Took delivery May 2016. Got email in June said Sunshade is being sent out but that was the end of it. Inquired with Tesla support several times, every time they said its still in the process of being sent out. Just wondering if anyone still waiting as well.

The official chain has been out of stock for a while and no service center seems to be carrying it. This is what I got as an inexpensive backup for the upcoming trip: sz441 super z-6 Did a test fit a few days ago and it seems to fit fine with plenty of clearance in the back.

If you can actually find the $500 official chain. I call around nearby Tesla stores and they are all out of stock with no ETA. After some research, I got this as backup. sz441 super z-6 For one I pray that I never need to use it. It is said that highway patrol will turn people away if it...

I have been using Testlafi data logger for a while and have found that in order to achieve 100% efficiency (miles driven equal to rated miles reduced), you have to be driving at 317 Wh/mi efficiency as indicated by the trip meter. I can achieve that when using autopilot on freeway at 70miles...

I had the same observation a while back when I started taking logs on the consumption for several days. My conclusion is that the trip meter grossly understates the energy consumption (something like 80%). I even start to suspect that the trip meter is only measuring the drive train energy...

+1!!! Remembering the 2nd row seat position when using the 3rd row access is on top of my wish list. The fact that the car remembers so many settings but not including this one is really puzzling to me.

The Model X seats are ventilated, not AC cooled. You can verify the ventilation using a tissue on both seat surface and seat back as well. There is a small suction force and its gone when turned off. I do think that the fan is a bit loud when turned on at 3 and its annoying. They could have...

I believe its the front side with no weatherstripping that has the gap. You can stick your finger into the gap at the corner. It looks to me more like a design error where the contour of the plastic panel does not match the metal panel.

Have you tried powerline based range extender model I mentioned? While still called range extender, its essentially a "connected" wifi access point. I tried traditional range extender before and did not have good result. From somewhere I read, the wifi antenna is inside the right rear view...

Agreed. Often times when I feel Autopilot getting too close to big rig when passing, I look at the dash and its showing the car at the center. However, if Autopilot is meant to replicate human driving habits, it should program the "center" to be just slightly away from the logical center while...

For Wifi signal get a range extender. I got the TP-LINK AV500 Wi-Fi Range Extender, Powerline Edition, TL-WPA4220KIT and plugged in at the garage and its 5 bar signal instantly. Its pretty much a necessity if you plan to use Summon from the driveway a lot.

Anybody has experience to request downgrading the software back to a certain version? I use Summon feature daily and its been painful to having this problem everyday. I'm pretty sure this new version changed the threshold on the sensors where the car detects obstacle. When I manually pull the...

How come your software is 2.24.102? Mine is 2.24.86 and I do not have any pending software updates. Does Tesla release different versions in batches?

So after you switching back the settings, it still works for you as before? In my case, the car is saying it detected obstacle and refuses to move where it was working perfectly fine before the update.

I have a problem on Summon since the new software update just days ago. It used to be the case that I have trouble Summon going in sometimes if the car is not aligned to the exact angle. But Summon backing out was never a problem. However, since the last software update several days ago, Summon...
