    Model X front license plate bracket

    Just got my plates for my new Model X100d, and noticed that the old bracket from my tradein had disappeared. Anyone know where to get that?

    Trying to make sense over PPF and Ceramic Coat ...

    I have read these posts, and now want the front end done. Trouble is, I'm way up on the Oregon border, and don't know any shops that do it. Does anyone know of such a place in Grants Pass, Medford, or Eureka, California?

    Biggest difference with my new X

    I can't argue with your facts. But, here's the counter, I'm 73 years old, with 4 kids, each earning over 100k, so they don't need my money. I couldn't think of any other thing to spend the money on.

    Biggest difference with my new X

    I probably gave away some on the trade; I got a value of $58,000. I could have undoubtedly got more with a private sale, but I live in a very poor community (on the coast, at the Oregon border, our only attraction is Redwood National Park, and of course the fishing, both in the ocean and the...

    Biggest difference with my new X

    "New batteries in full production is 2-3 years away. By then, X will probably get a a redesign and new batteries, then it's time to upgrade again." That was my conclusion as well. There's NO DOWNSIDE! If a new design comes out in a year or two (realistically, that's the soonest), we just get...

    Biggest difference with my new X

    I loved my blue 2017 X100d, but I admit it, I like to trade in after 3 years. This was particularly ridiculous because my 2017 was absolutely perfect. My only criticism was the range--at 85% charge, I could get 250 miles. That's ok, but for trips, I had to use better route planner and...

    Model X postponed indefinitely?

    I ordered my 100DX around August 31st, and the new blue one is in my garage. Not a single defect that I can find. Since I live way up on the north coast, they delivered it on a trailer for free. Only time I've ever gotten a new car in my driveway with only 7 miles on it!!!!! Model X100d...

    Trading in a X100d

    I'd really like to purchase a new model X. I have a 2017 X100d, in absolutely perfect condition. Not a mark on it. 34000 miles. But I go online, and there's no way to arrange a tradein on a new one. Any suggestions? My closest dealership is probably in Portland, OR. 2017 X100d, FSD, all...

    Help! Automatic drivers door won't open

    Do you by any chance have the part number? I've emailed Rocklin to see if they could just ship me the part. (I'm 7 1/2 hour drive away) If you still have the invoice I'll bet it's on there. Tom Owen

    Help! Automatic drivers door won't open

    It's not locked, as I can open the back door and push on the drivers door from the inside. Any suggestions? When I push on the door handle, I can hear some mechanical movement, but the door doesn't open.

    Tesla 3 Performance v. Porsche 911 4S

    I had the 3500th 240Z produced. It was on the lot in Prosser, WA, and they didn't know what they had. In the Bay Area, in 1970, they started at 7500, used. I got it for list price. The radio was a blast--its search function had the station pointer travel down a wire until it hit a station.

    Tesla 3 Performance v. Porsche 911 4S

    I too was a 911 owner, a new 1977 911S. The only thing I still miss about it, that I can't do in my model X, is driving down the Smith River Canyon, late at night, when the exhaust just banged off the walls and surrounded me. An other-worldly experience!

    $50,000+ car while economy in freefall

    On Saturday, March 21st, I was wistfully cruising the tesla.com site and in a moment of temporary insanity, I put together a new X100d order. I noticed that the new ones only came with one year of connectivity. My 2017 X100d had permanent connectivity. So I called and got a very nice man. I...

    OT--Activity Key

    I can't take it anymore, watching the Range Rover Discovery commercials. Here's what they are "advertising". If you need to open the back lift gate, here's what you do. Put down everything in your hands, walk up and touch the back window with your "activity key", while with your other hand...

    Autonomous driving

    I have a 2017X100d, and I've paid for FSD, but not sure it was the right choice. In checking into purchasing a new one, the standard equipment apparently includes something called autopilot, but still charges an extra $7k for FSD. In reading further, it seems that the standard equipment...

    Help! Elon!

    Wow, who says including Elon in your title doesn't work? Two days after I posted, and 6 days before the latest completion date, I got an email saying my car was finished! The nice lady from service even said they'd charge it up for me and leave it outside so I could pick it up on Christmas...

    Help! Elon!

    I was a victim of the blizzard conditions before Thanksgiving while on I 80 just West of Truckee. CalTrans closed the freeway at 4 pm, and reopened it, apparently because of the anticipated traffic for Thanksgiving, at 6 pm. It was a huge mistake. I went off the road at 18 mph, and ended up...

    Springfield uphill to Grants Pass OR in a SR+ cutting it too close?

    I posted in another thread--be careful at the Grants Pass Supercharger. Last 3 times I was there, several of the stations weren't working properly. I'd get started, and then stroll to the Black Bear Diner, only to get a message on my phone that "Charging has been interrupted." From my...

    Supercharger in Grants Pass, OR

    The last 3 times I've been there, have had nothing but trouble. At best, it charges very slow, and every one of the last 3 times, I've gotten the dreaded message: "Supercharging has been interrupted." This is a critical stop on I5, with none available in Medford, the much bigger city.

    Sentry Mode on V10

    I have the same model, and received the V10 update on Monday night. I tried it today in a small parking lot, and it seemed to work fine. I'll give it a more exhaustive test this week.

    Forgoing BMW / Mercedes / Lexus for Tesla?

    Never have I enjoyed reading a post as much as I did when this Tesla hater said it was his last post. And for a partner in a decent firm, he's not making enough to throw around those insults. I was a partner in a nice firm, until I put a robe on. I drive a X100d and I am proud to do it.

    With regard to your video--i was worried that you standing next to the window was in the sight of a door camera and confused the hell out of the poor car.

    Yet another reason to move to UK (beside the health care situation).

    Could this be a Scam?

    Watch out if they bring a "cashier's check". Those are not always what they seem. Take the check and the person to a bank, and see if it's good. Would still be better if you had 3 days until you give the car, but this is better than just taking the check and giving the car. Good luck!

    Which Model X?

    Go for the newer LR Demo. Who in the world needs more performance than a regular Tesla? I've hurt people's necks with my X100d!

    Pulled over in new Model X after 15-20 years of hassle free driving

    In California, the law says you can tint the front side windows, but requires a very low percentage of tint. When I had my Audi tinted, I asked about the front windows, and he said "sure we can put the legal tint on, but you won't be able to see it. It's so light that the only function it has...

    Dilema: how do I get the rest of my foursome to chip in when I drive?

    I've driven to a lot of golf tournaments, and every single time my foursome chips in for gas, no matter whose car we drive. Now that I've got a X100d, (It easily holds 4 sets of clubs) we tend to use it. But there's no gas to put in it, so we don't chip in. My hope is that someone here has...

    Nissan launches hands-off ProPilot 2.0 On-Ramp to Off-Ramp (Rivals Navigate on Autopilot)

    "Navigate on Autopilot only works on divided limited highway just as this. They also have a separate system that works on any single lane roads similar to regular Autopilot." Guess I've got some sort of unicorn, because my navigate on autopilot works fine on 2 lane, non divided highways...

    2019.12.1 update

    2017 X100d, ap2.0 MCU1 Yes, I did get sentry mode, but without language about recording. With ap 2.0 all we get is a message on the screen for vandals, and a loud alarm. I took advantage of the 2k FSK deal, so maybe when they change the computer, our sentry will be more full featured.

    My model X has gone crazy

    Last night got 19.8.5 for my 2017 Model X100d. When I got in the car (in the garage) this morning, I read the release notes, but decided to check the summon link on my iphone. Nope, no advanced summon yet (I have AP 2.0). I didn't touch any of the buttons. Then the hazard lights started...

    Model S New Inventory windshield chip

    It should be ok. I just went through this, but it took several days. My saga started when I left my X100d at the airport for 11 days, of what turned out to be record (for Northern CA) low temps. I had noticed a small chip on the bottom of the windshield 3 days before my trip, and when I...

    Home charging with Tesla Wall unit

    My circuit breaker says 50 amp. Does that mean there is an internal setting in the wall connector that is limiting throughput to 28 amp?

    Home charging with Tesla Wall unit

    Should have been more complete in my post. I own a 2017 X100d, with supposedly enhanced on board charger. AP2.0. My internal charger is supposed to handle 40 amp.

    Home charging with Tesla Wall unit

    I installed the Tesla wall charger, and expected more. Apparently I'm getting 28 amps, and that is the max. It works out to only 18 mi/hr. Is there a way to up the amps and thereby the miles per hour?

    Elon: "Feature complete for full self driving this year"

    I learned a new way to show driver involvement, from this source! All you do is slight turn of either scroll wheel. For me, that's easier than jerking the wheel back and forth.

    0-60mph changed on the 75D?

    Yeah, setting it for low definitely helped the shudder, but yesterday when I complained about the alignment affecting my tire life, the technician said, oh you must have your suspension set to low? Hmm, what are we supposed to do?

    Help! Windshield cracked

    I had a small star out of sight at the bottom of my front windshield on my 2017 X100d. I parked the car at the Arcata airport for 11 days, during which temps reached record lows, and returned to find a 3 foot crack along the bottom of the windshield. I called Rocklin, my service center and...
