    Model X Next Refresh

    On my 3rd Tesla (13 Model S, 17 Model S, and 16 Model X). The model X was an early VIN <1500 and getting long in the tooth.

    Thinking about Buying New Inventory Cars

    Have both a model S and an X but the S was recently totaled so need to buy a new one. Spoke with the sales rep and it seems not much available in terms of 75d with a discount. They have a P100DL available with about 3k miles and new MCU for 11k off. I will probably lease so won’t get the tax...

    Google Home/Assistant Tesla Commands

    I know there is an Alexa service somebody created to summon their Tesla, is anybody here working on a Google Home version? I looked through IFTTT and didn't see anything made available to the public. Would be nice to voice control my S or X via Google Home if somebody is working it.

    Upgrade S85 to P85

    So I reached out to Jerome a few weeks back to inquire about cost and feasibility to get an upgrade from S85 to P85. I told him that it seems you can go from a 40 to 60, 60 to 85, and P85 to P85+. While this is all good, there are probably quite a few of us who would like to see if it is...
