    App Connection down?

    Tesla: we all know you're out there monitoring TMC...please give us confidence that you know what caused this outage and have taken corrective action to prevent it in the future. This is a big deal and your silence on the issue erodes trust

    App Connection down?

    Has anyone noticed that the app connection to the car is down? I haven’t been able to control or see current data about my MX in over 3 hours. I’ve tried shutting down WiFi, rebooting the car, and turning off WiFi on both of my cellphones. Nothing seems to be working.

    Extended Drive Report: Denver to Jackson Hole and back

    I made a long winter trip to Jackson Hole from my Denver home and I thought I would post my notes. I hope this helps anyone wanting to make the trip. Sorry if it is a bit too detailed, but I like reading detailed accounts and I am betting as an early adopter of EV's, you like it, too. We EV...

    Denver to Jackson Hole Trip

    im about to make this trip in my 90D Model X. Any insights or recommendations? It looks like I will arrive with only 12% battery left, which feels like I'm cutting it pretty close.

    Model X Long-Range Report: Denver to Dallas (About 900 miles) in 1 Day

    The Amarillo option wasn’t available in May of 2016. Now there are super chargers on that path.

    Center Console

    Public Service Announcement: I did something really stupid...twice! The top of the center console is a handy place to put important papers like checks, etc, while driving, but I have now had my model X EAT those papers twice when coming to a stop on the way to my destination. Don't be stupid...

    New Denver Service Center

    I had my Model X serviced today by a Tesla Ranger. He told me that they have officially announced that they are moving the current Tesla Service Center on Evans to the old Schomp Service Center on Broadway in Littleton. This is really good news for everyone in Denver since it is a larger...

    What is your battery capacity 1 yr out?

    I took delivery of my X 90D in April of 2016. I have driven 11,941 miles. My 90% is 225. I am charging to 100% this morning, so I can post that when I hit full.

    What's up with HPWC?

    I'm not an electrician, but I have definitely paid to put a couple of their kids through college over the years! From my experience, you will need the 100amp just to drive the 72amp HPWC in your garage. I don't know how much milage both of your cars drive, but in my case, I just got the extra...

    Model X Sunshade

    I got mine from Tesla yesterday. I took delivery of my car on 4-14-16. I thought MINE took a long time to get. I think you win.

    Dead battery in Key fob locked out of Model X

    I haven't had a dead battery, but the last time my car was in the SC, they changed out the firmware in the fob. They said they did this to prevent a battery drain problem. They also put new batteries in both fobs. I suggest you take it in to the SC.

    X in the snow

    I got my X in April and weathered through two pretty heavy snows here in Denver. The X performed flawlessly. I have the Continental tires and they did just fine. In my opinion, traction in the snow is about 30% car and 70% tires, so I was pretty impressed with the Continentals. I was...

    Did anyone upgrade from 48 to 72 Amps?

    For what it's worth...I have a vin 32xx delivered in mid April and mine had a 48a charger. I have since paid to have it upgraded to a 72a. My upgrade was a hardware upgrade and took several days.

    Apple and Tesla in Shopping Malls

    I heard JB Straubel (Tesla CTO) speak this week. He had an interesting point to make about this topic. He said they weren't so interested in being across from Apple as they were interested in being in the highest traffic part of the mall. It just so happens that Apple is almost always the...

    Apple and Tesla in Shopping Malls

    Seems like a consistent strategy. Here in Denver, Tesla was located across the hall from the Apple store at Park Meadows mall until the recent relo of the Apple store. (Which is still pretty close, btw)

    Sun visor for Model X while parked

    I bought these, which are now available on EVANNEX HeatShield Custom Gold Series Sunshade for Tesla Model X Really like the fit and keeps the car cool.

    WeatherTech custom (Floorliner?) mats delayed 6-8 more weeks.

    One of the downsides of Tesla being headquartered in socal. In Denver, we will have our first snow in the next 5-6 weeks. No way I can wait until February for all-weather mats. I took delivery of my X in April and weathered through 3 decent snows before spring and it wasn't fun with carpet mats.

    According to my DS, It was supposed to be a cargo cover, but they decided not to make it.

    How does the alarm function? Weird Story!

    You will see by my profile that I am a Model X owner, but I am posting in the S forum since my question is about something that happened to a friend who owns a Model S. He recently parked his car in a small regional airport parking lot. Upon his return landing, he enabled the AC and proceeded...

    Acceleration Shudder

    Sorry to be so late to this party, but I was having the same shudder. My car has been at the SC for over 2 weeks and they've replaced both axels and upgraded firmware, too. I am supposed to get it back today. I will keep you posted as to whether the issue is addressed.

    Tesla standard Nema 14-50 Question

    The green light is always on. Is it 'moving'? The movement of the light is what shows it is actively charging. On my car, it won't start recharging the vampire drain unless I leave it connected for a full day. I have noticed this phenomenon when I travel and leave it hooked up at the...

    72 amp charger upgrade

    That makes sense. My vin is in the 32xx range, so it was an early build.

    72 amp charger upgrade

    I know there has been speculation on this forum about how the 48 to 72 amp charger upgrade works--is it a software switch or a hardware replacement. I am having the procedure done right now so I can tell you. It is in fact a hardware replacement and not an easy one. I took my X in on Saturday...

    Firmware 8.0

    Beware of you find yourself on Larimer or in the RiNo district!

    Firmware 8.0

    I wonder if this is a regional thing. I find apple maps very inaccurate where I live in Denver. I go back and try it from time to time, but it just doesn't know where things are in Denver. Google always gets it right here.

    Changes/status of USB music album play order & shuffle

    Good idea! There were rumors from Tesla reps that even though they might not support car play (dumb idea in my opinion) at least they would 'mirror' apple and andoid devices on the display screen. Still wish that such a technologically advanced car could have a better implementation of audio.

    Changes/status of USB music album play order & shuffle

    Agree. The other thing t New member is that Tesla is going to continue to 'connect the dots' of functions like this for years to come. Today's summon is limited, but it is clear where they are going with it--fully automatic vehicle retrieving. So why beat them up for giving us early glimpses of...

    Changes/status of USB music album play order & shuffle

    I use mine when trying to get my big wide tesla into and out of parking spots in garages that were designed for smaller cars. I find it pretty useful for that purpose specifically, but if you don't have tight spots to get your car into our out of, it probably isn't too useful.

    Rear hatch has no sensor

    I avoid the garage door issue by setting the high level of the hatch at my garage height. If im outside my garage, it is easier to lift it manually the rest of the way. gives me of peace of mind to know it won't hit the door!

    Is it necessary to sign up with Plugshare or Chargepoint?

    This must be an option by the organization/business that installed them. I installed chargepoint chargers at my office building and we can still use applepay or android pay.

    Supercharger stop today...

    Last weekend when I was in north texas (WITHOUT my model x) I stopped to see the progress of the latest SC station in Sulphur Springs, TX. My wife thought I was crazy for stopping at an SC when I didn't have my car with me. Now, I know I have company in crazyland!

    No "Unlock charging port" button after completed charge?

    I charge frequently at a J1772 station at work. The adapter refuses to unlock about 50% of the time on the first try. I do, however, get the unlock button on my screen. Sometimes pushing it releases it immediately, other times, I just wait a few seconds more after pushing the button on the...

    Vendor Now a Great Cup Holder for the S and X designed by an S owner.

    I was one of the very first customers for the cup holder. I am extremely happy with it and feel it is a good value. Thanks for making products like this. With the standard issue cupholders in the later model S and now the X, I have often wondered if Elon and his engineers just have really...

    Charge Port not Opening on Cable Button Press

    I've noticed that if I hold the cable to the rear of the port opening, it opens with the cable button press. If I hold it even or in front of the port, it does not open with a cable button press.

    In-car Trip Planner vs EV Trip Planner

    For those saying the car's trip planner calculates for elevation correctly, try this trick: drive from Wichita to Denver in a Model X and only charge for the recommended times. You won't make it. Guaranteed. 1299 to 5280 in elevation gain. Adding 10-20% extra charging range does the trick, though.

    Favorite and least favorite supercharger locations ?

    My favorite: Denton, TX: Even though it is not the easiest access from the highway, the restaurant and retail locations are very good, by far the best between Dallas and Denver. Least favorite: Salina, KS in a Holiday Inn Express parking lot. WAY off of the beaten path from I70 and 135, a long...
