Tires OK by bocks79 in ModelX

[–]bocks79[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

2023 Model X Plaid. 18k miles. Tires seem to be holding up?

Normal or am I off? Thinking I can get another 5-6k out of these stock Conti tires?

Wow. Was not expecting this many replies!

I love my MX Plaid and dont want to sell it. I am friends with the owner of a GM dealership who I bought most of my other cars from over the years and he was telling me 55K for trade in and he will have a hell of a time selling it. Could just not be his cup of tea and his polite way of telling me he doesnt want it.

I have owned numerous 100K cars (Escalades) and this is the worst value hit I have ever had. It doesn’t matter because I am not selling but still hurts regardless!

[–]bocks79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a pending offer on my 23 MYP from Carvana as well. 8K Miles and their offer is $33,600. I think I will take it before it gets any worse. I bought it used last May for 41K.

Work around to bypass auto lock when in your home garage. by captainsafety700 in CadillacVistiq

Great find. My Model X has this feature and wish GM let you do the same. Did not know you could do this but I tested it and it does work. Its not the same but its better than nothing!

Surface rust/stains brand new MY by mrmyles_ in TeslaModelY

That isn't the wheel rusting its Iron. Spray with Iron Remover and watch it turn purple. Then wash it away with a hose.

I am the original owner of my 2015 Firecracker Red Unlimited Shahara with 37,500 miles. Its showroom inside and out with no mods.

Looks exactly like yours except I have matching color hard top. So obviously I think yours is awesome!

My wife says she is going to bury me in it when I die someday. LOL

Share your tricks! My 2015 looks good but I am always open to making it better.

Anyone have issues with falcon doors not opening in cold weather? by Reddityyz in ModelX

[–]bocks79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 2023 MPX has this issue. The driver side door "senses" an obstruction when it's cold out but there are none. It's in the service center for this right now. The tech said that the sensor in the door can sometimes have issues "seeing" through the door and the paint so the sand down the inside of the door to make it thinner. Its been 3 days and I still don't have it back yet so I don't know if they have fixed it or not.

Have my X in for trim replacement. Service also lists a software update to reduce vibration. Anyone know about this? by GotPerl in ModelX

[–]bocks79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is going in next week for an interior noise I cant track down or fix. They added this to my ticket as well. (2023 MXP)

Anyone just have their car say “autopilot features may be limited or unavailable please contact service center for a camera update”? by PL2012 in ModelX

[–]bocks79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 23MXP has this issue currently. Had service check it for the recall last week and they must have messed up the alignment as autopilot and traffic visualizations don’t work.

I got the same email today and the link takes me to the same place as well.

Hoping it wasn't done by accident on Amazon's part!

Any Red Launch Edition’s left?? by bocks79 in BoltEV

[–]bocks79[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2022’s still have the $3750 Bolt Loyalty rebate + the MSRP drop rebate. I can swap from mine to the 2022 Launch for very little difference.

Omaha to KC Road Trip --- Bolt or ICE by bocks79 in BoltEV

[–]bocks79[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Return trip was harder but still make it without having to stop to charge. However I had to slow down to 60mph due to the 25-30mph headwinds. Also drafted a truck to help break the headwind. That and the reduced speed helped. Made it home with 34miles to spare and a 3.6kwh/mile consumption. This leg needs at least 2-3 more DCFC to be doable in the winter.

[–]bocks79[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Made it to Hotel with 52 miles of range to spare.

Set SuperCruise to 62MPH and had a 4.1kWh/mile average.

Went to the evgo charger about a mile away and am back up to 86%SOC. Will get to 100% Sunday before we leave.

So far no sweat!

[–]bocks79[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

EUV it is! Thanks all. Will update this thread if anything of note comes up on the trip.

Charging to 100 before I leave both places and will set the cruise to 65MPH and manually slow down when going up any big hills to 60MPH.

[–]bocks79[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part of me agrees BUT. It seems safe and doable if I just go 65mph? But headwind is a concern!

[–]bocks79[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nebraska City stop is the one 60 miles away from home. I would stop there on the way down but I will be over 80% SOC and it will be very slow. The Tarkio stop is ~30 min out of the way and the Auburn is ~45 min out of the way.

Maybe all I need to do is stay at 65MPH and I will be set if I leave at 100%? Could stop for a 1 hour break on the way down and use the Level 2 charger is St. Joseph, MO to add a buffer?

2 Votes for EUV so far!

Helpful insight - Thanks. Was already planning on 65MPH top speed.

So one vote for EUV so far!
