    Lift gate arm repair after bolt sheared.

    Hmm. Good question. I’ve had the car for 10 years now. Sometimes over the years, with oversized items I’ve put in the trunk, I’ve left the lift gate half open to transport the stuff. I bet that created some side loads the bolt wasn’t designed for. That’s my only guess.

    Lift gate arm repair after bolt sheared.

    Turns out to be an easy fix. Tesla has a great website for parts. epc.tesla.com They won’t let you order them online but you can pick them up from your local Tesla service center. The bolt that sheared cost $1.10 and I reused the fastener. Even the power lift gate arm was reasonable at...

    Supercharger - Barstow (EXPANDED, 5 stalls added, now 16 total)

    FYI. Just made it back from Vegas today. 100% at Primm. Did 70-75 most the way. Got a little nervous towards the end but made it to Cucamonga with 20 miles. Dang. Could have gone faster. Basically I've found that when the car says a speed you must maintain to reach the destination...you can...

    Supercharger - Barstow (EXPANDED, 5 stalls added, now 16 total)

    To each there own. I want to feel comfortable knowing the limits of my X and S. It's made for great road trips with almost no range anxiety. If I followed the directions of the navigation from my full charge in Cucamonga it would have had me drive through Needles to get to Las Vegas. If I...

    Supercharger - Barstow (EXPANDED, 5 stalls added, now 16 total)

    Yes...I assumed a headwind. Looked like the predictions were for 6 mph crosswinds. When I'm around my neck of the woods and it says slow below a speed I never do. I actually push it harder to get a better idea of what the real range is. It just doesn't leave me with a buffer. I recommend...

    Supercharger - Barstow (EXPANDED, 5 stalls added, now 16 total)

    Yeah. My 75D just made it with 22". Keep it to 65 to be safe, lower the suspension to very low and put range mode on. You'll get stressed suring the mountain climb by Primm but it will be no problem.

    Supercharger - Barstow (EXPANDED, 5 stalls added, now 16 total)

    So I made it to Vegas today. Had some pucker factor when I reached the climb at Haloran pass and the next mountain. Felt a little cocky so I drove at 70 most the way after a full charge at Cucamonga in my 75D. Maxed at 227 miles. It kept saying keep it at 60 to make the destination...but come...

    Supercharger - Barstow (EXPANDED, 5 stalls added, now 16 total)

    I'll let everyone know how it goes. Leaving soon. The Tesla rep (keep in mind Tesla rep who probably knows less than us) said they stole a lot of equipment and electronics. I would stop to check it out but I don't have the spare charge to do it. Keep an eye out for me....I'll be the X with...

    Supercharger - Barstow (EXPANDED, 5 stalls added, now 16 total)

    Yeah. Sucks!! According to Tesla it was vandalized and won't be up for a week. This is a bummer but I'm going for it tomorrow. I'll need to fully charge my 75 at Cucamonga and drive slower than normal to make Primm. Wish me luck. Of course if the vandals hit Primm too I'm going to be stuck!!

    Does this happen to you ?

    Yeah. Me too. It's a dime a dozen out here. I see at least 5 a day from home to office and I have about a 10 mile drive. 4 on my block including mine. Too funny.

    60D/75D owners, do you regret not getting 90D for hp and torque?

    Congrats. You just got a free upgrade to a 75D and are going to get an awesome vehicle.

    60D/75D owners, do you regret not getting 90D for hp and torque?

    It was for people who ordered early. Free from a 70 to a 75. Not totally free. Haha. We all wish.

    60D/75D owners, do you regret not getting 90D for hp and torque?

    The only thing I didn't do was the "launch feature". Other than that it wasn't amazing. I even double checked ludicrous was on. Maybe they gave my MS40 ludicrous as a free upgrade!! Haha I do notice a difference from my MS40 to my MX75. It doesn't seem to takeoff as fast.

    60D/75D owners, do you regret not getting 90D for hp and torque?

    When I test drove the MX p90d ludicrous I was not impressed. I have a MS40 and feel about the same acceleration. Ok. Ok. A little quicker but nothing like you would expect from the videos of people losing their minds. People go crazy over my accelation too. It's just in comparison to their...

    Let's Lobby Tesla for 8-Year Warranty on all X Doors and Seals

    That would be great ... but I recommend just getting the 8 year warranty for the whole X. I have it for my S, and as soon as it's available, I will get it for the X. The doors are not the only thing that will be extremely expensive when it breaks. I've had repairs done in the S that would have...

    Air Suspension now a requirement for 6/7 seats? What about 75D orders?

    My MVPA shows a 6/1 date also but is 8 pages long with taxes, license, etc. They also sent me a Docusign MVPA to sign on the same day which I completed immediately. Another email showed up on 6/2 saying "Your purchase paperwork is complete" No communication since.

    Just Docusigned my purchase paperwork from Tesla via an email. My DS did not contact me. Not sure what it means, if anything, as far as timetables.

    Air Suspension now a requirement for 6/7 seats? What about 75D orders?

    I have an 8 year warranty on my S and wouldn't dare skimp on getting the 8 year warranty on the X. If you're worried about the SAS I can't imagine what you think the Falcon Wings will cost to replace.

    Air Suspension now a requirement for 6/7 seats? What about 75D orders?

    An email from my DS said my X will go into production in "late June". In my book "late" means June 16th. HAHA!

    75D and Just Got a VIN!

    Just to add one more possible factor to the mix...I've owned my Model S since early 2013. But I think we are reading into this too much. Everyone will get their 75D within weeks of each other...maybe even days.

    75D and Just Got a VIN!

    All options but sound and heated seats. Black X, tan seats, black headliner, 22", figured ash. I think that covers it.

    75D and Just Got a VIN!

    6 seat, picking up at Freemont, reservation since 2013, confirmed late Feb. SAS confirmed on 5/10. Not sure if that makes a difference. Also my DS emailed me and said production will begin late June on my X

    K-MTG (Captain Sunshade) - Model X

    Do you have the tow package? Maybe something hanging inside that well area underneath that covers the tow parts. Just throwing out ideas.

    Air Suspension now a requirement for 6/7 seats? What about 75D orders?

    Yes. That's why I'm frustrated. Someone can jump the line (not even saying @ksquared did... but others have) just because they ordered the 90D, P90D, etc. Just a little bummed.

    Air Suspension now a requirement for 6/7 seats? What about 75D orders?

    That's what I'm saying is annoying. I will most likely take away someone's chance of getting the federal tax credit solely because I purchase the more expensive options. I can order the day the design studio opens and jump the line even in front of a person that placed their order the day...

    Air Suspension now a requirement for 6/7 seats? What about 75D orders?

    Also...this is the exact reason I did not reserve a Model 3. I learned my lesson about giving deposits to Tesla. All I need to do is order the top of the line and I'll jump ahead of most orders...especially with my "Golden Ticket" of owning an S and soon X.

    Air Suspension now a requirement for 6/7 seats? What about 75D orders?

    Not a personal attack on you but that really kind of annoys me. I have been a reservation holder for 3+ years, confirmed 3 months ago like many others here...and yet no Vin#. My only hope is they just shoot out the Vins all at once for a late June early July delivery like I was told. Maybe...

    Air Suspension now a requirement for 6/7 seats? What about 75D orders?

    I'm hoping they accepted enough orders of the 90D...or better yet, are expecting to start the 75D late June, so they need to push all new orders to July. Fingers crossed!

    Air Suspension now a requirement for 6/7 seats? What about 75D orders?

    HAHA...you scared me. I went back to look just in case. It was $2,500. I'm afraid the X will be $5,000+. FYI. Just got my S repaired for a broken door handle that wouldn't retract. it was $0 because of warranty but my rep said the parts alone would have cost me $750. OUCH. Imagine the...

    Air Suspension now a requirement for 6/7 seats? What about 75D orders?

    I hope it is $4000 for the warranty. I don't think they announced the price yet. I would scoop it up whatever it is. I got my extended warrenty for my S at $2500. It's a steal compared to now.

    Air Suspension now a requirement for 6/7 seats? What about 75D orders?

    WOW...they gave you the 22" at the old $4,500 price? That was generous.

    Air Suspension now a requirement for 6/7 seats? What about 75D orders?

    I love your confidence about your production week. I hope you're right. I hope we're all right. I'm also hoping for rainbows and unicorns.l!! Ok. I might have had an after dinner drink or 2. Just hoping to get my X soon. Had to vent.

    Air Suspension now a requirement for 6/7 seats? What about 75D orders?

    For people in the states....the free change boat has sailed. Friday was the cutoff. I think the only options available avoiding the change fee was. * Upgrade to a 90D (which means pay for the 90D as listed with all required upgrades) * Upgrade from a 5 seat to a 6/7 seat option (add or...

    Air Suspension now a requirement for 6/7 seats? What about 75D orders?

    I don't see how that would be possible. The 90D doesn't have a cost for SAS so how would or could you get it discounted?

    Air Suspension now a requirement for 6/7 seats? What about 75D orders?

    I will second the info you received in regards to June/July delivery. Full disclosure. The sales repalso said I couldn't add the tow package and also said the hitch would be the only one that could carry a bike rack. Hard to take anything said from them seriously.

    @ssq. I'm holding you accountable if the production queuing doesn't begin by the 28th of this month! I'm getting obsessive about this dang X now that we're all getting closer. I don't know how much more I can take!!! Help!!!

    Air Suspension now a requirement for 6/7 seats? What about 75D orders?

    I'd be bummed out...but I kinda wanted the tow package and SAS. I just didn't want to pay the price. Everyday past today that I don't have the X....well you know.
