    Anyone actually using advanced summon for real?

    I won’t use it. Even when it doesn’t drive dangerously through a parking lot, it just arrives to me and stops sideways in the middle of the lane, very awkwardly. Honestly I’m surprised they released this feature. At least when autopilot messes up someone is behind the wheel to take over and...

    What happened to Tesla's customer service?

    Second this, the chat feature on the website has been my go to last couple times.

    Just bought an X. My first Tesla. It'll be the family beater and we'll ignore it. Suggestions?

    Our X is the family car. Taken a number of road trips it. 10 months in and almost 18K miles. Got a few nicks in front, some tar from construction, sap from tree's. Im in the "its a car" group. Cathartic, as I find it, hand wash it weekly. Wash in the garage during winter. Shop vac the...

    Too much dust inside. Where is the air filters?

    Yah, I don’t know where it comes from. I’d clean the whole car, wipe everything down and almost instantly see it on the dash, screen, wood trim, etc... The most reliable way for me to deal with it is to vacuum it up. And vacuum the carpet, registers, seats, trim, etc... Good luck!

    Navigate on Autopilot is Useless (2018.42.3)

    In any urban highway driving I only set lane change to mild, anything else and it’s “rule of the road” logic isn’t followed by human drivers. Basically, get me in a lane and leave me there until I gotta exit or interchange. Different on rural or turnpikes highways / left lane passing only...

    Model S/X deliveries drop off cliff, down 56%

    The S and X as we know it were "The Best" Tesla could offer as a company bleeding cash and not profitable. Now that they're profitable, I'd like to see what they can offer. Come on.... refresh!

    Resales value of 2018 Model X

    Yeah but there are costs involved on their end to turn the car around. It has to be inspected and put into inventory. Then that inventory is on hold until it sells, holding inventory is not free, not with Teslas debt... Most used cars they sell, if not all used cars they sell, come with a...

    Resales value of 2018 Model X

    Vehicles deprecate, some more than others. If that's a factor for buying a car, then maybe wait for EV's to gain more in popularity. With greater demand the used market price will get better.

    Model X : Need help with Decision

    We had to make a similar decision. Went with the 75 and don’t regret it. There’s no where we can’t go with the 75, that the 100 can go. Especially, with the state of SC expansions. In fact it’s happen a few times on long road trips to see the same Tesla’s at SC’s. Kind of like we’re...

    Help Using Tesla Maps Route Planner

    I’ve rarely experienced the in car route planner to be inaccurate. Apparently it takes several variables into account in real time. In turn, it’s proven more accurate than other online planners. For example, I can use 380wh/mi traveling at 70mph at 50degrees, or 280wh/mi at 65degrees. The in...

    Supercharger - Rolling Meadows, IL

    I don’t charge here often, but one time recently coming back from Rockford I got the last open spot. I wish Tesla would put a charger in Huntley @ 90 & 47

    Supercharger - Maumee, OH

    The first stall is a front pull in. The SC is in a good location with food and Meijer in the parking lot. Good bbq place, forgot the name but the brisket was great!!

    Supercharger - Sandusky, Ohio

    This is not a bad stop. It’s in the Meijer parking lot but tons of food stops nearby. Great Wolf Lodge is walking distance, it’s next to the Meijer.

    Enhanced Summon: slow-mo driving in parking lots

    The argument may be that you don't need bumper cameras to get around the parking lot. Two eyes do well enough. But besides my X, my other car has parking cameras all over the damn thing and it is defiantly better than my two eyes. Ive become so deponent on them that when driving the X I...

    $2000 FSD Poll

    Remember the going private deal. Elon made it clear he can speak for himself, not Tesla. I'd rather have it in writing from Tesla than a tweet from Elon. The fact that Tesla has not put it in writing, makes me suspicious. Guess if it was in writing form the company I'd still be suspicious...
