    Is the huge front windshield going to be too hot for summer?

    In the past few days, we have had warmer weather and do feel the heat coming through when the sun is directly overhead. I will also be getting Prestige Photosync on the windshield and the rest. It has worked wonders with our P85+ S, so we will stick with this as it is a proven tint for us.

    Model X Window Tint Pictures

    I am planning on getting window tint on the new X. We have the midnight silver and white syntec seats. What are some of you getting? Lets share pictures. This is ours with no tint yet. Wife wants 55% Photosync and I want 35% Trying to decide.

    Double vision (ghosting) at night through windshield?

    My wife noticed it first and it is giving her a headached when driving at night. Fortunately we do not go out much after dark. This is a problem I hope Tesla addresses immediately

    Traded the P85+ for the XP90D

    Well, we did it. Had some great memories with the P85+ along the entire California coastline. It was a pleasure driving all 42,000 miles on electric power. Hope it goes to a great home. The S was a great leap forward for us to a green household and when my wife saw the X at the launch...

    Model S - Window Tinting

    rfmurphy81 - I had the same issue. On our P85+, we went with Photosynch 35 or 45 all the way around (at my age I really do not remember the number). Well, whatever the number it was, we chose the same so it was consistent. On our Accord, this too was a challenge because we loved how effective...

    Model S - Window Tinting

    We really like it especially in the back windows for extra privacy with the 20% on Ceraluxe.

    Model S - Window Tinting

    I too went with Photosynch and very happy with it. It is the best film out there and it does cost a pretty penny. For us, this was a retirement gift to ourselves, so we splurged a little. Little did we know that we handed the car down to our son and his family. They have little ones so I am...

    Clear protective film kits for the X

    Thank you dwebb66. My configuration is nearly identical to yours with the exception of the black leather. I guess we are just getting a bit anxious. At least you are over the hurdle. ;)

    Sitting in 3rd row and watching for 2nd row seat

    My retired colleague came over today with his X and I wanted to try out the 3rd row seat. So I made my way there, sat down and pulled the 2nd row back. I immediately noticed that my right foot was in the way of the pillar that scoots the seat back. Anyone else notice this? Seems to be a...

    Clear protective film kits for the X

    dwebb66 - I noticed your VIN at 1239. Mine is in the 900s, but stuck with some problems, which Tesla would not tell me what the issues are. Did you have any delays in terms of production issues?

    Model S - Window Tinting

    If you want to go darker, this is a very good option using Ceraluxe. The technology is similar to Photosynch and made by the same company as well, so you know it is a very high quality and stable product. I had the Ceraluxe 20% put to rear and 45% on the front and their 75% to the windshield...

    Clear protective film kits for the X

    We will be taking delivery of our P90D in 2 weeks. It has been in queue for quite some time due to some issues. Hopefully to get it without having more issues. First to do is photosynch tint on all windows and the film for whole car. I will be using Premiere in Fremont. They did our previous...

    Beware, don't cook your dog (or kids)

    This is not a bad issue at all. If you compare it to the Model S, they still do not have any rear AC for the jumpseats in the hatch area. Now that is a serious hazard.

    How many people are taking delivery of their Model X in March?

    Ours will be ready in 2 weeks. We can't wait. Congrats to everyone being patient. It is worth it.
