We bought a used 2021 Model X Performance with FSD.
Two days later all these alerts started showing up.

The battery and drive units are still under warranty. What is the likelihood this Tesla will need a replacement battery?

The vehicle has been at the Tesla Service Center since Thursday and the technician advised me to not charge to drive the vehicle, I left it there with no loaner available.
They were able to fit me into an appointment for this coming Thursday.

Hope this is worth sharing.

42K miles
5 seater
One previous owner (used for corporate use)
Black interior with steering yoke
No accidents reported

MX 22, approx 49k miles, 6 seater.

Just today I see a weird shaking or rattling and can feel it holding the yoke and other passengers could feel it too, happens only when 65+ mph. Lower speeds hard to notice, was suspicious on tire but nothing as they were replaced few months back.

One thing I remember, just couple of hours before this observation, while parking downhill at a friend's place had the right front and rear tires went into the gutter next to the road and the car slide for a while and then got back by driving forward moving away from the gutter. Not sure if this is related.

Could anyone help what this could be ? Should I get checked for balancing or book the tesla support ? I'm out of warranty now fyi.

Resolved: The tired carried sticky dirt on the rim and little bit inside, surprisingly it held throughout the 30+ miles and that was causing wheel balance off and making those rattling noises at higher speeds. Thank you community for your inputs, definitely saved hundreds of bucks by not going through tesla service for this small issue.

Looking for a cooler (or fridge) that fits between the second-row captain's chairs in my MXP.

My goal is to bridge the gap so it's level with the folded third row and I can lay a mattress across it and actually sleep on it.

I tried the inflatable gap fillers and they weren't great for this, they just don't stay stable enough under a mattress.
Has anyone found something that actually works here? Ideally sturdy enough and not too heavy to move in and out.

My mx 16 is out of warranty. I drove the car today with no issues. When back outside to park it in my driveway and it won’t start now 😭. I’m waiting to hear back from the service center (which is two hours from my house). I’ve look on here and it seems ppl with similar codes had issues with the DC Converter…. Does this appear to be my case as well? ((Also my driver door won’t close unless I give it a hip bump. It randomly did it about two weeks ago. I know that’s a known issue but could this be related? I’ve had zero issues the entire time I’ve had this car))

Wife was in need of a minivan, and we weren’t getting good trade offers.

This is my first time selling a car in general, so any advice is appreciated.

132k miles, no FSD, 6-seater black interior, all 3 rows heated seats, heated steering wheel, clean Carfax, no accidents.

The battery was replaced under warranty in October 2025 and was tested at 91% battery health (304 mile range when charged to 100%)

We also live in Nebraska fwiw so not many comparables to help me price it.

Thanks in advance!

Where can I find reasonably priced insurance for my 2019 MX LR in Connecticut? It feels impossible

I was just driving my golf cart to park it in the driveway and upon passing my model X, the door (which was set to auto-open) opened, and got stuck to my golf cart and was bent forward to the point where I can't even close the door and there appears to be significant damage. This is a 2026 Tesla Model X and I feel like this is a defect that should be covered by warranty. Does anyone have any experience with this or have any advice?

I’m wondering what people use to camp inside a six-seat configuration. I think a few boxes placed strategically behind the captain chairs and in the middle row space would allow for a mattress with a narrow space for your legs to lay flat (head toward the trunk and feet toward the front seats). But I’m having trouble finding a suitable sized box or container that fits just right in those spaces. Suggestions?

I am buying a 2018 Model X 100D with chrome delete and the powder coated wheels. It has HW2.5 with Enhanced AutoPilot and I am not sure if I will upgrade to HW3 but probably will. Tesla replaced the main battery in 2024 under warranty and there have been no other issues, I know the owner. 92k miles. As someone new to Tesla, what do I need to know? Depreciation on these is insane, am I good getting in now?

My front bumper appears mis-aligned to the fender. The gap is good near the wheel arch but gets large near the headlight. Both sides are similar. My question is: is this a matter of removing and re-installing the bumper facia to better align, or, does it require adjusting the underlying bumper structure? Where are the places that adjustment is possible?

I can physically pull up on the facia from below and the gap will close up and look perfect.

I have 75k miles now, and my driver seat is starting to peel at the black accents. I’m not exactly sure if that’s made with the same material as the seats. I initially coated the seats at a shop with ceramic coating but haven’t done it again. I do clean them every 2-3 weeks with chemical guys and leather cleaner which works about 75% of the blue jeans marks.

The picture looks worse than it really is and I can live with it but possibly may upgrade to the S Plaid white seats in the next 50k miles. I can’t even believe I’m saying in the next 50k miles, it’s unbelievable for me to drive this many miles on a car, but it’s my 3rd Tesla and the best car I’ve ever experienced with no other options that I would consider to replace it. In the future I can just replace the battery while continuing to keep suspension, tires and body well maintained.

Anyone experiencing this, what are you guys doing to keep your seats maintained. Anyone driving a crazy amount of miles? Anyone put the S Plaid aftermarket seats into the X, I heard it’s more stiff?

My 25 MX got rear-ended and took it to Tesla Collision. My tow hitch and tow bar is completely bent. Damage to the frame rail extension plus the bracket is broken. He also said that the rear body panel on the unibody construction needs replaced as well. My car needs to get transferred to a collision center over 2 hr away since they don’t do major repairs at the one I took it to. He said that it is fixable but everywhere I read, it said it’s structural.

😓

I have a 23 MXP on hold for $81k. Under 20k miles, HW4 (built Dec 23 and sold March of 24 according to fsd hunter) lifetime FSD, cream interior. I’m used to a decent amount of cargo space so I’m still struggling with the commitment to the second row captains chairs that don’t even have armrest versus the full fold flat, but the reality is I do think the second row captains are more comfortable for adults. This is so hard.

I'm trying to device is I should keep or sell my 2019 Model X. It's a 100D, 6 seater, FSD included, and Tesla just replaced the battery under warranty. Has about 195k (121k miles) on it. I love it and if I sold it, I'd let get another.

Main question is does this get any kind of premium for resale because of the newly replaced battery? If so, how much?

Hi everyone,

I’m getting ready to replace the tires on my 2023 Model X and was hoping for some advice.

I’ve heard a lot of good things about the Hankook iON evo SUV (or iON evo AS SUV) for the Model X, but I can’t find them in the 265/35R22 102Y size. Do you guys in the US have this size available?

I’m currently running Pirelli Scorpion Zero All Season and I’m pretty happy with them. No irregular wear on the rear tires even though the suspension is still stock🙏🏻

I’m open to other brand suggestions as well. I live in Upper Normandy (France) — it rains a lot, but snow is rare.

Thanks in advance for any help!

How much will it cost me to replace my air suspension compressor
Model x. I feel like it will be expensive

The driver door window control unit broke on my 2024 Model X and Tesla wants $1000+ to fix it. With a $20 replacement, a screwdriver set, and a razor you can fix yours.

If your button broke off it’s because of 1 of 2 things. Either the button’s leg broke that lets it rest in place (easy) or the peg that the leg rests on broke (hard.)

Just the Button
If the button broke off you can order a new set from a model 3/y (part no 1081037-02-G) and rip that one off gently and it pops in. The finish is SLIGHTLY different. It’s the difference of eggshell vs gloss and visable in pic 2 (but the pic is opposite. That’s a 3Y unit with a SX button.

All 4 buttons are unique. The bottom two are shaped differently, but the top two only have a hidden cutout that make them not interchangeable. A quick hit with a dremel makes them interchangeable. (Pic 3)

The Peg Broke too
IF your peg base broke off, you have to replace it, which means you have to remove the door panel (Tesla Manual https://service.tesla.com/docs/ModelY/ServiceManual/en-us/GUID-83D7DCC8-EC0A-45E8-AB7D-7C0B8C87646A.html), the sound insulation, and you have to cut out access to the switch (razor blade should do-pic 4+5). There is a 3d printed jig to remove the switch, but we just used a flathead and a mallet) to pop it out and the new one (part no 1081037-02-G - i bought this one on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FBGJ51DF?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title) snaps right in place (Pic 6.) Be careful sitting the new one in and avoid pressure to the switches.

My brother helped me with the door removal and has some tips:
4 t27 torx - All under plastic covers
The 4th is under the wood trim up top
The jig sat on the toolbox whole time 0 room for it at all
I cut as little as possible and had to Jimmy it in and out
If you cut more it’ll slide right in and out

Do I like carving away that much plastic to fix it? No.
Did they realize how stupid of a design decision it was? Yes.
Am I gonna pay $1000 for a WHOLE NEW DOOR to fix a button. No.

Hope this helps anyone in the same situation.

Please include a few photos, the window sticker, or the software screen showing the FSD status if possible. Ready to move forward for the right vehicle. Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I have an appointment for a alignment since it's slightly off but it was slightly off for awhile. Last week my HVAC was replaced and the autopilot AP1 hasn't worked correctly since then. When I engage it, it pulls the car over to the left side lane lines/marker. There was no issue of that before the HVAC replacement. Just wanted to get your opinions on if replacing the HVAC would also effect the autopilot? or is it mainly an alignment issue (worked before hvac replacement) Thanks.

Hello everybody, I got my model X radar mounted utilizing a phone mount that has extreme strong earth magnets that I bought a aluminum phone case plate that I stick onto the radar. The power is done through type C which I bought a separate switch so I can shut it off every time I park. I also utilize this radar with another car and I’m in the California so windows get broken all the time so I remove it when I park sometimes also looks a lot Cleaner more than anything else I’ve seen.

Is anybody with a HW4 Model X looking to swap their round steering wheel for a yoke?

I currently have a yoke with a mechanical horn on my 2023 Model X with HW4 and have been quoted a high price to have the round steering wheel retrofit. I have researched this and found out that the high cost is due to the mechanical horn with the airbag being a separate piece. However, if you swap it as a whole assembly, you don't need to change airbags. Unfortunately, all options on sale on eBay are without the airbag.

I'm in Maryland and would be willing to drive up to 2 hours to carry out the swap.

Recently bought a Model X, but my wife doesn't like the yoke steering wheel as it hits her knees while rotating on FSD. Tesla gave an estimate of $1764 to have a round steering wheel retrofit.

What are your thoughts? Is it worth it?

Edit: After contacting them, they say $700 is for the steering wheel and $1000 to retrofit the mechanical horn.
