Anyone received delivery of 2019 'Raven' Refresh?

[DoubleE]

I just got my Raven a few days ago and other than a windshield issue which will be resolved today, the car is definitely an improvement over my 2016 MX. I'm wondering if anyone has had any wind noise issues, and if so, what area of the car and were you able to get Tesla to address them? I know that was a big deal with earlier builds.

Congrats! I haven't had any wind noise issues with my new X.

What was wrong with your windshield?

It actually had ripples in places so vision was distorted as if you were looking through handmade glass. If you looked through the left side of the windshield the painted center line actually looked like it was wiggling..... and there was a place straight ahead where if you moved your head up or down the car in front changed shape. Not good.

I was worried I'd get a hard time from the service center, but the first thing the service manager said when he looked through it was "Man, that would make me sick...." So there was no hassle about getting it replaced, but I was also concerned about replacing something so integral to the build of the car. But two service centers told me the repair job would certainly be as good as new and maybe better, because they use a wider bead of sealant than the factory.

Picked it up this afternoon and all seems totally fine. Weird, though. I searched the forums and couldn't find anyone else who had that experience.

Wow. That’s crazy. Glad they fixed it for you!

Has anyone seen the newer ravens with the adaptive suspension without the newer motors around? Or they all sold out?

I was considering not answering, because I did not have the answer to the question of getting Tesla to look at a wind noise issue; because I don't have any issues with wind noise. I don't know how common that problem is these days, I did not know it was an issue (at least not significant quantity) on older models.

I was unaware that there are newer ravens without the permanent motor in the front but with the updated suspension. If anything I would think those are not newer, but some intermediate state between the older versions and the ravens.

I could see them adding new suspension earlier in the process as they were making builds and before the 'refresh' was announced. Did they make an announcement that they are going to stop using the newer motors in the latest builds? If I am not mistaken, that is supposedly where those extra few miles of range are coming from.

I think you are correct in your understanding. There were reportedly some new suspension/ old motor vehicles produced during the switch over.

I believe there were a couple of people that also got the last of the ventilated seats with the new upgrades

Got our 75D today. GPS crapped out 10 minutes from the SC. Hoped an update would fix it, but no such luck so far. GPS thinks the car is still on the highway 30 miles from here.

I assume you've tried a hard reboot?

Might be a loose antenna wire...

 

[Nate Finch]

Is a hard reboot different than just holding down both scroll wheels?..I've done that twice.

There's a deeper version that reboots many more modules if you hold the brake pedal down at the same time as the scroll wheels.

You'll want to be in Park for that, of course.

 

[Nate Finch]

Yeah no good. I'll have to call service in the morning.

Anyone who have tested Supercharger v2 or v3? Would be interesting to see the charging speed improvements.

There's only one v3 site open to the public AFAIK, and I haven't read reports from a Raven charging there.

We have lots of experience in v2 here though - and it looks exactly like pre Raven 75 and 100 kWh packs after the firmware update sped them up.

On our new Raven MX the FW doors won't open from the outside or from the touch screen. Very unusual. To open you'll have to hold the inside B pillar button. After you open it this way you can then close it and open from the outside without issues. Is there a fix for this or do I need to setup a SC visit. I remember someone on this forum had this issue but couldn't locate it.

There is no "raven" Model X, its a "Model X"

 

[Super_Popular]

On our new MX

Fixed it for ya

I don’t have that FWD issue on my Raven Model X. I do notice on my Raven Model X that at home in the garage the FWDs and trunk don’t open all the way even if there is no obstruction, and even if I raise it and hold the red button down to reset the height (per the Raven Model X owner’s manual) it doesn’t change this behavior.

But it’s a minor problem. Overall I love my Raven Model X.

There's a little button on the doors page on the center screen "open fully at this location" you have to hit to get the doors and hatch to open past halfway by default if it sees a ceiling.
