    90D Motor whine?

    Mine is over 6k miles and still has a very slight whine around 52-56mph. I get the impression the car wants to go faster and is kind of complaining about it. Having said that, the EV whine IS a thing, you hear it insanely loudly on a Leaf for example. And on a S90D loaner it was so loud I...

    Regen braking to stop? (similar to BMW i3)

    I just watched a Bolt test drive video which has a separate "gear" selection for 'regen to full stop.' I guess that is how they are handling those drivers that don't trust themselves to remember where the brake pedal is...

    Is anyone else hating the auto door open upon keyfob unlock?

    Opening the front door when unlocking is wrong for me nearly every time it happens. I already have & use auto-present; when I use unlock (fob double click), it's to let someone into a passenger door / FWD. @Telsa Please remove this unwanted, uncontrollable linked feature!!

    Removing Middle Seat from 7-seat Configuration

    I'm also 6'2" and there is a clear obstruction, but after a few weeks of driving I've learned to shift my head slightly to get a good look in the rear view mirror. Not ideal but workable for now. Having said this, clearly the middle row is hugely deficient in functionality, and I look forward...

    Regen braking to stop? (similar to BMW i3)

    How many stops does one come to EVERY trip? I would prefer a gentle stop without having to depress the brake pedal, even if it takes a small amount of energy, as it very much simplifies the driving experience. On the shifter design, I would argue that while Tesla's shifter is a bit old school...

    Torklift Central needs a Model X to test front license plate bracket

    Torklift Central needs a Model X to test front license plate bracket

    Thanks @Torklift Central - I see this is now available : Torklift Central | The Law - Tesla Model X Front License Plate Bracket (Auto Pilot Compatible) x7340

    Tesla LTE

    Totally agree, and this seems a highly likely thought process for 2012. Looking ahead to a possible future where TM charges for mobile access, it would also make sense to allow customers to select a provider-of-choice. And I wouldn't pay for the current quality of connection I get, browsing is...

    How would you like to see the Auto Pilot improved?

    My list: 1. Slow down sooner. This is inconsistent, like I have nice easy stops when approaching stopped vehicles far in front, but if a car moves out of my way, the X tries to speed up to hit my TACC speed, not seeming to notice the vehicles fully stopped only a short distance away. It's like...

    3rd Row Seats Replaced: New Unlatching Procedure?

    3rd row movement still needs work. My wife is 5' and cannot reach the shoulder button to raise the seats, it's a long process of opening FWDs and raising from within the car. They need a strap that unlocks & allows lift from seat backs.

    Tesla LTE

    30% faster than AT&T on average (downlink), faster than VZ too but not by as much: T-Mobile edges out Verizon for fastest LTE network, according to Ookla Ookla is a current, crowd-sourced, independent speed tester. They also test stuff for router companies so they know what they're allowed to...

    Tesla LTE

    Also at walk through I was told they didn't allow us to replace the AT&T SIM with our own SIM, which would be a problem if they decide to require a cost for the service in the future. AT&T is much slower that T-Mobile in most places nationally, but I understand AT&T pretty much gives away the...

    Model X: Average Wh/mile Tracker

    I'd say high 300s, haven't really found my stride yet. I'm four weeks in and still randomly taking ludicrous jaunts whether or not I have passengers. I have also been thinking about the AP and how it still seems to stop way too late, making me very concerned about people who are tailgating me...

    Settings of car while tinting

    This is correct, my driver side window was going up over the trim by a full inch when I got the car back, you can re-calibrate on your own, see Wiki here: Model X Reset Techniques I actually used a different process to re-calibrate, but the Wiki method is simpler. Here's mine: Window Tinting...

    Firm Brake Press Initiates Hold?

    Totally agree, the Vehicle Hold feature is one of the best and I don't have to press the brake any harder than needed for a normal full stop. It has failed to engaged a couple times, but I haven't had this happen enough to know whether I've done something different or if there is some other...

    Early Adaptors Polls

    VINs 461 and 469 - zero visits, all currently working perfectly. I'm a little over 600 miles on mine. I did have to do one screen reset in the first week, and a window reset after tinting, but having access to these forums and those that posted how to do them allowed me to avoid going to the SC.

    To Wrap or not wrap your Model X

    XPEL Stealth on the seat backs, headrests, and both sets of "X" inlays stepping into the car. Looks amazing and now the kids can do what they do to cars... NW Auto Salon in Lynnwood, Washington did incredible work, very happy with the results! It's wrapped just to the last half mm on the...

    Window Tinting Awareness

    Confirmed this worked. We had tinting done and afterward one window was going up too far, so when the door closed it was jumping almost an inch over the trim above the door! These are the steps I took that worked: Step 1: Lower the window all the way; release the window button Step 2: Hold...

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

    The price of being in the safest vehicle on the road...at least that's what we tell each other as we lament the price tag. Like a lot of others have noted, we're going far beyond what we would pay for any other vehicle.

    Any More Test Drive Reports From The Tour?

    Thanks for the great detail to earlier posters! My wife and I went to the Meet Model X event in Seattle Friday night - supposedly everyone that night had already confirmed, like us. No test drives, but all the vehicles MiddKid mentioned were available for show (there was also a Signature...

    Model X Delivery Update

    Yeah, just catching up to the other threads. Too many 'production' themed threads going on. I tied the web site change to what my DS said last week was that the vehicle was about to enter production. Time to bug her again :)

    Model X Delivery Update

    MyTesla now reports, for both our fully loaded P90DLs, "Your Tesla has entered the factory production queue.

    Per their web site, they still only have "forty 30A RV hookups" in Lot B, no EV stations. I'd recommend others contact them like I have asking about EV hookups: Contact Us | Crystal Mountain Resort WA Update, response from CMR: "At this time, Crystal Mountain has no electrical charging...

    TM Vertical Integration - 3DX

    Question for discussion, mostly because manufacturing processes are way outside my experience: Is this a natural progression for a growing manufacturer or some recognition that communication appears to be severely limited, both internally and externally? Or both :) Tesla is implementing a new...

    Delivery Accessories

    For those who have taken delivery - what else comes in the "box?" e.g., tire patch kit, charging adapters, charging cables, mobile phone adapters? What else can/should one purchase from Tesla at the time of delivery? e.g., paint touch up, all weather mats, or anything from above examples...

    Request: interior pano (VR/cardboard view)

    Requesting Model X panoramic interior shots (all colors) I can throw in my Google cardboard VR viewer... easy to do with cell phone, e. g., Cardboard Camera app works well on Android. Stills are great but it's also nice to scan around and see it all in context. Thanks in advance!

    "Meet Model X: Exclusive Viewing"

    Signature 503 Delivered

    Might be able to do it in two or more steps. Not ideal, but may eliminate the 'human error' component.

    Signature 503 Delivered

    I think I am still a couple months out but will be sharing insight going from a Toyota minivan to a Model X, my first Tesla. I'm guessing there will be just a little culture shock.

    How are your Ultra White Seats looking?

    I think UW looks incredibly awesome...from the side; however, from the front it looks like people are sitting in the car even when empty, and when people ARE in the seats, the people seem to stand out a little too much for my taste. I also love the idea of saving 3-4 cows by going vegan on...

    Do You Want Your Model X Sooner or Later?

    There are several complaints, in multiple threads, but from what I've followed the most concerning ones relate to 2nd row seat motors not always behaving/sticking, door handles not always responding, and possibly overly-sensitive FWD sensors and/or "stuck" FWD. I haven't read about issues with...

    Secrecy of VIN and RN #'s

    Don't get me wrong, I think this is fully plausible, but the cynical side of me thinks, "just what Tesla need - test drive vehicles to fail during a demo...that'll sell more cars!" Or maybe they'll save the early production ones for special "Elon/Franz/JT Edition" for $170k :)

    Working on Autopilot v2 hardware suite - Confirmation by Elon

    One consolation is that Tesla has announced that at the time of production, they build the best, most advanced vehicle possible. They have already been shown to automatically upgrade newer version cars when a technology is available, so if it takes 6 months to build your vehicle, you will...

    What did you Order?

    Isn't the tracker falling behind? It still shows last updated 12/23 with highest number invited around sequence 10k. I know I've put my details in at over 12k confirmed and VIN assigned, but the dashboard doesn't show it.

    Q1 2016 Deliveries and Mix

    It sure seems like Tesla know barely more about delivery status than we do, internal communication seems so inconsistent...I called after my VIN was assigned (4xx after confirming 1/04) and was told that there were three factors determining which production models would be produced first: 1...

    Will Model X have all-wheel steering?

    RE: Model X Turning Radius: I am posting here as I didn't find a more relevant thread - does anyone have data on Model X turning radius? It's not in the screen grabs MarkZ posted here: Will MX fit in my garage? - Page 5 - wondering if it's same as Model S 18.5' (37' turning circle).

    Random Model X sightings

    Two quick opinions: 1. I think we have too few sightings of any kind still, so I'm happy to see service center, showroom, supercharger, or random other sightings all in this one thread. 2. I'll be happy to post my VINs when they arrive, and kindly ask anyone who spots them ANYWHERE to let me...

    Production X Configuration Has Begun!

    Picked titanium and silver, both vehicles 20" turbine wheels, accessory hitch only, 72A charging, all other options except Ludicrous. I might do Ludicrous on one but will need more time to think on it. My wife and I are hoping for Spring deliveries - the note on MyTesla still says "early 2016...

    Random Model X sightings

    Neither is TM :) I think they learned their lessons about giving out dates, prefering the ambiguously annoyed customer over the perpetually disappointed. Only when someone like Vance is egregiously wrong does EM speak out. "Random hacker can do better than Tesla Motors!" Still reloading...

    Production X Configuration Has Begun!

    Last batch on 12/07 came out around 1pm PST. Probably after the TM folks got their coffee, got into the office, and finished prepping for the storm! Or maybe they wanted lunch first. :)
