    After market wipers for Model X

    Any suggestions on after market wipers for the X that do a better job than the stock ones? Just had 2 days of rain with the the stock wipers and the performance was less than desirable. Thanks.

    Suspension set to Low with 22 inch wheels??

    I just upgraded my wheels to 22" turbines but I am not sure what height to set the suspension to? I have no issues with "low" (no slopes to contend with) but have heard that setting to low will wear out the tires faster? What do you guys with 22" rims set your height to on the X and why? Thanks!

    Opticoat Windshield on X?

    Has anyone put opti coat on their windshield? I live in the PNW and am thinking of doing so due to the rain we get in winter but wondered if this has caused any issues with wiper chatter etc? I believe those were common issues a couple of years ago but no longer an issue off late?

    Black Lug Nut Covers and Black Center Caps prices gone up over 4X?

    I purchased black center caps ($4/ea) and black lug nut covers ($0.39/ea) from Tesla for my model 3 in February. I tried to order the same for my new X (same part numbers) and the prices for the black center caps have gone to $15/ea and black lug nut covers to $1/ea. Quite a steep increase in...

    To Buy an X or Not Now?

    I know this might sound a little panicky since I am due to pick up my new X in a week or so - with all the negative press and stock shorting and renewed conversation about Tesla going bust in a couple of years, is it a good idea to invest in an X now or wait till the other big companies (BMW...

    White Premium or Black Textile Seats

    Anxiously awaiting my X in June. I configured with Black Textile seats but am now thinking of switching to White Premium with carbon. Think it will present a more roomier feeling inside the cabin? The exterior color is White. We have 2 kids. Any pros or cons for going with White? I have read...

    Decision Time

    20" Sonic Carbon Wheels

    Just placed an order for a new X with 20" sonic carbon wheels. But I am thinking of switching the design back to 20" standard wheels and just getting the wheels powder coated after delivery thereby saving me an extra $2K. Is there any difference between the 20" standard wheels and the 20" sonic...

    Can I uncork my X or not?

    I am looking at buying a 2016 Model X60D and plan to upgrade it to a 75D at some point. The question is "will the car get the uncork" in performance once it becomes a 75D? The production date was 8/2016 and VIN # 015xxx if that helps. Thanks.

    Delivery for 2nd Model 3

    We recently took delivery of our 3 and are thinking of getting another. Anyone know what the wait time would be for another 3 since we are owners of a Tesla already? Of course we got preferential treatment for our 3 since we owned an S. Thanks

    Sound from my Model S85

    Just wondering if this is normal or not? I have an S85 (early production, 2012) with only 26K miles on it. On most days especially when it is cooler I get a pretty loud sound especially when it is idle or I am backing out of the garage. The sound is reminiscent of a loud cough or thump and it...

    A couple of questions for a Newbie with a Model 3

    Picked up our Model 3 today and super stoked! A couple of questions for those that have had their car: 1. Our garage is quite narrow and I would like to fold the side mirrors while backing out and coming into the garage. Is there a way to do that? In our earlier beamer we had a button that...

    Lumbar pillow for older Model S

    I have a 2012 S85 in pristine condition but of course the seats could be better :-) Does anyone have any idea of a good lumbar support pillow to use for the driver's seat? Something like tempurpedic?

    Order a 2nd Model 3

    I just configured my first Model 3 last night. I am a current Model S owner and am contemplating on selling it and getting another Model 3 (SR, AWD etc.) If I placed a reservation today for a 2nd Model 3 does anyone know when I will get the invite for the 2nd one? I am on the West Coast. Anyone...

    Thoughts on EAP for the 3

    Looking for thoughts on whether I should purchase the EAP option when the time comes to configure our Model 3. We don't drive much on a daily basis and on weekends take trips that are around 200 miles or so at the max. Yes, in summer we tend to drive a bit more but no super long trips yet as we...

    Advice Needed

    Would love some advice here as I am new to the X community. I currently own an S and have an early reservation for a Model 3. We have 2 growing kids and slowly aging in-laws that is making me re-think my decision about the model 3. I am now thinking of getting a used X as that will be more...

    What would you do?

    I currently have a model S85 that the wife likes to drive (understandably). I also have a day one reservation for a Model 3. I am trying my best to be laser focused on waiting for the Model 3 especially since I was an early reservation holder. However with the unknowns around the tax credit my...

    EV Tax Credit

    Haven't heard much about the status of the EV Tax Credit lately? Realize that the Senate has it in their plan but when do you think we will know? I am deciding between a used S and a new Model 3 (first day res). If the tax credit goes I will most likely spring for the used Model S ;-)

    Cannibalization of Model S sales

    As model 3 owner deliveries begin to happen soon do you expect cannibalization of Model S sales/prices in the coming months, especially for the older models (2012/2013)?
