    Just had cracked windshield replaced. No more ghosting!

    I wonder if this means that any new built Model X would use the same "fixed" windshield.

    How common is ghosting?

    Is Tesla installing the new fixed version of the windshield in all current production Model X? I'm holding off buying a Model X until I feel sure that it has the non ghosting windshield.

    It has been on Tesla Tap for years to have this function. In fact when I bought my car back in Sept. 2014 I asked about this and the Tesla agent said it was going to be out soon. Hmmm..

    How common is ghosting?

    Are brand new vehicles made with the windshields that have no ghosting?

    Homelink auto close reliable for you?

    Same here. Auto open has worked without a hitch. Auto close hit and miss like others have said. I have a 2014 P85 without Auto Pilot. When auto close would work OK, I put it in reverse to pull out of the garage and there would be an extra indicator saying it was going to auto close and would...

    Seats and steering wheel that move out of the way for easier ingress and egress, request to tesla

    I'd love to have it done automatically. I have a weak back and have to enter the car sideways, so I need a little more room to get in. Then I have to grab hold of the steering wheel to pull myself in position to press the button on the screen that puts me in a drivers position.

    Pleather for all...

    It does not matter with me if its leather or a good substitute. They are charging the same amount for either one. Does the synthetic material cost the same as leather to them? I saw the white material on a Model X and it seemed nice.

    Thanks, I see it now. I was looking on the main ordering page.

    Pricing changes

    Maybe I did not read it all the way but do you have to get the Premium package to just get heated front seats? Can't believe that if that is true.

    How common is ghosting?

    It's a deal breaker for me buying the Model X. I'll wait for the Model Y and see if that has the same concern. To me it is totally inexcusable to have in such an expensive vehicle. I love my Model S (P85 2014). My wife would get the SUV model.

    Major Safety Issue - Hoping a Tesla engineer watching the forums reads this!

    Since lights are a safety item, Tesla should have a separate switch, not thru a display, to override the auto. In a situation at night it would be kind of a panic mode to go thru a menu to force turn on. A standalone switch to force ON would be good to have.

    Sales and service centers in Michigan

    Sorry, I did not catch that. Hopefully someway is found to get around this situation.

    Why doesn't Tesla start its own non-profit dealership to sell in states that disallow direct selling

    Is it possible that , in Michigan anyway, to put a Tesla service center on an Native American reservation since they don't have to abide by the states rules? Maybe this was brought up before but I have not seen it anywhere.

    Sales and service centers in Michigan

    Thanks for your comment. There are a couple ones i think that are just off of a main freeway, (Four Winds for one),

    Sales and service centers in Michigan

    Currently Tesla is working on setting up a sales and/or service centers in Michigan. I was wondering maybe someone familiar with laws in Michigan would comment here. What if Tesla would get with an Indian reservation area to set one up? They have casinos in them now and get around Michigan...

    Enhanced Auto Pilot - order or not-Help?

    I would not get either one. I like to manual drive the car. Do you still get enhanced speed control (radar tracking car in front) and/or auto high beam if neither auto pilot is selected?

    Double vision (ghosting) at night through windshield?

    I really want to purchase a Model X but this windshield problem is putting it on hold. It looks like Tesla is not really going to do anything about it. They just use some spec which seeming makes no sense compared to reality. Does the Tesla windshield spec specify the brightness of the...

    First look with pictures at Tesla’s new mobile app

    Just wish they would have added control for the rear defroster. Nice to have on snow days.

    Double vision (ghosting) at night through windshield?

    This is the main reason why I will not buy a Model X. I have a Model S now and was thinking of getting an X for my wife.

    I want my Tesla now! How about a New Model S45/S60?

    And then also going to take away free charging next year. (pricing not known at this time, see what happens then).

    An Update to our Supercharging Program

    Because free charging was always present in the cars. Before I think if you wanted free supercharging (On certain cars that was optional) it was about $2000 or so extra. Now they give about 1000 miles free and may or may not reduce the price.

    Explanation for the windshield double vision?!?!

    There is another thread that a person says that his car has it and his son and a neighbor does not have the problem. I don't know if I'm supposed to post a link here to it but it is labeled as : Post # 592 by Powered Double vision (ghosting) at night through windshield?

    Model S Crashes into Store Front. Driver Doesn't Blame Tesla

    Thanks for the clarification. Interesting.

    Hard time deciding between Model S and Model X

    I'm kind of in the same situation. I have a P85 2014. I did test drive an X 75D. the back seats are definitely more comfortable than my S. My knees were also higher. The X back seats to me are similar to the front seats. Not too often would I have anybody in the back seats so that normally...

    Model S Crashes into Store Front. Driver Doesn't Blame Tesla

    Did this model have autopilot? The reason I ask is that I don't understand why the system lets the car hit a solid surface.Maybe a large glass window would not be taken as "solid". I have a P85 (no auto pilot). I know mine would not have the ability to do so. I think I heard that the car have...

    Dash locked up today.

    I was driving along for about 7 miles from home going to the office and all of a sudden the slacker music changed songs in the middle of the current song. At first I did not think much of it but noticed that my speed was not changing, it read 52 mph all the time. The clock stopped updating and I...

    I don't think Tesla will take Ghosting seriously

    Next year I was going to get a Model X for my wife. I heard about the ghosting concern with the Model X. I was hoping that Tesla would fix the problem by next year. I have not driven the car yet. I will be checking next year on the forums and see what comments others have about his. If it...

    Question on Maps when 3G cellular is not working

    I got a P85 classic in October 2014. I got all options except pano roof and 3rd row seats. When my cellular service is down the maps eventually go to a blank grid. I thought that when I got the car that it had on-board maps and as long as the GPS is working would show streets and such. Is this...

    Losing 3G Connection, While Parked, Once a Day

    I have the same happening to me for the past 3 weeks. I just posted it a couple days ago. I need to reset screen every day for 3G cellular to work. I have an October 2014 P85 classic. At my house I do not get any cellular signal but I use WiFi. When I leave the house 3G never comes up even...

    I need to reset screen every day for 3G cellular to work.

    Thanks for the reply. I also have energy saving modes off. and have "always remain connected" selected. But I do have WiFi on at house. If not then I would have no updates during the night. I have tried having WiFi off for a few days but I still had to reset the screen when I left the house.

    I need to reset screen every day for 3G cellular to work.

    I searched and could not find anything on this. I have an October classic 2014 P85. Within the last 3 weeks I have had to reset the screen (hold down 2 rotating knobs for a while) in order to have my 3G to function every day. There is no cellular service where I live. WiFi kicks in there. When...

    Tesla's autopilot - "unsupervised wannabe" - Volvo says...

    I have a P85 2014 without auto pilot. I just missed it by a couple weeks in ordering. That is OK with me, bad timing. The only thing with auto pilot that I would be concerned with is if it would make a sudden turn into another vehicle with me not having any time to react even though I was...

    Is Regen Braking different on a D vs. non D Model?

    At the same regen Kw value on both cars ,does your car feel more drag than the loaner? How far from max charge was the loaner? If car is near full charge the regen is reduced a lot.

    Can you control Cold Weather Settings via API or apps?

    I really would like to have the rear defrosters work with the remote app. The rear windows typically still have snow or ice on them even if I preheat the car for 30 minutes. I don't understand why they don't have it.
  46. rainman50

    Disappointed in app, features

    I'm also disappointed in that the rear defroster and wiper heater are not controlled via the app. I don't understand why it is not. The purpose of the app is to make it "ready" for use when you get there. It does a good job on the windshield since I set the temperature at 83 F. Does not seem...

    Take that you ICEholes!: $60 Parking Ticket for “ICEing” in Gaithersburg, Maryland

    Glad to hear some places are doing something about it. With respect to private property, can't police give a ticket for parking in a handicap spot without the proper sticker or plate. Would that be similar to the EV warning?

    Firmware 7.0 - For Classic Model S

    I agree. I have not updated yet on my P85. It looks like not much thought went into it. Just change for the sake of change. Hopefully fixed in the next update.

    Firmware 7.0 - For Classic Model S

    I agree 100%. Appearance is one thing,like you said is a matter of taste, but altering position and taking away existing functions is not merited. It looks like Tesla just did this for the sake of change.

    Firmware 7.0 - For Classic Model S

    That's a rash statement. I hear people say that all the time when someone has a rant or a rough comment. I feel the same way as he does. I have no intention of selling the car. We bought the car the way it was so don't take anything away from what we already have. This needs to be conveyed to...
