    Have MYLR, thinking about buying MX

    If you do more highway driving and longer road trips, go with the MX - it is more comfortable in all aspects and its added range can make a difference compared to the MYLR for certain trips. City driving and tight parking spots, go with the MY as it is much easier to maneuver in confined areas...

    Discussion: Model 3 Price reductions - Jan / April / Oct 2023 and all other pricing discussions

    I believe the discount is determined by the VIN - with older VINs getting the larger discount - but I would expect that all these vehicles were built within a few weeks if not days of each other. All these prices have the same specs: M3 RWD MSM/Black 18". I am thinking that by showing the...

    Discussion: Model 3 Price reductions - Jan / April / Oct 2023 and all other pricing discussions

    Just did another inventory search for M3 RWD - and found 11 different prices. Tesla is applying discounts in exactly 1% increments. I wonder if we will see $34,701?! $35,090 10.0% $35,480 9.0% $35,870 8.0% $36,260 7.0% $36,650 6.0% $37,040 5.0% $37,430 4.0% $37,820 3.0%...

    Discussion: Model 3 Price reductions - Jan / April / Oct 2023 and all other pricing discussions

    I placed an order for an M3 RWD on Sunday (Dec 3) priced at $36,260. All paperwork was completed on Tuesday (Dec 5) and was scheduled to pick it up today (Dec 6). This morning, there were one or two M3 RWD priced at $35,090. I asked if they could match the price but was told that prices are...

    Water leaking through roof via falcon doors

    I had the same issue - resolved with FWD adjustments. It did take two or three visits to fully resolve the leak.

    Can't find cybertruck reservation

    Mine is still showing up - and as previous post stated, the order page has been locked-down thus you are unable to make any changes to your original reservation. You should have an email confirmation when you submitted the order, which includes the order agreement along with the CT model and...

    Tesla Wall Chargers with 2 Teslas - Advice Needed

    Since you already have a wall charger, I would suggest that you keep it at 60-amps and mount it so it can reach both vehicles. Then use a mobile charger for one of the vehicles for day-to-day charging. This way you, when you really need it, have a faster way to charge your vehicles with the...

    Replaced Steering wheel tearing again

    Tesla is working on an updated version of the yoke steering wheel with improved materials - which are expected to be available in October 2023. I was asked to resubmit a repair ticket in October to get the updated part.

    FWD is opened during drive on freeway.

    In one of the software updates in 2022, Tesla added a warning message along with the speed limited to 5 mph I you drove with the FWD still open.

    '23 X vs '23 Y

    I have driven a few older MS's - I would easily choose the new MY: faster computers; faster super charging; longer range; feels more solid; and the heat pump.

    '23 X vs '23 Y

    I don't know if it's the MX suspension, the extra weight, or both, but to me it feels more solid in fast turns, but the MY is not bad. The regenerative braking on the MY is more aggressive, which I assume is due to lesser weight, so it is probably easier to drive on twisting roads as you can...

    '23 X vs '23 Y

    I have both a '22 MX and '22 MY. Aside from the major difference in price, they are both great vehicles. The MX is wonderful for highway driving but I prefer the MY in city driving, especially with smaller parking spots. For the driver and front-seat passenger, the field of view through the MX...

    Water leaking through falcon door (when it is closed)?

    I had the same problem. I had to take my MX in twice for the problem to be resolved. One of the issues was in the driver's door. Open the driver's door and look at the top-right corner: You will see the gasket the runs around the entire door frame but also there is a plastic/rubber piece the...

    dl_a175 / Cruise Control Not Available after 2022.36.2 Firmware

    Had the same issue several times with my MX - under both the current (2022.44.25.5) and previous FSD release. Tried opening and closing all the doors but it did not appear to work - it just started working again the next day. I brought the MX in for service - and since the AP was working at...

    Weatherstripping Coming off Leading Door Inside Edges

    I had the weather stripping on one of the front doors replaced on my 2022 by a mobile technician. The factory weather stripping is attached to the door using 3M double-sided tape (Red).

    2021 MX 13K miles need new front tires

    Costco does not do alignments. Tesla can do it as well as most automotive repair and tire shops. I am guessing that with the OEM rear tires showing minimal wear after 13k miles, you may be able to get at least an additional 20-30k miles from them. If that is the case, and you want to save...

    Do I need the keyfob on the 2022 refresh MX?

    I think once you get comfortable using your phone, you will no longer use the FOB. That being said, using the FOB to close and lock all the doors is much simpler than using the app.

    Any other owners second guess if their next car should be another Tesla?

    Go for it! The major problem with my MY is when I get in and press the brake pedal, the door does not close!!!!:D I have had zero issues with my MY so far, I wish I could say the same about my MX - but I really enjoy both vehicles.

    Just got FSD Beta 10.12. Performance more than disappointing.

    I received the FSD Beta while my car was parked for a few days in a parking garage - I was surprised that the update downloaded over LTE as there was no Wi-Fi access. Anyway, I started the update from that app remotely, but I don't recall ever having to accept any agreement either to start the...

    Passenger Side AC Not Cooling

    I would suggest that you have your system checked for a refrigerant leak. The refrigerant is running in a closed-loop system and does not "consume" refrigerant during use; thus, any depletion of refrigerant is due to a leak. The leak could be as simple as a loose connector to a failure of a...

    Just got FSD Beta 10.12. Performance more than disappointing.

    Another option to switch between Beta and non-Beta is to create a second user profile (where you set the seat and mirror positions). Many of the vehicle settings, including FSD Beta, are profile dependent.

    Full PPF Wrap vs Clearbra

    A reason for having the doors fully wrapped is to also minimize scratches around the door handle caused by finger-nails and rings. I was provided with a black M3 loaner - and there were noticeable scratches and scuffs around the door handles. I am still trying to master the most effective...

    Picked up my MYLR this morning! Everything looked great on the vehicle. It drives much smoother and quieter than the 2020 M3 loaner that I have been driving while my MX is being serviced. The MY, as expected, has the AMD Ryzen processor and laminated side-glass on the front-doors only. Being...

    Rear license plate grommet - round peg in square hole?

    I was at the local Tesla service center today and I noticed on a MX Plaid that was awaiting delivery that the rear license plate attachment has changed. The new system is a black plastic frame, the size of the license plate, which is bolted to the vehicle. The plastic frame has four metal...

    There were a number of MXs built at the end of '21 the were missing parts so were placed in storage. When the missing parts arrived, they were first applied to MXs that were currently on the production line. At some point earlier this year, Tesla started installing these parts to MXs that were...

    No, you should receive the VIN a week or two prior to the start of EDD window - unless you are assigned a VIN from a vehicle that was declined at your local SC. Shorter EDD windows (< 14 days) generally indicate that a VIN is forthcoming, but as with most things regarding Tesla orders, it is...

    Rear license plate grommet - round peg in square hole?

    Make sure you are using the correct size grommet, which is smaller than a "standard" grommet which usually comes with license plate kits. Picture attached of the correct part.

    That might be the source of the noise! Now got to see how easy it is to remove the covers - it appears to be held on by two screws, but I am sure there are some other hidden fastners.

    How was the source of the noise located/identified? I am guessing that this must have been the plastic covers in front or behind the battery pack?

    The HEPA filter is located between the firewall and the air suspension tank. You can easily see it with the rear frunk trim panel removed. What I find interesting is that HVAC air intake is located "inside" this compartment, unlike the refresh Model S air intake which is located on the trim...

    I too have noticed this sound, but only when there is no one sitting in the middle seats. Which makes me think the noise is related to the middle seats. I was thinking about placing weights on the middle seats to help isolate the noise, but have not got around to it yet.

    Has anyone actually taken delivery in April 2022?

    Hmm, unless I am mistaken, Seattle would be considered "closer to California" and I would even dare to hazard that it would be also be considered on the west-coast? April, being the first month of the second quarter, and April 6th being the first week of the second quarter, would place it very...

    Has anyone actually taken delivery in April 2022?

    Tesla plans their vehicle deliveries to ensure that the maximum number of vehicles are delivered to buyers at the end of each quarter. You will notice that locations further away from California receive deliveries earlier in the quarter and those closer to California receive their orders toward...

    It was there on version 2021.43.101 - when I first noticed it (after several hundred miles of driving), I wasn't sure what it was until I noticed that it turned green when braking (regenerative). Like almost everything else on the MX displays, it would be nicer if it were a bit larger in size to...
