    Raptor Engine - General Development Discussion and News

    Anyone know if those "1200 seconds of firing across 42 main engine tests" are on a full-scale Raptor or is this still the baby-Raptor?

    Connectivity question

    The reason I would prefer energy saving is that I have a long commute, and no way to charge at work. So while the car is parked there for 8+ hours, it'd be best to minimize vampiric loss. Especially as sometimes I have additional long trips to do after work, which really push into the optimal...

    Connectivity question

    Was at service center today for other reasons and talked to tech about this. He suggested turning "always connected" off and see if it helps. He says with "always connected" it sometimes "latches" onto a network connection that gets weak, but doesn't transfer to another. I'm somewhat...

    Falcon 9 FT (3R) 3rd Reuse - SES 11/Echostar 105 - LC-39A

    I saw the loss of signal and was expecting they lost the stage. So happy to see it on the asds

    Connectivity question

    Brand new Model X, had it for a few days. Energy Save is set to on, but I have the "always connected" box checked. Shouldn't this mean that I can always connect with an app? In practice, after parking overnight (connected to HPWC), by morning there's no connectivity. Apps won't connect until...

    Floor mats for 5-passenger X

    Are there all-weather floor mats available for the 5 passenger version? I'm assuming the front mats are the same as for 6 and 7 seat, and there's a cargo area mat available through Tesla, but is there anything for the floor between front and rear seats? Would the 2nd row mats for the 7...

    Premium Upgrades Package no longer includes phone dock?

    Just picked up my X with PUP. Dock wasn't there, but when I asked for one the DS brought it out and offered to install it. (Then it turned out it wouldn't work with my case anyway, so I had him leave it off. He just gave me the box with the parts and said they can put it in any time in future.)

    Automatic Emergency Braking on newest Xs

    Didn't see this posted elsewhere yet, so might be relevant to folks. Picked up my new (custom) X yesterday. Got this email today: -- quote -- We recently introduced some minor hardware changes to the Autopilot system in new cars like yours [RN3656***], and we are now in the process of...

    Purchase a Maintenance Plan or Extended Service Agreement from Tesla Online

    I'm trying to decide if the maintenance plan is worth it. I drive about 25000 miles a year, so the 4 year plan is really a 2 year plan. Seems worth it if I do the regular maintenance, but many here report they skip it with no ill consequences. Not sure. Extended warranty seems a no-brainer...

    Upgrading charger?

    Kevin - which model X do you have and how old?

    Upgrading charger?

    To answer the "why" question: What they all said :) Mostly for destination charging. Also, for various reasons I put in a HPWC with a 100A circuit at home, so seems a shame to not be able to take advantage of that, even if I don't think I'll need it 99% of the time.

    Upgrading charger?

    Pretty sure the answer is "no", but figured I'd ask anyway. I'm getting a new MX 75D which only has the 48A charger. Is there any way to upgrade to the 72A?

    2017 VIN Model X Order and Delivery

    Mine also went "Currently in production" around 8/25-8/27. Yesterday,8/29, I got an email as well. I previously discussed with the delivery person 9/29 as a delivery date, as that meshes well with the end of my current (non-tesla) lease. He did mention it would likely be available a week or...

    No-license drivers?

    Inanimate property is insured all the time - think real estate. Someone gets hurt on your property, you are liable, whether you caused it or not. Which is why there's homeowners insurance. Same with a self drive car. Owner will always be liable. So owner will have insurance.

    Red Light/License Plate Deterrent

    Constitutionality is complicated. Some areas make red/speed light camera tickets regular moving violations, same as if a cop issued it. Many consider these problematic, as Constitution require the ability to "confront the accuser". This is still an open question. I'm not aware of any scotus...

    Red Light/License Plate Deterrent

    In NY it's illegal to use anything that keeps the camera from seeing the plate, and they will ticket for it.

    Locking outdoor NEMA 14-50 enclosure?

    Yup. Assuming the electrician OKs it, I plan to wire for the full 80A, even though the car only takes 48. Future proofing.

    80A Wall Charger wiring

    No, the MX 75D only has the 48A charger (and no option anymore) but if I'm putting in the wall connector anyway, might as well try to future-proof.

    80A Wall Charger wiring

    I was going to just get an outlet, but since a) I want a cord to stay permanently at home to avoid having to get it in and out of the car each time, b) I want a mobile charger to stay in the car for on the road use, and c) a second mobile charger costs about the same as a wall charger, I'm just...

    Locking outdoor NEMA 14-50 enclosure?

    Just realized that a spare mobile connector (to leave locked to the outlet) costs the same as a wall connector. So, never mind. :) I think I'll just get a wall connector, instead.

    Locking outdoor NEMA 14-50 enclosure?

    I'm going to be installing the NEMA 14-50 outlet outdoors - the incoming Tesla will live in the driveway. I'm wondering - is there an outdoor rated enclosure that fits the mobile charging cord and locks around the plug? I'd like to leave the cord permanently plugged into the outlet, and would...

    New Standard Model X features

    Answering my own question: according to the sales representative, 48A is standard on the 75, 72A is standard on the 100. No choice anymore.

    New Standard Model X features

    Anyone know what the charger is now on the 75D? It doesn't let you choose anymore.
