    V8.0 Autopilot prevented a rear-end collision

    What did you do during the time your car was beeping and as you saw the grand Cherokee ditch into the median, and as your hurtled towards the corolla? I know it happened fast, but surely you had time to respond. I don't ask to be snarky, I'm just curious whether or not you took over, or if you...

    Darth Vader or Stormtrooper??

    I did white with black seats and love it. It is a stormtrooper. "Finn," in fact. White on the outside, black on the inside.

    Black paint or Midnight gray?

    definitely blue.

    Sun Visor broke - lost TPS & FM

    It wasn't until I saw you had a flat tire did I realize what TPS meant. I've always been concerned about those sun visors. They don't move fluidly, and I always feel that I'm putting strange pressure on them when I'm swinging them. Like an old man's shoulder that doesn't swing quite like it...

    Annoying Vibration, Passenger Door... I think

    Sounds like we have the same vibration / rattle. Mine has gotten progressively worse over 2+ months to where it now happens at nearly all speeds and at all times except for newly surfaced freeways. It was easily identified as being from within the speaker because a friend put pressure on the...

    Model X Road Trip Poll

    Good ole Country Cousins, I bet?

    Things you didn't know about your Model X

    I too am abnormally concerned about how my driving / braking appears to those behind me. I always have been, even before the Model X. I've now been driving the X for about 3 weeks. It took about a day to remember it was going to regen, and not clumsily come to a stop 50 feet short of a stop...

    Will it ever be possible to order a MX in this config?

    With a baby on the way, you may want to rethink the multi-pattern seats. Nothing will be easier to keep clean than black leather. And it is ~really~ comfortable. Many people claim the multi pattern seats are a great choice, but many others claim they do get dirty easier, as any kind of mess...

    In-car Trip Planner vs EV Trip Planner

    This sounds perfectly appropriate for my trip. I wanted to make it from one supercharger back to the same supercharger. Hmm. I thought TMC was the manual. ;) In all seriousness, I have read the manual. However, there are so many new things that I'm trying to learn about that it's a bit...

    In-car Trip Planner vs EV Trip Planner

    Appreciate the tip! I am anxious to try this. Odd that they didn't make the option more obvious. Edit: I got excited enough to go out and have a driveway moment and try this feature. i followed your directions exactly. When I click at the bottom of the turn log, the same window appears as...

    Model X needed for photo shoot in Florida

    You could also PM him and answer his question instead of making him PM you.

    In-car Trip Planner vs EV Trip Planner

    I am a big fan of the trip planner in the car. Around here where it is very hilly, it accounts for large elevation changes very well. I just did a day trip to Seattle. 180 miles one way, 360 round trip. The only super charger was (exactly) halfway between both cities. I didn't have any...

    For the unlucky ones with a fixed spoiler

    The spoiler has a lot of inferred benefits, but at the end of the day, just like the FWDs, it's more about style. Both of these moving parts are liabilities down the line. My spoiler is fixed, but I'm still stuck with those beautiful, magnificent, stupid, lumbering doors. :/

    Model X air suspension position issue.... Does this look right?

    It doesn't look right, but it is. I just went out to the driveway to confirm my recent delivery looks the exact same. The arm is within 1/2 inch of the tire. Therefore it appears to be perfectly normal, so worry not. It's likely just its park position.

    Took delivery of VIN 24xx P90DL in Fremont on 2016/05/23

    This is a big giant relief. I'm glad to hear your car was built quite a while ago. My X is days away from being released for delivery from the SC (we will see), and as I read your post I was thinking, "wow, they still haven't solved the alignment issues." I am having bad dreams about the...

    Damaged by FWD on the first day...

    There is no reason that the car should allow you to drive with the doors open. With only 3,000 cars shipped, and 4 reported similar situations, it should be clear by now that people are making this mistake. Can you argue that it's incredibly reckless behavior? Yeah. But it is happening, and...

    Quality feedback for Model Xs delivered after April

    You two started this thread, and even asked each other to help keep it going. Now you seem to be sticking your fingers in your ears singing "la la la la la" when some posts come online with some real issues. Safety IS important. But so is a well constructed car. We all love Tesla, but they...

    Crunch! Falcon Wing Doors fail to sense obstacle

    I hate being a Nervous Nellie, but as I impatiently await my X, I lose the enchantment every time I see people post close ups of the seams. I know the roof isn't usually visible, but what is with that fit-and-finish? Looks like someone used a jigsaw to cut those door lines along the roof. :(

    Crunch! Falcon Wing Doors fail to sense obstacle

    I have a Model X coming soon (vin 48xx). I have always thought the doors were silly. A needless extravagance. My wife is worried she will be embarrassed using them, especially in our inner-city neighborhood. I can not tell you how much my mild discontent for these doors has turned into full...

    If we can stay above yesterday's intraday low of $246, I believe we may have some short term support. Might be good for end of week options play. Watch it closely.

    Midnight Silver (with changes) pics

    How did you get the red calipers with the 20" wheels? Or are those part of a different package?

    Double vision (ghosting) at night through windshield?

    I have a 2012 Prius. I took it out last night to see if the problem existed. Sure enough, just like the pictures above, stop lights and other sharp lights created a perfect pattern of triple off in the distance. I had never noticed. Furthermore, my wife, who has perfect vision, saw it too and...

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2016

    I agree. The majority of people trading options lose. The best way to invest in the company is to buy and hold the stock. But, there are people who speculatively trade options successfully. It takes a ton of discipline. And you can not expect every trade to win. People on the forums tend...

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2016

    I couldn't disagree more. Buy and hold the stock. Trade the options. If you want to lower your risk on options, buy with a longer expiration date - like 12 months out. Combine that with options that are deeper in the money and you can lower your risk and still have some additional leverage...

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2016

    Doom and gloom? Isn't this the thread about short term stock movements? If you are going to trade this stock, you need to be ready for it to retrace before going to new highs. You need to be ready for anything. That is healthy and normal. I certainly won't admonish any long term bulls...

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2016

    I am a long term bull. It is my opinion that we have had an amazing, euphoric recovery from a massive (buying opportunity!) dip caused by a lot of fear and uncertainty around the company. Much of this uncertainty has been resolved, and is reflected in our amazing run up that we've been gifted...

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2016

    I'm enthusiastic with you. However, the market is a battle of bulls versus bears. It often follows patterns based in psychology. Yes, it often breaks those rules. But it is uncanny how, when one looks back, it follows them. We are facing a major battle line in the 280 range. A battle line...

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2016

    This is the short term thread, but I want to make my case for long(er) term patience. I do not believe it is likely that we will significantly break through previous all-time highs. In fact, it wouldn't be healthy for the stock to fly past 280(ish) without a lengthy breather. We've enjoyed a...

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2016

    There doesn't need to be news. This was the psychological battle line that was being fought at viciously for two hours. The shorts finally gave in and the longs poured across the line. The next line will likely be yesterday's high of approximately $252.

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2016

    Have you ever seen a better "textbook example" of a daily breakout above a previous close? I think it's safe to say that the crowds are clearly looking past the miss in deliveries... At least for now!

    How many Model X owners here have also placed order for the Model 3?

    I have a Model X due within a few weeks. I have a lot of anxiety about it, although I think I am going to love it. I ordered two Model 3s. If, after a few years, the X isn't doing it for us, I could imagine selling it and configuring one of the 3s to be high end. I have no needs that stop me...

    Main Model X page 70D option missing

    the Model X configurator has always had a 5-seat option and a 70D option as far as I know. This does not seem likely to be an accidental reversion. Besides, where's the excitement in that possibility?

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

    I feel like I'm on Oprah, everyone is getting VINs. Received mine as well. 48xx in Portland. I'm still assuming late summer, can't get my hopes up. 90D, 6-seat, no premium. I was US reservation #20,xxx (Aug 2015) so I'm thinking either a very small percentage are confirming orders. First I...
