I'm interested. How many miles on a full/100% charge?

Hey RSS-X, Are you able to tell me which WD-40 Specialist you used? Also, are you able to provide pics of where you applied it? Thanks! Martin

Yeah, that is exactly what I've been doing, as explained in my original post. I'm looking for a way to only open the passenger front door and not the driver's door.

Yeah, I've had cars with the option to unlock all doors or just the driver's door and it's certainly a safety thing. But I do like having the option to control that setting.

We have had a 2013 MS for a couple years and bought a CPO 2016 MX from Tesla a couple weeks ago. Is there a way to open only the front passenger door with the key fob? Right now, we double-click the top button once to open the driver's door, wait a few seconds, and then double-click the top...

All, We bought a CPO Model X last Wednesday and it was in our Tesla account very shortly after taking delivery, within an hour or so. We already had a Model S in the app and things were fine until this morning when the Model X wouldn't connect. The Model S connected without a problem. So I...

I've seen others complain that the switch is confusing to use, particularly by their kids, and that some SCs have replaced it without cost. YMMV

Thanks for the information! So the windshield is getting replaced because of rock chips on it, and I'm hoping it will be the updated part number. I'll be sure to check it. I asked about the FWD switches being the older style and the Delivery Guy, who was not great, said they could not update...

I used https://ev-cpo.com/hunter/ to find both my 2013 Model S 85 (CPO) a few years ago and to find our 2016 Model X 75D last month. By accident, the MS was in Dallas so there was no delivery fee a few years ago to bring it to Austin. But the MX was in San Francisco so there was a $2K delivery...

Also of special note is that the Build Details lists an Accessory Hitch but the UI shows Tow Mode in Service --> Tow Mode. I'm a little fuzzy on what, if any, differences there are between the Accessory Hitch and Tow Package.

Nice! So I ordered on Aug 30th and picked it up yesterday, so just under three weeks. Ours was in San Francisco and had to be shipped to Fremont and then the Austin Service Center. Keep in mind this was likely because I uploaded everything they asked for in a very timely manner. (Insurance...

Yeah, we were sort of prepared to walk away if the windshield wasn't fixed or replaced. I'm glad we didn't have to! So I don't think I have the shutter issue. I drove it and floored it from a standstill and nothing noticeable. I also floored it from 20 mph, 30 mph, and 40 mph, and nothing.

Congrats! Delivery was an odd experience because it is clear they are overworked and understaffed. Fortunately we already have a MS and have driven MXs while the MS was in for service, so we knew a lot about it without needing explanation. There were some cosmetic flaws that they (of course)...

We bought a 2013 Tesla Model S 85 (CPO) a couple of years ago and at that time, fortunately, they were doing both cosmetic and mechanical refurbishment. Fast forward to today and we are taking delivery of a 2016 Tesla Model X 75D (CPO) and I want to make sure I'm not missing anything to check...

Are there any driving conditions that would make the shutter very noticeable to the untrained eye (mine)? Should I floor it from standstill, or while going, say, 20 mph? Thanks for catching that the TSB is for 2014+ vehicles. I missed that.

Hello everyone. We ordered a 2016 Model X 75D from Tesla.com and will take delivery within the next week or so at the Austin Service Center. It will be our second Tesla with our first being a 2013 Model S 85. My questions to you guys are as follows: 1. What is the best way to check if we have...

Thanks for sharing. I ordered a 2016 MX 75D and it's on the way to the Austin Service Center. Should be arriving in about two/three weeks and I'm glad you shared your experience so that I know what, among other things, to look for. Please update this post with any and all response from Tesla...

Hello, Two days ago I received the "12V battery requires service. Replace 12V battery soon" message and decided to schedule other maintenance items to have everything taken care of at the same time, specifically: 1. Change cabin filter ($37.50 + tax) (Last time changed was September 2017) 2...

Hi MarkDFW, I did not realize the 60D was "slow" if you don't uncork it. I don't think it matters for us but good to know another data point in this decision. I feel like the three main issues against this purchase are: 1. 60D battery = limited range (maybe 160-ish with real world driving)...

Hi jmcmill Thank you very much for your response. I appreciate you taking the time to share you experience! Martin

Thanks for sharing your experience, MarkDFW. The same applies to my MS, rated vs real-world range. How fast did your X charge at the Superchargers? I know it varies but what was your experience? In my MS, I think it was something like 150 miles every 30 minutes or so. I don't supercharge very...

Ahhhhh...Falcon Wing Doors...how did I not know that??!! :) Thanks, Tangent!

Hi Terthen, Thank you for sharing your experience. May I ask what FWD means? (I cannot read that without thinking Front Wheel Drive LOL.) Sorry for being such a noob! Thanks for the info about the real-world range and 22" wheel effect on it. It is very possible that we might opt for the X...

Thanks for the advice, bayx!

I don't think I'd upgrade the range because it doesn't seem worth $4500 for under 40 miles of rated range. Can you tell me the disadvantages of AP1 vs AP2? Thanks! Martin

This sounds like a good idea to me. Thanks!

Thank you very much for your advice, Tberk! Martin

Hi vamsi539, Thank you very much for this insight. Can you tell me the major advantage of AP2 over AP1? I have read that AP1 is very good and works very well but is not upgradeable when FSD is released. Is AP2 upgradeable when FSD is released, for free? I do agree that the 4-year warranty is a...

Hello, I have a 2013 Model S 85 and love it. We are considering selling my wife's 2017 Lexus RX 350 AWD to buy a 2016 Tesla Model X 60D. There is one in particular that we are interested in, with the following notes: MSRP $98,750 Sales price: $58,000 Clear title Sept. 2016 build date Just...

Hi AzzaJay, Are you able to post your window sticker for this vehicle? Or a screenshot from the Tesla app showing all options? (I know you posted some text in your original post but I'd like to see these options, if available.) Thanks! Martin

What is the range at 100% charge and 80% charge? Thanks!

Out of curiosity, how did you earn this award? I've seen several posts offering sales of awarded items and am curious how these awards are earned. Thanks!

I'll be in Fort Worth next week for a day or two and wonder if this Gallery has any charging opportunities for us "out-of-towners". The one in The Domain in Austin has a few chargers in the parking garage that the employees usually let people use. Does anyone know if the same applies here...

Does anybody have any advice on where to charge in Fort Worth? I'll be staying in downtown Fort Worth and visiting family in what they now call "Near Southside Fort Worth", which is just south of downtown. I see a supercharger in Arlington that is currently open. I also see that there is a...

Thanks, Masamitsu. I tried Googling it first and found nothing except a close up of a tire/wheel on a white MS. Was hoping for better luck here :)

What condition are these items in? Do you have pics of the mats? I'm in Austin and would meet you in San Marcos, possibly.

Well, the front windshield redo results in slightly less ghosting. But there is still enough to be distracting so I am strongly considering having them (Sunbusters) remove it. Before taking that step, would anybody be able to meet me when it is dark to compare front windshields? I just want to...

Does anybody here have a picture of a pre-facelift Model S with Pearl White Paint and 21' Turbine wheels that have been powder coated to match Tesla's Black Onyx, as seen on the 22" Model X wheel upgrade? I have that setup but without the Black Onyx powder coat and wonder what it looks like "in...

Ed, Congrats on getting yours addressed. May I ask, what was the determining factor in getting your compressor replaced? I reported a loud noise when the a/c was initially turned on and it turns out my 2013 S 85 already has the aforementioned acoustic blanket installed. The SC says the noise is...

Late 2013 (P25XXX) S 85. ~ 60K miles. 90% range is 232. May I ask, what is battery rebalancing/balancing? Do I need to do it? How would I do it?

Man, I was starting to think that I was unusually obsessive about my car but now realize I'm in good company! :) Thanks, y'all!

Update: I dropped the car this AM to have the front film redone. I did try polarized glasses a few nights ago and it cleared things up a lot but not to the point of no more ghosting. I'll be sure to report back how the film looks after a few days of curing.

Hello, Has anybody had any (bad) issues with valet parking and your Model S? We picked up our CPO 2013 Model S 85 about two weeks ago and are hesitant to valet park it while going out on the town. (We are in and near Austin, TX, by the way.) Thanks! Martin

Thanks, Zaphod! So I've looked at it from all angles (driver's seat, front passenger's seat, all three reat seats) and it is pretty evenly bad from all positions. Also looked at it from top to bottom and still all bad. Sunbusters agreed to redo it and I'll schedule with them sometime next...

Everyone has some great advice on the actual vehicle and I'd like to throw in my two cents about paying for the PPI. I would agree to pay for it out of pocket if the amount paid went towards the purchase of the car. Best case scenario is that you pay the $350 and everything is fine and you buy...

pjoseph/brkaus, I have the same front windshield film as you two. I have noticed that when it is dark outside (at nighttime) other car's headlights and taillights are very fuzzy and blurry, almost like when you first wake up in the morning and have to wait a few seconds for your eyes to adjust...

SDRick, do you have a link to the meter and pics of your installation available? I'm very curious !

Thanks for the advice, Chaserr. I swung by the Tesla Service Center today and picked up my free fob this morning!

Hello, Does anybody here have a method of monitoring the amount of electricity going through their NEMA 14-50 outlet on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis? I am looking to know how much electricity I'm putting into my Model S. Thanks! Martin
