    Another tragic fatality with a semi in Florida. This time a Model 3

    Could be, I hope so. I can tell you that wether it was 3/10 or up to a mile, it’s not looking good for AP. But let’s see what Tesla comes out with.

    Another tragic fatality with a semi in Florida. This time a Model 3

    I drove by the scene of this accident last week. I’m a 6 year Tesla owner. Started with an S I currently drive an X with gen 2 ap. I was heading sb on 441 and came upon the 18 wheeler first. There are plenty of farms on the west side of this road, so 18 wheelers crossing 441 is a common...

    Model S maintenance is more expensive than gas cars?

    I had my S for 3.5 years. never service planed it. Never had an issue aside from a whining sound in the motor. They replaced it. You have 8 years unlimited miles on the motor and battery. I had 77K miles when I turned it in for my X.

    Tesla is ripping off customer?

    lighten up! This car company has changed the automobile industry! you get free over the air updates every other month! the service is peanuts compared to an ice car. do the math for cost of ownership, pay the $500 and be done with it. Nobody's trying to rip you off! you're playing with the big...

    X and Airstream Bambi - the new adventures 2017

    Very impressive. I spent my youth in an Airstream during summer vacations and enjoyed every moment of it! I traded my S in for an X and took delivery late march. We are taking a road trip in June from Florida to Quebec City and then to our vacation home in Mont-Tremblant. Although we'll stay in...

    Rear seats Model X Entertainment systems

    since these are docked iPads, the kids can dock them or pull them off at will. The best part is that it charges the iPads while docked. It's the only way I can get them to charge anything!

    Rear seats Model X Entertainment systems

    you'd have to be standing still while getting rear ended by a semi for those to fly towards their face. You'd also have to remove any unsecured opjects in the cabin.

    Rear seats Model X Entertainment systems

    Your seats are made by CinemaTech in Texas. My company is Cinematechs in Florida. We both opened the same year without knowing the other existed. They manufacture seats, we automate homes, yachts and commercial businesses. We do carry their line and believe in the quality of their products. Enjoy!

    Rear seats Model X Entertainment systems

    Yes, I had to cut an opening for the mounts' electronics. I also had to use bolts to keep them in place. I did contact Tesla prior to my experiment and found out that the seat backs are only $130 to replace if I wanted to remove the system down the road.

    Model X : Rear entertainment options

    I know! I was going to Xpel the covers. they wanted $200 each until I found out how much replacement ones would be. So far, I've nailed the measurements and haven't had to replace them. I'm more worried about what my children can do to them.

    Model X : Rear entertainment options

    Thanks Sean, 1&2. The iPads get fitted with a special case. It's a strong hold that'll handle any bump and practically live through an accident without coming off. Just a pull will take it off and a light alignment touch will get it docked. They can be turned while docked and be used both...

    Rear seats Model X Entertainment systems

    My last 3 SUVs had rear entertainment systems for my Kids. I was a little disappointed when placing my X order that there weren't any options available. So, I decided to custom retrofit my X with products I've used in my home automation company. I installed two new 9.7 iPads with special cases...

    Model X Rear Entertainment Solution

    The docks do get permanently installed and are powered by the car's 12v system. If the owner wants to remove the system later, Tesla charges $130 for replacement back panels.

    Thanks for the preview! My Black X90D is going in on Thursday to get all mine painted high gloss black. I originally wanted the black 22s, but my 21s on my previous P85 MS cost me 5K a year.....so, no.

    Bad repair experience, Tesla needs to open up

    remember, fair market average rates for body shop repairs is different with a Lexus or Infiniti as it is from a Tesla, 911, or i8. call other body shops which repair those other vehicles and ask them what their hourly labor rates are. they'll be around the same price

    Bad repair experience, Tesla needs to open up

    The issue is with the insurance company. They should cover the damages. That's why you pay premiums. They usually save money off of 3rd party parts manufacturers and body shops that squeeze out high volumes so that they can be more profitable by not paying higher rates. the problem with high end...

    FIRMWARE UPDATE! AP2 Local road driving...and holy crap

    People are choosing to buy a Tesla, They are choosing to use AP even though it clearly states it is at their own risk. It clearly states on their website that AP has begun rolling out and that features will continue to be introduced as validation is completed.

    FIRMWARE UPDATE! AP2 Local road driving...and holy crap

    I'm seeing a lot of kids who are throwing tantrums because they are too impatient. Tesla is a tech company that, alike all other tech companies, have shown us a glimpse into it's future software potential if we buy it's new hardware now. The only difference is that they are extremely careful as...

    100D not available to update order that has free supercharger option per Tesla rep

    I'm going with the free supercharger for life. kWh is only $0.20 now. What will it be in 5 years when state and federal governments decide to impose taxes on purchasing electricity. Cell phones, Directv, ISPs all have serious taxes which comprise of most of the bill. I've had my S for over 3...

    Did Tesla mess up your paint job?

    I was told by my Opti-Coat Pro detailer to NOT have the Tesla delivery team touch the paint. I listened to him and requested it to my DS. He seemed puzzled that I didn't want the car detailed, but he granted my request. Opti-Coat was the best decision that I made on any of my vehicles and will...

    Ugh. Another Model S fire - 2013-11-06

    The fires aren't the main focal points here. We have to look at how safe this vehicle is. Of all the known Tesla crashes, how many serious injuries or fatalities have we seen? In all 3 fires, has anyone been hurt? How long did it take for the car to ignite? It's not time to sell your S nor the...

    Cinematechs' Delivery

    Well, It's been 3 Days since I've taken delivery. I can honestly say that, as excruciating as the wait was, it simply magnified my Tesla experience. The entire process from order to delivery has been excellent. Sure, there were a few bumps in the road that I would probably attest to TM being a...
