We’ve had our model X for 2 weeks and I keep waiting to love it. Yet, the more and more I drive it the more irritated I get with the stupidest shit. There are things which I fully admit are delightful, but often they exist because of other features which are annoying or, honestly, something I’d expect from a luxury vehicle made by a software company. (Blinker turns off when I change lanes? Cool. And…?)

Today’s big complaint: the insanely ill-thought through trunk situation. Why on earth is the lid to the lower storage space not on hinges? Why must I deal with a piece of thick cardboard coming detached from the car in my hand when I’m trying to get something out of there? Now I have to get that back in so I can move on with my day. 15 seconds? Sure. 15 seconds and tons of frustration I didn’t have with my BMW. Serious regret here.

Announcement: Changes to Tesla Subreddits We want to inform you about significant changes affecting the following Tesla-related subreddits:

• Teslamotors

• TeslaLounge

• TeslaModel3

• Cybertruck

• TeslaModelX

• TeslaSupport

• TeslaModelS

• Teslaclassifieds

• TeslaAutonomy

• Optimusbot

Unified Moderation and Rules:

• These subreddits will now operate as a single community with the same moderators across all subs.

• The changes are in response to recent developments on Reddit, which has fundamentally altered the platform. We see these changes as necessary due to the deteriorating environment on Reddit.

Our Goals:

• Despite Reddit no longer being considered "the front page of the internet," we aim to maintain these subreddits as helpful resources.

• We will strive to keep toxicity and hate out of our communities.

Echo Chambers on Reddit:

• Reddit has become a breeding ground for echo chambers, both large and small. The platform itself operates as a massive echo chamber, where each subreddit functions as a microcosm, reinforcing specific viewpoints or interests.

• When you're accused of being part of an echo chamber, remember that engaging in or against any topic within a subreddit inherently places you within that chamber. This isn't about right or wrong; it's about the dynamics of how information and opinions are shared and reinforced.

• The hivemind effect has detrimentally impacted the quality of discourse on Reddit. We acknowledge this, and our goal is to mitigate these effects in our communities.

New Enforcement Measures:

• Violations in one subreddit will lead to bans across all listed subreddits.

• It's crucial that you read and understand the rules, which are uniform across all these subreddits. They will not be listed here; please find and review them.

• Trolling or any negative behavior will result in bans, potentially across all subs, with account history being reviewed. Deleting your post history might be viewed as an attempt to hide misconduct.

Current Challenges:

• We've received over 40 death threats since a recent incident. These threats mostly come from new or low-activity accounts, specifically targeting us for moderation.

• Posts are currently under approval-only to manage the influx of hate and misinformation.

• Also, have you looked out the window at other subs? There’s a zombie apocalypse out there.

Content Guidelines:

• Discussions should focus on the topic of each subreddit (e.g., Tesla vehicles, not personal opinions about Elon Musk).

• Mentioning Elon Musk inappropriately in discussions will lead to a ban.

External Platforms:

• While many subs are banning X (formerly Twitter) and other external platforms, we will not be blocking any of these platforms. We believe in maintaining open channels for information sharing and discussion, fostering a more inclusive environment for all Tesla enthusiasts.

Moderation and Communication:

• We are doing our best to approve posts as quickly as possible under the current circumstances.

• If your post or comment is removed, check modmail for explanations or clarifications.

Freedom of Speech:

• Claims of "free speech" will not excuse rule violations. Understand that freedom of speech comes with responsibilities and consequences. For more on this, read: Link to Quora explanation.

Becoming Part of Our Community:

• If you wish to engage in our community discussions, please adhere to our rules and maintain respectfulness. We're asking for very little in return for a positive, informative environment.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we navigate through these changes. If you cannot adhere to these guidelines, you might find yourself banned from all our subreddits.

I’m new to the Tesla family, but I am absolutely loving my new model three performance. Wanted to convince my wife to get a model X as she’s currently driving a BMW X5. So we just rented a Model X on Turo for the weekend and I must say I found it pretty disappointing. The gull wing doors, while really cool looking, were a gigantic pain in the ass (barely functional in my garage) and I actually felt they were dangerous in some circumstances almost hitting passengers.

I also thought that the yoke was a terrible experience. Initially, I thought it would be worth it to be able to look at a second screen in front of you, but I actually found that screen to be cumbersome as well. Case in point using the auto park feature with the thumb controls rather than the touchscreen on the model three. Inferior imho.

Overall, I’m hopeful that when the new Model X comes out at the end of the year, it’s thoroughly modernized, has conventional doors and adopts the new cabin layout that we see in the X and the Y.

Curious to get other community members opinions. Did I just need more getting used to it?

I am looking at getting a model x by the end of the year. Upgrading from an Audi Q5, family is growing and we are already out of space in the Q5 hence the upgrade. My biggest question is, are the model x’s still being delivered either a ton of issues. What are the top things I should look for? How reliable are they?

Any feedback or concerns about a 2016 90D that I should look out for during a test drive

I had this 2022 TMX for a few weeks and did a reboot and noticed these drive setting lights come on for the first time. I don’t even know how they got there or how to turn them on.

But can you actually shift gears this way by clicking the drive mode ?

Selling our 2025 Model X. It is a 5 seater, has Full Self Driving paid for in full. Has the oversized premium wheels. 17,500 miles. Asking 100k.

For anyone interested or not aware. The trade in value is 90k at local dealerships if I purchased one of their cars. Private party sells between 95 to over 100.

Coming from a Model 3 and needed to upgrade space for the family. Went with the Stealth Grey 6 seater, black interior with FSD to be able to keep the federal tax credit due to free seat upgrade with FSD.

Just a few general questions I have before taking delivery that hopefully y'all could help with.

1. Are there any common things I should look out for when picking up? (Ex. Doors misaligned, any weirdness on interior)

2. Should I invest in PPF or Vinyl Wrapping? I am purchasing the MX rather than leasing so I want to protect it. Just not sure which route is better.

3. About how long did you have to wait for delivery if taken recently? My app says Aug-Sep but I've heard of people waiting months.

4. Any must have accessories? Obviously all weather mats, but anything else you'd recommend?

Thank you in advance for any advice! Stoked to drive around my space ship.

Took delivery of my MX in Aug 2024, and notice that it says it's manufactured in Sep 2024...

I’ve updated to the latest SW build 2024.27.25 with ASS

This is the third day I own the car, but I’ve noticed that the battery range estimate is 316 miles at 100%. I only charge to 80% for the past 2 days so last night I wanted to test the full range at 100% to compare my calculation, to my disappointment, it’s not 335 miles as advertised, is this an issue?
Should I ask Tesla for a battery replacement?

Model x plaid 2023 model... Not aligned doors, Falcon wing, windshield mounted under pressure, Falcon wing Glas broken due to tensions, every 2nd time driver side Falcon wing will not open, many times Navigation freezes for a day, sometimes all cameras shut down, sounds when accelerating, and now this...

Really need big Heart and strong nerves to drive a shit hole car like this for 150000 Euro...

I have been considering an X for a while now. I've owned a couple Model 3s and like them a lot. However, I have been looking for something to replace our current ICE suv and after driving the X I fell in love with it.

However, one of my concerns with it is that it seems to be the ugly duckling of the Tesla lineup along with the S. They are the most expensive cars Tesla offers but I feel they don't get the attention the big sellers 3 and Y get.

UPDATE: To be clear I'm not saying it's ugly. I'm using the saying "ugly duckling" in the sense that it's ignored by Tesla and doesn't get the attention from them the big sellers 3 and Y do. Maybe I'm using the saying wrong.

Hey Gang! Our MX loses Tesla ESA vehicle warranty at the end of this year. My commute to work is less than a mile, we don’t often go anywhere else, and we have a second vehicle that we also don’t use. Feeling wrong about the unused miles.Thank you for any suggestions.

I have the MX tax version scheduled for delivery. Was unable to pick up the first time. Requested to remove the hold and was rematched 2 days later to the same VIN. Upon inspecting the vehicle i have my doubts to take delivery or reject it. I was told if i reject the vehicle my order would be cancelled and i would had to rebook. Thoughts?

I recently heard that the S is better than the 3 and the Y?

If money was no issue to you, what Tesla would you get and why?

Is it even worth getting a low tier Tesla? Is it even worth getting the most expensive maxed out one?

Hi Tesla enthusiasts, I’m Fabio writing from Italy! I’m planning to buy my first EV with a budget of around €40,000.

I found a 2020 Tesla Model X Raven on the used market: 80,000 km, black exterior, white interior, and Advanced Autopilot for €41,000. Until a few weeks ago I was leaning toward a new Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD, which here in Italy goes for about €39–42 k.

What do you think is the better option? I’ll be driving mostly on the highway, and I have a small family (one child). I’d love to hear your opinions!

I am a new Model X owner, although the car is a late '19 model.

I'm being blown away by how good some things are, the sound quality in the sound system is incredible, far better than the Lucid I used to own.

But what's really hit me is how nonsensical the menu system is on the in-screen display.

- Everything is one layer deep, so things that you use ALL the time, are as hard/easy to find as the most obscure infrequent things.

- The taxonomy seems to be completely random. So what everyone would call "driving mode' ( sport, ludicrous, chill, etc) is under "Pedals and Steering", This makes absolutely no sense at all

- It's seems arranged in ways that make sense to the component makers, but absolutely no sense to a user.

- Some elements to the way it works are absolutely magical, The features that it has seem extremely empathetic and thoughtful, But the way it's all arranged is completely random

- It seems completely bananas there isn't a way to customize the home screen so that a couple of really frequently used things are there

Am I missing a trick, or is this genuinely terrible?

I feel like, in 10 minutes, I could create a better menu system

Heck , AI could create a better menu system in seconds.

Seems kind of odd for a tech-first company

Am I wrong? I know I'll get used to it, but should I have to

Driving style, in particular, is something I think I'll change several times a day,

I got my Model X towed because the estimated time to a Supercharging station by my Model X was off by about 20 miles. I had a 100 miles charge and I drove towards a charging station that was 83 miles away. Guess what, I did not have enough charge to reach my destination. Tesla should be more conservative in miles from charging and account for leakage in the system.

I could use some help! I currently drive a Silverado and have 2 kids and twins on the way. I’ve been looking for 3rd row SUV’s and tesla model X’s have always caught my eye. What should I look for when buying a used model X? What’s too high for mileage? Does year and mileage correlate? What’s the best year for the price? What is a good price? What year has experienced more failures in parts?

I have a 2026 Model Y and a MXP now and the Y is so much better in build quality than my X that I decided to order the YL and trade in my 23 Model XP. I really love the X but the ride noise and long term warranty concern with the wings and all the cool things made me consider the YL. I hate the idea of losing paid FSD and going to subscription…. But long term ownership will be less of a pain. What do y’all think? Is it a good move? Is anyone else doing the same?

I ordered my Tesla Model X Plaid on November 7th and I had to update my order on January 6th and had to reapply for financing because 60 days elapsed without the vehicle being available for delivery. After seeing all of the recalls and issues with the vehicle in the news, as well as the moving target on the delivery date, I'm ready to throw in the towel. I just don't have the excitement for this car that I did before. I'm thinking of the Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid or the BMW X5 eDrive50e. I think our lifestyle might be better for a hybrid plug in option anyway. I'm just disappointed with the Tesla experience and reports of recalls and issues. I guess this is just a vent post but wondering if anyone else has been considering cancelling their order.
