    Impeccable 2022 Tesla Model X - Low Mileage, Outstanding Condition for Sale by Owner!

    Ouch. I think that you need to realize this is a Tesla forum, so there is no need to sell people on the idea of the car. The only thing needed is the in-service date. The date it was originally purchased. Options, how many owners, and detailed description of the condition. The sale price...

    Do you use Pirelli Scorpion Zero Assimetrico or Scorpion Zero All Season?

    OK I've decided to bail on Goodyear F1, and my choices are Scorpion Zero All Season Or Scorpion All Season Assimetrico I would love to use Michelin Pilot Sport AS4, but I've posted and searched questions and it doesn't look like there is much feedback from owners. Really would love some help.

    Can I run Pirelli on the front and Good Year on the rear for now?

    Hi there I need new front tires, but my Goodyear Eagle F1 on the rear are almost new. I think I want to switch to Pirelli but the tire store I go to says it's a bad idea to not change all of them at once. I don't agree if they are both correct for the car. Opinions?

    XP w/ 22" rims: Dump the Good Year Eagle F1? How bout Michelin Pilot Sport AS4? Or?? PLEASE!

    Greetings! I have a 2016 XP90 and it's time to change tires again. Two things: I notice more wear on the inside of the fronts, so can I go to any alignment shop? 2nd, The Goodyear F1 have been OK I guess. I'm afraid to change because of the "Noise reduction technology" and "Low rolling...

    Best 22" tires today?

    I should say that it looks like the Goodyear Eagle F1 has soundtech so maybe that's the best bet? My other idea is Michelin Pilot All Season 4. I have those on my Alfa Romeo and used the All Season 3 on AMG cars in the past. They had exceptional life, great ride though the ride quality was...

    Best 22" tires today?

    Greetings our 2016 P90 needs tires and we're in California so all weather is not critical. I've always been a Michelin guy. The car has Goodyear Eagle F1. It has 60k miles on it now, and I think I replaced the rears at some point. I want quiet, long life, decent handling. Not a cheapskate.

    New Dealer Scam - READ THIS before wiring ANY dealer money

    I saw an ad for a 1997 Porsche 911 Twin Turbo manual w/ 28k miles for $56,500 form a dealer that from appearance has been in business for 30 years and has reviews on Google and Yelp. They offered it to me for $54k delivered. The car is worth $75-80K. The problem is the website they made was...

    Should I sell my 2016 MX?

    I bought a 2016 P90D used for $86k about 2 years ago. In California traffic, with people being so aggressive, I'm not sure if the auto lane change would EVER think it was safe. You have to shoe-horn your way in. With 22" wheels, the ride is fine. There just isn't that much or in reality...

    Model X with no kids?

    We don't have kids. Dog yes, no kids. Both around 60, drive the snot out of it. Wife loves it because of speed and safety. Don't look back. We bought our 2016 P90X from Carmax because they had a 7 day refund. I thought we wouldn't like it. LOVE IT.

    Is the X too heavy for a tile floor garage?

    My real questions are: Do people have problems with porcelain tiles cracking or lifting? Does Swisstrax or Racedeck start looking like um...plastic after 5 years?

    Is the X too heavy for a tile floor garage?

    Greetings I'm setting up my dream garage and thinking of tile. I'm a little nervous about it the weight of my Model X. Any input on this, or what you did to prep the floor? Did you use a membrane?

    What rating did you do to wire your HPWC, and should you future-proof?

    What rating did you do to wire your HPWC, and should you future-proof?

    Installer states the connecting terminal in the HPWC is too small. But if others have done it, they've done it. I guess it's 3 runs of #3 and a ground?

    What rating did you do to wire your HPWC, and should you future-proof?

    Hi Herbert So sorry to bother....I've decided to just do Nema 14-50 to a couple outlets using #6 and run the HPWC on a 100 amp circuit but the electrician doesn't see how to run #3 to it. What cable exactly does he run to the HPWC and does it simply attach? Thanks so much.

    What rating did you do to wire your HPWC, and should you future-proof?

    I have only one HPWC. And adding three more outlets to other spots for convenience and the future. Can I run #3 to a 14-50 outlet and change that later to whatever the current HPWC is at that time? Use a 60 amp breaker for now and change it later? I really appreciate the help guys and gals...

    Thanks for responding. My electrician speaks little English. I think I will follow your lead as I will run a 100 amp line, put the HPWC inside my garage and a 14-50 socket outside on the same line (Imay be parking the car outside at times). I'm adding 2 more taps to the side walls for the...

    I know this sounds crazy but there is no button on my Tesla app. I'm logged in, can see all the information on my car. No button anywhere. A top trim piece on the roof fell off right behind the front doors.

    Resales value of 2018 Model X

    Dude...they have to re-sell it and make margin. Big deal. Take a $100k Mercedes back to the dealer if you want your rear end to pucker. You want them to buy it back from you, CPO it, and re-sell it and not make a profit of 10%? The costs of processing it by itself must be 5%. Before...

    Model X Resale Value with XPEL Wrap & Modifications

    Would you pick free lifetime supercharging or AP2/3?

    Problems buying a used Model X

    CPO is a way to add profit margin to a price so you can't shop compared to a private party sale. Nothing more. Whether Tesla, Porsche or whoever. Some add an extended warranty, but you can often buy a better aftermarket warranty from companies like Fidelity for less. I just bought a used X...
