I had my first unscheduled service visit in a couple years today. The tire pressure system started giving errors about 10 days ago - intermittent at first, then mostly constant (but would go off then come back on the next drive). Nothing really troublesome, but I wanted to get it fixed.

Tesla ended up retrofitting the current TPMS system into my car under warranty (I have the extended warranty, but they didn’t charge the deductible...). They changed vendors on the TPMS a couple years into production, and the new system is from Continental. I now have individual tire pressure displayed on the dash, something the old system did not have. Nice upgrade after 80k miles...

I had a Model X loaner for the day and put about 100 miles on it. Overall, it feels very similar to the S, with little differences, like the huge windshield (which I really liked). I really liked it - maybe I need to look for a low mile cpo X to replace the S next year...
