    NHSTA suing Tesla for Touch Screen

    Heard on the new today that NHTSA has decided to take Tesla to court over the failing touch screen issue to force them to issue a recall. The news article said it's a safety issue due to the fact that it could affect operation of the defroster, cause the backup camera to stop working, and...

    Buzzing, hissing noise within first 3 minutes

    Now that it's colder (25-40 deg F), when I leave my house, within 3 minutes, I hear a buzzing, hissing sound that lasts for about 1 minute, then stops for the rest of the trip. Sounds like it's coming from the front end of the car. I've heard the suspension makes its sounds, but I'm not sure...

    How to clean the sand/salt from undercarriage?

    So far I've been keeping my beautiful X parked in the garage when there's excessive salt all over the road. Don't want to prematurely rot the bottom of my car because other people can't drive and the local government enables this lack of driving ability with oversalting of the roads. Since...

    Regenerative braking limited

    Saw something for the first time on my energy consumption wheel on the dashboard on Friday. It got a little colder here in northern Virginia, and for the first time that I can remember, the wheel showed a dashed line down around the -50 area of the wheel when I got in the car. Then when I put...

    Charging interrupted overnight

    Since day 1, I have been charging my car with the charging cable that comes with the car and allows charging up to 40amps. I have a 50amp 240v circuit installed in my garage for this purpose, and I typically charge to 75% for routine, local driving. I always charge my car using the scheduled...

    charging question for 2016 MX

    I have an admittedly older car (Oct 2016 MX P100D), and when I (very rarely) plug into a supercharger, I am only able to get 72 kW rate of charge, even when the car has 40% on the battery and even when I'm the only one on a charging bank. My car actually says "max 72 kW". Just wondering if...

    Holes in the map

    What's the easiest way to see a map of the US that shows Tesla "blackout" zones - places you can't take a Tesla if you plan on exclusively using superchargers? I know it depends on the range of the car, so I would assume most Teslas can safely go 200 miles on a charge, which allows for arrival...

    Virtual rumble strips?

    Folks, Wondering if it's me just noticing or did a recent update just install the feeling of driving over rumble strips when the car is steered onto one of the lane markers (yellow solid line, white solid line, white dashed line) without the blinker being on? Seems I've just noticed this in...

    Potential issue with 2020.20.1

    Wondering if anyone with 2020.20.1 552e77693750 has stumbled upon the issue I found yesterday. I've had 2020.20.1 for at least two weeks, and yesterday I was adjusting my suspension height, and then selected a new text to read/listen to, and when I selected "View Message" with my right...

    Waxing?

    When I got my MX, it was (and still is) unbelievably good looking for a 3+ year old car. The paint job (red) is phenomenal. What product do you folks apply after a wash to keep the surface looking new and shiny and most importantly, protect the paint job from sun, wind and other damaging...

    The last 10% of charge at a Supercharger

    I have not used a supercharger many times (maybe 6?), so I'm not as familiar with how fast the charge should occur. But the one time I charged to 95% for a long road trip, I seem to remember it taking as long to get from 85% to 95% as it did to get from 30% to 85%. I understand the charge rate...

    Software version 2020.12.11.5 release notes

    Hi, Relatively new owner of 2016 Model X P100D. I just downloaded the 2020.12.11.5 software update, and the release notes that I pull up on my screen are absolutely identical to the release notes from the previous version of the software I had (2020.12.5). Did anybody else experience this...
