    Falcon wing scratching and scuffing other parts

    Anyone with the FWD false obstacle detection error, and your SC was able to fix it once and for all? What did they do exactly? Seems like a pretty common problem for some FWDs, so there ought to have a solution for that by now?

    Thanks to Billy @ Presidential Detailing: Titanium/Black Onyx - chrome black out, Crystalline, etc

    Nice. How do you black out the rear chrome piece where there are some letters on them? Also vinyl wrap? If so how do they get the letters and edges?

    Falcon wing scratching and scuffing other parts

    @lloyds what vin are you? Sorry to hear about your experience? Regarding FWD hitting the front door, my car does that as well. Did Tesla ever communicated officially that it should not?

    California Carpool stickers - most aesthetic placements?

    Related, I tried to put the sticker on the bottom plastic bumper (not the paint), and it doesn't stick that well as I can easily peel it off. I know the plastic piece is not smooth but I was surprised the sticker didn't stick that well as I was thinking the sticker is permanent. Could be due...

    Falcon wing scratching and scuffing other parts

    Based on my non-scientific observations, it seems most of my failures happen when the "path of the closure" is too close to the side plane of the car. Instead of swinging down in a circular path, my door seems to close the last few inches like a van sliding door (top-down instead). Will...

    Falcon wing scratching and scuffing other parts

    @superfly320 I have the exact same problem, and it only happens on the passenger side FWD. Have an appointment at Dublin SC in a few weeks. Have they identified the issues? Hopefully with so many cases they have the solutions by now? I can easily reproduce the issue, usually when the door...

    @lloyds which Bay Area Tesla SC did you use?

    Touch up paint?

    Does Tesla sell any touch up paint that matches the body color (mine is obsidian black). Got a small scratch on the trunk (thanks to the trunk not sensing/stopping appropriately). Not obvious. Just want to cover it with same color....

    Falcon wing scratching and scuffing other parts

    When the door doesn't shut, what happens when you press the open/close door button again? Does it move at all? I have an issue with one of the FWDs where sometimes it doesn't close (as if it detects some interference, but there are none). Just need to press the button again and it will close...

    Falcon Wing Door false obstacle detection

    I have the same issue, FWD would stop when it's closing as if it detects some interference (there are none). Only happens to one FWD so I know something is defective, and only happens on the way down. I am about to call SC but have been waiting to see if I experiencing more/other issues....

    California Carpool stickers - most aesthetic placements?

    For those who are in CA and have the carpool stickers: 1) Do you put all 3 stickers and if so, any suggestions the most aesthetic placements? 2) I am also contemplating putting just one of the required 3. Think I saw a Model S with that. Would you get pull over by the cop if your car does...

    Still no accessory hitch

    In the original launch video, didn't Elon demo a good-looking hitch that can be installed by a kid in 10 seconds? I thought that was the "accessory hitch" and comes free with the vehicles. For those who need more towing power, they could upgrade for $750(?) hitch/software package. I...

    Still no accessory hitch

    Picked up my car end of April and still waiting for my accessory hitch. Anyone got feedback from their SCs the status? I did got the paid hitch for free, but that's not the one I want....

    22" Wheels effect programmed into the reported range?

    I can confirm that it's not reflected in software after a recent 5-hr trip. Also, normal driving condition (70 mph and above) seems to knock down another 10-15% of your range. I was shocked when my 100% charged battery (251 miles range) only got about 170 miles on my last trip!

    Auto parking

    Thanks. I got it to work this morning! It seems the sensors are based on space between 2 cars instead of following the lines. It would be good if it can detect real empty spaces. I guess it also doesn't work if there are 2 empty spots?

    Switching 22" summer tires with 22" all seasons?

    @CaliX I love my black wheels. Noise-wise I don't see a problem with the summer tires...but I am not a picky noise driver :) @goneskiian actually I would drive to Tahoe maybe in the future. So just want to change to all-season in my next set.

    Switching 22" summer tires with 22" all seasons?

    I have the 22" wheels and Tesla give me the summer tires. I live in CA so it doesn't rain/get cold that often, and don't plan to drive to Tahoe anytime soon, so I plan to change them to all-season tires as soon as these sets wear out. Anyone have experience with 22" all-season tires? Do they...

    What's your Wh/mi when taking a long road trip?

    For the 450+ Wh/mi average it was over a 350+ mile trip and we were averaging 80-85 mph. I need to start monitoring my normal non-road trip consumption and see if things improve.

    What's your Wh/mi when taking a long road trip?

    Was using 450+ Wh/mi driving at 80-85 mph on I-5 in CA over the weekend. Wonder what's the most optimum speed vs. time (energy) combination?

    LA to SF Bay Area...Memorial Day Weekend.

    Nice. I did a similar drive over the weekend. I didn't cap my speed so was driving at 80-85 mph on the I-5. On my last leg from Harris to Home (146.5 miles), I was using 450 Wh/mi and it consumed 86% of my fully charged battery. I have a P90D on a 22".

    Anyone else annoyed by the software controlling seat movement and positioning?

    i think with the latest update it will always use the most legroom setting for the 3rd row when it senses someone's weight there.

    Question on summon and home link

    I tried today - somehow my summon/homelink is reversed. When I tried to inch forward into the garage, homelink became activated (thinking that the garage door is in front of the car). When I tried to back out, I got a failure. Any idea how I can recalibrate it?

    Did those who ordered the Accessory Hitch, get that or actually a REAL Towing Package?

    I also got that "adapter" thing that @Sony SS-M7 got--probably because I was also Bay Area (Fremont) pick up. Wasn't the tow package also some upgrade for the X to tow more? How do I tell if the towing limit also got increased?

    Vin42xx - Delayed Till June

    I think VIN and delivery doesn't correlate. Your location probably a bigger deciding factor in your actual delivery: west coast gets deliveries first. On a brighter side, my car is at the SC for some cosmetic fixes; I hope your delivery will be more perfect that mine because the car by itself...

    Model X parcel shelf

    My production p90 does not have it. Didn't even know this exists! Does it go over the third row seat so you need to remove it when you need the 3rd row?

    Did those who ordered the Accessory Hitch, get that or actually a REAL Towing Package?

    I ordered the accessory hitch but it wasn't in stock when I picked up my car 2 weeks ago. dS has no ETA. Anyone on the same boat?

    Question on summon and home link

    If I use summon on my fob to back out the car from the garage when the garage door is close, does it automatically activate home link to open the door? Does it do that because it senses the door is close, or that there is an obstruction? What happens if the door does not open, will it still...

    Anyone else jump ship to Model S?

    I picked up my X (P90D) 2 weeks ago. I have also never driven a Model S before, until today when I got a 70D loaner. IMHO the X is far superior. Don't get me wrong, the S70D is an awesome car by itself, but it (or any other cars in the market) really cannot compare to the X. (And I am not...

    Keep my 22" wheels on 75D - didn't know I'd lose 10-15% range

    How long is your daily commute? Will this really impact you? You do know that either way Tesla recommends you to charge your battery at 90%, right? And you lose range in other conditions like going uphill, constant accelerating, or in cold weather? If you are going to long trip, you will be...

    Anyone else annoyed by the software controlling seat movement and positioning?

    I tested mine extensively the other day. Looks like mine behaves the following: 1) when the easy access button is pressed while someone is sitting in the 3rd row, it would disregard my 2nd row position and return the 2nd row to the position that maximizes 3rd row leg room 2) when no one is in...

    Production P90D early impressions

    @X Fan: both x5 and MX are good but very different. MX is like browsing a computer UI--most controls are in the center console and the navigational is very intuitive and everything is one touch away. There are 2 additional wheel buttons on the steering wheel which you can use to quick access...

    Production P90D early impressions

    Reference pictures for chrome delete?

    Latest manual and software update notes

    where can I get the latest manual for the ModelX? Just updated the software to 7.1 as well and saw the "what's new" on my console--is that information available else where so I can better digest the material when I am not in the car?

    Losing faith in Tesla this week

    Like many others here, I have been a Tesla faithful and a reservation holder for 2+ years (I “reserved” my X on March 2014 to be exact). $5000 deposit is not a lot of money but for those of us who did take the plunge, it’s because we believed in Tesla’s ability to make awesome cars and wanted...
