    Tahoe Road Trip - Range Concerns in Snow

    Thanks @sacfan and everyone. This was a lifesaver. We’re used to driving to Bear and Mammoth but this blizzard is serious, especially going up to Tahoe. Going to stay at a hotel near Sacramento so we can drive to Tahoe during the day... and also go after the heavy snowfall stops. There’s a small...

    Tahoe Road Trip - Range Concerns in Snow

    We’re planning on going from LA to Tahoe in our X75D this week. First time skiing in Tahoe! It may snow a few feet during our drive there. My main concern is having enough charge to go from Sacramento-Rocklin to Truckee supercharger going uphill in the snow. The trip is 78 miles. ABRP is showing...

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    Our Model 3 LR has 18k miles and is 18 months old. My 100% on the stats app gradually went from 310 to 275. It’s gone back up to 300. I believe this was due to our charging behavior. I would charge to 70% daily and use about 15% of capacity per day. I didn’t have access to my garage for a few...

    Bike Hitch Rack and Superchargers

    That’s really helpful. Didn’t know what the tongue weight was till now. I read the manual and the tongue weight limit is 500lbs if you’re using 20 inch wheels.

    Bike Hitch Rack and Superchargers

    Planning to purchase a Thule Apex XT 5 to carry our 5 bikes. We might take some trips that require supercharging in Southern California. Are there any challenges with using this bike rack and fitting the Model X to supercharge? For 5 bikes, are there any other recommended bike hitch racks?

    Advanced: Cost Saving Hack to maintain PW2 at peak capacity

    We have solar and were thinking about getting Powerwall. We have NEM and wanted to have solar go to the grid during peak and off peak hours. Can the PW discharge during peak and off peak and have solar production sent to the grid? If so, does it mean that electricity at home is prioritized to...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    With the decline of Model S/X sales, the ASP has gone from $74k in Q4 to $56k this past quarter. With more Model 3 sales, the ASP will continue to decline. Tesla needs to continue selling higher margin Model 3s. Seems like they’re trying to do so buy discounting the Model 3P and introducing the...

    Model 3 Motors on the Tesla Parts Catalog

    Had a drive unit replaced for our Model 3 LR RWD last month. The DU part was ASY,3DUR,MOSFET-HC (1120980-00-F). Anecdotally, seems like I’m getting better efficiency. It could be since our prior DU was failing.

    Model 3 LR RWD Range Shown at 100% Charge?

    March 2018 LR RWD. 14k mi and 100% = 293. Firmware 2019.20.1 Regularly charge to 80 or 90%. Use about 20-30% range per day. I’m shocked at the degradation and Tesla hasn’t responded after several inquiries.

    Supercharger - Big Sur, CA - Ventana (LIVE 24 May 2019, 8 Urban stalls)

    The supercharger gap between SLO and Monterey was about 150mi. This helps for road tripping across the coast and worrying less about supercharger availability or gaps, especially if you're staying at Big Sur.

    Model X 75D or Long Range

    We chose the 75D instead of 100D since there was a 17,500 price difference between the two in 2017. We would have benefitted from the longer range about twice per year so it would cost $1250/trip if we kept the X for 7 years. For us, the 75D just made economic sense. If the differential was...

    Account Security Risk?

    FS: Model X 20" Slipstream Wheels

    Selling 4 Model X 20" Staggered Slipstreams for $700 OBO for local pickup. They were powder coated gray and used for about 4,000 miles. Two of the wheels have curb rash. Decided to not keep them since I preferred the original silver color with our Model X.

    Does the model X make your passengers car sick?

    My kids get car sick when they’re in the third row but not in the second row. I sat in the third row and the acceleration of the car feels more prominent.

    How many people actually test drove before buying?

    I decided to purchase the X after receiving it as a service loaner. Transferring the car seats over from the S and driving it my wife a few times made a big difference.

    Paint defects at delivery

    Our Model X had about 5 areas with paint defects - mostly pin needle impressions caused by overspray and small chips during delivery. when it was delivered. They were surprised it wasn’t caught during pre delivery inspection. The DS didn’t seem aware of them either. Tesla made things right and...

    Looking for some wisdom for choosing 75D vs 100D

    I regularly take road trips to San Diego from Orange County on our X75D. It’s about 180mi round trip. I drive about 70-80mph and typically supercharge for about 10-20 minutes each trip. It would be great to have a 100D to skip charging but not worth the almost 20k premium for us. I would easily...

    TSportline 20 inch Matte Black Turbines for Model X

    Our Model X is blue. I prefer how the silver slipstream contrasts with the blue. The wheels also seem to cause a small wh/mi increase versus the slipstreams. Not sure if it’s the design or weight.

    Falcon Wing Door Safety Risks?

    Model 3 AWD Rear Motor Output

    On the standard Model S AWD, the rear motor had less power than the RWD version. Will the Model 3 likewise have a different motor between AWD and RWD? If the motor is the same between both, seems like the AWD should have a materially faster 0-60. Will the P version have a stronger rear motor?

    Opinions on 6-seat + 2nd row console config?

    Our family of 5 has the 6 seater w/o console. We always keep the 3rd row up. I like how the kids access the 3rd row using the middle gap (instead of moving the chairs forward). I wish there was greater recline on the 2nd row seats.

    Tesla.com is posting used 2016 Model S 75D with 0-60 times at 4.4

    If the update is cost effective to improve the acceleration, it makes sense for Tesla to do the hardware update to all CPOs. This definitely adds value on CPO vs private sale and Model 3. While it may be beneficial for Tesla, it hurts existing owner values in the short term. These changes make...

    Have a week to decide - 75 or 75D?!

    I chose the 75d when I purchased the model S. After driving about 12k miles in socal, the main benefit is more even tire wear, redundancy in drive units (I had a degraded rear unit but could still drive), and quicker acceleration. The negatives for me were the cost and front wheel noise. I...
