      Last weekend I was in R-2 Cali chain controls with PSAS4s on my MSP. CHP was turning cars back, people on the side of the road were getting chains put on. The cop just said to me, “Dual motor? Have a good night,” and waved me on. It made the pass like a champ, unplowed and leading the pack over fresh snow. No drama.

    I have the exact same vehicle as you and took delivery in Feb, 2022. This was my third Tesla (2016 S, 2017 X). I thought I would love this car, but am ambivalent now. I do like the Yoke-fun and comfortable. I must have gotten a "bad" one in regards to battery. I stayed at 405 miles "fully charged" for about 5 months, but noticed it dropped significantly and by 10 months, was down to 373 fully charged, despite only charging to 80 percent each evening. Not having physical buttons and relying on the screen to activate features is distracting and I think a safety issue while driving. One really needs to use the voice activation to operate features otherwise you might get into trouble. (eg. going into the menus just to open the glovebox, for example). I have lots of complaints about the car but it is fun to drive. I believe this will be my last Tesla. I think I'm going back to a gasoline vehicle in the future-cheaper, more functional, more versatile, cheaper to insure, less property tax, and in North Carolina-avoid the electric vehicle additional registration fee. I've enjoyed the ride, time to return home.

    Only maintenance is tires? No wheel alignments? No 2-year brake fluid changes? No 1-year wiper blade changes? No 3-year cabin filter changes? No 3-year hepa filter changes? No 3-year A/C desiccant changes? No 6250 mile tire rotations? No annual brake service to lubricate calipers? Man, you love neglecting recommended services and pretending Tesla's are maintenance free. By the way, get ready to do 2 oil and filter changes for the drive units because they love to say these things are filled for life, but we know that's a lie, along with the coolant that breaks down over time and loses its corrosion protection. And while you are at it, please add some wiper fluid! OMG, how people lie!!

      If you’re wondering what’s the Service intervals. The correct answer is this not what you said.
      Brake fluid health check every 2 years (replace if necessary).
      A/C desiccant bag replacement every 6 years.
      Cabin air filter replacement every 2 years.
      Clean and lubricate brake calipers every year or 12,500 miles (20,000 km) if in an area where roads are salted during winter
      Rotate tires every 10,000 km or if tread depth difference is 1.5 mm or greater, whichever comes first
      Now compared that to a gas car.
