    Tesla + EZPass = uglified. Need ideas!

    We use these EZ Pass License Plate mount on our Teslas (Model x and two Model 3's). They cost about 3.00 more in Maryland. Here's a picture of someone using it without a license plate.

    (UPDATED) Topfit New floor mats for the Model X

    I'm updating my post from Sept 2016: I changed my Amazon 5 Star rating of the Topfit mats to a 2 Star rating after owning them for 1.5 years (early Model X owner #40XX ). No question these are best looking mats for the X that I've seen to date and I got compliments all the time. With only 14K...

    Do it yourself: Wireless Charging Model X/S for iPhone X or Samsung 8

    Yes, I use Waze all the time and the angle is fine. Again , you can use the ball mount from the charger which will also allow you to angle more.

    Do it yourself: Wireless Charging Model X/S for iPhone X or Samsung 8

    Totally understand the concern. I’ve had this mount since June 2016 and had to remove it twice and no issue with metal trim damage. You need to becareful when removing and pull from the bottom upwards. It does limit the passenger from changing their temp unless they lean over. Hasn’t really be...

    Just in case anyone is looking for quick way to add Wireless charging for newer phones like the iPhone X or Samsung 8 and still be able to glance at their screen. Lots of various wireless chargers for autos on Amazon. This one was 29.99 and uses the new fast USBC connector on the charger end and...

    100KW battery upgrade now available $20k

    "Ludicrous mode is more than just software and a badge. There's the inconel fuse that needs to be installed to allow the higher amperage draw too. From the press release, the 100 kWh battery upgrade also involves a new power harness." I'm not 100% this would be correct info for all Model X...

    Custom 21" Arachnid wheels -- your choice of color

    Just a followup on this - finally heard back from service center and Tesla will not send the Arachnids rims from the referral program as I have an X. (this has gone back and forth for months with conflicting stories) As suspected are sending 22".

    Swap 22" Black Onyx Wheels for 20" Plus cash

    Just had my 20" Rims powered coated black and calipers painted red. 750.00 for completed work. I decided to keep the 20" after getting a loaner with 22" rims. 20's seem much quieter and smooth -

    Phantom opening doors

    As we've cover in several previous threads, I still think many of the Phantom opening of the FWD reported is simply caused by putting the FOB in your pocket getting double clicked as you walk. It has happened to me many times since I first got the car in June. I now have a clip on the key and...

    OLED Display Demo at CES .... Custom Design Cluster

    This was pretty amazing to see in person. Totally doable on Tesla. Would be great to have different design skins to switch from at some point.

    Where do you mount your phone?

    I've removed it a few times to check on any scratches and so far no issue. The plastic is somewhat flexible. The only concern for some it that it slightly blocks the volume up/down for the passenger causing them to lean forward to change- but as the driver that was OK with me ;). Also looks...

    EV Trip Planner - model X

    Ben - I tried to use the EVTrip Planner this week in the car and using the Tesla Browser it pretty much impossible to get a correct page to display and enter data. The fields and sizes are all mismatched. Would it be possible to have a checkbox to allow for compatible Tesla HTML viewing using...

    Model X Dash Cam Unboxing and Installation

    Great job of taking the mystery out of this product as many of us have been watching it. Can you confirm whether it starts recording when it has power automatically or do you need to remember to press record each time you use it. For me, I'd rather it just record all the time when it has...

    Where do you mount your phone?

    I use a clip mount from ProclipUSA.com. I have them for a few of our cars. They are designed specifically for each car. Just pick a dash mount and holder for your phone (I had an old Arkon mount and just ended up using that instead) . Very solid and works great. I like mine down lower but they...

    Model X Fuse Box numbers?

    Can't seem to find any information for the Fuse Box and fuse numbers. I found the Fuse box and just need to know what the fuses and relays control. Very surprised that the current owners manual does not give any info on Fuses other than a mention about using a trailer.

    Have recently delivered Falcon Wings gotten better?

    Took delivery in June (0049xx) and zero issues with FWD open/close. They did update the SW a few times to make them more aware of their surroundings - they are more cautious/smarter now the before ... Only things done to mine were some excess glue on the inside (they fixed) and a slight...

    20" Wheels wanted

    I got an email last Friday from Tesla that my 21" referral Black Rims will arrive in about 3 weeks. These are the Referral Award rims for 5 having referrals. I don't think anyone has seen these yet. Assuming they look awesome, I'll be selling my stock 20's.

    FWD and key FOB triggering. Truly need an option to turn off FOB Control

    **Note** This was also posted in the Tesla Model X forum thread as well. So far the Model X has been a reliable car and no real issues. It does what it's supposed to do and as we all know, a joy to drive. My only real concern so far is the coming back to the parking garage and seeing my FWD...

    Blind Holster for phone

    I ended up buying the 29.99 ProCLip mount so I can see my phone when I need to - mainly for Waze alerts. You basically buy the clip on mount and then pick out a phone holder. I already had a holder (Arkon) from my other car and ended using that. Almost any holder will work on this mount (plenty...

    What will you name your Model X?

    Hedwig (the white owl from the Harry Potter series) - we named it based on the older prototype body style I saw at CES in 2015 when we placed an order - looked like a white owl to me from day 1.

    Model X Scissor Jack & Tire Iron for emergency ?

    Anyone picked out a decent scissor jack and tire iron (lug nut) for the X? I've always carried a tire kit in my cars for nails and other things that can be easily plugged. What size is the lug nut ? The largest one I had was 23mm and too small. I have the standard 20" wheels.

    Tesla X last straw - Open Letter

    I wonder if some of these lower VIN numbers had already gone into Production and they discovered several bad parts that were the source of some of the critical issues we are hearing about. This would mean they would need a special "Disassembly" line to take the cars apart and fix. If they were...

    How many Model X owners here have also placed order for the Model 3?

    I reserved yesterday at the DC store on K Street. Showed up in My Tesla showing both Model X and 3. RN for Model 3 is also there . Also never received an email. Maybe emails are for non-Tesla owners? BTW - I sent out a group text telling friends to come down to the store to pre-order and had 5...

    What car do you currently drive while waiting for the Model X?

    Short Answer - Ford Fusion Energi. I took a different approach on the whole EV thing. I knew I wanted a Tesla almost 5 years ago but early Model S's had various small quirky issues and like many on the forums I decided to wait and watch. Needless to say, Tesla the company won me over almost...

    Production X Configuration Has Begun!

    Invited today #11918. Still deciding between X & S. After configuring both 90D cars with the same options, looks like 10,334.00 difference for me (this includes state tax) I did not include the Smart Air Suspension on the S but we all know it's included on the X 90D & P90D so technically you...

    Why no pictures of the dash and front console layout?

    Am I missing a thread somewhere? No pictures of the dash and front console on website or picts from last night? Looks more or less the same as Model S? At CES the steering wheel had advanced touch controls like a small iPod screen. Did these make it into production? - my guess is no.
