    Destination Charging Feedback?

    Does anyone know how to provide destination charging feedback to Tesla? I picked a hotel in Ashland, OR specifically for their destination chargers, but the chargers were at the bottom of the "parking garage" with an incredibly narrow in/out access. Thank god for the full wrap! I managed to...

    Interesting Ratio 5:7

    at the Fremont Supercharger right now on the way home from OCDetailing, 5 Model X's, 7 Model S's charging! I've seen 1 Model X and 1 Model S delivery happen and it looks like a Model X is queued along with 4 S's for delivery.

    Model X Withdrawal!

    So I had to go out of town this past weekend and I figured it was the perfect opportunity for Merlin to get his spa treatment at OCDetailing since I would be riding with a friend in his Sprinter van. Dropped the X off at OCDetailing on Thursday afternoon, had a few errands to run with the...

    Touchscreen unresponsive?

    wondering if anyone else has noticed this. I've had to reboot my touchscreen a number of times (3 or 4 in the 2 full days of ownership) because the touchscreen becomes unresponsive. The common thread seems to be that the car has been on/parked for an extended period with trunk and FaWDs open...

    Merlin has arrived at home!

    1253 days after reserving him, Merlin has arrived at home! First things first, the competition plane fits nicely! I'll need to build a little stand for the tail to rest in instead of the box on end that you see in the picture here, but that is fine. I've found no flaws in the car so far...

    WOOT! Delivery scheduled for Thursday 3/17 @4pm!

    DS just called. I'm not sure I can sleep now! But I better, just to make the time go by faster! Question: the price is still a bit of a sore point for my wife -- is there discussion of the cost at delivery if everything has already been paid via ACH, etc.? I'd prefer to avoid triggering...

    Thoughts on a Pre-X road trip

    Took a road trip with some buddies from SF Bay Area to Phoenix and back. Did a marathon drive back last night. The X was very much on my mind as I held in hard left rudder due to 28mph winds from the left hitting the very tall sprinter van broad-side and then later dealing with high winds...

    Size vs. Cargo volume

    So I currently drive a Prius v from 2012, it's really interesting to compare a few key stats: Stat Model X Prius v Length 198.3" 181.7" X is 16.6" longer Width 81.5" 69.9" X is < 11.6" wider...

    Model X windshield insulation

    I asked this as a response in some other threads but it seems worth asking in a thread of its own. I've noticed (and my wife even more so, since I run hot and she runs cold) in cars with a moon roof that when it's cold outside and the moonroof cover is slid open to expose the glass, the loss...

    XPEL Ultimate, OptiCoat Pro, cQuartz, Oh My!

    OK. This car is about 4-5x what I've paid for any other car, I'm willing to do that because: This is a small way to make a difference in our future, US oil dependency, etc. blah, blah It's COOL It's Quick I expect it to be my second-to-last, if not my last...

    Awaiting my Model X -- how do I edit my signature?

    Reserved back in 2012, Model X reservation #1651. Anyone here know how to update your signature on the forums? I've used a lot of vBulletin-based sites like this one before, but can't seem to find it in my profile, etc. anywhere... Peter+
