    Change to Slacker algorithm?

    About two days ago, one of the channels I created on Slacker suddenly changed nearly all the music it plays. The channel is based on the artist Pentatonix. It used to play Adele, Ariana Grande, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, etc., along with Pentatonix. Pentatonix is still played, but I haven't heard...

    Idiot List

    Don't open your FWDs and garage door at the same time. The FWDs will see open space above and open fully. The garage door mechanism will then move and hit the edge of the FWDs.

    Firm Brake Press Initiates Hold?

    So that's what the little "h" stands for. Works really well on hills. :)

    Who loves their Model X? Consumer Reports this thread is for you!

    I've had my X for nearly a month now. Is it flawless, no. Is it perfect, absolutely. I drove my "old" Lexus RX 450h today because I still don't want to park my Tesla at Bart. The old car was like driving a wet sponge in comparison to the practically thought-powered responsiveness of the Tesla...

    What will you name your Model X?

    Vitesse- means speed in French, also a play on Tesla, didn't want to go with Tessy, figured there would be many of those.

    I just rejected my Model X delivery :(

    I got my stock 20s powder coated. They are the exact color of the onyx 22s, much less expensive, too.

    Crunch! Falcon Wing Doors fail to sense obstacle

    I am hoping they'll put a bit of padding on the beam, so the next X that parks there won't be damaged.

    Crunch! Falcon Wing Doors fail to sense obstacle

    FWIW-I took my week old model X to Disneyland (I wanted to compare the acceleration to California Screamin'). The only hotel in the immediate area with a destination charger is the Anaheim Marriot. The Tesla-specific charger is in a parking structure with low overhead concrete beams. My fwd did...

    Power off while inside

    I tried it yesterday, turning off the power while waiting to pick up my daughter, and when I turned the car back on, there was a warning about the emergency brake being disabled that I could not get rid of during the drive home. Has anyone else gotten that warning and how do you get rid of it?

    Power off while inside

    I went to that screen this afternoon in the same situation of waiting for a kid and it said "emergency" power off. Is it really "emergency" or is it garden variety power off? Sitting in a powered off car still uses less energy than one sort of on, even if it is electric.

    How many people got a "problem-free" Model X?

    With all of the talk about problems people are having with their cars, it made me almost expect there to be serious problems. The second day driving my shiny new car on the freeway, I heard what sounded like excessive road noise coming from the right rear door. I figured it was the problem seals...

    Model X Withdrawal!

    I brought mine home from OCDetailing on Saturday. Merlin is in the background of the photo. Joe did a beautiful job, seat backs look really good with the stealth finish Joe suggested. I am planning to put some tint on the side front windows as well for the heat, but I will have to go back to...

    6 seat versus 7 seat - need HELP please

    My 6'3" son says he thinks the third row may actually be more comfortable for him than the second row in the six seat version , due to room to stretch his legs between the seats. I also think headliner color may make a difference in how the third row feels. I sat in a seven seat, black...

    Car insurance

    Yeah, it is. P90DL with all the bells and whistles except fancy wheels. The coverage is 300/500.

    Ultra high fidelity sound?

    Somewhere in the forum, I saw that someone said that using high quality source material made a big difference in the quality of the audio output. Does anyone have any recommendations for high quality source material, something like a Toccata and Fugue in D minor?

    CA CVRP Income limits take effect for any purchase on/after Mar. 29th

    Having spoken to the California EV rebate program people directly on this issue, there are sample documents on their web site. Tesla has its own category for sample documents, apparently recognizing that you don't just go to the lot and take home a car. The purchase order date may be the...

    Model X - Missing and most wanted features

    Which may work if you're male and have your fob in your pocket, but if you keep your fob in your purse, it may not be in the driver's seat with you.

    Model X - Missing and most wanted features

    You can't effectively have the driver settings attached to the fob because you will confuse the car when multiple fobs are present, such as when both you and your spouse are in the car and you both have fobs. Very adjustable headrests would be really nice.

    Post Delivery Model X Detailing: Why and what?

    I have a reservation to take mine to OCDetailing shortly after I get it (hope to see Merlin there ). My reasoning is that the newer paints which are lower VOC than older ones are supposed to be softer that those old ones and therefore more likely to be damaged over time. Also, the glossy seat...

    What car do you currently drive while waiting for the Model X?

    2010 Lexus 450h, red, 116000 miles, which will go to my son when he gets his license later this year. Before that, a 1995 Honda Accord, red, 280000 miles, sold still running nicely.

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

    I'm in California with VIN 11xx and have been told that my car has not actually entered production yet, as of today, but that it is still expected to be delivered by the end of the month.

    Model X Financing questions

    Basis points, that is, 100 basis points is one point higher interest. So if you could get a loan at 1.99% through TM (I don't know what their current rates are) elguapo is suggesting BofA would be 2.99%. FWIW, as of yesterday, Wells Fargo was at 2.74%.

    CA Residents - this car costs $2,500 MORE after 3/31/16

    Production (Non-Sig) Model X Vin #'s now being issued

    The March-April estimated delivery in the code is not in 1970, IMO. I've been checking my page source code regularly. The 1970s dates have been there for a while, but my March-early April estimate just showed up today. VIN 11xx. Factory delivery.

    Where is there any solid information about the current production figures? I had thought I had heard 200/week, but that does not seem to be the case.

    Does a Tesla Model X really need an odometer?

    Yes, it really needs an odometer. I can think of a couple reasons off the top of my head. First, practically speaking, insurance companies always ask about how many miles you drive in a year in order to rate how much to charge you for your coverage. I don't think that would be different just...

    It is with their test drive cars, not in the showroom proper. The interior is black leather, black headliner, dark ash trim, seven seats, fully loaded.

    There is now a pearl white model x at the Walnut Creek CA Tesla showroom. I saw it today.
