I’ve been using the Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season Plus in those sizes over th past 2 months. They’ve been solid, happy with the choice. I have noticed only a marginal increase in wh/mi compared to contisilents, maybe 5-10 wh/mi more. I only have a 60d so my max speed is 130mph anyways (H...

I'm with you. I am not super picky about things like panel gaps or paint work, but I've needed a few things addressed over the 2 years we have owned our X. I go for mobile service anytime possible but I think 1 hour drive would be the max I would be willing to live away from a service center.

CA driver here. Progressive gave me good rates, just wanted to make sure you checked them out for Tesla if you haven’t. I know it varies per person but I pay only $300 more on Progressive for a 2016 model x and 2018 model 3 than i did on Allstate with a 2002 Camry and 2008 Accord... and I have...

Summer infant 3D lite fits Britax b-agile does not fit

For those affected just curious: - do you think frunk is safer if you have to actually leave stuff in car? - did any of the dash cam videos help, or as mentioned above are police too busy and this too small even if you had security? - do you all think an alarm like the one just released by Tesla...

Yep! You can manually press the AC button to turn it off, and also control recirc separately

This is really helpful, thanks! Really appreciate you did this, and hope air clears soon for you all up north. I try to remember to run it in recirc and I'll definitely do that more now. I think it resets modes back to auto when you turn off and turn the car back on, wish it didn't do that...

I’m in this boat too. We have AP on our X and didn’t get it on our 3 thinking we would be happy without it for short commutes. It just didn’t feel like a Tesla without it though and so we added it to the 3 later at the reduced upgrade price $5500 (like it is temporarily again now).

I went with the WeatherTech cut to fit all vehicle mats. They cover about 90% of the floor and were $30 at Costco. Importantly for me they didn’t smell at all. Disclaimer: Yes I live in California now though, where they are definitely enough but I used to live in the Midwest and I think they...

You’ll be fine and will never miss going to the gas station. Go for it!!

I think AP1 is reasonable if you are getting a pretty good discount or there is a good chance you’ll keep the car for only 3-5 years. Otherwise I would hold out for AP2 since as MXWing said above, AP1 isn’t getting upgraded anymore. At this point AP1 probably does the high majority of what is...

I had asked earlier too and had no luck. Reus was more than i wanted to spend. Good luck and please let us know what you decide on!

It is likely it does, but for about 1 month, i think around like 2/2017, they offered an “enhanced air quality” package for cars without PUP to add BWD and HEPA filter.

You know it! Part of my justification was easy qualification for Sapphire Reserve!

Agree—it seemed to have improved after driving more

Hard for me to nudge here but is there enough physical room to open the doors all the way up (if the sensors weren’t stopping it)? Then you could use the “open fully at this location” which for me works on one door and on the other FWD it opens up 90% of the way and if needed, I manually...

I’m sad to admit I was a post purchase at $5500, one of those 1-2%. I would definitely have bought it at original purchase if post purchase price was $7k at that time, I hope they do a behavioral economics study on this one day with their results. Stay strong those of you who can, maybe Tesla...

Wow I agree that’s steep!! More pressure to order it before delivery

Man at 12.5k miles, for the X you may have already run through half the tire life. I only had 21k miles on mine and needed to replace the rear tires, so I replaced all 4 I would recommend 3rd party. I went to Discount Tire and replaced all 4 of my tires with Pirelli Verde All Season Plus for...

That’s a really good point, would not have thought of that. I traded up from a 2008 Accord. It could have gone another 100k miles probably, and as our secondary car only really for commuting, I did not see any ICE worth trading the Accord in for this purpose. Similarly i didn’t have enough...

Can you provide more details about this? I have AP2 only so looks like Tesla’s integrated solution is not coming for me and figured it must be possible to tap into this somehow. Do you splice from the power supply to mirror, and reconnect wires back to the self dimming mirror and dash cam so it...

Yup—my situation exactly. I just couldn’t get myself to wait for fear of losing the full tax credit.

Me either. Received on X last weekend, still waiting for it to come to our 3.

Same--hopefully it comes back in another version. That being said, I'm impressed with the 360 degree view of cars for blindspot checking. I feel like it's been pretty decent and I might be able to trust it enough that I won't miss the rearview camera on top? My main purpose was for quick check...

Hope they didn’t give you a hard time. I’d have trouble rejecting the car after waiting that long but I think you did the right thing. Not only spending $80k but also you did pay extra for the paint job... now if they offered to fix it and refund you $2000 for your troubles or something, maybe i...

Are you saying your SC manager is saying to leave the garage door closed, put car in reverse, and car will know to open the garage door? I’m not so sure about that one... I feel that’s a recipe for backing right into the garage if I understood that correctly. Hopefully people’s parking sensors...

You made a good choice. I wish I did the same in retrospect, especially as I paid the $5k again on my model 3. right now I'd be pretty happy with AP2 where it is IF i had only paid $2500.

I haven’t had any differences in false braking between our X with AP2 and 3 with AP2.5. Sometimes I noticed after a software update our X would falsely brake under a bridge. Super unnerving. My 3 seems super sensitive though in terms of the automatic emergency brake warning, like detecting...

I just put on Pirelli Scorpion Verde plus tires. Replacing all 4 at Discount Tire was about $800 ($179 per tire plus installation). Road noise seem same as contisilent, have not seen significant range reduction (so far 5% if any), handling and acceleration seem similar (but I have a 60d so not...

I just had the 2 year annual maintenance. I skipped first year. As part of the job they overcharged my AC (so didn’t work) and 2 caps were left off (brake fluid and one other fluid). Since the AC didn’t work, I had mobile service come by to diagnose AC issue where he noted the missing caps...

Haha—i know the feeling. I originally had not gotten EAP on my model 3 but after they dropped price temporarily by $500 for after the delivery upgrade, I had to. Just wasn’t a full Tesla to me without EAP

This is good to know! 60d price is still $4500 but I’m still holding out hope they drop it to $2000... but good to know if I have a bad experience that there are other avenues.

Well, I ended up caving. We have EAP on our X but did not get on 3 as I figured my daily commute it short. However, for me it just didn’t feel like a Tesla without getting autopilot, and the trial honestly convinced me since I got to use it a few weeks on our 3. I still think price for me is too...

I agree as well. This is supposed to be an SUV, I feel like tesla should cover this under warranty. OPs post to me doesn’t seem out of the realm of what this car should be able to handle

I just put on pirelli scorpion verde plus today. will report back in a few months. Contisilent lasted 20k miles and I do not feel we were really aggressive with them. Only had Camry/accords before so not used to tires lasting so little. But these pirellis were about $175 each (before...

Mine required full seat replacement and a few weeks for seat to come in. Hope not so for you, they seem to still be in mode to replace entire pieces rather than fix inside parts. Definitely in issue and every time I put seat down I hold my breath next time I put it back up. Another Model X...

Thanks! Definitely did do a search previously, overall looking for more basic/cheaper upgrade (maybe just a subwoofer at this point). A post I found at Teslatap, seemed to suggest premium audio out speakers in the hatch: Audio Systems for the Tesla Model S and Model X | TeslaTap But doesn’t...

I side with those saying that was a bit much. I’d always try to ask, but that just seems like officer was having a bad day or maybe this happens a lot more than the rest of us think (but then just post a sign). Thanks for warning the rest of us

In case saves you time, I had mine replaced by mobile service so definitely can be done at your home

Dang! They wanted $800 for photosync, not including sunroof Now I’m slightly bothered by the markup, oh well have too late :)

I thought they had special wipers where the wiper fluid came out of the special wipers when activated. It sounds like we are able to just change the blade on the X?

Good luck. I’m sure you still paid quit a bit so I too would be really frustrated, even if thins can be easily remedied like putting more air in the tires. It just all adds up. They had better permanently fix the power steering issue this time. Elon keeps saying if you aren’t satisfied you can...

Yes, interior is black. That was a major worry in tinting the windows but wanted heat rejection and extra UV protection just in case. From interior the 45% tint is pretty light and with windows on all sides and basically throughout the roof that helps. Also i guess the headliner is light so it’s...

That’s a good point, actually I’m really proud to own a 60d model X, and definitely everyone just knows it’s an X... although maybe i should debadge it!

I paid $600 for the windows and back windshield, $150 for sunroof. Ok price I felt overall—definitely some cheaper options out there but didn’t seem like they marked up too much for the 3 and did the back windshield in one piece. They said they’ve done like 150 model 3s so that was nice to know...

I’ll be honest, I might a little bit and i just have an LR. If mine was fully loaded i definitely would, and i am expecting a few performance 3s to smoke my LR at a stoplight and i am totally ok with that. However it’s more that I couldn’t wait any longer for the SR and wish I had more...

I went with Wincos on mine. At my installer (Monumental Workx) it was their recommendation from price for performance ratio. My car is black, I didn’t want a really dark look so I went with wincos 45 on sides and back, 70 on sunroof. It helps a ton, and I have two kids in back so the IR...

I added tint to all windows including sunroof just in case. I only didn’t on the front windshield, but to my understanding they have protection from the lamination.

Adding my car fwiw. Picked up my car early July. Attached is pic of rear window, easier to see IRL but whole back window had orange. Front roof orange also. Of note though: front roof and full back windshield are tinted.

That’s a tough one. I think you’d need to spend some time with the car to answer those questions unless EV CPO has the details. Specifically: - PUP package: Ventilated seats may suggest it has PUP, but I would check to see if it has self-presenting opening of doors as an option or bioweapon...
