    Blog Audi Says E-Tron GT Will Outsprint Tesla Model S P100D

    it might catch fire and blow up when it hits 60...: https://electrek.co/2019/06/10/audi-recalls-e-tron-electric-suv-leaking-battery-pack/#more-94774 all joking aside though, thanks to Like Tesla, RUMORS say that the refresh will have greater than 100kWh battery and 3 motors...so uh, by the time...

    Supercharger - Polaris, OH

    if you're charging at home, this won't even really be necessary since you're so close to work right? i guess it will be good if you're coming back from a road trip?

    “A Tesla! It’s a f*****g Tesla!”

    yeah, 0.11/kwh here in ohio which is nice. :) ($10-$20/month depending on weather)

    i'm columbus ohio and they're everywhere, i guess i was trying to indicate a little further est and not so much big city :)

    Model X consumption on 22inch versus 20inch, not all that bad.

    thankfully the driver was a "local" and must have known the hotspots or 11pm was too late for the cops? these guys were crazy and when we popped over to Italy we drove 230KMH in our rental car and were blasting through the average speed camera's. each time we passed a camera they'd say...

    Model X consumption on 22inch versus 20inch, not all that bad.

    this was actually not in a tesla, but i was just trying to find an example of 60+ minutes of sustained high speed in the uk. these were evening runs so traffic was lighter.

    Model X consumption on 22inch versus 20inch, not all that bad.

    That's the difference then...we go for 100 miles or more with the occasional left lane hog (right lane for you :) ) which may slow me down 10 MPH, but relatively event free... when i drove from Heathrow to chippenham we went 80-100 mph and then 60-80 the last few miles on the back roads.

    Supercharger - Bismarck, ND

    i have farmer family in Pembina & Neche ND who scoff at the idea of a Tesla and claim it would never work for them. and to a certain extent it's true without the SC near them. i just can't wait to one day drive straight to Pembina and visit them. :)

    Model X consumption on 22inch versus 20inch, not all that bad.

    i've seen 15+% decrease a 80 MPH vs 75 MPH on a 186 mile virtually straight west stretch of I-70 from Columbus OH (columbus airport) to Indianapolis IN (Indy supercharger south side of indy) 50+ miles drive, what speeds did you maintain for those trips?

    My 2016 P90D vs 2018 75D loaner.

    just my opinion here... :) i have a 2016 6600 VIN range P90D and it's been not the most reliable and with the degradation the 90D (85.8 total kWh & 81.8 usable kWh) packs you will really only be getting the acceleration and cooled seats rather than more range of the 75D (75 total kWh 72.4 kWh...

    Blog Audi Says E-Tron GT Will Outsprint Tesla Model S P100D

    i had a local audi sales manager offer me the same thing, but then his general manager hijacked the emails and told the guy to come talk to him offline....it's been 2.5 months since that email without a single word. LOL! i should definitely give him a call though. *EDIT I just spoke with Audi...

    Tesla Model X versus 2019 Jaguar I-Pace

    they are horrific and borderline not useable unless possibly on a long straights stretch? the nagging is also a PITA

    Model X consumption on 22inch versus 20inch, not all that bad.

    i have 22's from the factory...they're horrible on range. but seeing as your in atlanta i suppose it'd be tough testing highway speeds due to sitting in the 6 lane parking lot that goes through atlanta?

    New maintenance program changes

    never did any service on my tesla...and it was leased. I specifically asked my service guy if i needed to worry about it and he said no. :)

    Tesla Model X versus 2019 Jaguar I-Pace

    i did an overnight test drive in the I-Pace...not the best bang for your buck and the only thing comparable to the Model X is the price. also the sales staff...LOL!

    Anyone buy a new inventory MX?

    my p90d was almost a year old and had a little over 1100 miles on it. i couldn't pick the car up for almost a month after i put down the deposit, (even though it was local), because it needed rims to be fixed up, 2 chairs replaced due to the insane amount of wear from the showroom and myriads...

    How do I get ahold of Elon? I just had ridiculous roadside experience!

    ultimately it was to the towing companies fault and tesla's fault at the same time. Tesla should have arranged another truck because of the screw-up on the first tow company. (which did end up happening, thankfully) the last time tesla tried to get me a tow truck it didn't come for 12 hours...

    Piece of tape solved my problem!

    oh, i'm not lecturing...i've had all the things done that you've mentioned plus replaced seats, center roof section, etc. if i had the time i would tear apart the car and add 100+ pounds of asphalt insulation behind every body panel and try to see if i could obtain double-pane glass for all the...

    Piece of tape solved my problem!

    perhaps a tad extreme? go to the lexus forums for the $100k-$120K LS460L-LS600HL and check out the "wind noise" issue they have all had as well... it all comes down to a small triangle of plastic smaller than a dollar bill that needed to be re-designed, etc... (I know this because I had one)

    Does anybody regret buying Model X for your main car?

    i was in the same boat, good ole ohio boy with a model x as the only car...now though? car has been sitting for 3 months waiting for part #: 1027831-00-E which tesla has pushed back the eta on 3 times...that's my biggest regret. i love the car, but when minor accidents occur, (slid into a curb...

    Any idea when this massive price drop will take effect for the used car market?

    at the end of the day we should have seen this coming. i mean we owners knowing went into a tesla knowing that we were the first "pioneers" of this fantastic product. it's like when people used to pay $10k for the first wide-screen OLED screen that can be had for less than $1000 now. :)
  33. Peteybabes

    Any idea when this massive price drop will take effect for the used car market?

    i'm with @DCGOO that it will have an immediate effect...sux, but if you think about it, it's a great sign for the dropping costs of EV's and put's tesla at an even more competitive spot in the marketplace. i'd be pooping my pants if i was Audi, Jaguar or Porsche right now...

    Help! Windshield cracked

    darn...same situation for me. i had a rock hit and a crack about the size of a dollar bill and safelite "filled it" with epoxy. then when it got cold it went straight across the whole windshield. unlike you though, tesla gave me a price of about $900 for the windshield and $400 labor for a...

    Falcon doors and rear door don t stop

    i have had to have my entire roof section replaced due to malfunctioning FWD's...like the whole center replaced... PITA
  38. Peteybabes

    Suggestion to Elon Musk: Require override to move Model X when FWD is open.

    still can override the override. :) when i drove in the 4th of july parade i put the doors up and them used a screwdriver to flip the latch into thinking the door was closed and drove off with no beeps, etc.

    Real World Mileage Question

    i've done 8 miles and at that time my car shut off hvac, and reduced power big time. i got to 55mph max speed and got off the exit ramp and could barely creep forward but managed to get up to around 30mph to go the last 1/4 mile to the charger where the car trickle charged for about 10 minutes...

    Anybody leave their X parked outdoors? How does it hold up?

    i've let mine sit outside for 2 years...no difference to anything. wash it regularly, the only issues are rock chips.

    Looking at a 2016 P90 w/ High Fidelity Sound. They killed that option?

    Looking at a 2016 P90 w/ High Fidelity Sound. They killed that option?

    um in my case yes, it's a mistake. buy as new as you can afford as more bugs will have been sorted out and you may even get newer hardware for a better eventual self drive experience. my car is a serial # just before 7000 and i've had door motors replaced, latches replaced, trim fixed, FWD...

    Model X Tally

    I had a 75D built and was getting ready to pull the trigger when a salesperson called me up and said: "hey i have this demo P90D X over here that's been discounted $27k+" The 75D I had built online had a lease of around $1200-$1250 if i remember correctly, but this Model X had it's lease...
