    MY road noise?

    Traded in my Model X today for the Y (non performance). Build quality was great, better than both Model X's i had (2016 & 2018). The Model Y is MUCH more nimble than the X. Much quieter as well. I have zero complaints about road noise and I have had everything from BMW, Lexus, Porsche &...

    Constant vibration

    You have a wheel out of balance. Could be possible a wheel weight got knocked off when putting the 20's back on. I just had the same thing happen to me on the 22's. Had all 4 tires balanced and the drive is as smooth as ever and any speed.

    TPMS , RE-LEARN

    I don't think a new setup will be required and the X should recognize the TPMS once you reinstall the wheel. I have swapped out wheel multiple times and no additional setup was needed.

    Did anyone trade-in their lemon/repurchase/buyback for another Tesla?

    Ditto for me. Tesla will not allow the buy back as a trade. Two different transactions. My 2018 X has been much better than the 2016 X. Zero problems so far.

    Would you still buy an X?

    I had a 2016 X90 that Tesla repurchased with multiple issues. I have a 2018 X100 for two months now and so far zero issues and MUCH better QC than the 2016. I was VERY nervous about buying the 2018 but the driving experience is like nothing else. In a couple of years I might look at other EV...

    No-rinse wash in cold climates?

    I take my X thru a car wash at least once a month and no issues. I also use the ONR. Not sure why everyone thinks a car wash is so bad. I had my 1st X for two years and it looked great. My new X is the same.

    Avoid Blackvue Dashcams!

    Had the same issue. Bought three Blackvue cameras and two failed within a year. Before the complete failure had l multiple sd card errors and over heating issues. Replaced with Blacksys dual camera setup and zero issues in over one year for all three camera. Plus parking mode is built into...

    Blackvue won't power on

    I have had two Blackvue cameras fail. Won't buy them again. This post confirms they are still not long term reliable. I bought three Thinksys cameras that were much cheaper, don't require a power magic pro to work in parking mode, the wifi app is more reliable (at least for me it is) and the...

    2017 TPMS vs 2018

    I am not sure of the difference from a technical perspective. I had a 2016 X and when I bought a set of new 22 inch turbine wheels I had to take to Tesla to get TPMS to sync. On my 2018 i swapped the same 22 inch wheels and they synced automatically without having to go to SC. I have bought a...

    Build Quality

    I am on my 2nd Model X, August build. So far so good but only 1k miles. My 2016 Model X was repurchased by Tesla because they could not fix a dash squeak on my passenger side (among other issues). They tried four times to fix it and finally told my they did not know how to fix it and agreed...

    Tow package psych

    I was pretty persistent, and not pleased it was not there. They insited on delivering the X to my office. In the end I drove to the SC where they had a new hitch adapter waiting for me. It did not have the extra trailer brake wiring which they found in parts and also gave to me. I am all set...

    Best financing interest rates

    I closed on financing last week with Fed Choice CU in Maryland. 1.49% for 72 months up to 125% LTV. Easy to work with and they have financed a bunch of Tesla's.

    Tow package psych

    Took delivery of a new X on Wednesday. Tow hitch definitely installed but they did forget the hitch draw bar adapter and trailer brake wiring harness. I was able to get both yesterday but make sure you get the bag with the hitch adapter (or whatever they call it).

    Let's talk financing rates

    Not completely true. After the first 24 months the endorsement provides for "better" car replacement. I will know the exact cost for an X100D when I endorse my policy next week. Not sure how $150 a year would cost more especially with a total loss in the 1st 24 months when a I would receive...

    Let's talk financing rates

    Get GAP insurance form your auto insurance provider. It is much less expensive and you can easily cancel it a couple years down the road if needed or you want to. Several carriers also provide new vehicle replacement for a total loss. On my 2016 Model the coverage with Erie Insurance was $150...

    Delivery Nightmare Cautionary Tale

    I am getting ready to order my 2nd Tesla (after my 1st was repurchased form Tesla). Having WAY to many service appoints on the first Model X my experience is that the Rockville SC provides much better service and especially communication that OM. I also live in Annapolis and we are about the...

    Sold my S 70, need to delete it from Tesla account

    Tesla repurchased my model X and within a week it was removed from my Tesla Account. Only thing showing is the Model 3 now.

    VIN Assignment

    Well I configured 2/14 with white Aero and still no VIN. Already missed the 4 week window. Calling Tesla does nothing. They have no info and will not give any indication of when the VIN will be assigned. They certainly have my $3500 in hand. Tesla has a major habit of over promising and...

    Drivers seat slide/rock?

    Geez they wrecked it. Tesla is repurchasing my Model X. At least they told me they were 6 weeks ago and again on Friday but yet to get anything in writing from them. Although I have gotten several emails from the sales side confirm my repurchase and offer to assist in ordering a new X. Still...

    VIN Assignment

    Not sure...I configured 2/14 (white, aero) still no VIN and no contact from ISA. Get used to dealing with "Tesla time" and communications.

    Cream vs Black

    Thanks guys. The Tesla SA corrected himself today and confirmed the cream does have black carpet. Crazy how some of these SA don't know the product. They really just need to know three products.

    Cream vs Black

    so with your cream interior you have black carpet on the floor? SA told me today it is cream carpets.

    Cream interior question

    For those with the cream interior option I have a question. Is the carpet on the floor cream or black? SA is telling me cream ONLY comes with cream carpet on the floors. He said white has black carpet. Pictures I have seen show black carpet with cream seats and even showed the SA the photos...

    Wiki Model 3 delivery estimator

    Current Model X owner reserved Model 3 April of 2017, just got invite to order, 3 to 6 week delivery time. Coincidentally received official notice from Tesla today that will be repurchasing my problematic Model X. Timing worked out perfect. Hoping the Model 3 has less issues than my Model X.

    Tesla owner configurations begin

    Correct. Current Model X owner since 8/2016. Reserved 4/2017 and will take LR with premium and no invite. I think there are still quite a few owners still waiting to order.

    Wiki Model 3 delivery estimator

    Not sure how far along they are. I am a Model X owner (8/2016) and reserved the Model 3 in April of 2017. I have not been invited to configure and I would order the LR rear drive. The delivery estimator still shows December 2017 to February 2018 delivery estimate.

    Bosal Hitch Adapter Loosening

    I have a Kuat 2 bike rack. While I have not had more than two bikes on the hitch, I have had two very heavy 29 in full suspension MTB bikes on the rack with no problem. Those two bikes would weigh more than 4 road bikes. The hitch is very solid with zero "play". I leave the hitch in all the...

    Torn between Dashcams...

    Think you are wrong on this one. The silver BMW merging is 100% at fault. The Lexus had the right of way and has the boulevard rule behind them. They my have over reacted but the over reaction would have never occurred had the BMW not merged into his lane. The BMW had to yield to the Lexus...

    Torn between Dashcams...

    Well I finally got around to installing the BlackSys camera in my wife's Lexus and so far so good and I like it. Video quality seems on par with Blackvue and App viewing seems just as easy as the Blackvue (actually a bit easier IMO). Very easy to view front and rear camera video. Also seems...

    Homelink and Liftmaster 8500

    Same problem for me as well. Two 8500's and neither will work. Model X shows both and flashes lights but no go. This started happening with an update a couple of months ago (when the Slacker also started having issues). Also had the problem that it would erase all the codes for the other...

    Torn between Dashcams...

    In my case I would just keep getting errors that the SD card was not working. Was using a Blackvue supplied card. Was told by tech at Blackboxmycar to try a different specific SD card, which I bought and it worked for about a week until that same message that SD card was not working came back...

    Torn between Dashcams...

    I also left Blackview after the camera failed. I just picked up a Blacksys after researching this quite a bit. Less expansive and parking mode does not require a separate adapter like Blackvue does. Worth a shot for me and much less than Blackvue. I also considered the ThinkWare F770 and...

    BlackVue DR750S-2Ch Install Question

    So Tam, you just connect to the red #4 wire of the brake control wire harness for power and black #2 to ground? Is it really that simple? And you still get constant power for parking mode? This seems to simple.

    Does it need the 2nd row center conclose for Model X 6 seats?Do you have it now?

    I would love this as a retrofit option. My kids are older and have used the third row once in 16 months. They would love the center console for the armrest alone. I am tempted to try and find a used one and figure a solution to add to my X. Anyone that has removed the console want to sell it?

    A/C dash rattle

    I have had the hatch rattle twice. Repaired it once in Feb 2017 and came back and just had it fixed again this week. In my case it was the plastic piece on the rear hatch, the big panel, that was replaced the first time. This last time they said the big piece was "redesigned" and they...

    Brand New 22" Turbine Wheels & Tires (Set of 4) - For Sale

    Well I don't think you would lose that much range to take you to the level of a 75. I paid $3k for my set and it was a brand new set someone had won. They were in perfect condition. I have the 20" wheels and was going to put them back on for longer trips etc. but not going to do that. On a...

    new model X actual reliability, if you live far from a service center

    This was a very common issue and there were numerous posts about it. Your issue may something different. There may have been a fix implemented for new production. I had issues every single time my car was parked in the sun. Since the repair in June it has not happened once. I had a mobile...

    Seat back movement with acceleration/deceleration?

    This has been documented especially for early builds. Tesla will tell you this is normal and it is not. After 10 months Tesla finally agreed to replace my seat. This is not an uncommon issue but not widespread like some of the other known issues. My new seat does not move as much but the...

    Brand New 22" Turbine Wheels & Tires (Set of 4) - For Sale

    I cannot believe people don't realize how much better the X looks with the 22" wheels and tires. I have both and the small loss in range is offset by the much better look and a lot more compliments.

    new model X actual reliability, if you live far from a service center

    That is actually one of the more common issues. Happened to me on both doors. Problem is getting better but still an issue especially in hot climates.

    Supercharger - National Harbor, MD

    I was also there tonight and they were definitely checking when I pulled in. We were eating dinner on the way back home from a day trip. Paid for three hours. I unplugged and moved after charged and no problems at all. Great location!

    Elephant Insurance dropped my Model S

    Actually they did not act as a professional company should. The acted like a company that had a customer file a protest and the Maryland Insurance Administration found in favor of the insured. Maryland has a highly regulated insurance market and even incorrect punctuation can change the meaning...

    "And say you sell the set for $5000 (about the going rate)" Going rate is about $3500 for a set like this. I bought a set a month ago for $3500 brand new, and never mounted. Perfect condition. I was watching four ebay auctions and all about the same price. My avatar shows the wheels and...

    Supercharger - National Harbor, MD

    Please tell your contact that charging to enter a lot for "free" supercharging is ridiculous. I would be super pissed if I needed a charge and had to pay to do so. I was thinking of heading down to check it out but not if I have to pay to even enter the lot.
