    Worth trading in MS for a MX?

    We've had our X now for a little bit of time, now approaching 63k miles and with lots of road trips and tons of daily usage under our belt. I still love driving our X and it's my preferred daily driver. And the X remains a very practical car for our family; last spring, I loaded 22 large bags...

    Did last sw update break bluetooth?

    Posting a quick update on my end. All is fixed with great service from my local mobile service team. There was something wrong with the bluetooth function on my individual car, but the professional plugged into the system, erased the past entries there, and did a reflash (? sorry, I'm not very...

    Did last sw update break bluetooth?

    no luck on my end, so I’ve scheduled a service visit. Feeling pretty old right now as I’ve scheduled a service appointment to ask for help to connect my phone. o_O

    Did last sw update break bluetooth?

    I have the exact same issue. I can’t seem to get my phone reconnected and cannot delete my old phone profile. Sigh... searching the forum for a solution

    Worth trading in MS for a MX?

    We have both in our family and I am happy to share our experience to help in your choice. I think the S is more attractive and definitely way more fun to drive. And space-wise (as you already know), it can actually hold quite a bit of stuff if you lay the back seats down. We’ve loved our S...

    Tire replacement time.

    I just replaced my tires with Pirelli Scorpion Verde AS II and thus far the ride is nice and road noise seems lower, but the handling doesn’t seem quite as stable at higher speed and the energy consumed with these tires is higher than what I had with the OEM Continentals. I drive fast, but...

    2016 Model X vs 2018 Model S

    I have both and would recommend you towards the newer Model S for your family as your wife just picked up a new X7. If your other car wasn’t a larger SUV, I would instead suggest the Model X as it’s a terrific daily commuter, is very fast for its type of vehicle, is useful in tons of ways, and...

    Should I Copy My Wife.....

    Congrats! I'm sure you'll love it. I really love our X and I tried to convince my wife to change our older Tesla for a new X for her to enjoy also, but she's not into having two of the same. So still looking.....

    X: What's your 90%?

    Some minor fluctuation +1/-1, but pretty consistent at 264 at 90% with nearly 40k miles now. 2017 100D. Lots of road trips and occasional supercharging, but 99% of charging from home.

    Just picked up Model X today, has defects

    When I originally picked up my car, I was unable to get the auto presenting door to work either during my inspection of the vehicle while they processed my paperwork. I remember turning the option on with the main screen and nothing happening. When I spoke with my delivery advisor, he told me...

    Potential long term owner....need advice

    I've owned and driven our Tesla cars (S and X) now for the past six years and do quite a bit of miles annually. Our model S now has more than 135,000 miles and is going strong and our model X has 35,000 miles and is perfect. Because of my high mileage driving, I used to buy a new car every...

    Poll- Res holders, would you have made the deposit if $1000?

    I would have continued to order as we have done. Our first Tesla required a $5000 deposit and later with the second, I think it was $1000 (don't remember exactly). But I think the low $100 reservation deposit means maybe half of the total reservations thus far may not convert to actual...

    Tesla design is so much more than EV

    Very well said! When walking away, I still look back at our Model S and think "what a handsome car!" and we love our Model X. In my eyes, Tesla design has always had very clean surfacing and generally good proportions. The new Cybertrck design is aggressively modern, which I appreciate, and...

    Poll. Model Y vs Cybertrk

    My wife and I had intentions to buy a Model Y for our daughter to drive when it became available; it's design doesn't do much for me, but we have loved our Tesla ownership experiences and wanted to do something electric. But after seeing the Cybertruck, we've decided to order the truck and are...

    Who is getting a Tesla Cybertruck

    Ordered, but not trading in my Model X. Our X is a perfect family and road trip vehicle for us.
