    Is the X too heavy for a tile floor garage?

    No, that’s not true. First of all, even before the ballon touches the ground, the PSI outside and inside are not the same. The force is equal but the pressure is not. The external surface area is large than the internal surface area because of the thickness of the balloon. I know for ballon the...

    Is the X too heavy for a tile floor garage?

    I didn't mark disagree even though I don't agree with your math. :) It is a discussion. No one is right all the time. Anyone took the time to post, explains and help out others with good intention should be appreciated. The PSI inside the tire is NOT the same as the PSI on the tile. However...

    Model S Refresh coming in September. What about X

    That's the part I don't like about Tesla. Flagship/no flagship/standard/long range/performance .... all interior/exterior looks the same except the little red brake caliper. The very least they should do is free supercharging for flagship model.

    Forged Referral Wheels Waiting Room

    My Model X lease is over while waiting for the wheels ... Planning to order another X or S in couple months when/if they have the 'facelift'. Hope Tesla won't 'stole' my wheels saying I don't have my old Tesla anymore!

    Referral Reward of Turbine Wheels Question

    I have ordered my referral reward of 22” Turbine Wheels for Model X couple months ago, however, my current Model X lease is going to end soon while I am still waiting for the back order of the turbine wheels. Does anyone know if I don’t have Model X anymore, will my reward be cancelled?? Or if...

    End of lease experience?

    Anyone has returned their leased X? Wondering how's Tesla end of lease experience like? Do they extend the lease while waiting for delivery for another Tesla?

    Suggestion of Charging in New York City

    Will be around Queens/Flushing ... Yes, I see a lot of destination chargers in NYC, but almost all of them are inside parking lot. I am just worrying that it will be blocked by non-EV or being used by another EV. Any hotel/hotel chain has destination charger?

    Suggestion of Charging in New York City

    Planning for 3 days long trip in NYC ... I understand there are 'more charging stations in NYC than gas station' as Tesla mentioned multiple times, however, looking at their map, pretty much all of them are inside parking lot or private facilities avaliable for patrons only. I don't mind to pay...

    Rain sensor

    Anyone find their rain sensor terrible or is that just mine? I find both settings are not sensitive enough and when the wipers are on, they are also not 'fast' enough. :(

    Since 8.0 Update, X is Misbehaving

    Unfortunately, Tesla only uses ultrasonic sensors for blindspot detection, the effective range of these devices is 16 feet, inadequate for safely locating vehicles approaching from the rear in adjacent lanes in highway speed. I wouldn't depend on it without looking at the blindspot myself. Most...

    Since 8.0 Update, X is Misbehaving

    With only ultrasonic sensor and no blindspot radar, basically X can't reliably detect vehicle at the blindspot. I have to say the lane change in v8 is much smoother than in v7.1 ... so if it hits a car at the blindspot, it should be a smooth crash.

    Firmware 7.1

    Got updated to 2.28.60 today. New "close all" button according to the release notes. Not sure what else are improved.

    Firmware 7.1

    Did you have a manual pre-set height? I think the trunk always shows yellow.

    EZ Pass location

    According to the manual, it should work ... see below on Pg 163 of Owner's Manual. I posted the question because for some reason, it only works for me 50% of the time. I am just not sure if others are experiencing the same or if it is just my transporter battery.

    Lease with Trade In

    Just want to update that I just received my trade in check yesterday. 3.5 weeks after delivery of the X; Yes, I did have the inspection with the trade-in offer couple weeks ahead, however, they didn't have the actual check for me at the SC which was sent directly by the corporate. They did...

    Driver Assistance Feature

    I agree ... For all practical purposes, there is NO blind spot warning on model X. The big rear screen helps a lot though. I have never seen the side collision warning activated besides on some youtube video. Lane departure ... I felt a little rumble in the past when I have it activated. It...

    EZ Pass location

    According to the Tesla menu, the transponder can be placed above the head at the edge of the huge windshield. It works for me only half the time ... Not sure if it is just my transponder battery or not. Where do most people put it? Or just hold it in your hand, or using exterior one??

    Lease with Trade In

    How long does it take to get the check for your trade in with Tesla? I traded in my vehicle and leased the current X, I was told it could take couple weeks for Tesla to mail you the check of the trade in $ ... Any idea how long? :confused:

    Mic not working on Model X

    Just in case you were doing it wrong. You have to keep holding the button to RECORD the voice command then let go when you are done. Unlike most other cars, you can't just click, let it go then speak ...

    Got my Model X

    Yes. It does. Although it's ventilated, someone has said that instead of 'blowing' air via the seat, it's 'sucking' air via the seat. I can't confirm that but I just subjectively feel it is pretty ineffective ...

    Model X Car Alarm Going Off

    I have never heard my alarm goes off ... In fact, even when there is a passenger inside and I walked away with autolock, nothing happens. I don't think there is an interior sonar detector. Maybe will try to open the door from inside and try to trigger it.

    Got my Model X

    Coming from Cayenne S to X too ... I still miss the Porsche blind spot warning right at the side mirrors and ventilating seat ... but, that's all.

    In-car Trip Planner vs EV Trip Planner

    I see ... I was thinking I could keep my final destination in the NAV and somehow telling the car skip the SC in the app to see the % :p I guess there is no way to enter multiple destination/Stops in the NAV, huh? Thanks!

    In-car Trip Planner vs EV Trip Planner

    Great tips, thanks! How do you know how much battery you still have if you skip a supercharger? It's easy to do so on EV planner, but I don't know how to do it in car. :(

    GPS Fence for Trunk height

    It extends ... in fact, even if the car was locked with the spolier retract, it will extend once the trunk opens. So 'smart'!

    In-car Trip Planner vs EV Trip Planner

    Planning for an upcoming 500 miles trip next month and not sure if I should just depends on the in-car trip planner or the Ev trip planner website. Another thread has mentioned that the in-car trip planner does not take the elevation in the consideration while the EV trip planner site has no...

    Reset Second Row Seat?

    Just want to update that mine also cleared itself after an overnight charging. I think we have the exact same situation! The tilt function of that seat was disabled during the alert as well. I have no child seat at all, however, I had left the second row seat in a forward position then turn off...

    Reset Second Row Seat?

    Does anyone know how to reset the second row seat? I believe, for some reason, the computer and the actual second row seat location is out of sync. It keeps warning me that the seat is not latched, or not all the way back, even though it can't go back any further and the central screen continue...

    What's up with HPWC?

    I was not planning to get the Wall Charger before they come up with the new version that has Slave/Master thing ... SM, why not? ;) I have reserved the 3 that might not even be delivered before 2020 to be the 'slave'. You can actually be very organized with the UMB charger and the slightly...

    What's up with HPWC?

    NEMA 14-50 needs to be installed with 50A breaker ... maximum charging is 40A. I have installed the Wall Charger and I have a 48A Model X. I don't see a huge advantage over using the 14-50 besides more organized with the Wall Charger and slightly faster. If you plan to get another Tesla in the...

    Blind Holster for phone

    I just don't see how this holster thing is better than a simple USB cable plug in. You can't charge your phone the moment you pick it up. Obviously, no driver would ever text, facebook, or go online during autopilot because both hands are always holding the steering wheel ... but, just in case...

    Temporarily disable auto-lock?

    I have to leave my key in the car when there is still a passenger inside to avoid auto-lock, alarm on, and also keep the A/C and radio running while I walk away to pay inside at the gas station ... Ok, maybe not paying at the gas station but some other similar scenario. ;) Is there a better way...

    Brake lights not illuminating during regen?

    I wish the regen brake won't trigger the brake light when passing by a police speed trap. :confused: It is like a reflex to let go on the accelerator when I spot a hidden police car even though I was not speeding. Now, I have to remind myself to keep it lightly tapped to not turn on the brake...

    What's up with HPWC?

    Agree ... I would go with 8 ft cable if I have to do it again. In fact, I have zip tied the remaining cable loop. I don't think I will ever need that. For $50 extra, I just bought the 24 ft cable in case the electrician could not install it between the garage doors and have to hook it up to my...

    How hot is UMC supposed to get?

    You should have the service enter to check it out just for a peace of mind. Mine doesn't feel very hot to touch, but the cable and the unit itself are both warm. I do have some small amount of grease/oil leaking out from the unit the first couple times I used it. It is Tesla, I am sure the UMC...

    What's up with HPWC?

    GPS voice prompt adjustment?

    Idiot List

    The blind spot warning is ultrasonic sensor based, not radar based. So, for all practical purposes, there is no blind spot warning in Model X/S ... Oh, the ventilating seats are also practically useless. The heated seat/steering wheel are great though!

    Blackvue 2-Ch Dashcam Install on Model X

    Very nice set up! ... No installer seems to have done a Model X in the area. Where do you get to the constant 12V down by the drivers kick panel exactly? Left side/right side? Just pop off the cover? How do you go to the rear and interior of the hatch? Just want to give the local installer some...
