Tom does the rear have plastic? I’m not sayin they weren’t genuine. I just wanted to understand whether the rear caliper had a plastic cover like some are reporting.

Tom do the rear calipers have a plastic cover? The pictures make it appear that the rear caliper has a plastic cover and not the same as the 6 piston the front has. I understand about 90% of the braking is done by the front, so I wouldn’t be surprised if the rear brakes were lower performance.

I went ahead and requested service from Tesla. My invoice shows $440 for each caliper, labor was $459 and they added new brake lines ($28 each) and fluid (8.25) surprisingly I didn’t see new brake pads total was 2471 including tax

Tom there are people saying the rear is basically a standard brake with a caliper cover. Can you confirm or deny that claim?

I’ve owned all 3 generations of the X. 2016 90D, 2019 Raven LR, and now a 22 Plaid. Get the refresh. Like others have stated the build quality is much better as the iterations pass.

Is this for Legacy or refresh. If refresh will it work for plaid X?

Any installation vids?

Do you have a photo post install? Curious what it looks like

Look up teslatap on YouTube. He has a wire tap kit that’s easy to install that I use for my radar detector. It’s always on if you have sentry on. Otherwise shuts off after 5 minutes after car is in park. He sells the kit through eBay. Super easy install. This will only work on refresh/plaid S/X...

Correct

Evoffer mentions 2015 and earlier S should buy an appliqués from the service center.

EV Offer does recommend that older vehicles purchase a newer applique and then their kit will work for it. Just route the wire through the cabin to CANBUS and it works. Signals, park mode, charging, stop, reverse.

This should explain it

Yes if you are careful you can remove the letters with a box cutter. it’s basically 4 plastic welds holding the letters in the appliqué and the letters are mounted on a solid plate so it’s not like the letters are individually attached it’s 1 plate.

Evoffer formerly Tesla offer sells this now and the hardest part of the install was removing the existing letters on the oem appliqué. And has many modes, braking, signal, park and charge.

I used the cap. And wrapped and secured it with electrical tape. I use it for an led scanner, lighted T logo and power frunk. Been that way for 4 months and no issues whatsoever

Legacy or refresh X owner? If refresh - please share what you end up doing

If your X is ok, don’t be in a rush to upgrade. A lot of us had bugs to deal With on 2022.8.2

I installed it and I have not seen the right restraint error on 5 drives. I also haven’t seen the limited deceleration warning either which was annoying but not as worrisome as the restraint error

My issue was quite unique in that the wheel change only worked half the time and I would intermittently lose power in the seats on that side of the vehicle or sometimes both when they both had the error. I did get an update today 2022.8.3 which I presume is the fix. We’ll see

What happened that caused a drive unit inverter replacement?

Brought mine in. The techs claimed the use of a seat belt extender for my kids booster was the culprit. They said only plug it in when in use. We’ll see if that’s true. I hope it is. But I only had one extender on one side and got intermittent errors on either side and twice indicating both...

I did a quick supercharge a couple weeks ago on my plaid. No issues at all. This was before I updated to 2022.8.X

seems that way... V11 sucks big time

Do you keep It plugged in? I’ve heard just checking the app a lot and having summon on standby can drain battery a lot. I keep my plaid parked outside but plugged in with sentry on and cabin overheat protection on and only lose 3 miles overnight

Nope

I’ve got the same issue intermittently. Some times the wheel configuration change works to fix other times it won’t. The one thing I have found that seems to “fix” it is to turn on the seat warmers on all seats and go for a shirt 2-3 minute drive. Once I park after the drive- power seems to have...

Sorry to hear that - lemon for sure. What is Tesla going to do for you?

He means go Into service area of touch screen and change the wheel configuration . Then change it back

Have you checked the rear seat warmers? I can’t tell if they work or not. It’s so faint if it is. Also the “bacons” are no longer present in the app for my 3rd row seats . Anyone test the seat warmers that have this error? Also check if the “bacons” disappeared in app. I will note the power (to...

Checked the seats this morning and they all work now. Error message cleared.

my rear vents work. I checked it last night. Make sure you have the rear HVAC on. Sometimes it can just be off when there is no one present in the 2nd and 3rd row seats

Have you tried moving the left center seat since sliding forward or backward? Or folding the left rear seat? Its like the center and rear seats on my right side have no power. I also have a SC appointment on 3/31.

Anyone that updated to 2022.8.2 get this error? I rebooted but was only able to restore power to the left side. My right center chair won’t slide forward or backward and I cant unfold the right rear seat. Scheduled appointment… sigh

Remove your widget a couple nights and see how that goes. 45-55 is still a bit cold for your battery so it will try to keep itself warm. Because you say it’s 45-55 I assume your vehicle is outside. If you have sentry on that could be a factor especially if you get a lot of false alarms. If you...

A lot of us are still waiting for an update - 5 weeks for me

Are Are you plugged in overnight? How cold is it in your area. These 2 items can have a huge impact on lost range

I haven’t seen it on V11. I had it on my 2019 MX.

How long have you had your refresh X? I’m still waiting for an update been over 4 weeks for Me

Someone who had installed a power frunk said they tapped into the same wire. However a local installer of the power frunk indicated they tapped a “red cap” that appears to be a terminal like option. Has anyone

Over the weekend I was talking to a local installer of power frunks, trunks, foot sensors etc. He recently installed a power frunk on a plaid model S and indicated he connected or tapped this red “cap” that does seem to indicate 12V. He explained you remove the cap and connect the wire and then...

It would be but also a less elegant/clean look.

Do you have pictures you can share and maybe a link to the taps?

My plaid on 20” shows 334 miles

Finally!

All I can say is thats what he said. We'll see if what he says is correct. TBH it feels like when they say "within spec" because thats what they are told to say... we'll see

Service guy is here now looks like he pushed the update again - visible in the app. He confirmed this is the latest and should expect updates done by batches - unfortunately we’re still in “factory mode”. Could be any between 3-6 months 😢 to get an update

Nothing exciting- update looks exactly the same. Sigh- maybe it was pushed to me because I had a mobile appointment today- maybe this is the latest firmware available for February delivered plaids

I didn’t check my app. I went ahead and installed it

Just got an update notification. Swear it’s the same version 😂
