    [Resolved] My P85 has developed the milling noise and Tesla won't fix it.

    I just finished reading all 14 pages of this thread, this problem causes me some concern. I am waiting till the 29TH reveal of all the features of the Model X prior to confirming my order of a 70D Model S. I just want to make sure there is no super cool feature the Model X has that will then...

    F.Y.I. if you check the California Air Resource Board list of 2016 HOV Lane approved vehicles, there are 2 Model X a 90D and a P90D approved. This may mean these are the only models available.

    Porsche Mission E

    I hope it comes to fruition, VAG's KERS system they currently use only on race cars would be a game changer if available in a BEV. Imagine your Tesla, Leaf, Focus, Fiat, ect. where the regen goes to a spinning (170,000 rpm) Flywheel that provides all the power for acceleration. Your battery is...

    Model X tow capacity is too low for me

    The Model X being rated for 5000 lbs is perfect for the light weight more aerodynamic trailers. Check out brands like Trailmanor, HiLo, or any tent trailer, I have a 15,000 Gross weight toyhauler 5th wheel, and have experience towing many different RV and car hauler trailers. The true...

    Boomburg: California Has a Plan to End the Auto Industry(ICEv) as We Know It(by 2030)

    I am not a fan of the Fascists cloaked in the velvet glove of liberalism at CARB, these are the criminals who forced MTBE into gasoline in California in the 80's despite big oil writing 1000's of pages documenting that it would pollute groundwater and be nearly impossible to remove. Big oil was...

    Model X vs Audi Q8 etron with 430 miles

    Audi has a lot of endurance racing experience and success with their Diesel Hybrid race cars. Their 2014 Le Mans winning car does not even have a battery. The car uses a super capacitor to store energy captured under regeneration (coasting and braking) to assist in corner exits and instant...

    Porsche pajun / 717 EV (rumor)

    TESLA has the automobile reputation and experience of a gnat compared to all of the other vehicle manufactures. Most of the people on this board need to study some automotive history. Automobile manufactures need to make money, if they don't they get gobbled up by a manufacture that does...

    US Market Share: Tesla vs Large Luxury Cars

    Well I guess I based it on the number of people I see and know whom I see driving those cars compared to the Model S, I would consider a CLS63 AMG 4Matic an awesome car and comparable to the P85D but not a common model. After reviewing AMG offerings I think TESLA needs to make the S into a...

    US Market Share: Tesla vs Large Luxury Cars

    What all of these models have in common is they are very expensive status symbols, I would remove both the Lexus and the CLS from the list because they are more common especially in LA. The Panamera has had very small updates over the past several years and the base model is out powered by most...

    Green Car Reports Model X article

    I wish, but TESLA would then be in the trailer business, not a far stretch considering all of their delivery times and projections are very similar to to the RV industry. I just wish they would come out with some actual specifications regarding the MX indicating what it will or will not be...

    Model X discussed in Q4 2014 Shareholder Letter (latest timing)

    So he has confirmed the X will use the same drive train as the P85D. My guess is the tow rating on it will be low maybe 3,000 pounds rather than class leading like was originally promised. I realize it will have plenty of power, but class leading to me means comparable to the Porsche...

    CPO program

    Wow that is amazing, they showed you a car that would be 75000 new, and wanted 63000 used for it, the new car is really 65000 in California due to the tax rebates which you do not get on the used car. Why on earth would you buy the used one.

    Speculation (and wishful thinking): "Towing Package" includes additional battery

    I think it would be a great idea to have a larger battery as part of a heavy duty tow package, just like other vehicle manufactures do it.

    Model X Questions we would like asked at Quarterly Earnings Release

    I want a Model X, but if it can't tow or go on mild dirt roads I have no use for it. I guess what I mean is TESLA needs to at least give some real specs for the vehicle. It has been nearly 3 years and it is still all hype and speculation. SUV buyers want hard facts.
