    Recommendations for body shop in Seattle/Bellevue

    Unfortunately I made a silly mistake and ended up damaging the bumper of my Model X. I'm looking for recommendations for an excellent body shop in the Seattle/Bellevue area. Thanks!

    Help required! Model X does Silver and white seats work??

    I believe I can answer this for you. My wife and I have his and hers Model X's. Both are silver. She has black interior and I have white. No question white looks far better but is not practical if you have kids.

    "Ghost Car" problem with auto-pilot. Anybody else?

    I have had this problem for ages. I have reported it to Tesla numerous times. I have also shared video I have made. So far they tell me that they cannot duplicate the problem and don't have a solution.

    Name one thing you most loved about the X and one thing you most hated about the X

    First road trip in your MX

    Heading back to Seattle from Fremont today. Last week we drove down Hwy 101 from WA to CA. Due lack of superchargers on the road we had to decide whether to zig zag back and forth or use DC chargers. In the end we did the zig zag method for most of the trip. Loads of fun. Highly recommended...

    Hazard lights won't stop blinking

    I had exactly the same problem under exactly the same circumstances yesterday. I resolved it by exiting the vehicle and locking it. Then getting back in and pressing the hazard light button to turn it off. Definitely a glitch that TMC need to look into.

    How many people are taking delivery of their Model X in March?

    I must admit that I had many sleepless nights myself trying to decide whether to buy the 6-seat or the 7-seat configuration. Unfortunately being an early adopter and buying the car essentially sight unseen, I knew that whatever decision I made it would be a "best guess" based on the few...

    My Worst Nightmare :(

    So sad. Sorry to see this. Fortunately no one was injured and this can be fixed. I think Tesla needs to upgrade software to prevent car driving if any doors are open.

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

    I was showing my new MX to a friend when he pointed out the missing rubber stopper on the hood of the frunk. I don't know how I missed it during delivery inspection.

    Ultra White Seats

    I have a ultra white seats in my MX. Only been driving the car for a little under a week. So far so good but I am concerned about discoloration. Equally worrisome, the seats are super soft. Much softer than my wife's black leather seats on her MX. It will be interesting to see how well the...

    6 seat versus 7 seat - need HELP please

    I own 2 Model X's, one with 6 seats (mine) and the other with 7( my wife's). I also have 3 kids. It is definitely a snug fit for anyone in the back 2 seats but especially so with the 7 seat configuration. Little kids seem to love the back seats and don't seem to mind the fact they are bit...

    Model X - Missing and most wanted features

    Sadly I have to agree with you. My sensors also don't always see other cars. Also I noticed that the Model S has 3 sensor zones on each side of the car whereas the Model X only has 2.

    Worried about perforated seats

    Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I tried a fabric steamer to soft the chocolate but it didn't work well and seemed to have an adverse effect on the leather. I eventually used a paper clip to gently push the chocolate through the holes. I'll take photos to show for comparison. In any...

    Worried about perforated seats

    My wife's car has perforated black leather seats. Yesterday a friend was eating chocolate in the car and after I dropped him at home, I noticed that some chocolate had been compressed under his leg and melted into the perforations of the seat. Try as I might I have yet to be able to completely...

    Model X - Missing and most wanted features

    I love the MX and I think Tesla have created a remarkable vehicle. I've been so delighted that I bought a second Model X! However having owned and driven our MX for nearly a month, I have noticed a number of missing features, some of which can be found in other, less expensive cars and SUVs...

    Tesla MS Design changes and quick rant / Tesla Customer Service

    I empathize with Silverpnt01. It's one thing to buy a car, take ownership and then find out that there are new upgrades you would have liked, vs. ordering a car and while it is still in production, find out that there are upgrades available that you weren't aware of...

    For existing Tesla owners does standing in line push you further towards the top.

    Will owners of multiple Teslas go ahead of single Tesla owners?

    Record time for Model X order to delivery?

    Yup I think you are probably correct. Reading the forums it does appear that some reservation holders decided not to purchase a car at this time. I'm glad I was able to get my MX so quickly
