I don’t think you understand how Porsche works. Nobody buys the base model. It doesn’t even have heated seats! Rather every single option is a la carte or they have a few packages to give you the standard model most other brands would have.

Did you have any experience with these in the rain? It's about 5-10C here and in the rain I've found the Unplugged Street and Track to be a bit "mushy" off the top. I've put in a note with them to see what might be up but was a bit surprised at this since they advertise "more bite" rather than...

That’s a bit concerning that made for the vehicle parts don’t fit precisely. Bad install or ill fitting parts?

Make that Sport mode. Comfort mode is where it was first discovered.

Likely part of the contract. Usually it’s other parties that make aftermarket glass… it’s probably something related to liability of AP/FSD why nobody makes 3rd party glass…if I were to guess.

Is it like this? Strange Issue Driving Straight We had all the safety features off to be sure it wasn’t one of those.

It goes both ways. Tesla is also unique in that their vehicles are delivered weeks from being built, and likely more reactive to exchange. But when we bought our X in 2019 we bought cheaper than the Americans could.

My wife had the same problem, the steering rack in the X is exposed to the elements far more than a normal car (I guess?) and she could barely turn the wheel. We had done the previous recall where they shoot some urethane in it to try and seal it but it was pretty bad and scary when not...

We never got resolution, although we did have to replace the steering rack(it almost seized), the issue persists. There was a service bulletin about the X power steering sensors misinterpreting road bumps as steering input but ours was not part of that recall. I found comfort mode seems to mask...

Yes, this was the case. Every parking stall that had a Supercharger was left uncleared but was still accessible as you could just drive on the snow. All the normal parking spots were cleared and had no snow. I should have taken more pictures but the stark difference between the two cleared...

You can see in the photo the blocked stalls and the fact they cleared the parking spots and left the Supercharger spots uncleared.

The snow clearing for this location intentionally leaves the Supercharger stalls uncleared. Not only that but they put the snow pile in front of the stalls. This contractor really doesn’t like Teslas. I tried to call Tesla to let them know, but you know how that goes. Still accessible at the...

Our 3 we had mostly delivery issues, but also headlights and taillights and turn stalk replaced. Our X... she's been a bit more high maintenance. No showstoppers, but about 25 service appointments since we got her in 2019. And there's still issues they haven't fixed...sigh. My wife loves it...

What was the resolution to this? (if any)

Our X is running the exact "old" tire but not the T0 version. Not sure what other differences but it doesn't have the foam as I saw that was missing when they were mounting them.

Just an update to this, it's been into Tesla 5 times now and they can't seem to find anything wrong. Aside from the banked road drift issue which is normal, the wheel tension persists at random. Strangely, one section of road it happens exactly the same every time. Can't say its the banking or...

Just FYI, the FOB was defective. Replaced the FOB, the problem went away.

You know that McDonald’s coffee issue was a lot more complex that you think. The main issue was that after 800+ burn incidents from their coffee at 180F (20F hotter than home brew coffee) they had refused to do anything. The “caution hot” on the cups is purely because the coffee is hotter than...

No, both have been affected, although one at a time.

So we have come into a perplexing problem - not sure if it's FOB related, but our experience lately suggests it's not us. And for the record, we've booked a Service Appointment. So occasionally we've come out to our X and one of the FWDs has been wide open...sometimes all night. It happened...

It's a bit silly Rivian isn't on there!

If this happens for you during turns, you may need a new steering column. There is a known issue that can eventually seize the steering column. In fact, they assumed I was having the same problem initially and had ordered a steering column in case it was that issue. It was not. My issue is...

Awesome, thanks! Our 19' is set up with the Fastway E2 trunion WDH so I'll leave it as-is. Oh I just noticed @ohmman listed his 2020 Model X hitch for sale, so it seems he's got himself a Raven update and went straight to the Draw-tite hitch again. Nice. My 2019 X 100D is pre-raven by a month. I...

So just an update. I drove the same route in my 3, and the road banking has the same effect on it. So it seems holding the steering wheel is part of the normal operation of a motor vehicle. hah. The bumps while they do move the wheel of the 3 slightly, is not as dramatic as the X. However, the X...

@ohmman Are you still using weight distribution with the Drawtite? I noticed on e-trailer it's now listed as not rated for weight distribution (or perhaps it always was and I didn't notice). We just swapped over as the Bosal had enough of our camp trailer. This season will be the first...

This makes more sense, really. Harley's are renown for being loud, so a mostly silent bike was an interesting direction to take. Livewire will probably do better as it's own entity.

Yeesh that'd give me anxiety and I'm not an anxious type.

Okay, so the issue isn't quite as egregious in these videos. Not sure if that's the wheel/tire change or different roads. Things I did discover: 1.) The vehicle wants to follow the bank of the road. Most roads are slightly banked to the right, so the car always wants to go right. I have 30...

Dude, you might want to get that checked out. If my power gets interrupted I do not get the "Vehicle may not restart" error. it seems like the BMS is faulting and stopping the charging, not a problem with the power.

Well that's certainly something I never considered. Noted.

Interesting. They did an alignment as part of the assumed causes and it only had one value out, and not by much(according to their specs).

Interesting. We just swapped to summer tires (well, all-seasons anyway) so I'm curious if the issue still exists. The winters are the Tesla supplied Pirelli Scorpions. I will be heading out to do an updated video this afternoon.

Yes I will make a new video that doesn’t involve me incriminating myself. Hah. It’s the only reason I didn’t post the one I have.

Not grooved highways, not dished out indentations. Tires have 15,000km on them. Not sure about a tie-rod or steering joint, but it’s been in the SC 3x for this same issue and they can’t find anything wrong.

Yes, but all those lane keeping/warning system are turned off (intentionally so we knew it wasn’t them). And AP when engaged works fine so either it’s not having the issue while on AP (leading to it being software somehow) or that it’s just automatically compensating for it.

It happens everywhere, all the time. Practically all roads that are straight. It’s not AP, AP, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Departure Assist, are all off.

We have a 2019 X 100D (pre-Raven). It’s developed a strange issue that Tesla has not been able to diagnose. When driving straight, the car will randomly “tug” to the left or the right. You can feel the tension on the wheel and it’s as if the car is fighting you. It can always be overcome, but...

I think you are right about planning. But sometimes you are so far out there that you either have to decide to not go there or live with this type of solution. One campground had zero services (not even 120V) was 30 minutes out of cellular service and we arrived there with barely enough battery...

You likely haven’t seen an EU7000is in person. They are monstrous. Honestly though, the force the exhaust shoots out, nothing is in the car. Worst case I could get a silicone exhaust extender to pipe it away from the car. Remember, the point is not to have the generator running constantly. It’s...

It’s actually not that bad. Exhaust comes straight out the back along with the hot air from the fan. I make sure to leave the lift gate open until the heat has dissipated. Now the axle in the subfloor cover is another story.

We had to take the wheels off to get it into the trunk so it stays there full time now, running or not. We leave a Falcon door and the trunk itself open while running and obviously not with anybody inside the car. We also let it cool down after running for a good 10-15 minutes before closing the...

Well, considering our trip from the dealer to the campsite resulted in 27.7% efficiency, I’d say it’s a good backup plan.

We’re going camping a lot this year towing a 19’ Travel Trailer. We’re not expecting to get much more than 200KM while towing and most of our stays will be at somewhat remote off-grid campgrounds. Charging infrastructure will be limited at best and at worst, non-existant. We have the adaptors to...

Especially since they also "forgot" to attach the chains. o_O (Well they did attach them, just it wasn't a step in the process.)

Bosal pulled out of the North American Market according this: https://www.etrailer.com/question-82942.html Could that be unrelated or the fact that we pull larger trailers here and the hitch simply isn't designed for it?

Yes, just for setting up the WD hitch, not for driving around.

Well, after reading through all this and discovering the trailer we want has a loaded weight that will likely exceed(or get uncomfortably close) to the 500lb tongue/hitch weight rating of the Bosal, we've ordered the Draw-tite as then we have a 750lb tongue weight rating which gives us the...

We service our brakes yearly as recommend by the local SC and Tesla. Doubly important because of regen. "Tesla recommends cleaning and lubricating all brake calipers every 12 months or 20,000 km for cars in cold weather regions." From: Car Maintenance

The service manager at my local Tesla SC suggested the newer the X you can get the better. It was groundbreaking in a lot of ways but that also came with a lot of learning along the way. Even my 2019 X 100D had(has) it's issues. Mostly minor nitpicky stuff but a few more involved issues. Most...

Oh that's pretty cool! Learn something new every day...
