    Squeak and rattle on front MX

    I’ll be brief. Car is out of warranty by 6 months (MX 100D 1 month before Raven model), I had the half shafts and front control arms replaced in the last year (whilst under warranty) to fix a horrible squeak at full-lock turns, the shudder and “death” rattle on hard acceleration. The problem...

    Autopilot freaks out with wipers

    I had my MX in to replace the driveshafts a few weeks back to fix the vibration on acceleration issue and asked them to replace the wipers. After a long trip down to the alps I noticed that the car would freak out when on autopilot and spraying the windows with wiper fluid. This happened so...

    Rhythmic vibration at speeds above 80mph

    I’m out in Europe for the week and it was something I noticed earlier in the year. At speeds above 80mph there is a rhythmic vibration in the car which increases with speed. It’s about 1-2 seconds of mild vibration, then no vibration for a similar period. At around 90-100mph the vibration is...

    Anyone in the alps?

    We followed a black MX down to the alps this week and just noticed it parked up at a local Carrefour in Morzine. Anyone here?

    Borrow some jack pads?

    I’ve ordered some jack pads but I don’t think they’ll be here for Christmas and I want to swap the tyres out for some winter ones before Christmas travelling. Does anyone have some that I could borrow to fit a model X- I’m based in High Barnet (could meet south mimms) If not I’ll just buy some...

    MX windscreen crack

    Yesterday I noticed a small crack on the corner of the front windscreen. The car hasn’t been out for a few days and there is no visible external damage. I can’t feel the crack on the outside and it seems to be propagating from the corner underneath the blacked out section. The only thing that...

    UMC Gen2 Questions

    I'm planning on driving down to the alps next year for a ski trip and started making plans. Clearly the route is well stocked with superchargers so there will be no issues en route, but the question that I'm unsure about is the use of the UMC whilst in France. I've read that there isn't a...

    Close calls?

    Decided to take the family on a short road trip up to Alton Towers this weekend but unfortunately Tesla SC didn’t get my car back to me in time and I ended up with a 75D loaner, so more stops than I really wanted. To make matters worse I was hoping to charge at the Airbnb I had checked into but...

    Traction...

    ...OMG! After the heavy rain we’ve had the past day or so the car handles wet surfaces bloody well. Had a moment today where I needed to join a dual carriage way with only the tiniest of slip-roads, put my foot down from a stationary start and was at 60mph without the slightest loss of grip. I...

    Random car alarms on MX

    For the past 24 hours I’ve been having random car alarms and app alerts. In some cases there have been no sounds, no flashing lights and just recently (during a software update) the car alarm was going off for about 2 minutes with no way to deactivate. Webcams don’t show anything untoward was...

    Snow chains

    I know it’s the wrong time of year but does anyone have any recommendations for snow chains for an MX with 20” rims? Seriously thinking about heading down to Geneva next year for some skiing and no doubt we’ll need a pair for the front tyres. I will probably only use them 1-2 times a year so...

    Sentry mode

    For a laugh I thought I’d leave sentry mode on today and tonight to see if any nefarious activities were to take place. Aside from the extensive battery drain I noticed that it is overly sensitive recording around 40GB of video in 12 hours. I’m parked on-street on a fairly quiet road and it...

    Picked up my new MX today

    So I picked up my new MX today :) 100D Midnight grey 6 seat (black) - pre-raven model but with HW3.0 (or so they say) and FSD. I pointed out a whole load of imperfections on the paint and trim which they’ve promised to sort out. To my surprise the charger pack that came with the car included...

    Pickle

    Just spoken with my sales advisor and he's let me know that there is 2019 new inventory MX long range (pre-April 23rd so not new motors or suspension) that comes with free life-time supercharging.. I currently have on order an almost fully loaded MX (minus ludicrous and performance) post-April...

    Exclusively supercharging question

    I’ll have an MX turning up at some point in the near future along with 5000mi (or whatever the equivalent kWh is) credits. As I’ve mentioned before I don’t have access to off street parking so would like to make as much use of the free credit as possible in the first 6 months. I know that people...

    Hello and some advice

    Hi, I've been browsing these forums for the past month and thought I'd take the time to ask a few questions and say "Hi" at the same time. I'm in a fortunate position that I've been able an order a long range / 100 MX or whatever it's called now which will be a big jump from my family Audi A3...
