@gazepdapi looks great. I tried it with my X but gave up on the doors as well. Looks like the lights in the doors on the X don’t have the s are light connector as the others / model S. This would mean I guess to do it we would be splicing into her wires.... Is this what you found too? I had...

Yes @Pismo i did this with my 2016 MX after others here confirmed. You remove the bumper bar. Then install your hitch in its place. The strength of the hitch and the bumper is roughly equivalent and they serve the same purpose. Those with the trailer hitch package direct from Tesla do not...

@TOBASH i have been following the ModelX tire / wheel / efficiency / expense drama for years now. To date I have never ever seen anyone get 19” rims with all season tires (only winter) to see if it results in more efficiency/range. If you go through with your plan you would be the first owner...

Right there with you @AAARSINIC I remember when you and i were getting ours. Mine was delivered dec 20th and does have a December build date. Yet somehow E battery. Dang it! As far as I am aware we have 1 person confirming with a service person that it is indeed the F battery that gets it...

Do you know what battery revision you have @dsexton ? I’m also a mid-Dec delivery and have been on 2020.12 for a few days but no update. However i am revision E battery. No one has figured out how the range change is applied.....

So....... i guess this event never happened? No one knows still what they did to increase the range. Come on TMC. Somebody figure it out!

I also have a Dec 20 2019 MX with the E battery. Just got the update and no change to range. There is another thread where some folks have mentioned that Tesla was telling them they could “pay for a hardware change” to get LR+ range. I wonder if there is a paid upgrade coming for folks like...

So how’s it going @engle ?

Wait until January :)

what should be a reasonable tread depth for a new car delivery with continentals? Anyone have advice on when to make noise on this? I assume 11?

To be fair this was 2018

I’ve owned my MX for 3 years and am looking to buy a new one mainly for larger battery. First piece of advice is to definitely make sure you go long-range. Every mile of range is important in MX. I’ve had my current car in for service I want to say 5 times total. Very good in my opinion. As...

Everyone here is patiently awaiting our friend @shiftelectrics to post about his delivery happening today. Let us know what you think of the new seats as we are all very anxious!

You can kind of see a third row of seats?? To date I don’t think anyone has a clear image or video of how they pull off a third row in this car.

Great news!

I’ve searched high and low the past 3 years for someone who has run a model X with 19” wheels and NOT winter tires. To date no one has done it. It would be huge to know if someone does.

I’m in the same exact situation as you @AAARSINIC except a 2016 MX 75D. I’m also thinking about cancelling my order for December delivery of a new long range model. Same reason as you. I wonder if when this comes out if it will only be at the insane performance / ludicrous price point. Or if...

I think that for Teslas the issue is going to be a steeper cost reduction curve the first 2-3 years of ownership vs comparable ICE cars. The new technology and ever downward pricing will always hurt more in the first few years. However holding the vehicle for 6-7 years decreases the pain. The...

Wow! Awesome detail. Now I think I totally get it. I definitely want to try this now!

@VelociRabbitt i am dying to do this project!!! So so cool. I’ve read your excellent write up many times. Thank you for helping all of us think through this and emulate your awesomeness. I did have a couple of dumb questions if you could help clarify: For the dash light why did you place...

Same here

I agree with your assessment @mrod1975

I did upgrade my 60D to 75D. It was not a new car. I also appreciated the uncorking and performance boost. Supercharging in this X is the slowest of all Tesla’s. My biggest regret was not buying the biggest battery so I can Supercharge faster. That said the speeds have improved recently...

I could not make it with the 60D in Texas. I had to upgrade it. One thing to keep in mind is if you drive anything like a normal person you will never get the rated range. You will get less. This meant there were road trips that were impossible in the X as a 60D. I got tired of not having...

You should be able to upgrade the 60D to 75D for $4500 (unless the price came down since I did it). This would make this vehicle like a $62-$63k range 75D I personally think it’s worth less though due to AP1 and no FSD

224mi range at 100%. Dec 2016. 39k miles.

I have to decide in the next 9 months if I am buying the extended warranty on my Dec16 X. I am highly considering rolling the dice and not buying it. Don’t forget there is a visit charge with every visit to the service center under the ExtWarramty ($200?). You would need the charger to fail 3...

This does not seem excessive to me. Maybe slightly but not much. This is ~7.7% degradation at 70k miles. I have the same year model x but 75D. Ours has suffered about 6.3% degradation at 38k miles. So not too much more for double the miles as mine. Seems about right I am thinking.

+1 for Norm. Mine is great.

Yes. The 0-60 uncorked is 4.9 sec. prior to uncorking it is 6.0 sec. I remember someone described it as not being blown away - but more like this is how the tesla was supposed to feel all the time. That’s how I feel. The car was a bit of a letdown in the acceleration dept corked. Now it...

I finally convinced myself to do the upgrade. I recently did a drive from TX to FL with a packed car and would not have made it without the extra range. The thing you guys need to remember is that the 60KWh level degrades as well. If your 75KWh number is now 212 then the equivalent 60KWh 100%...

Your video sounds just like mine which is a 2016. It always sounds like a jet engine - but it cools the car great here in TX. I think this is normal.

We stopped here this evening around 7:45. Sun was still shining a bit. Walked the two kids and grandpa over to the Target and got a few things. By the time we wanted to leave there were still enough people in the target parking lot that we felt safe so walked back and even hung around the car...

Hey gang! Just wanted to let everyone know the bridge is done. Just stopped there this evening and getting access to the CSB and supercharger was not an issue. Hooray!

So my experience last year was that I pulled into the parking lot next to the SuperCharger willing to pay for parking. My charge was low and I planned to charge after the game. But I also knew I would not be there long (it was a biz event). When I approached the parking attendant she would not...

For the record there are 19” tires that are all season that support the MX’s weight and speed requirements .... but no one willing to try them all season. I’m betting there is a range boost for the first owner bold enough to give it a shot

@akhafagi if you succeed in putting 19s on your MX for all season (non-winter) use you would be one of the only owners I know of to do this. Tire and wheel options are pretty limited for this super heavy SUV. I’ve searched every forum post or blog possible and have not found evidence to date...

Swung by this morning. All 12 pedestals are up. 4 people working there today. They told me “it should be opening real soon” so things are making a lot of progress.

Also check out this one: Awww crap, I painted my Calipers

Model X? Someone on this thread already asked if simple things like plugging the port would work on MX. I pulled off the rear speaker cover on the FWD but could not find a port to fill. Tried pulling off the drivers side speaker cover and just could not get it off. Perhaps this is either not...

Was this spray paint or a brush application? I’ve been thinking about doing this as well but don’t want to remove the calipers - want to paint while attached. For that the brush option seemed best to me I am guessing? Less prep needed. Would love anyone’s thoughts on the above

I have used a “cargo carrier” before as suggested by IdaX. However the problem with the OEM hitch is that it only supports something like 120 points tongue weight. That means after the ~60 pounds for the carrier you can likely only put 40-50 pounds until you are in the danger zone. I...

Yes @LCR1

This is on the east side of the tollway at the corner of Parkwood and Legacy. The construction basically faces Parkwood. Not a huge space. I’m guessing 6 spots..... not sure

We are officially under construction! Swung by today. They are tunneling under the street from the transformer into the garage. All three Dallas locations in progress at the same time. Cool!

Hah. Two other threads on this already. Everyone is excited. Looks like the Southlake store.... 257 Grand Ave, Southlake, TX 76092

Wow! Been wanting to see one in person. Does anyone know which store? I’m assuming Northpark but who knows...

There are many many many many forums on TMC and Tesla about the terrible situation we are all in with Model X tires. It's my most frustrating part of the car. I have a pretty detailed post out in this thread: 20 inch Rim/Tire Replacement Strategy Basically everyone hates the ContiSilent...

This issue has been discussed in the Draw-Tite thread in the model x forum as well. The consensus was also that it is illegal for Tesla to invalidate warranty for the entire vehicle for installing a hitch. And likely that this issue was isolated to the Torklift product. I installed the...

Still haven’t locked in our plans for an April trip. I think we are going to stay the night at the Radisson as they have a free shuttle and have said I could be plugged in. But ultimately I’m considering the fact that maybe it won’t work out and also have the backup plan of just parking and...
