    Updated autopilot sucks!

    I am an owner of a P100DL...... and I just bought a Volvo XC90 Inscription.... It too has "lane assist" drove it for the first time yesterday with it on... Honestly I was very very surprised on how smooth it steered, how well it tracked to curves and to the changing traffic around me...

    My friend needs a "sales pitch" why MX vs other luxury SUVs

    uh, the MXP100DL is so batshit fast it should be illegal ;-)... It claws it way through the snow like a snowcat at a ski resort.... It is so safe and survivable that you will be around to buy another one in the future.. My dogs think they are the coolest dogs around (rear AC is perfect for...

    regenerative braking poll

    I operate regen on Standard Mode and the only time I have an issue with it is when I have fully charged my X to 100% and regen does not employ. I have cabin in the mountains and it is about ALL downhill, if I have the car fully charged regen braking does not employ and I find having to use the...

    Accident and Repairs

    My previous SUV was a Volvo XC90 with a tow package.. I always left the hitch in and I on three separate occasions I was re-ended. Having the hitch in served me well. The impact destroyed the front end of Toyota pickup truck and the front end of a couple of sedans - fluids leaking.. In total...

    Blog Model X Expected to Receive Top Rating in Crash Tests

    Thanks for posting.... I watch all the Telsa crash videos and read about all Tesla crash blogs I can find.... It is a way of tempering my driving of my MX P100DL.... It is so unbelievable powerful and can create such differential speeds in a split second. Force=Mass * Acceleration is an...

    AP2 update 17.7.2 new Autopark and Local autosteer

    Traffic Circles and 17.7.2 - uh, not good..... steers hard to the left into the center of the circle..... and I agree that you have to use "force" to turn the wheel to take over from the autosteer - it has to be a definitive action.. I am ok with that... Conversely, if I just tap the...

So I called support and they could see the car and stated that it was in the middle of...

    Dogs in my Model X

    My profile pic shows my dogs in the back of the X on a Evannex cargo protector.. I did not add the velcro to the back so that is why it looks saggy. The puppy on the left weighs about 100 lbs and the 3 yo weighs about 65 lbs... They fit ok but just need a thin dog bed what does not slide on...

    Full charge... How far can you go?

    P100DL w/ standard 20in... Did a long road trip at highway speeds with cruise control set at speed limit +10 during the day and +5 at night, covered 2800 miles with a average consumption of just under 400 Wh/mi and that equals about 250 miles with the 100KW battery. The trip was from Charlotte...

    New Update

    Agreed - Ideal and Rated does change the reported charge rates.. Keeping this setting static, I still experienced a difference in charging rate.. So not to open a can a worms, Why does the Tesla UI go between Miles, wh/m, current, voltages, watts - to unit-less percentages? The user...

    Did Charging Rate Change with V8.0(17.5.28)?

    Thanks for the response.. So, I am an electrical engineer. I absolutely understand the asymptotic nature of charging to the battery to peak and almost every time I charge it is to the 80% range. I should have stated that prior to the upgrade, every time I sampled the charging remotely or in...

    Nitrogen in stock tires

    I travel between 500 ft and 4300 ft with big tempurature changes and the TMPS reports low tire pressure every morning at the high colder altitude, especially under 25 degrees... Once it warms up, the insistent annoying user interface warning goes away.. Will this go away with nitrogen?
