    Giga Texas Grand Opening Party

    Also interested in attending the opening party at the Texas Gigafactory. Will being a Tesla enthusiast and owner of a Tesla car and Tesla stock be enough or will there be other requirements?

    What are Model X Stereo Upgrade Options?

    I was disappointed with premium sound in my 2018 Model X. High resolution files in the car were poor compared to a high quality stereo system. The Tesla speakers are special to Tesla from a company in Germany (I forget the name). The one way I found to improve the sound quality is to play...

    Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

    With the news today, glad that I extended Model X lease until December. Also, canceled order for the new Model X. Planning to reorder when the "problems" have been worked out.

    Market value of a 2018 Model X 100D?

    My lease ends June 22nd. Considering several options, one being to buy the car and then sell the car to a person within 10 days to avoid California sales tax. Choosing this option will depend on the sale price. The Model X (VIN 103,XXX) has 37,000 miles and has been problem free. Midnight...

    what is the true cost of owning a Tesla MX ?

    Similar experience after 34,000 miles and 2.5 years on a Model X 100D lease. Tires and about $40/month for electricity. Room, safety and fun to drive. Falcon wing doors have been perfect. I will continue to drive a Model X.

    X 2020 new or X pre-2017 used / free supercharging for regular long trips?

    Buy the new Model X to get the greater range and better suspension. The 100D has plenty of performance without having to pay for the P.

    Improved music quality.

    Following the recent Sirius XM software update, the music quality from Slacker plus has improved in my 2018 Model X with premium sound.

    Slacker Radio

    The most recent software update to my 2018 Model X (the update that improved Sirius XM radio) has dramatically improved the sound quality of music from Slacker Plus. I have only my ears to measure the improvement, but they are telling me that the sound quality has markedly improved. Now if we...

    Selling Model X within 10 days after lease to avoid sales tax

    Has anyone tried to take advantage of the California law that allows no sales tax if you buy Model X at the end of a lease and sell it within 10 days? With FSD, free supercharging and premium connectivity, my Model X may be worth more than the residual. Seems tricky, but might be worth the...

    Are we to pay twice for FSD in consecutively leased cars?

    If I turn in the Model X at the end of the lease, Tesla will remove FSD and require the next buyer to pay for a new FSD download. From what I have read online, if I buy at the end of the lease, FSD can be passed on to a new owner. That way I recover the cost of FSD and will end up paying just...

    Are we to pay twice for FSD in consecutively leased cars?

    Currently leasing a Model X. Purchased EAP and FSD last year before the price went up and to secure a free computer upgrade. Not sure if I will purchase the car or return the car at the end of the lease. If I return the car and lease a new one, will I have to pay a second time for FSD? Seems...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Poor wording on my part since you did provide your reasons. I can see the S and X being less than 25K in Q1 due to selling out inventory in Q4 and the focus on Model 3 to Asia and Europe in Q1. However, as in past years, Q2-Q4 make up for Q1. I do not find the information by you and others...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    I can't see S and X sales falling significantly below 100K per anum. Tesla is still expanding into new markets. S and X are the best cars (ever) in their classes. I expect demand will slowly increase above 100K per anum. Tesla will find a way to secure cells and whatever else is needed to...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    What information leads to the conclusion that S/X production will decrease from 100K to 80K per annum? My understanding is that increased efficiency of the S/X lines makes up for the cancelled shift. Also, demand remains high for both S and X.

    Lots of cars are being, have been, delivered, why then

    Elon is protecting you as a stock holder from dilution. He is also reserving any new stock for employee incentives so he can pay lower wages resulting in stronger cash flow. Elon can see cash flow into the future better than any of us. I trust he is taking the best course for Tesla and...

    A Tesla Owner's Goodbye

    For an extra 2 cents a kwh, we buy 100 % renewable electricity from our local utility and save a lot more than that by driving electric. Most of us no longer have an excuse.

    Ton of Inventory

    After following Tesla for 6 years, I was finally able to barely afford the payment (~$1,600/month) for a Model X. The joy I get from owning and driving this car far exceeds any pain from the financial restrictions the monthly payment requires. Many others have reported similar situations on...

    Ton of Inventory

    When supercharging at the Rocklin, CA store, I am amazed at how every available space is occupied by new Tesla cars. Elon has said that Tesla will be trying to sell every car they have, including store cars, to maximize the number of customers receiving the full Federal tax incentive. Likely...

    Model X comes with a 4 year streaming radio account with Tunein. The free Tunein account does not offer a higher bit rate. At the bottom of the streaming page, you can log into a Slacker Plus or Slacker Premium account; you will need one of these to have the option for the higher bit rate (see...

    Model x 2018

    Do we have any idea of the bit depth or sampling rate of the DAC in the Tesla Model X premium audio system? To me the sound is no better than a CD (16/44). I would like to upgrade to at least 24/192.

    Ultra High Fidelity Sound, opinions from true audiophiles?

    I played DSD music files in my Model X with premium sound and was disappointed. Much higher quality sound from the $1,000 stereo system in my office.

    Model X Audio

    Looking into upgrading DAC (digital-audio converter) in my Model X to improve sound quality. Any knowledge of the DAC manufacturer for the Model X, location in the car, resolution, sampling frequency, etc. would be appreciated.

    Model X Audio

    Very disappointed in the audio system playing from a flash drive. My $1,000 stereo system (Denon receiver/Polk speakers) in my office is far superior in terms of sound quality compared to playing the same music from the same flash drive in the Model X. As pitch and volume increase, music...

    Looks like Tesla has put the battery pack production problem behind them. Currently ramping from 200 to 300 Model 3s/day at Fremont. Seems like if there was a major problem with the production line at Fremont while ramping to 200/day we would know about it by now. If they achieve 300/day this...

    TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    My thoughts on the sell off. Not really about Tesla. All about volatility as a result of events from Washington. If the volatility stays high, there will eventually be a panic and a greater overall sell-off than what we have seen so far. Tesla is particularly susceptible due to perceived weak...

    First quarter 2018 deliveries

    As others have suggested, Tesla has to refill the S and X pipelines in Q1. I don't expect much more than 20,000 total S and X deliveries in Q1.

    Could it be that S and X orders are building up because buyers want the federal tax credit before it expires?

    Gigafactory 1 production

    Perhaps too late already to complete a new section and get it up and running by the end of the year. Not sure current structure can scale to 35 gwh. Hope I am wrong in that regard.

    General Discussion: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    45,000. 1,750 Model 3s/wk average x 12 weeks = 21,000 (assumes linear ramp from 1,000 to 2,500 Model 3s). Will have to restock S + X inventory, so only 24,000 S + X delivered for a grand total of 45,000.

    Model 3 Production Rate Poll

    Because Tesla employees said they were being stock piled. Because drone videos were said to show little turnover. Because a Tesla employee told a new owner that production would stop from December 23rd until the end of the year. I don't know the truth and that is why I and others have been...

    Thanks for making this effort. Reports like yours and the drone videos are critical to assessing the Model 3 ramp. One comment made by a Tesla employee during a Model 3 order phone call was "She told me production was moving fast..." (Model 3, Tesla owner configurations begin, #1029).

    2017 Investor Roundtable:General Discussion

    Looking at the two drone flyover videos taken in the past two days, looks like ~ 1,000 Model 3s with some turnover. Based on this, production rate could easily be at 1,000/week. Deliveries likely lagging production. Still not clear if production will shut down after today and resume in...

    Model 3 Production Rate Poll

    The delivery ramp appears to be slower than the production ramp. Eventually they will reach steady-state and the stockpile of Model 3s will plateau. If production stops during the holidays, the stockpile will shrink. Let's see what happens.

    Model 3 Production Rate Poll

    The drone flyover yesterday suggests a stockpile of Model 3s of more than 500 and perhaps a 1,000. If tomorrow is the last day of production in 2017, the stockpile may be the result of the year-end push, knowing that deliveries could be completed up to December 31st. If the lots that are full...
