    Model X Window Tint Pictures

    I am planning on getting window tint on the new X. We have the midnight silver and white syntec seats. What are some of you getting? Lets share pictures. This is ours with no tint yet. Wife wants 55% Photosync and I want 35% Trying to decide.

    Traded the P85+ for the XP90D

    Well, we did it. Had some great memories with the P85+ along the entire California coastline. It was a pleasure driving all 42,000 miles on electric power. Hope it goes to a great home. The S was a great leap forward for us to a green household and when my wife saw the X at the launch...

    Sitting in 3rd row and watching for 2nd row seat

    My retired colleague came over today with his X and I wanted to try out the 3rd row seat. So I made my way there, sat down and pulled the 2nd row back. I immediately noticed that my right foot was in the way of the pillar that scoots the seat back. Anyone else notice this? Seems to be a...

    2 Sets of Wheels with TPMS

    I was wondering if it's possible to have two sets of wheels (19"s / 21"s) with TPMS calibrated to the car. How does this work? Would we be able to just swap out the wheels / tires or do we need to calibrate the set each time we have it installed?

    Trip to Carmel

    My wife and I are planning a short trip to Carmel in the MS. Anyone made this trek from the Bay Area? Did you need to charge on a round trip? TIA

    Clicking From Suspension

    We have noticed recently that when we first start the car after it has been sitting (either overnight or not driven for several hours) that on initial turning of wheels that there are clicking noises coming from what sounds like the suspension system. Anyone else?

    Tire Replacement Poll for P85+ Owners

    A bit surprised that we had to change out our tires in just 11,000 miles. We were told that the inside was completely bald. He did say that it is natural for the camber to go off naturally over time and because these are high-performance tires that needing to change the tires at my current...

    OptiCoat in Santa Barbara

    My daughter has a scheduled delivery date of 6/10. She will be picking it up and have lunch with us, then drive home to Santa Barbara that night. I recommended she get the Opticoat put on, but she cannot stay in the Bay Area to get it done as she has to get back for work. Anyone here know of...

    Charging Amperage Set?

    For some odd reason, after 5.9 we noticed that by default, the amperage is set to 40. Previously, we had it set to 28 and it stays there, but after the 5.9 update we have to manually adjust the amperage every time. Perhaps we are missing something? Can someone point us to how to set this...

    Water Dripping In

    Anyone have this happen? After having the car detailed, we went out for a grocery run and my wife who was wearing shorts at the time felt something wet on her right calve. Then she looked at the lower left side of the door and you can see water running in. She wiped it up and every time I came...

    Supercharging Issues - Frequently Charging at Lower Amperage

    I just wanted to reach out and see if others are having the same issues. Of late (past 3-4 months), we have noticed that when we get to a supercharging station, and plug in, frequently the LED ring turns red. It would often take 4-5 tries in the same bay before it would turn green. Also...

    That was so close!

    Boy that was a close one as I thought I would have to get the car towed. The cold zapped more power than I expected with a loss of 30%. Anyone know how much juice is really left over? It went from "0" to "Charge Now" when I had 2 miles left to get home.

    TPMS extra set?

    So I was thinking about going with 19"s since we will be spending more time in our cabin during the winter months and wondering this: If we purchased an extra set of tires, can our MS read two sets of wheels with TPMS? I would rather just be able to swap wheels and tires instead of getting...

    Battery Tender?

    I recall reading on this forum that the 12V battery will go low if the vehicle is not driven for an extended period of time. I am doing a family trip in a couple weeks and would like to know what battery tender brand are you using. TIA

    In the snow?

    In just 3-4 months we will start getting snow in Tahoe. I have a cabin there and love bringing my grandkids up. I was wondering if anyone's made a trek through snowy conditions with chains and is it a no no for the MS?

    Rear Jumpseats

    I didn't order my P85+ with jumpseats as my kids are all grown up now. But I couldn't help but notice just how close it is to the rear when I was driving to get groceries this morning and saw another MS with children in the rear. Is it me or does it make some of you uneasy? Has Tesla...

    It's Here! And Wowsers

    Woohoo. It has been 6 years since I've bought a new car. The Great Recession kept me on the sidelines from any frivolous spending. Fortunately, I've done well in recent years and with the benefits of Tesla and seemingly increasing gasoline prices every quarter, this makes real sense. At least...
