garage there is a 40' run of crawlspace. I have a 90A breaker and 2AWG wire running to my HPWC. I will use conduit for the run in the garage leading up to the HPWC. But how about inside the crawlspace (between my breaker panel and garage)? Is conduit required...

    Uggghhhh ... This wait is killing me. Originally quoted 6-8 weeks. That ain't gonna happen - I live in Denver and the car hasn't started production yet. Once scheduled for production, will this page update to show the actual production date(s) ??? I've called my delivery specialist (Doug -...

    Trailer vs. Bike Carrier

    I've owned the +2 rack before but in the Thule version - the Kuat and Thule 4-bike configurations are HEAVY bike racks. As you point out, once you add bikes you are way over the 120 pound limit - but even if you were at the 120 pound limit, I would not suggest using the +2 because of the huge...

    Which AWG Wire? Someday want to upgrade 14-50 NEMA (50A breaker) to wall charger (90A breaker)

    I'm definitely not going to pigtail to HPWC. Once the HPWC goes in, the junction box & the 14-50 outlet are both coming out. The feeder wire will be terminated directly to the HPWC. The sole purpose of the junction box is so that I can down-size the wires going to the interim 14-50 outlet ...

    Supercharger - Wheat Ridge, CO

    That is awesome you will have a SC so close. I live in Superior & Tesla is currently building (and expected to open) a service center here in 2019. It will be awful nice if they put some superchargers there also. Even if they don't, the Boulder superchargers are only 10 miles away. Cheers ...

    Which AWG Wire? Someday want to upgrade 14-50 NEMA (50A breaker) to wall charger (90A breaker)

    Sorry - left that part out. My plan was to install a junction box adjacent to the 14-50. This way I can downsize the wire going to the 14-50. Once the HPWC goes in, the 14-50 outlet and also the junction box goes away and everything will be hard-wired within the HPWC. The HPWC does not use...

    Which AWG Wire? Someday want to upgrade 14-50 NEMA (50A breaker) to wall charger (90A breaker)

    I'm 4-6 weeks out from getting my MX (100D). For now I plan to wire a 14-50 receptacle (50 Amp breaker) because it is cheap (relative) and easy. At some point down the road I'm hoping to score a referral and get a free wall charger (or maybe find one on Craigslist or ebay - anybody out there...

    Has anybody wrapped multi-coat red with Xpel Stealth?

    Thanks for the link - oh man, that looks pretty sweet. My X is slated for delivery between mid to late August. I have some time to make this tough decision - but in the end, it is a win-win, so it is all good. And yes, after full wrap I do plan on ceramic coat.

    Has anybody wrapped multi-coat red with Xpel Stealth?

    Stealth wrap is different than regular wrap. Stealth knocks down the shiny finish and transforms it to matte.

    Has anybody wrapped multi-coat red with Xpel Stealth?

    I've seen pictures of stealth wrap on silver, white and blue - looks awesome. I haven't seen any pictures of stealth wrap on the multi-coat red... Anybody out there do this? Any pictures? How does it look? Thanks-
