I did that shortly (days) after delivery. Cost me $275. Enormous improvement in efficiencyThey will check the alignment for the cost of an alignment check, lol. I did get mine checked right away and there was a very small adjustment needed.

I would generally ONLY trust Tesla service unless I went with a shop like the electrified garageWhere is the best place for wheel alignment is it with Tesla Service?
Tesla service can f up an alignment just as well as a Firestone. Consider a local performance shop if it’s an available option.I would generally ONLY trust Tesla service unless I went with a shop like the electrified garage

I assume to align they shop can use a standard alignment rack. That is, are any special jigs or other tools required?Tesla service can f up an alignment just as well as a Firestone. Consider a local performance shop if it’s an available option.
Can someone recommend a way to use a roof box on the MX? Obviously with the doors it won’t work, but I was thinking maybe something with the trailer hook?
You're probably better off just getting a wheeled trailer, especially given the 120 pound vertical weight limit. The box combined with the hitch mount would probably get close to that limit anyway. It's absurdly low especially given that you don't have a real roof option.Can someone recommend a way to use a roof box on the MX?

On long trip I always use A Better Route Planner. Give a lot more flexibility. The in car charging algorithm tends to be very conservative which means more stops.My family and I just bought a used Model X Long Range Plus Technically 2021, but produced December of 2020.
We took a road trip from Denver, CO to Dallas, TX. 795 miles each way, but we ran the AC non-stop (heat wave in TX right now).
Saw friends in Fort Worth, TX... ALL-IN round trip was 2,331 miles. All supercharging cost about $302.66 ~850kWh
We stopped for charging about 5 times on the way down:
Limon, CO; Lamar, CO; Amarillo, TX: Childress, TX: Henrietta, TX
On the way back to Colorado we stopped 7 times (navigation acted funny):
Henrietta, TX; Quanah, TX; Amarillo, TX, Clayton, NM; Trinidad, CO; Pueblo, CO
I didn't understand why the routes varied so much on the return trip. 7 times was too many to stop on that drive. Over all really smooth ride. Autopilot was handy.
It would help if you included the model year of your X, and whether the Supercharger was a V2 or V3 (150kW or 250kW). I've found that on a 700 mile trip to Kansas we take a few times a year, in my 2022 X, we can make it with three stops instead of four, reducing the total trip time by an hour and a half, compared to our 2018 X. We do try to stop only at V3 Superchargers.The trip down had 4 stops. Fewer than the drive five months ago.
Stop #1: Drove for 2 hours 46 minutes to Lamar CO (supercharger); arrived to station with 12-13% battery. Charged up to 100%, took 1 hour 15 minutes to charge.
Stop # 2: Drove for 3 hours 34 minutes to Amarillo, TX (supercharger); arrived to station with 6% battery. Charged up to 67%, took 37 minutes to charge.
Stop #3: Drove for 2 hours 40 minutes to Quanah, TX (supercharger); arrived to station with 10% battery. Charged to 86%, took 46 minutes to charge.
Stop #4: Drove for 2 hours 16 minutes to Henrietta, TX (supercharger); arrived to station with 43% battery. Charged up to 94%, took 39 minutes to charge.
Stop #5: Destination. Drove for 2 hours 30 minutes to Fort Worth, TX (destination; arrived to destination with 50% battery.
