    Recall Rear Seat replacement

    Ranger came by and did the work in about 1hr. Upper seat assembly completely replaced. The sticky latch on the right side seems to be fixed with the replacement. Seat4 by drayers posted May 24, 2016 at 2:52 PM Seat3 by drayers posted May 24, 2016 at 2:52 PM Seat2 by drayers posted May 24...

    Autopilot seeing speed limit at 110mph

    Was driving on the 110 freeway and caught this - luckily it didnt change the cruise control settings Been using autopilot since I got the Model X, but finding it more to be an assist than a replacement even on the freeways. Can't wait for fully autonomous vehicles!

    Model X Manual

    I've always just tapped the magnet and the door released - the button on the charge cable never works for me... My method isn't even listed in the manual. pg 41 Opening the Charge Port: With Model X unlocked, or a recognized key nearby, press and release the button on a Tesla charge cable to...

    Anyone else annoyed by the software controlling seat movement and positioning?

    I will delete my other post in User Interface - just noticed the same thing over the weekend, and called Service. They said it's working as intended and at this time there is no way for it to remember the seat position as it's sliding back with the middle seats... I hope they are listing this...

    Anyone else annoyed by the software controlling seat movement and positioning?

    I don't use the back row often, but noticed the few times I move the middle row forward and then back, that my driver seat configuration moves back out of the expected range for the driver profile or last known position. Also the console doesnt alert me that the seat position is different from...

    Falcon Wing Door "stuck"

    Had a similar problem on day 1 with the Model X - sensed some obstruction and refused to open or close completely because the sensor inidicated it was already closed. After 20 min of resetting from steering wheel, holding open and close buttons, it just magically closed and started working...

    April/May Deliveries Build Quality

    Problems with Model X: 90D picked up in LA 2 weeks ago, and had some issues. Frustrating that the local SC hasn't even called back to schedule an appt. Must be really busy... 1. Right 3rd row seat wont unlatch: hear it "unlock" when pressing button and head rest goes down but can't fold it...

    Firmware 6.0

    Upgrade to v6.0 from v5.9 at Torrance SC today (annual service). My thoughts on some of the changes: Nav -Navigation on the dash seems slower to update (and looks like Google map tiles); might be interesting to if Navigon shows up when no 3G -Traffic color indicators take over the map...

    Charge Cable Fault at SuperCharger

    Good morning guys! I received a Charge Cable Fault error twice while at the Hawthorne Supercharger. This was my first time ever receiving this error. Searches seem to suggest this was a problem with home charging and potentially a loose ground. Have people encountered this at the SCs? The...

    Check my math: Electric vs Gas

    omgwtfbyobbq hit it on the head. I have looked at TOU and having a separate meter for my vehicle. Currently neither are more cost effective with my peak and off-peak use and the cost of the separate meter install. I looked into getting solar panels, but my unit gets 100A from the street...

    Check my math: Electric vs Gas

    Living under SoCal Edison rates with a Tesla has triggered an unfortunate rise in my electric bill (as expected). I wanted to see how economical my new car is against a fuel efficient ICE or hybrid. Napkin math: $4/gal / 40mpg = $0.10 per mile $0.30/kWh / 3mi/kWh = $0.10 per mile Now the...

    Model S Technical / Mechanical Issues

    Quick search didnt show any other posts about problems with charge port magnet peeled off cover. Sorry no pics. Basically walked up to car and noticed the charge port hanging open. On close inspection, the adhesive on the cover was separated from the magnet on the door. I could close it and...

    Model S - Window Tinting

    I'm very interested in tinting my soon-to-be-delivered MS but somewhat conflicted about the cost. A lot of people recommend the Photosync which sounds great for heat rejection but was quoted $1350 for WS, all around, and pano. The same place offers Pinnacle F1 for about $770. (Autowerks) -In...

    Good electrician for South Bay Los Angeles/Torrance?

    Ended up just adding a 14-50 without upgrading the infrastructure - was getting quotes upwards $10k+! About $350 to change the breakers, and add the outlet.

    Charging woes

    Going to check around for a few more quotes. The subpanel is full, so I think that's why he is quoting for the switch. I don't have pics of the main panel, but the actual quote came in at $13k and that's too much! I'll choose option B - I don't cook often and will focus charging at night...

    Charging woes

    Wow! Thanks for the quick responses. 2 units on 1 lot, meter and main panel are on their unit. Each unit gets 100A. Electric range, tankless water heater To upgrade he would have to: -possibly dig out the line to the street (might be able to use existing wiring) -replace panel and meters to...

    Good electrician for South Bay Los Angeles/Torrance?

    Hi, Might need a lot of work done upgrading the electricity for the new Tesla. Any recommendations for the South Bay area? Meter is on neighbor's unit about 80ft from the garage. I think only 100A currently going to my house :( Thanks!!

    Charging woes

    Delivery 9/11 Electrician coming by today to give estimates. I mistakenly thought that the subpanel in my garage would be easy to mod and install a 14-50 or something upgradeable to CS100 or solar. But now I realize that my meter/main panel is on my neighbors unit probably 80 ft away. If he...
