    What the $#@$# is going on with Model X custom orders

    Be interesting to know what is actually going on.

    Older cars upgradable to newer Tesla chip?

    For what it's worth (nothing), Tesla still hosts this release: All Tesla Cars Being Produced Now Have Full Self-Driving Hardware IANAL

    Order to Delivery Timeline August 2019

    No clue. It could just be that they are batch producing the other colors and white seat builds are waiting their turn.

    Order to Delivery Timeline August 2019

    Heard from a birdie that the white seats are not being made/ready at the moment. Hopefully they'll be soon.

    MX17 - FalconWing Door weather stripping deteriorating - Not covered by Warranty

    Sunlight and heat aren't the same thing. That the screen can't handle temperatures isn't an "exposure to sunlight" problem. That's absurd.

    What the $#@$# is going on with Model X custom orders

    They likely build certain configs and match customers to them. If you order a config that isn't already slotted into the batch production lineup, your wait can be radically different. If I wanted tan seats instead of white, I could have a car today, e.g.

    Anyone received delivery of 2019 'Raven' Refresh?

    Maybe I shouldn't let them buyback my X and then get a raven. o_O

    Has this ever happened to you?? Unable to retract 2nd row seatbelt

    That is a warranty issue. The seatbelt retractor is broken. #onlyatTesla

    Coordinated effort to voice concerns for lack of loaner cars.

    Because who doesn't love a good laugh: From 2017: “Our policy for service loaners is that the service loaner fleet will be the very best version of a Tesla that is available” said Musk during the Q1 earnings call today. “If you have a Model X that comes in for service, the service loaner you...

    Buyback Questions

    Hi all, What do you think are the values of FUSC and free premium connectivity? Tesla are indicating to me that they'd rather buyback my X than try to fix it, but I am not sure I want to go that route -- especially because I like (even if I rarely use - just on road trips) FUSC and the idea of...

    Help, please. Tesla refuses to replace faulty DAS computer.

    Hi! After about 5 weeks, I picked up the car and within one day I got an AP error. I should've given the geniuses there more time.

    Tesla (the company) killing itself slowly?

    After almost 5 weeks at the SC, not only did I get an autopilot error on the first day I had the car back (what it was in for), but now my screen has yellowing. My car is demonstrably worse off for having been at the SC for that long. This is completely unacceptable. But who am I gonna call...

    Tesla (the company) killing itself slowly?

    @Geek190 No one was there. I emailed and texted the SC manager, but I haven't heard back. I'm going to drive to the SC on Monday and force them to actually, you know, talk to me.

    MCU Yellow Border - Fixed!

    Yep, it was fine when I dropped it off. I am sensitive to this issue because I had already had a screen replaced for it before. In 11/18. Concern: Touchscreen has developed a yellow frame on screen near the edges. Corrections: Media Control Unit - Touch Screen Removed and replaced touchscreen...

    Tesla (the company) killing itself slowly?

    Ok, not only did they give me a yellow-bordered screen, but for some reason there is another keyfob in my car. For my car. So now I have 3. UPDATE: Oh, mystery solved! We just learned that apparently our other keyfob at home has been deactivated or something. Nice of them to tell me before my...

    Everybody knows this. You can stop posting it over and over and over. We get it. PWlakewood doesn't think enough people are having problems with Tesla service to warrant calling it a big deal.

    File under: of course this ****ing happened. While my X was AT THE SC for almost five weeks, spending most of its time outside in the heat/sun/humidity, guess what happened to my screen?

    Not really. I think BMW has their own forum on the internet, though. Or is your point that you see the seriousness of bad experiences on brand loyalty and perception? I haven't had any coffee yet.

    Tesla (the company) killing itself slowly?

    That's funny. Honked it once for fun. They've left it plugged into a supercharger, which is annoying. Anyway, let's talk on Monday. I got stuff way more interesting than a phone number to talk about.

    Tesla (the company) killing itself slowly?

    Dunno. Also, as soon as I said that I would pick it up, the SC stopped replying to my text messages asking for something in writing that the "case" wasn't closed. So I might not pick it up after all. I don't trust them.

    Tesla (the company) killing itself slowly?

    I'm giving up and retrieving my X tomorrow, even though it hasn't been fixed. After watching it sit for weeks without being touched, I'd rather be able to keep it in a garage than in a parking lot. Spare me anecdotes about BMWs and Mercedes and "growing pains." This is bullshit.

    Audi etron in person, disappointing?

    That's how it goes, right? We have a 2013 Audi that has been the easiest ownership experience. Few times there has been an issue, service service has been easy and pleasant. Regular maintenance has been dirt cheap, too. Having a good local mechanic helps with that, of course. The X, on the...

    Audi etron in person, disappointing?

    I was pretty excited to go check the etron out, as my Model X has been an ownership nightmare. If there was a viable alternative, I'd jump. I don't care if it was an EV KIA. But I echo some of the other comments here. The etron is way too small in the back seats. And the range + (lack of) fast...

    Tesla (the company) killing itself slowly?

    Yes, but I had to fight to get one. Tesla is so discombobulated that I have now had this loaner for 4.5 weeks with no end in sight -- and for the last two+ of these weeks my car has been sitting untouched at the SC parking lot. I really hope the screen yellowing isn't tied to baking in humidity...

    Tesla (the company) killing itself slowly?

    It is not very easy to sell a broken car. And I wasn't the sexist jackass telling people how to spend their money or what cars are or are not appropriate for "soccer mommies." But if you'd like to buy my car, please share your offer, Mr. Bigtalk. Take your enable-ist nonsense elsewhere, or...

    Tesla (the company) killing itself slowly?

    Sorry you couldn't afford an X when your kids were little or that you think people should own lots and lots of cars to put in their big old garages in the McMansion-burbs, but neither means that I should have to have an extra car because Tesla service didn't advertise that it sucks. In fact, to...

    Tesla (the company) killing itself slowly?

    That's a heartwarming story, and if my car came with TSLA stock I'd probably be more forgiving. My X has been in service for over 4 weeks. If I had accepted Uber credit instead of fighting to get a loaner, I'd have been royally ****ed. This "more efficient model for customer service and...

    Tesla offering insurance next month

    Lies are tied to propositions. If I say, "I'm going to give you your money tomorrow" but I have no intention of doing so, I am LYING even though tomorrow hasn't happened yet. If I say "in a few months so-and-so will happen," but 1) I have no reason to justify my claim and 2) I want you to...

    Automatic Emergency Braking Failure, the Movie

    He actually said in the OP that he wanted it to make an alert (I think he said "a beep") and slow down. But you do make a good point that if he had something else, it would have been different. And I wonder why my faith in humanity continues to plummet?

    Automatic Emergency Braking Failure, the Movie

    Weird, the OP is clearly saying: 1. I screwed up. 2. When I screwed up, I ran into a bunch of barrels. 3. Running into the barrels was my fault, but it made me aware of what appears to be a limitation of the Tesla AEB system and this has given me concern about Tesla's AEB's overall function. 4...

    If that's evidence, then I'd screen cap some of Bonnie's other posts to show that she is a financially and emotionally invested -- and not an unbiased -- customer. This is surreal.
