    Wallace, NC Supercharger

    I'm actually staying at the Holiday Inn Express there in Wallace tomorrow night--I'll check to see if the charger is operational yet. Has anyone checked since Product_Guy did on Saturday?

    Model S range and interior update imminent?

    Well, if Audi uses the Qi standard it'll work with the new iPhones--Apple finally made a good decision and went with a charging standard that has been around for years--my phone 4 years ago had Qi charging.

    Heads-up on front door latches

    I understand they have gone through several iterations on the front door latches. They replaced both of ours on December 6th with the newest versions while we were there for a different issue.

    Have recently delivered Falcon Wings gotten better?

    We've had ours since March and the FWD's are very reliable... most people have had more trouble with the front door latches. Some of the early "issues" with the FWD's were software related more so than mechanical imo.

    Problem with early production Model X

    The service seems to vary greatly by location and how busy they are. Our service in NC is stellar and we've never had the car in longer than 1.5 days. That included replacing a second row seat (due to a minor upholstery issue), replacing front door latches, replacing the front half shafts, and...

    Model X didn't warn when my wife was backing up the car and hit a parked car

    Tesla doesn't have auto-braking going in reverse. The backup camera always pops up when you go into reverse, however if you click on the controls it will go away--I think they should fix that so the backup camera is always on top while in reverse. Either way, you can still stop, turn on the...

    AP 2.0 Retrofit sounds possible - or Am I crazy

    When they offered a parking sensor retrofit it was over $6,000--so I doubt something as complicated as AP2.0 would be that cheap even if they did offer it (which he said they wouldn't).

    First Model X with 8.0

    I'm not sure why everyone is so obsessed with 8.0. Does it have a couple nice new features? Sure. Is it so amazing that it will change your driving experience? Not really. We got 8.0 on our S and honestly, going back and forth between the two (S and X) isn't that much different. The media...

    Tire has nail... Tesla says they can't replace it until NOVEMBER?

    If a tire store can't patch it, and they don't have it in stock, you could ask to purchase a tire from the service center and then take it to a tire store for installation.

    Thoughts after a weekend with Model X

    Even though nobody has seen the 5 seat setup, it still makes no sense to me as a better cargo solution. Taking a close look at our third row, at best the 5 seater will save you 8 vertical inches of storage from the back of the second row to the rear cargo area. Plus you won't be able to haul...

    Who has the boasting right to #1 updated to v8.0?

    The frequency of nagging seems to depend on your speed, how good the lane markings are, and how sharp the turns on the road are. I frequently use AP on the highway at 0-5 mph over the limit and the nags are very, very infrequent. Once I increase the speed the nags happen more often. If the...

    Picked up new MS, rear-ended the next day

    I'm frustrated for you. I'm also frustrated for us because it just reminds us that no matter how careful we may be, all it takes is someone else to make a mistake to do damage.

    Why AP 2.0 Won't Be Here Soon, and It Won't Be What You Think It Is

    Yes... our 2+ year old P85 is far from obsolete--it's still great. Sure it is no longer the fastest model by a lot, and yes it doesn't have AP, but it's wonderful to drive. Obsolete is such a misused word.

    A new Model x 90 D owner

    Like others have said.. it sounds like your car is set to show ideal range instead of rated range. Ideal is basically what you could get going a steady 55 mph on a flat road in perfect conditions. Rated is much more accurate and attainable. However, if you have the 22" wheels and drive around...

    Why AP 2.0 Won't Be Here Soon, and It Won't Be What You Think It Is

    I agree and disagree with the OP. Agree that L3 or L4 autonomy is quite a few years away. There are so many scenarios that are tricky to navigate that it would take some seriously good sensors/cameras and software to be successful. However, I disagree that the AP 2.0 hardware is that far off...

    Help me confirm the retrofit-ability of Autopilot 2.0 on the Model X

    Rumors, rumors, speculation, speculation. There is nothing to report here other than making guesses. I find it highly doubtful that there will be a retrofit available for several reasons. 1. No retrofit before for autopilot. When the AP hardware was first released in 2014, the pre-AP cars...

    Well, presumably the flashing white border on the dash screen will probably be quite visible in your peripheral vision compared to the tiny little warning we have now.

    2nd Row seats don't auto-stop

    It's not using obstacle detection... it just senses weight in the third row and moves back to like 80% instead of the full 100%. It's a preset location.

    Payment Method now on Tesla's My Tesla Page [Since Removed]

    On another note... I wonder how Tesla will handle taxis in the future. Currently there aren't that many Tesla taxis due to their high cost, but I imagine the Model 3 will attract quite a few more. It definitely could be a problem if a fleet of 200 taxis were constantly flooding all the local...

    Payment Method now on Tesla's My Tesla Page [Since Removed]

    As someone who has only used superchargers a few times, and only on road trips, I would have been extremely frustrated if I was blocked from charging because an ICE or a Tesla was parked and not charging. Why? Because I've got two small kids and waiting at a supercharger for an unknown amount...

    Range estimation

    You have the settings on "Ideal Range" which is if you drove at 55mph on a flat road with no wind. Switch the settings to "rated range" and it will show the numbers that are advertised. The rated wh/mi seems to be about 340 in the Model X, so that's a good way to estimate how close you will...

    Happiness Guarantee Vanished ...... Now you see it .. now you don't ?

    My understanding of the happiness guarantee is that it was for those rare occasions that someone just wanted out of the lease (losing a bunch of money like mhan00 said) because the car just didn't work for them. It only lasted 90 days. The warranty is pretty darn good and they have gone out of...

    How do you wash your Tesla?

    I'm much more cautious with our black Model S than our white Model X! White just hardly shows anything and black shows everything.

    Model X Self-presenting front door

    When we first got our X back in March the door would not autopresent for my key but it would for my wife's key. The service center was going to order a key for me, but then there was a software update and my key suddenly started working. No explanation though.

    Fl I95 Auto Pilot Jax drivers heads up

    I've also noticed that white lines on white concrete don't always register with the AP, especially depending on the angle of the sun. The white concrete roads that work well are the ones that have both white and black dotted lines. At night the white lines show up and during the day the black...

    Will the S model be priced too high?

    Don't forget that you are comparing the current Model S with a future Model 3 that we don't know everything about. At some point earlier this year I remember Elon saying that the S/X would still be the leader in tech... so I'm sure the newest features will be available on the S before the 3...

    1 week in, FWD troubles begin

    The only issue we've had with the FWD's since March is recently one of the doors would close 4/5th's of the way and then stop. But it hasn't happened since the last patch. The one time we had trouble with the doors opening it turned out there was a tree branch hanging down directly above the...

    Model X - doors...in real conditions/family life?

    1. We have 2 kids and the doors are easy. They are not as slow as people make them out to be--yes they are a little bit slower than our old Odyssey minivan doors, but not by much. At the school carpool line they are certainly slower than normal doors, but I think the ease of entry/exit makes...

    Autopilot 2.0 Upgrade for Exisiting Owners

    I seriously doubt there will be a retrofit. There was no retrofit when they added autopilot 1.0 and this version has even more hardware. Don't get your hopes up unless they've been installing the wiring harnesses all along. Even then you'll probably have to have several body panels replaced...

    2nd Row seat stopped auto-moving

    2.28.60..... but I figured out what happened. It is related to the patch. We have booster seats in the second row for our kids, and in order to make buckling possible for them we use seat belt extenders. Since the patch the car doesn't allow the auto-move forward or back with the seat belt...

    2nd Row seat stopped auto-moving

    I'm not sure if it's related to the patch we got last night, but our 2nd row seats won't auto-move forward or backwards anymore. The seats also won't go all the way forward with the tilt when holding the button. It was a problem when we were going to dinner tonight with 6 people. Has anyone...

    Double vision (ghosting) at night through windshield?

    Not long after we got our car in March I read on here about the double vision issues. So I checked again while driving at night and saw the ghosting for myself. It didn't seem like much of an issue, but I thought I'd see how things went. It's now four months later and I've only noticed it one...

    I wanted to avoid posting this - windshield issue

    The ghosting must vary by car, because we've had ours since March and I can barely see the ghosting on it, and only when I actively look for it.

    My friend's model X crashed using AP yesterday

    Yeah there really isn't anything in the google street view on the edge of the road that would do that kind of damage. Although the street view could be out of date. Either way, I'd be interested in more details.

    Model X Autopilot Problem - Pretty Scary

    That's not entirely true. You can set the speed to be your speed, and then you can full press the tacc stalk up several times to increase the speed setting by 5mph each time. If you're going 65 it only takes 3 full presses up to reach 80.

    Model X Autopilot Problem - Pretty Scary

    Don't forget that a setting of "5" on the following distance doesn't necessarily mean 5 car lengths, just like 2 doesn't mean 2 car lengths. It varies by your speed, try it out.

    Model X Autopilot Problem - Pretty Scary

    On a divided highway you can set autopilot all the way up to 90mph, regardless of speed limit. It only restricts the speed if you are on a non-divided highway, and then it's 5mph over the limit.

    Tesla misinformation …

    @FlatSix911 are you sure that the hitch can be added later? It was my understanding that it couldn't. Also, the extended warranty does not have the same coverage as the original 4 year warranty. @ellisina4 : The maintenance is optional and they don't really do much in the way of upgrades...

    I would have your wiring in the garage checked as the car will slow down charging if it detects any problems in the flow of electricity from the outlet.
