    21" Arachnids in silver, were available only through the Tesla referral program. Never mounted and still brand new with the rear Michelin tires. I had my 21" on my model S so didn't need to install these. I did take the two fronts as they fit my tires so only the rear tires are available. I...

    Extended Service Agreement for a used car?

    I don't think you can get extended warranty if the car belongs to anyone but the original owner. In fact I'm pretty sure of that as I remember having the original owner of my S buy it for me the day he sold the car to me. I have a 2013 S 85 with 53k miles. In the past 3k miles (after initial...

    Model X Ride Quality

    Reason why the x rides hard is because it's built for performance so you won't get the lexus/Cadillac type feel to it. If you want a softer ride, put the suspension on high (NOT very high) and that is the softest ride. Keep in mind after going faster the suspension will naturally lower so...

    Ultra White Seats

    I believe all seats are perforated to retain consistency through cabin. Don't know about ventilation as I don't have it. Do you have kids? Will they respect the seats? The anti strain properties are very good. I've had a ballpen mark come off of it but creases over time show as my seats...

    Rear Tire Wear on XP90D

    If you're concerned about tire wear, you can be conscientious about ride height. Putting the x on the "high" setting will save the most tire wear due to having the most positive camber. It will also give you the most plush ride (especially over imperfections on the road) vs all other settings...

    Rear Tire Wear on XP90D

    Rims are not the same size and neither are the tires. Rims in front are 9" with a 35mm offset and the rears are 10" with a 40mm offset for both the 22" and the 20" setups. You can change the rears to 9" and be able to rotate if you want but will lose some traction capabilities which is of...

    Consumer Reports: Model X - Least Reliable Car?

    The model x is a very technocentric SUV built from the ground up by a small(Ish) American car company who has never made an SUV which is far different than any other SUV in the market. This is also the first year they have done this and will need more time to perfect it. Current owners are...

    V8.0 rant

    Drove 300 miles yesterday. I thought AP was fine compared to last and no real discernible difference except I had to put my hand on the wheel much more. The air recirculate is indeed mixed in with outside air. Very frustrating as it never happened Tommy before as well. I don't want to fill the...

    Model X Feature Request

    Please allow the functionality of the "fang" fog lights. The ones that only illuminate at night even on the ones without the fog light option. It adds so much character especially for a large front end. It only turns on at night and would be amazing if it turns on like the ones on the parking...

    X P100d vs S P100d

    I have the S and the X. I also have a model 3 reservation for when the S retires. I'm just debating (wishful thinking really) between the p100d S vs X and which to choose if one were to get it. I wonder if the model 3 performance will be a p100d battery? With that shorter wheelbase it would...

    X P100d vs S P100d

    Well the x is certainly a better vehicle for me. I prefer it to my s any day of the week but don't know if the extra performance of the s would outweigh the X. When you think sub 3 second 0-60 times, no one really expects it to be a 7 seater SUV and I'm wondering if there are circumstances...

    X P100d vs S P100d

    . Imagine being in the back of the 7 Remember you already have both on a non-performance models. It's also not really an x5/m3 comparison as the performance are really close on the Teslas. This is an extra vehicle just to have. Though this is not a serious consideration and just couldn't...

    X P100d vs S P100d

    assume you have both an X and an S which are non p and you were offered a P100d, which would you choose? The car analogy would normally reign supreme due to performance characteristics but assuming it doesn't get to the racetrack and mainly street. Would the unprecedented revolutionary...

    Anyone renting on Turo?

    $85 a day for 300 miles with Turo taking 25-30%? Wow that is a crazy deal but you are definitely negative with depreciation due to mileage. I had a drive unit replacement on my s @ 30k miles. When this car goes out of warranty, it will bite you back if you haven't made enough $. It may pay the...

    Invest is such a broad term and cannot be used in this sentence either. Don't mean to poke at you and enjoy this discussion (at the risk of digressing) but this doesn't ring true IMHO. If you own a house with 80% equity and at our current low rates, i don't just keep paying it down, I'd...

    OP is faced with the conundrum of borrowing money for the Model X vs investing his own money and not money he borrowed. In a literal sense he is being suggested to borrow $ for his vehicle. If he borrowed money to invest it then I suspect rates would be through the roof. That may ring true for...

    In the case of a forum, it's ideal to put disclaimers out there so you are not ethically held liable for misinformation and wrong financial advice.

    You know both of you don't really have a fundamental disagreement. Just a placement of disclaimer as you both agree @SageBrush & @deonb that investment carries risk. Be aware that if one were to invest and lose part or the whole amount and be inherently stuck with the X payments so don't put...

    Misinformation. Turo only insures the vehicle up to 75k. The rest of the $ is for bodily injury, property damage etc. Teslas may be an exception but they do NOT cover cars up to $1,000,000. Renters beat up cars. One mistake like putting it through a drive in carwash can hurt the car. Please be...

    100k on Tesla stock? As much as I love Tesla, you are advising someone to expose themselves to a tremendous amount of risk especially when we're talking about 25% of net worth. Only your financial advisor can recommend what to do but it's often a good idea to diversify and consider your...

    There are multiple examples but I'll provide one. Put that money in a time savings account overseas (such as Mongolia or Johannesburg) where the interest rate is 6-7% in $ or local currency at 20%. Problem is finding a person to invest it there. That is guaranteed by their form of federal...

    My Model X 20" for your 22" plus cash

    I am not picky as to what color and style. Looking for the turbine 22". Also considering using the 21" from the s. I have the 20" tesla stock wheels. They are 9" wide in front and 10" wide on the rear so it is staggered as all model X's are.

    Rear Tire Wear on XP90D

    That is absolutely the reason why the inside of the tire are worn down. As Goneskiian mentioned, when the vehicle is in a lowered setting (low or very low) the tires tilt inward causing negative camber. This is good for handling, cornering, range, lower center of gravity, appearance at the cost...
