The .42 FW is by far the best release for me so far. Previously I had problems with the car cutting the inside of curves but now it stays quite centered in the lanes. It even manages to stay on course with bad or even absent lane markers. The photo below is from my daily commute from a section...

I have a problem with AP that I think was introduced with this release but I'm not absolutely sure it was not present earlier: When the road turns, the car does not stay centered but rather hugs the inside lane, sometimes even crossing the lane marking. The strange thing is that the car seems...

I have the exact same experience. We've just returned from our first roadtrip (6000 km through Europe) and did some long legs to cover distance. The disappearance of AS was triggered by the combination of two things; 1) driving for more than 2:30 hours and 2) disengaging the AS by manual...

I tried holding down the comletely open button but to no avail - the pop-up window does not appear. So either they removed the function in 17.17.17 or it's not available in the European edition.

OK, thanks. I will make a new try tomorrow. My car is brand new, took delivery two weeks ago. 100D, AP2, SW 17.17.17.

I do not get this pop-up window. What you say is described in my manual, but it never shows.

We have a parking garage at home with a low ceiling so the FWD detects that and do not open fully. However, there is actually room for them to open all the way although with just a few inches to spare. I can force them up by overriding the opening height on the center console. According to my...

They are both metal rings, hinged at one end and that can be pulled out with your fingers. The FWD handle differs in that it can also be pushed in. The logic is somewhat reversed though, since with the FWD you push to open, while at the front door you pull to open.

I think the original FWD (inner) handle was designed to look similar to the front door handle, just rotated 90 degrees.

"Deus Ex Machina" or "Hux Flux" (hasn't decided yet).

Excellent! Thank you for the update!

I noticed from the recent road trip video by Bjorn Nyland that there is light behind the speaker grilles in the FWD. With the doors open the light illuminates the ground around the car. I think it was a nice touch and I can see it being useful when loading and unloading the car in the dark. Do...

MC red with white interior and carbon trim is the same exact configuration I'm currently considering myself. I worry that it might be too flamboyant, but it sure looks striking! I'd love to see it IRL before deciding.

I find the whole concept of ventilated seats confusing, regardless of the direction of the fan. Wouldn't the air pass through the holes in the seat that are not covered by your behind? How does your body get exposed to the air at all if the perforation beneath it is blocked?

Interesting comments on the limited legroom for the front passengers. I noticed the same during the "Meet Model X" event here in Sweden. No one else seemed to support my observation at the time, so I thought I was mistaken. I guess it is a consequence of the canopy being shifted forward compared...

I'm looking for photos of MC Red with Black Onyx wheels. My idea is that black wheels will tone down the presence of the intense red color on such a big car, but it's only a theory. Curios of how it would look.

Has there been a comparison of range between the 20" and 22" wheels? I do like the look of the 22" wheels on that big car, but if the penalty on range is significant I will reconsider.

Did anyone take delivery of a car without the premium interior package? I could live without the additional functions it offers and would actually prefer not to have the perforated seats (easier to keep clean), but I worry about how it affects the look of the exterior and interior. The...

Nice looking car! This is the first time I see the Helix wheels on an actual car. What interior trim did you go with?

Interesting. The two silver (?) cars do not have fog lights. I guess that is how they look without the premium package.

When I select the 90D configuration in the Design Studio, it shows a spoiler very similar to the active spoiler in its extended position. It disappears in the illustration when I select the P90D. So it is unlike the spoiler on Model S. Perhaps a "maximum range" version will be offered in the...

The automatic spoiler is currently only available for the Model X P90D(L) configuration, where it is included in the base price. Currently, the 90D (and presumable the 70D) comes with a fixed spoiler only. I think the automatic spoiler should be offered as an option for the 90D because: The...

Can the ultra-white interior be configured without the premium package, and hence without the perforated seats? I ask because only the black headliner is valid in combination with the white interior for color matching reasons, and I believe the black headliner is only available with the premium...

In the 6-seater, would it be possible for a person to lay down in the middle when the third row is folded? I like to sleep in the car on long distance driving.

They threw the metal signs on the seats rather than in the trunk? That would probably be outside the design envelope of most interiors. Still, no such damage was observed on the leather interiors (assuming they were subject to the same abuse). I initially got concerned when reading the...

Mark, thank you for sharing. Your observation on the fragility of the synthetic seat material convinced me to go with leather interior when it is time to configure my X. It is a pity though, I really like the contrast of the white. My current ride is a Mercedes E with black synthetic and...

It is done, I put down the deposit today! The website predicted delivery second half of 2016 in Europe which sounds highly unlikely. I actually hope for summer of 2017. If it arrives much earlier I will be in trouble. According to the written terms, I'm only allowed to defer once. It is not...

Ah, that explains it. Thank you for clarifying.

Has there been any sighting of a silver Model X yet? I am curious on the looks of the silver with tan interior and black headliner. The MC red seems rare as well, only sig red so far. Edit: Just saw two MC red in the "flock"-thread. The silver is missing still.

Sweden. So 18 months from now is already tight? I'd better follow your advice and make the deposit then.

My next car will hopefully be a Model X. The wait is currently long, but that doesn't bother me since I don't need the car until June 2017 when my curren lease expires. But I do want to nail that specific point in time; if I receive the new car earlier, I have the expense of two cars, and if I...

Very nice, thank you! Is that the tan interior? It goes well with the blue.

Thank you all for the input on this matter. The potential sensitivity to scratches and pins of the vegan seats will probably stear us towards a compromise, i.e. the tan leather interior. I am still puzzled by the lack pictures of the Model X with tan iterior; has the color gone out of fashion...

I have observed that a majority of the Model X cars (founders) that have been pictured so far seem to feature the new ultra-white interior, followed by black and lastly of tan. I have only seen one car with tan interior so far. I think the white interior looks very nice, but I wonder how well it...

Interesting that the button reads "REAR FOG" rather than "REAR FOGLIGHT". Designed by Q Branch, no doubt.

We don't know that. Maybe Tesla was working 24/7 to get the car ready within Q3 to please the investors, and everything else became secondary. Or maybe the release was completely decoupled from the product as you suggest. I was just offering my reflection that I can have oversight with a bad...

Tesla vs. Apple etc Between a polished and well rehearsed presentation of the (re)invention of the watch, and a geeky, improvised, and somewhat unprofessional presentation of a serious contribution to sustainable transportation, I know what I would choose. I buy into the vision and the passion...

I noticed that the Tesla Motor website lists the "Ultra White Seats" as an option (in addition to tan and black). It seems that this color replaces the gray from the Model S and is not restricted to Founder and Signature editions after all.

Twitters for Model X Launch tomorrow "Tomorrow" is still valid in my timezone. We live in a global economy.

That is the official Tesla trailer to wet the appetite for the big premiere tonight. Before watching, beware of the spoiler though.(Sorry, but I'm in a good mood!)

The headlamps in combination with the V-shape under the Tesla logo and the FWD make it resemble a bird of prey. Coincidence?

Would Elon Musk drive standard off-the-shelf Teslas?I have learned that he is personally testing beta versions of the autopilot, but why stop there? In his position, I imagine Elon could ask about anything from color of the interior to match his wife's favourite dress, to bleeding edge...

It would be nice with folding 2nd row seats, but it's not a deal breaker. When we need lot of storage in the car it is typically when we go on vacation (family of four with occational guests). The luggage consists of bags and toys and stuff that can be piled up behind, on- and under the seats...

That is the first time I see the nose cone without camo and it definitely has a new look compared to Model S. The FWD seem to line up nicely as well. Thank you for posting!

The brake light is definitely in the rear spoiler. I was thinking that the spoiler would be recessed when fully down, but that would make the brake light invisible. Perhaps it is always up when driving.

Looking at photos of the Model X prototypes, I get the impression that the two seats in the third row are tied together as a bench. That means that the owner of the car has to chose between five seats and seven. Six seats would not be an option. That would be a dissappointment to me as I found...

Just to be clear: I am not voicing an opinion, I am just sharing my awe in the way electronics are influncening the way stuff works, down to such (or at least it used to be) basic items like fuses. When I got my license in the 70's, power windows and electronic door locks were cool, and fuel...

Hi! Long time lurker, current TSLA holder, potential Tesla owner.In order to drain 1500 amps from the batteries, Tesla invented an active fuse that monitors the current from the batteries with computers and cuts the wires by pyrotechnics if things gets out of control. I love the inventive step...
