    Model S Nature Pictures

    Went to all 5 National Parks in Utah with an old friend last fall. Also took Ebikes. Didn’t get many pics with Model X....a lot of pics of parks. Below are shots from visitors center at Canyonlands NP and Dead Horse Point State Park.

    Beaver SCharger is usually empty or one other stall occupied when we have been there. This time, all 4 stalls full.

    Returning from St George awhile back and stopped at the Beaver super charger. 1st Model 3 I have seen up close. Ours is the MX. Interesting to see the size difference between Mx, M3 and Ms. Before we ordered the Mx, had reserved the M3 but decided against as at 6 ft 7, I was not sure I could...

    X: What's your 90%?

    So I thought I would post here and see what you all think. Have a model X 100D that was a July build. Picked up in Sept. Would charge to 75 to 80% at home and would get up to 280 miles at the 80%. We went on a road trip within the 1st 2 weeks and charged to 100%. Car showed 356 miles. These...

    How to add a HEPA filter to your non-Bioweapon facelift Model S!

    For those with a model X who can't get the factory filter. The process described above would work the same. Just take the old housing out and built a MERV 13 or more filter into the housing being sure to seal it up well around the edges. Then replace it and put everyone back together. Should...

    How to add a HEPA filter to your non-Bioweapon facelift Model S!

    Installed today in my Model X. Easier than the Model S install shows. Basic steps are: 1. Take off all the trim around the top, sides and front of frunk. These are just pop out pins so don't force it, be gentle. 2. Take off the rubber seal all around the frunk. Its easy to get back...

    How to add a HEPA filter to your non-Bioweapon facelift Model S!

    Forgot to mention that the SC rep reminded me that since my X did not come with Bio-Defense mode, I would not have the "button". I asked if it were possible for them to install it and he quickly responded that they do not have the capability of doing that any longer. My guess is that means...

    How to add a HEPA filter to your non-Bioweapon facelift Model S!

    Picked up the Tesla HEPA filter today from the Salt Lake service center. Comes complete with the housing. Filter is firmly sealed inside the housing. Don't know when I will have time to install but sure will be nice. Have included pictures of receipt, and front and back of filter in housing.

    How to add a HEPA filter to your non-Bioweapon facelift Model S!

    Thank you MarcusMaximus. Called the SC today and just heard back that they can order in the HEPA filter for $175. Should be here in 2 days. Sounds like other SC's have had it as low as $125 but I am going to go ahead and do it. Thanks to everyone on this site for their ideas on this. With...

    How to add a HEPA filter to your non-Bioweapon facelift Model S!

    I talked with the service rep that came to the house today to do the recall work on my 5 seat MX. This recall was to adjust the cable tension in one of the rear seats. He said mine was already at the correct tension. The car was built in mid- July of this year. We have had it for 2 months. I...

    How to add a HEPA filter to your non-Bioweapon facelift Model S!

    Have had my model X for a month now. Debated about adding a HEPA and others that came with the package. Decided against it because of the price. This would be a great addition so this thread is great. Out of curiosity, I called the local Tesla service center in Salt Lake City and asked for a...

    Confessions of a Model X driver

    I have had my Model X 100D for one week. My wife and I are a retired couple looking forward to driving around visiting friends and family. Was bringing my adult daughter home from a Karate class last night. Pulled up at a stoplight. 2 kids in a sports car came along side. Gunning their...

    Should i take this inventory car?

    Several weeks ago, my wife and I decided to order a model X. After a test drive, we sat in the showroom with the rep and looked at cost of new build. We looked at the inventory also and found an X with the exact same options we wanted plus an additional discount of over $4,000 for being a...

    Theft Of Components Off My Model S @ Cleveland Service Center

    I agree that a police report should be filed. If all this was done by someone in the SC, then finger prints should be all over the car. I don't know what kind of a charge it would be, maybe theft (original seats), or damage to the other parts that you have documented. I hope this all turns out...

    Model X Delivery Checklist

    Just found this site. Wonderful job on the checklist and appreciate all who have contributed. Have it printed out and will take when I pickup my 100 D next week. Great to read all the positives about how Tesla deals with problems and fixes everything. I will have to remember this and try not...

    How common is ghosting?

    I found out today where the 1st image (attached) came from for the Model X windshield. In the SLC showroom, they have a Black Model X. My sales rep. took that part number off of this car. So, evidently, there are two different windshield part numbers for Model X that end with the B letter.

    How common is ghosting?

    I had the same question about the two different B windshields. I am curious about where my sales rep got the first window sticker from. I was relieved when he actually checked my car and sent me the picture showing the "non-ghosting" glass so I did not ask where the other sticker came from. I...

    How Many Considering Model X or Much Less Expensive Car?

    So many different variables to consider. Been thru what you describe. Current driver is a 1998 Ford Expedition. My wife and I are retired and have known for awhile now that we needed another car. Looked for ICE that had all the options and that I could fit in at 6'7". Looking at spending...

    How common is ghosting?

    Just got another update from my sales rep. He went down to the service center (about a block away from sales) and sent the attached picture. Says this is from the windshield of my X. Thanks for all the input on this issue. This site has been very informative and helpful......even before I...

    How common is ghosting?

    Thanks verygreen, will look up that link. Just heard back from my sales rep. He send the attached image. This seems to indicate that the windshield part # is 1066747-01-B. This is different than the one I was given this morning. The rep will verify which is correct. If H is correct, I...

    How common is ghosting?

    A bit more information....talked with the service dept. He said if the customer notices problems with ghosting, he can bring it in and they will test the windshield. If it tests within their specs, they won't replace it. If it tests out of their specs, they will replace it. Does anyone know...

    How common is ghosting?

    Just got off the phone with SC in SLC, Utah. My 100D Model X is there being detailed. The rep went out and looked at the windshield. Bad news is that it is 1034385-01-H. This implies that new builds, ours was July 12, 2017, are still being built with the old H windshields. This car was...

    How common is ghosting?

    Great input from everyone on this site. Will pick up model x in a few days. Build date of July 12, 2017. Will call tomorrow and ask my rep to get the glass # and see if it is a B or H. In two test drives of X, one last year and one two weeks ago, didn't notice any ghosting but these were both...
