    Trunk is now 5 inches longer than at the initial reveal.

    Over on Reddit, user Autolycus25 made a composite image of the newly released Body-In-White and an oder image shown on Tesla's reservation page. Most of the core structural features line up. However, the trunk appears to be approximately 5" longer.

    Xfinity WiFi

    In my experience, the WiFi reception on the X requires a strong signal to connect. If I park more than a car's length (20 ft / 6 m) away from the base station, my X won't bother connecting to the WiFi. Even when connected to WiFi, logs on my home network show that my X will choose to download...

    Blackvue 2-Ch Dashcam Install on Model X

    For anyone wondering, David77's Model X APv1 mount costs just under $60 USD shipped to the states via the edr-auto.fr website. I never did find it on Amazon.com or Amazon.fr. I'm going to give it a try as I like the idea of having it tucked up closer to the mirror (less visible).

    Bought a 100D with ventilated seats! I DID IT! WOOO WOOOOOOOO!

    Don't forget that OP also got seats that have been discontinued due to durability issues.

    Very Low = Tire Wear

    Sure. The option for automatically changing to "Low" based on location/speed needs to be set to 'never'. Then you can select the ride hight and it will stay at, in this case, Very Low.

    X windshield insurance claim

    Progressive; max coverage, a $500 deductible, 10-year loyalty discount, and I've had to make a few hit and run claims. $1,100 per year for a Model X $1,400 per year for a 2007 Prius I'll never understand how that stuff works. Maybe Progressive thinks Teslas won't get stolen?

    Going with 4 seats - no second row

    If you opt for the Pacifica Hybrid, you no longer get the stow-n-go seats that fold into the floor. The seats can still be removed but the convenance factor suffers a bit.

    REPAIR NIGHTMARE

    If you have a narrow garage, the car will beep and chime constantly — regardless of if the FWDoors are open or closed. The open door warning can be cleared to see the rear view camera. This leaves you in a situation where you have learned to ignore the alert beeps, thinking they are warning you...

    19" vs 20" Snow Tires?

    Outside of the Tesla ecosystem, you can keep the wheel rims and swap out the tires. The cost to mount and balance the tires ranges from $40 ($10 each) to $200 ($50 each). Financially, it is difficult to justify buying a second set of rims. If you pay $100 twice a year for a mount and balance, it...

    Autopilot 2.0 Hardware and XPEL Wrap

    The XPEL film has hols cut around the sensors in the bumpers. The cameras are all located in locations that don't get wrapped. I see no reason to think XPEL will interfere.

    Favorite and Least Favorite Feature

    Pro: Never needing to pump gas for a sporty crossover that seats six. Con: Windshield glair. There must be a better (non-reflective) coating that can be applied to the climate-control speaker-grill that spans the full width of the windshield.

    White seats?

    I'm starting to see hints of dirt buildup on my ultra white interior. The 3rd row has some white felt/suede around the seatbelt buckles. This spot is hard to keep clean and I believe it is becoming stained. The front and 2nd row seats are pristine and easy to keep clean...even with a 2-year-old...

    Model X EZ pass mounting

    In my testing, as long as the EZ Pass transponder has the logo sticker facing downwards, it will work anywhere under the windshield. I've tested it resting on the dash, mounted behind the rearview mirror, mounted on the glass behind the rearview mirror, and at the point where the conduit goes...

    Question about falcon wings on ordering

    My wife picked the colors. White exterior. Ultra White interior. Carbon trim. Elon has said that Ultra White w/o vented seats is best for kids due to their stain resistance and durability. It does make the car feel roomier than black leather or multi-pattern fabric. I have not yet seen a tan...

    Question about falcon wings on ordering

    I too was concerned the Falcon Wind Doors would be ostentatious and problematic. However, after 2 weeks of owning one, the doors just make people smile and there have been zero problems to date. In my experience, it's been the white interior that tends to draw the ire of people who think it's...

    What are the flaws coming off the line nowadays like??

    I picked up on June 30th. The car was ready a week earlier but I wasn't. I couldn't be happier with the 57-day turnaround for an east coast delivery. I had 3 minor issues. The passenger-side front door will close with the window out of its track. So far it has happened twice; once during the...

    Winter tires for Model X

    The Nokian website says the max load is 4200 lbs. The Model X 90D comes in at 5300 lbs. Is that a problem or am I out of the loop on what "max load" means?

    Alliant Credit Union 1.49% for 72 months

    Alliant is getting overwhelmingly good reviews here on TMC but I had no luck with them. I applied for a 36mo loan for 80k and was rejected via automated email. I called to ask if there was perhaps an error on the submission. I was transferred into the loan consultant's voicemail and he never...

    Model X June Deliveries

    Well, here's something you don't see often on the Model X forums. A delivery specialist called to say my east coast 90D is ahead of schedule. I ordered in May and was told to expect a July delivery back then. That's now been bumped up to June. The car recently made it to the Connecticut...

    Change out Piano Black for Carbon Fiber trim

    The video quality isn't great buy I ran across a video of someone who swapped trims with another Model S owner. Just in case you want to see the effort that goes into the install.

    Record attempt. Long distance on motorways.

    Nice driving. Did you ever watch the video of the guy who drove his Model S (85D) 550 miles on a single charge?

    Tesla Cape Cod!

    With all the traffic going to rental houses out on the Cape, I wonder why there are no Super Chargers or so few Destination Chargers. For day trips, a SC in or east of Hyannis would be helpful. I understand it's seasonal but it still seems like a deal-breaker for Tesla owners who don't own on...

    Model X June Deliveries

    A soon-to-be 90D owner over on reddit just got an update form her DS revising the May/June delivery to July/August. [link] I ordered within a day of this person and have not been told of any significant delays...yet.
