    Thank you, thank you, thank you for the luggage clips! When I got my Mercedes GLE 53 AMG home I was disappointed to find out suitcases turn on their side would not fit in the trunk! Nice to see that clearance between the bag wheels and the trunk door in your normal travel config.

    Interesting... I've had Teslas for the past four years. My experience has been stellar! Any issues were quickly resolved, the staff was personable and professional and I was always offered a loaner. I've been buying cars for over 50 years and these cars have been the best supported I've ever owned.

      My previous Model 3 was near perfect. Both Model Y we owned had some issues. All service center experience with those three cars have been fine. But for whatever reason, both our Model X not only has had more issues but issues with the service center. We've been going to the same service center location for all our Tesla cars. 🤷‍♂

    2023 April Model X Plaid.....Tesla repurchased it due to several issues. Had the same 'creaking' noise, but this was not the reason it was repurchased. The car was great, looked great but with the rattles and constant issues I was glad to see the back of it.... Have a Rivian now, never looked back !! (You know LOL)

    I got my 23 X after watching yours. FW doors were perfect. Have this rattle from the panel behind the 2nd row, steering wheel buttons started to vibrate and rattle, and this random clicking from the front axle, but they were all fixed by the technician and even got the updated steering wheel. I had great experience from the Fort Worth SC. It seems the X requires average 2 SC visits from what I read online.

    • @sherwinm
      @sherwinm  3 місяці тому

      I don't know how I feel about the Gen2 R1S except the camera improvements. They got rid of many standard equipment and made them optional/add-ons. I guess it's a good way to lower cost if you don't need them. I think it's still tight in the back with the 3rd row up. I think EverydayChris has a video comparing the two with luggage space. I had a quick look between gen 1 & 2. A sales guy was showing me the differences. I was going to demo drive but I didn't have enough time. I was at service for something... video soon.

    Bro, if you dont use your Model X for a week or two, parked in the garage, is it better to leave it plugged in or leave it unplugged?

    • @sherwinm
      @sherwinm  3 місяці тому +1

      When we went to PI for a month, I just charge both MYP and MXP to around 80%. Vented the windows, unlocked, and sentry mode off (at home inside the garage). I looked on the app a few times. I think it drained like 10-15% in a month. I can't remember. I may have done a post about it but haven't released the video the day I came back. This is before the recent update that the car will go in a deep sleep when not used for a couple of hours
      www.reddit.com/r/teslamotors/comments/1e5z313/tesla_updates_app_to_v435_no_longer_wakes_up_the/
      If you want to plug it in, you can plug it in either to your wall connector or the 110W plug. It'll just charge if it drops below you charge limit. The biggest drain to battery when parked is sentry mode and cabin overheat protection. It's about 7% loss daily with our MXP when we're in Vegas - every 24 hours it's just parked.

    Curious why you decided to get another X after so many problems with the previous one.
    We had a terrible time with our last Y that was close to a lemon law buyback, and Tesla was dismissive and really hard to deal with.

    • @sherwinm
      @sherwinm  3 місяці тому

      We came from minivans and love them. We're not going back to gas so the closest EV in size was the Model X (at the time we got our first one). Then Rivian released the R1S. At the time we got our Plaid, there were no Rivian locations nearby. I wanted to be ready just in case I had issues with Rivian and driving 1.5 - 2 hours one way to the closest Rivian service center was not an option. So we got another Model X. Also the Plaid was cheaper than the R1S I configured.
      They recently opened a Rivian location nearby that's why I got a R1T. This should have been the truck instead of my Model Y Performance. But I love my MYP and the value tanked on it plus it's paid off, I might as well keep it and continue to use it as a daily driver and use my truck on the weekends and when we need to do truck things so I leased one.
      Unless Tesla improves quality and service, I doubt we'll get a third Model X. Rivian R1S or even the Lucid Gravity may be an option in the future.
