It seems like nothing is convincing me more and more to go with a new MB EQS SUV or Rivian than new user experiences on the forums. I'm relatively happy with my 2018 MX and it has been the most reliable vehicle I've ever had. The Tesla service centers, however, have lied to me more time than...

Thanks for the heads up. I looked around for anybody carrying those Hankooks in the Southern California area but unfortunately none were in stock. Ended up getting 4 new Pirelli Scorpion A/S Plus 3s for $1290 after tax and 5% military discount (no roadhazard coverage). Just from the drive home...

RESOLUTION: Just put on a brand new set of Pirelli Scorpion A/S Plus 3 all around and the problem is gone. So it was either the foam separating or one/some of the bands separating. I inpected the stock Continentals and couldn't see or feel anything wrong with them on the exterior - I didn't...

Sorry for not seeing this reply earlier. I have 3/32 evenly on the fronts and 7/32s on the back - I found this weird as most people say the rears wear out faster on pre-Ravens. I rolled the car multiple times and checked all 4 tires all around and don't see any bald spots, belt failures or...

At least you got an issue resolved. Last month I hesitantly took my 2018 X to the Buena Park, CA SC after one of the mobile techs said that they could fix several issues I brought up with him when he replaced the 12V battery. The SC failed to fix any of the issues I had and I gave up caring as...

Do you have the tire model for the Hankooks? I have to replace my OEM Contis on my 2018 75D 20" wheels and have to do some shopping for where I can pick up the Hankooks.

I've got a frozen shoulder so crawling under and checking the inside would be difficult for me. I did remember an important event - the service center did let some air out of my tires. I had inflated my tires to 45PSI when cold before going to the SC. The SC let air out and they're running...

The service was just a keyfob replacement as I had one that was not functioning most of the time even after changing the keyfob's battery and cleaning the contacting surfaces. The vibration is felt in the body of the car. I don't feel it on the accelerator and I pretty much never use the...

I'll find a smooth stretch of freeway (difficult proposition in Southern California) and check it out. The front 2 tires are getting close to being replaced so that may be the case.

I have a 2018 75D Model X that seems to have developed a wobble in the last couple weeks - coincidentally after I took it to a service center just before the original warranty expired. When coasting between about 5 to 20mph the car jiggles or wobbles from side to side if somebody was standing on...

Enjoy The Silence My fav song which I used to sing to my kids when they were babies. Very fitting for a BEV,

When I went for service last September (for my 2018 75D) they basically told me there's nothing they could do other than "educate the customer". They want us to scoop the water off the roof - literally what my service guy said. They were unwilling to reseat the seals. I consider it defect in...

Any route you want to use to extend the range (ie increase signal strength) should work. I wired my house for cat6A when it was built so I just put a cheap router in the garage (connected to the main router) and turned off DHCP (letting the main router do DHCP) and it works as an access point...

I gave up hope on having Tesla reply to any of my communication requests. I ended up fixing the squeaks in my Model X on my own. I'll probably also fix the rubber door trim around the Falcon doors on my own as well if the next service visit they tell me water raining down onto my kids is "in...

Perhaps you missed the post where one Tesla owner updated their vehicle while driving! Despite Tesla clearly warning not to do it while driving. Most people watch the Simpsons and see Homer's antics as comedy... I see it as a primer for what I'll see that night in my ER. As long as people...

I teach my kids to be proud of their achievements (it's not arrogance) but to acknowledge when they've made a mistake and fess up. Guess that isn't click-bait worthy. Humility. Not easily found in today's society, let alone YouTube.

I understand statistics better than most. Even before going to the Costa Mesa service center I knew people were complaining, but it seemed like a better option than Buena Park which is only 3 miles from me. The day I dropped off my X there was a younger gentleman going off on the service rep...

I'll try to keep this short. Background - I bought my Model X on 9/27/2018 as an a new inventory car. When I picked it up it had 50 miles on the odometer (which I was OK with) but was sold as "used" because I guess Tesla used or was planning to use it as a demo car. I didn't see enough comments...

It's not code, I'm pretty sure it has hyperjets and it will go to PLAID!

While Gravedigger may not by riding my tail on the 405 we do have plenty of lifted 4x4 here in SoCal. When I was getting my MX photosynced the 2 vehicles in queue in front of me were Ford Raptors getting PPFed lol

Tesla's "liar in chief" says Tesla's mission is “to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy.” If the company goes bankrupt and stop making vehicles then they will have failed as far as their role as of 2019. Assuming Musk is running the show, he is trying to get enough adoption...

Yeah but your model 3 glass roof is glued on and it's glass. There are many parts of modern airliners that are "glued" on and some of those planes are worth more than the entire value of Porsche sales in a week. The question should be does the downforce created by said spoiler torque off the...

So you're telling me that your car dropping in value from $73K to $62K is insane and predicated on lies, but Apple's phones are allowed to drop from $1100 to $800 in the same amount of time because they're not based on lies? Earlier you used hyperbole and asked if Apple should charge millions...

My LG G7 phones was a brand new model last year and cost $799 plus tax at release. Less than 10 months later it can purchased for $300 plus tax - effectively 3/8th the price with no real improvement in the OS other than security fixes. If we extrapolate the price of the screen in the Model X to...

Had Extreme Autowerks put Photosync 75% on my windshield (1 piece) and mixed % around the rest of the car. It still gets warm inside when sitting in 90 degree sun but it has to be by far the coolest car interior I have ever sat in thanks to the Photosync. Bing was awesome and I would recommend...

I was reading this thread while cooking my Tide Pods (apparently eating them raw is dangerous because of E. California bacteria). I don't see what the big deal is. Control of a 3 ton moving vehicle is not critical to its safe operation. Seriously though, Tesla needs to implement a few software...

The door sensor is supposed to "see" people before it even gets to the point of making contact with them. My 2018 X scares me because it's so cautious opening but seems very determined to close even when I am close by - agree with the "everybody in?" statement above. The sensors in the 2016 are...

If you're serious about getting an X go find an inventory vehicle now with cabon fiber. I took an inventory X because I didn't want to chance a rushed end of the quarter vehicle when I ordered in last day of free supercharging. I got carbon fiber essentially for free because it was offset by...

Geofencing that keep the car unlocked at the home location (so a valet can't set it to auto-unlock at some random location). If my kids leave even one item in the X I have to follow them back to the X with keys in hand. My X is autonomous but my kids aren't - I hand them the key fob I might as...

Just drove from Irvine to Cerritos (waited at Costco for the election traffic to clear out). I didn't use control but stayed pretty tightly in the 72 to 78 range in the empty HOV. I don't draft at all for fear of rocks to the windshield. So with NO AC running and carrying the same 5 people as...

Driving from Anaheim to Irvine on the 5 has minimal elevation changes. When there was no traffic I was getting about 348Wh/mi WITH AC on. I think I was getting about low 330s when I had no AC running once on the freeway but I don't remember the speed. That seems to go with the consensus of...

I have a month old X and haven't noticed any shudder as of yet. I initially set my suspension at low but changed it back to normal height until I hit 60mph. The service department can change the camber if you need do almost entirely one type of driving (ie low for mostly highway or higher up for...

Here's my MX 75D (VIN 117xxx) with about 800 miles on it. Think I drew a short straw but we'll see how it fares over the next year. 184@80% 208@90%

Just updated to .42 - it's my first update since buying the X at the end of last month. Previously I was on version 8 because it was an inventory car. I've had wifi running in my garage for the last 2 weeks, guess it just skipped over the initial v9 rollout.
