    Trip to Vegas, Grand Canyon North Rim and Zion National Park on MYP

    Cool! We just got back. Overall, highly successful. 3000 miles, 10 days. Elevation: sea level to 10,600 (Vail Pass) Temperatures: 30 to 117 degrees. I'll write more later and I hope you will too!

    Trip to Vegas, Grand Canyon North Rim and Zion National Park on MYP

    Thanks for this post. I'm about to leave SoCal for Mt. Rushmore in a heat wave. One difference is going to be mountains. Superchargers get a little thin in Wyoming after leaving the interstate and heading to Rushmore. Sounds like heat is not a big threat though.

    Mt. Rushmore

    Planning to go to Mt Rushmore from SoCal during the Heat Wave of the Year - September 2022. Model Y LR. About 2500 miles. Temps in St. George UT forecast 105-110 degrees all week. Any concerns? Range? Tire Pressures? Superchargers during grid failure?

    Progressive insurance Model Y

    I don't know if anybody is still looking at this thread but my Geico 6 month renewal premium just went up 30%. It's still less than insurance from Tesla. They said that they re rated the car and their finding it's expensive to repair. The price increase was almost all in Collision.

    Really good choices! What I really like is you didn't tint the hell out of the glass! Feels like a '68 Pontiac Catalina. Substantial but graceful.

    Smart summon still a parlor trick.

    Boy, this thread was just what I was looking for! I've had FSD for a week and yesterday thought I'd try Smart Summon in an empty school parking lot. Well it worked, sort of. Didn't pay any attention to the lane and stall markings. I was standing on the curb and the car nosed right up to me...

    Made a Delivery checklist & Video

    No, it wasn't real clear. I didn't get the guy's name and I don't have anything in writing. I think they're just stipulating than anything I want fixed wasn't caused by me after I took it off the lot.

    Made a Delivery checklist & Video

    A recap: I did pick up the MY today, June 28. I didn't use the checklist thoroughly but the YouTube video was a good guide. Here's the thing though: It was a busy Sunday in Orange County (Costa Mesa), the second busiest delivery center after Fremont. Deliveries were held in a parking deck...

    Too late for referral code?

    Well, I like your guy better than mine! I'm trying to think of a way to apply a little pressure without pissing him off. I don't even have a VIN yet. By the time I get the Y I'll have paid Tesla about $150k. It seems like a couple thousand miles of Supercharging is a small ask.

    Too late for referral code?

    I sent this to my delivery advisor: "I understand Model Y is eligible for referral and 1,000 free Supercharging miles. As a Tesla owner (2016 Model X) I am eligible for 1,000 free Supercharging miles if I refer someone – myself for example. How do I accomplish this?" I got this reply: "All our...

    flat tire experience

    2101Guy is Right! I got a Modern Spare after my first flat (posted above). It works good. I needed it a couple weeks ago when I picked up a big screw thru the tread. If you have a Model X 5 seater, it fits under the rear deck panels.

    My Tesla buying/servicing/after sale support experience

    After some teething issues when it was new, my X hasn't been in for service for 3 years. It's a weekend car with only 16K miles but still... It's even gotten a little better with all the OTA updates. I still love it!

    Sheltering in Place - Charge or not

    A thread for people with no problems

    In the first week, I had a warped spot in the drivers field of vision. They agreed and replaced the windshield. If it were off to the side somewhere, I don't think they would have. Still, if you can circle it with a marker, it might be worth asking.

    A thread for people with no problems

    Update to my post a few pages back: It's over 3 years since the car was into the S.C. for any repair. Current mileage: 15,700. Upgraded to 75D. 90% charge is now about 198 miles. I have thought of trading up to a new Model X. My resale should be good - this car is in perfect condition. A...

    Buy 2016 X90D or Lease 2020 Long Range Model X

    I have basically the car you're talking about. My full charge miles is about 223. You might get free unlimited supercharging with a used one as well. Mine has it and I'm pretty sure it's transferable. I agree with the above that range will not be a problem for you. 97% of my charging is in...

    This truck design had better be a joke....

    Full disclosure: I'm not a truck guy. I had one 40 years ago and was glad to be rid of it. I live in Southern California and there are a lot of trucks here. Many are used for work but I bet more are just the family vehicle. They never hauled hay bales or a load of gravel. They haul bicycles...

    Geez! I've had probably 5 flats in the last 20 years. 3 of them were unrepairable. Most recently was in the Model X: No goop and air compressor was gonna work here! There was no mounted spare in the Tesla system. We were headed out of town to a wedding and had to get flatbedded back home...

    Self Built Spare Tire Compartment

    I just got a tire kit from Modern Spare. I tried it out and it worked pretty good. (I'm guessing it's the same tire rsusi got from Amazon) It's pretty beefy for a donut spare. It is limited to 50 MPH. Driving at low speeds, I couldn't tell it was there. It has an adapter hub that mounts to...

    5, 6, or 7 seat model X resale values

    FWIW, Kelley Blue Book gives a lot of options to select in evaluating a used car price. 5,6 or 7 seat layout isn't listed. Either they don't see a difference or the data is so limited that it doesn't discriminate.

    Picked up my new MX today

    We toured Northern England and Scotland some years back. We wanted an automatic transmission and wound up with a VW Passat. Not a huge car by US standards but it was big over there. We were always worried about clipping the mirrors on on-coming cars or dropping the left wheels in the drainage...

    Tesla Model X Spare Tire

    Well, you are blessed! I've been stopped 3 times in the last 15 years on 3 different vehicles including the Model X. Only once was the tire repairable. Not having a spare in the X was the most aggravating.

    Made the right call upgrading from EAP to FSD for 2k

    I just sprung for $2k EAP. I checked the Kelly Blue Book value with and without. Basically, 3/4 of the $2k was added to the resale value. So that eases the pain a little. Glad I didn't pay $5 or $6k though.

    Model X firmware for Geolocation Mirror Fold

    Somewhere a year or two ago, there was a conversation about this. I am in and out of the garage for all kinds of reasons other than the car. Every time, the mirrors would swing out and back if I had the key in my pocket. I was concerned about wearing out the mirror motors! I suggested a...

    X75D full charge miles

    Your experience is nothing like mine. I'd have to agree that there is a problem. I only look at 15 or 30 mile average for Wh/Mi. I don't think I've ever seen over 500. 300-350 is typical. I feel like temperature has a lot to do with the "random" feel of Wh/Mi.

    X75D full charge miles

    My 90% is nearly the same: 202 miles. 100% is 223 (Hey, how did you get a 2017? I ordered mine in September but it was delivered in December so it's a year older than yours!)

    Unpopular Opinion: I love the bottom-half UI in V9

    Re: Size of control buttons I agree with the sentiment: If it's not broke, don't break it! This update was a clear step backward. I am 70 years old. I'm sure Tesla has checked the demographics but I'd have to guess that at the prices for the cars, a lot of the buyers are old like me. My eyes...

    X75D full charge miles

    I got an MX60D in December 2016. Since it was a software limited 75, I couldn't find anybody who said I shouldn't charge to 100% routinely. So I did. Often at a SuperCharger. Then in December 2017 I paid for the 75 upgrade. Now I charge to 90% unless I'm going on a trip. When I charge to...

    First, I'm ecstatic that they gave us a fix to allow another app to display. I was really feeling abused by Tesla after the V9 update. Still not quite as good as before but much better than the original V9. They really missed an opportunity for improvement though. The top of the screen is...

    Is there a fundamental reason a 'space-saver' or 'donut' spare can't work on a Tesla? I could sure fit one in a Model X with just my wife and I on a weekend trip.

    Leaving for the weekend to a destination wedding a hundred miles away 2:00 on Friday afternoon. About 10 miles out, on the toll road I had a complete blowout of the left rear. A gash 2-3" long from the tread down the sidewall. No idea how it happened. Called Roadside Assistance. Was on hold...

    I’m very happy with Version 9

    So why would we argue about what should be on top. One guy wants the rear camera, one guy wants the calendar and one guy wants the nav screen. To each his own. Oh, wait! Not any more. With V9, now the forums (plural!) have us all bitter enemies. Thanks, UI wizards!
