I've been towing an R-POD with my 90D since spring last year and was thinking on a possible upgrade for range. With all the recent talk of the Tesla pickup, I'm leaning to wait a few more years and get that one for towing instead and leave the X as family car when not towing. @ohmman, Nice to...

This is perfect! Takes out the range anxiety when towing across the mountain.

I dont think 72A will make much difference. I've done it a few times. This is only 10% charge rate of what the car takes at the SC. I've seen it happen almost everytime. It appears that charging at high Amp rate somehow inflates the voltage faster and make the BMS think the battery is full but...

Love this layout. the 2 corner chargers allows for some ICEing!! Open sided charger even allows charging with a trailer attached if both spaces are free.. very nice (read like Borat).

Before I placed the order for my X90D in 2016 I visited BMW and Audi dealerships to test drive their comparable SUVs. Despite an appointment at Bellevue Audi, I couldnt find anyone that could even greet me for 15 mins. Salesguy at Bellevue BMW was trying hard to avoid giving me a test drive of...

Wishful thinking my friend... LiIon batteries cant keep up with demand. Tesla has the best shot at fulfilling demand among all. Nissan will devour any inventory available. Model 3 is old news. The semi keeps the stock ticking up.

$35k base $5k autopilot $5k premium features $1k paint $1k doc fee = ~50 with sales tax and no tax deduction. The only truly optional part is the premium feature. If I were to spend 45k on a car, I will add the premium features for an extra 5k. Buying a Tesla without Autopilot is beyond me.

This will go into the books as a greedy move for Tesla. Nevertheless, this move is setting Tesla for profitability that Elon spoke about in the conf call today. Without a doubt some will drop their reservation but the robust demand for LR will keep the bottom line unaffected for the next few...

Just found out it is 1/27 11AM to 12.

Folks is the Lynwood meetup tomorrow 1/27? Can someone gimme a link to this discussion or time of this meetup please? Thanks

So I took my Apr 2016 build Model X (AP1) for windshield replacement and they put "MX WSHLD ASSEMBLY MONO-CAM HWAK4D-3 (1066747-01-C)". Driving back from the service center I already noticed ghosting. I wish I read this thread in detail so I would have known to ask for the right part number...

Trebor thanks for keep the thread updated. When I drive by the lot, I will update the thread as well.

Not to beat a dead horse, but my personal observations of my Mx 90D led me to conclude that the usable capacity on my 90D MX is around 78kWh as well. I havent had a chance to do a non-stop run from 100% at a relatively steady and low highway speed with just me in the car on a somewhat normal...

If I remember this right, just press the lock button on the fob as you are approaching the car and the car will not autopresent the door. My worry would be that I'd forget to do that. For that reason I have left it turned off eventhough I love this feature.

Happens on mine routinely after some rain and sometimes even with no rain. I checked with service, they first burnished it, then replaced the rotors to the new version - still makes noise. Service said thats something I may have to live with - and that its not un-common in heavy cars. For now I...

I've been having this issue with my Model X for the past few months. They replaced both front rotors and the noise seemed to alleviate for a week. But after few weeks now, it is back to the original levels. In my case, I hear the noise even braking moving forward. Anyone else experiencing this...

I turned off the energy saving option and noticed that the driver side 12V outlet remained on after several hours. But the energy saving option helptext seems to imply that the car will automatically enable the energy saving features in the nighttime.

Today I forgot to turn on the climate control for the most part of my drive to work and not too surprisingly the average draw was around 330 wh/mile. Temps outside today was similar to yesterday just no rain today. Yesterday it was 450ish wh/mile. Clearly the climate control made a huge...

This winter has mostly been short trips: 15 to 30 miles each. About 30% highway miles (65mph). 20" wheels/stock tires.

wk057, I've been ranting about the poor range of my X90D in a few other threads. Like for my dialy commutes in the Seattle area, I've been averaging upper 400 wh/mile this winter... which is pretty bad. I set the cabin at 70F and drive between 30mins to an hour. That said over the first...

For a techie that was meticulously tracking my leaf battery with an OBDII scanner before buying a Tesla, I was stumped by the range of my Model X as well. Heater appears to consume way too much power than one would imagine. My daily commutes in Seattle winter weather (mid 30s to mid 40s)...

Thanks JackA. I just realized my plugshare window had some filters that caused to not show these stations. Ofcourse I will take the 80A spots if they are available.

Good point. When 1 SC stall fails, there is atleast 3 more in an SC setup which likely work. With Chademos there is usually only 1 especially with the AV run stations. When doing trips with the family 98% reliability of charging stations is not good enough. With Tesla SCs the reliability is near...

Good to know the downtime was temporary and got resolved. Tesla seem to indicate the 97 plans are in very initial phase so I dont think they'll be up before summer when I intend to take 97 from Kelowna to Leavenworth and back to Eastside. One good news is the Monroe SC should be up soon. Even if...

Just got a reply from Tesla that the new locations are planned to be in Okanogan and Leavenworth which are both even better locations. Would be great if anyone from these area can update the thread if the see any SCs coming up. Cheers!

Wonder if there is any info on new SC locations on the 97. The 2017 map shows 2 proposed spots which likely are Wenatchee and Omak (gathered from other threads). I am hoping to to drive from Kelowna back to Seattle via the 97 / US2 this summer and would be great to have these locations. Reviews...

I have raised this exact issue with my service center a couple of months ago and they did some tests and reported that my battery was doing very well when compared to the fleet. At that time I was averaging 370 Wh/Mile (June to October). Now I am routinely averaging 470Wh/Mile. My understanding...

I did a comp of my car to the inventory and a bit surprised the price of slightly less featured cars on the inventory are about the same as my cost. Like one I checked did not include high amp and towing but was just about $400 lower than mine. But mine does have much more miles. In any case, I...

Model X drawing 327 Wh/mile has been explained around here. What is still open and infact concerning is the available battery capacity. 257 rated miles at 328 Wh/mile equates to 84 kWh available capacity. I'd love to see datapoints on people being able to use this full capacity. As I've been...

It does appear to be. But I am mostly trying to say this 90% rated range info may not be as helpful as we expect in this thread.

My recent observation with the SoC (% remaining rating) seems to indicate that it is not working very well. I am still doing some experiments but it looks like to me that the miles remaining estimate by the car at 90% can easily misguide someone by 10 to 20% inflated ratings than what is really...

Thanks for the link, I will read. Fair point. From my measurements and also confirmed by several others at TMC, the vampire drain amounts to about 50W. In my test run of 60hrs, that should account for about 3kWh. That still leaves quite a few kWh unexplained. So I did run the battery down to...

Can you highlight any threads that discuss this specifically? I recently ran the car from 100% to 2% and got 199.5 miles. The car averaged 357Wh/mile for this run and if I say the remaining 2% will yield another 5 miles (rated range), I am looking at 204 miles at 357 Wh/mile. That is like 73kWh...

I decided to trigger the recalibration of charge counter. Ran the battery to 4%, started a 32 amp charge to 100% which would also start the rebalancing. Even though the charge limit was set at 100%, the charging stopped at 96%. My theory is that the cells are out of balance quite a bit so the...

As a routine, I charge my car to 80% and run it down to 50% before I charge again to 80%. This is been happening for a few weeks now. On the "Since last charge" trip tracker, I tend to see something like 7 to 7.5 KWH draw when the SoC drops every 10%. For example, from 80 to 70 I will see 7 to...

Interesting to learn I am not alone with the service related issues. Tesla promptly scheduled a date for fixing the delivery time dues 1 month after delivery. The service center was kind enough to move it a few days ahead because I had an international trip and so I did not need a loaner if my...

I am ok to have an option to disable certain features that don't work for some people but I will never do away with them. I disable the door auto-present feature but I do like the auto-present on fob unlock - allows me to choose when I need that feature. Part of the fun driving this car is all...

How long would the AC have to run to get the cabin to a reasonable temperature (say 85) from 100? I want to think that the walking distance to the car at which the fob button press is detected by the car should be fairly small. Like in the order of 10 to 20s of walking. Would that time really be...

Did not mean to. But I would think someone will read your post to infer what you believe rather than reading my quotes of your post to do so. Also, I just quoted the statements you made, did not try to paraphrase.

The second time I used the supercharger ever for my Model X (last memorial day weekend) at the Burlington SC, WA, about 6 cars were charging / 8 when I pulled in. And I kept seeing Teslas pulling in and pulling out keeping upto 7 stalls occupied constantly. I recouped about 90 miles in 50...

Tesla will know whether this is little or lot more money. I will come find you in 2 years, when you post a message saying that Model 3s crowding the SCs that your Tesla premium experience is no longer premium ;)

Thanks for the fixes Rocky. I fully agree that a bunch of stalls probably see just 1 or 2 spots occupied at any given time. But supercharging can only live upto its claim when most drivers are on the road and wanting to charge. As you stated most Tesla drivers only use the SCs rarely and I would...

I am looking for a way to put a rigid barrier right behind the 2nd row so cargo does not keep hitting the second row back. While these liners may help avoid scratches, something rigid may provide better protection from sharp cargo edges. If someone has a way for this, please share.

As more and more Tesla go on the road, we are at the verge of SCs getting to full utilization. What I see as a immediate need is to have all stalls of a station deliver full power rather than sharing in pairs. This seems like a low hanging fruit. Reminds me of the day when sometimes I used to...

Has been my case as well so far (2 weeks). But it sounds like the latch will get me some day. I want to prove not all Xs have issues but that could just be my wishful thinking :).

Wondering if the child lock option has something to do with this behavior. Try touching the lock icon at the top left quarter of the 17" screen and see if that changes the door opening.

I started seeing this yesterday evening. The small wireless transmit icon that would appear when I touch the homelink option either shows up for a blink and goes away or does not show up at all. And the door does not open or close. This used to work well until yesterday say like 30 to 50 times...

Yea I had esurance since 2012 until they told me they don't insure Model X in the state of WA. I switched to progressive, with the new customer and other discounts I paid $792/6 months for my X and the 2015 Leaf SL. I expect this price to go up at renewal because there wont be the new customer...

Mind posting the firmware version in the car when this issue happened?

One thing I've learned in the last few years is that this is no consolation when you feel deceived. No one expects and can be prepared for a brand new car to have such a failure. In OP's case, he even thought his production date suggested that his was built after the first perfect X rolled out...
