    Full Self-Driving Hardware and front license plate

    I asked the question with the picture of another owner's car demonstrating a mounted license plate. I want to be sure not to cause trouble if I mount a license plate like this. Interestingly, Torklift let me know that they cannot guarantee that their plateholder with a mounted license plate...

    Quick Q regarding airport parking. 3 days fine?

    As some of the posts point out, your settings are very important. I once parked my Model X outside on a cold night in Northern New Hampshire and found that the range dropped from 136 miles to 116 miles. Since making appropriate adjustments to the settings, there has been no significant range loss.

    AP 2.0 and Autosteer

    Used Autosteer yesterday for about 100 miles after receiving the 17.5.28 update. I noticed that when the highway bends to the right and there is an exit at that bend, the car drove unto the exit on three different occasions. This happened in areas where I had not driven with Austosteer before...

    AP 2.0 and Autosteer

    Just received a new Model X with AP 2.0 hardware. The most recent software update in the car is v8.0(2.50.180). I seem to have no access to Autosteer capabilities at all. It seems that others have mentioned this problem but I cannot find the threads. Has everyone with the new hardware and...

    Full Self-Driving Hardware and front license plate

    My Model X has the new full self-driving hardware. Do you know if the "The Law - Tesla Model X Front License plate Bracket X7340" from Torklift will or will not obscure any of the front cameras or the radar unit?

    VisibleTesla

    Just became aware of VisibleTesla and installed the app on Ubuntu Linux 16.04. Our vehicle is a Model X P90D. The displayed image in the VisibleTesla app is of a Model S 60. Why does that occur?

    Automatic daily charging to 90% ?

    Thank you Ames. I wasn't worried. Just trying to understand.

    Automatic daily charging to 90% ?

    When my Model X is charged to 90%, I find that the rated range is 220 miles and a message stating that charging is complete. If I then don't drive the car for a couple days but leave the charger connected, I find the the rated range has dropped. Sometime I find the rated range is as low as 212...

    Range with MX90D

    This may help a little to understand range and Wh/mi. In Degredation of battery? several contributors seemed to agree that 72.2kW are available on a 90 kW battery at 90% charge. If consumption has been 430 Wh/mi, then if continuing under the same conditions for 100 miles, the consumptions would...

    Finding a Supercharger in a large parking area at night

    On arriving at a Supercharger destination, occasionally it is difficult to find the Superchargers in a large parking lot. This has been particularly noticeable when trying to find the Superchargers at night. Is there a web site or a phone application that actually describes the location of the...

    Degredation of battery?

    My car is a P90D. On evtripping.com, where I can see some of my vehicle logs, I see that on my battery I have 71.4 kWh remaining at 89% charge. Since 89% of a 90 kWh battery is 80.1 kWh, why is there such a difference?
  19. volkerbradley

    X: What's your 90%?

    Hmm, I leave mine plugged in as well. However, after the charge to 90% is completed, the system behaves as if it is no longer connected to the charger. I still get 6 -8 miles of vampire drain during the next 24 hours.

    Rate of charge at using a NEMA 14-50 outlet

    I've made arrangements to charge my P90D at a campground in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. They have NEMA 14-50 plug. If my battery is at 20% when I start charging and I plug in at my Tesla 80 AMP home charger, the display states that the charging rate is about 41 miles/hr. If the car battery...

    Preparations for a 2500 mile trip?

    I have never stopped at an RV Park for the purposes of charging. What do you say to the management of an RV Park when you just want to stop there for charging? Do you offer to pay a certain fee, is there a better time of the day to show up, etc?

    Charging time at Supercharger in cold weather

    Your reply was most helpful. According to the Tesla Supercharge Time Calculator, I should be able to charge from 40 to 170 miles in 35 minutes and 12 seconds. I charged from 48 to 176 miles in 40 minutes. Thanks for helping me understand the charge times.

    Charging time at Supercharger in cold weather

    Yes, I sure am acquainted with the supercharger curve/taper. The taper shows a rapid charge up to 80% battery capacity. As you saw, I was well within the rapid charging section of the graph when I had only added 101 miles in 30 minutes instead of the 170 advertised. I guess my question is, have...

    Base price of Model X

    New Hampshire bases the registration fees of a car on the base price of the car. At the Tesla web site where can one see the base price of the Model X? You'd think that it is located on the Tesla web site but I cannot find it. Also is a there a place that shows the features that are included in...

    Delivery of Model X?

    Have any of you Signature Reservation holders received your Model X? If so, how long did it take for the Delivery Specialist to call you after the order was confirmed? Also, how long did it take to deliver the car after you spoke to the delivery specialist?

    Insurance for the Signature Model X

    What kind of insurance would you buy for a new Tesla? I am concerned that if someone should total my car within a few months of purchase, then I might be faced with a huge financial loss. Insurance policies generally only replace the market value of the car at the time of the accident. What do...

    Front license plate

    There are devices that make it possible to add a license plate to the front of the Model S without putting any screws into the body. Included is a picture of one of these devices from Torklift Central. I was just wondering if there is a similar grill on the front of the Model X as there is on...

    Wheels for Model X?

    Could you help me choose the wheels for my Model X? I prefer the 20 inch wheels but I see that there are two types of wheels available. I have included a picture of the wheels that I see on the configurator. Which one of these wheels would you choose? Why? Thanks.
