    One-fob-click door close is the devil

    As an earlier poster who had rear hatch close when fob in same pocket as cell phone, now after more than two months with vehicle the single click closing is one of my favorite and most used features. Love being able to walk away with hands full of stuff such as golf clubs or groceries and being...

    Center Console with Rear cupholders installed - 7/18/16

    Just had the center console installed, probably oldest MS to have them installed, 2012 Sig with VIN under 720. But after getting the Model X with center console we realized that really liked that feature. And it does match almost exactly the MX including rear cupholders. They did good job of...

    One-fob-click door close is the devil

    Happened to me twice, both times had fob in same pocket as cell phone or wallet, trunk started to close as was reaching back to pick up luggage to put in trunk. Good that it beeps when starts to close. Learned my lesson, now fob goes in pocket by itself or wear looser trousers.

    X Easter Eggs

    This probably does not belong in Easter Egg thread. I have experienced it twice, both when placing golf clubs in trunk and then turning away to grab more gear, hear beeping sound but then the trunk starts to close, almost hit back of my head each time. Have not been able to replicate it...

    Has your Tesla ever been in the rain?

    Yes. In December 2012 was a major rainstorm, found that our Sig MS with its very low center of gravity was best handling car have ever driven in hard rain. Now with over 43,000 miles and still driving great find it still to be true, though our Model X delivered last month with its even greater...

    Let's have a discussion about center console options....

    I'm in, placed order for the center console for our Sig MS now with over 43,000 miles. Held off all these years, I actually preferred the open space, but since took delivery of the Model X with center console my wife, who prefers the MS, now wants a center console. And I have to admit...

    In Praise of the Panoramic Windshield

    Sorry to hear abut these window reflection issues. With over 43,000 miles on the Model S and well over 1,000 on MX neither me or wife have ever noticed reflections. And we live in Florida south of Miami so drive in full sunlight most of time.

    In Praise of the Panoramic Windshield

    Now with almost 1000 miles on the Model X have to mention my favorite feature. The vehicle drives great, the falcon wing doors are a show stopper and do make lot easier enter and exit, vehicle grips pavement like no large vehicle I have ever drive. And I think it looks wonderful, our Metallic...

    Can't open driver's side door

    Quick update, all fixed and drives great, told guy at service center to have a good summer. Turns out rattles due to panels touching, while at center they noticed passenger side latch not working so also replaced. Speaking of service center, over 3 years ago on Model S site mentioned that...

    Can't open driver's side door

    Falcon wing doors work great, problem for me is the door latches on first row. And unknown cause of rattles.

    Can't open driver's side door

    They replaced the door latch, works fine. But now have constant rattle on passenger side, in service center again for diagnosis, may be passenger side latch. Great to be a Beta tester.

    Can't open driver's side door

    Good point. Reason I took in to service center Friday, even though probably won't be worked on until Monday, rain forecast this weekend. But did discover new nice feature of falcon wing doors, at least in 6 seat configuration, with FWD open can walk into second row and reach through center...

    Can't open driver's side door

    Dropped vehicle at service center this morning, they are going to replace the latch, last visit they only did realignment. Am confident this will fix problem. Shouldn't have been so aggravated but have been spoiled, with 42,000 miles now on MS never had to go to service center twice for same...

    Can't open driver's side door

    Appreciate the suggestion, but Dania Beach already 45 minute drive from Coral Gables. Obviously quality issue with vehicle, hopefully not also competency issue with service center.
