Thx ya'll for the guidance. I think biggest decision point is whether to lose my free premium connectivity and FM radio for MCU-2, or just patiently wait until 2024 or something when FSD is released to MCU-1 cars...

I'm on MCU 1. So is it generally accepted that customers who paid for FSD and have MCU 1 have to pay to upgrade to MCU 2 to get the feature?

I'm in a frustrating situation - We have a 2017 Model X that we bought with FSD when we ordered it. We got great service from Tesla in 2020 to do the free hardware upgrade to 3.0. Software updates used to roll in regularly. But the car has been stuck on 2020.48.37.* software builds all year...

No - from right-most lane to middle lane. Eventually did that manually, and then tried to go back to right-most lane. Failed each time.

Overall I’m having a great experience with v9 of the software (2018.39.6 to be exact). It was super solid in autopilot down to the airport last week, many great auto lane changes in not-simple traffic conditions. But I took the 520 bridge yesterday afternoon in light traffic and couldn’t get a...

For I-90 travel, it would be very nice if they put a SuperCharger in Moses Lake. Then most of us could just skip Ellensburg and have a faster charge from a lower SoC. (And without hypermiling to get to Ritzville)

I think I’m now seeing more 3s than Model S on a given day. Impressive growth!

After 2,149 miles, 798 kWh of energy, 11 supercharges, and 6 destination charges, our Big Montana Road Trip came to completion when we arrived back in Seattle last night. We supercharged on the way out of Boise, with some weirdness there. Starting with a 17% SoC, I watched the charge rate hit...

Sorry we missed that! It was pretty windy over the bridge, which may have been the cause

Had a long but scenic drive yesterday on the first leg back to Seattle. We took a slightly longer route at the beginning, following the Snake River down to Alpine WY and then along Palisades Reservoir. Totally worth it to see the river raging through the valley, and somewhere around two-dozen...

We had a string of days with poor internet connectivity, so a few things to catch up on: Friday: Drove the southern loop of Yellowstone, through Lake Village, West Thumb, and then up to Old Faithful. The Norris Geyser Basin was so interesting the day before that we decided to hike it again. The...

Today we drove around the north loop of Yellowstone, and it exceeded all expectations. As we had hoped this time of May kept the crowds and traffic very low, so we could see almost everything we wanted without any craziness. We saw fantastic natural scenery of mountains, chasams, rivers...

There is! But destination charger seemed easier. As great as the X is, we were tired of hanging out in the car, and also didn’t want to be rushed at dinner. So we took our time and decompressed while the car charged at 72amps. Also, probably a sign of too much worrying, but I’ve noticed how...

Sadly we’ll miss that - future trip! We’re spending Friday night at the Old Faithful lodge, then headed south out f the park for two nights in Grand Teton, in Coulter Bay Village. Plan is to then work our way back to Seattle via southern Idaho.

The drive from Butte to West Yellowstone was gorgeous. The Madison river was raging along in a deep valley to our right, and snow-capped mountains poked through the clouds on each side. And somehow I had never heard about the 1959 earthquake and landslide. The drive through the Geologic Area...

We’ve got a 100D. Your explanation makes sense, but I swear I’ve seen higher charge rates at higher SoC. For example, our Ellensburg supercharge in this trip started at 115kw before beginning a slow taper down. I wonder if there was some issue with battery temp or something similar...

Today’s destination is West Yellowstone. Sorry nice the Doubletree in Missoula didn’t have a destination charger, we back tracked a few miles to top up at the Missoula Supercharger. We arrived there with 38% charge, but couldn’t get a charge rate higher than 75kw. Tried several different...

Had a very scenic drive today from Spokane to Missoula. Had a nice stop for a picnic lunch at City Beach & Park in Coeur d'Alene, and an energy-sucking climb up to Lookout Pass. Although we could have made it to Missoula on the 94% charge we had from Spokane, the crew was ready for another stop...

I updated to 18.2 on Friday, from 2018.12, and autopilot seems like a big regression. About 30% of our lane changes today we’re failures: when changing to the left lane, it would bail out 2/3 of the way through and try to jerk back to the right lane. Super disruptive and not a passenger...

We’re spending the night at the Doubletree in Spokane, which has a destination charger. But don’t depend on it: there’s only one and it’s only 40amps. 9 hours to top off

We ended up making two detours: one at the PSE Wild Horse wind farm, which had a worthwhile exhibit, and one for a park picnic in Moses Lake. This put us at 7% projected arrival battery at Spokane, and we needed a coffee anyway, so we pulled into Ritzville for a quick charge. 15 minutes and...

Thx so much for the tips! We’re not going to hit Bozeman in this trip to Yellowstone, but will spend 2 nights in Missoula if you have recommendations there. Thx!

Left Seattle at 8:48 and arrived at the Ellensburg supercharger at 10:22 with 51% charge remaining, all spots wide open. First leg wa 397 wh/mile with the climb over the pass. Autopilot did ok. I took over once on the west side of the pass, where it veered too close to next lane on a bridge...

We’re headed out in our first really long road trip in our Model X, and plan to post a few things along the way. We’ve only previously done regional trips here in Washington State, and never gone far enough to require multiple Supercharger stops. 742 miles ahead, a couple of overnight stops...

The stock tires it came with: Continental Cross Contact

I took my X100D up to the pass last Saturday. Was snowing heavily past mile 35, snow & ice covering the road past mile 40. The X handled it like a champ. Not a single moment of slipping or lack of traction. Much better than the ICE 4wd vehicles around me.

I agree that there’s been huge improvements to AP2 in the last few months. I commonly go 60+ miles now on the interstate with AP2 engaged the whole time without issue. The only time recently when I’ve not been able to use it on the interstate was when there was too much snow to see the lane...

Not this week or last! I easily found official spaces recently. But let me know if anyone wants to schedule some unplugging love (if already charged only) in the future Also - just the outlet side get unplugged. Car side smartly stays locked :)

That’s right. SeaTac is all 110v outlets. People plug in their mobile chargers, which have the pulsing LEDs on the tesla ones. If they’re not pulsing, it’s not charging. I only park in the airport garage for day trips (too expensive otherwise!), and will always plug the neighbor back in when I...

I look at the mobile charger icon. If its flashing it’s charging, right?

I fly a few times a month and rarely have a problem finding a spot to charge in the SeaTac charge. Did so successfully yesterday. Part of my success is that I usually depart early, arriving at the airport by 5. Also sometime I park on the backside of the actual charging spots and borrow a...

Did everyone see the Issaquah Fred Meyers popped up on supercharge.info today too?

Just noticed that we have a new supercharger now under construction in wa state: supercharge.info 12 stalls 800 NE Tenney Road Conveniently located next to a Fred Meyer I think this would be our preferred stop on the way to Portland and points south, vs usual Centralia stop. Only downside is...

InfraSource are PSE contractors that only do gas

I drove a 120 mile trip today on 17.26.76, and it seems like mostly an improvement to me. I did at least 60 interstate miles without once falling out of AP. And the curves were noticeably smoother (but maybe not quite silky). One thing that is slightly worse for me is the lane change, where it...

I'm at 272 rated miles on my 100D after 1,250 miles

Yes, but I want the specific number ("25kw"). The first mark on the graphic display starts at 75kw, which is a really big range.

I'm coming from a Volt, which had a really smooth integration of regen with the brake pedal. Although I kept the car in "L", which maximized regen when you let up on the accelerator, I still had to use the brake in most driving. Based on that I thought I would miss the brake-regen when I got my...

I count this as a feature, as it keeps me from hate-listening to talk radio

I'd like for the instrument panel energy graph to show the current consumption in kilowatts, and for it to include power used by the climate system and other non-motive uses. The graph that exists there now appears to only include drive power, and there's not enough marks to make it informative...

I think the seat leather quality is OK. I wouldn't say tighter than the showroom X's I've seen, but it doesn't bother me. Here's a pic

My monoposts are still silver, even though the seat backs are matte

Sorry for missing that detail - I've got black leather, but not PUP VIN is 44xxx

I picked up my Model X 100D today, and found that it had the new style switch. Seems like a nice improvement

I took delivery of my 100D today. It's such a blast to drive, and so far everything is almost flawless. Delivery: It only took six weeks from order to delivery. The build quality was great - no issues to fix so far. New things: My X came with matte black seatbacks (which I like a lot), and...

Today I got the "Production Complete" email, and delivery range updated to 4/24 - 5/9. Can't wait

Nice - I bet we'll be on the same truck from Fremont (ca)

And as of this morning, MyTesla shows "Your Tesla is currently in production". Estimated deliver range remains "Late April - may".

An exciting update! Confirmed: 3/10 Late April - May Delivery Estimate DS said today it would be ready "around 4/30", but didn't say if it was in production yet MX100d Midnight Silver 6-seats - black EAP FSD 20" wheels Subzero 72amp charger Can't wait!
