    Tesla making noise when driving (battery/motor noise) (NOT AC)

    I have the same issue - 85KW, 2012, 86K miles. Drive unit was replaced a few years back, this is different, front, not back. Not A/C, not some "start-up" noise. At low speeds, no radio on, a distinct sound tied to acceleration. A "whirr" or electrical sound, no through the speakers. This is...

    Low Model X Reservation Number

    I have a reservation for an X lower than 400, and would be willing to explore a post-purchase transfer for someone interested in getting one of the early Model X's. I'm in no hurry, could wait another year for mine. Need to figure this out in the next month as ordering is getting closer.

    Model X Tally

    Question(s) for the board - my Model X reservation is #371 - Non-Sig. If you switch from General Production to a Sig, do you go to the back of the line on the Sigs? Were all pre-ordered Model S Sigs & Performance delivered before the Base Model 85KW's?

    Curb Rash Repair

    Quote is $160 if I take it to Allow Wheel Repair Specialists. I bought a used, unscratched 19" from an owner in California for $245. Tesla says replacement 19" are scarce - and $500. Any other recommendations?

    Upgrading to Performance...

    ...has anyone gone through the process of upgrading a 60 or 85 to a performance model post delivery? I'd be interested to see the depreciation by month or by miles that Tesla is using - and if anyone is aware of the procedures for doing the upgrade. The 85KW performance loaner was pretty...
