I recently purchased a set of 4 TPMS sensors from TireRack. They are 433MHz sensors which sold for $57 each. TireRack even sells black sleeves for them for a couple bucks in case they're going on a set of Black Rims. They worked perfectly and automatically calibrated following installation at...

For me, we started with our sales advisor from the Tesla store that we made the order with. Delivery specialist won't hurt but they seemed to be the most useless in my situation. Calls to the general Tesla customer service line were always informative if nothing else. Anytime I emailed, I would...

I'm hopeful and optimistic that Tesla will do everything to make this right. I've written about this before, but we were promised a delivery before the end of 2017. End of 2017 came and apparently car was never actually placed into production. Our trade-in was accepted at $1k over residual. We...

I believe hearing something about this being rolled out in September. If you check out their site (Body Shop Support) it has more information. Here are the sites currently doing major and minor damage taken from the Tesla webpage. Tesla Body Repair Centers are available for collision repair...

If you don't want all the details, then yes, they were absolutely amazing. Something like 2 months ago the X was in a low speed front-impact collision. There was damage to the hood, front bumper, and I believe only 1 sensor. There was previous damage to the passenger side mirror as well from my...

Britax B-Agile DOES fit. You simply pop off the rear wheels and everything stores in the trunk. We've been doing it since the way we purchased the vehicle. Literally takes seconds to pop on and off. I believe LikeTesla has a video on all the strollers that fit as well. The frunk is actually the...

I honestly don't believe it's a design issue. I was in the storm 3 times yesterday with once after the vehicle was outside for about 5 hours and snow covered. The wipers worked normally all day for me. Perhaps you blades are defective or the was ice stuck in the wrong part? Regarding the AWD...

Most importantly, you mentioned 3rd row access. I remember showing my wife the XC90 and while there was decent space in the back of the XC, the access to it's 3rd row paled in comparison to the FWD and the way the Model X seats slid forward and tilted. Also remember that larger car seats...

Doesn't sound right to be honest. We were offered home delivery with keys in hand being able to drive that day. A Tesla employee was supposed to arrive at the time of home delivery to go over the vehicle with us here. Tesla actually told us they preferred home delivery because we'd get our car...

They asked for the last 6 of the VIN and the location where the repairs had been approved/parts ordered from.

Here, both summers and winters come with 265 fronts and 275 rears in the 20" staggered configuration. If you're going to keep your current rims and just replace the tires, it's probably a good idea to keep the same dimensions simply for aesthetics. Safety wise, I do not believe it's an issue to...

It's definitely faster than before. Our repair center ordered front end parts, hood, and a side mirror that all came in less than 2 weeks. Body Shop Support gave me all the tracking information to verify. Unfortunately, that repair shop no longer has a Tesla certified technician! SMH. Trying to...

Unfortunately this isn't unusual. We were promised a home delivery with a date set before the end of 2017. Date came and went without any calls from Tesla. I reached out and they made everything right. However, I had to speak with my sales rep for everything to happen. The delivery team was...

I would look a little deeper into what's actually causing the delay. We took our vehicle in to Service King (SK) in Gaithersburg over a month ago. The insurance agent was there along with the SK advisor. Parts were approved to be ordered on the spot by the insurance agent. SK wanted to keep the...

I think you'll love it. We've been fortunate to own a number of German vehicles including performance models. By far, our X is the best we've ever had. It's truly an experience. Just be positive and enjoy all that it has to offer.

Winter: Haven't driven our current X in the snow, but the loaner we had for 3 months prior to delivery was an XP85D which was wonderful in the snow even with the 22's. I don't plan on using 22s in the snow for our vehicle though. 75 vs 100: If it works for your budget, I don't think you'll ever...

The google spreadsheet is great, but by no means the holy grail. Just stay in touch with your DS. The estimates people provide are averages based on experience and the data out there. Honestly, every case is different. Some are a little different. Some are very different. I made the mistake of...

That's part of the reason there are penalties now for staying plugged in when the stations are busy. I'm sure they'll soon be penalizing folks for simply parking in the stalls without charging. It's still a work in progress, but it sure beats pumping gas. We have an ICE and an EV. I never...

Don't be bashful about requesting a loaner until your vehicle is delivered. My delivery was also pushed back nearly 3 months and they accepted my trade in early, provided a free Tesla loaner (MX P85D), and honored the previous finance rates. Definitely made the wait bearable. In the end, the car...

I had an issue with receiving a Gen 2 cable instead of the Gen 1 expected with the delivery. I had a Gen1 NEMA adapter and instead of swapping for a Gen2 adapter, they literally gave me an entirely new Gen1 setup to use with the adapter. So, now I have both a Gen1 and a Gen2 cable setup for...

Don't let your experience with the DS alter your enthusiasm. When you finally see the car and get to park it at home, you'll quickly forgive many of the headaches in exchange for the finished product. My experience with DS was insanely bad (to me at least). I still can't believe how bad it was...

Congrats!!! That color looks wonderful! Without something to regularly compare the MCU speed with, you won't notice any issues. Enjoy the car! We have no complaints with the MCU1 in our X either.

Unfortunately, that’s where I started. The advisor told me neither he nor the technicians had ever seen the adapter before. Either a blatant lie or gross ignorance. Lol. The service advisor literally proceeded to try and connect the Gen2 charger with a 120v adapter already on INTO the 10-30 Gen1...

Emailed Sales this morning. Just got a call back. He asked for me to explain what had happened and simply said he wished I had included him in the original emails. I sent them to him so he could see that he actually was included, but DS removed him from the thread when he (DS) recommended...

Here are a few pictures of our white with cream. It's my wife's choice as I'm typically a black/black combo person. Honestly, the car looks wonderful and the black wheels really set it off.IMG_1953 by rms57 posted Mar 23, 2018 at 10:13 AMIMG_1952 by rms57 posted Mar 23, 2018 at 10:13 AMIMG_1949...

Lol. Here's what I have from delivery day. Was driven in the snow the next day so will have to clean up and get some interiors as well. IMG_1953 by rms57 posted Mar 23, 2018 at 10:13 AMIMG_1952 by rms57 posted Mar 23, 2018 at 10:13 AMIMG_1949 by rms57 posted Mar 23, 2018 at 10:13 AM

Long story short. Ordered a 2017 Model X that was supposed to be delivered by the end of the year. Purchased all my accessories including all-weather mats, charging adapters, etc. online from Tesla. Fast forward to last week I finally received my car and it obviously comes with a Gen2 adapter...

I'm excited for you to finally get your replacement. Timing should be perfect with the new MCU as well. Are you planning on doing all your future services in Tyson's as well? Love to hear about your experience with them vs. Rockville. If it's any consolation, I've had a vehicle damaged by a...

We just picked up a 2018 with MCU1. We love our vehicle. If you were to offer me a few grand back to keep this MCU vs. getting right into a new one with the new MCU, I'd take the discount anyday. Using the browser regularly is a neat option, but doesn't make or break the experience. The...

Congrats! You're going to love it! Is that the delivery bay for your service center?! Looks like a car show! Our bay in Rockville holds 2 cars, 3 if you want to block the other two in! Nice!

Winter tires for sure. What's the point of the safest SUV in the world if you're going to handicap it in the winter? I was the person who rode in max performance summers in my RS4 all year round. Drove in some heavy snow without an issue for years. Then I got married and had kids. With the...

We took delivery on Saturday. The X was nearly perfect. Small smudge in the cream headliner in the 3rd row and a tiny scratch on the silver bezel around the touchscreen up front. Otherwise, the vehicle was perfect. We'd waited so long to get the car, I didn't even mention the issues at delivery...

Love it. We're coming from a Cayenne which we absolutely loved but was getting a little too small for our needs. Sizewise, the X is only inches bigger, but the interior is much more spacious. Ride quality is right on par with the 22s in the X and 21s in the Cayenne. Would argue the X is actually...

Sorry to hear. It'll come eventually and I'm certain you'll love owning it. In the meantime, enjoy driving a Tesla for free:) There are worse problems in life, lol. Hoping you get your vehicle soon!

No regrets at all. Unless that long trip you had trouble with is something you do regularly, I wouldn't hesitate. There's a good chance there are other chargers available that you might not have considered to help you and as time goes by the number of superchargers will only continue to...

I don't know why it seems OK for Tesla to let you know so close to delivery that the vehicle was never actually produced? We had the same issue and were finally able to take delivery 3 months after originally promised. In the meantime, I requested a loaner and was provided a P90D for that 3...

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone on the forums. It's been a long wait, but we finally took delivery of our vehicle this morning. I thought I'd share my experiences with the process for anyone else out there looking to buy. Most importantly, we love our vehicle and it's nearly perfect. No...

Eclectic, Here's my 2 cents on road noise, particularly in comparison with the Cayenne. The Model X is, in my opinion, much quieter than the Cayenne we had. We had a 2015 Cayenne Diesel with 21" Turbo II Wheels. We used Pirelli Scorpion Winter XLs when it got cold and the OEM Yokohama Advans...

Just noticed the big delay in 75D delivery dates when configuring online. Any information on a refresh or reason for this delay/discrepancy?

It was promised before the end of the year. My paperwork stated a 3-4 week delivery time (11/19) as it already had a VIN and was "in pre-production" when we signed the paperwork. Even received a call by Tesla (12/8) where they recommended Home Delivery to "ensure" there weren't any delays...

You're lucky. I just received a phone call saying the vehicle won't arrive until March. Seems as though it never actually went into production? SMH.

Ugh. This is turning into a headache to say the least. Placed a reservation for a vehicle on 11/19/17 for a vehicle that already was scheduled for production and had a VIN of 78XXX... someone must've backed out or cancelled? Expected delivery was 3-4 weeks in writing. Received a phone call...
