To answer your questions, yes I've had 2 Model S and currently have a Model X. The pay before you drive the car your ordered is what I experienced at the Seattle Delivery Center. Other regions or locations pay have different policies, but being that Tesla shops are factory owned, I'm guessing...

I had the same wrinkling on my X. The leather quality in Teslas are certainly not up to par with the Nappa leather surfaces that BMW or Mercedes uses. I think its also due to the softer foam cushioning that is on the bottom part of the seat, I feel other car makers use a firmer foam that...

Wow, I would actually only buy a Model X if it has the guarantee. Let's face it, this is not the most reliable cars on the road, but that shouldn't stop anyone from getting one. Getting a good, trouble free car is hit or miss with Tesla. They are a new car company, facing cash funding issues...

I don't think recent builds are any better. Tesla has said there is no current fix or solution for the matter. My SC has offered to try another windshield, but said in all honestly, they didn't think it would solve the issue. It seems like some windshields are better than others, so its all...

Congrats on the Iron Man X! I'm curious about your alignment issues. My X also had a crooked alignment bias to the right since new. They did an alignment and it helps a little, but the car still seems to be pulling to the right. An SC alignment help a little, but it still has a tilt to the...

Here it the email I received from Tesla this morning when I e-mail service in Fremont. For the record, I'm not a Tesla fanboy, I have 5 other cars and I have not experienced this issue in any other car I've owned or currently have. This is a boilerplate message that I've seen on another...

100% agree with you! I never saw this ghosting issue on any car prior to the X or other cars I currently have, and the ghosting is pretty bad. My SC says there isn't any fix right now and that they would put me on a list to contact me when there is a fix. I drove for 4 hours straight last...

I had a Range Rover SVR prior to getting the X and there is no doubt the build quality of the RR is head and shoulders above the X. Most here are discussing the interior quality such as fit and finish when standing still. When moving, Tesla's poor build quality becomes very evident. My X...

Thanks for your quick reply!

Does the Model X lease come with a 90 day Happiness Guarantee like the S? Thanks

I had a latch problem with just a 100mi on my X. Interestingly, the tech said it has to do with condensation getting into the latch mechanism. Makes sense in my case because I was washing my car and the driver's side door failed to latch. I have a recent VIN, 7xxx so I thought I had the...

Hi... Has anyone noticed that the adjustment angle of the front seats don't come up very much? By that I mean the backrest angle is quite reclined at its most forward setting and I can't get it to come up more vertically. I like to adjust my seat with the backrest supports my shoulders and...

I can tell you that this has been an issue with Model S seats. In both my Model S, the seats feel like a rocking chair, but regardless of how many times the SC replaces or tightens the seat, the problem comes back. So far in my X it has been solid, no rocking. But after reading your post, I'm...

I'm an original S owner too and this is my 3rd Tesla. The difference now, and the reason I didn't put an X deposit 2-3 years ago with the X was announced is because I like to see what I'm buying. I applaud brave folks like you who buy a car unseen or without any details but I'm not that person...

I'll privately PM you with his name.
