    Nickel & Dime

    Just completed one of my annual round trips to Tucson and back to Napa. I've never paid much attention to the SC charges but in reviewing my bank statement I noticed that often recently I have been getting small $2 to $3 charges following my normal charge. In each case I was charging at off...

    Performance Graph

    I recently had 2 Powerwalls installed tied into my 6.2 kW solar panels. I have not found any instructions on how to read the Performance Graph in the Tesla App. I have been configured Advanced:Cost Saving, with a 40% Reserve. If there is a published instruction on how that graph should be...

    Home Energy Totals

    I just had 2 Powerwalls installed and had the circuit used for charging my 2 Tesla's outside the backup circuit. I was surprised this AM to see that the kW for charging the cars showed up in my Energy Usage on the Tesla App. Would have thought those draws would be outside the App.

    Weak Backup Lights

    Pretty sure this was not always the case, but when in reverse the backup lights are virtually unusable. I confirmed that they are coming on, just no wattage. Anyone have similar experience?

    NorCal PG&E blackouts

    Does anyone know if PG&E will trigger any sort of warning prior shutting down power to allow for the "storm" system on the PW to charge up from the grid?

    Upgrading Current System

    I leased a 6.25 kW system from Tesla 4 years ago to support my Tesla. I have added a second Tesla and am looking to upgrade my system by 4.1 kW. I am also wanting to add 1-2 PW's. Tesla seems to be promoting just 1 PW. I'm thinking 2 makes more sense, as we have been spending 5 months a year...

    Transferring a MX from one family member to another

    My daughter wants to transfer her MX to me. Will Supercharger privileges follow that transfer?

    Dash Cam Image Problem

    I believe concurrent with a recent FW update to 8.6 I am now getting images with a severe color shift. I'll attempt to attach a screen capture. Is there an adjustment method to correct this? Same for all 3 cameras.

    Change in Delivery Location Options

    When ordered my first Tesla, my delivery was scheduled for the end of November, 2012. George Blankenship, the TM customers relations guy at the time (and a great one!) stated that delivery was to be arranged by the customer at a place that "made him/her happy." My second Tesla was arranged to...

    Now Silver gone?!

    My first Tesla, a S85 in Sycamore brown. Loved it. Brown eliminated. Sold it and got a silver X90. Love it. Silver now eliminated. We have a blue M3. Can it be long before it's eliminated? My feelings are being hurt! This is getting ridiculous.

    FW 39.6 Ghosting

    I DL'd 39.6 this weekend and it has rendered adaptive cruse and therefore autopilot unusable. Ghosting occurs on light colored/scored pavement causing false positive detection and slowing. Is this a known issue?

    Rear motor disabled

    Was backing out of our driveway and when I shifted from R to D warnings came up telling me to pull over, and not to drive. I was on a steep hill pointed down, and the car just barely moved. It would not shift into N to allow me to freewheel it down to where I could be off to the side. The...

    Firmware across Models

    I've not seen any discussion on how TM is doing firmware updates across different models. I now have 2 Tesla's (yea!) a M3 & MX. I just received an upgrade notice in my MX. Will there be any syncing between firmwares, or will they remain separate and on their own schedule? Almost seems like...

    Scary Delivery Process

    I configured my M3 on December 23rd. When I was contacted to arrange a delivery date, after a VIN# was assigned, I asked that my delivery date be deferred until Jan 27 to accommodate my travel plans. No problem I was told, but they would have assign a different VIN# once we were closer to Jan...

    Calif Plates

    I'm traveling from AZ to pickup my new M3 a week from today. I currently have personalized CA plates (LUV KWH) that I currently have on my ICE car in Cali awaiting the M3. It is my plan to drive the M3 the following week back to our place in AZ until early April. A couple of questions: 1...

    Over Charging

    Recently I've had an issue with the charging exceeding the the charge level requested. I charge during the night when rates are lower, and typically set the charge level at about 85%. This past week or so, the charging goes beyond the requested 85% to >90%. Not a good thing for battery...

    AP 1.0 vs AP 2.0 Functionality Tracking

    Is there a thread anywhere that tracks the relative functionality currently in place for each hardware suite? I currently have AP 1.0 and will be looking to upgrade to a new MX, but am concerned that the AP 2.0 functionally is still trailing behind AP 1.0. And of course, now we have AP 2.5 to...

    Bioweapon Defense Mode a help for seasonal allergies

    If you had an MX the BioWeapon filter would be the answer. Really knocks down the pollen.

    Undefined Icon

    When I start my Tess and put her into Reverse, the below icon shows up on my display. If you touch the icon it changes to a full screen view. Not sure why. Can find no reference to it in the Manual.

    Homelink & Tesla App

    Would sure be nice if there was discrete button in the Tesla App lp-for just sending an open/close signal to my garage door via the Homelink function. My garage door opener is a bit long of tooth and has no way to open or close it without the garage remote which I never have.

    12 V Battery Jump Start

    I can't seem to find any discussion about accessing the 12 V battery for jumping in the Model X. My previous Model S had issues with the 12V and it was virtually inaccessible. Am hopeful the X is better, but I can find nothing in the Manual discussing it.

    Preparing MS for change of ownership

    I know I've seen discussions about this in the past but can't seem to find them now. I just sold my 2012 MS and need to prepare it for the new owner tomorrow. Should I do a factory reset, and if so, how. Would prefer that historical navigation stuff be wiped, homelink entries eliminated...

    What if "computer" breaks?

    I'm selling my Classic MS and have a nice couple interested. They know very little about the car so were asking a ton of questions. At some point I mentioned that the Tesla was as much a computer as a car. With that she asked, what if the computer breaks, like ours do at work? Is that...

    Trunk latch cover

    On a recent service call I mentioned that there was scoring on the plastic latch cover. Looked like it needed adjustment and replacement (see attached image.) The service advisor suggested that this "normal" wear and that all X's had it. This does not seem right. Any of you folks out there...

    3rd row FWD access

    Can't seem to find how you open the FWD from the 3rd row without climbing into the 2nd row. Got to be something simple, just can't find any reference in the FM.

    Service Center Scheduling

    As have many new Model X owners, I have a short punch list of fit & finish that needed attending to. Because my SC is 50 miles away I scheduled a pickup, with a loaner delivered to my house. Little did I realize that it would be close to a week before they could even get it into the service...

    Regen differences

    Having driven my MS for 3.5 years, I've become quite effective at "one-pedal" driving. Especially in being able to predict, when turning off Cruise Control (CC), how far until I stop with Regen. Seems fairly similar to just lifting off the "go" pedal. I now have a Model X with version 2.17.95...

    HEPA Climate Selection

    Had a particularly bad pollen day out here in NorCal, so decided to give the HEPA filter a try. Here is how the manual describes it: "When you engage the HEPA option, the fan operates at the highest speed." So gave it a try. And, nothing. The fan was set at 4 and there it remained. Is there...

    GPS Fence for Trunk height

    Just got my X home and find that I cannot allow the trunk to raise to it's full height without hittting the door. Easy enough to adjust the setting on a semi-permanent basis, but would really like to be able to have the GPS location determine the heigt much like the air suspension. That way I...

    XM Satellite...where is it?

    I just took delivery of my new X with premium audio. XM does not show as a "Source" in the "Browse" tab. How do I access so that I can get the code to give to XM? Instructions from Manual: To view the radio ID: Display the Browse tab and select the XM radio source. Tune it to channel 0...

    19" spare tire

    I'm doing a cross country trip with a buddy who has a MS with a 19" spare tire. Would that work in a pinch on my X with 20" tires? Would use like the donut tires found on my ICE cars. Just enough range to get to the nearest Service Center.

    Charging X and S

    Looks like I'm about to have two Tesla's when my Model X is delivered. I don't think my electrical panel will allow a 2nd 14-50 line, so was thinking I could use timed charging so that both wouldn't be charging at the same time. We have TOU billing in Calif, so use timed charging anyway. I'm...

    Classic S died

    I got up early this am to take my dog to the groomer. When I returned to the car I got a passel of warnings indicating a 12v battery issue and to pull over. It then went black. I called Tesla Roadside Assist, and they were very responsive, but indicated that the local TM Ranger (Tucson) would...

    Software Sections

    Would seem that taking a page from Apple's forums, we should have Forum sections for software, irrespective of hardware. Now you have look in both Model S and in Model X sections to find discussion on current software versions.

    Future Hardware Upgrade

    Somewhere I read a comment that the X's front-facing camera was offset, so as to allow a second camera down the road for a more sophisticated AP. Anyone aware of this? And would this allow for a future upgrade to existing X's?

    Projected Resale Values

    I'm in the final stages of making a decision on my next Tesla. I currently have a 2012 Model S, and am considering one of 3 options. I've noted my full cost, as configured, for each: S85 - $90K S90D - $99K X90D - $111K I'm trying to rationalize the X. I feel the loss of value after 3 years...

    100% SOC Currently

    Model Sig X in Tucson?

    I'm getting ready to de-camp from Napa and move down to our winter HQ in Tucson and am dieing to see/sit in a new Model X. Are there any Model X's due to be delivered in the greater Tucson area in the next couple of months? And if so, will you be my friend?:wink:

    Death of RWD Model S?

    I see that the Model X will not be offered with RWD. Anybody hear if RWD is going to be phased out for the MS? I plan on upgrading my "Classic" MS in the near future and have grown to rely on the large Frunk. And being a Calif/AZ resident, AWD is not a priority.

    P85D Ludicrous Mode Decision

    A good friend of mine was having a conversation with a mutual friend who is in the process of ordering a Tesla. The friend has sold his big-deal Porsche Turbo and is repacing it with a Tesla. Below is how he presents the decision: "I think your last e-mail said that the 0 to 60 time was 4.2...

    Supercharging letter from Tesla 8-13-2015

    I received an email from TM 15 minutes ago that has me a bit annoyed. My take on the letter is that I had been singled out as an abuser: "As a frequent user of local Superchargers, we ask that you decrease your local Supercharging and promptly move your your Model S once charging is complete."...

    Whitefish Destination Charging?

    Going to a wedding in Whitefish, MT in August, and see no problem getting there via Missoula, but don't see a way to getting a charge for the return. Don't think a 110v plug will do it.

    Supercharger Notification if down

    I recently drove to the Sound of Silence Rally in Custer. Twice on that trip, once at Cheyenne and once at Silverthorn the Superchargers were in operative. In Cheyenne two of the 4 stations were dead, and at Silverthorn the entire mall area had a power outage that lasted several hours. I...
