    LOL! Very creative! Your idea of the extender is very reasonable, except that there is construction of five stores around the base of my building for the next year so I'd have to wait until they're done to try it. Thanks just the same for offering an option!

    Great idea! However, I don't have an UMC in my parking lot. But great suggestions on the video! I will try the last option tonight. Much appreciated! Gary

    Update from Version 2018.34b4c2b9a

    Thanks for the two great ideass! I do have unlimited data, so perhaps I can try that option first tonight! However...I assume the WiFi will be 'sensed' and this will initiate the download?

    Update from Version 2018.34b4c2b9a

    I'd like to be reasonably up-to-date with my Model X75 software. I live on the 30th floor of my apartment building here in NYC - any suggestions for WiFi for downloading, and can I initialize the downloads myself? I thought about leaving my vehicle in front of a Starbucks overnight - is this a...

    Model X 75D

    3-Month Anniversary! Yeah! Hopefully only a quick answer is needed: on the few times I've charged to 100%, the last 5% took 20 minutes - why? THANKS! ;)

    New York City | Manhattan Resident

    Since there are no free Tesla Superchargers in NYC but at JFK, I have to go to Tarrytown, NY or Paramus, NJ to charge. Since I only use the car on weekends, it's workable. My ask: Tarrytown is 20 miles away - Paramus, NJ is 15 miles away - can I recharge to 100% and then drive 20 miles (or 15...

    Derek - can't thank you enough! Now I'm actually looking forward to the next excursion!

    Thanks so much for the response - good information that I was not aware. I live in a high-rise apartment building in New York City with no charging devices in the parking garage.

    Model X Battery Charge Questions

    1. Is it okay to fully charge the battery the night before if I'm planning to drive locally all day the next day? 2. While charging, should running the A.C., heat, or other accessories be kept at a minimum? Much appreciated!

    Struggling with Recalling Driver Seat Profile - Model X

    Just got the vehicle two days ago - can't seem to get my driver's seat to return to it's original stored and saved position. For example, if I move the seat back, I would expect to press the Seat Profile Button with my name, and have it return to those settings. I've checked the Owner's Manual...
