    Owning two Teslas now

    My family also went total EVs starting 2016 and no looking back. I am driving a 2016 Model X and wife who owned a 2016 Model S is driving a Model 3 P3D-. I prefer my Model X among S/3 and my wife prefer her old S overall. My Model X is without any issue for 3.5 years and it drives just like...

    2016 X Falcon Wings

    My 90D VIN is in 2000's and with free active spoiler. My delivery date was 3/31 and the same date I reserved a M3. It is going to be 3 years old soon and the car has performed to my satisfaction. That is from the owner of MS/MX/P3D. :-)

    How long to receive answers to Q's submitted through Tesla Acount?

    My question was when my supercharge status will be changed from pay per use to unlimited. Last week, I emailed my question to Tesla customer loyalty program contact and he said he will help me to get an answer. After one week, no response. Now I try to contact him again, no response. It...

    How long to receive answers to Q's submitted through Tesla Acount?

    I have waited for responses for 4 weeks now! Nothing. Not even an acknowledgement note. (with escalation to exec. option selected.) Edited: I even follow up my question 2 more times but no response at all.

    How do you like your M3P so far and how was your delivery experience? TIA.

    I thought I was gonna have S3X for the whole week!

    Supposed to have the M3P today but I rejected it. :( I got a text 3 days ago for delivering my order. Before this, there was no communication at all. The text simply told me that my M3P was ready and ask me to take the delivery over the weekend and only over this weekend. Although given...

    Lack of loaner cars?

    I am in bay area and have given up the hope of Tesla loaner car. (They always provided a free loaner but just not a Tesla.) Last time, Tesla service center gave me a BMW convertable with only 2000 miles. After leaving SC just for 5 minutes, I returned to SC and asked (actually begged) if I...

    I received an e-mail from Tesla saying the Stateline supercharge is OPEN and I checked the map and it is there. It is in the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. 14 chargers. Cheers.

    Route 395 condition from December to January

    Hi, I plan to visit the Death Vally at the end of this year from San Jose. When I leave the DV, I plan to use 395 all the way to Tahoe region and then visit Rocklin to return the camper. I never use 395 in the winter and would like to ask your opinion whether it is a good idea for doing so...

    Zero Issues after a Year

    My MX was delivered on 3/31/16 and it has been around 11k now. After the front door latch replacement last Year, It has been pefect! I have a 2016 September MS90D and I prefer the MX most time. Very comfortable ride and amazing acceleration. I did the annual service in April and nothing...

    The day finally arrives. You get your Model 3! Then what?

    Then what? Then you will addict to the smooth ride, fast response/amazing acceleration in every intersection and one paddle driving. And then one day you will realize that it has been a while since your last visit to gas station and then you will appreciate that you have a full 'tank' of...

    Let's dispell some wrong assumptions about Model 3

    That was similar to what I told my wife about the Merdedes and Porsche when I was shopping for my car. I didn't even consider BMW and Audi. When I saw some of the interiors of 2016 Mercedes, I just wanted to get out of the dealership as fast as I could. The Porsche Macan/Cayenne had way too...

    Pay per use supercharging

    Please, no free charging or annual free KWhs. I don't know why people expect free charging for EVs. We all pay for gasoline for ICEs. Will you ask ICE dealers for free gasoline for life?! Faster charging, more charging stalls/locations, and no free charging. Embrace the M3 seismic waves.

    Questions regarding Model S

    If you can't charge at home, you may need to reconsider your decision of buying an EV. If you can overcome this barrier, owning an EV is a wonderful thing. I have two.

    If it all goes wrong, what will we buy?

    Just out of curiosity. Have those who would go back to ICE if M3 screwd up driven an EV before, any EV? I have driven EVs and it was really hard to go back to ICE! My suggestion is to wait. EV is the way.

    Model X stealing the thunder from Model 3

    I can't tell you how useful of the FWD is since everyone has different driving needs. But that angelic FWD changed my mind from a Porsche SUV to MX. For Tesla, it was a win. If the MX was an ordinary EV with just longer range, I might not purchse it at all and if I did not purchased the MX...

    What other cars did you consider when shopping for MS

    Before getting my Model X, I was looking at Porsche Macan but got instructions from wife to wait for Model X. I did. Then my wife's Porsche broke down, I persuaded her to get a Model S. She did. :-)

    Happy New Year! THE year!

    I reserved my MX on 9/1/2014 and the reservation sequence # was about 128xx. Then I ordered (configured) it 1/4/2016. Finally, I got it on 3/31/2016. I live in the bay area so I think that bump me up the configuration/deliver list. I almost purchased a Porsche in the end of 2015 but I am so...

    Model X Eve

    Congrats! We also went 100% electric since this September and never look back. Be sure to have home charging equipments installed. I only have one 240v outlet installed in the garage but with planning ahead, I never have the need to charge two Tesla at the same night. Enjoy!

    HomeLink Chime on Open is Inconsistent

    I remember before SW 8.0, my home link worked perfect (auto open only). Now, I disable the auto open and just do it manually. Does anyone have similar observation?

    Heads-up on front door latches

    I had the similar experience as the OP. The drive side had issue open or close and contacted Fremont SC. I was told there were service bulletin on the front doors. They replaced both front door latches on 11/29. I was lucky that they had parts in stock.
