I agree with Sunwarriors. Additionally, investors like me are often interested in whether it's time to sell all or buy back in. Knowledgeable investors are valuable regardless of whether they (currently) own shares of TSLA. This forum would be more valuable if it had more discussion of facts and...

Thanks very much for the update. Now, I am planning to use it tomorrow instead of going to Greenville.

To reiterate JAlbury825’s post above: Almost finished! Here are a few photos.

Construction is progressing. The site is easily available driving west on 39th Av (FL-222) and turning left at the Circle K gas station at the NW 92nd Court traffic light. Or, driving east passing I-75, going about one block, and turning right into the driveway between the Circle K and the...

A wall connector and any EVSC or cable needs to plug into a receptacle (which is connected to an electrical circuit/panel) or be hard-wired into an electrical circuit/panel. There must be a circuit breaker on the circuit to protect against short circuits, overload, overheating, fire and other...

Agreed. Over the last several years, my 50 amp 240v receptacles have charged my Model X and Model 3 more than adequately at 20-35 mph.

You will need/want a 240v receptacle. You may be able to simply use the cable that comes with the car to connect the receptacle to the charging equipment in the car. You probably do not need a separate charger (EVSE).

Many ChargePoint chargers are free, but you need a ChargePoint account to access them (RFID card or app). They are located in a number of publicly accessible parking lots. I am a Tesla owner who had used them a number of times and never had to pay.

My wife is your size. She says she has no problem sitting on a cushion and driving the MX.

If you will be stopping overnight, stay at a hotel with a destination charger. This will allow you to leave in the morning with a full charge without spending any time at a supercharger.

Only about four units with charging cables had been roughed in as of March 15. Photo would not post here. These units are located off of SW 35th Blvd, across a driveway behind Chili’s and Starbucks, about five “blocks” east of I-75. Also, a Cheesecake Factory is scheduled to open adjacent to...

Your wish has been granted. These SCs are on the side of the Whole Foods, not in front. Also, as indicated in the photo, a reasonable distance from that building. There are four Chargepoint EVSEs in front, near the entrance and I have never seen more than one ICE in them. Of course, your...

Yes. This has occurred infrequently (but sometimes dangerously) with the driver’s door, the trunk and the FWDs.

2017 MX and 2015 Nissan Leaf. Bought my last gasoline February ‘17. Electric chainsaw and trimmer. 9kW solar array.

I have recently charged a couple of times at the Asheville Supercharger and have encountered no problem. Initial speeds exceed 300 mph tapering to more than 200 mph.

As far as I know naming your car is personal and the same name can be used on multiple vehicles. This is to be distinguished from purchasing a personalized or vanity license plate in a given state.

Yes, particularly a long, overly-complex story (relating not only to the car itself but to the 3 1/2 years between placing my reservation and delivery -- and not including my first encounter with service)

Megillah

I previously stated (post # 8 above) that I had found a fix for this annoying problem: "The phone still connects for making calls, but doesn’t play music automatically." I was too optimistic. The MX continues to grab our phones and play music even when Music and my phone app are "off." It is...

My sticker says five USB ports. I can only find four in my 5-seater.

Tesla's estimated delivery time was accurate and varied only a little between the first estimate and delivery.

My 5-seater Model X does not appear to have a separate option to turn on rear air conditioning either. In the rear seats, the A/C provides cooling through the center console and B pillars. Both provide little circulation relative to fan speed, but I have no experience yet with whether cooling...

I am not sure whether this addresses your concern about connection to your phone when the car is off, but my solution may still be helpful. My MX automatically grabbed my iPhone through Bluetooth and turned on and played my playlist. This was a pain and wasted my phone battery. (Tesla should...

I am contemplating a road trip in an MX 90D in the next few weeks. I have checked with various trip planners and don’t foresee any problems. I would appreciate it if anyone has any comments or suggestions re the section from Macon through Augusta to Asheville. Thanks.

I hope the following is responsive to your question: Order Tesla — December 19, 2016 Confirm Order — December 26, 2016 Assigned VIN — in MyTesla Assigned delivery range and updated — in MyTesla and orally

I ordered December 19, 2016; order confirmed December 26, 2016. On February 22, 2017, I received an email notification that production of my MX90D would occur during the week of March 6, 2017. For months, I have been told orally numerous times that delivery would be in mid- to late March...

VIN assigned January 11, 2017 Order confirmed December 26, 2016. Ordered December 19, 2016, Configured March 26, 2016 Reservation August 2013 No formal estimated production or delivery date yet. Prior to order, delivery orally estimated as March, possibly February.

Congratulations, Beth! Enjoy it in good health!

True, hell won't freeze over. I do not even expect a problem. Even losing the "free" supercharging would not be a big deal to me financially. But, morally, it has been part of the Tesla offer that I accepted when I gave them my deposit more than three years ago. This is like when the initial...

A reservation entailed a $5000 deposit only. I was first invited to configure the MX on December 7, 2015. Production of the 5-seater did not begin until November 2016. I "ordered" the MX in December 2016, with no ability to self-confirm.

I am not able to confirm my order or hasten the confirmation date. I suppose there can be no delivery date on MyTesla due to lack of a confirmed order. I received only a verbal estimated delivery. I suppose that delivery will be early enough to avoid any problem with the April deadline. If...

I posted this heads up because of the ambiguity of Tesla’s language and the uncertainty regarding information from Tesla staff. Tesla has consistently used the term “ordered.” “It depends on what the meaning of ‘ordered’ is.” Until an order is confirmed, it is not binding, not a contract, and...

Option to Confirm Early Has Been Removed I ordered my MX90D today. My order will automatically confirm in a week, on 12/26/16. I expected to be able to confirm immediately, but Tesla has apparently removed the option to confirm earlier than a week after ordering. (I was told that this is...

Good news! I spoke with two Tesla stores today. Both informed me that the MX 5-seater will go into production at the end of November. If anyone gets a reliable description or photos of the 5-seater rear-floor configuration, pls keep us informed. (I was also told that the 100kWh battery...

I spoke with the Tesla Orlando store on September 8, 2016. I was told that production of the 5-seater would start in time for delivery at the end of the year (with an estimated time from production to delivery of 6-8 weeks). I was told that the second row will be on monoposts and that the...

My 2015 Leaf is not loud and certainly not insanely loud.

Sure, bonaire. Good eye! The Leaf is garaged in Asheville, North Carolina.

I have taken another step toward my long-term goal of all-electric driving. After waiting three years for the 5-seat MX, we unexpectedly purchased a used 2015 Nissan Leaf. We love the Leaf. It meets all of our local needs. It has plenty of range (“only” 80 miles) and goes up our steep hills...

Welcome, Peter. We look forward to hearing from you and helping however we can.

Some possible news, some of which may even be reliable. I just received conflicting information from a Tesla store and HQ. This leaves me basically where I was at the time of post # 7 above. I received a call from a Tesla store asking if I wanted to order the new smaller-battery MX. I asked...

Thanks, Scottf200, for the photos. I agree with the consensus: The five seat configuration should recover usable cargo space with a large, flat floor and post-less, folding second-row seats. It's unfortunate that we will probably learn about the configuration on this site before we have any...

Glad to hear that he's OK!

I have been informed that the Jacksonville, Florida Tesla store as a Model X available for test drives.
