As noted above, we took delivery of our Refresh X on Sept 20 and I promised a short review video after we had a chance to drive it for a few weeks. We now have nearly 2000 miles on the car, so here is my video. Enjoy

Took delivery on 9/20 and our X came with the carpet floor mats.

Took delivery on 9/20 in Pleasant Grove UT. The car is a 9/2023 build. The build quality is fine, but I'm not that picky. There is nothing that I noted that needed attention. This is our 3rd time with a Model X (2017 100D, 2021 LR+, 2023 Refresh X). The delivery center was packed full of...

BTW this will be our 3rd time buying an X. Looking back at my history, we bought our first, 100 D in October of 2017. We traded it in on a Raven LR+ in October of 2020, and now the refresh X. I really didn't plan on replacing our current X with another X, but the price drop and FSD transfer...

Update to my previous post: It looks like I'm going to make the FSD transfer deadline Just got a text with the vin and updated delivery window. Vin is 415XXX The vin designates it as a 2023 model year. Order Date Sept 1 ODD Sept-Oct ODD 2 Oct - Nov ODD 3 Sept 22 - Oct 13 ODD 4 Sept 19 - Sept...

Another Data Point Order Date Sept 1 ODD Sept-Oct ODD 2 Oct - Nov ODD 3 Sept 22 - Oct 13 Salt Lake City Delivery Long Range, Midnight Silver, 5 seat black Interior Trading in a Raven LR+ X with FSD. If Tesla won't transfer FSD, they will have to up the trade in value of our current car. I sure...

On the Teslafi site, there have been 8,900 installs of the new software, but only 2 model X's have received the software. If you dig deeper, the two model X's are 2022's, so it looks like the rest of us will have to wait longer. Maybe they just forgot us or it could be a minor incompatibility...

I'm going to sit tight with our current X. All the new stuff is cool, and I'd consider trading in if Tesla would allow us to transfer our FSD from one vehicle to another, but that is not going to happen. I'm envious of those who will get all the new features, but it has been my experience that...

The Santa "Vehicle" is a toybox feature that can be toggled on or off. Our roads are currently snowpacked, so I haven't been able to test display changes for full self driving. The blue wheel indicator and speed limit sign have been moved, and the fonts are smaller. I'm guessing they are...

I thought I'd post an image so that other's can see what has changed as far as font size.

Good news. I installed firmware 2020.48.12.1 yesterday afternoon and my car charged normally coming out of sleep this morning. I'll need a couple more days of testing to make sure the problem is solved, but I'm hopeful. At least I didn't have to open a door this morning in order to get the...

Any chance you could text your service tech and get some specific details so I could send them to the tech that said I needed to go to a service center (500 mile round trip). Thanks

Yes, I tested the voltage at the charger plug when the Tesla display was cycling between 0 and 187 volts. The voltage at the the plug was a constant 231 volts. When I pop the trunk hatch, the car will charge as normal at 40 amps, and the voltage settles at around 230 volts. I'm wondering how...

Just checking back in to see if Tesla was able to resolve the issue for you. The Tesla Tech that remotely ran diagnostics on my car said the car checked out fine, so he/she is convinced that it is my charger or electrical source, but I'm certain that is not the case. The reason I'm certain...

I agree with you. The first time I noticed it was when I was in the garage after the car had sat for a couple of days. I could hear a relay clicking on and off. Who knows how long that had been going on, and it can't be good for whatever is clicking on and off. I only discovered the heater...

I am having some unusual charging issues with our 2021 X as well. Mine charges fine if I plug it in and charge right after driving the car. If I delay the charge, or if the cars sits for a day or two and the bms tries to top off the battery, it will go through a process similar to what you...

Interesting. I've been looking at my data, but from the charging information. I charged from 38% to 80% yesterday and Tesla indicated 42.7 kwh added. So 42.7 kwh / 42% = 101.6 kwh. I plan to do this for the next few charging cycles and see how they compare. Any readers out there with a scan...

First of all, don't panic, or over think this, unless of course your daily commute is over 200 miles. I've had 3 winters under my belt with a 2017 100D in Northwest Wyoming. I've said for a long time, its the best winter car I've ever owned, as long as the trips are less than 200 miles. My...

We have had our new 308XXX vin Model X for a week now, replacing a pre Raven 100D after 53,000 miles and 3 years of ownership. Over 240,000 model X's have rolled off the line between our two cars. I love the idea that our "slightly used" Tesla will now go to another family who might not be...

I went out and took a measurement for you. The suspension is at standard height and the seat is set for my preference (5'8"). My measurement is 27.5 inches from the ground to the top of the side bolster. If I raise the seat to it's highest position, the measurement increases to 29 inches...

Yep, 40.4.5 does the trick. I just installed it and my car is charged to 83% / 309 miles. Extrapolating gives 372. Yahoo! Even if it is smoke and mirrors, I'm happy. Release notes below:

I think I can rule out a heat pump. I did a test this morning. 1. Slow charged the car at 9 kw for about an hour to warm up the battery 2. Stopped the charging 3. Turned on the cabin heat then watched the display to see how much current was being fed into the car 4. The garage was around...

The forward and reverse noise is different. The reverse is louder, changes pitch as the speed changes, and is always on as long as the car is in R. The forward noise is hard to describe, sort of like a "rush" sound mixed with an electric motor. I'm pretty sure it is the same as on the 3. The...

Like it or not, the new Model X's now come with the pedestrian warning sound. Here is what it sounds like both inside and outside mine. I guess it is one of the many little "improvements" with the new model year.

My Vin VIN 5YJXCDE27MF308###

I placed the order on 9/23. Like many others, I waited until after "battery day" in the hopes that there would be an announcement of a refreshed model X and S with a larger battery pack. At the time I placed the order, Tesla estimated that the wait could be as long as 9 weeks. I was very...

The sticker by the driver's door show mfg of 9/20

That is a good question, but I don't have an answer. There is a mystery however, as I noticed that the driving menu no longer has the option for "range mode". Was that removed from the pervious Ravens or is this unique to the 2021's?

Yes, it has the pedestrian warning sound. I've only heard it from inside the car, and it wasn't too obnoxious. I'll have my wife drive the car forward and backward in the driveway to see how loud it is from the outside.

My 2017 X100 D had 53,000 miles and would charge to 286 miles at 100% (Down from 295 miles when new)

Lots of changes as compared to my 2017 X100, but this is the first time I've been in a Raven X, so I don't know if there is anything new as compared to previous Raven X's. I'll post more later after I have had more time driving the car.

Just the standard 20 inch silver wheels

I just took delivery of a 2021 Model X, vin 308XXX, and I was surprised to see that the EPA Monroney Sticker lists the range at 371 miles. EPA does not have the 2021 Model X listed on fueleconomy.gov. My car is equipped with the new version H battery. I wonder if the 371 mile rating is due to...

I ordered a new Model X on Sept 23rd. The Vin was assigned on Oct 4, 5YJXCDE27MF308###, and I have scheduled delivery next Saturday. When I plugged the Vin into my insurance policy for a quote, it came up as a 2021 model year. I'm not sure if that means anything. It doesn't matter to me if...

I have a 2017 X 100D (pre raven, EPA 295 miles when new). We have had it almost 3 years and have driven over 53,000 miles. I haven't regretted a minute owning or driving this car. While it has its quirks and limitations, the positives outweigh the negatives. As far as winter goes, it is the...

My 100D X would not make it 230 miles at -20F. I have a similar situation trying to reach the first supercharger from my home on I-80. It is 209 miles and there are no other options for charging along that route. I tried it once in the winter at -10 F, dove for 60 miles with no heat (coat...

At the top of my list is longer winter range. 450 mile EPA range would equate to a comfortable 300 mile winter range. The FW doors are great in my opinion, but if they eliminated them on the next version in order to reduce the price or reduce the weight, I'm OK with that. As far as interior...

If she won't go for a test ride, I'd say your chances of convincing her are pretty slim. The X is a very expensive car and most people just can't get past the price. If she has any environmental tendencies, then I would work on that angle. It is much easier making the leap if she has any...

I've never owned a Lexus, but I've owned several Audi's, Volvo's, Subaru's, and Mazda's. If you have driven both cars and still can't decide on which one is better, then buy the Lexus. When I bought our 2017 X100, I did so because I wanted to move on from gas cars and have a taste of the...

Fantastic. Now just need to close the gap from the Casper Supercharger to the Jackson supercharger, which will eliminate 3 hours of extra driving and charging when I travel to Rapid City.

Just as a reference point, my 2017 X100 with 51,000 miles has about 5% range loss. I think that is pretty typical degradation for my mileage and time. I haven't driven a Raven, but I've sure been thinking about upgrading. As other have noted, the Raven comes standard with many features that...

Fantastic. Now I'll be able to make the leg from Rawlins to Keystone in the winter; and with heat as a bonus. :)

My 100% charge after 50,000 miles is 284 (295 when new, build date Nov 2017). I haven't done a full charge to nearly full discharge in a very long time, so take the 284 number for what it's worth.

We just rolled over 50,000 miles on our 2017 X 100D, and I've posted a Youtube video with my thoughts. Check it out if you are interested.

This is great news, but I wish Tesla would add a Supercharger in Riverton so that it would make it easier to drive from the Jackson WY supercharger to Casper. It's 287 miles and just not possible without stopping for a slow charge for 4 hours at the Black Bear Inn in Dubois or the Breadboard...
