    Refreshed Model X - No Air Suspension?

    I’m digging most of the X refresh (no judgment on yoke steering til I try it). And with a 2017 Model X I’m certainly in the target market for an upgrade in the next few years. But I’ve searched Tesla.com and all the articles on the S and X refresh...and I can’t find any reference to air...

    “Deep Rain” Windshield Wipers - Seattle Storm Edition

    We’ve had quite a storm in Seattle so I’m interested in hearing what other Seattle-area X drivers think, especially since I think our wipers and windshield give us unique experience compared to S and 3 drivers. I used to be moderately displeased that the wipers didn’t work well with our very...

    Bothell Fred Meyer goes Electrify America

    I had hoped with the Lynnwood (and I believe other) Fred Meyer installation of Tesla Superchargers that we’d see other locations get the same. Fred Meyer has long hours, usually has other stores in the same center, and is just generally a good partnership in my mind. I was at the Bothell Fred...

    PW Only Charges from Solar?

    Hi, all. I had a Powerwall and Solar install two weeks ago. It passed inspection last Tuesday (right after Labor Day) - yeah! The utility hasn’t been out to install the second meter yet, so the solar is off. But we happened to have a large lightning storm in Seattle last weekend and I...

    New HVAC Controls in 8.4

    LOVE this change! Now all the controls are one screen and it won’t require multiple clicks to complete frequent actions (like turning on the steering wheel heater). No “cool” features like Enhanced Summon, but great to see the X continue to improve over time. :)

    Full Self Driving Removed - Not Even “Off Menu”

    The option to buy FSD is gone, even for existing owners where it used to appear on the Manage page for your car. Guess Only: I think Tesla will announce today that HW3 is inside new cars being manufactured now and that the option to purchase will now cost more than the previous $5,000...

    Model 3 Accident at NE 70th on 405N

    I was driving home from Bellevue around 2 pm today and saw a Subaru with the left side smashed in just sitting by itself in the left lane. Thought it was weird a tow truck or another car wasn’t anywhere to be seen. But when coming down the hill I saw the second car a quarter mile further - and...

    Navigate on Autopilot Messages

    I’ve been noticing new messages since Navigate on Autopilot was released. I don’t think Tesla cataloged them all and I think they should have. This is kind of thing that should be in release notes to prep drivers for various situations. I also think many of them need an audio alert, maybe even...

    Best V9 Features ONLY for HW 2.0 and 2.5

    Moderator note (bmah): Changed the title of this thread to reflect reality. The initial post in this thread was based on being given some not-completely-accurate information, see several posts down. What a clusterf***. According to electrek, the really key feature of V9 - the on-ramp to...

    V9 - New Blind Spot Indicator Proposal

    Since V9 will change the UI anyway, I thought about how the binnacle could do a better job flashing blind spot indicators to drivers (especially those of us who have EAP only and not FSD). I tweeted Elon my detailed, painstaking mockup which I attach here and announce is patent pending...

    Frequency of OTA Updates

    I’m curious why I see so many posts about delays or timing of OTA updates (obviously bundled around when a new feature comes out, like rain sensing wipers or Ho Ho Ho mode). I’ve had my X since June and track my firmware on Ev-fw.com and as of getting the rain sensing wipers an hour ago, I’ve...

    Supercharger - Lynnwood WA

    I think the Lynnwood supercharger is going in at the Alderwood mall. Don't have much to base this on but this pic I had my wife snap as we were exiting near the recently closed Sears location. Sorry it's not great we were pulling out the driveway and in motion. But I think they are digging...

    Auto steer Limits and Easter Egg Menu w/17.18.50

    I've got a brand new X (delivered yesterday) with what I think is the most recent firmware. I'm on: 8.1 with 17.18.50. But I've noticed two big limitations: 1) Autosteer is still limited to 35 mph on non-highways. I thought that ended in late April. Obviosly I didn't have Autosteer at all for...

    Six Seater with Center Console - Pics!

    Got it today. It's a beauty. One seal issue on driver side window, but otherwise looking good!!! I took some pics and did some measurements to help others. I really like the center console so far! It's a little hard to see but the first pic with the tape measure is how much room exists...

    Your Experience with Accuracy of Delivery Date

    Hi, all. I was hoping for some help in planning costs for a new Tesla. All things equal (eg, assuming they don't close the factory for some kind of HW3!) is the delivery date you selected when you actually took delivery of your X? Or did Tesla miss the requested timeframe? Thanks for...

    My Dream: 60, 80, and 100

    Like everyone, I'm waiting for the big announcements that are upcoming (100D, software V8.0 with Autopilot enhancements, and Model 3 part two). But. I really hope the battery announcement changes the game in a big way. I hope Tesla changes their configuration options to three: a 100D, a 60D...

    60D or 75D Acceleration Video?

    Hi, all. We test drove a 90D X and loved it (of course!), but it may be a hit too much a leap financially. I was considering a 75D or a 60D that we might later upgrade, but for the life of me I can't find a video of one accelerating to 60mph. I realize he difference is only from 4.8 to 6...
