    2016 Model X P90D - 96K Miles - SF Bay Area

    Thanks Chandu_732. Yes, I bought the new car myself from Tesla in 2016.

    2016 Model X P90D - 96K Miles - SF Bay Area

    This shows the scrape. https://photos.app.goo.gl/ouKxKUFGVEnQJqyi6 I truthfully don't know how the supercharging and data work on transfer. I've been the only owner and it's always been free for me. The car was purchased in 2016 so it appears that supercharging sticks with the car (ie., should...

    Audio input levels for different sources

    Funny. I tweeted about this the other week. The photo and TuneIn are way lower than Slacker which is lower than FM. Noah Eisner on Twitter

    Pull-down shortcut

    So I’m sure this has been mentioned elsewhere, but it was news to me...so I figured I would post. On the map, you can pull-down the “Navigate” box and it will immediately map you to Home. And I think if you are at home, it will navigate you to Work. Just a nice quick shortcut...

    Bay Area - Best In-Person Sighting Options?

    Factory lot is open since there's a supercharger there. I am not sure how likely you'll see a 3 around. In Palo Alto at HQ, you can often get in the lot on the weekends...but again, not sure there will be a 3 sitting around. But good luck!

    Love It - Not for Long Drives

    Appreciate the replies...glad people don't think I'm just some hater. I do love the car and have actually put on close to 28K miles. A few things: - I ordered it on 12/11/15 before the first signature was delivered. So I don't think we knew what it could do in real-world driving. I may have...

    Love It - Not for Long Drives

    I have over 26K miles on my P90D MX and can say I love the car for everyday driving. The handling, the comfort, the auto-pilot, the space...all top-notch. Being able to charge at home saves time. While I had some early problems and an alignment issue along the way, the Tesla service team...

    Are front license plate holders pre-installed?

    I installed The Law after getting a ticket from the parking police in San Francisco. Fortunately it was a fix-it for $10 as opposed to the full penalty of $121. Week into it, and I have had no problems with AP, cooling or anything else. Although California requires front plates, I was...

    P90D range - Should mine be better?

    I've been concerned with my P90D's range since getting it in March. Took a road trip today and wanted to see if there's something I should get checked out. P90D, 20" tires (over 4K miles on them), range mode ON, driving from Palo Alto area to Truckee and back. I'll focus on 2 legs with data...

    Service Blues.....

    I'm in the same camp with 3 service visits totaling 37 days in the 109 days that I've owned the car. My local service center (and most if not all in the Bay Area) is totally overloaded. Part of me thinks I should ask for a refund / lemon law...but I do appreciate the car when I have it.

    Charger installation - who did you use in Santa Clara county area

    Just use a local electrician. Truthfully you only need a 14-50 plug...no reason for the wall charger in my opinion. It will max out at 40amps, so you'll charge at about 26 miles per hour which will get you up to a full charge every night. I have mine set to start charging at 11:05pm when PGE's...

    Model X Service - Long Queue

    It's Palo Alto, but I think this is more a result of shipping out lots of MX at end of Q1 in Bay Area. I suspect many of them have issues like mine. Perhaps a better approach would have been to bring it to the factory. One thing I can say is that the service advisor told me that the previous...

    Model X Service - Long Queue

    I received my MX towards the end of March. There were 3 due bill items that I found in the factory pickup. Over the next week, upon closer inspection, I found another ~22 issues, plus the recall of 3rd row seats. Early April, I went over my local SC and they said that their manager was only...

    Prevent Auto-Presenting Doors

    @dwebb66 - because there was a wall in front of our cars that wouldn't have worked...although that's a good idea. @sukhi - i had it disabled originally, but i've come to enjoy it. i think you are ok with hitting things randomly since it really only pops a couple inches to begin with. the...

    Prevent Auto-Presenting Doors

    I have the auto-presenting doors feature on. I normally love it and works great. However I was wondering what I could do to prevent the door from opening if necessary. This is what happened yesterday. Parked in a lot and got out. When I returned, a car had parked pretty close to mine. I'd...

    Midnight Silver (with changes) pics

    Joe owes me the pics. When you say side view, you want it perfectly perpendicular? On the powder coating, around my area, expect in the range of $750-$1000. That said, it makes a huge difference IMHO. I've had numerous people come up to me and say how much they love it and the black makes it...

    Tesla X last straw - Open Letter

    I have a little bit lower VIN and got a similar story, albeit a month earlier. Around March 20th, I received the vehicle. The production date on the tag inside the door said 1/16...so clearly it was sitting around for quite a while while they tried to fix the issues. However, I can tell you...

    Troublesome noise at ~50MPH

    I took it to my local service center and we took it for a test drive. Technician saw that it had to do with the spoiler adjusting at that speed. He lubricated it and it hasn't been making the noise. However, they'll do some more stuff when it goes in for a variety of "fixes" later in April.

    Troublesome noise at ~50MPH

    I have a list of cosmetic things that need work on my X that I picked up 10 days ago. Also my brakes will produce a high-pitched squeal occasionally. However, one is more worrisome and wondering if anyone has experienced it. When my car accelerates normally to around 48-51 MPH, there's a...

    Midnight Silver (with changes) pics

    If you are in the Bay Area, Joe at OCDetailing in Walnut Creek did these. @sukhi - price depends on what parts you Xpel. Joe will get back to you quickly and tell him I sent you over. [email protected]

    Midnight Silver (with changes) pics

    After taking delivery, I had some protective treatments done on my X. Really happy how they turned out. I don't have the shop's higher quality shots yet. But here are a couple. My favorite part on the interior are the seat backs which were done with Xpel Stealth and coated with Opticoat plus...

    Considering Switching Delivery to Factory Pickup

    Yup, kind of surprised me. That's what end of quarters do for public companies :) My DS offered me 9am or 4pm since 11am and 2pm were already taken. Headed to pickup right after my youngest one's basketball game. That's a good day.

    Considering Switching Delivery to Factory Pickup

    Picking up my X on Sunday afternoon at the factory. Sure it's been posted elsewhere, but here is the info on tour requirements: Factory Tour Requirements: You may bring a group of up to 4 people, including yourself. All persons must be taller than 48 inches. No photos or videos inside the...

    WOOT! Delivery scheduled for Thursday 3/17 @4pm!

    Congrats pvogel! Looking forward to hearing your experience. From the pictures of others who have taken delivery, there's the MSRP sticker on the car. Perhaps ask your DS to put that away in the glove compartment. As far as dealing with these "thorny" issues, my tactic is to set low...

    Low VIN - Worries over delay?

    I have a low production VIN (sub-170) with factory pickup and I'm started to get a bit worried. Trying to figure out if it is justified or not. By its VIN and all indications, the car was produced quite a while ago, but it hasn't been delivered. I try to avoid emailing my DS (probably 3 emails /...

    Starting to deliver Production P90D

    I have VIN 16X and I got an email reply that mine is in assembly, then go to finishing production, then inspections/QC. After that He will have a, idea on timing of delivery which is kind of ironic since I am picking up at the factory. Thank god I have a dependable Prius.

    Starting to deliver Production P90D

    It's actually still on the page, but they make it invisible in the browser. i posted in the FB Tesla Model X Owners group how to view it. Essentially you view source (depending on the web browser) and then amongst all the HTML, search for Estimated Delivery.

    Random Model X sightings

    Saw this Metallic Silver founders X in Palo Alto today. Was super psyched because that was the color I ordered and I love it! What was weird was the passenger FWD was slightly ajar...it was parked and no one was inside. I hope it was just a driver error and not a problem with the door. Other...

    Production (Non-Sig) Model X Vin #'s now being issued

    I too have a non-ludicrous P90D with a VIN in the 16X range. I emailed with my DS last week but he only said production schedules are fluid. I'm picking up at the factory and will be sad to retire my Prius with 170K miles.

    Ultra High-Fidelity Sound?

    Got the invite (P #32XX) and figuring out whether I want the upgraded stereo option. Sirius XM isn't a huge deal, but I'm not sure what difference the sound quality makes with amp, subwoofer and 16 speakers. From what I understand on the S, it is a difference between 12 and 7 speakers (plus a...
