The great thing about fake news is you get to pick which news you want to deem fake; Teslas Don’t Have Black Boxes, Making U.S. Crash Probes Harder Black Box Reveals Cause of 60 MPH Tesla Autopilot Crash Nicely done, tpham07.

You're asking the right questions. We don't believe there is a pressure sensor (i.e. grip). We do know there is a torque sensor (i.e. turning). It may be that you're touching the wheel too lightly to trigger the sensor which turns off the warning alert, so you're gettign the alerts despite...

Here's a second, independent statement suggesting that your Tesla does in fact collect and save data on subtle touches of the steering wheel (i.e. touches which would not turn off AP's warning, but are enough to prove you're touching the wheel). Police in Utah said data from Tesla showed that...

So in the case above, the driver could plausibly claim she had both hands on the wheel while auto-pilot was engaged, as is advised by Tesla, but they were not bouncing around at 10&2, but rather, her thumb and forefinger at 5&7 were providing insufficient torque to register. But of course, that...

I'm aware that Tesla collects data on whether or not Auto-Pilot is engaged during accidents, but this article suggests that they also collect data on whether the driver even has his/her hands on the wheel. It's not clear from the article whether that information is collected from wheel motion...

One year in with an X100D. So Cal. Don't drive much (work from home). 3 young kids. Bullet thoughts; No regrets. Wrapping it was smart. I am no longer terrified of parking lots. Or my narrow garage. But wow, I pull in S.L.O.W.L.Y. White seats holding up great. Not going to gas stations is...

I went with the King Solomon solution; half-badge. I didn't want to hide the pack size (it was the first 100D delivered here, and we have a lot of Teslas around!), but I wanted to clean up the rear. I have since received the black plate, too.

Hi All. Thanks for the helpful contributions here. My X100D, which is non-P (some people conflate the P and non-P models) had a protocol number of 5. It was built and delivered in March 2017. I got the uncorking done and didn't notice any improvement in 0-60. However, I hand-timed my runs so...

I wish you guys would stop posting on this thread! Every time I see it I'm reminded that my April X100D has a huge battery that is being software-limited. If someone in an uncorked 75D rips past me, I might pull over and cry a bit.

If not the 115k 100D for the fam, I would have bought a 55-70k ICE sedan (or an S) for myself. Maybe a Ghibli or that new jag. I now work from home, so 90% of my house's vehicle use is in the 100D, so it's not completely crazy to pay "double" when it's getting double-duty. Prior most I'd spend...

Ditto for North County San Diego. It's a running joke in my family that no one gestures back at me (note: it's all X on X action - too many S's). I've tried the 1-finger wave, 2-finger wave, 3-finger wave, the Tesla Nod, the Today Show wave, and even flashed a few (headlights!). Every time I'm...

Wow, that was quick. Updates starting next week. I hope we'll be able to dim it down to black. I definitely should ask Elon for more stuff... Display Brightness With Display Brightness, you can clearly see the touchscreen and instrument panel throughout the day and night. This feature adjusts...

Call me a luddite, but I'd love to have a button along the top of the touchscreen that turns the screen blank. Sometimes I don't want to see the data, music, or image behind me, especially at night. Presently, I have to go into the Easter Eggs, bring up a sketch pad, and fill the screen with...

Tim. Adonis. [email protected]. He was extremely patient with my many questions and did a great job with the install. IMG_1309 - Copy by Dinosaver posted Jun 7, 2017 at 10:37 AMIMG_1303 - Copy by Dinosaver posted Jun 7, 2017 at 10:37 AM

Hi All. I have a midnight wrap and some comments to share. The gorgeous work was done by Tim at Adonis Detail in San Diego. As many here have posted, he's fantastic. 6 stars. The side-by-sides offer a comparison for those considering a wrap. I think Midnight Silver looks great in stealth...

Hi. Because the two smallest kids are always with us but the older child rides less often, we ended up moving the two carseats into the wing positions in the middle row and leaving the center spot for the 12y old (he doesn't mind - all short trips anyway). We also keep the third row folded down...

Hi. I searched the forum for help on this, but the keywords I used took me to unrelated threads. I hope this isn't a dumb question, but here goes; Is the car supposed to "wake up" randomly from time to time while parked at home (and plugged in)? Like many new owners, from time to time I swing...

I had clear film put on my "limited edition" glossy seatbacks ;) and when I picked up my car from Tim at Adonis Detail (in Vista, CA -> highly recommended!!) he had thoughtfully left a stealth-wrapped X out so I could do a side-by-side comparison of a stealth and clear exterior. Seeing the...

I was going to put matte film on my seat backs but decided at the last-minute to go with matte on the exterior and gloss the seat-backs. Now that the matte is becoming standard, I'm glad to have a "Limited Edition" model X with glossy (and protected) seat backs. I would have been sad if I'd...

Here's a "real world" view of a silver metallic.

If you do Xpel stealth and change the surface from shiny to matte, does that make a coating unnecessary since fingerprints and light dust wont be nearly as visible?

Told I was the first 100D delivered out of San Diego. I can recommend the Britax Frontier Clicktight for anyone who wants to do side-by-side car seats in the 3rd row.

Moving this post onto the "ask an expert" thread: I've read a lot of posts about films and coatings and noticed that most folks use film as protection against rock chips, presumably from freeway driving. For that reason (and to save money), some people do front-only or partial coverage. I drive...

While we're on the subject, I've read a lot of posts on films and coatings and noticed that most folks use film as protection against rock chips, presumably from freeway driving.

I've read a bajillion posts on films and coatings and noticed that most folks advocate film as protection against rock chips, presumably from freeway driving. For that reason (and to save money), many people do front-only partial covers. But I drive mostly on secondary roads and don't have many...

Heard from my DS that they cleared California today, Mar 20th. I'm getting my X100D (So Cal) early next week!

bob_p, I've run a public company before and it looks to me like a probability play. If Tesla thinks there's a medium chance the delay will prohibit deliveries in Q1 and affect quarterly earnings, they likely would try to get in front of it and control the message. If they think there's only a...

OK gang, I'm starting to hate this thread. It seems like everyone else is getting picked for the team, but not me. My 7-seater 100D was confirmed on Jan 28th but is still "scheduled for production" with a late-March - April delivery. I'm getting jealous. When does my email/call come? I'm even...

And one 100D. It's the only one with a higher vin (40738). The rest are all 75D's and cap out at ~40235. I'd like to think that means something good for me (my vin is 40,3xx), but unfortunately, cars aren't built in vin order. But at least I now know there's a higher-vin 100D out there, so I...

X100D. Vin 403XX. SoCal. Got updated today from [March to early-April] to [late-March to April]. Am hoping I get crammed into the End of Q1 delivery push.

2006 Acura TL. My private-party sale won't even cover the cost of the xpel on my X100D.

Which is why I'm flying the fam to Fremont and driving back to San Diego. Hoping to save a few days! :-) Vin ~40,300. Currently March to Early April. X100D.

With respect to Leg Crush Mode, I saw a video today which suggested the 2nd row seat went all the way back because it didn't realize there was a passenger in the third row. Why not? Because the carseat distributes the passenger's weight and doesn't apply enough pressure to the seat sensor...

We went with 7. I prefer the look of the 6 and the long item storage, but unlike many of the 6-buyers here, we have 3 kids and we often drive as a complete family, which means 2-1-2 or 2-3-0 with gear in the 3rd row. If we had only 2 kids, we'd have gone with the school bus option (6 seats)...

Edit: I placed my deposit on 1/14, not 12/31.

I am still within the 7-day editing window for my X75D. I waited until the last day of December specifically to have a shot at the 100D with unlimited supercharging. I called support and was told a change to 100D would be considered a new order and I would lose my Supercharging date. Okay, then...
