Original Model X with MCU1 on latest firmware with Pixel 4 on latest firmware and experiencing the same problem. When switching between music, the Bluetooth volume drops to about 10% then goes back up to 60% . Starting with my Bluetooth volume at 100%, I did some testing, and here is what I...

Got the iOS updated version, like the cleaner layout!

What does everyone think of the MX service plan? Looks like the 4 year plan is the only option (at $3100) and thats only a $275 savings over paying for each service individually - unless those prices go up. Prices seem high for the work that has to be done. I'm opting to skip the plan, and...

Love driving my Model X in the snow! Feel very safe and in total control, even though I just have the all standard 20" seasons tires and not winter tires. We got some snow in Vancouver last week/this week and driving around has been fun. I didn't do anything crazy, kept speeds appropriate for...

Congrats! How are you enjoying it?

Anyone have thoughts on the defogger in wet/cold weather? I have the cold weather package find the defogging slow. After getting into car after it's been parked in the rain for awhile, the windshield and windows fog up a lot. I turn up the defogger at max fan speed and it takes quite some time...

Yeah 2nd photo is the door portion that rubs against 1st photo. Good idea about putting some film over it, will try to keep the damage in check. Sent pics to the SC. I have a 3 things for them to look at, next appointment will be in March :eek:

Any one else notice this with their falcon wing doors? Looks like the door alignment is causing the paint to wear out.

Anyone have problems with the driver side door window getting stuck outside the door frame? I've had this happen a few times, and again today. I slammed the door without realizing the window was popped out, and freaked out thinking I'd break the glass.

I got a reply to say that the plan is currently only for the Model S. I've been added to a wait list for the X.

I sent an email to ask. I probably should have read the papers -- to be honest I just signed everything quickly so I could get my keys and leave :D

Thanks for the link. I'm a bit disappointed I wasn't told about this when I picked up my car, as I would have prepaid for 3 years... Seems there'd be a savings as compared to paying $600 each time.

Keep us posted on how the cell signal saga goes. Annual service -- what do they do? What does it cost?

Don't worry, your car doesn't use your phone data :) Your car has it's own LTE data connection, and it sounds like Tesla is partnered with ATT. ATT then handles all the roaming agreements (with TELUS, Bell, Rogers, carriers is in Mexcio, etc.). What Tesla doesn't allow is for you to share the...

Good to hear that almost everything got fixed. I have two outstanding items -- my doors are misaligned now (noticed it after the 8.0 upgrade, coincidence??) and steering wheel rattles at high speeds (car needs balancing). Sucks to hear about the roaming. I've crossed the border a few times...

No P100D but I got my FWD window fixed, finally! Did you get your car back @SSD420, did everything work out?

This is a problem for me too! I hang my keys next to my door and it's within range of my X. So what happens is this: I park the car and arm it, then it comes back to life. I turn it off, and then a short while later it turns on again because my 2nd fob turns it on. LOL (well not really). I've...

I'm hoping for a P100D Ludicrous for my loaner :D

Fun post - my Model X is featured in a corporate video for Pacific Insight! They are a BC based company (HQ in Nelson BC) and make the interior lighting. They contacted @Paul Carter for a Vancouver area MX owner, and he contacted me and timing worked so they ended up using my car for their...

I don't use AP often enough, but on freeways it still seems fine. Interested to hear your take on it when you get your car back. I do have one problem with the upgrade, now that I've had a few days with it. The car will unlock when the keyfob is near by, the lights turn on etc. The problem is...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Especially thankful for the 8.0 upgrade, overall it's a great improvement Top 3 likes: New music interface is huge improvement, easier to get to favourites Falcon wing doors open faster UI looks better, feels faster / smoother / more responsive Top 3 dislikes...

Would be very interested to see it, have you shared it with the Service Centre? On a related note, has Tesla ever held an owners event where they talk more technical details about the cars? For instance, I'd really like the definitive answer on whether it is better to charge at a lower amp...

In case anyone wants to know what it's like opening the Falcon Wing Doors in a tight spot. This is a video I took yesterday. I was parked right up against the wall with a low ceiling (sprinkler pipes above me). The doors open part way and my son could get in without any trouble. An adult would...

$80K would be a steal :)

Good news, the trip from Summerland to the Hope Supercharger was much better! I arrived with 78km left on the dash display. I drove at or slightly above the speed limit of 120km/hr. A few cars did pass me, but I didn't let that bother me. They were the same ones that had to ride their brakes...

When I was charging today, in Hope, I got 442km/hr!

Thanks, will give that a try!

We made it with range to spare! Did a full charge in Hope while we had lunch at Rolly's. I checked a few times, it was adding as much as 320km/hr! But I stopped when I had 400km range because it started trickle charging (using 7amps) - I didn't want to wait around since we were done eating. I...

Hey all, I'm driving up to Summerland soon. Anyone free to meet up for coffee some time this weekend in the Summerland / Penticton / Kelowna area? I can't deny that I'm feeling some range anxiety. We will do a full charge in Hope and then use Range mode for the rest of the way to Summerland...

Did this stuff get fixed?

Congrats! My 3 kids know the sound and run from the car when they hear it LOL.

I've never used the little phone charger there, since I have cases on all my phones it doesn't fit. 7 days? What's your car in for? I'm still waiting for replacement glass for my cracked rear sunroof...

LOL, quite the passionate rant. It does seem a bit odd that we are reduced to bags and foam in a 150K car. I second the suggestion that Tesla does redesign or retrofit. I'd pay for something remotely useful. Keeping an eye out for after market options.

Good idea! I just happen to have a bunch of these lying around from some packaging. Will give it a try.

Thanks -- will look into that. Or maybe a 3D printed tray that fits that area?

The center console thing in the Model X is super annoying. Important things (wallet, keys) keep getting stuck in between the 2 sections, and it's takes some finger gymnastics to fish anything out. Has anyone figured out a good solution to keep things from getting stuck in there? Will take a...

Has anyone else noticed how much more you're driving with a Tesla? :D Maybe it's summer, but I've driven a lot more than I can remember. We take our MX on drives up to Cypress Mountain's High View lookout mid week, going over the Lions Gate Bridge at night and crossing back over the Second...

Got my first electricity bill from BC Hydro since taking ownership of my Model X. I'm billed every 2 months, and this cycle's total bill came to $282.22. BC Hydro charges a higher rate (Step 2) after 1350kWh and this cycle is the first cycle I've had a significant Step 2 charge, so I attribute...

YES! This happens to me all the time! The keys are usually in my front pocket, and if I'm loading something into the car it accidentally bumps and all the doors start closing. I now know to recognize the distinctive beep when doors close and run for my life when it happens :eek: LOL! But...

Will look into an RFID pouch, was meaning to get one for my credit cards anyways. The FOBs are only a month old, so hopefully it's not a problem with draining. I get the message probably 25%-30% of the time when I drive, I always reach down to make sure my key is there but otherwise I just...

Sharing some more of my Model X problems and resolutions. PROBLEM - The infotainment system started misbehaving. Music was chopping up, the interface started lagging and becoming unresponsive. The car started beeping and dining randomly, and it didn't turn off after I parked and took key away...

Thanks! I just signed up for Flo and downloaded their app. They charge $15 for the card, seems a bit pricey considering ChargePoint sends you one for free so I'll stick with only the mobile app for now. Looks like there are 3 stations in Summerland and 2 in Penticton, all of which are free to...

Parallel parking at a supercharger station? Hmm I'll get Internet shamed and keyed for sure :confused::eek: Will probably just unhitch prior to charging. Also those charge cables don't go very far, so it's necessary to back in. Too bad car won't auto park when there are no other cars around. In...

Looks cool. I was thinking of this: U-Haul: 4x7 Utility Trailer Rental Or this: U-Haul: 4x8 Cargo Trailer Rental For times when I need to bring a lot of stuff.

Happy Monday everyone, jotting down a few thoughts from my Model X weekend adventures. Supercharger Went camping this weekend and got to use my first Supercharger station in Squamish. This one was located in a strip mall, and we had dinner while the car got some juice. Wasn't very busy, I was...

Been seeing a lot of discussion in threads about etiquette around charge stations and superchargers. Is anyone aware of an app that allows you to find out how busy a charge station is, and if it's full a way to wait list yourself or post how long you'll be? Ideally, before I pull into a...

Congrats on your MX and thanks for the info! My Summerland trip is coming up soon so this is very timely info. I will take a full charge in Hope and ease off the accelerator for the rest of the way. The other consideration now is what to do once I am in Summerland for charging. My brother in...

Haven't measured mine, but see this post @pvogel has some good numbers: Model X Cargo Measurements

That would be cool! If you find one that fits the spot please share, as I'd be interested in getting one too. Powered would be a nice touch :D

I got the Igloo MaxGold Glide 110 Quarts wheeled cooler from Costco. It first perfectly in my MX. You may need to jam something into the sides to keep it from moving around, but if it's loaded up it won't slide around. Here's a photo: Instagram photo by @yz778 • Jul 4, 2016 at 3:23pm UTC
