    Does Model X use the new Tegra X1 Chipset?

    Spoke to a manager the NVidia X1 product team a couple of weeks ago. He said that Tesla tested the X1 but went with the same hardware as in the Model S in the end. Which would explain the one mule people caught with eight(?) cameras.

    Gonna bail - anyone else?

    I cancelled my reservation a couple of days ago. Funnily enough I've received positive reputation since for "daring to speak up amongst all the fanboys" :-)

    Is Model X really going to happen? Or will it break Tesla Motors?

    People buying a Tesla will pay attention. So a botched launch, more delays, technical issues. People will hesitate to buy X & S. Tesla will miss its estimates. Stock will plummet. More people will get worried about buying from a company that is failing. Stop spirals to zero. The End

    Can't wait for Model X - what's the best PHEV SUV?

    Forgot about that one. Need to take a look... - - - Updated - - - Yeah, I find it hard to trust that the Outlander is coming. And I heard the X5 40e would be in the US in Q4 but it's still not on their web site. - - - Updated - - - That table is perfect. It show the sad small batteries that...

    Tesla in 2016.

    You said that better than I did. All this stuff that isn't necessary, the doors, the wind shield, the second row seats - make the car more expensive and harder to build, cause the delays, cause the high price. Customers will disappear and Tesla will be on their way to bankrupcy in 12 months.

    Can't wait for Model X - what's the best PHEV SUV?

    The Outlander isn't sold in the US. X5 40e was supposed to arrive in Q4 but still isn't shown on their website. The Audi Q6 etron doesn't have a release date either. So is the Cayenne the only PHEV available right now?

    48 amps or 72 Amps... Why should I get either?

    If you're in a hurry, 72A makes no difference; you need CHAdeMO or better a supercharger. If you are charging over night, 48A is plenty

    What is the highest reservation number to get invite to configure?

    Sure. $5k above base Model S price. That will get you a Model X 70D. With nothing. And in maybe a year. And if you want the car now you need a P90D with some extras that are "automatic" and you are at a really high price - like more than six figures.

    What is the highest reservation number to get invite to configure?

    P89xx here. Cacnelled my reservation yesterday after playing with the configuration thingy. I'm not going to wait another year for a Model X. Too little, too expensive, too late.

    In light of Model X options, did the shareholder "Vegan Uprising" succeed?

    Seems likely the case. If this had been something they had planned longer it would have shown up in the Model S (maybe with the 'D's)

    Tesla in 2016.

    The continued delays in Model X delivery and tons of technical issues with the over-engineered parts will cause a massive drop in orders and a wide spread exit from Tesla.
  17. N

    Is Model X really going to happen? Or will it break Tesla Motors?

    I think people are underestimating the risk of frustrating the customer base. If Tesla isn't careful this will turn into a stampede to the exit.

    Tech Package or no Tech Package

    I saw a P85 with Pano, 21" wheels and the rear spoiler, but no tech. Someone clearly had their priorities wrong :->

    Does anyone have a Saleen Tesla?

    Strange. Very strange. And you have to pay extra for that? No wonder they are going out of business. Their website doesn't show Tesla based cars anymore...

    Iphone Tesla App

    There are a ton of missed opportunities with both apps. But it's a matter of opportunity cost - the cost of working on the phone apps vs. working on the firmware. I just wish they'd have spent the energy to provide for a supported SDK and let the market create amazing apps.

    Elon "About to end range anxiety"

    How disappointed are people going to be when he talks about the changes that have made it into 6.0 and 6.1 and then makes more vague promises about navigation in 6.2 and 6.3 and then it's a wrap... No hidden batteries, no better algorithms, no major partnership. That's my prediction.

    Elon "About to end range anxiety"

    A few of the "news" sites like cnnmoney and usatoday have made fools of themselves, but the financial markets have mostly been "mildly curious". I think you might be confused by 983 posts here... The financial services carrying items about Tesla ending range anxiety is actually a sign how...

    Tracking P85D w/coils delivery thread

    That's all fascinating and would play extremely well in a "Coils vs. Air" thread. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with "Tracking P85D w/coils delievery" Well, my car is in production now, so hopefully I'll be able to add a useful post to this in a couple of weeks.

    Tracking P85D w/coils delivery thread

    We lost the topic of the thread, didn't we? So has anyone actually taken delivery of a non-smart-air-suspension P85D? I have one on order but it hasn't started production, yet :-(

    P85D range and highway battery performance

    With temps in the low 30s I average 340+ Wh/mile in my S60 :-) Wind and cold temperatures are a true range killer.

    CHAdeMO adapter wait frustration

    So it seems that on an S60 the CHAdeMO charger isn't that interesting after all. The combination of current limit and lower package voltage and taper means that in my experiment I never reached more than 34kW (on a 105A charger - so on a 120A charger you might reach 39kW). But for most of the...

    P85D range and highway battery performance

    Rain is BAD for range. On a long road trip I had one SC->SC segment with an intense rain storm and while the whole trip averaged 280Wh/mile (this is with my S60 on 19"), that segment was 368Wh/mile. I arrived with 0 rated miles at the supercharger...

    CHAdeMO adapter wait frustration

    I got "the email" today. But I decided to pass. 18 months ago I really would have wanted the CHAdeMO adapter - even at $1000. Today, after driving an S60 for 18 months and more than 26k miles, I can think of two instances where it would have been useful, and one of those places now has a...

    Will Tesla make the "by the end of January 2015" promise for torque sleep? (P85D)

    So your summary is "owners are headless chicken, Tesla did things right, hopefully the owners learned their lesson". My summary is "Tesla messed up, tried to fix it, ran late, messed up communicating the fix, but based on what we are guessing and deducing so far it seems that for most people the...

    Tracking P85D delivery thread

    That would suck and would not fit with the usual standard that I've experienced from Tesla. It seems much more likely to me that your DES was able to get you on an accelerated schedule in order to get the sale... I certainly hope that you were not duped. And I wish that I had made the same...

    Firmware 6.1

    We don't have a lot of <O°C days here in Portland, but many mornings <5°C. I can't say I see a difference in CABIN temperature with or without range mode (S60). But I do see a massive difference in pack temperature. In range mode, when it's below 40F (5°C), even after pre-heating for 20 minutes...
