I drive this way from Dallas to/from Santa Fe every 4 weeks or so with my dogs and I agree this new location will be a welcome addition on 287. My 2017 Model X P100D has borderline range issues in the winter driving this route to the mountains when temps are low and headwinds work against us...

My 2017 Model X P100DL was EPA rated for 289 miles. I now get around 270 miles on a full charge. So after 3 years and 63,000 miles, I’ve lost about 19 miles.

@bhzmark Interesting! My Navigon iPad app flags all known speed zone cameras, which is helpful.

@Battpower I frequently use my iPad on the center console of my X for that very reason. It provides much of the missing functionality, such as weather RADAR, Navigon waypoint navigation and destination info at the tap of a logo icon. Navigon allows me to navigate to an interim destination...

@supratachophobia Thank you, all we can do is keep providing Elon and team suggestions until they get it. I have confidence we shall prevail! :-)

My last 4 cars before my first Model X were all Ford Escape Hybrids with the Ford Navigation. For nav system reference, I owned a 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2012, all with OEM nav system and data from SiriusXM. Several things that Tesla is missing that I loved about that nav system are: 1...

@irvineboy To give you some perspective, my 2017 Model X P100DL+ was EPA rated at 289 miles of range at 100%. The other 100KW variant that year was the 2017 Model X 100D was EPA rated at 294 miles. After more than 3 years and 60,000 miles, I now get 273 miles at 100%, a loss of 16 miles of...

@kdday Did you have to replace your HW2 cameras when you did your upgrade, since they aren’t color cameras?

Great detail! Thanks for your insight and post. Your post gives me hope on a solution fo the FM/XM radio problem on upgrade. I paid $2,500 for the upgrade specifically to get XM radios when I bought my MX in 2017 and it seems ridiculous to pay an additional $2,500 for an upgraded MCU only to...

I think the $49 one comes woth a cigarette lighter USB plug. I ordered the $39 item and no cigarette lighter plug was included.

NovaWod! You give me way too much credit! Its just a great product and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

I just wanted to share a quick review of the TopFit Wireless Phone Charger for the Tesla Model X and Model S. I have typically used the Tesla charger that came with the X for my iPhone X but really wanted a clean, professional looking wireless option. I have been very impressed with TopFit’s...

Igor! What a great video! Congratulations on the new Model 3! Thanks for sharing your story With us!

I went to Santa Fe, NM for the holidays and managed to scrape one of my wheels on the stone curbs near the Plaza. When I got back to Dallas, I called Jon and his team met me to repair my wheel. In very short order, they had my Model X wheels looking brand new! Great option for wheel repair in...

Hiroshiy... I have firmware version 2018.4.1 in my X and I still occasionally have the problem when cresting a hill or going into a dip. It's not nearly as bad s it used to be.

@boaterva What matters is WHEN you use HomeLink manually. If you use it after you put the car in DRIVE or REVERSE, it will not automatically close the door. If you need to open the garage door to leave, use HomeLink BEFORE you put the car in DRIVE or REVERSE. Hope this helps!

Yes, thats exactly my experience except I back into the garage. I should have used DRIVE/REVERSE instead of just DRIVE in my notes. Working flawlessly for me and I’m on software version 50.3

For those of us that drive Dallas to Amarillo and points west, Wichita Falls would be a great addition to the Supercharger network. I have a Model X P100D and I drove from Dallas to Santa Fe for Christmas. Denton to Childress is over 200 miles and in 15-20 degree temps driving into a 40mph...

I can’t speak for all owners but I finally figured out how HomeLink works in my Model X. MOST of th issues I was having, I inadvtantly caused myself by interrupting the Tesla sequences for HomeLink. You guys have described exactly the problems I was having. Here are my observations: 1...

I hope the rumors are true because the staff at the Hilton Garden Inn use the Superchargers for employee parking and are rude if you ask about it. They even had a security guard watching to make sure that their ICE vehicles weren’t bothered by Tesla owners trying to charge. I have charged in...

Pipci Pipcecil! Great information that explains a lot of what I experienced. Also, I wanted to mention that ChargePoint does have a DC Fast Charger in Austin. I have used it several times with my Model X. It is only $2.00 per hour and depending on when you get there, parking can be free...

Graffiti! I completely agree with you. My time is much better spent ANYPLACE other than on a Level 2 charger, especially at premium rates! My home charging is very inexpensive at less than $0.08 per KWh but when I travel for work and want to drive I am occasionally forced to deal with...

It’s great to see other EV drivers are sharing the love! I have always used the ChargePoint app to start my charging sessions so I wasn’t even aware they had a card. You your point about Blink stations being out of service, I reported one to Blink in October (and 3 times since!) because it had...

Yes, ChargePoint has been great! I used the Fast DC charger they installed on Electric Avenue in Austin. I was fully charged in no time. Agree completely that Superchargers are Tesla’s advantage now. It really is the investment that no one is giving Tesla credit for.

Traveling recently, I had the “opportunity” to use non-Tesla charging solutions since no Tesla charging stations were available in the immediate area. Let’s just say that it reaffirmed my gratitude for home charging and the Tesla Supercharger network. A lot of analysts keep harping on how much...

I will be in Austin on business this weekend. I have a CHADMO adapter and I have used the Electric Avenue DC quick charger several times. It’s about 75-80% the speed of a Supercharger. Message me if you want to borrow my adapter.

I'm right there with you! Great run down and of course, all is forgiven! :-)

On my way from South Carolina to Illinois today and as I was getting ready this morning I received the notice that a firmware update was available. I delayed my departure to install v17.17.4. I'm 200 miles into the trip and everything is working great! I've manually driven only about 5 of the...

Waiting here also. Still at v17.11.10

bikeandsail... I just did what you are thinking about doing. I traded my 2016 Model X P90D in on a Model X P100D. The entire process was done over the phone since I was out of the country when I placed the order and live over 100 miles from the nearest service center. On the initial call...

I traded my Model X P90D with Michelin tires in on a Model X P100D with Continental Silent tires. I was astounded at the difference! Best sound dampening tires I have ever had. They have a foam liner that dampens the road noise but which can complicate tire repairs. Regardless, I love the...

I, too, traded my MX P90DL in on a clone MX P100D. I put about 20,000 miles on my P90D of which about 90% was on autopilot (v1 hardware). Since I picked up my P100D on February 17th, I have driven almost 5,000 miles but unlike my last X, I have only been able to drive about 50 miles on...

I picked up my Model X P90DL with 20" stock wheels on April 29th and after trips to Charlotte, Atlanta, Bloomington, St. Louis, Nashville, Hilton Head, and Dallas (+/- 9,000 miles) I have averaged 353 Wh/mile from delivery till today.

jd3... Yes, confirmed that map is back to what I hope for 2016. SC should fare well!

TexasEV! Yes, hopefully they just posted the wrong map. Kind of like the email I got saying that my Model X has been built and will be delivered this month when my DS confirmed its still in production... :-) Give my regards to MOPAC! I miss Austin but not the commute.

HookBill! Completely agree! Love having a company that cares enough to build out the infrastructure to support the products they sell!

Interesting! I went to wayback.org to get the previous map and then when I went to the current map, it was exactly the same! :) I swear no alcohol was consumed in the posting of this thread! :) I may not have waited long enough for the map to have populated when I clicked on 2016. I will...

Yes but earlier in the week, there were significantly more (estimate 20-25%). I have been watching it closely since I take I20 from SC to TX and it had been slated to be covered by years end. Now it is no longer on the 2016 map at all. I will try to find an earlier map for comparison.

Did anyone happen to notice that 2016 Supercharger coverage map on Tesla's website was updated yesterday? 2016 installs significantly reduced from previous map.

Congrats! My DS says my VIN000229 P90D 7-seat Ultra White hasn't even finished production yet. But everything Tesla is sending/showing me says delivery this month so keeping my fingers crossed.

I received the same email. It arrived a day after my "My Tesla" page had been updated to show estimated deliver of 15-29 MAR 2016. Since I had heard nothing from my DS and since he has basically told me to ignore anything I see on my "My Tesla" page, I sent him a copy. Today he writes and...

Roamer! Thanks for the great information and suggestions. I'm really looking forward to getting my X and I will do as you suggest until it learns my habits. Thanks again!

Model X Range and Trip Planning Factors I know this thread has been cold for a while now but I think its time to resurrect it! The quote above accurately reflected my initial impression based on Tesla published information but seems to be less accurate based in comments from actual Model X...

USAA Increases Model X Quotes You may want to talk to USAA again. I called USAA about a year ago and I received roughly the same estimate that you received in September based on a maxed out Model S. Unfortunately, now USAA is quoting significantly more per month to insure a Model X compared to...

Ok, I voted for these states to get the Luddite Award! I agree with bollar. Texas' law isn't new but it did serve as the basis for excluding Tesla vehicles from the list of EV and alternative fuel vehicles eligible for a Texas $2,500 incentive for reduced emissions. Somehow, the Texas Auto...

Ron! Great plates! I received mine last year and this is a close as they have come to an actual Model X bumper.

Good day, North Texas! My interior designer J. Douglas is offering a 25% discount for Tesla owners. This guy has been in business in Dallas for over 20 years and does absolutely fantastic work. He has clients all over the country but his showroom is at the corner of Oak Lawn Avenue and Hall...

Count me in! Chris, As I have told Tesla, please count me in on any plans for taking Tesla to the Texas Legislature. I helped with the efforts last session but we need to turn up the heat this year. With regards to the Texas $2,500 incentive on alternative fuel vehicles, I already vented...

HillCountryFun! I will keep you posted. Thanks for the input. I spoke with Tesla and it looks like I will pick up the Model X in Scottsdale, AZ and then visit some friends in San Diego and L.A. before heading to Freemont for the tour. It will save me about 3.75% in taxes (CA vs. TX). Thanks...

eco5280...! Although I agree that it totally sucks that you cant pick up at factory without paying California taxes, I spoke with Tesla and have tentatively made plans to pick up my Model X outside of California and then drive to the factory for the tour. I am a Texas resident and our tax rate...
