I got married this weekend and instead of renting a limo we decided to use our Teslas. We own the red and blue and thanks to forum member @commasign for letting me borrow his white one to complete the ensemble.
Model S (70 RWD Coil Spring Suspension) flooded in my garage on August 27 in Houston. I thought I'd share details about my experience thus far that may be of interest to the community.
The car ultimately sat in about 22 inches of water (measured from ground), probably 21 near the front and 23 near the back due to incline of garage.
The car became incapacitated when the water level was barely at the front door sills (roughly 6 or 7 inches of water from ground). While trying to move the car I got a warning message about the 12v battery and the car would not shift from Park. At this point I could still open and close the doors as normal.

I have always known that the Tesla Model X was a great vehicle, but I was able to confirm this the night before my wedding on Friday, May 5. Nancy and I had just finished up our rehearsal dinner with our friends and family. Upon leaving the restaurant to walk to our cars, we heard police sirens nearby. Not thinking anything of this, I dropped off Nancy at her car and we prepared to go our separate ways until the big day.
When I made my way out of the parking lot, I began to take a left turn on to the main street. Mid-turn, I noticed a silver car quickly approaching the driver’s side of the vehicle (I later learned that they were going over 65 mph on a private road). I had no time to react, since the driver came from a blind spot on my left. At this point, it looked like the driver had no intention of slowing down, and I immediately thought that I was either going to get badly hurt or potentially die. Read More
I know others have done it, but I guess now it's my turn. I just picked up a Model X P100D. I have driven a Roadster for several years. I figured I would give a comparison based on my initial observations.
Roadster is the quickest kick in the pants and the most fun I've ever had to drive. My Model X is a super fast luxury sedan that is comfortable and enjoyable. Roadster is Spartan. It is a race car. It is the angriest dog on the block. My P100D Model X is luxurious, spacious, with room for the family and kids and travel bags and groceries. Read More
