    Did Tesla steal my car?

    I turned in my Model x for a minor service on Monday. For the last four days at 5pm we get a message saying that they need one more day to complete the service. We tried calling all numbers we have but have not succeeded at reaching a human being in the last four days. The only thing we get is...

    Powerwalls in Chicago anyone

    I am still impatiently waiting on my Powerwalls in Chicago. It is nearly three years now. Does anyone have any information on Powerwall installs in the Chicago area?

    Is the Tesla Powerwall real

    I just got off the phone with Tesla Energy. This is the fifth person I spoke to this month. The last four have promised to absolutely call me back that afternoon, maybe tomorrow morning at the latest to give me an update on my Chicago powerwall order I places two years ago and nobody ever calls...

    Charge powerwall from grid and solar?

    I am hoping to have my site survey done soon. What is not clear to me at the moment is whether I can charge the battery from both the Grid and excess solar? I have a small solar panel that does not have enough overcapacity to fully charge the powerwall. Can I top it up at night from the grid...

    Model S Refresh coming in September. What about X

    I see many articles mentioning that the long-awaited interior upgrade is going to happen for the Model S in September. I don't see the model X being mentioned anywhere. Can we just assume they mean model X as well?

    Adding powerwalls to existing Solar Panel installation. Is it possible?

    I have been impatiently waiting for my powerwalls I ordered over 2 years ago. Every so often a Tesla representative contacts me but as soon as they find out that I already have Solar panels they say that they will get back to me but then never call back. When I try to call Tesla I am always...

    Price help

    After many years on the waiting list I finally found a company willing to sell me two Powerwalls. The provisional quote is $26,000. This is a lot more than the $6,500 per power wall that was promised by Musk. Is this really what everyone has been paying? My install is fairly simple. I need one...

    Model X trade in

    Occasionally I am thinking about upgrading my 2016 90D Model X to a new 100D. When I requested an estimate for the trade in value six months ago I was quite surprised that Tesla is only willing to offer 66K for the car. Bluebook even today has the car at 76K and that is before I add options...

    Powerwall 2 functionality question

    Is it possible to set the powerwall 2 to charge to 80% between 1 and 3 am and then starting at 6 am start discharge when there is a need for electricity and store and excess solar power during the day (when possible)? I don't want the battery to discharge during the night when power is very...

    Falcon wing doors issues on hot days.

    For the last week we have been having a lot of FWD issues. This is especially happening when the car has been in direct sunlight on 100F days. Sometimes the manual override even refuses to work so our kids have to climb over the front seats to get in and out. Is anyone else experiencing these...

    Can Powerwall 2 operate in multimode at the same time?

    From the spec it shows that the PowerWall 2 supports the following modes: Solar self-consumption Time of use load shifting Backup Off grid I am hoping that the powerwall can do a combination of the above at the same time. I would like my powerwalls to charge to 70% overnight for "Time of use...

    Did I just destroy my windscreen?

    I just picked up my car from the detailer. I had the car wrapped in XPEL and an opticoat pro layer added on top including a special opticout product for the windscreen. Just before I was about to pick it up the installer phoned me to advice me to not pick up the car because it needs to dry for...

    Xpell - how much tip

    I am picking up my Model X tomorrow from the detailler. I had the entire car wrapped with xpel as well as the seat backs and had a protective opticoat pro layer applied on the top. The bill will be somewhere around 10k. They had the car 4 days to complete all the work. How much tip should I give?

    Is XPEL ok with all sensors

    I am planning to have my X fully wrapped with XPEL and an Opti-Coat Pro+ by Chicago Auto Pros Detailing. Does anyone have any experience with how this affects the falcon wing doors and autopilot sensors?

    Does the Model X exist?

    I reserved my car late January. So far I have been given a production start date five times and so far four times the date was missed. My fifth date is next week but I got an e-mail last night from my DS saying that they have been shuffling around the dates which probably means that my car will...

    Tesla vs car dealer experience

    Like any normal human being I hate the car dealer experience. I applauded Tesla for finding a way to remove this part of the car buying experience. Now three months into my Tesla buying experience I am not sure which one I prefer. A DS who does not pick up the phone or reply to e-mails and...

    EV Trip Planner - model X

    I am hoping to get my Model X within the next 10 weeks or so. I am hoping to take some road trips with it. EV planner is awesome for this but I am never sure what model to put in. A model X 90D can do less mileage than a 90D but would it be closer to a 85D or a 75D and what wheels should I...

    Does Autopilot on a new Model X need a training period

    People with autopark and autopilot issues in the early days were told that the car might need to be driven for a couple hundred miles before the sensors are correctly calibrated. Is that still the case? If I pick up my model X can I expect autopilot to work straight away or will it take a...

    Six seat configuration comfortable?

    Could someone please comment on how comfortable the second row seat is with the space in between. Does it feel you are sliding off into the gap when cornering? It feels like there should be an armrest on those chairs when in that configuration.

    Car seat installation in second row.

    We are configuring our model X and we are wondering where the attachment point is for the top tether of a forward facing car seat in the second row. In the third row we can clearly see clips at the back of the seats that can be used to clip the top tether onto bit where can you do this on the...

    Rent a Model X in Chicago

    I have a Model X reservation and have been invited to configure but I am still hesitant because it is a lot of money. It would be great if I could rend a Model X for the weekend so that I can experience auto pilot. Does anyone know if it is possible to rent a Model S in Chicago?
