    X75D full charge miles

    My 100% is 222. X75D delivered December 2016. I always thought this was a terrible 90%, but I see that I'm within a few rated miles of most. SC has given various explanations, including a change of algorithms to be closer to real range, but that always seemed unsatisfactory. Rated range should...

    Shipping from TireRack to Independent Installer - Advice?

    Has anyone used Firestone or PepBoys to install new tires? How about alignment? I'm in OC, so if anyone has location-dependent advice, that would also be useful. Thanks. BTW, I think I'm going with the Pirelli Scorpion Zero All-Seasons.

    Supercharger - Irvine, CA - Michelson Dr. (Park Place, LIVE 19 Oct 2019, 12 urban stalls)

    Irvine was first listed as a "target opening" in 2017. Now, clearly, it won't make the 2018 target. If you look at the map, Tustin, Irvine and Mission Viejo all have projected supercharger locations. The whole area has seen a major conversion to Teslas, but the need to show a profit means that...

    X: What's your 90%?

    I had the same response when I brought in my 12/2016 MX75D with a 100% around 220 miles. The SC said that algorithm changes had adapted to my driving habits and that there was no issue with the battery modules. I'm not sure why my driving habits would trigger it. I have a low lifetime wh/mile...

    Battery Level dropping while at SC

    I had Costa Mesa SC keep both fobs in the car, which they said was the cause of the car losing ~20 miles per day range. For at least 24 hours, it was at lower than 10%, reaching 2 miles before they decided to charge it. (I brought it in on the 23rd of December and, on the 25th, the shop was...

    Model X Battery Loss

    No, I supercharge, but typically once every two weeks. Most charging is done at home on an L2 charger.

    Model X Battery Loss

    After having a 220 mile rated range on my X75D after a 100% charge (from discharging to <5%), I took my car into the SC. I had had an issue the previous Christmas when the SC left my car on <5% for an extended period of time (to ~2 miles range), but they have now twice confirmed that there I...

    Model X 100D Mileage Drop

    I was seeing around 9.3% loss from a 100% of 237 (MX 75D, December 2016, 14,500 miles) to, after a deep discharge and full charge to 100%, 220 miles(!). I noticed a significant drop in range after the SC left it at <10% for two days during its annual service last year, dropping it to near-zero...

    Supercharger - Irvine, CA - Michelson Dr. (Park Place, LIVE 19 Oct 2019, 12 urban stalls)

    Lots of good location speculation, but does anyone think that there will be a Supercharger by the end of 2018? Still no evidence of an Irvine location as the M3s ramp up their volume.

    Service Center swamped

    Costa Mesa has an SC near the delivery center. I suspect that there is an influx of Model 3 delivery issues that combine with the general growth of Teslas in SoCal. They're using Lyft to get me around, because there were no loaners available in the morning. Prior to this I always had a loaner...

    Service Center swamped

    Here I am waiting 90 minutes for a loaner. Monday afternoon in Costa Mesa. I know we're in TeslaLand here, but none of the three people ahead of me have been offered a loaner. You should see the place, though. It's swamped. What's your experience?

    X: What's your 90%?

    Last time, my 75D (December 2016), ~10K miles, was at 205 miles, which seemed like it had dropped a lot from 213 initially. However, the SC had let the battery sit close to zero (2 miles range on pickup after 48 hours from 50 miles). I'm wondering whether long-term sitting at <10% was a factor...

    Rotating tires on an X? Annual service fail...

    I had a rear tire in front. Perhaps they simply were unable to correctly replace the tires, but it sure sounds like they were rotating them. Yep, epic fail. And then they forgot to realign the wheels when they put them on correctly.

    Rotating tires on an X? Annual service fail...

    So, I had my tires rotated on my one-year-old MX 75D as part of my first-year service. When I brought it back in (metallic scraping sound on turning the wheels), the SC unrotated the tires, but failed to realign them. So I brought it back in again. Third time's a charm. Anyone else had this...

    More Model X fails, Charger Port Fail, Window STILL squeaky

    I have a December 2016 Model X with a squeaky window that took four trips to the SC to get it down to the point where I will probably live with it. What they did this last time was to repair (replace???) the chrome to address specific spots that were causing the squeak as it rolls up. Now, I...

    One year in, still in love (with the X)?

    Tomorrow, I go to my one-year appointment to plunk down $625 to keep my X running. But it gives me a reason to reflect on the past year, given all the discussion. Am I still in love? With my wife, yes. Also with my AP2 75D Model X, although not as much. Here are my categories for this decision...

    Leaving the car for 17days

    I left mine at 60%, plugged in, and set it to 50% to recharge. I'm not sure why I didn't just set it to 50% originally. That seems to be the sweet spot. Anyway, I left it for 22 days and all is well.

    HomeLink stopped working - is this widespread?

    Reset Homelink (garage door learn button -> remote control in the frunk when prompted -> bingo, works again). Next day, nothing. So our Plan B is to keep an old garage door remote control in the car. Not elegant.

    HomeLink stopped working - is this widespread?

    17.34 and it stopped working. Same issue as reported by others, however, I won't go through the hassle of reprogramming the car until it's widely reported that 17.3x has fixed the issue.

    Supercharger - Santa Ana, CA (12 V2 stalls)

    Charged today in the morning before rush. Switched from one stall (52kw/h charging) to another (2A) and was charging at 48kw/h. Both started at 90-94kwh and within a few minutes were down to ~50 kwh. While there are more gripes around EAP/FSD, the supercharger speeds will utlimately be a deal...

    Creased seats in Model X after 2 weeks?

    The SC replaced my front seats because of the wrinkling. Total of ten weeks to get them replaced (six for original order + four more when the wrong part arrived), but it wasn't like the X wasn't functional in the meantime. The new seats seem of higher quality both from the standpoint of...

    17.24.28 released

    Yeah, it's the last weekend in June ("next month") and "silky smooth" seems to be only rolled out to a small handful of AP2 autos, perhaps those that are brand new or have had service. Radio silence from Tesla.

    So Cal Edison TOU Plans, are they worth it?

    I was charging at the San Juan Capistrano supercharger one day and a Tesla Solar City employee was there. He said that anyone who is close to break-even on their electric bills with solar panels will do better with TOU-D-A than TOU-D-B, even though SCE promotes this as popular with net energy...

    Using Superchargers for Local Charging

    Tesla's recent Supercharger announcement obliterates the old ethical discussion of local/trip charging. Tesla understands that cheap/free ubiquitous charging infrastructure tied to their autos/trucks/etc... will be a competitive advantage that will be hard for another individual automaker to...

    Atta Boy for Tesla Service

    Thanks for your advice @DJung. Finally, I took the car in. All the staff were attentive and helpful. They found the part I needed in current inventory and scheduled an appointment to get the repair, as well as taking care of a number of small issues. They had my email in the system and I was...

    Atta Boy for Tesla Service

    I must be doing something wrong. Costa Mesa SC has returned a phone call just once, no replies to two emails, etc. Should I just go on rather than try to book an appointment? I'm waiting since early January on a minor repair. I love driving the car, so I'm trying to take deep breaths.

    Observations from an OC->SF roadtrip (using 101 outbound and 5 inbound)

    No, I'm waiting for 17.5.36 to allow this, at least at 35mph. I know, really slow for Irvine's 50mph streets.

    17.5.36 AP2

    I don't think you can launch the update from the app. I was in the first 1000 to get the AP2 update on New year's Eve, but I'm still waiting for 17.5.36 (still on 17.5.28).

    Observations from an OC->SF roadtrip (using 101 outbound and 5 inbound)

    Yes, but half of it is because I charge for longer than they say, just in case. I'd say they were only off by about 5 minutes typically, but I had a different itinerary in mind in order to avoid Burbank, so then I had to charge up to 80-90%.

    Observations from an OC->SF roadtrip (using 101 outbound and 5 inbound)

    In my month-old 75D Model X, I finally took the family on a roadtrip, using many of California's superchargers in the process, playing with the current features of Autopilot and Autosteer in the process. Here is a summary of my observations: 1. Supercharger anxiety. This is different from range...

    Autopilot rolling out to all AP2 HW cars today

    I downloaded today's update to AP2. We'll see how autosteer works. @nhartwell's experience was the same as I had, with lots of small adjustments instead of a smooth path down the middle of the lane. My dashboard says "some driver assistance features unavailable," (still). The SC in Burbank said...

    Model X December Deliveries

    According to my DS, our 75D is scheduled to be in SoCal 12/22 with a 12/26 delivery date scheduled. However, the website and emails are seemingly detached from each other. On the website, it says December-early January delivery with the car in production since 12/9 and the emails skipped over...
