    Tesla knows MCU with eMMC Fix Still has Problems (we need NHTSA to force the fix)

    Can anyone advise me what to do? I have had numerous issues with the MCU1. I have the automatic screen reset while driving, the black screen of nothing works. I have received their message of we know it's the 8gb card issue but we don't have enough of the 64gb and wait email. At this point, I'm...

    Tires are Already Bald After 14523 Miles in Less Than 2 Years and? Is this Normal?

    Yeah i don't understand what the big deal or little deal the speed ratings are, For me I don't think I'll ever touch 100 much less 130. Depends if you're a speed demon I guess, either way, it's miles better than the Contis. Tried out the Zero plus yesterday, I'm pleased with them so far and...

    Tires are Already Bald After 14523 Miles in Less Than 2 Years and? Is this Normal?

    DC Goo, thank you for the Italian translation, I know Spanish as well (same definition as Italian), lol. All good though. As I stated my two priorities for a tire is noise and tread life, That's the reason I went with the Zero instead of the Verde for the noise part over the treadlife. Not sure...

    Tires are Already Bald After 14523 Miles in Less Than 2 Years and? Is this Normal?

    I couldn't decide between the Verde Plus, Plus II or the Zero Plus. There is so much info and everyone has different takes on the various points of why a particular tire is good compared to the others, even within the same brand. I ended up ordering the Zero Plus since I'm in LA. I've reached...

    Tires are Already Bald After 14523 Miles in Less Than 2 Years and? Is this Normal?

    Quick question, I’m about to send the car into a tire shop (America’s tire or American tire depot). What are questions I need to ask in order for these shops to install the tires correctly? Still debating which exact tire to purchase. My two most important factors are road noise and tread life...

    Supercharger - Pasadena, CA (LIVE 26 Nov 2019, 24 urban stalls)

    FYI everyone, came here tonight thinking the arms were going to be up but all entrances are automated now so charging parking fee is in effect. Super bummed it’s not like Burbank where you can go charge the car without parking fees. It was good while it lasted, I guess attendants are out of a...

    Model 3's Ride Quality

    I have owned the S, X and got the invite to put in the 3's order. Tesla ordering agents are really aggressive. Perhaps my only wishes about the Tesla vehicles would be that the ride is more in line with the higher luxury vehicles like Lexus, MB, Caddys and adding additional standard features...

    Supercharger - Burbank, CA - North Third Street (LIVE 14 Sep 2017, 20 V2 stalls)

    Tonight I was parking at the first stall with the four parking/ charging stations and found a dirty diaper and trash. Really pisses me off that someone would leave behind that crap. So Freakin disgusting. On the other hand, there was a grey 3 parked in one of the stalls. Not impressed by it...

    2” hitch receiver

    From what I was told at the SC, although I can't confirm it since I haven't looked online for it, was there is a much stronger inside bumper reinforced piece that they replace on the one that came with the car. They would have to remove the rear bumper and whatever else they have to do just to...

    Just got MX 90D and love it. But so many problems on forum?

    I read a report by a reporter on a business app that reported that Tesla decided to scrap the last safety test out of the 3 that they had originally planned as to prevent further delay/ release of the MX. They felt that the first 2 safety tests were good enough that they deemed the last test was...

    Just got MX 90D and love it. But so many problems on forum?

    Hello Tesla MX family, What I have to share I would classify it as more of a concern than in the complaint category. This past week while driving back from Dodger Stadium with my family in the MX, there was a sudden loss of power and eventually the car slowly shutting down while going 65 on...

    How To Manually Open Tesla Model X Falcon Wing Doors Without Power

    I was just thinking about this yesterday while reading reports of some drunk driving incidents on the So Cal freeways this weekend. Tesla has made it somewhat complicated, instead of a wire, they should have a ring at the end of the wire or some kind of handle that can unlock the door faster as...

    Tesla X - dangerous Cruise control, Autopilot and Self driving..

    Thanks VBXATL, I discovered that last night lol. I'm not in Range mode, it's never on. There isn't a DRL option on the lights part of the screen like the MS. Just something I noticed.

    Tesla X - dangerous Cruise control, Autopilot and Self driving..

    I was driving my recently acquired X last night and decided to use the AP. The AP was fine, what bothered me was disengaging it on the control lever. Coming from a MS, the MS has a button that you can press to turn off both AP and cruise control at the same time, the MX does not have this button...

    Does anybody NOT wrap their cars?

    Here is what an installer of PPF posted in a Nissan GTR forum, a great informative read IMO (this might be a bit dated though 2014): As someone who has installed and is an authorized installer for Nano-Fusion, Xpel Ultimate, Suntek and 3m clear bra films, I will suggest you think outside of the...

    Does anybody NOT wrap their cars?

    I wish I made it up but this is an example of what the installers told me. XPEL Paint Protection Film Sealant (16 oz.) - XPEL Flawless Finish Paint Protection Film Cleaner (16 oz) - XPEL Maybe it's just more money, it could just be vinegar and lemon juice, lol.

    Does anybody NOT wrap their cars?

    Regarding wraps, it seems that all the wrap installers mentioned that you have to buy this liquid and apply it 1.5 months to upkeep the wrap, it goes for $22-25 a bottle, not sure how many uses per bottle. From my research, XPEL Ultimate is 5200-5500, Xpel Stealth (matte) is 5400-6000...

    $200 tow hitch worth it?

    I have a question, can this part be purchased on its own? I don't need the towing package, I just need this hitch for my bike rack. Thank you TMC fam.

    What options/features are removed next?

    Jeff, I think you make a valid point in questioning why Tesla chooses to not step up it's interior game like the other luxury vehicle manufacturers. My dad told me that he was pleasantly surprised by the interior of the Genesis and how it was very similar to the Germans in terms of every facet...

    MX Imperfections: Some Perspective

    I'm conflicted just like some of you are regarding the quality of our Ss and Xs. Most of us feel like to pay 6 figures for a vehicle, there is that feeling that everything should be near perfect since we are spending a lot of money on this vehicle. The other side is that Tesla is still a new...

    Alliant Credit Union 1.49% for 72 months

    One thing I didn't appreciate about Tesla Lending is that they shopped all over the place with my credit and it came back 1.99% or higher, despite the high credit score (800's). I've taken a huge hit on my score for the next few months because of all the inquiries by Chase, TD Bank, US Bank and...

    Alliant Credit Union 1.49% for 72 months

    Bluewater got a fantastic rate for 72 months with US Bank, with TechCU it would have been 1.75% at 72 months. You can only get the 1.49% with TechCU if it was 60 months or less. Congrats Bluewater!

    Mindset Regarding Quality From Model S Owner

    Just picked up my X, a completely different car from the S. I have had the S since Jan 2015. A very well equipped S85, I am very happy with the car except two things. The build quality could've been better considering it was a $100k+ car and the seats. For a high end electric car, the seats...

    Is there a thread of GAP explanation and can someone who's a math geek among us, help us with a formula to determine what is the break even point of whether to purchase the coverage or not? Also GAP coverage is somewhat related to loans, so for those that want to start a new thread, please do...

    Alliant Credit Union 1.49% for 72 months

    I think everyone has their own situation where GAP might or might not be needed. For me, I believe that this coverage (GAP is not insurance btw), protects me in the event that I could be upside down on a loan. GAP coverage is a small price to pay compared to the thousands of dollars that you...

    Let me clarify, I placed the order on 12/31. The car was finished and delivered to the Tesla location two weeks ago.
