    Interior camera blurry after being covered for months

    Before I got my free FSD trial, I had the interior camera blocked to prevent it from looking at my eyes when using autopilot. However, I just got the FSD trial and it won't activate FSD if the interior camera is blocked. So, I unblocked the camera and it is now blurry. I would think that this is...

    How to remove rear seats in refresh Model X?

    I drag race frequently and I was thinking in temporary taking out the rear seats (either just the back row or the captain's chairs as well) I have not found any videos or instructions on how to do that for refresh Model X Plaid or Long Range. Does anyone have instructions and an estimate on how...

    Finally got my FSD trial - Major school zone issue

    So, I FINALLY got my free FSD trial on my 2022 Model X Plaid. I used it this morning extensively and it's working amazing EXCEPT school zones. It completely ignores the flashing light with the school zone speed limits. Happened twice, on the way to my daughter's school an on the way back. 2...

    $35 solution for peeling yoke.

    The Yoke on my 2022 MX Plaid is peeling really bad. Opened a service ticket and was told that they don't have any improved yokes available. So, it may be a while until I get the replacement. Found a cheap solution for the peeling yoke For $35 on Amazon, I got this vinyl yoke cover. It's a pain...

    Peeling Yoke warranty replacement - updated materials?

    Does anyone know if Tesla already has an updated yoke with better material for warranty replacements? My first yoke was replaced 12 months ago and the replacement yoke started peeling again 3 months ago.. Makes no sense to replace with a yoke with a yoke using the same material.

    2022 Model X Plaid 30k miles, 19 month review

    30000 mile review of my 2022 Model X Plaid. Just over 19 months of ownership and 30k miles so far and I enjoyed every single mile. Now for the good and the bad. Let's start with the bad: As we all know, fit and finish is not Tesla's strength, so, some of the trim really does not line up perfect...

    2022 Model X Plaid - warm air coming out of vents with heater off

    This morning was a fairly chilly morning in Central Florida (45 degrees this morning). When I left home to commute to work, I had HVAC completely off but the windshield started fogging up and I turned on the fan (fan only, HVAC was set to cool with A/C being off and temp set ot 72 degrees) and...

    Alternate tire sizes for Model X Plaid?

    I frequently drag race and it appears that you can't get Drag Radials in the sizes that come with the Model X Plaid. I was thinking in getting a set of wheels and install 275/40R20 in front and 295/40R20 Nitto Drag Radials in the rear. Those would have a slightly smaller diameter. Based on...

    Making Forza Horizon 5 work on Steam in Model S/X 2022+

    Installed Forza Horizon 5 on Steam in my 2022 MX Plaid. When I launched it, it would not work. Figured out that I had to use compatibility mode. Once I did that, game ran perfectly. That game has amazing graphics.

    Unusual capacity/range gain on 2022 Model X Plaid

    So, I've owned my 2022 Model X Plaid for 16 months and 23200 miles. I do have an OBD2 dongle and SCANMYTESLA app, so I keep a close look at my battery capacity/degradation and 100% range. So, the Plaid degraded about 3 - 4% in the first year and my battery capacity was down to 91.4 kwh available...

    I did the impossible yesterday. I locked myself out of my Plaid!

    I thought that this would not be possible with a Tesla due to the way the access is designed. Lots of things have to happen for you to lock yourself out of the car. So, I was at a free CCS charger. Just before connecting the car to the charger, I checked on my Tesla app on the car and the app...

    One year with my 2022 Model X Plaid

    So, it has been 1 year with my 2022 Model X Plaid... I had a total of 4 service calls for minor and cosmetic issues. When I took delivery, the car had dents in the front bumper (likely from transportation) and Tesla paid to have it fixed at a body shop. I had 3 additional service calls which...

    New best 1/4 mile time with the Plaid

    Switched suspension to VERY LOW for racing and ran a new best ET. I'm over 230 lbs, so I'm not as quick as lighter drivers. [email protected] Another run against a AMG GT. Gave him a 1 second head start.

    OBD2 port on Model X Refresh

    Model X and S Refresh do have an OBD2 port. However, based on other posts here, it seems like the only way to hook up an OBD2 reader is by connecting a harness to the CAN bus under the main screen, above the wireless charging port. I wonder if there is any way to use the OBD2 port?? Why are the...

    Took the Model X Plaid to the Drag Strip

    Used drag strip mode to launch. Had some tire spin which limited my 60' time to 1.61 but otherwise, the only run I was able to do was not bad. 9.87@144 mph. With better traction, definitely a 9.70's car. Was planning on making 3 to 4 runs but it was a busy day at the track and many cars broke...

    2022 Model X Plaid, bluetooth not automatically connecting

    I set up my bluetooth connection between the Plaid and my phone and set my phone as the priority device. Everything worked fine but when I leave the car and get back to the car, bluetooth won't connect automatically. I have to go to bluetooth and tap on connect. Am I doing anything wrong?

    Sun block/shade for refresh Model X Plaid??

    I'm shopping for some upper and lower windshield sunshades/sun blocks for my 2022 Model X Plaid. As the design changed, I believe that the shades for the previous years won't fit. Does anyone have a link to sun shades for 2022 Model X?

    Many recycled VINS from buyers not being ready...

    I'm following some facebook Tesla groups and many people got their car earlier with older, recycled VINS. I believe that the collapsoing economy and stock market are responsible for that. I'm sure, especially in the high end car market, there are people who pay cash with proceeds of stock...

    Question for those with a Tri-Motor order

    It may be possible that the only 2 variants will be produced... dual and quad motor. I heard that they will also drop the tri-motor version. I don't think that they can make a 500+ mile tri-motor for $70k as originally advertised, so the way to get around that is to make a quad version which...
