It's safe, until it isn't... meaning the problem is not a partial failure, but rather a complete failure/collapse with your stuff either flying down the freeway and hitting other cars -or- remaining attached to your car but being dragged and ruined. If you insist on taking this risk, then at...

You nailed it. ! I agree with 320 Wh/mile for MXLR.

What does Edmund.com say? In terms of financial value... 2018 with 42K miles vs 2019 with 72K miles... both same computers? Consider remaining time & miles left on battery / motor warranty. Otherwise, miles on chassis is more important than model year...

From your signature block, it looks like you are getting your dream Tesla this week!! Congratulations in advance!

Your dream Tesla is like you are in Hell and you look up and see Purgatory... it really looks pretty good... but your perspective is quite limited.... 😁🤓 My view would start with an X - LR (in this scenario, I am in Purgatory already and looking upwards to something better... 😁 ) : - Higher...

I have a 2022 with fobs. Wife uses her fob exclusively... batteries last about a year, similar to our 2017 X fobs...

One is 2017 and the other is a refresh - 2022. I am suggesting a rotating part in the drivetrain (including motors, shafts, disk brake rotors, etc...) One reason I mention this is that my 2017 X, back when it was brand new, after a couple of hundred miles, there was severe vibration from rear...

At bottom of driver screen.

I have two Xs and both are very smooth. I will get a slight vibration in the steering wheel which is solved by rebalancing the tires. There is a possibility that your wheel assembly / hub is out of balance... I have seen this in other cars. This is supposedly checked at time of car...

My X tires last 30,000 miles (I am on my 3rd set), Yes they do wear out 1st on the inside edge, but I estimate it shortens tire life by no more than 5000 miles. To some extent, this also impacts front tires also. (Yes, I have aligned, balanced and rotated my tires.) From a tire perspective, an...

Bump up... any ideas?

Any chance you "touched" the garage door stiffening bar with garage door already closed?

I think that's a dent... attached is my car. But you will have to double check, as it looks very symmetrical.

Here is an article that explains it: https://motorweek.org/goss_garage/flat_tires_-_to_plug_or_not_to_plug/ The cost at a tire store to repair a tire is ~$20...

My compelling answer: I somehow wrecked my current X and need to replace it...

I am looking for a cover for my cream colored armrest in a Model X - 2022. I have looked and I can find Black or White, but not cream. I need it as I have dogs and don't want the original armrest all scratched up. Anybody figured this out? Thanks!

Basically, others have said what needs to be said: 1) have a tire shop try to patch the hole (not just plug). 2) Must be inside the steel belt area (not near edge or sidewall). 3) General data says a blow out in rear is worse than front... but there are a lot of factors that...

My car was manufactured 3/24/22 and has the ethernet port. I want to add tilt screen. Is there a way to confirm what version control board I have now without tearing the console apart? (Maybe, I just need tilt motor kit and configuration change..)

We probably can't give an opinion as we all bought only one kit... so no basis for comparison. My 2022 X is now 2 years old and has had the Hansshow frunk opener for most of that time. Except for initial installation problems, it has worked flawlessly. It does have a couple of unadvertised...

I live in Laguna Beach and have driven to Danville. You should plan on a minimum of 2 recharging stops and a door to door time of about 8 to 9 hours. Interesting locations: - Harris Ranch, steaks & Salads. - Kettleman City, fast food joints. - Santa Nella, Anderson's Pea Soup or Mission de...

2017 with 76K miles... no issues with FWD... Great car for us. I am not sure how many more years they are going to manufacture the X...

FYI: I finally just drilled a small hole in the +15V post and used a bolt through hole to hold a fork spade crimped onto wire. Has worked very reliably since installation.

Do what he says... try it for 1 month free. I happen to like EAP and would buy it after the 1 month trial.

My wife & I prefer the dashboard layout of our 2017 over our 2022. Having said that, the 2022 X has other features that are further along than the 2017...

It definitely looks broken... schedule service and take clearer pictures and submit with your request.

Is outer edge of door aligned with the rest of the body? (especially near the bottom of the door) - If yes, then the problem is the latch mechanism has to be adjusted - I would have Tesla service do that. - If no, (door is sitting further into body than the front door and the back apron) then...

FYI: Pressing the emergency release on the inside of the frunk closes it. So I can use the app to open and the button to close. Also, the optional key fob opens and closes the frunk.

I have a 2017 LR 100D with 20" wheels. I have 75,000 miles and my 80% is 220 miles (100% is 273 miles). So, your 80% at 216 is quite reasonable. In SoCal, on a full charge (100% down to about 10%), I get about 200 miles - specifically, I can go from Laguna Beach to Buttonwillow supercharger...

Radio, WTF????? This isn't your father's Oldsmobile! It's a USER Interface... The whole Damn car is a computer on wheels... Get with the lingo... :) :cool:

For the fronts, we set the free length to exactly match the original strut assembly length. The adjustments I made to achieve battery height were done using the preload on the struts. These adjustments were relatively small, a few millimeters. At the end, I was convinced to focus on the...

Try to use the battery frame as a reference for height measurements. That is the car frame. The fenders are bolted on and have errors of their own. Also, I was able to raise/lower fronts without removing the struts and just using this small, inexpensive, tool from amazon. ATP MacPherson...

Here are pictures, basically, the car is slightly lower in front as compared to back as per spec. Rear height is preset by Tesla via rear springs.

MY LR.... the 75mm refers to the 4 locations to measure height (basically at the 4 corners of the battery plate.) The height at each of the 4 corners was close to 179mm. Will try to post pictures tomorrow...

Actually, as I wanted same load carrying capacity and ride height, I did not replace the rear springs - just the shocks. So, my height of the battery plate was defined by the rear springs. My goal was to get the plate square at whatever height it was. The fronts were a complete coil and shock...

Tires are about $1,500 for a set of 4 and last about 30,000 miles... So, tires are worth about 5 cents a mile... My personal idea is to not do a side by side rotation, but rather remove tires from the wheels and switch sides, so that the inside of the tire is now on the outside. I would do...

I replaced my suspension with Redwood Motorsports coilovers (Grand Touring) on my 2022 Y LR with 19" factory wheels. I have a couple of specific suggestions: 1 - give the suspension time and miles to settle down before getting alignment. I am thinking 30+ days and 1000+ miles. 2 - It is...

For '22 Model X I can tell you what works great: Buy an aftermarket shade that is slightly short of the camera. Use black Velcro to attach to the glass at 2 points in the back corners + 1 just above the camera ( about 1" square pieces). I sewed one side of the Velcro with black thread to the...

I would charge to 85%, ending up at 18%. I try to keep the battery in the middle of its range. Not sure how great of a benefit it is, we are just talking about small changes...

My recommendation is for your to go with option 1. In the extreme and unlikely event that you run all of your other breakers at full load, then the main breaker @ 125A will trip and protect you. So, I would not sweat it, (might be inconvenient or embarrassing, but not unsafe.) All of the...

I do this for 6 months in MA... No issues with it.

Remember the good old days, when we were all waiting for our X...I mean 365+ days... The excitement of the anticipation! That's all gone now...

yes... it goes like that... takes a few hours. I will message you privately

Call hansshow... on WhatsApp.

Because I can't see it, it's hard to visualize what you are saying is happening. However, I got the point that you're having trouble at the open hood part of the cycle. Synchronizing/adjusting those latches during the open and close cycles is the most time consuming part... be patient and try...

I am pretty sure your latch set up (existing + new hansshow actuator) are not mechanically set up correctly. The Hansshow actuator has adjustable cable length. Needs to not have any slack (i.e., it's ready to release immediately. ) If you contact Hansshow via whatsapp, they will help you...

I agree with everything stated. we upgraded the MCU on our X and it made a huge difference. In regards to warranty: you are still covered till 2025. So, I would say enjoy the car for the next couple of years and defer the decision to sell. At that time you will have even better cars to choose...

set your HOME and WORK locations. That should solve it.

So, did you get this information from the $17/hr advisor, the $20/hr delivery person or the $23/hr High Fidelity Stereo Shop Manager? 😁😁😁

In terms of energy losses that matter to you: It's the difference in voltage between the utility meter and the car charger that counts. That voltage drop times the amperage is energy wasted and that you are paying for while the car is charging. For example, I have a 6 volt drop at 48 amps -...

I have a 2022 MYLR and a 2022 XLR. The X is a better car than the Y, but is correspondingly more expensive. The Y is better for smaller outings (e.g., commuting to work). The X is better for longer drives and more passengers. I don't agree with Canikony. X is quieter and smoother than Y...
