    The Nag makes driving on Autopilot almost impossible for me...

    I am very strongly considering getting one of those devices that disables the nag in the autopilot because I can no longer use it reliably since it was updated to be so frequent. I am a long time Autopilot user. We did an over 5000 mile road trip in our 2015 Model S, I did most of the driving...

    Tesla says it can't be done: But it can: new higher resolution rear camera

    Has anyone tried to get a baby (backseat) camera working with a switch to the rear camera? My wife bought one of these: Amazon.com: Yada BT50424F-1 Tiny Traveler Baby Monitor for the Car: Automotive but its so ugly and poor resolution. Do you know if anyone has tried to wire up an interior...

    If you fast charge, Tesla will permanently throttle charging

    I believe there is a very simple software solution which would satisfy me and I suspect most others. I am going on the assumption that the Tesla software monitors either how much and what type of charging is done in order to estimate changes to battery chemistry, or has some way to directly...

    Upgrade 90D to 100D and lose free supercharging and ventilated seats?

    We decided to upgrade to the 100D, losing unlimited supercharging and perforated seats.

    Upgrade 90D to 100D and lose free supercharging and ventilated seats?

    We are in a similar situation to other posters, with the further complication that any change will result in us losing ventilated seats (which are no longer offered, I was told due to durability issues). So our choices are: (1) keep 90D order, with ventilated seats and free supercharging. We...

    Urgent: X90D to X100D order change problem, help needed.

    We are in the same situation, with the further complication that any change will result in us losing ventilated seats (which are no longer offered, I was told due to durability issues). I moved most of my post to a new thread.

    How's your line?

    Same guy counted 742 total (counting orders processed) at 11:15 am. He was around 200 and took 1 hour to get to front (Santana Row)

    How's your line?

    A work colleague estimates 500 at Sunnyvale store

    How's your line?

    Our surprising (to us) decision to go with 6 seats instead of 7...

    I agree. I would even encourage seeing as many different Model Xs as you can manage. I have seen several Xs now, and the seats behaved a bit differently in each of them: (1) The showroom 7 seater 2nd row left side seat would not go all the way back (an engineer came out to work on it while we...

    Glossy seat backs + kids

    Do you think you could 'sand' them to give them a matte look which would make scuffs much harder to detect?

    Our surprising (to us) decision to go with 6 seats instead of 7...

    No, this would not be almost as good. The center seat does not move forward and backward, it only tilts (and not by much). We tried exactly this and were unable to tilt it enough to make a noticeable difference for folks in the 3rd row. (Now, the seats seemed a bit buggy, so its possible that it...

    Our surprising (to us) decision to go with 6 seats instead of 7...

    Its possible they both misspoke, but they were rather clear about what they were saying, I even asked for clarification. There is a shelf that covers the rear cargo area, making it level with the folded seats. They indicated the level of this shelf is the same in the 5 seat version, and that...

    Our surprising (to us) decision to go with 6 seats instead of 7...

    I think the 5 seat version is the most useless configuration (as it currently stands). There is still an argument to be made for the 7 seater, it will work better for some people. The 5 seat version is exactly the same as the 7 seat version except you cannot 'unfold' the seats. You gain zero...

    Our surprising (to us) decision to go with 6 seats instead of 7...

    Based on our testing, I think you will have to remove one of the carseats in order to get adults into the 3rd row. Of course, makes and models of child seats vary, but our rear facing carseats, with bases, take up a lot of room, more than most adults, they barely fit with the seat in a position...

    Our surprising (to us) decision to go with 6 seats instead of 7...

    My wife and I went to the Meet Model X event yesterday. On our agenda was to evaluate the space inside when two child carseats were installed, and evaluate the space for taller folks when combined with child seats. What was not on our agenda was evaluating the number of seats, we were sure that...

    "Meet Model X: Exclusive Viewing"

    You are correct about the tax credit, but the total price still does not add up, from the configurator today (do you see what I am missing?): Model X P90D 108,000 *Including $7,500.00 Federal Tax Credit All-Wheel Drive Included EXTERIOR Titanium Metallic Paint 1,000 20" Silver...

    "Meet Model X: Exclusive Viewing"

    Looking at the cost on that window sticker, the base P90D is $115,500, while it is $108,000 when I configure right now. Is that the cost premium for a signature, or did the cost change, or am I missing something?

    "Meet Model X: Exclusive Viewing"

    I have a reservation and I was invited to confirm my order but I have not done so (I want to see the car first). I did not receive an invite and I cannot rsvp, it says only for reservation holders (even though I am one). -Brent

    Disappointed to see 7.1 doesn't really fix with windshield wipers

    For those that like the way the sensors are working, which setting do you have it at? When I set the car to 1 dot, the wipers go much faster than I would like. I was driving in the rain yesterday and I had to turn the wipers off, then on to 1 dot, then off, myself, because they would go so fast...

    WARNING: I rear-ended someone today while using Auto Pilot in my brand new P90D!

    Hi, I would like to provide an alternative view. It is not necessary to set the TACC distance lower either because your speed changed, because traffic is is heavier (or lighter), or because you are driving in California with more aggressive drivers. We drive in the San Francisco Bay Area in...

    Hi, Please private message me if you live in the SF Bay Area (closer to San Jose the better) and have a Model X and are willing to show off the car to me an my wife. We will come to you. Alternatively, happy to organize a meet up if there is enough interest. -Brent

    Model X tow capacity is too low for me

    I would not count on many of these for some time. This June we took a 5100 mile road trip in our Tesla, traveling from San Jose, CA east on 80 to Salt Lake City, then down to 70 to Denver, over to SD (Mt Rushmore), then west along 90 to WA and then back south to CA. The Rocklin Supercharger was...
