    Anyone regret getting an X over an S?

    i'll say this.... i've been driving Model S for the past 4 years (two of them, actually). i wanted AP2 so i decided to get my 3rd Tesla. thought about changing it up and getting an X. then i realized, they basically cost the same. P100D S and X both cost between $160-165k fully loaded...

    Tesla's Autopilot needs to be shut down and NHTSA needs to do their due diligence

    did you even bother reading WK057's original post? he quite blatantly said it shouldn't have been released, just as the OP did. here, allow me to do the research you didn't: again, i'm not agreeing/disagreeing. i just find it funny how two people say the same thing and get vastly different...

    Tesla's Autopilot needs to be shut down and NHTSA needs to do their due diligence

    i find it interesting that this post got 3 informative ratings, 2 likes, and 2 loves. yet it perfectly echoes the OP's sentiment on AP2's shortcomings. the OP got 32 dislike ratings. :confused:

    Another solid experience with Tesla Service, and WOW the P100DL is scary

    you keep saying 90L. does that mean a P90D with Ludicrous? or a P90DL? come on, people... are we really shortening the acronyms now?

    Model X March 2017 Deliveries

    what's the approx timeline after your myTesla page moves to "Your Tesla is currently in production."??? like, a week to build, a week to ship? more than that?

    Deliveries for new orders now in May?

    YelliYeti, i don't know if this helps your understanding of anything, but i'm a 42,xxx VIN too. except i'm a P100D. my car went into production yesterday (Feb 27). estimated delivery: "March - early April". personally i think it's BS they prioritize the P cars, but whatever.

    Female engineer sues Tesla, describing a culture of 'pervasive harassment

    1 - i stand corrected 2 - i agree with you completely. the problem is everywhere of course. but isn't the problem WORSE in Silicon Valley because of the predominance of men there?

    Female engineer sues Tesla, describing a culture of 'pervasive harassment

    i'm not saying workplace harassment of women doesn't exist. it absolutely does and it's a huge problem. but on the heels of the Uber thing? it seems to be the hot lawsuit of the month... capitalizing on Silicon Valley's current image problem. not saying her case isn't true, but it's...

    Don't get 21" wheels

    so you admit it's a black-swan of a pothole, that the 19" wheels wouldn't have survived either, and that 10 other cars got flat tires. and yet you proclaim "don't get 21" wheels"?!?!??! i think your title should have read: "don't be unlucky enough to hit potholes the size of craters". i've...

    2017 Model S P100D Delivery Disaster ****

    this. i'll bet you dollars to donuts you (nor me) would notice what set this dude off and had him refusing delivery. some people really do just live very very differently, as Canuck pointed out.

    P100DL with full Xpel Stealth wrap is finally here!

    so i'm looking into this and an installer who does Suntek says that he prefers their product to XPel. he says the Suntek PPF-M has a more satin look whereas the Xpel Stealth has a more matte look. satin having a little more sheen and depth than the matte. and he prefers it. so confused...

    P100D ludicrous vs. insane

    good lord. that is scary. sounds like it was a P100DL and they sold it to you for $10k less as a P100D. they forgot to take the underline badge off the back of the car. and they lied to you about the Insane stuff. jeez. i would be livid if i were you. i would go back to that salesman and...

    P100DL+ on a dyno pulls 920tq to the wheels on the 8th pull - Video

    horsepower is an archaic stat. it comes into play in high-speed acceleration but little else. torque is where it's all at. and the P100D is knocking on the door of 1,000lb-ft which is straight COCONUTS. consider the new Ferrari 812 SuperFast. it's the mirror image of the P100D. it has...

    Model X + Personal Property Tax = Expensive

    yep. now imagine those same taxes on a $165k car! oh, and no fed tax credit bc i'm retired. now add in car insurance at $3k/yr. and annual service about $700/yr. and a new set of performance rubber every year about $2k. sux.

    Model S P100D Hits 0-60 in 2.2755 Seconds w/1 Foot Rollout

    sorry for the dumb question but i can't find the answer... how much horsepower does the P100DL have? i assume it's the same for both X and S? and how much after the Ludicrous Plus easter egg?

    Anyone not like the Tesla 22" wheels after getting them?

    eh.... i disagree. i'm coming from a Model S P85D with 21" turbines. i test drove a Model X P90D with 22" turbines, and it was FAR softer and more forgiving ride quality than my S. now, the 20" might be even more soft of a ride, but the 22's were very comfortable in my opinion.

    P100DL with full Xpel Stealth wrap is finally here!

    so you started with the Jet Black or the Obsidian Black? man if i saw your car before i ordered, i woulda gone with Jet, saved $1k, and done what you did. instead, i got Obsidian black. :-(

    P for Performance or Party Trick

    you can say it as many times as you like, that doesn't make it true. quite the opposite - i think the P100D is for people who only want ONE car, that does everything. Instead of having a sports car, and an SUV, and a sedan, and a minivan. you get all of that in one vehicle, the P100D (more...

    did you immediately swap the tires out after delivery? i know the summer perf tires that come on the P100D aren't giving you that kind of winter performance...

    P for Performance or Party Trick

    says the guy who jerry-rigged a P75D badge!?! this poll will come down to: all non-P owners voting "party trick" and all P-owners voting "performance". the former to make them feel better about not having P power. the latter because they know it's about much more than a 0-60 launch. i just...

    Ludicrous + on XP100DL?

    how much horse power does the Model X P100D have? like, real horsepower. not *up to*. the recent CNN article about the 2.2 Model S says 760hp. is that accurate? is that with or without the + easter egg?
  34. DillyBop

    Ludicrous + on XP100DL?

    that's what i was thinking.... if Tesla says 2.9 for the X-P100D, then i'd imagine the L+ would shave a tenth off of that and get down to 2.8. but is it just a tenth? the S went from 2.5 to 2.2. might the X get into the 2.6 or 2.7 range? i'd love it if someone (like Motortrend, or anyone...

    Ride quality

    just finished an overnight test drive in a Model X P90D with 22" wheels. i couldn't disagree more with the naysayers. i found the ride to be very, very nice with a good balance between comfort and sportiness. potholes were well soaked-up (even with 22's!) and i didn't hear any rattles (even...

    Ludicrous + on XP100DL?

    is the "Ludicrous Plus" easter egg available on the Model X as well as the S? if so, what does this bring the 0-60 down to in the X? thanks

    absolutely 100% false.

    Windshield tint

    lots of myths about tinting windshields up in here. you don't get it tinted as dark as side windows! (e.g. 30-40%) they make very transparent films specifically for windshields. for the Spectra Photosync which offers the best heat deterrence, they have a 75% option. btw this does NOT mean...

    Advice Travelling the I-81 Corridor?

    how did your trip go, DiamondDave? i am going from DC area to Nashville this summer on I-81. i'm wondering how that Wytheville to Knoxville leg was. almost 200 miles. i'll be in a P100D Model X with 22" rims. i think if i charge to 100% in Wytheville, keep speed at 70mph, and go easy on the...

    Windshield tint

    i'm definitely going to get my X tinted with Spectra Photosync. 75% on the windshield... 45% on the front two windows. i had this done on my last Model S and really really liked it. i imagine with the huge X windshield it will be even more necessary.

    Armrests and seat recline - both lacking on Model X 2nd row - why??

    absolutely agree. the Model X could be amazing if it had proper captains chairs in the 6-seat config WITH ARMRESTS. even sitting in the 6-seat X in a showroom felt awkward. your "inner" arm just dangling there. such a half hearted design. and yes, also inexcusable that the seats don't...

    Performance Plus + suspension ---> regular suspension owners

    question for those who have owned either a P85+ or a pre-April 2015 P85D (i.e. has the + suspension), and now have a P90D or P100D..... how big of a drop off in driving quality/fun is it? is it possible to enjoy a "regular suspension" Model S after living with the Performance Plus suspension...

    P100D vs 100D - $37K?

    yes but consider your garage, dude. of course you can "get by" with a mere 100D for you X. because if you're feeling the itch to go fast, you can step into your Ferrari. or McLaren 650. or Tesla Model S P100D. or Ford GT. or god knows what else you have available to you. but for us...

    P100D vs 100D - $37K?

    great point. a 2017 MB GLS550 starts at $94k. a 2017 MB GLS63AMG starts at $124k. $30k difference. for an additional 128hp and 45lb-ft torque. i'm pretty sure the power step up from the 100D to the P100D is more than that.

    P100D Owners: Why did you choose P100D?

    awesome info and perspective. gratzi! i'm struggling to decide between an X 100D or P100D. like you i've already owned a P85 and P85DL, so i'm very worried that not getting another P will result in me being disappointed. btw - i also have debated between getting (what would be) my 3rd...

    6 or 7 seat configuration?

    truly an agonizing decision but i think i am going to go with the 6 seater. it still really sucks there is no armrest for the 2nd row seats and your "inner" arm is just dangling there. WHERE ARE THE AFTERMARKET 2ND ROW CONSOLE/ARMREST SOLUTIONS?!?!?!??!
