I’m thinking about moving to Hawaii, but not Oahu where the only service center is to my knowledge. What do folks do that live on the other islands when you need service. Do you have to take a ferry over? About how much does it cost? Did any of you ship your Tesla from the mainland when you...

I’ve read several sources criticize the difficulty of reaching items toward the front of the truck bed because of the height of the wings. You would normally reach those things from the side of the truck. What do you think of addressing this by providing a slide-out truck bed rather than a...

Im supposed to be driving through Georgia tomorrow. Is there any way to tell if there are any supercharges that have lost electricity from hurricane damage? Tesla is no help. I tried to call the 800 number and was told there would be a one hour wait. I guess support isn't a high priority...

My Valentine One detector that I've had for about 20 years has recently started to malfunction in that it's giving me almost constant warnings on the interstate. I've decided that 20 years is probably enough service and I should go ahead and get a new one. The question is do I replace it with...

I was looking around the Tesla shop to see if they had gotten the floor mats back in stock and saw that they were now selling a 5-seater load floor for $120. This is the panel that I remember discussing was missing from the early 5-seaters to cover the underfloor bin and therefore give you a...

I’m thinking about doing some towing with a 4x8x 4 ft high enclosed U-Haul trailer with about 500 lbs of cargo, but with the location of superchargers and where I need to go, it might be a close thing range-wise. To get from one supercharger to another, I need to drive 115 miles with the loaded...

I need to add a 50 amp outlet at a friends house in the Jacksonville, Florida area. Has anyone had some good experience with an electrician that they could share?

I just took delivery of an Aug 2016 CPO with the manual-close button on the hatchback door as shown on the these photos. Do your Model X's of that vintage look like that? This looks more like the style of the new Falcon Wing Door buttons on the B-pillars.

I did a search and it looks like it's been about a year since this has been discussed. There are a lot more Model X's on the road now, so perhaps there are also a few more choices. Obviously, there are the Tesla and EVannex that are well known. But I wondered if there is experience with any...

Finally! My Model X CPO has been released from the Brake Recall hostage situation. It's actually winding its way down to Florida even as I write. I now have my delivery appointment for next Saturday afternoon. It's funny, because just a week ago I had given up hope of getting it any time...

As I have mentioned elsewhere, I'm waiting on a CPO that needs this work done. I was wondering how many parts are getting out there to be installed.

I've had a CPO Model X reserved for quite a long time and because it is part of the group of cars that is affected by this recall, I'm told that Tesla can't deliver it until they get the replacement part installed. In fact, if you're interested in Model X CPO's, you might have noticed that...

I'm going to need some wiring done on my soon-to-be Model X here in north Florida and wondered if I could get a recommendation for an installer with Tesla experience. I want to run some power to my cell phone mount location and also tap into the rearview mirror auto dimming for power to my...

I jut got my 8.1 update. It consisted of adding favorites to the nav system that I no longer use because it's so bad if you're not using interstates. The other improvement was to add a favorites station for the streaming audio, which I don't use because my iPhone does it so much better with...

Back in January of 2016, @vangogh posted a photo of the front trunk dimensions per the attached photo, but they seem kind of large. I seem to remember that the X's without the HEPA filters, which would have been those models that did not choose the Premium Upgrade Package, initially had larger...

I like the look of the Silver Helix wheels, but I also like exposed lug nuts. It's putting me in a quandary between the Helix and the standard Silver wheels. I like the pattern and rim on the Helix better, but I like the exposed lug nuts of the Silver wheels better. What does it look like...

Why is there such a small range jump from the Model X P100D to the 100D (6 extra miles), compared to the Model S, which has an increased in range of of 20 miles from the P100D to the 100D? Or putting it another way, there's only a 9% increase in range from the Model X P100D to the Model S P100D...

Does anyone know if the 20 inch Silver Helix wheels that Tesla offers as an option, are available from an aftermarket source somewhere? I've found Cyclone wheel like the Model S option that will work also with the Model X, but not the Helix. On a side note, does anyone know what T-Sportline...

I was noticing on the Model S Options by Year web site that the Titanium color was removed from the Design Studio on Oct. 7, 2016. I'm assuming that is was the same for the Model X. Then on Oct. 19, Tesla announced that all vehicles being produced had the HW 2.0. It seems that there is a...

Has this ever been discussed? Rather than manually creating a profile that behaves just like any other profile but you label 'Exit', I think it would be nice if there were a factory-provided Exit profile that you could define, but that would automatically take effect whenever you press the...

How are E-Pass users in Florida dealing with the signal blocking windshield on the Model S? I've tried searching the forum and get a lot of results for 'EZ Pass' from other states. Not sure if that will apply accurately for the system in Florida. I do have an Autopilot equipped S with the...

Just used my AP 1 last night for the first time, and the only tense situations were going past a big semi truck on the interstate. The car stayed smack in the middle of the lane and dangerously close to the truck. I could barely resist the temptation to take over and pull the car away from the...

When I test drove the Model S, the Owner's Rep told me that the Air Suspension could be set to stay at a certain height all the time and only lower above a certain speed, like 55 mph. I now have my car, but don't see anyway to accomplish the above. Basically, I want the car to stay at the...

I don't understand why the Model S has to have a metallic coating on the windshield that screws up RFID and radar reception. The Model X owners are able to use detectors like the Valentine1 and EZ-pass on their windshields just fine. What's so different about the Model S? Can a portion of...

In order to qualify to take the tax credit, do you have to still own the car at the end of the tax year? Also, is there a requirement for how long you must own the car? Thinking about buying a Model 3 and transferring it to my daughter. I'm early enough in the reservations (March 31 prior to...

I was talking to my CPO specialist today about my 2015 S85D with 28k miles. I had forgotten to ask her about the repair/maintenance history on the car so she was looking through he records for me. She wasn't coming up with anything until this came up: the previous owner, after purchase, paid...

I've reserved and am waiting for a June 2015 CPO with the "All Glass Panoramic Roof". I had assumed that it was the same solid glass roof as is now offered in the Model S. But I was looking at the Options by Year TMC web page and found that the all-glass roof only started to be offered in June...

I would like to buy the Tesla branded WeatherTech mats, since they cost the same as from WeatherTech and have the Tesla logo. But I'm buying a mid-2015 CPO, so I was wondering if the mats that Tesla is currently selling on their web site will still fit these older cars. Also, Tesla sells pre-...

They don't have my S85 rear wheel drive at the delivery service center yet and they tell me that the size of the front trunk changed right around the time of my manufacture, March 2015. So they need to wait until they actually lay eyes on it to confirm. But I want to order the frunk liner as...

Does anyone still have their Tesla 'Front Trunk Organizer Box' that they don't need anymore because they upgraded to an All Wheel Drive version? The Tesla shop says they're currently unavailable, but I don't know if they're ever coming back. If you're interested in sell yours, please PM me...

I just used the evtripplanner site to plan an 800 mile trip down the east coast. I'd like to get your input about some of my conclusions. I don't have the car yet, so just trying to get an idea of what the trip might be like. I used an S85 RWD and left most of the condition at default except...

I'm looking at two CPO's, same year, that are almost the same in options. The all-wheel drive does have 19" Silver Cyclone Wheels and the Ultra High Fidelity Sound which the non all-wheel does not. The all-wheel drive is $7,500 more than the non all-wheel drive, but the all-wheel has about...

I'm looking at 2014 and 2015 Model S 85 CPO listings and the prices and milage are all over the place. Do 2014's really have a better reliability record than the 2015's, like Consumer Reports wrote? Can you tell something about when the car was produced during the model year from the serial...

I was wondering if anyone has been able to transfer their new order deposit toward the purchase of a CPO. Or does anyone know if Tesla would allow this or if there's a policy in place?

Thinking about paint protection in general, but what about the love bug problem here in central Florida? What's best for those harmful critters?

Does anyone have experience using an inverter to get AC power from their Tesla? If so, could you tell us about your experience, issues, equipment used?

Tesla doesn't offer the interior color I would want to order, so I'm having trouble deciding between what's available. I want to get the light headliner, so my choices are down to black or tan leather seats. The car exterior will be MC Red. Could I get some opinions from you all about which...

Could folks that have delivered X's tell us what the weights are form their stickers? Usually found on the driver's side B pillar. It would be good to see all the shipping model variants, the P100D, 90D, 75D and 60D and 60 in the different seat configurations. I don't know if the curb weight...

Could someone that has made changes to their order after having it confirmed, post here about the process? Like who handled it for you, where was it done? Phone call? I'm assuming as it may have been mentioned elsewhere that there is one $500 charge for all changes made at one time?

Per electrek: Tesla is extending unlimited Supercharging for cars ordered in the next 2 weeks

The phone mount location in the center console is too low to be able to see the screen, and since Tesla doesn't incorporate Apple of Android car play, I think I need to mount the phone somewhere up high where it's less of a diversion from the highway. Could people comment or show photos of how...

It's been a while since I've needed this kind of work, my present car is quite old. Could folks recommend a good detailer in the Gainesville area, or failing that, Jacksonville? What I'm mainly looking for is paint protection and to a minor extend installing my Valentine One. A long time ago...

I was just looking over the valet setting information on the manual. The speed limitation is 70 mph. Why on earth would a valet need to drive the car at 70 mph? I had been expecting to see 30 or 35 mph. All the other settings make good sense but this one. Am I missing something? This came...

I've been reading about a lot of different products people are using to protect the paint surface. And unfortunately I'm not familiar with any of them. Seems like a good idea with a $100k purchase. Rather than asking every time someone mentions something, I thought I would ask people in one...

Okay, I've started the fire. You folks need to add the logs.

Being in Florida, a car sitting in a parking lot in summer can get quite hot. I was wondering if can turn on the A/C or some kind of ventilation from the phone app when I'm about to head for the car (or have the car come to me) so that it won't be quite so scorching when I get in. As a side...

I guess it's time for the congratulatory perp walk. My order got confirmed last night. I remember long ago, before there was a Tesla car company, being fed up with the fluctuating and rising costs of gasoline and deciding I wanted an electric car. But no one was making the car I wanted, which...

Based on what you've seen in the past, how likely is Tesla to announce new features the first week in January? I've been thinking about the strategy some have mentioned to order the last day of the year, thus qualifying for the free SC, then seeing if something gets announced within the 7 day...

Everyone says that we will get non-performance 100kwh batteries whenever production ramps up. Any ideas when that might happen?
