    X: What's your 90%?

    my Model X 90D with stock small wheels with 26k miles is 218 at 90%. I average 400 kw/h because i live in a hilly area. I thought the 218 seemed to be pretty bad degradation and just called the service center about it and they are pulling my logs. When i bought the car, the rep said that the...

    Seat Belt Malfunction - Had to Cut it to get my son out

    it wasn't caught on the booster but it was caught on my son. It looked as if the loop caught onto him and somehow retracted to the point where he couldn't get out. I was driving so I'm not sure of the full sequence of events. But from what my wife told me was that as we approached he wanted...

    Seat Belt Malfunction - Had to Cut it to get my son out

    yes that is what I purchased...its only $5 and useful if you or some other car has had an accident and people need to get out and are trapped. The purpose of it I think is to get people out if the car is on fire or something...but with how buggy the FWD's are...it might be useful to have this...

    Seat Belt Malfunction - Had to Cut it to get my son out

    yes if you quickly pull on a seat belt it is going to lock by design. But you must've missed the part where the belt originally had some slack but by then end when i got to it, there was almost no slack. just enough to get my fingers in to help create some space between it and my sons neck...

    Seat Belt Malfunction - Had to Cut it to get my son out

    scary, in my instance though the belt was already unbuckled Between myself, and my wife, the group of people in the car parked in front of us, and the security guard...we couldn't figure out a way to get it off...I'd say we probably spent 10 minutes trying to get it off...the group of people...

    Seat Belt Malfunction - Had to Cut it to get my son out

    It isn't really a child seat, more like a booster https://www.amazon.com/Evenflo-Big-Booster-Seat-Sprocket So i don't think the booster did much to interfere with the function, all it does it extend it lower for smaller children. It was already unhooked from the receiver. I don't know the...

    Seat Belt Malfunction - Had to Cut it to get my son out

    yes, he unlatched it himself as we were approaching. We were in stop and go traffic line to get into parking and my guess is he must've unlatched and as i hit the brake it must've tried to retract it or something.

    Falcon Wing Door Alignment Issue

    that is not very encouraging that they didn't have a fix... the paint is exposed, does it have a higher likelihood of rusting in that spot

    Falcon Wing Door Alignment Issue

    I will ask for them to paint it, as I've took it in twice for the specific issue of the door being misaligned. I mean if the door is scraping off paint, I would hope that is evidence enough that it is not fitting right. Also the driver side seat bolster has a lot of wrinkle/wear for a car with...

    Falcon Wing Door Alignment Issue

    Yes, it sounds like that just not as bad as the first video, more like some of the other videos in the message. Thing is it wasn't always like that so I am thinking that as the doors have opened and closed they slowly get more misaligned. Doesn't give me confidence that this will be a one time...

    Falcon Wing Door Alignment Issue

    So my falcon wing door has been misaligned since delivery. I took it to 2 separate service centers and they said they adjusted it and it is within their acceptable specs. But it is clearly not aligned, it makes a popping noise when it opens and closes..and now the paint on the body of the car...

    Windshield Wiper Visibility Issues

    Anyone have trouble with the windshield wipers in light rain? The first pass it clears the rain but when the wipers return it smears it so it is really hard to see at night. I searched and saw that it was an issue with the model S and those users switched to Bosch wipers. If it is just me...

    Model X service plans

    $400 seems like a lot for a key fob battery, wipers, alignment, and air filter. wipers, battery, and filter cost is probably under $40. alignment can be done for under $100
