Keep my X or sell?

Dear Ann Landers,
My 2016 X has free supercharging. We’ve taken it around the US and put more than 50,000 miles on it using supercharging. Of course i got it originally hoping eventually to get fsd :(
I just got a new Y with fsd and love it. But now i have to choose between expensive long trips or self driven long trips.
I don’t really need 2 cars but I’m really reluctant to turn loose of that free supercharging.
What to do?

Installing fender garnish?

Anyone have tips or tricks for installing new fender garnish on the front? My plastic fender "garnish" ripped off on the highway last week. i have the new part (for both left and right sides, however, i'm having a heck of a time getting these things to clip into place. Do I just lack the grip strength to pop these back on correctly? I can get the clips in that are closer to the door, but the front part of the panel will just not seat correctly on either side.

Road Noise, rattles?

Ive been looking at Model 3's, I used to have a 2015 Model S.
It had a lot of rattles, it disappointed me, I paid 50k used.

I then bought a Lexus ES 350 - Driving on a cloud, I could whisper and be heard lol

Now, Im looking at a model X 2019 55k miles, 35k Price. FSD paid
Im worried Im going to regret buying it because of road noise people complain about.
How noisy is the X and what have yo done to combat it?

Foam tires for road noise

I have a 2023 Model X. Love it. Only things I don’t like is the road noise.

How much do foam tires help? Anyone do with and without and can say whether it was worth it or not?

Rear climate with child seat

Is there any way to get the rear climate to stay on for my kid? I have to manually turn it on after the start of ever drive.

If I turn it on with the rear screen it turns off when I close the rear door.

Same if I turn it on with the front screen.

I've asked Grok, and it said you have to enable Auto for rear climate - nope, same results.

I've tried buckling one of the rear belts but that doesn't work either.

I assume it uses the seat weight sensors to detect occupancy, and the car seat doesn't put enough pressure in the right spot to trip it.

Any workarounds? Am I missing something?
I feel terrible when I realize my 2yo is back there sweating 10 mins into a drive on a 90 degree day.

Am I missing a camera?

Tesla x plaid, 2024. My camera view only shows 8. Of the three cameras on front, the one on the left of the image does not show a view. The center camera is the right fender view, and the right camera (as looking at the image) is the left fender.

​

Reason I'm asking is it has a lot of trouble finding the edge of some roads when not in FSD. Irritating when it tried to correct and sounds an alarm. My son's 2020 model 3 has no problem on these roads.

Change to Yoke

I’m a yoke guy! My new-to-me 24 MXP has a round steering wheel that I’m looking to swap out to yoke. Tesla wants over $1000 to do the supply/install.

My year MXP has the mechanical horn so if course I’m limited to my style.

In general, I can buy a yoke from fellow owners or online sources but curious how it went for those that did the conversion yourselves?

Is the airbag transferable from the round wheel to the new?

I‘d be interested in the depreciation of Model X

Does anybody know a website or have data showing how the used market price of the Model X has developed over the years?

To me, it seems awesome that you can buy a Model X nowadays for such affordable prices—almost too good to be true.

Also, can prices realistically fall much further from current used market levels?
It seems like depreciation can only continue very slowly from here.
Maybe prices could even increase again in the future?
Considering there are no new Model X being produced anymore.

Anyone selling a 22-23 hw3 with FSD Model X.

I have a 2020 I love, but want faster charging. Don't really care about HW4, my nag module in HW3 is amazing. I figure if I can buy a newer model X I'll just sell mine. Looking for something with 60k miles or less.

What is the average Wh/mi on older Model Xs?

I just competed a one day beach trip with my family of 5 to San Francisco yesterday in my 2017 Model X 100D. I averaged 323 Wh/mi. Is this good? Anyone out there with older Xs? What did you get?

Weeks to replace Model 23X Battery

I’m just ranting! My battery died two weeks ago and is just sitting in service. Tesla called today and said two more weeks maybe there are t any batteries. Then they had the nerve to say how are you enjoying the free FSD. I laughed I said HW4 is better, but I had it on my car. This M3 is a little small. I had knee surgery and it sits super low. It does however have a lot of zip! Thanks for listening to my rant.

TLDR: 73K miles under warranty as it expires in 2028 or at 150,000

2021 6 seat MX Refresh w/ yoke 55k miles

I have the opportunity to buy from a friend but can’t find comparable cars to get an idea of price range. It doesn’t seem like there are many of this specific setup from 2021 - any thoughts? Doesn’t seem like there are any issues, just normal wear and tear.

I’d be upgrading from a 2020 M3 SR+ and really want to make the change. Any known frequent issues from these end of 2021 models?

I’m writing the community to see if anyone has any issues with Falcon Wing door injuring small children in their car seat.

Specifically small children ages 1-2 that may put their leg on the outside of the car seat and the door closes even though it should stop from the resistance and instead breaks a leg.

2026 Model X Steering wheel to yoke

BLUF:
Why can I not have a yoke on my 26 MX? Can anyone from Tesla service answer this without giving me the generic answer?

I bought my Model X in October 2025. It was one in inventory and I thought I wanted the steering wheel so it worked out. Turns out, I’m annoyed at the steering wheel blocking part of the screen. I had asked about retrofitting when I took my car in for a tire rotation and they said it should be no problem and told me the price. However, when I try to request service for it, I’m told there is no retrofit option for my vehicle from Tesla. I asked about buying aftermarket and requested they install it and was told they only install parts purchased from Tesla.

Has anyone had any luck changing out the steering wheel for the yoke in a 26 MX?

Half shafts gone bad again, tesla claims shudder is a normal characteristic of the plaid 🤦🏻‍♂️

Like the title says… this is the 3rd time that my 2022 MXP has started vibrating/shuddering under hard acceleration. My warranty expired this past June and they replaced the half shafts for the second time in March of this year. This time around the service center is trying to blame it on a slightly bent wheel. I told them to replace the wheel with a spare tire and do a road test to which they said the vibration improved but there’s still some vibration present that is a normal characteristic of the plaid… they claim
The half shafts are good by just visually inspecting them and moving them around claiming they have no play…. What can I do to make them honor the 1 year warranty in the parts since they were just replaced in March?

Front bumper camera retrofit anybody?

I remember seeing some discussions about front bumper camera retrofitting to HW4 Model X. I have 2024 MX. Has anybody successfully fitted front bumper camera and got it working? Does it need software configuration update after physical installation? How much it costed, parts with DIY or from some local shop?

AC Always is full blast!!

I bought a used 2023 MX last October and this is my first summer with it. I live in the Deep South and it’s 95+ right now everyday. If I have the AC on auto, it seems to never catch up. I leave it at 69 in the car and it feels like it’s running full blast constantly even if the car is on all day. Is this normal? Or would a radiator cleaning help fix this issue?? I’ve been running errands all day and feel like I’m about to lose my mind in the wind.
