    Blog How Important Are Electric Pickups to Tesla's Mission?

    As long as they make it cool looking they can TAKE MY MONEY. I traded my Silverado for the Model X and miss my pickup's utility. But I love love love the electric drivetrain and everything else Tesla does in the X. So it can't be a bad thing. Especially if it keeps up good range for...

    Ordered MX, questions about towing, range, etc

    I ended up with the 72amp charger when I changed from my custom build that was taking forever, to an inventory car that had this option. It's came in handy a few times, at hotels and even service center where they can push the full amperage. Makes a difference in a hurry and has indeed been...

    Updated autopilot sucks!

    Can anyone confirm OP's complaint on AP2? We're in the middle of a 4000 mile road trip and software update just notified me this morning. Don't want to apply update if this is the case on AP2 as well. The hold steering wheel nags often enough as it is IMO...

    Model X FWD damage | Hit garage wall

    Or, just dont let the car move with the doors open! I mean, it looks cool and all to drive off while they're moving, but its not safe by any means. OR at least put a slider in the controls for the car to let the driver enable that. #lessonlearned

    Model X FWD damage | Hit garage wall

    I had the same thing happen to me in December. Drove straight into the garage with the door fully open... My final bill was 15,000. Insurance(progressive) had a 1000 deductible and took care of the rest. Car Craft Auto Body in St Louis did a great job, cant tell anything happened, but it took...

    Weighing Rejoining the Tesla Family

    Bought into it last spring. Took delivery early April. 21,000 miles later, everything is fine. A couple times it went in for a rattling speaker and a squeak in one FWD. Other than that its been fantastic. Just dont wreck it. That takes forever. Just go mine back from body shop after driving...

    FWD --- BUSTED

    Well... the dumbass of the year award goes to yours truly... Pulled up in the driveway after a 4 hour drive back from seeing family, wife and 1 of two kids got out of the car, thought kid 1's FWD closed after hitting the button on the screen. Kid 2's FWD was almost closed so I started creeping...

    X and Airstream Bambi - the new adventures 2017

    Jim - love your work. Ohmann as well. You guys are inspiring. Happy adventuring! I'm curious about this, as we're about to embark on our first EV road trip, with just a simple StowAway2 hitch mount carrier, and I can already see situations where getting back into the supercharger will be...

    Perfect MX100D - my Tesla experience so far

    Thanks for the good breakdown. I'm still transitioning from Miles per Gallon to wh/mi ;) I'll get used to it, but it's hard to drive this mad machine at the speed limit!

    Perfect MX100D - my Tesla experience so far

    Thanks jlund and Muhammad I have two options, one says Rated and the other Ideal - it's been on rated since I got in it. I think I either need to just concede to driving the speed limit, or put a much larger buffer in place!

I live a couple hours south of St. Louis, MO. Did a test...
