    Is this a sign of Battery Rebalancing?

    Thank you so much for your explanation. I’m just glad that my battery didn’t degrade too much since I didn’t really understand the idea of plug in even though I have sufficient battery juice in the first half year of owning the car. So I made another trip to central coast and this time start...

    Is this a sign of Battery Rebalancing?

    I’m a little confused about battery rebalancing. I have my X100D for over a year now at 16,000 miles mark. I make 2-3 trips a month to central coast, I’m in OC. In the first 8000 miles I charged it to 80% in beginning of the week and let it go down to 50% before I charge to 100% for the trip. I...

    Any benefit of Tesla home charger vs 220 outlet?

    Battery Degradation

    Thank you so much for your explanation:) I’ll Charge it at home to 70% weekdays and for long trip I’ll charge to 100% just within hr of me leaving for trip. I was shocked when the SC person when he said 10-15% is normal so he said I’m lucky it’s only 3%... I’m thinking I wish they would of told...

    how bad for the battery is supercharging?

    Thank you sooo much for your explanation! I’ve been doing it wrong all these time! I usually charge it to 80% and let it drain down to 20% then charge it back to 80% I do weekly long trip so I do charge weekly to 100% but I would still have 20% remaining when I get to my destination So far...

    Battery Degradation (again)

    I'm thinking of buying a Model X but have some questions...

    I have 100D loving it! 1, I’m in Southern California so basically no difference between winter and summer 2, I go with larger battery if you can afford it, I make weekly trip to central California it’s 240mi one way.

    OMG! Can’t belive what just happened

    I have another question if you don’t mind entertaining me, all the time when I’m waiting at a light and I see the P icon. Is the car trying to tell me that it can park between cars in lane next to me? I wouldn’t want to try it but most of the time the space is too small to fit my X

    OMG! Can’t belive what just happened

    I’m waiting in line behind a S for supercharging at a 80% empty station.

    I just changed my plan with SCE from a tiered plan. I have solar installed couple of years back and current usage without charging the car is in the break even point. It cost $3500 to have a meter installed plus $200 permit cost to get the EV plan thru SCE. I changed my plan from tiered to...

    Very disappointing first week with Model X

    My charge port issue was resolved super quickly since they knew exactly what’s wrong with it. To be honest charge port issue was discovered the first night owning the car, I just thought it was normal but it was when I tried to supercharge the next day. I was having such hard time plugging the...

    The sensor gives warnings (beeping)that there’s a car or obstacle in front when theres nothing there. The warnings are constant beeping for 3-5mins It gets annoying when it became more frequent, you get big red word STOP on your driver’s monitor The falcon door will not open since its sensor...

    Wheel center caps

    typical ones are black, red, white, or carbon fiber. I want it to be very subtle (sparkly light rose pink) and easy for me to identify my car when there's plenty of white X's in OC area

    Wheel center caps

    all the ones I see are either carbon fiber, black or red. mine is a very pretty sparkly light rose pink for a more girly look, it's very subtle so don't stand out that much, since the car itself draws too much attention already

    Range expectations X75 vs. X100 - realistically

    I do weekly road trip 240mi each way to Central coast. I wanted to get MX when they first came out but the range was what stoped my purchase. I knew superchargers were available along the trip and I do change driver at one of the charging station already but having the NEED to charge in the...

    Aluminum pedals installed!

    I got mine in too! Did it all by myself, hubby’s job is to hold the door. I think it helps to have small fingers. Took me around 10mins. Brake pad- get top corners on first, then use both index fingers to really stretch the sides out as far as you can, move downward as you keep stretching then...

    Rattle/popping sound around the right front door area

    I had similar sound on right front passenger side. It's not rattle sound, doesn't happen all the time but only when going over insignificant bumps. I thought it was window clinking since when you open the door the window automatically goes down a little bit. After much time searching around...

    How to work the seat configuration when dropping kids off?

    How to work the seat configuration when dropping kids off?

    Lol, my kids actually begged me not to take them to school in MX but use my old car Lexus RX instead. I told them what's the point of getting MX if I'm not going to use it? I still drive my RX for all other errands when I think there is a good chance MX might get scratched back to the point...
