I had the same issue in my Model X 2016. It did it a few months ago and I was going to take it in but then a software update fixed it. Then it happened again and si had to take my car in for a different issue and they told me I had to replace my glovebox which would be almost $500...

I had the SAME exact thing happen to my Generation 1 charger. The handle broke off exactly like yours. For a while I was just sticking it into the cars without it but it finally broke. I had an electrician come out to install the new Generation 3 charger but the cable/wiring is much bigger on...

I watched your great video you had on YouTube. After the recent upgrade, my 2016 Model X also had the TPMS light go on and also my radio didn't work (regular FM, and Sirius XM). I took it into the Tesla Repair center and they fixed it no charge (although it was in the shop 2 days). After...

Just another update. My fuse has blown again just a few days after them replacing it. I'm not sure what's causing this fuse #236 to keep blowing. Is this easy to replace on your own? Is this fuse under the frunk along with the other fuses? The Tesla shop told me it took them a while to...

Thanks everyone. I just ordered a new Generation 3 Wall charger. Does anyone know approximately how long they take to ship once you order one? I see no tracking # at all and it's been a few days.

So I've had a Tesla for a long time. I got my first Model S back in 2013 and back then I remember how tough it was finding an electrician to install these Tesla high power wall chargers. Now it's simple. Mine works fine except over the years, the actual plug in where you plug the car into the...

My 2016 X has 89,000 miles on it with lots of supercharging on it as I got the free supercharging for life. 90kw battery and it gets 230 rated miles now. I think when I got it new it was around 265 rated miles. So not too bad.

Just an update on my case. I took it in to Tesla, fully expecting to pay for a broken Module. Not only was my TPMS light flashing with the tire pressure no longer working, the radio stopped working too. My car was in the shop 2 days but in the end they said it was Fuse #236 which gives power to...

Thanks so much Mike for taking the time to post. Ah bummer. Ok, yes, none of them display at all. Ok, new question based on Mike's great post. Does anyone know what Tesla charges for a bad module going out? Ha.

I have a 2016 Model X and I much preferred that interface. After updating to the new software, the tire pressure is not only missing but shows a tire air pressure warning in the upper right corner. When I go to Control/Service there is no tire pressure measurements for any of the tires, even...

Just a quick update that Tesla already reached out. They apologized for the error and said they will have someone deliver Just an update. After speaking to Alliant Credit Union and them telling me Tesla made a mistake and should have given me the car once I showed the paperwork, Tesla reached...

Just a real-time update. I went to my scheduled closing appointment yesterday at the Carlsbad location. It was a real sh*t show. There were people everywhere. Tons and tons of people closing on a Sunday. Also, there was a lady that hit the update on her car so she couldn't drive it away...

I'm picking up my Y on 12/26 and my VIN in my app also starts with N in the 10th digit and Tesla said it's "2022".

Bummer it wasn't as low as my last rate with them 6 years ago when I got my X. That was 1.9%. It was 2.3% for 70 months for this Model Y.

Yes, it seems like it was that. Tesla did the right thing and credited BOTH $250 payments as I had to reorder it. It took a few phone calls and the Tesla Corporate HQ was not helpful. I credit this resolution to Matt Barnes in the Tesla San Diego UTC center. He was amazing! He is the one...

No I didn’t cancel it. I literally just want the same exact car. Matt from the UTC office is helping me and promises to get it resolved.

Yes, I know that but I just wanted to have something on record that I called them ASAP to let them know of their error. I couldn't get through anywhere else.

This is the LAST case option. I really want the car and never canceled the order. That's the issue here. I called my local store ASAP when I saw the cancelation email. I know I can dispute the charge but the issue here is how this happened and more importantly how Tesla is acting on this...

I had a strange situation yesterday. I placed an order for my wife online (just as I did when I bought my Model S and Model X). About 10 minutes later I get a cancellation email. I immediately call my local San Diego UTC store to tell them I didn't cancel. I'm still trying to sort out that...

At lest you guys had your orders go through! I placed an order yesterday and then got a cancellation email shortly after followed by a random text in the evening offering to possibly move up my delivery date (I suspect from someone that cancelled their order). Here are the details below: I...

I originally bought the Model S when it first came out. I owned it for several years and then bought the Model X when it came out and I still have it almost 6 years later. I went on Tesla's website yesterday to order a Model Y for my wife. I successfully placed the order so I was puzzled...

I've owned Teslas for the past 8 years. I didn't take my Model S through it when I first got it because it was black. But I've been taking my white Model X through it since 2016. Well, I took my car through the carwash and the plastic piece that goes above the wheel on the outside of the car...

Did you ever get this resolved? I have a 2016 Model X and it used to fully open but it's been a while since it would fully open and now it seems like it's getting worse the older it gets. Even when I'm out in the open and nothing is obstructing it sometimes it won't fully open and I'm...

Before you spend a ton of money try these magic erasers. They really are amazing! I can't tell you how many buffs I got out with them. https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Clean-Cleaning-Durafoam-Packaging/dp/B007EUSKNI

I have a 2016 Model X and the Falcon wing doors used to open all the way up but the past several months only will raise part way. It's totally annoying. Even when there is no obstruction. I always have to manually open them and hold it down to manually fully open them.

Yep this happened to me too after the update. I had to disconnect my phone and totally remove it from my Model X and then re-add the phone and then after that it's showing my contacts.

I didn't have an update but forgot that changing to wi-fi would probably help. I switched to wi-fi network and voila. About 10 minutes later it was ready for download. Took about 20 minutes to download. I have to test the car to make sure all works ok but at least it updated.

I have enjoyed my Teslas. I took delivery of my Model S in mid 2013 and I took delivery of my Model X in July 2016. My first Model S I had in the shop over 10 times for various things. Fortunately my Model X I took it in to the shop for the first time in October 2017. I don't think I could...

Way, way off. Even a fender bender can run $20,000. That's about what my repair bill was for a front end fender bender. They have to repair quite a few parts. I'd definitely go for it for the extra $9/month.

I'm not sure about how long Model X takes to repair but back when I owned my Model S. I was in a minor fender bender and it took about 6 weeks to fix my car. Amatto's in San Diego was the only authorized repair center and they had a TON of cars waiting to get repaired. Not sure what the wait...

Yep. I've had this happen from Day 1 since I got it last August 2016. It's annoying. I will wash the windows well but if you roll down the windows the annoying lines come back. Doesn't seem to be any way to get rid of it.

I didn't have AEB either as this was back in 2013. Yes, it took a LONG time to get my car repaired back then as there is only one authorized repair shop in San Diego. It was really cool to see Tesla's strip down to frame. They let me walk back and showed me. They had many, many being repaired.

Thanks purduelion. This is the type of incident I was curious about. A few years ago I also hit an SUV from behind at very low speed. Probably 5 to 10 MPH at time of impact. Damage to their vehicle was very minor. Dented fender and broken tail light. We really weren't going that fast...

Thanks for the info about the deer and the airbags not deploying even at 55 MPH. I was just curious if there was a specific MPH that triggers the airbags in the event of an accident. Just curious how the car determines when the airbags should deploy?

Do any of you know the minimum speed needed to set up the airbags in the Model S?

Yep. This also happened to me before. I think it's exactly as you mentioned above and I accidentally pushed the stalk which activated the cruise control and it accelerated very rapidly. The scary thing was it was a red light ahead and cars and the car didn't seem to slow down. I had to slam...

It's nice when it works but my Model X rarely detects a spot. Might work 3 out of 10 times.

If you have a Discount Tire just go there. I had a nail in my tire that was leaking air badly. Discount Tire fixed it and patched it for FREE. They are fabulous.

My first P85 Model S was exactly like this. No exaggeration, I'd wash it and if I rubbed too hard on the towel it would leave a little mark. Of course that was with a black Model S. I switched to a white Model X and so far it's great. I even take it through car washes now without stressing...

Yep I also got it. Hopefully it won't take too long to fix it once it has to get replaced. And for those of us here in San Diego we'll probably get a cheapo Enterprise rental. :(

I think without question you DEFINITELY got a lemon.

Good luck! Keep us posted. I love Tesla but there should be NO argument that you should have a perfect vehicle and one that is free of any/all defects. No excuse for any NEW car not to be perfect let alone a $100,000+ one.

Yep. I had to also get the drive train on my Model S replaced. Here is a cut/paste from my repair order. Diagnostics show the drive unit is not functioning appropriately. Isolated HV and 12v system. Removed and replaced the drive unit, pushed updated firmware to ensure proper communication...

Great post. Thanks for sharing. I too had quite a few issues with my Model S P85. However, I took delivery of a Model X back in August 2016. I was thrilled that the build quality is much better than when I took delivery of my Model S back in mid 2013. I haven't had to take it in yet which...

Ha, ha. That could be it too. I just know when I had to take my car in to Amatto's in San Diego it was chock full of Teslas that needed to be repaired. I mean a TON. Maybe it's because it's the only authorized repair shop in San Diego but I was surprised just how many Tesla's were in the body...

Well, I'm not just talking about surviving a crash and living. I'm talking about general safety. I could make the argument that many Teslas are involved in many accidents because of a lack of basic safety features that are in other cars. I'm not just talking about surviving a horrific accident...

I think Teslas are far from the safest cars out there. I really hope they eventually add some basic things that are already in many vehicles. The Cadillac Escalades are really fabulous with the 360 degree view. Makes parking in any parking spot super simple with the 360 degree camera which the...

I'm just glad this driver is alive. I do have to say I agree there is a "flaw". I've had autopilot on before where it never detected a car in front of me and it was going fast. If I didn't take control it would have also hit the vehicle in front of me. I never fully trust Auto Pilot and am...

Knock on wood, my Model X (delivery in August 2016) hasn't had any problems. My Model S when I bought it in 2013 I had to take in a bunch of times but fortunately all is well with my Mod X.

I'd probably just report it to insurance. My Model S back when it first came out got chipped and it was really expensive but I filed a claim and just paid a small co-pay. Also, I got in a fender bender (that ended up costing $20,000) and my premium didn't go up. This is really the biggest...
