    Model X front license plate bracket

    Just got my plates for my new Model X100d, and noticed that the old bracket from my tradein had disappeared. Anyone know where to get that?

    Trying to make sense over PPF and Ceramic Coat ...

    I have read these posts, and now want the front end done. Trouble is, I'm way up on the Oregon border, and don't know any shops that do it. Does anyone know of such a place in Grants Pass, Medford, or Eureka, California?

    Biggest difference with my new X

    I can't argue with your facts. But, here's the counter, I'm 73 years old, with 4 kids, each earning over 100k, so they don't need my money. I couldn't think of any other thing to spend the money on.

    Biggest difference with my new X

    I probably gave away some on the trade; I got a value of $58,000. I could have undoubtedly got more with a private sale, but I live in a very poor community (on the coast, at the Oregon border, our only attraction is Redwood National Park, and of course the fishing, both in the ocean and the...

    Biggest difference with my new X

    "New batteries in full production is 2-3 years away. By then, X will probably get a a redesign and new batteries, then it's time to upgrade again." That was my conclusion as well. There's NO DOWNSIDE! If a new design comes out in a year or two (realistically, that's the soonest), we just get...

    Biggest difference with my new X

    I loved my blue 2017 X100d, but I admit it, I like to trade in after 3 years. This was particularly ridiculous because my 2017 was absolutely perfect. My only criticism was the range--at 85% charge, I could get 250 miles. That's ok, but for trips, I had to use better route planner and...

    Model X postponed indefinitely?

    I ordered my 100DX around August 31st, and the new blue one is in my garage. Not a single defect that I can find. Since I live way up on the north coast, they delivered it on a trailer for free. Only time I've ever gotten a new car in my driveway with only 7 miles on it!!!!! Model X100d...

    Trading in a X100d

    I'd really like to purchase a new model X. I have a 2017 X100d, in absolutely perfect condition. Not a mark on it. 34000 miles. But I go online, and there's no way to arrange a tradein on a new one. Any suggestions? My closest dealership is probably in Portland, OR. 2017 X100d, FSD, all...

    Help! Automatic drivers door won't open

    Do you by any chance have the part number? I've emailed Rocklin to see if they could just ship me the part. (I'm 7 1/2 hour drive away) If you still have the invoice I'll bet it's on there. Tom Owen

    Help! Automatic drivers door won't open

    It's not locked, as I can open the back door and push on the drivers door from the inside. Any suggestions? When I push on the door handle, I can hear some mechanical movement, but the door doesn't open.

    Tesla 3 Performance v. Porsche 911 4S

    I had the 3500th 240Z produced. It was on the lot in Prosser, WA, and they didn't know what they had. In the Bay Area, in 1970, they started at 7500, used. I got it for list price. The radio was a blast--its search function had the station pointer travel down a wire until it hit a station.
