FYI, I had a very similar annoying creaking but more from the center of the dash and it was on acceleration and lifting off the accelerator. They had it for a week and oddly enough, the culprit was a worn (right, I think) strut. Ever since not a sound. Would have sworn something was loose...

So I have a 2016 90D with 21k and 100% SOC is showing 239 mi range. So a 7% degradation from new but here's the kicker. That 239 rated range appears to be pure fiction. I've been getting in the neighborhood of 185 to 190 total miles at 330ish wh/mi out of a full charge. More importantly the...

Ok, I'm a 6' 8" X owner and 3 reservation holder. I scrolled through all the posts and didn't see my question so here it goes. When I got a loaner S to drive awhile back, I noticed that I had to pivot around the B pillar for ingress egress because the seat is so far back (think left hip). Is...

DOOR LATCH UPDATE: After calling tech service and filing the report. They said try a screw driver to reset the latch, which did stop the latch but now the door is open and can't be closed cuz the latch is locked. Pulling the handle starts the process all over again. From inside, stepping on the...

Just picked up our X to get the passenger door glass replaced (scratch at delivery from window regulator) and when we got home the driver door latch on opening is making its latching sound like its trying to either open/close or latch the door. Tried powering down both the screens and the car...

Ok, thanks. Surprised I couldn't find it in the manual. Seems kinda high for a shelf but I guess we'll find out.

Sorry for the title but there are four (2 each side) rectangular reliefs located outboard of the 3rd row seat backs. Cant find anything in the owners manual. Was thinking it might be a child seat anchor or a shelf anchor or some accessory. Any ideas? Thx

OK, just heard from DS that VIN 2485 might make it to Santa Barbara on 5/28. We shall see. Supposed to go to the Lumineers concert at the Santa Barbara Bowl that night so this could be interesting.

Here's what I don't get. According to my DS, my 90D VIN 2485 just entered production this week. Expect delivery some time in May. Seems like very large gaps in VINs being delivered. Just hope they get it right.

Threads like this scare the sh%# out of me. This is the first time I've ever dropped 100k on a car and I've already broken my cardinal rule of never buying a first year production car (For these teething reasons). I was counting on Tesla being different, as in, delaying delivery rather than...

You know, as with most new models, the "wow" factor wears off fairly quickly as more and more get on the road. But after test driving an X in Burbank, once those doors go up, it's like bees to honey. I'm not so sure the wow will wear off that quickly cuz the shear rarity of the doors. There's...

Pardon my rookieness. On my original post I didn't realize the UMC included the brick thing with the Cylon eye. Thought it was just a cord and adapter. The issue is our 14-50 is not easy to get to and hits the futz threshold if it had to be unplugged by wifey while trying to corral kids every...

Ok, I've searched a bazillion threads/posts and still can't find an answer to what I want to do (I hope Flasherz is lurking cuz it sounds like he's the shiz nizzle). When and if our X ever arrives, I have the 14-50 outlet and cable ready. What I want is to make a semi-permanent (low cost) plug...

As an uninitiated Model X reservist, does the navigation/supercharger info show availability of bays at a given location or do you just take a chance a port is available when you see a location coming up on your route. My concern is as popularity and numbers scale up in the out years, it could...

Hey All, As a Model X reservist (18 k ish), I was wondering how much if any maintenance issues can be handled by owners who have worked on their previous ICE vehicles. The recent issues of reliability and a lack of convenient service centers has given me some pause. Do Tesla's lend themselves...
