    Blog Tesla’s Full Self-Driving Option Now Costs $10K

    Not sure I agree with this. I have a 2018 X with EAP (can do everything including Noa), and use use autopilot 90% of the time. Earlier this year the upgrade price was 3, then 5, then 7. The only reason I didn't buy earlier was because Tesla is always late on their features, and always lowers...

    Unusual battery numbers on an ‘18 X 100D

    Does anyone know how many KWH are actually available to the 2018 X 100D? I’ve got 23.5K miles on mine, and over the past few days I’ve noticed something strange (I’m currently on a 1000 mile road trip spread over 5 days). Two days ago I charged my car to 80%. I drove 98 miles over the 2 days...

    Model X vs. Model 3 Range

    Does anyone know how many KWH are actually available to the 2018 X 100D? I’ve got 23.5K miles on mine, and over the past few days I’ve noticed something strange (on a 1000 mile road trip spread over 5 days). Two days ago I charged my car to 80%. I drove 98 miles over the 2 days, and it said I...

    Model X 100D range out of range after 205 miles from Full charge

    Maybe I’m missing it, but the key point is that we all know the battery is between 90-95kw accessible, then why is he getting to empty in the 70’s? If he drove straight then there can’t be that much ‘vampire drain.’ either your computer is calculating the battery used incorrectly, or your not...

    Anybody else with FSD just get an offer to upgrade to FSD?

    We are in the same boat. You get the upgrade to mcu 3 for better processing. Self driving is coming, I don’t doubt that. Regulation may not allow for us to vacate the driver seat anytime soon, but navigate on auto pilot has been awesome, and within 2 years I believe we will have cars that can...

    Anybody else with FSD just get an offer to upgrade to FSD?

    I got one too, with a discounted price of 3k through August 16th. I was kicking myself when I didn't but the discounted upgrade last time, but will jump on it this time.

    Model X consumption on 22inch versus 20inch, not all that bad.

    I have a 2018 model x 100d. 12k miles in 20s and 3k miles on 22s. Regular driving in California, my efficiency is down 15-20%. Cruise is usually set to 72mph.

    Price and Model changes

    So did this just kill used prices? @current owners: how do you look up what FSD will cost us? I have the model year 2018 2.5.

    FS: 22" Forged Turbine Wheel Package Black - at Dublin, CA service center right now

    Yeah I saw that. The concept was that the referral promotions are over, so these might not be flooding the market anymore. They are also available from me now - so if anyone was considering paying 6800 from Tesla, they can buy them for a 35% discount from me, and still go to Tesla and have them...

    Right steering buttons not working v9

    has this happened to anyone else? My voice and scroll buttons on the right side of my steering wheel stopped working after the v9 update. Most annoying is with the long press of the right scroll button not working I can’t change the right side ‘app’ on my dash screen. I tried the reboot and...

    How many guys driving Model X?

    I don’t even know how to respond, other than to say that if you’re concerned about public image when driving around in a $100k SUV, whether you look like a soccer mom is near the bottom of the list. Speaking of soccer moms, i have an X, but I would drive a Honda Odyssey any day of the week...

    BRAND NEW MX trip to the River - OC to Laughlin

    You have the car wrapped - now go drive the electricity out of it! I’m a care but, and meticulous about my cars, and just got from a Bay Area to Yosemite trip with my family. Fit two car seats (and kids in them), wife, my parents, and all our luggage for four days, including a yeti 45 cooler...

    Are FWDs getting better?

    We had a few really hot days in the Bay Area recently, and my fwd also had the obstacle detected issue. Mobile tech came out and said the backet which holds the sensor became loose, which triggers the obstacle detected. He replaced the bracket and the sensor. No idea what it would have cost me...

    Way of understanding kWh loss

    Yep, correct, I wasn’t plugged in at all. I actually haven’t gotten around to getting a 240v installed yet; I have a supercharger about 5 miles away and have gotten spoiled to just charge there.

    Way of understanding kWh loss

    I should add that I have 100 kWh battery

    Way of understanding kWh loss

    is there an app out there that would allow me to view the charge history and the charge burn down between charges? Example of one application: Two and a half weeks ago, I charged to 90% at a supercharger. Today, I went to recharge. I had 25 miles left, but had only driven 186 miles, with...

    Decision Time

    Go new. +It's cheaper +Better car (newer battery, mcu, improved quality) +Better warranty +More customized (choose exactly the features and colors you want) +Better finance rates (if you're not paying cash) The only advantage of the older car is the performance, but the 2016 performance mode X...

    Not getting software updates

    Hi! I have an X100D that was shipped to the showroom at the end of may. My software is still on 2018.12 - is this normal? Does Tesla roll out updates in a staggered fashion, or am I supposed to physically do something? My car has solid LTE signal at the house and is connected to my wifi...

    Powder coating stock wheels on Model X

    I coated my 20’s for $850. That’s in the Bay Area, so about 30% more expensive than most of the country.

    Pleasantly surprised at how cheap I am able to charge my vehicle!

    You used 1000 kwh and your bill was $100?!? Holy moly, that would be about $350 in the bay area .

    Pleasantly surprised at how cheap I am able to charge my vehicle!

    Man we get screwed here in the bay area . If you want the EV plan for cheap off peak it's 0.42 peak 0.36 off peak 0.11 super off peak. The federal energy commission needs to look at California electricity pricing . That said, I have a super charger 11 minutes from my house - 950 miles, all...

    Decision help! X or S in my future, what do you think Value wise?

    I have an X, mainly because when I drove the S it was a fantastic car but too heavy for me, coming from light sport cars. The X Is even heavier, but the feel for me was more natural because SUVs are heavy by nature, but they aren't usually that quick:) That said, a 90d at 80k isn't a deal at...

    New 100D MX owner of 2 weeks. 3 Service center visits already?

    Tesla needs to produce a more buttoned up car, that's for sure. That said, a couple of points . I'm a lifelong Porsche fan, and have owned several. Every 911 from 95 onwards that I have owned has had some known MAJOR glitch that would impact a large percentage of cars. For example, the 99-2004...

    The 100th FWD panel gap thread - but mine is a specific question

    Thanks everyone. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely lllllooooovvvee this car. I’ve never kept a car longer than two years, but this might be the one (I say that every time), especially since I bought, and didn’t lease. This is why I it concerns me, I want any structural issues handled now. I have...

    The 100th FWD panel gap thread - but mine is a specific question

    picked up my car April 4th, love my model x 100d so far! That said, I swear I went over my x with a fine tooth comb on delivery, but being that I went to the delivery center directly from the airport after a 16 hour flight (with my 4 year old daughter no less) there’s a chance I missed this...

    Best current finance rates? Taking delivery end of the month

    That's what my delivery specialist told me, then I spoke with the tesla loan advisor once I got my rate locked at 1.49%. He told me that if a delay passed March 31st was due to a Tesla (ie your expected delivery is in April but they don't make it), they can hold the rate for 45 days (not the...

    What type,of redisfuals and money factors are you guys getting? Everything I see from Tesla, especially mf, is atrocious. Or are you getting serious cap cost reductions?

    Best current finance rates? Taking delivery end of the month

    Same. 1.49 on a 100D. Currently it's 2.49 on the 75D I wouldn't be surprised to see rates go up in April, though then again Tesla may keep buying the cheaper rate to keep sales up.

    Delivery day

    They will be flexible. For example I’m going out of the country on the 22nd, returning on the fourth. If the car arrives on the 23rd, they said they would hold it for me and my finance rate. Just talk to them.

    Model X may qualify for 50% business write off.

    If you are an independent contractor and don’t have a business, but file a schedule c the car can be under your name. The keys are you have to be pass through income (1099) and not an employee (w2), and you have to,use the suv at least 50% for business use. Keep a log book.

    2016 Model X 90D for sale (as seen on "LIKE TESLA")

    As a soon-to-be model x 100D owner, I am so curious as to where this car ends up (in terms of sale price). OP is looking for a 30% depreciation over two years; less if you count the $7500 tax credit. I recently saw a similar car with almost the exact same miles sell for $67K, but that was a...

    Order placed!

    Got a call from my delivery advisor yesterday that it looks like my car will be delivered to SF on March 20th. I was able to lock in my financing at 1.49% for the 100D. Interesting fact, if there is a delay to your delivery ‘due to Tesla,’ the finance team can push your financing window to 45...

    I am taking delivery of my Model X in March, and have already been given a referral code. Myself and a colleague are planning on getting tesla solar panels installed, and I would like to use my referral code, as I will get $400 cash back for each solar referral. The question is, do I need to...

    MX Now 100% Tax Deductible for a Business?

    Yep, lots of information out there but thanks for posting! This fact put us over the edge when we placed an order for a 100D for my wife who will be using it for her business. One thing to keep in mind (out of several) is that if you take the full 100% deduction of the car, but sell the car...

    New X75D or used S P85+

    Interesting. I just started researching these cars this week so inventory must be low; the cheapest I’ve seen cars are in the 40’s, but that’s for s60s. Regular 85s with high mileage in the low 50s, and 2013/2-14 P85s high 50s/low 60s. I’m with you on 50% depreciation after three years, but...
