    Anybody still waiting for sunshade?

    Took delivery May 2016. Got email in June said Sunshade is being sent out but that was the end of it. Inquired with Tesla support several times, every time they said its still in the process of being sent out. Just wondering if anyone still waiting as well.

    snow chains for model X, asap?

    The official chain has been out of stock for a while and no service center seems to be carrying it. This is what I got as an inexpensive backup for the upcoming trip: sz441 super z-6 Did a test fit a few days ago and it seems to fit fine with plenty of clearance in the back.

    Taking a road trip to Yosemite this weekend

    If you can actually find the $500 official chain. I call around nearby Tesla stores and they are all out of stock with no ETA. After some research, I got this as backup. sz441 super z-6 For one I pray that I never need to use it. It is said that highway patrol will turn people away if it...

    Degredation of battery?

    I have been using Testlafi data logger for a while and have found that in order to achieve 100% efficiency (miles driven equal to rated miles reduced), you have to be driving at 317 Wh/mi efficiency as indicated by the trip meter. I can achieve that when using autopilot on freeway at 70miles...

    X: What's your 90%?

    I had the same observation a while back when I started taking logs on the consumption for several days. My conclusion is that the trip meter grossly understates the energy consumption (something like 80%). I even start to suspect that the trip meter is only measuring the drive train energy...

    Seat Control Wishlist

    +1!!! Remembering the 2nd row seat position when using the 3rd row access is on top of my wish list. The fact that the car remembers so many settings but not including this one is really puzzling to me.

    A/C and Ventilated Seats

    The Model X seats are ventilated, not AC cooled. You can verify the ventilation using a tissue on both seat surface and seat back as well. There is a small suction force and its gone when turned off. I do think that the fan is a bit loud when turned on at 3 and its annoying. They could have...

    Gaps on interior falcon wing door panels

    I believe its the front side with no weatherstripping that has the gap. You can stick your finger into the gap at the corner. It looks to me more like a design error where the contour of the plastic panel does not match the metal panel.

    My Journey to ordering a Model X

    Have you tried powerline based range extender model I mentioned? While still called range extender, its essentially a "connected" wifi access point. I tried traditional range extender before and did not have good result. From somewhere I read, the wifi antenna is inside the right rear view...

    My Journey to ordering a Model X

    Agreed. Often times when I feel Autopilot getting too close to big rig when passing, I look at the dash and its showing the car at the center. However, if Autopilot is meant to replicate human driving habits, it should program the "center" to be just slightly away from the logical center while...

    My Journey to ordering a Model X

    For Wifi signal get a range extender. I got the TP-LINK AV500 Wi-Fi Range Extender, Powerline Edition, TL-WPA4220KIT and plugged in at the garage and its 5 bar signal instantly. Its pretty much a necessity if you plan to use Summon from the driveway a lot.

    Summon out fails since new software update

    Anybody has experience to request downgrading the software back to a certain version? I use Summon feature daily and its been painful to having this problem everyday. I'm pretty sure this new version changed the threshold on the sensors where the car detects obstacle. When I manually pull the...

    Summon out fails since new software update

    How come your software is 2.24.102? Mine is 2.24.86 and I do not have any pending software updates. Does Tesla release different versions in batches?

    Summon out fails since new software update

    So after you switching back the settings, it still works for you as before? In my case, the car is saying it detected obstacle and refuses to move where it was working perfectly fine before the update.

    Summon out fails since new software update

    I have a problem on Summon since the new software update just days ago. It used to be the case that I have trouble Summon going in sometimes if the car is not aligned to the exact angle. But Summon backing out was never a problem. However, since the last software update several days ago, Summon...

    summon and auto close garage door

    I think the sensor will tell the car if the garage is open or closed. When needed, it will issue homelink command if it senses opposite of what it needs. From my experience, Summon will not issue Homelink command if it fails in the middle for any reason, preventing the door to close on itself.

    Driver Assistance Feature

    I can tell you that Lane departure Warning definitely works. The steering wheel vibrates when you go over the lane marking without turning signal. Its starting to correct my habit of changing lanes on highway without turning signal:) Never seen the side collision warning occurring. For the...

    Noisy frunk liftgate?

    Hello. My frunk liftgate seems to make pretty loud noise when opens and closes. The noise is coming from the air cylinder. If you hold the hood up and down a few times, the squeaking air noise gets pretty loud (above the typical light hissing sound you would expect). Can anybody try this and see...

    Thoughts and concerns on our new MX

    Yes indeed. I found all my favorite stations in Tune in:) I'm also happy to report that the power consumption has been much better. The latest reading at 325Wh/mile for the last 30 miles. So I think the EPA stated range should be attainable. Although the weather here in SoCal is very mind the...

    Is it just me or..

    Thoughts and concerns on our new MX

    I have always used the regular drive mode on the RAV4 EV and then use the brake pedal to regulate the amount of regen. Press light to increase regen and press hard to brake. The RAV is designed to simulate more or less regular car driving. But now I'm trying to unlearn that and adapt to the...

    Thoughts and concerns on our new MX

    One more question for everyone. Does the brake light comes on when you feather the accelerator pedal? I cannot tell while I'm driving it. I want to make sure that when Tesla is slowing more than the "normal coasting", the brake light should come on to warn drivers behind me.

    Thoughts and concerns on our new MX

    Today I also had a close call. I accidentally opened the rear hatch while the car is still in the garage. It was that close that I stopped the hatch before it hit the top of the garage door. I guess there is no sensor at all for the rear hatch? Tesla really should put a big warning sign and...

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

    Thanks for the info! My car was deliver with firmware 2.17.65 and that's the behavior. I sure hope a new firmware update can improve this.

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

    Hello there. I have an issue with the 3rd row access and I wonder if anyone has a tip for me. My kids sit in the 2nd row and they move the seats all the way forward to give the 3rd row maximum space. After using the 3rd row access to get into 3rd row, the 2nd row seats does not remember the...

    New to the forum here. I'm taking delivery of MX soon. Just trying to get the charging solution setup first. Whats up with HPWC not available for purchase on Tesla website?
