    Front Strut Rattle - SOLVED

    That sounds horrible, I don’t think it’s the same lose nut that I experienced. I wonder if you try to tighten the hex bolt at the bottom of the strut that’s connecting the strut to the bottom bracket? (Picture attached) Although I suspect the shock is moving within the housing and I don’t...

    Front Strut Rattle - SOLVED

    I bought the replacement struts from T-Sportline. They are Arnott replacements. They hey had the best price. In reviewing the Arnott’s to the OE Tesla struts. I couldn’t see a difference. Both have Bilstein dampers and Firestone airbags. The ride is very similar to the OE struts I had with...

    Front Strut Rattle - SOLVED

    I have been dealing with a rattle coming from the left front of my Model X P100D. It was very plasticy sounding that sounded like it was coming from just under the windshield. It was driving me nuts for a few weeks and after replacing all of the trim under the frunk and tearing the dash apart...

    Rattling coming from behind front passenger tire 2018MX

    I have the same rattle on the left side of the car. I had a Tesla tech drive it and he thinks it's the air struts. Although, he couldn't fully diagnose it because he didn't have the equipment being the mobile engineer. The cost to diagnose it was $250 from Tesla... I am trying to figure it...

    Looking at used Model X’s, looking for opinions / advice

    I couldn’t agree more. I have a Dec 2017 P100D with FSD which was upgraded to HW 3 and MCU2. It’s great, I do wish I would have bought a Raven motor vehicle because of the winter range loss due to not having a heat pump. But I bought mine at the height of the craziness so I bought the only...

    Buying a Model X P100D

    No I don’t, but I suspect that it’s around $1,000. But I’m sure if you search the forum it’s listed in a thread somewhere.

    Buying a Model X P100D

    No problem. When I first got my MX, the door sensors were bad and I have to tell you that when they don’t work properly, it’s basically an unusable car. I have 4 kids and I felt like shooting myself in the head for the week before I could get it into the service center.

    Buying a Model X P100D

    Generally it’s the front control arm bushings. Known problem on the Model X. Mine were bad at 38,000 miles. Had it replaced under warranty. I’m at 77,000 miles now, still no squeaking.

    Buying a Model X P100D

    That would indicate that it has Ludicrous+. It’s the same car I have. Great vehicle. Are you going to test drive it first? I highly recommend it. (1) Check the falcon doors for sensor issues by letting it sit in the sun for 5-10 minutes. (2) check if there’s front end squeeks when turning...

    Do short charging sessions damage battery?

    Thank you very much for this information. Makes a lot of sense. It’s spending dollars to save fractions of a penny! I stopped using the app after 2 days.

    Do short charging sessions damage battery?

    Thank you. I wasn't trying to clickbait anybody. I was just typing quickly and didn't review the title for punctuation. Paul

    Do short charging sessions damage battery?

    They go by 5 minute increments. You can just google "com ed hourly pricing" and you can see the 5 minute price.

    Do short charging sessions damage battery?

    Hey everyone, I just downloaded the Optiwatt app that schedules your charging based on the cheapest charging from my electric company (Com Ed). Is it ok for the Tesla to start and stop charging so frequently? It charging at the cheapest times. But if it’s bad for the battery, I’ll stop...
