I would put in another request explaining that it wasn't present in your previous MX or that of 4 friends'. Including the audio recording. Politely point out that the other Xs don't have this normal sound at all. In the recording I only hear a higher pitch whine and no morse code like sound...

Perhaps they were able to work out the problems in the later productions. Mine was manufactured in December 21. Or you are lucky! Either way, glad you don’t have to deal with these things.

lol We are certainly paying for owning a Tesla in more ways than the money. It’s like living with a genius who refuses to wear pants.

I think you're telling your non-advice to the wrong person. lol

When I sold my old 2011 Camaro after taking delivery of my new Tesla, I looked up Carvana, Ebay, Facebook Marketplace, and Carmax.com. Here is a summary of my experience. Carvana: Gave me an instant offer of ~11k after I took a few minutes of filling out information about the car. Fast and...

I don't have exact numbers but can confirm that Plaid mode uses slightly more electricity. Usually it feels like about 5% difference. I also noticed that cruising at a higher speed puts a bigger dent in efficiency than I realized before owning a Tesla.

Yes. I think I have the same kind of OCD. If something that I use is designed ugly or has a glaring exterior flaw, it bothers me greatly every time I go to use it. In most cases, I eventually end up getting rid of the ugly/flawed possession and replace it with something that I like and am...

I would say that no one, including Tesla, would be sorry to hear that.

Haha. Watching some of the Youtube videos on Whambamtesla channel made me drive much carefully as well. One thing I learned from one of the videos is that if you set the follow distance too short, AP can just crash into the car in front of you. I used to have it set on 3-4. Now I set mine to...

I've read through the entire manual and the only thing regarding Plaid mode's possible usage of battery is the fact that the car will try to keep the optimum temperature for battery at all times in Plaid mode, which implies that if the battery temp is too cold or hot(I don't know the parameters)...

Regarding the yoke, you do get used to it. I also initially felt awkward with the yoke but as you get used to it the awkwardness goes away and it feels just as natural as a wheel. Two pointers I can give you about using the yoke is: 1. When you make tight turns, it's easier if you start...

Holy crap I just noticed the wrap on your Model X in your profile picture and it's the most stunning X I've ever seen! What is it and how did you get it??

I agree. And while this is completely off topic, I feel like there's something important to be said about hitting a child other than just how bad it is. Establishing true communication with a 4 year-old or even older child can be tremendously time-consuming and difficult, because it requires...

Did you order another one when you sold? I'm wondering if Tesla found out about you selling the car because you ordered one soon after delivery.

I found that the self close works when the "Auto Door" or something with a similar name option is checked on, so the opening and closing of doors automatically is tied together and you can't choose only one side of the function. I had to turn it off eventually because the door was randomly...

You mean to tell me that you don't know anyone with a smartphone to take a simple video while you reproduce the deadly faults of your Tesla in your noble quest to save the lives of others? And that once your own car gets a new CPU, you couldn't care less about all the people that could...

So post or send me the demonstration videos and I'll post them for you like you asked. Very simple if you actually want to save lives.

I'm sure a lot more people would be concerned once you can actually show how your Tesla's faults can get people killed. That would be the first thing someone with common sense who is actually concerned about the safety of others would do.

I do think the Polestar 2 looks very nice and was wondering how it compared. Too bad that nothing other than the exterior look seems appealing to me. I was hoping that the Polestar would put up a worthy fight against the Teslas for the benefit of all EVs. Just goes to show how difficult it is...

How did you find a shop that would tint the X windshield and how much did it cost, if you don't mind me asking? Is 70% dark enough to make night driving a bit more difficult? I want to get mine tinted as well but haven't called the shops around to ask if they can do it.

I don't think many states allow for tinting on the front windshield, but if you go with the slightest tint like a 90% or similar, it would be very hard to tell and practically have no chance of getting enforced on the restriction. The clear tint would still block out the heat, and would be a...

Glad you're liking yours! I'm in a similar boat having taken delivery of an X Plaid a couple of months ago. Amazing car, but not without flaws :) Out of curiosity does your glovebox close with a cartoonish tanging spring noise? That was one of the issues that the service center couldn't fix...

Sure. Give me the video demonstration of how your Tesla's faults could get people killed and I'll gladly post them for you. Although I'm not sure why you need me to post them for you, since you're the one so concerned about protecting the safety and rights of others against the deadly faults...

Are you sure? Your love for the rights and safety of others and your belief in common sense was so great that you were compelled to make claims that were untrue and didn't make any economical or legal sense? And when I called you out on them, you couldn't respond to any of the actual points...

If you love car dealerships so much, maybe a Tesla isn't the car for you. Also, there's nothing stopping anyone from opening a shop to service Teslas if they can get enough business. There's just not enough incentives for independent shops to service Teslas at the moment as most Teslas are...

Ah, I've been contemplating changing out the thumb drive to a SSD and had no idea that it makes the playback quicker-responding. Will have to try the upgrade. Thanks for sharing!

Hello, fellow X Plaid driver :) Regarding the yoke, you do get used to it. I also initially felt awkward with the yoke but as you get used to it the awkwardness goes away and it feels just as natural as a wheel. Two pointers I can give you about using the yoke is: 1. When you make tight...

Yes, everything you described(the loud noise, the door alignment being off and door not opening normally) would make sense if the spring in question or an attaching part was broken. Kudos to Scottf200 and MrBombjoy !

It literally sounds like a cartoon spring noise sound effect every time, and I've never heard something like it in any car much less one that costs 100k+. Of course nothing really "matters" if the car still moves :) But I'd be very surprised if this was the case with every new Model X out there.

A tricky situation indeed. While a way to disable the buttons would be the nicest and easiest solution, somehow getting your daughter to voluntarily not perform a bad habit also sounds important. Perhaps you can rehearse the scenario and when she inevitably goes for the button and the door...

I've been thoroughly enjoying my new X Plaid, but there are a few issues that the service center has been unable able to do anything about and I am wondering if anyone else has had the same experience or any solutions? 1. Glove box makes a somewhat loud tanging spring noise every time I close...

Yes, magic rocks that improve audio quality could only provide a "perceived" quality difference, as opposed to an "actual" discernable or measurable quality difference. You are saying exactly what I have described, that there is no real difference in quality. I'm glad if you had actually...

Well, "perceived" quality implies that there is no actual difference in quality. Car film applications tend to show quality rather easily whether it be the edges of the films being tucked in where applicable, or precise fits and finishes elsewhere. Poor installations are noticeable...

Yeah, I think that would be the best option but also very expensive on the Model X windshield compared to getting a sun shade.

Is anyone using something to block the sunlight coming in through the Model X's huge windshield and heating up the interior and possibly degrading the leather, etc while being parked in sunlight for hours? I have been looking at a bunch of options specifically for Xs and not sure which would be...

Perhaps this will help. PPF would be worth the money if you get a lot of small rock chips etc that is not strong enough to puncture the film, which is shown well in the video. However, in the case of bigger dings and scratches that would penetrate the film, PPF seems like a waste of money. On...

Maybe they really are shitty employees and I have no stake in it either way, but I think your response to them was equally bad, if not worse. It probably would make even the best of service people not want to help you any further. "Try to get it on video" doesn't sound rude to me. It sounds...

Wow, sorry for the accident. If your insurance has a forgiveness policy for single accident after a long time of no accident, perhaps filing a claim would be good. If not and the repair isn't too expensive, paying out of pocket could definitely be cheaper in the long run. Even if Tesla isn't...

Ah, I see. Also nice to know I can upgrade them later. Thanks!

Is Tesla shipping the X with the new charging ports that don't need an adapter in the US? I think they were called the CSS2 ports? I'm supposed to take delivery this Saturday and am wondering if mine will need the adapter.

I'm supposed to pick mine up there on 2/25.
