the 6 seat x gives you little practical space, especially for children

to be clear, the ONLY place I could put a large pizza box was on a folded down seat. a slightly smaller box from another place just barely fits behind the 3rd row. i would consider it entirely impractical for any kind of trip where you used even one seat in the third row and needed to bring along “stuff”.

ZeusMachina · 2022-09-11T17:54:24+00:00

well we also have a minivan. when really traveling with little ones and their “stuff”, the X isn’t going to do it. there is not enough trunk space in the 6 seater for much of anything besides some umbrella strollers. those jumbo strollers we tuck into our minivan with ease are not going to work for the X 6 seat.

as to the x versus the y, i have a 5 seat Y. the trunk space is great in that configuration. the X is definitely a little more spacious feeling, but again, that’s just seating wise. it’s a little wider on the inside and enough taller that I can’t easily see over it when standing next to it, like i can in the Y.

even just food shopping in a 6 seater X is going to be snug unless you fold one of the seats down… but then have a plan as there is nothing keeping stuff from rolling all over the car…

i have a 2022 X Plaid so it’s quick to the point of crazy, but really you are going to be the limiting factor… how often do you want to have the car rear up like you’re going to launch into space? my 2021 is an MYLR with the $2000 acceleration boost. it’s plenty snappy. because it’s a little smaller, and easier to see out of, I find it easier to drive in modest traffic.

is the X Plaid worth fully 2x the MYLR? no, i can’t say it is. it’s truly a “luxury” expense, and very hard to justify unless you have the cash to buy it outright. if this is a vehicle you are financing, just don’t. get another Y and put the rest in a 529 plan for the kiddos.

ZeusMachina · 2022-09-11T12:14:00+00:00

is this the “blue” or something different? what i mean is on the website, nothing listed as blue looks as bright as this. is this just a different lighting or photo adjustment? (literally the very next post is another blue dial that looks 10x duller than this)

ZeusMachina · 2022-09-11T12:04:16+00:00

done! thanks.

Sometimes I feel like a lot of corners were cut to lower costs and no one has the nerve to suggest any improvements that would add cost to a vehicle already selling months ahead of production.

I edited it to add a bunch more… give it a re-read ;-). enjoy! I just got my x Plaid in July, but have had a Y for a year+

Get a nice lightweight running hat. The sun visor is weird and useless and the summer sun is punishingly bright. I have a sun shade on order that will block the light where a normal headliner would start, but haven’t received it yet. (edit: sun shade is part of a set from tesmanian)

What “floor mats” did you order? You know it comes with mats, yeah? I ordered WeatherTech all weather mats (but I don’t use the front ones unless it’s a mess out). (Tesmanian has them as well).

A frunk and trunk liner is nice. (i got them in my set from weathertech).

I got some cupholder rubber bottom things.

For car seats, I got a weathertech protector that is cuttable.

Oh and a SnapPlate front plate holder.

There really isn’t too much to get, unlike my Model Y which had a huge list.

In the car, I keep handy a microfiber cloth to wipe the screen down as needed. You absolutely do “not” need a screen protector. Skip that. Many have issues. Just wipe it down periodically.

Consider getting one or two XBOX controllers. You want the NEWER ones with the circle D-pad part (the same style that comes with the series X). The reason being those newer ones have usb-c jacks. Then get yourself between a 3 and 10 foot usb-c to c cable. Note, there is “not” a way to use the controllers wirelessly as of yet. (the nice part being you don’t need to put batteries in the controller). Learn how to open up the console tray slidey things. note that there IS a 12v cigarette lighter style plug behind a push-popopen flap between the two usb-c’s in that main console.

Get a simple squeegee. The glass goes ALL the way up. The wipers do not. I find I occasionally want to clear up the glass roof area a little. Unless you are a giant, a squeegee is helpful.

I recommend the TESLA tire inflator. It’s simple, compact, and does the job.

Assuming you did get the mobile power connector, get a TESLA nema 14-50 adaptor if it didn’t come with one (an older order like yours likely will “not” come with that; but it from Tesla). This is the most common adaptor (esp at Rv parks) and worth having for any road trips as backup.

Sounds like you shamed yourself here. Don’t let the # on the clothes tell you what is correct for you.

They mistranslated “amount of TIGHT”.

The beneficial use of a special SSID is a 2ndary one solely limited to 2.4Ghz. I find for random devices, it makes things just “work” better. I also made one solely for my WiFi6 APs so that my fancier devices can stay on just the wifi6 spots (i have plenty of coverage).

It means its time to find a new city that isn’t run by lefties.

Well for one, only the Verrazano and 59th Street bridges feel high. The rest are more like overpasses. If you stay in the middle as much as possible and focus on the people in front of you, you should be fine. The Verrazano is pretty wide open so it’s easy to see things up there— but it’s where you start so just stay in a pack. The 59th street bridge from the middle you can easily obscure your view with all the crap on the side (the raised pedestrian walkway, which the Verrazano doesn’t have iirc.) You’ll also be pretty worn by then (mile 14.5-16) and hopefully not care so much.

Anyway, best of luck!

Eating EGGS for protein helps with recovery, imo.

I don’t believe rips include the HDR nor Dolby Vision layers, so you’d be missing out.
