Alleged Tesla rep quote via Reddit: Confusion is said to be the reason for the thread title: No, Tesla did not stop using Alcantara on the Model S. • r/teslamotors Related Model 3: Change from alcantara to cloth on PUP??? Tesla updates Model 3 interior with new headliner material

Some more thoughts on the comms: Look, I get the motivations: SpaceX felt the need to quickly, even before any advanced research into it could be made, state that their part worked 100%. This is the very Tesla-like need to go public with full denials as fast as possible, no room for "we'll look...

[Moderator note (bmah): I moved a number of posts discussing sensors from this thread, because they're not specific to a given software version and seemed to deserve their own thread: 2017.50.3.f3425a1 is out! ] The rain on that video was a bit borderline. I would say a rain sensor would have...

Back in the olden Model X waiting days, I used to do these summaries of the then-current rumor analysis e.g. here. I thought in the honor of our leaving resident hacker @verygreen - who is still among us Tesla owners for a while - I'd collect the latest one in a summary form for Model S/X. :)...

There hasn't been much talk of the Tesla Network recently. As there is still a bit of the year left, do you think we'll get the announced details on the network next week? Or has anyone registered details which could be considered as that release? From October, 2016 AP2 announcement: "Please...

So, there's a rumor that Model S/X might get a redesigned interior around Q2-Q3/2018 - and of course there is the instrument clusterless dash of Model 3 perhaps giving us a glimpse into Tesla's future ideas. There is also the speculation and some past rumor on the 1/2 or 2/3rd windshield HUD...

OK, so, is it just me or is the Model X trunk lid rather prone to closing due to even a small amount of this white stuff some far-away places get some times? I missed most of the winter weather with the car last winter, so I'm kind of experiencing all this snow stuff fresh. I didn't have any...

Putting together 1+1, I think today's Roadster announcement increased the likelihood that the rumoured 130 kWh battery for Model S/X is real. The Roadster with 200 kWh battery shows the true packaging and performance potential of the new 21-70 battery cell, not the anti-sell effort that is Model...

Ignoring for a moment the anti-sell, and even the spaceship control comments from Elon Musk, and just considering a few things: - Tesla is moving towards no-instrument cluster, low dashes with Model 3 - Tesla is introducing interior camera with Model 3 - Model S/X dash is getting old, rumoured...

As we've just had the umpteenth thread of a new member being welcomed my posts questioning their motives, may I suggest a discussion about making it simply against the rules. Call it welcome courtesy. My suggestion would be to make a welcome courtesy rule. You know the drill: small replies...

Hi guys! Ahem, as the good ol' member @ohmman suggested in another thread that this place could use some positivity, I thought I'd give it a go. So I took my Model X P100D for an half an hour spin, to see what I like about it report back. Only the things I like about it. Here goes: 1) It does...

I thought this deserved its own thread as it could explain Tesla's design thinking in Model 3 as well. The spartan interior as well as the spaceship comments would make tons more sense this way... Is Model 3 the harbinger of things to come on the other models as well? If so, I would assume a...

Here's something I never encountered with my Model S, but has been a constant nuisance with the Model X - apparently after instrument cluster resets and software upgrades: The instrument cluster / steering wheel forgets the favorite radio stations (FM) and reverts to switching between all...

The recent thread about side-impacts with Model X (Alive and married bc a Model X saved my life) got me thinking about the air suspension ride height and safety on the Model X. Currently I usually ride the Model X on Low, which it seems to default to (anyone got a good grip on when the heights...

The term Augmented Vision found in Tesla Model S/X software, current Model S/X referred to as legacy: AP2.0 Cameras: Capabilities and Limitations? The Augmented Vision is refusing to display an image on current "legacy" vehicles and might some future hardware iteration (such as in Model 3?)...

How much is the Wi-Fi transferring for you? I have been measuring my Model X + Wi-Fi for around ten days now and witnessing steady but small transfer rates: Receive: 3.1 MBytes/day Send: 0.7 MBytes/day The car is parked at the Wi-Fi for most of the day and night. As mentioned, Tesla talks of...

This was originally being discussed over on the Model X forum, but I was wondering if the Model S crowd might have some information on this as well. What might Tesla be referring to in their current "Set Up Wi-Fi" encouragement dialog? I remember from my old car's days that this dialog was...

So, I've been toying with a few things on my Model X that should not be there. Let's see how they fit. First one is the Tesla Model X All-Weather 6 Seat Floor Mat (1103026-01-A) which Tesla says is not compatible with vehicles that have a VIN greater than F022381 (I do). (Tesla — Model X...

Since Tesla has been on a roll removing options lately (removing trim options, paints, seat ventilation, X adaptive spoiler, S metal roof, hi-amp charger options, accessory hitch...) it occurred for me to ask what might be next in the quest to avoid "customer confusion" and "streamlining the...

Coming on the heels of Audi e-tron quattro (2018), the production version of Audi e-tron Sportback is slated for 2019. http://jalopnik.com/the-audi-e-tron-sportback-is-even-more-of-audis-electri-1794412709 Audi Teases New e-Tron Concept - Fourtitude.com Audi unveils new e-tron Sportback with...

In addition to the low-end price decreases (at least 60D battery upgrade price) and feature changes (Helix wheels retired, new 20" wheel color, center console for 6-seater rear) today, according to Electrek Tesla will increase prices a week from today. Especially notable seems to be the $9,500...

The Jaguar I-Pace BEV has been discussed previously on this forum (e.g. on the Jag gets in on the "EV's don't have to look stupid" Market. thread), but I thought it would be good to start a dedicated thread to the car itself - similar to other BEVs on this sub-forum. Maybe that will also help...

In the delivery thread Model X 5 Seat Deliveries we have been keenly following the story of the Model 5-seater trunk configurations. Also the threads Speculation: Model X five seater is missing a panel to hide seat bottoms? and 5 seaters, how is your load floor supported behind the 2nd row? have...

We have all been surprised how unfinished the Model X five seater seat bottom area looks like with cables showing etc. We also know that the five seaters delivered have so far been delayed for side panel parts and delivered also without the rear storage compartment cover. But I have to wonder...

After the discussion on Falcon Wing doors on Model Y making sense or not - the concensus being, I guess, that their value vs. utility contraints is limited beyond child seat and perhaps third row access - it occurred to me if Tesla might be considering or at some point might have considered some...

With the recent news of Tesla and/or Mobileye dumping each other for future products (an interesting he said/she said in its own right) I got to thinking about the Auto-Pilot upgrades in Model X once more. Some of you may remember me charting the Model X/S mules for clues on new cameras, radars...

Greetings! I agree with great members like MiddKidd is his posts that one of the great value - aside from the analysis and opinion - of a place like Tesla Motors Club are the deeper real life stories. I don't have a very practical story to share, but I have put a lot of thought and emotion in my...

In the Soft closing doors thread it was hoped that Model X doors would have a soft close feature like many competitors, for more elegant closing and for avoiding those situations where the doors just doesn't quite latch. It might also make sense to complement the falcon wings that obviously soft...

Since the second row of Model X has gained so much discussion and notoriety since the silent launch of Model X Signature ordering, I decided to take a look at how the seats have evolved since the original unveiling of Model X - and where they might be headed in the future and why. 2012 -...

Usual disclaimer: Analysis of Model X mule photos is not representative of production vehicles - just analysis of the mules. Production vehicles may vary dramatically. Plenty has been made of the Model X nose, widely assumed to be the most camouflaged and potentially most non-final exterior...

This topic has come up several times and nobody has done a full "360 degree" comparison, so I thought I'd give it a bit of a go. Of course merely commenting on how the 2015 mules look compared to 2012-2013 prototypes. I have no insight into how close or not close to production the mules look...

In the Model X Mule Sightings thread there is a long discussuing started by a sighting about how much the Model X mule has changed, if it has changed at all - and how final it may be. As the discussion still goes on, I decided to explore the topic in a summary form, perhaps we can reach some...

There are alleged leaksters and speculation suggesting removal or changes to the Model X nose cone, as well as a new source/troll/unknown claiming a body colored nose-cone for both Model X and future Model S facelift. On the other hand, it seems almost a given that the cross-beam between A...

Back in May I wrote a summary of Model X info and speculation and now decided to update it for June. The bolded parts are new compared to the May summary. *** The question "is the Model X not that different from Model S" is a fairly common topic on TMC, perhaps used by some as justification to...

It was suggested/theorized Model X might have electrochromic windows. We know pretty sure Model X will ship with crossbeam-less front window extending the windshield all the way to the falcon wing doors area. This long glass certainly would be a prime candidate for partial electrochromic...

With some talk of how much Model X mules have changed since the prototype has changed, I thought a new image comparison and a thread might be useful: This side profile is only a part of the answer of course, especially being so dark, but it is a thus far rare perspective into a shape of the...

Model X mules - Do they have an extra tall dash screen? Perhaps made of two separate screens? For extra camera displays or some other reason? For reference, here is the Model X prototype (2012-2013) 19" screen: And the Model S 17" screen: Thanks ecarfan for the hint!

This seems to warrant its own thread: More discussion was in the spoiler thread, maybe moderation can move: Model X mules show signs of a new spoiler? - Page 4

As has been previously discussed on TMC, nVidia - a partner of Tesla on Model S as well - is launching a new Tegra X1 chip and an accompanying DRIVE PX platform. It was speculated on this forum that Model X would be getting this chip. One feature of the DRIVE PX is a new advanced all-around...

In the transparent pillars thread (which turned out to be just removed A pillar panel cover) R o b pointed out that looks like a side camera not previously discussed in one of the photos. First it has to be noted that on previous mules there has been external wiring in this area as well, and...

Interior of the Model X mule has been seen partially in the latest spy shootings, so as these sightings accumulate, I thought it would be useful to discuss them in a separate thread: Picture 1 - Spied: 2016 Tesla Model X tesla model x in palo alto - YouTube What do you spot from these...

With so many different mule spotting threads being filled with idle banter, I have been making new threads of some of the more interesting (personal opinion) details surrounding the Model X mules like the bumper cameras, rear spoiler area and cargo solutions. I hope these help the moderators as...

One things where several Tesla people have gone on record is working on a solution to be able to transfer skis on a Model X. Traditional roof racks are probably out of the question due to the falcon wings... so how could this happen? The issue being, with falcon wings rising up, there isn't room...

Compared to the 2012-2013 Model X prototypes (top), there is something odd about the rear spoiler area of the 2015 Model X mule sightings (bottom two). One of them appear as if with a raised piece beneath the rear window, the second seems to be without this piece but shows cavities under the...

I think we can pretty safely call the presence of at least one front camera a real possibility on this car. Whether or not they would appear on the final model, well, I would say judging by their apparent state of finish and the fact that competition has these cameras, it seems likely. Anything...

The new Model X mule photographs and videos show what looks like see-through A pillar on the passenger side (driver side not visible): Tesla Model X spy art -- Automotive News Photo Gallery tesla model x in palo alto - YouTube There also seems to be what could be front-facing camers on...

I thought it might be useful to dedicate a thread to apparent visual changes between the Model X mule or mules seen in 2015, compared to the original public prototypes. Even though it is possible, likely even given the camo, that the mule(s) don't represent the final production vehicle, there...

In the New Blog: Driving Range for Model S Family.... thread there was talk of how the future "torque sleeping" (resting second motor while coasting) works. This gave me another idea, that I'd like to hear your thoughts on. How many of you are familiar with how e.g. Haldex multi-plate clutch...

As an EU Sig X holder, who isn't having second thoughts about the Model X, let alone Tesla in general, I was wondering how many of you who have reserved or know they are very likely buying a Model X, have mixed feelings on the Falcon Wings? Like me. I must start with a contradictory disclaimer...

Greetings, guys. Long-time German premium brand driver here, got bitten by the Tesla bug bad - I guess it was airborne because all it took is one look at the car and a few moments of thought concerning never having to think about engine noise, idle pollution, smelly mornings with the gasoline...
