Looks good! How well does it hold up over time? How long until you'll need to redo it?

The heat pump was confirmed in writing somewhere. Maybe in the investment PDF they put out right before the results call?

Here's a better view of the steering wheel. It'll be interesting to see how those buttons work. It seems like there could be a lot of accidental presses. I'm not a huge fan of the steering wheel shape, but I guess Tesla is really leaning into the FSD. If you aren't actually driving the car...

I wonder if they are using the 4680 cells, but reduced the number because of the limited supply? It seems odd that they'd redesign the battery pack without changing the cells. It'll be interesting to hear what they announce on the earnings call tonight. I'm not a huge fan of the steering...

The new Model X is SOOO cool! Ahh!!!

I'd be ok either way. I like the FWDs, but the Model X is still the best EV SUV/CUV out there by far.

My wish list is relatively short, but I doubt Tesla will roll it all out at once. I could see them either doing the interior refresh OR the batteries. I don't know that they'll do both at the same time, but one can hope! - an interior refresh including a landscape screen and Model 3 style air...

I'd take ANYTHING the sales reps say with a grain of salt. They almost always know less than the average forum user (even about their current vehicles!). And with stuff like this, Tesla does a great job keeping it under wraps from any of the employees that aren't directly involved. They're...

Yes, I've been anxiously awaiting a refreshed Model X! I'm ready to pull the trigger on it once they update the interior. I'd also love some more range and the phone as a key feature, but those aren't complete deal breakers for me. I'm trying to keep my expectations low. haha. I actually...

That would be awesome! That's one of the things I really like about the Model 3. Although, the keyfob on the X actually more useful than other cars because you can open/close the falcon wing doors too with it. It's nice to start opening the falcon wing door as you're walking up so that it's...

Why would you ever need to break your windows anyways? Just roll the window down instead. Mythbusters tested it a long time ago. Even in gasoline cars, if they crash into the power windows still work for like a minute or two so you'd have plenty of time to roll them down to get out.

@verygreen has been awfully quiet about this shutdown and potential refresh. I wonder if he knows something, but Tesla asked him not to share it, or if Tesla had gotten better at hiding stuff from him?

The seats aren't actually leather. A while ago someone posted recommended cleaning instructions from the manufacturer of the seat material and they first recommend plain water and if you need something a little stronger they recommended some chemical that I can't remember right now, but most...

@verygreen to me, that sounds like it should mostly just help out with city driving. So I'm guessing we shouldn't expect much improvement for interstate driving where we really want the extra range. Darn!

@verygreen any ideas as to where Tesla was able to eek out 20 more miles of range in the Model X?

Ahh, that's right. I forgot that they hadn't updated the range of the Model 3 since adding the heat pump. I was just thinking that it was strange the Model 3 and X got range increases at the same time when they use different battery pack architecture and different cells. Ignore my previous comment!

Did the Model 3 range get updated too? I don't remember it being 353 miles before. It's strange that the 3 would have gotten a range boost too. Change to the EPA testing? Tesla reducing the reserve in the battery pack?

Thanks everyone! It looks easy enough to do myself.

Is there a video or how-to guide for replacing the filters and cleaning the evaporator yourself? Mine smells too when we first get in the car, but I don't really want to pay the service center $150 to do it if it's something I can take care of relatively easily.

I'm selling a set of brand new 22" onyx black Model X wheels with Pirelli Scorpion Zero tires for $3500. These are the same ones Tesla sells for $6800. I got them through the referral program, but I ended up trading in my Model X for a Model 3 so these wheels are brand new, never mounted on a car.

I have the Pixel 3 which has built in wireless charging. However, it's true that any wireless charging is going to be less efficient than plugging in. For cell phones the losses are minimal. But this is one of the main reasons I'm against the idea of a wireless charging parking space for EVs. It...

Maybe your phone is easier to dock/undock. I had so many issues with mine. It's possible my USB port on my phone is tighter than average because I use wireless charging for my phone at home and work. So pretty much the only time I ever used to plug it in was in my Model 3. I think you'll find...

I think Tesla is saving the flux capacitors for the next generation Roadster!

Interesting. I wonder if the current from the USB outlets drops when accelerating hard which causes your phone to stop charging momentarily. I haven't noticed that in my Model 3, but I drive like a grandma and I don't have the performance model.

I've had my Model 3 for a while now, and there has been one thing that annoyed me every time I was in the car. The phone dock is so much harder to use than the phone dock in the Model X. I finally got a wireless phone charger, it now I LOVE the phone dock! So if you're like me, and you don't...

I'm curious, how do you go about shipping these wheels?

I finally heard back about the powerwall credit. If we choose to wait and hope they'll get an installer in our area we won't get screwed if they can't. At the end of the 12 months, we'll get the credit if they aren't able to install it. It's pretty crappy because they're only giving a $5500...

I got the same email. I emailed back asking for clarification. The way it's written, it says if you elect to wait, after 12 months if they still aren't installing powerwalls in your area, you're just screwed. I have to imagine that if you wait, then at the end of 12 months they'd convert it to a...

FYI, Tesla updated the referral program rules recently to explicitly prohibit paying or offering incentives to use your referral code. Referral Program

You shouldn't need to use the Power Magic Pro in a Tesla. You can plug into the OBD2 port for always on power.

I think the benefit of leaving creep mode on, is that you can creep into or out of parking spaces. I think creep mode on makes it easier to perform low speed precision movements. Whenever I park in a tight space, or I'm trying to pull close to a wall, I'll let the car creep and I'll just apply...

Good news! Late last night my car finally prompted me that there was an update available! Yesterday I reset both screens using the steel wheel reset method, and I also turned on "Always Connected" and turned off "Energy Saving Mode" in the settings. I'm not sure if any of those things had an...

I have a Google WiFi router. It allows you to look at usage over different time periods for each individual device. It's a double edged sword.

Thanks guys! I went ahead and reset my Model X. Hopefully that clears out whatever is causing the issue. I'm looking forward to getting to play around with V9 even though I'm big fan of having the rear view camera up on the top half. It's going to take some getting used to. But I love how Teslas...

Does anyone know how large the V9 firmware update is? My AP1 Model X has downloaded almost 50GB of data over the past week, but it still hasn't given me the update yet!

I believe for Supercharging to be transferrable to the next owner, the car had to be ordered before January 15, 2017. The delivery date could be after that and still qualify.

Let us know if that fixes it.

I had this same glitch about 2 months ago. At the time, I thought it was due to me sitting in the car for a long time earlier in the day to where the car turned off on me while I was in the drivers seat. I assumed that since the car turned off without doing the easy entry/exit, it threw a bug...

How long is your commute? When you're actively driving, you have a lot of air flow to help with the cooling. But once you stop after driving for a while with a really hot battery, I bet it takes a lot of cooling to get rid of all of that heat in the battery pack. For most Tesla drivers, after...

I've had this issue ever since Tesla added the awards page. I'm using a Google Pixel 2 which also has the on screen buttons too. I guess it's probably worth sending Tesla a quick email about it. I'd imagine it's a pretty easy fix.

My AC makes the same noise. What service center did you have yours repaired at? I'd like to be able to point them to someone that my service center can reach out to in case they have questions. I want to minimize the chances of my service center telling me it's normal because they don't know how...

That's weird. I've heard other people with the same issue and the service center either realigned the seals or replaced them depending on what was needed. Try pushing the service center to replace the seals if you have the issue again. It looks like you're in Chicago, there are a couple of...

Hey Terry, No, I haven't had any issues with my front drive unit. My Model X is over 2 years old now, and I've only had a couple of relatively minor issues (front door latches, active spoiler, etc). Overall, Teslas are very reliable. People tend to post when they have a problem so it amplifies...

Are all of those monthly stats correct? How does someone go from 19 to 55 (John A) or 5 to 47 (Johnathan) in one month!?

If they have a 7 seater Model X, then I could see how kids wouldn't really be able to see anything back there. The middle row seats might be too high for them to see over.

I haven't needed to geotag the doors. I guess when backing in, I'm far enough away that they open fine without being told to always open full height. I put a strip of painters tape on the ground behind my car to mark how far I need to back in to clear the garage door.

Do you pull your X in forwards or back in? I find that by backing into my garage, the falcon wing doors are completely past the garage door rails and motor. The only times I've had issues with the falcon wing doors not opening all the way is when someone stands in front of them when pressing the...

The craziest part is Tesla even raised the price on the Model S ones too. Both the refreshed version AND the old opened fish mouth version! Darn, I wish I had pulled the trigger when they were only $210.

Why wouldn't a NJ car be available for CA? I was under the impress that Tesla ships the cars across the country for inventory/demo sales? I think you just have to be willing to put down a deposit sight unseen.

It's possible that this Owner Adviser is just trying to push sales by saying that the free supercharging is ending. This wouldn't be the first time an Owner Adviser pushed misleading information like this. I recall a similar incident in Texas a while ago. I guess time will tell if this Owner...
