    Has anyone removed the cubby shelf in the X?

    Um ... perhaps it's obvious to you what you mean by 'cubby shelf' but I have no idea what part you're talking about. Maybe attach a photo? I have had things go under the area where my phone charger is. To get into that area, remove everything that might be in the way and close the lid (it...

    Duh ... v9 & passenger side climate?

    Can someone post a screenshot or set of steps for how to adjust the driver's and passenger's side temps independantly in v9? Previously there were two temps on the screen and it was trivial, now I don't know where to find this functionality... Thanks!

    Newbie

    But you asked for AWD + Long Range, which is priced at 55K in the USA. So I still don't see what the marketing smoke about a barebones thing that isn't what you want has to do with your expectation that it should cost less than the same product (AWD) in the USA. For winter driving, if you're...

    Newbie

    I'm a little confused. 55,000 USD => 71,150 CAD. Are you expecting the cars to be cheaper because Elon is going to beam them up to Toronto? Elon dreams big, but not that big...

    Those with RWD cars, how'd it handle the ice storm?

    This should not be true. What Tesla engineering needs to figure out is how to use the regenerative braking with variable regen on each tire to enable a slip-free stop during regen braking. While it isn't clear if this would provide more traction than ABS or not, it would be much better than the...

    Model 3 impressions continued....

    It is frustrating to me that the method for correctly adjusting your side mirrors to virtually eliminate blind spots was published in 1995 by SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) and yet seems almost unknown. A quick google search for "Eliminate blind spot mirrors" will find variations on this...

    Can Display Show PDF's, Word Docs?

    The MCU must be technically _capable_ of this, because it can display your manual and your manual is a PDF document. However I doubt it's exposed to you because the PDF viewer would be a big attack surface for someone to use to try to hack the MCU. I could be wrong of course, and it might be...

    How do you rotate tires on tesla?

    My jackpoint jackstands are en route as I type this, but they are not the only option. The Rennstand should also be up to the job. I have not used either product.

    Q on Model X

    1. No 2/3 also no, but really nobody can give you any answer there that's useful.

    Does anybody regret buying Model X for your main car?

    I missed the "weather" part of your original sentence, which read "If you’re making any long trip, you plug in the destination and Tesla uses map data for grade and elevation, and weather forecasts". Supposedly the car does take into account driving speed and elevation: However this it does...

    Autopilot on GTA Highways (401/404/DVP) - Worth it?

    I may be doing it wrong but I use AP all the time, divided highway or not, and find it very helpful.

    rattle in sun visors

    I really need to take mine in, then. My wife's car is dead silent and I've been dreading arguing with Tesla about mine, glad to know they at least know about this one already.

    Did anyone receive their tow Package for the model X

    I'm basing my opinion on towing a u-haul enclosed trailer with two pinball machines. The trailer itself would have been about 900 lbs and each machine 250-300, for a total of say 1,500 lbs. This combination used about 425 wh/km at highway speeds (60mph). Scaling for your case, you might want...

    AP is the reason I bought a second Tesla.

    Did anyone receive their tow Package for the model X

    In good weather that all seems totally well within reach for a 100D. Probably OK with a 75D too, but I'm not as sure.

    Did anyone receive their tow Package for the model X

    I'm in the same boat as you with no tow package yet, delivery was in Dec 2017. My wife's Model X came with the tow package, and I feel compelled to warn you that my experience towing has not been positive. What do you plan to tow, and how far?

    Signature Wall Charger for Sale

    Tesla responded to me and said they'd "start shipping at the end of April". I'd translate that as End of April = early may, and we should count ourselves lucky to receive wall connectors for June. I also confirmed that there is only one cable length - the long cable - for the signature HPWC...

    Signature Wall Charger for Sale

    So bairesman and I have tried to conclude the sale, but instead of providing me with a code, after I follow the link from my referral mail Tesla asks me for an address and then says: "Thank you for submitting your award preferences and participating in the Referral Program. If you have any...

    Does anybody regret buying Model X for your main car?

    I own a Model X P100D and my wife a P90D. Our most frequent "long distance" trip is 185 miles (~300km) which we do approximately 50 times a year (across both vehicles). The P100D is much more convenient for this drive as it can make it without stopping in good weather. The worst range...

    How Tesla Charges Idle Fees?

    You perhaps failed to read the other post that mentioned that at the time I was there, 3/20 stalls were in use. I have never seen more than 8/20 stalls in use at this location.

    How Tesla Charges Idle Fees?

    On iOS, go to the settings app. Scroll down until you find the Tesla app. Click it. Within the Tesla App's settings, click on 'Notifications'. Turn them on. On Android, some similar approach probably applies, but I don't know where the settings are.

    How Tesla Charges Idle Fees?

    Not quite. (a) 15m notification says "you're almost done" when really you're not at all almost done, making it not a useful notification. (b) 10m walk to the car is a different location - Barrie Mapleview - not the Vaughan location which has many amenities right there. (c) It was and...

    How Tesla Charges Idle Fees?

    I'll put myself in the camp of "a bit annoyed by this". Today, charging at the Vaughan Supercharger in Canada, I got a notification that stated "Charging Complete. Idle fees are now accruing." However, when I went to move the vehicle (it took me 1 minute to get there, according to Teslaf, but 3...

    What is everyone doing with their house key? Is that a weird question?

    Of the smart locks out there (I've tried a bunch) I prefer the Kevo / Weiser deadbolts. Normal keys for those who want them, trivial to re-key, phone entry for those who want them and keyfobs. Easy to rekey when remodeling/giving out guest keys, and then set back. The trouble I've had with these...

    Tesla (Model S & X) no longer eligible for Ontario rebate?

    I'm not aware of data to either support or contradict your assertions. As I already noted it's not clear if: more Teslas on the road leads to more desire for EVs among all buyers, simply by making EVs an object of desire; or whether or not prospective Tesla buyers are influenced by the extra...

    Tesla (Model S & X) no longer eligible for Ontario rebate?

    I stand by my original assertion that there is no EV you can buy that fits your needs today. If you don't need a replacement vehicle soon you could wait it out, or you could buy a used AWD vehicle to tide you over until there are options. On the used market you can find an AWD Tesla in the...

    Need some help on P100D vs 100D

    I 100% agree with this, except in the case of Tesla there are 2 good reasons to buy new: (1) a recently built car will have the very latest hardware and is more likely to include things that will be enabled in future software updates; and (2) Tesla's quality track record is miserable and getting...

    Tesla (Model S & X) no longer eligible for Ontario rebate?

    I split this out because it's not clear if it's a hypothetical or an actual situation. If it's an actual situation, the reality today is that you can't buy a Model 3. If you need all-wheel drive, used inventory may not hit your price range either. So there is no EV you can buy that meets your...

    Tesla (Model S & X) no longer eligible for Ontario rebate?

    You're not being dense, I didn't take a position on the matter. I don't have enough information available to me to have a position, and that means I don't have a position. As someone who owns two Model X's, I have a bias in favour of these vehicles qualifying for rebates, but that's not the same...

    Tesla (Model S & X) no longer eligible for Ontario rebate?

    Instead, people would complain that the government makes systems that only rich people can work around, since the taxes would target affordable gas vehicles and you can skirt them by buying a Tesla. In general, the fact of the matter is that most Canadians believe that the taxes should heavily...

    Need some help on P100D vs 100D

    I don't understand the pricing in the USA, but surely that 100D is the same price as new? A quick glance suggests $7,500 USD rebate from feds + $2,500 from California. Why buy a used car in that case? In terms of your actual question -- P vs non-P -- it breaks down like this: - if you've never...

    For those with Ludicrous mode, how often are you in it?

    My wife would only let me buy her insane, not ludicrous. She couldn't see the point of being able to launch faster. She drives her Model X in insane mode 100% of the time, and she didn't even want the feature :-( I use chill to tame down autopilot on long road trips, but otherwise drive on the...

    Public Charging Etiquette - Unplugging Teslas from J1772s

    Perhaps it's regional. I'm not the charger police, but most places I live in Canada have free EV spots and it's usually reasonable to assume that the vehicles parked there are parked for good reasons. Perhaps in other countries the situation is much worse -- it certainly seems that way based on...

    Public Charging Etiquette - Unplugging Teslas from J1772s

    This. This is the point I tried to make and failed in my original post. The reality is if you see a Tesla at a J1772 the odds are good that owner is desperate for a charge because there's really no good reason to use these crappy chargers over the SC network. Just because you don't know whether...

    Public Charging Etiquette - Unplugging Teslas from J1772s

    You are more than welcome to disagree with me, but just to be clear about my post: I do not think it's OK to unplug Teslas at a J1772 station, but provided a protocol in case of emergency. Indeed, if unplugging the Tesla after it has had sufficient time to get to the nearest supercharger could...

    Any RennStand users?

    I need jack stands to switch over to non-Winter tires in a month or two and have heard nothing from Jackpoint since December. RennStand seems to make a similar product, and I can't find any posts from people with experience of them. If you've used them for Model X, can you reply with a short...

    Public Charging Etiquette - Unplugging Teslas from J1772s

    I'd never plug into a J1772 location unless I was desperate for electrons. My phone would notify me if you unplugged me and I'd be there angry as hell within minutes ... I have no idea why you'd imagine you have priority, we are all trying to get to where we are going, not plugging in for the...

    24 chargers in downtown Barrie parkade

    Possibly this is the reasoning but it'd be dead wrong. As someone who drives up to Muskoka every weekend from Waterloo, and always via Barrie whether taking the back roads or main roads, I'd note that: (a) with Google maps navigation, traffic rarely adds more than 30 minutes to the drive (which...

    Potential Supercharger- Yorkdale Mall, ON

    HPWCs should be plenty for Yorkdale ... as you'd be stopping at the mall for at least 1h, that gives you 74km of range if they don't cheap out on the power. Though as I write that I note that almost every destination charger I've used has been 40A instead of 80A.

    Toronto and Oakville Delivery Update

    You can ask this question of your DS even before you get the vehicle. I did, and was told the Odometer had ~10km on it and that a few more would be put on in Ontario to test drive it. I received it with an odometer reading of 15.7km. My vehicle was an inventory vehicle so I was trying to ensure...

    AP2 surpassing AP1 in the rain?

    I find it hard to imagine a much better test than driving two Model X's through the same weather and getting different results, although admittedly my experience was a few hours later than my wife's experience. The overall weather conditions would have been very similar, the only way to do a...

    AP2 surpassing AP1 in the rain?

    @Yinn I can't tell if you're talking about automatic wipers or autosteer. Here's my missing photo: I remain impressed that AP2 could lane-keep without difficulty in this weather. Someone commented 'worse in snow' but honestly I found both AP1 and AP2 to be unusable in the snow. Certainly I...

    White Interior

    My model X has a white interior, and my wife's has a black interior. The white on various non-seat surfaces makes my vehicle feel noticably larger. So far as I know the vehicles have identical interior space.
