    Hitch receiver size?

    Lots of questions about the hitch..Thought I'd trow a few pictures up...Let me know if you have any questions.... Very easy to install turn a key, pull out and rotate a rotating wheel 90 degrees....put in place...everything locks tight...lock and take out key...

    Nice Bike Rack for the X....

    Weight limit is 200lbs for the hitch...The 2 bike rack weight is 60lb and the 4 bike rack weighs 96lbs...so even with 4 carbon bikes you should be under the 200lb limit

    Post Initial Problems with the Model X

    Mark...I have the same sig red and the same look of the inside of the Frunk hood (even being able to see the white undercoat thru the rectangular holes....) I was told this pattern saves weight providing more range...paint not really any issue for me...

    Nice Bike Rack for the X....

    From very very preliminary and limited data, it seems to increase the power use (reduce the range) by about 10% with the rack and 2 bikes on it... I will be collecting more data to get a more meaningful number over the next couple months...

    Nice Bike Rack for the X....

    There is a spring loaded, finger rotatable ball screw that locks the lever bar into position so the lever bar will not accidentally become disengaged from the detents in which it sits. It is probably not needed as the lever bar is also spring loaded and likely would not move, but the ball screw...

    Model X Dimensions....

    Her are a couple of pics showing different seat configurations...Dimensions are from the silver threshold to the first thing the tape measure hits as it moves forward at that level..

    Got your prepare for your model x delivery email!

    I'm SIG 700 VIN 0027X.... I got the email a couple days after I put in my config (9/28)....My car entered production on 12/2....was complete by the end of the year and I picked it up on 1/5 I think the entire process was slowed for the SIG's since they were probably figuring out production and...

    Nice Bike Rack for the X....

    "Would you please show a pic or video of the the bike tilted rearward and hatch open. Is it difficult to tilt down and up with the bikes on?" I can put one up tomorrow...but with one or two bikes and the hitch tilted rearward, there is no chance for the hatch to hit the handlebars....Its not...

    Model X Frunk Strength?

    You do need to push firmly in to locations about 16 inches apart...but it closes easily...

    Ready for diving too....

    The frunk holds double 119's, an 80 and a 40 deco cylinder...plus more for gear... Anyone know where I can get a good liner?? Probably not out yet... And perhaps this heavy compressed gas is best not being transported in the frunk in case of frontal collision : )

    Model X Dimensions....

    FYI..Tesla did not say anything about copyright...After reading all the issues with copyright materials on the forums and then seeing a copyright in the manual. I decided it was best that I not include pitures of the manual in case someone may have had issues with it. So measurements were made...

    Anyone apply Opticoat Plus or protective films on the X yet?

    PaulR...Thanks for the info...I believe the X has some different sensors than the S...The door sensors are beneath the metal and there are no "dots" that show where the sensor is actually located. These are the ones I'm most concerned with...

    Anyone apply Opticoat Plus or protective films on the X yet?

    I wondering if these coatings (if placed on the fwd for example) will interfere with any of the sensors? Factory service rep didn't seem to have firm answer.... I was going to try and apply a coating immediately but I now want to wait to get some positive feedback that no functionality is...

    Will MX fit in my garage?

    @Ohmman....OK I did the test....interesting results I had my garage door closed....and the door opened completely..... even with very little side clearance It opened more slowly than in an open area because of the proximity sensing...but it opened fully.... With my garage door open, the door...

    Will MX fit in my garage?

    @Ohmman...I'll try tonight. The drivers door did a good job sensing surrounding objects and stopping appropriately (with me ready to manually stop if necessary) I wanted to make sure I can manually stop the fwd manually before I took that step...was too busy playing with all the other cool features
