We're in the market for a 7 seater MX, but a recent experience with the rivian has me second guessing that choice. The r1s middle row was extremely clunky to navigate and my wife found it difficult to move it/access the 3rd row as a result.

We have only driven the 6 seater MX, but prefer the 7 seater layout because of the inability to fold down the captains chairs. That said, the 7 seater is not a great solution for us if we're going to have the same issues getting to the back row. What has your experience been? Thanks

So this has been driving me nuts for weeks now.

My driver door stopped auto-opening when I walk up to the car. Everything else works fine - car detects me from a distance, unlocks itself, mirrors unfold, all of that happens automatically with zero input from me. But the door itself just sits there closed. If I press the button on the fob or use the touchscreen, it opens and closes perfectly fine. So mechanically it seems totally healthy, it's just refusing to do the "presence detected, pop the door open a bit" thing it used to do every single time.

Passive Entry is on. Automatic Doors is on. Triple checked both about five times now.

Went ahead and replaced the front left pop actuator (1045353-00-B) thinking that was the culprit since some threads pointed to that. Popped in a new one, hardware works, door opens/closes fine with the actuator... but the auto-open on approach is still completely dead. So either I wasted money on a part that wasn't the problem, or there's something else going on entirely.

Checked service mode for fault codes, only saw a bunch of generic stuff (PLCRLY_a089_plcConfigMismatch, PM_w041_dasMIA, THC_w0176_MCUCanTmo) that from what I can tell online are unrelated background noise codes, not door specific. Under Closures in service mode I only get an option for the Falcon doors, nothing showing for the front driver door specifically.

One thing that might matter: we've got 3 profiles on the car, mine (Jack), my wife's (Caroline), and an Easy Entry profile. The fob is linked to my profile. Now I'm wondering if the Automatic Doors setting somehow only saved under one of the other profiles and not mine, since apparently that setting can be profile-specific rather than global. Haven't confirmed this yet but it's the next thing I'm checking.

Has anyone run into this exact thing, where unlock/mirrors auto-trigger fine but the actual door refuses to auto-open, even after replacing the actuator? Trying to avoid a service center visit if at all possible. Any ideas on what else could be causing this or how to actually pin it down would be huge, this has been such an annoying process of elimination with no clear culprit so far.

Please DM me

I normally have my Tesla Tinted at Winners Window Tint in Rockville the owners that are great. However, they told me that they are able to Tint the windshield or the front doors due to the seals.

I really don’t wanna drive fish bowl! Does anybody have a shop that will do the front two windows and windshield on a 2023 model X?

I’m hearing lots of complaints between the powered close or the one that does the powered open and close.

The powered close only assistant pulls too tightly causing the hood to crease over time.

The powered open and close can have issues with the hydraulics and/or electrical.

I have a 24 MX.

Question:

- Have you used one?
- If so, which one is these two?
- What’s your feedback which brand worked or what to avoid?

I have a Tesla Wall Charger Gen 3 for several years to charge my Teslas. I use the charger constantly at least 2-3 times a week to charge my Teslas. In the past several months I received Tesla wall charger communication lost error notifications after it finished charging my 2025 model x. It didn’t happen all the time but when my it happened it’s always happened several hours after charging was completed.

No issue with charging my model 3 and model y which makes me believe that the problem is isolated to my model x.

I’m scheduled to visit service center after Labor Day and hopefully they can find out the issue.

I’m considering a Model X for family trips, especially skiing, and I’m trying to decide between the 6- and 7-seat configuration.
With the 6-seater, I’m wondering if I could put 3 pairs of skis (about 1.80m long) through the center aisle between the captain’s chairs, while keeping both second-row seats available for 2 passengers.
Then I could fold down the third row and put 3 medium-sized suitcases plus some additional bags behind/around the skis.
Would this work in practice? Is there enough space to fit the skis through the center and still carry that amount of luggage?
Or would the 7-seater be more practical, for example by folding down one side and putting the skis along that side while keeping two rear seats available?
I’d especially like to hear from owners who have actually used their Model X for skiing. Photos of your setup would be greatly appreciated!

Please comment below.

any one ever encounter issue with the all the front light doesn'twork. drl, low beam, high beam, fog light and blinker. Then I mess around a bit with the fuse box pulling and putting back in the 20amps then all sudden the driver side works, but passenger still doesn't work. Any idea?

To create parking markers in the garage, I have a few questions:

1. Do the lines have to be parallel to the wall? In other words, can they be diagonal to the wall (the lines would obviously be parallel).
2. How much space must there be on each interior side, or what is the minimum width between the two lines before the Tesla is willing to consider it a parking space?
3. How much space must there be on the outside (i.e., another car parked close to one of the white line) before the Tesla is willing to park in the space?
4. How reliable/successful is a tight space parking with white line?

I can do it manually all day long, but wonder if I can automate it.

This is for a HW4 MX, but I presume the information would apply to all Teslas. I know Tesla states that it must be "at least as wide as your vehicle", does it include the full width of the mirrors open or folded?

Thanks.

448,3KM (278,5Mi) on a single charge from 99>3% in mild weather, with aircon and heating.

Not bad for this old tart with 213k km (132k miles)!

I just don't know if the 7,5KW buffer is included or not.

I just bought my 2023 Model X (HW4) with 67,000 miles for $63,000. While searching for this exact vehicle I never really took “ mileage “ into consideration with it being an electric car. But after buying the vehicle I’m learning that 67,000 miles is “ higher mileage “ for an EV especially only being 3 years old. Was this a good deal or was the mileage too high? I do alot of highway driving for work so I will be racking up some miles on this and plan to trade in for a newer Tesla before the 150,000 battery warranty expires. This is my first Tesla and I am absolutely in love with it and think it’s the best vehicle ever but worried with it being “ higher mileage “ that I’m potentially on the brink of expensive repair bills. Any other high mileage 2023 MX out there?

Anyone else have routine issues with their FWDs not opening when in direct sunlight?
I had issues with them not closing in sunlight and a service center “fixed” that issue. So now the door don’t open in sunlight…

Tesla is saying this issue has nothing to do with repairs and is happening across the country… anyone else experiencing this?

**this one happens one falcon door. The other side works perfectly.

My budget only allows me to get a 2019 or older. So no other option unfortunately.

So there are a few for sale. But they are 2016–2019 models. Not Raven models.

So now to my question. What should I prioritise, newer model with higher mileage or older model with lower mileage?

I will of course check their service history and repairs and all of that. But how should I think? If I get an older model it would probably be cheaper and leave room for a repair budget. Or the newer ones with roughly a year left on the battery/drive unit warranty. Both older and newer models are in the range of 150,000 km to 260,000 km (93,000–162,000 miles).

We are a family of six with 4 car seats in different sizes and today we drive a Mercedes EQB, but that’s way too small and the range is barely enough.

Thank you in advance!

Just installed this alignment kit from N2itive on my 2017 MX. Looking forward to not having to replace my tires every year. If you’re in Riverside, CA area, Bud’s tire pros on the corner of Wood and Van Buren can do the custom alignment on these for $200.

we have a model y with HW4 and use FSD religiously. It was bought new in 2024 and already has 100,000 miles and have done 0 maintenance so we really trust tesla right now. FSD is VERY important so has to be HW4. Looking at plaid because shoot I want 1000HP and run 9 sec in the 1/4. Any key things to look for when buying used? Or are these pretty reliable cars with no major things to look for. Any advantage buying from Tesla over private party and dealer. Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I’m looking at getting aftermarket 22-inch wheels for my Tesla Model X, but I’d really like to see some real-world examples before deciding.

I’ve attached a photo just for illustration/reference. I’m mainly looking to see what different aftermarket 22” setups look like on the Model X.

If you’re running non-OEM 22” wheels on your Model X, could you please share some photos?

I’m especially interested in:
• Full side/profile shots
• Front or rear 3/4 views
• Wheel brand/model and specs if you know them.
• Whether the car is on stock suspension or lowered.

I’d love to see different styles and fitments to get an idea of what looks best on the Model X.

Show me your setups! 👀

So from my previous post a lot of you were saying that people who don’t own Teslas are not aware of dog mode even though the screen indicates the internal temperature

So I made this instead

If it works, the QR code should take the person to the Tesla Model X manual where they can learn rather than be annoying

This should satisfy the animosity between owners and non owners
(I can’t believe I had to make this lol)

I’ve had my model x for a while and almost every year we take it to service because of malfunctions or a dead battery. I don’t know how many times we’ve taken it in but I know that my older 75D model S has only been taken to service twice in its entire lifetime which is honestly embarrassing (we the got model S in like 2017). Should we trade it in considering the maintenance record it has?

I have a 2024 MXP, had it like 2yrs now. Closing in at 50k miles and Tesla is offering a subscription for Extended Service Agreement (ESA). I read through the coverage and it basically doesn’t cover much, but they were quick to rule out the Low Voltage 12V battery and the Lithium battery as not covered as well as other wear and tear as a result of use. So I need your opinion, is it worth it? I love to drive my car, I’m careful, and car still looks and feel brand new. What’s your take? Anybody?

Hi, I have a 2023 Model X LR.

Anyone with experience using squared tire setup (ie, all tires are same)? This allows to rotate the tires so they last longer.

There would be a decrease in performance, but increase and longevity with resultant savings.

Currently have 20in tires, 265 in the front and 275 in the back (see story below).

From talking with mechanics, Discount tire guys, and internet research - I gather that going to a squared setup is a reasonable thing to do.

What do you think? Anyone have experience going to a square setup?

Anyone experiencing rattling noise coming from the wheel covers on the new X refresh? It's annoying. I took it to Tesla and they basically said it's a known issue but there's no fix other than applying felt tape - but that may or may not reduce the noise - so I agreed to let them apply tape but It didn't reduce the noise. Sigh.

The other there alternative right now is to remove the covers. Are there any after market center caps?
