Top accessories for your Model X
If you just got delivery of your Model X you may be asking yourself what are the best accessories to get for your Tesla. I am going to share some of my favorite accessories for the Tesla Model X.
Tesla Raven Model S and Model X
What is Tesla Raven? In April 2019 Tesla introduced new versions of both Model S and Model X- codenamed as 'Raven'- which included a new adaptative suspension system and an overall increase in range. In February 2020, Tesla announced new EPA range estimates for the Raven Long Range Plus versions.

110 kWh packs and 400+ range coming for S and X?
Jason Hughes discovered some interesting bits buried inside the Tesla BMS firmware. Tesla has made changes to fit 108 cell groups and there is a ‘packid’ that states that the pack can be ~109 kWh.
Potentially, these changes come from removing the modules that as Elon stated, make an enclosure, in an enclosure, in an enclosure, and get back some space.

From issue #772021 Tesla Model X Refresh
2021 Tesla Model X Refresh gets detailed by OCDetailing. For those who don’t know, Joshep from OCDetailing is one of the best-known detailers in the Bay Area and in the Tesla community.
From issue #1882024 Model X new steering wheel
Newly manufactured Model Y and 3 are removing the Roll and Creep options and will only feature Hold. This is the mode that maximizes range and reduces brake wear by applying regenerative braking all the way to zero without the driver needing to use the brake pedal. I’ve personally only been using this mode since we got our Model Y. I hope new owners can adapt to that quickly and happily.
From issue #3003 Refreshed Model X's were spotted on Fremont
The refreshed Model X is expected to start production in Q4. Recently, a few of them were seen at the Fremont logistics lot, probably ready to do some testing for final tweaking. Can’t wait to see it IRL.
From issue #184A first-ever Tesla teardown! Model X battery pack overview
Another great teardown by Munro Live. Take a look if you’re intrigued by the insides of your car.
From issue #290All Model X and Model S will soon work with no key if your phone pairs with Bluetooth
It seems like the actual key fob also uses Bluetooth since September 2016 (see Electrek’s post about this), so I assume both the S and the X have the appropriate antennas to power using the phone as the key.

From issue #7Cars made after November also have a push center for horn
Many refreshed S and X owners have complained about the horn and how difficult it was to activate it during an emergency (although you can smash the right side as the video above shows). This is changing for newer owners, all owners of refreshed S and X made after November will be able to just push the center for horn, Tesla just needs to send the update.
From issue #206Crash test: Tesla Model Y vs. Model X
Disclaimer: This video contains images of Teslas going through crash tests, watch it under your own responsibility đ Of course, this video compares a car that was designed 10 years ago vs. a newer one.
From issue #203Cyberpunk and the Witcher are still coming to the refreshed S and X
Tesla showcased the Cyberpunk at the Model S delivery event, but it wasn’t until this week that we heard an update about it. Elon confirmed he is hoping they get released next quarter. According to Elon, the team is debating between making individual games work well or directing those efforts towards generalized gaming simulation.
From issue #195Doug DeMuro Reviews the Model X Plaid
Love Doug’s face when flooring the X. Overall, an exhaustive and balanced review of the six-seater Plaid X.
From issue #209Efficiency package and mechanical horn
According to findings in the source code by Greentheonly, we can expect the Model Y, S, and X to have an “efficiency package” in 2024 and the Model S and X to get a new steering wheel, as well as the yoke featuring a mechanical horn, instead of the button one that it currently has.
From issue #299Experiences of the cantonal police of Basel-City with the Model X
The cantonal police of Basel-City in Switzerland have added 7 Model X in their fleet since April 2019. 40,000 km later they haven’t observed any notable quality defects. They have had to make some modifications e.g. ballistic protected parts, but they have received a license from Tesla to convert the vehicles themselves which is great so they won’t lose the warranty.
The article goes on about the type of advantages a Model X brings to the cantonal police of Basel. They also think the Cybertruck could even be more suitable, but on the other side, it may look too martial for the city. What do you think?
From issue #111First known photos of the Model S Plaid and the refreshed Model X
This week it’s all about the Model S and X refresh. Lots of videos and pictures being shared online. Here are some of the refreshed Model X. Can’t see much but… I’m excited, what can I say?
From issue #153First look at Teslaâs adaptive suspension for the Model S and X refresh
One of the recent additions for the Model S and X is the adaptive suspension. According to Tesla, this new suspension uses a predictive model to anticipate how the damping will need to be adjusted based on the road, speed, and other vehicle and driver inputs. Now that new owners are getting their hands on these new cars, greater information about it is going out. Here is a table of how the new suspension compares in terms of efficiency to the old one.

From issue #61Free unlimited Supercharging for new Model S and Model X
Tesla is giving people an incentive to get a new Model S / X over a new Model 3 by throwing unlimited Supercharging in the mix. We have no idea how long this offer is going to last but if we use the past to predict the future it’s probably going to be there at least for the rest of Q3.

From issue #71Hidden energy chart for refresh S/X
Thanks to DayTrippin from TMC: By using the voice commands and saying “open energy” you will be able to see the energy chart in the refresh S/X.
From issue #213Infographic with main differences between Model 3 and Model Y đˇ
Very nice and clean infographic showing the main differences between the performance versions of the Model 3 and the Model Y.
From issue #105Infotainment Upgrade now scheduling for Model S/X built March 2018 or earlier
Owners of Model S and Model X built March 2018 or earlier are now eligible to purchase an Infotainment Upgrade. We published an article when the MCU 2 retrofit first became available with information about features, cost, and reasons to upgrade.
From issue #136Interested in a Model X? My friend's might be what you were looking for
My good friend Jose, the first subscriber to Tesletter and the person whose referral code I used for our Model S in 2017, is looking to transfer the lease of his December 2022 Model X seven-seater. This is a great opportunity, as it offers around 21 months of driving the Model X without any down payment, taxes, or fees, at a monthly rate of $1,594. For comparison, leasing a new one with the same configuration for 24 months would cost approximately $1,912 per month. The car is in pretty good condition, and Jose is a fantastic person. Check out the pictures!
From issue #307Introducing Ultra Red paint for Model S & X
Tesla has launched a new paint color for the Model S and Model X, built at the Fremont factory. The new color, called “Ultra Red,” appears to be a shade between the Red Multicoat (which it replaces) and the Midnight Cherry Red produced in Berlin. The new color is priced at $3,000. The video showcases the paint shop, as well as how the new color appears on the Model S and X. Personally, I think it looks fantastic!
From issue #258Latest software improves Tesla Supercharger times by up to 25%
Good news for owners that have a Model S or X, the latest software - thanks to warming up battery when you head to a Supercharger - improves supercharging times by up to 25%. It is pretty amazing that cars from 2012 are still getting better! For now if you use the navigation when heading to a Supercharger, that way your car will charge faster.
According to Elon, between the software update, the new v3, and the increase in power in v2, Superchargers charge time will drop by a factor of 2 for the whole Tesla fleet and a factor of 4 for Model 3s. These changes more than double total Supercharger system throughput worldwide.

From issue #50MagSafe dock for the new iPhone 12 Pro (Model S/X)
This Tesla owner was looking for a MagSafe for his Model X and, after not being able to find a solution he liked, he built his own. Here’s a short demo and here’s a detailed explanation of the hack and all the pieces needed. The DIY has become so popular that the creator is 3D printing them and selling them on Etsy. He plans on donating the proceeds to clean energy non-profit to help further the Tesla mission.
From issue #146Many interior configurations for Model S and X will be gone after November 1st
Elon announced on Twitter that to simplify the production many of the current interiors for the Model S and the Model X are going to disappear after November 1st. If you were thinking about getting a Model S or X it may be time to do it now so you can get the configuration that you wanted and still take advantage of the full tax credit.

From issue #30Model S and Model X cars built now have the center-screen tilting functionality
Ryan McCaffrey mentioned that he got rock-solid confirmation that the new Model S and Model X are now built with the center-screen tilting functionality. As shown in previous videos, past cars had the physical parts but were missing motors to actually move them.
From issue #214Model S and Model X price reductions
- Model S AWD: $89,990, down 5.2% from $94,990
- Model S Plaid: $109,990, down 4.3% from $114,990

Model S and X 75kWh are going away
Sunday night is the last chance to order the 75kWh Model S or X. Would it be because they are releasing new packs? We don’t know but if you were thinking about getting one of them hurry up and if you need a referral code remember that we have one ;)

From issue #41Model S and X add a front bumper camera and ambient lighting
Tesla is going to introduce the front bumper camera that we’ve seen in the Cybertruck already to the Model S and Model X. The front bumper camera is great for seeing what is right in front of the car, and one can think it will help increase parking visualizations and other functions by addressing a critical blind spot. Another addition is the elegant interior ambient lighting, which I personally really enjoy in the new 3.
From issue #307Model S and X to get upgrades
The Model S and X are going to get several upgrades this year, on top of the ones listed above. It is expected that the S and X will get a front camera, similar to the one seen in the Cybertruck. Another anticipated addition is the Ambient lighting that we have seen in the new Model 3, as well as newer seats that were released a few months ago in the parts catalog. As is typical with Tesla, these changes will come when they come, maybe simultaneously, but probably not.
From issue #299Model S estimated EPA range above 390 miles (~630 km)
Elon announced on Twitter that, with some recent modifications, the EPA of the Model S is now above 390 miles. With the same improvements, the Model X’s EPA went up to 350 miles.
He also that all Model S/X made in recent months will be unlocked more range for free via software update. It turns out they already have the components that made these improvements possible. How cool is that?

From issue #99Model S/X - 8GB eMMC Tegra MCU recall
Better late than never. Tesla has decided to proactively recall the Model S and Model X vehicles to update software and to replace the 8GB embedded Multi Media Card (eMMC) in the media control unit (MCU). This applies only to Model S and Model X vehicles built before March 2018 which are equipped with an 8GB eMMC in the MCU that may experience a malfunction due to accumulated wear.
As you probably know, our 2017 Model S is in this boat but we are most likely going to trade it in and get a new Y (exciting!). If you have a Tesla affected by the voluntary recall, don’t reach out to Tesla, they will reach out to you when your time to get the replacement arrives.
From issue #149Model S/X is available to order in Europe
It was about time! Finally, folks in Europe can order the new Model S and Model X, with estimated deliveries starting around Christmas. I wonder if my friend Lars from Todos Electricos will get a new Model S, what do you think Lars?
From issue #228Model S/X refresh: you can activate the center console shifter by briefly pressing both scroll wheels
The new Model S and X don’t come with a stalk to select gears, instead, they come with what Tesla calls a “smart shift”. This system tries to understand your car’s surroundings to pick the right gear for you, if the car is wrong you can override that using the center console. In the case the center console isn’t working correctly, there are other selectors that turn on under the wireless phone charging area, and in case those don’t turn on, you can activate them by briefly pressing both scroll wheels.
From issue #218Model S/X Steering Wheel Retrofit for $700
The owners that I know who have a Yoke steering wheel do not miss the round steering wheel at all. However, I have heard some complaints on Twitter and forums. For those of you who do not like the Yoke steering wheel, in March, you will be able to retrofit a round steering wheel for $700. Please note that this new steering wheel will still not have stalks or shifters.
From issue #249Model X and Model S get cheaper in the newest version
Tesla has dropped the price of the Model S and tthe Model X by $8,000. Model S and Model X that were previously sold under the 100D label will now be sold as âExtended Rangeâ vehicles, while Teslaâs top-of-the-line P100D variants will now be branded as Model S Performance and Model X Performance. If you’re tempted, order before February 1st and get 6 months of free Supercharging with our referral code http://ts.la/ignacio9266

From issue #44Model X refresh estimated delivery update
The expected delivery time for someone who ordered it on February 10th is now May - June.
From issue #152Model X wood carving
If you like wood carving, and even if you don’t, here’s a mesmerizing video of a wood-carved Tesla Model X. This is some serious craft!
From issue #146Model X/S specs now showing 250kW Supercharging max
Both specs of the Model S and Model X have recently been updated indicating 250kW of Supercharging. Meanwhile, Elon has shared on Twitter that ’technically, it wonât be quite 1000 mph charging’ but also ‘a Model X bought in Dec. 2019 may be able to reach 250kW at low states of charge’. Some changes in the wiring had to be done for this, thus this doesn’t seem something that is going to be possible for older Raven Model S and X.
From issue #120New AP update 2018.21.9 - Off ramps & interchanges
Model X
The author of the video says: “Notice the speed limit on autopilot slows down automatically. Previously, when I had the autopilot on when I was using this off ramp, it would just drop from whatever speed I was going to 45MPH very abruptly and that was it. Now it is very gradual. I tried another time with a longer ramp and it slowed down more gradually and got down to around 25MPH.”"
##### Model 3 From issue #12New black Arachnid wheels and ventilated seats
Tesla is bringing back the previously discontinued ventilated seats and it is making new black Arachnid wheels available from the ordering process. (Previously, they were only available through the referral process). For now, they’re available both for the Model S and the Model X but only for the P100D.

From issue #9New eMMC failure warning message
Firmware version 2020.40.9.2 (and only this version for now), introduces a new warning message when the MCU eMMC is about to fail. You could argue Tesla shouldâve done something about this earlier and I wish my MCU wouldnât fail in the first place, but since that canât be changed, seeing Tesla acknowledging the failure and actually doing something about it is very positive.
From issue #140New Model S and Model X
Folks keep on speculating about a Model S and Model X refresh. Elon already said there will be no exterior refresh, but now Electrek is telling us about a ‘secret’ project called Palladium which would involve building new production lines for the Model S/X. According to this source, Tesla would be manufacturing new battery modules and drive units that would serve as the basis of the upcoming âPlaidâ versions.
From issue #121New Model X Long Range Plus
The new Model X Long Range Plus is here. Or at least this is the first one I’ve seen online. Thank you chadever for sharing! Check out the wireless charger and the battery charged up to 351 miles.

From issue #101New UI from inside a Plaid Model X
What we all first thought was going to be v11 turned out to be v10.2, or at least that’s how it’s called in the software. See the new UI in action, it is still unclear if or when Tesla will integrate this in the 3 or the Y. If I had o bet I would say they will but it will take a while, as it happened with the 3 when it was first released.
From issue #168News for the Model S and the Model X
Greentheonly discovered a few bits pointing to new hardware coming to the Model S and the Model X imminently:
- Two new battery types in several configs, no word about the capacity yet
- Integrated inductive phone charger (Qi)
- New charge port type
- New suspension version, not a new suspension but an iteration in the one released a few months ago
- New lumbar support, maybe new seats?
- Is there an interior redesign coming? Who knows đ¤ˇââď¸ But it seems that the S and the X are getting some love for sure!

From issue #96Optimus Prime goes through NAF test
Model X with 200,000 kilometers (12,500 milles) goes through NAF test (Automobile Association of Norway Test). It’s good to see high mileage cars going through these type of tests without any problem. Bjørn your Model X will be remembered!
Premium Package is now standard for all Model S and Model X
Woot?! We bought our Model S only a few months ago… But to be honest, we knew this could happen. And we’re happy for the new and future Model S owners. Enjoy!

From issue #18Redesigned Model S and Model X are here
The rumors of the Model S/X refresh finally turned into reality and were announced yesterday at Tesla’s earnings call. Here are some highlights:
- The exterior will remain very close to the current desing, maybe a tad more aggressive with a bigger diffuser and a front vent
- Like the other models, it includes a black trim and a heat pump
- Horizontal 17" display, instrument cluster display, and a screen for the second row
- A 22-speaker, 960-watt audio system with active noise canceling
- It offers a yoke and a more traditional steering wheel option, both of them with no stalks; all controls are via buttons in the steering wheel or the screen
- Crazy fast, the base model 0-60 is 3.1s while the Plaid version 0-60 is 1.9s and its top speed 200mph
- The prices of the base model and Plaid-equivalent to the previous performance- are now $10k more
I thought I was going to trade in my 2017 Model S for a new Model Y, but now I’m going to need to rethink what to do. If you are thinking about ordering it and want 1,000 miles of free Supercharging, consider use my referral code http://ts.la/ignacio9266
From issue #148Refreshed Model X LR will be lighter and more powerful than the 2020 model

- 4% reduction in curve weight
Refreshed Model X video footage
We’ve seen quite a few photo and video footage of the refreshed Model S but not so much about the new Model X. Here’s a video, showing the yoke style steering-wheel and all.
From issue #164Screen tilting in action
As we just mentioned, seems that Tesla is shipping new cars with the missing components. Here is a video of a refreshed Model S using the tilting functionality đą
From issue #214Second row screen in S/X refresh will allow watching videos while driving
I mean… taxis, kids,… I can see many use cases in which allowing watching videos while driving (in the second row) is going to be a great experience without compromising safety. What do you think?
From issue #153See how to change gears in the refreshed S and X
Refreshed S and X are coming without a gear stalk and instead, they have what Tesla calls ‘smart shift’. With the smart shift, the car will try to predict the gear that you want, which sounds great but, what if you want to override it? Well, it seems that you can just slide the car on the screen for it to change from D to R.
From issue #157Selfie cam coming to Model S and X soon?
Greentheobly has found evidence of what is seems to be called HW3.2 for the Model S and X, according to his findings this will include the selfie cam and it might be yet another hit at some kind of refresh coming soonâ˘
From issue #145Stats of a 100 day/15k mile cross-country trip in a Model X
Every time I talk to someone who isn’t familiar with EVs or Tesla is ‘but … am I going to be able to go on road trips?’ Range and long-distance trips are a big question mark for a lot of future EV owners, but you can totally do it on a Tesla, and it’s not even a rare thing. u/octane097 shared their tip, 100 days, 15 miles, 70 Supercharger stops, and 95% of driving using AP led to… zero problems! The post has a lot of stats and the pictures of the route and the trip, check it out!

From issue #254Tesla begins five-seater Model X deliveries in the US
Earlier this year, Tesla prioritized the six-seater configuration above all others, but it seems that they are already delivering five-seaters in the US. Now, if my friend Jose could get his seven-seater soon, that would be really appreciated.

Tesla has announced a price cut for its Model S and Model X vehicles. The company has reduced the price of these vehicles by up to $5,000, making them more affordable for potential buyers.

From issue #54Tesla Model X hacked with $195 Raspberry Pi based board
Researchers from the COSIC team discovered a major security flaw in the keyless entry system of the Tesla Model S and detailed how the security measures implemented in the more recent Tesla Model X can be bypassed. They built a POC with a Raspberry Pi, a CAN shield, a modified key fob and ECU from a salvage vehicle, and a LiPo battery. Tesla received this information back in August and is planning on pushing changes that address these security flaws to the key fob as part of the 2020.48 software update.

From issue #56The refreshed S and X, now with more storage
According to Elon, they now come with more storage and, more importantly, are easily upgradable. That has been a pet peeve, storage becomes cheaper every year, it makes a lot of sense to make it easy for the owner to upgrade the storage of the car.
From issue #149Upcoming software update 2020.32
While 2020.28.6 is rolling out with bug fixes, 2020.32 will be coming soon introducing some interesting new things (I’m guessing Model X owners will particularly like the first one):
- Get notifications on your phone when your car is left open (yay!)
- Suspension settings improvements
- Notifications history improvements
Walk around of a refreshed Model X
Last weekend, Tesla started delivering the first batch of refreshed Model X. According to the reports, they all are 6 seaters and most (all?) have white paint. This car is gorgeous, I can’t wait to see it in real life.
