    New suspension noise in 2016 Model X P90D

    I also have a grinding noise on my 2016 90D. It is garage kept, low mileage 34K, not driven every day. It happens when the car first starts moving with or without brakes. After a short while it stops. I have wondered if it is brakes, suspension or just tesla arthritis.... Researching to see...

    How to manage PW when grid is out and solar power generation is intermittent

    Thank you for this info. I am working on a procedure to set up for any extended grid outage. I am hoping that in the event of an extended grid outage I can preserve enough power in PWs to power inverters when solar is available again (eg, daytime and panels not covered in snow). I can then...

    How to manage PW when grid is out and solar power generation is intermittent

    In my case StormWatch seems to keep my PW reserve at 100% (instead of my normal 20%) so PW are not used when grid is on (like at night when PW's power the house) So during a power outage - should I physically turn off PWs at say 20% to preserve power for restart when solar is available? - Is it...

    How to manage PW when grid is out and solar power generation is intermittent

    To turn off PW to preserve power for restart when solar is available - Is it best to just use switch on sides of PWs? And then stagger startup load using breakers in my electrical panel?

    How to manage PW when grid is out and solar power generation is intermittent

    Pretty sure my PWs are set up to only charge from solar and not Grid so this is not a factor for me.

    How to manage PW when grid is out and solar power generation is intermittent

    I don't think so . The only reason would be if your area has lots of StormWatch, warnings that don't impact power. After totally running out I think the benefit would out weigh the risk. Particularly during cold weather when you need heat. Mine is now on all the time.

    How to manage PW when grid is out and solar power generation is intermittent

    Thanks , I will find the jump start pw procedure. That would have worked because solar panels were cleared and sun was out. We had the house wired so we have two circuit panels - one that is backed up with PW and the other that is just grid. We can turn off breakers within the PW backed panel...

    How to manage PW when grid is out and solar power generation is intermittent

    Hi, Sorry for what may be a simple question. What is the best way to manage PW when the grid is out. Specifically when to shut down PW to preserve enough power to start up inverters. I have 3 PW 2s and we had worse case scenario a couple weeks ago and PWs were completely drained and grid was...

    Supercharger - Bethesda, MD (Permanently Closed, Oct 2016)

    Unfortunately I could not see any map that showed Clarksburg as a supercharger location (I don't know that those parking spaces are anything more than just reserved for low emssion vehicles). It would be great to have one before Hagerstown. I have a sister in Frederick and I live in Richmond...

    What type of purchasing experience do you prefer?

    IMO Prior to purchasing my Tesla, my experience purchasing cars was very one sided and centered around used cars. You see I worked for CarMax for over 20 yrs. In that time I saw the used vehicle retail experience revolutionized by a company with a customer centric approach to selling cars...

    Model X Timeline - From Prototype to Production

    Until you get closer to production you may not see much. Don't depend on MyTesla. They are not updating it very frequently. Your DS is a better source of info and likely is very swamped with June deliveries. I would recommend reaching out by email to introduce yourself. The first sign of...

    @Darryl So sorry to hear about your experience. I expect to get my X next week and will be 2hrs from SC. However, from reports it seems like the production quality is much better on the X's coming off the line now - so I hope not to need to visit SC much. That doesn't help you - seems like...

    X owner claims unintended acceleration caused accident

    A test- anecdotal evidence that shows that the AP and CC will not engage below 18mph.... good thinking @madodel - hope you were doing this in an area that was safe in the event that it did engage!:eek:.... So the theory that AP or CC pressed the gas is unlikely. Also - I really respected the...

    Lloyd Mats - Rubbertite mats in the X? Good?

    I just assumed that my carpet will be black.. don't recall a question on that. I am guessing the color choice on mats was to match seat color choice? black/tan/white? Also it would seem like a better idea to have a folding cargo mat that has a crease or hinge that allows the mat to stay in...
