    Is it time to cancel my power wall?

    They were only suppose to link up one AC due to the surge if there's a black out. Two units would have been too much. They did add an 80A overcurrent protector to prevent the surge in my situation. In New York we do get crazy weather in the summer and towards the beginning of fall, good to...

    Is it time to cancel my power wall?

    Finally after 4 months of wait, two PW installed but not turned on since electric company didn't unlock the meter box. Took about 8 hours and the tech tried to convince me to not back up one of my AC unit. I guess more work for him but I made sure that he did since it was part of the plan...

    Powerwall 2 "waiting list"

    I was told that the PW can't be placed in a "living space" due to the risk of explosions. I don't know if that's a policy that is strongly enforced.

    Powerwall 2 "waiting list"

    Is the space "living space"? Since the initial request of the PWs for my basement I had three kids, put them through college and updated my basement into "living space". Will they still install the PWs in that space? It will be in a closet where my electric panels are kept. I made the closet...

    Powerwall 2 "waiting list"

    Reserved my PW2 in March and then canceled in August since hurricane season was approaching and I didn't hear back from Tesla. After finding out that my electric company will have to dug and install a new gas line for a Generac, I placed another reservation with Tesla. Less than 48 hours later...

    Electricians in Westchester NY? Con Edison home charging incentives?

    The only credit I got was the federal credit up to $1,000 for the install. You can sign up for smart charge rewards which will give you $25 a month during peak months (summer) to charge during non-peak hours. You will have to install their monitoring device in your M3, not hard at all with my MX.

    Nail in tire

    Lucky you! I've had three tire changes in one year, in the same tire location. One was a road haz and the other two were side impact, all in the right rear. Apparently as told by my service tech, the car is very heavy so I should avoid stress on the side walls of the tire when parallel...

    Model X Glass Roof Crack

    I have USAA. Windshields goes thru a third-party vendor SafeLite and that's what they told me on the phone. Calling them today for payment and see what payment I get.

    Model X Glass Roof Crack

    I went to a Tesla SC to replace the windshield since no other place would replace them. The SC also mentioned that they don't handle insurance claims. I had to pay Tesla the full amount and now I'm waiting to see what the insurance company pays me. I was surprised by the amount of shards, I...

    Model X Glass Roof Crack

    I think it was whatever. Insurance only paid $675 of the total amount. I had to pay the rest out of pocket. Should have checked what the payout was before selecting insurance for a car with the most expensive windshield.

    Model X Glass Roof Crack

    Also got hit by a rock or flying debris. $1,400 to replace the whole windshield. Worst thing was that there was flying glass debris in the car. Fortunately none went into my eyes while I was driving.

    Driver seat resetting itself

    I recently got an update along with a service visit and also a new fob since I lost my spare. I've noticed that when I placed the car in park, the driver's seat resets itself and moves very far back. I was wondering if anyone has the same issue and if there's a way to resolve this. It's a bit...

    Falcon Wing Doors Pop Out (Caught on Camera)

    On a tangent, are you going to use the other key? My kids were playing with my spare thinking it's a toy and it is forever lost. They are expensive to replace!

    Scratches on windshield

    I posted on another forum but same issues. I was watching you tube videos and found that cerium oxide works for light scratches. This kit from Amazon worked liked a charm. I had scratches from scraping ice off the windshield and windows. Took about ten minutes but I was able to buff out the...

    Window scratches

    Finally got this in the mail from Amazon. It took 10 minutes to buff out the scratches. I'm sure it will work with deeper ones as well. Used a cordless drill but I think microfiber will work just as fine. It's a small kit but I didn't need much of it to remove all of it. Hope it helps...

    Reserving your Model 3 (official Tesla blog)

    so.......I just bought the new 2017 Mercedes C300 yesterday. I couldn't wait for the M3 since I needed a second car for work. Question. Should I cancel my reservation or should I hold on to it and buy an M3 and then sell it. I have a Model X so I am one of the few on the east coast to get...

    Window scratches

    I don't think the glass is scratched, it looks like the tint is. I don't know why the tint would be applied on the outside, is that standard. I did find a tint pen on Amazon. Will try it and let everyone know. I'm also going to call the service center to see if there's a way they can fix it...

    Window scratches

    noticed today after all the snow and ice melted off my car that there are scratches caused by the ice scrapper all over the windows and glass. Is there a way to repair it or can the SC fix it?

    ToughPro Mats and VINs Greater than F022381

    Actually, it took 9 days. They are light and the clips are easy to remove so it's a quick swipe with Armor All wipes. Velcro didn't work as expected but I think double sided tape works just as fine. I thought the hooked portion of the Velcro would adhere to the flooring but it didn't. I'm...

    ToughPro Mats and VINs Greater than F022381

    can stand those. Very hard to clean, you have to take the darn thing out each time and it scratches the side of the car. mud and crud embeds inside those honeycombs.

    ToughPro Mats and VINs Greater than F022381

    Trolling Amazon for stuff to buy for the car, I came across these mats. No reviews so I took the plunge and ordered them. Not a perfect fit for the driver and passenger side but I was able to Velcro the parts that needed to stay in place. Looks awesome and much easier to clean and remove from...

    QI Wireless Phone Charging

    I'm a chicken also when it comes to dismantling a 100K car. I got this free standing charger from Amazon with a circular base that fits perfectly inside one of the round cup holders. I ran the USB under the rubberized mat and into the bottom console. The charger has a non-slip ledge that...

    Officer Elon Musk

    I was posting on the M3 forum but I wanted to know if anyone got a notification on their app at a supercharger that their charging is near completion and that a fee will incur if they don't remove their car. I'm want to know how much the penalty is and how it is being enforced. Does Elon give...

    Supercharger congestion problem ideas.

    I was charging my Model X yesterday and I got a noticed on my Tesla App on my phone that my car will be done charging within 15 minutes and if I didn't remove my car that I will be charged. I finished my shopping within that time frame and was able to remove my car even though there's no other...

    Supercharger - Tarrytown, NY

    I noticed that you get more kWh/hr if you are not sharing the same charger with another car. Typically, I get a full charge in about 40-50 minutes.

    Supercharger - Tarrytown, NY

    very excited! This is only 15 minutes from my home and my son goes to the school around the corner so I'll be there a lot. There's a Stop and Shop at that mall correct?

    Dirty Headlines

    Should have went with the dark headliner but got the beige instead. 4 months later, I see a kaleidoscope of stains from make up (not mine) to fingerprints from my disgusting kids. Finally got the nerve to use Resolve stain remover to get rid of: red lipstick smears on sun visor Cheetos...

    FWD creaking noise when opening

    There are owners with the similar issues. I took mine to SC and they fixed it along with defective sensor preventing FWD from opening all the way. Check out the topics on the MX forum for more.

    FWD won't open and driver's door opens slightly

    Just got my X back Saturday for all the issues mentioned here. The SC replaced a sensor above the FWD on the passenger side as well as the driver side door latch. The groaning/clicking noise, they placed some lube or something so it doesn't make any more noise. Took a total of 4 hours but it...

    Driver side Falcon wing door hinge snapping when opening

    I'm having the same exact issue. There's a snapping noise when opening driver FWD. I didn't worry too much since it opens fully and latches BUT now, it only opens 1/3 the way and still making the snapping noise. It looks like there's something wrong with the slider where the joints are...

    Model X Ultra High Fidelity Sound upgrade for 2500.00

    Ask yourself how much do you value quality when it comes to music. My fam and I listen to music about at every chance we get, Sirius XM, Pandora, Slacker, Spotify. We even listen to a white noise maker at night when sleeping so yes I have UHFS in my MX. Worth it to hear Skrillex blasting...

    Wiki Model 3 Reservation Tally

    Just placed my deposit for a Model 3. I'm a current Model X owner and would love to add this to my "Green Revolution" (solar panels, Powerwall 2, and compost bins). Nothing beats driving a Tesla (large windshield, regen braking, AP). Sorry if I get mine first than most but I will report back...

    Sig X at Manhattan Cruise Port: Disney Magic?

    Awesome! Not mine. Going to the Caribbean at this time of year in New York is too cold and choppy. Prefer to go to Bermuda from NYC in the summer. If you see a white 90D, it's mine, the one with the dent on the side. :(

    Free trial offer for autopilot

    Saw a pop up exactly three months of receiving my MX90D. It's for 30 days and you have an option of cancel or start the free trial. I was excited to hit start but it was greyed out, wondering if it is waiting for the 8.0 version. Did anyone get a similar message? I knew that Tesla was...

    Swag bag upon MX delivery?

    Get the umbrella! It makes a better sunshade than the sunshade in the car. It's actually very sturdy. The mug chipped after a few uses.

    What will you do if 8.0 delivers tomorrow?

    Oh! My Tesla app is doing that waking the car thingy, does that mean that it is........updating?! Debating if I should fake a fever, leave work and go home and check!

    First Model X with 8.0

    I heard rumors that version 8.0 is going to resolve Sunshade issue. The car will automatically tint when it is 85 degrees or hotter Ghosting. When the windshield experiences ghosting, the car will automatically eject the old windshield and a drone will fly by and insert a new one. FWD that...

    Experience with flat tire

    $550! I paid 450. You are correct in that they are special. I had Tesla tow my car to the service center which is free and they changed the wheel for me. If you screen some of the posts regarding tires, one guy took the foam pad out of the damaged tire and placed it in a new tire. I don't...
