    Thinking of trading 2018 M3 LWD for 2018 MX 100D with FSD

    Upgrade in all things, except that dash. That would be a major meh for me. I drove an older X for a week while the 3 was in the shop. The interior on that X was atrocious, loved everything else about it though. Source: see signature.

    Anyone running 275s in the front?

    Not having to go into the suspension settings each time I drive the car and manually having to select Very Low. Yes, a very #1stWorldProlems sorta thing for sure. :)

    Anyone running 275s in the front?

    Wheel rep got back to me and assured me the 275s would fit and not rub in front, even if lowered. I'll be running a custom offset for max poke/concavity while also not sticking outside of the wheel well. Dunno what the offset is, I don't think they advertise it, hopefully it'll be stamped on...

    Anyone running 275s in the front?

    A custom wheel manufacture suggested I run 275/40/21 front and back, (same-ish overall height / circumference as stock, so speedo shouldn't be too far off). Now I'm having my doubts as I've read that the stock Continental CrossContact LX Sports run a bit narrow, and my tire of choice, Michelin...

    Refreshed Model X aftermarket Subwoofer install guide?

    My Google-Fu is lacking. While I dig the OEM system's clarity and loudness, it desperately needs at least another amp'd 12" sub to really slam. Sad there aren't any write ups, nor any stealth boxes available yet for the refresh. I'd rather DIY than pay the extra $$$ for a custom install...

    Need opinion from those who upgraded to refresh model

    '18 M3P to '22 X Plaid owner here. I had a loaner older X, interior was ass IMO. Refresh is the only way to go if you're coming from a 3. I'm McLoving my X, so much more my style, the visablity, height, room, etc. The redickulous power is just icing on the cake. I felt like driving a coffin...

    MXP - Unplugged Performance

    $3k for a stick on? Yeah, no. MAYBE if there was an OEM spoiler delete to go along with it. https://unpluggedperformance.com/product/unplugged-performance-rear-decklid-spoiler-model-x/

    Range of Model X Plaid refresh 2022+

    What is this range you speak of? :) Tis fine round town if you have L2 at home, and I can put on easily 50+ miles in a day and go from 80% to 50% just tooling back and forth. As an over thinker myself, it's a nothing burger.

    Perforated white seat- bad idea?

    White gang checking in. Tis fine. Sure, it'll show 'color' from jeans/grime faster but whatever. Two tone ftw to break up the sea of black

    mx is too fast for me... dangerously fun?

    My only advice, be conscious / mindful if you're ticked off. That's the only time I feel myself losing control of the speed and doing double the posted speed limit, albeit for short distances, mainly to get away from whatever road rage inducing idiot I ran into.

    Did I crack one of my wheels?

    Welp, looks like Forgiatos are out of the running for me :( <-- Lives in pothole capitol of the USA

    2022 refresh swivel screen rattling housing.

    Come to find out I really think it's the rear view mirror that is causing me to lose my poop. If things start to rattle, I'll grab the mirror and gently pull it towards me to put some pressure on it it's ball/cup housing and the rattle goes away. Just food for thought.

    Falken ZIEX ZE960 All Season 245/35/20 tires. Specs look decent and they aren't crazy expensive like Michelins

    Model X LR vs. Model S LR vs. BMW iX

    Family of 5? Model X no doubt. I came from a 3 with two tweenagers. Needed to get into a bigger car. Sat in a refresh S, felt literally the same (yes I know they are different). Went to the X and am so glad I did. The extra row and space is VERY much appreciated. With the instant torque...

    Dumbest question of the year: Can the front doors ever hit the FWD?

    Hmm, I wonder if momentum and flexing caused it? Like it can't be recreated when slowly opening the doors under the controlled environment of observation, but an aggressive exit in a real life scenario and all bets are off. Hmph.
  19. Mike Hawk

    Dumbest question of the year: Can the front doors ever hit the FWD?

    Family of 4 here, so both FWD get used. I coulda sworn that I heard a slight 'clunk' one time when both passenger side occupants where getting out at the same time. Now I'm paranoid. Yeah I should just go out there myself and fiddle with the FWD at all height levels and with the front doors...

    LR Refresh front dash rattle

    I've got a nasty raspy rattle somewhere in the center dash area. It drives me batty not being able to isolate it. Bout tempted to have the other half drive all over all sorts of road surfaces while I have my head inches from the dash trying to isolate it. I thought it was the swivel shroud...

    22" Chrome Wheel Options for new Model X

    Chrome is some nasty ass *sugar* for the environment. Hence why you don't see it at all on any new car manufacturers anymore. Best bet is to look for some machined wheels to give the sameish look.

    2022 refresh swivel screen rattling housing.

    Mine rattles like crazy. Tempted to just remove that stupid shroud. After testing it out the display stays non tilted 100% of the time anyway. No, I take that back, I have to tilt it so I can slap the plastic down so it'll stop rattling. Le sigh.

    Falken ZIEX ZE960 All Season 245/35/20 tires. Specs look decent and they aren't crazy expensive like Michelins

    I'm selling my Model 3. The Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ were getting a bit close to their indicators. An unfortunate meetup with a curb while the other half was driving led me to having to get the wheel refinished. While the wheel fixer was about to mount the tire back on they noticed a chunk...

    Sirius Radio does not turn off sometimes after out of car

    I'm having this same issue with my 2022 Plaid. I'll arrive at a location that is in my favorites, so while it'll lock I don't have sentry turned on. I get out of the car, the main screen displays the full charge screen, ie it knows my butt isn't in the seat anymore The radio turns off I walk...

    Headlight restoration problem

    Headlights are a massive PITA to get perfect if you're OCD. I spent way to many hours refinishing my '05 STi and '11 WRX lights. I had to resort to copious amounts of rubbing compound and countless passes to get them just right. Plastic is very very finicky. Also since you've gotten rid of...

    Rear camber and tire wear on my MXP surprisingly good.

    Speed bumps, adaptive suspension, and height adjustment question

    OP back again. I picked up my X Plaid on 20s back on 8-5 so I have almost 1k miles and a few weeks under my belt. My thoughts, I don't like GPS High :( I have a the kid's school and the driveway where I work that has the most need for height adjustment. My problem is I need to scoot out of...

    Door handles not flush. Odds this can be corrected? **Pics**

    I spoke to soon about the FWD being okay :( The passenger side is inset a few to many millimeters, TBH this doesn't bother me THAT much: However with the FWD fully open the FWD roof glass is hitting the roof spine on the left :( As can be seen, the strike mark on the roof spine: I've...

    Convert NEMA 5-20 to 6-20?

    Interesting. Guess I'd need to see the wiring schematic. Can someone break out the crayons so I can see the difference? :) Seems like Tesla.com needs to just offer a TT30 straight up. Wonder why they don't. Hmm.

    Convert NEMA 5-20 to 6-20?

    RVer here. I'd just get the 14-50 Tesla Mobile Adapter for the mobile charger and then a 14-50 to TT-30 dog bone adapter Power Grip Adapter, 30A Male to 50A Female . I think you have to self police though and make sure you set your max amps accordingly within the car/app before you start...

    Tire choice for 22 wheels

    You should switch to the 20" EV001s so I can see what they look like on an X :p <-- Currently on OEM 20's on a Refresh X. Sortra thinking of the EV001s in 20" with the inserts painted dark blue to match the body color. Are the inserts really screwed onto the rim from the back? Making it a...

    Door handles not flush. Odds this can be corrected? **Pics**

    So my FWD are aligned almost perfectly. I see no issues with alignment to the bottom matte plastic nor the gloss black window trim. Panel gaps are all uniform. However the door handle isn't flush to the body on the driver side, it's pointing out on the left hand side on the front door and...

    Wait for matrix lights? Model X Plaid being delivered within the week

    Couple thoughts after a few night time drives in my new X. Corner turning activated lighting is pretty nice and really lights up the surroundings Auto high beams have MUCH to be desired. There was a new Tahoe ahead of me that I was bright, then off, then bright then off. Guy must have though I...
