Refreshed 2021/2022 Model X Owners Thread

[DCGOO]

I am hoping to average around 330 wh/mi. If I can get close to that, I'd be pretty happy.

That is roughly what I was getting on my 2018 X100D. The 2022 with its much more efficient motors, should be significantly better.

Gaming does not work on the rear screen "yet".

But wireless controllers do work on the front screen. Wireless Gamepad

I’m getting this also, but ONLY for the first drive of the day — like it’s still warming up or something. After the first mile or two it’s gone.

Only “flaw” in 3 months / 3k miles is a loud creak in the driver‘s seat — happens whenever I take my foot off the accelerator and regen kicks in. If you change the angle of the seat it‘s not as noticeable. Mobile service won’t fix it, told me I need to take it to a service center - just been procrastinating doing it. I assume the springs in the seat just need replacing - or tightening.

Question — has anyone wrapped their yoke? It came from the factory with a tiny chip in the foam, which is annoying me. Would be happy to just cover it and be done with.

I hope there could be some "yoke cover" just like the conventional steering wheel covers you can find everywhere for 20 bucks. I am not sure why there isn't any on Amazon yet.

im about 330 wh/mi over 1K mile MXP.

If you are driving around in Plaid mode (and why wouldn't you? that's why you bought it right?), this vibration is the heat pump running to heat up the battery pack/drive units. Part of Plaid mode is that it keeps the battery pack at an optimal temperature for higher performance. This means when you first start driving in the morning the pack has to be heated.

300 wh/mi is really pretty good for such a big heavy vehicle. I don't see there's anything to "fix". There's so many factors at this number... speed is a HUGE factor. In Frisco, if you are on the the Tollway, 380, or 75 and doing normal highway speeds (e.g. 65-75), that IMO is a very good number.

I got 300 on local-only trips, I am actually averaging 352 wh/mi instead of 340. I averaged around 270 wh/mi on my 2018 Model 3 with 19' wheels for 3.5 years and 55k miles in the same area, and that was with 4 winters and for a car without heat pump.

I don't think my driving style is aggressive at all, and I know I shouldn't expect to hit the EPA rating as there are many highway drivings, but 350 is just too high imo

My lifetime (3,700 miles over 4 months) so far is 355. MXP 20". Mix of highway at 74mph and city. I also do a fair bit of idling while waiting to pick up the kids - not sure how that is factored into the consumption stats.

Energy usage is factored into the current mile if in D and into the first mile if in P

forgot to mention i drive in plaid mode only

Tried drag strip launch on my LR but didn’t launch properly. It only gives a few seconds to launch otherwise it goes into “reduced motor power available”. Anyone have this experience?

I would recommend getting an alignment. My X on delivery felt fine, drove perfectly straight. But my energy consumption was similar to yours, higher than my 2018. After the alignment, it dropped to 220-240 at 55 mph. At 80 mph, it was only 310. The service advisor opposed my request to the point of not writing it up until I offered to pay for an alignment. It should have been warranty, but I ended up paying $275. I plead my case after the fact, but no response.

I am on 2020.20.8 (still no energy graph)

I got a full frontal PPF. but that was after a full vinyl wrap color change to bright yellow. If not for the color change, I would have skipped the PPF.

Can you post your alignment sheet? Mine was WAY off and tesla aligned it but the front total toe is exactly 0 degrees and I'm betting I need just a bit of negative front toe (toe out) to get the best fuel economy.

My toe is pretty close to zero as well.

Just got my alignment done, I am not very good at “cars” so could you tell me how bad is it? I got 344 Wh/mi before the alignment on 2003 miles. Let’s see if the alignment helps with anything.

I miss having the tire pressures , trip etc on the display. Adjusting the fan speed isn’t as convenient as before since you cant use the steering wheel dial like before.

Those post-alignment left front and right rear tire pressures though…

Haha, never noticed that! Pretty sure I didn’t drive back with flat tires…

The alignment didn’t help with the range btw… I think it’s just the Texas heat and AC blowing like crazy all the time. Now that it’s cooler, range is much better, at around 310.

how are the LR energy graphs?? I drive in plaid mode and am not shy in having fun (never tracked or launched). seems to have a 20-25% plaid tax in terms of mileage efficiency

 

[Smoot]

Is anyone else getting the "Manual door release used" message on 2022.40 when using the normal button?

I lost energy graph a while back in some software update, as well as Megaphone (still present but non functional)

I’m with you! I have to imagine they’ll introduce some of that functionality back in due time. It does feel a little rushed and lots of little oddities. I’m excited to get the update that brings the energy back.
