    Paint Protection Film Raleigh,NC

    +1 for TVP. They did an amazing job on my X. They've done a ton of model 3's.

    Tire Life/Maintenance

    I have the 20" stock contisilents. My front tires are due to be replaced but they lasted almost 36k miles. The back tires got replaced about 20k miles ago due to a screw in the sidewall but they are at like 6/32 after 16k miles. This is on a 90D.

    Poll: Is your Service Center Overwhelmed?

    Raleigh, NC SC is fast and good. I've never had to wait more than a few days for an appointment and they've been able to fix everything same day.

    Model X Winter Experience

    I don't see it mentioned what tires you have? Do you have the 22" performance tires or the 20" all-seasons?

    Electrician in Raleigh/Cary for 240v outlet?

    I paid $1200 for the run and whole house surge protector. That being said it was that much because the panel in my garage was too full to put in an 50 amp circuit and they had to run it from the service drop and it was almost 200 feet under the house (of course the service is on the complete...

    My MX in car accident while in transit by Tesla rep after repair

    She said she had a bad experience once so insisted to use my insurance. Not much you can do in that situation I mean my kid did the damage to her car so I was on the hook. There was also no police report in my situation too. This was in Milpitas, CA when I still lived there by the way so...

    My MX in car accident while in transit by Tesla rep after repair

    As others have stated it will be on the carfax for sure. I had an insurance claim where my son opened up the door and scratched a person's car. She refused to take my money for it and insisted to use my insurance. The total was like $500 in damages total (it was considered property damage so...

    Is Model X's efficiency really this bad?

    I did pretty much that exact same trip in August of last year. Raleigh to Tampa and back. The car was 3 days old at the time and my average consumption was around 340wh/mi. This is on a X90D with 20" stock wheels. I had myself and the 2 kids (young adults really) in the car with me and it was...

    I'll be in the knoxville area also for the eclipse. Looking at Marysville or somewhere similar to view the eclipse.

    Supercharger - Charleston, WV

    Awesome! This will make my trips from Raleigh to Michigan SO much easier! Now it can be done in a single day instead of 2.

    Triangle area (NC) detailers & aftermarket audio

    If you're looking for a wrap TVP Auto is the place to go. The tesla store in Raleigh also recommends them. I used them to wrap the front end of my X and you can't even tell that it is wrapped they did such a phenomenal job.

    Low Battery Supercharging - 0 Kw and 90 minute charge time

    I charged on a trip over Thanksgiving week in Strathsburg, PA at 2:30am and it was ~9 degrees F. I arrived at 3% battery and the charge took almost 2 hours to get us to the next stop. It was originally supposed to be a 1 hour stop. I think it was a temperature issue because before we could...

    MX Mileage?

    8,300 since August 9th. Have two trips scheduled also of around 2k miles each so by the new year I will be pushing 12-13k. I just can't stop driving this car :)

    Poor Heating and AC Performance

    I would take it in to the SC. I've had my X in Florida this past August when it was 100+ degrees and the AC was fine and kept up pretty good. It was a little warm up around the top of the windshield (I left the sunshade at home). Also I've blasted the heater when we froze at the state fair...

    What is the Wh/mile number to achieve Rated Range on an X?

    My 90D over 7000 miles my lifetime is 340 Wh/mile. When we go on long road trips I tend to get better. We did a 600 mile road trip to the mountains and back and my average for that whole trip was 318 over the 600 miles. This is with a 90D with 20" tires. I usually do 65-70 with autopilot on...

    Supercharger - Charleston, WV

    That would be awesome! We're traveling from Raleigh to Michigan on 12/21 so I hope it is done. Would save me over 250 miles of detour.

    Windshield Wiper Visibility Issues

    I drove my X through blinding rain in Hurricane Matthew this past weekend without any issues other than it raining so hard I couldn't see the end of the hood at some times, but that's hardly the fault of the wipers! I do agree though that the wipers do seem rather cheap and I will probably end...

    Just some thing I have noticed any one else

    Would be better off to have L2 chargers or HPWCs at the destinations. Since I'm going to be there all day anyway 110 might even be enough to get me back to the supercharger.

    Water intrusion after rain

    It was pouring rain here in NC and my 13yo son got in the car and closed the passenger side FWD and he got showered with the rain collected in the runoffs last week. Since I was picking him up at school after PE, he needed one anyway, but the car wasn't exactly the location of choice :). I'm...

    Acceleration Shudder

    I've just passed over 4000 miles over the past 6 weeks of ownership and I've started noticing this. I also suspect though that I might be slightly out of alignment. I'm adding it to the list of things I'm going to get my SC to look at when I take the car in next (all things are very minor...

    Model X Roadtrip Woes

    We did an almost 2000 mile trip from NC to Tampa, FL, and back. (Did almost 500 miles of city driving while in Tampa as well). Temps were triple digit or just under the whole way and climate control was kept at 72 with 3 people and all our gear in the car (kids are teenagers and as big as...

    Does the model X make your passengers car sick?

    Both of my kids used to get carsick in our Chevy Equinox on our road trips when using electronics. Last year when we drove to Tampa they could only stream videos for about 30 minutes before getting queasy. We just completed the same trip in our X and they were able to use electronics the...

    West Virginia Superchargers (location speculation, discussion)

    Very interested in this thread. While I don't live there if you need phone calls or emails to people to gauge interest sign me up. Having a Charleston SC would greatly simplify my trips to Michigan from Raleigh.

    Autopilot issue when car in front changes lanes

    Hello All, I've had my X for about 2.5 weeks now and have put about 2.5k miles on it with about 2000 of them being with AP. I've noticed that the following happens: I've got AP set to on and there's a slower car in front of me so I'm going less than the maximum set speed The slower car moves...

    What car do you currently drive while waiting for the Model X?

    2013 Chevy Equinox with 60k miles on it. To say it's going to be a step up is quite an understatement.

    Model X August Deliveries

    Looks like I'm going to need to slide into this thread from the July one. Confirmed on 4/20 and have been told that my car is slated for production last week of July (guaranteed this time so they say). Then who knows how long to ship it cross country to NC for delivery. If it wasn't for the...

    Model X July Deliveries

    Mine was a reservation but only about a month before the design studio opened up. I got VIN 6744 but I'm still not in production yet. Since I found out that Alliant can approve me basically same day I'm going to wait until they have it to apply at this point.

    Model X July Deliveries

    I confirmed on 4/20. 90D 6-seat with everything but premium sound. Was told 6/15 initially but now am being told "late July". So we'll see. My DS already told me to get my financing in order and my quote as since expired so they will have to run my credit again. Not super happy about that...

    West Virginia Superchargers

    I would love to see one in Charleston, WV. We drive a couple of times a year Raleigh -> Michigan and that is just where we need one to make it not take an extra 200 miles.

    Model X July Deliveries

    My 90D VIN 67xx which confirmed mid April will probably end up being in July. My DS said mid/end of June so I'm assuming that means July in Tesla Time.

    Negative ICEing interaction

    There are jerks everywhere not just around ICE/EV discussions. People who park in the handicap spot without a tag are another example. Just shake your head and move on.

    90D vs 75D

    Here's my take on the 75D versus the 90D. Keep in mind that my Model X will be my first EV and I don't own it yet (my order will confirm on Wednesday). You should put in the biggest battery you can afford because it gives you options. Today your needs might be perfectly met by a 75D and...
