    Model X Ordering Questions

    My previous car had the 360 view (which I LOVED and relied on quite heavily, mostly while parking) and I honestly did miss it at first, but I don’t miss it much anymore. The radar lines in my Model X are sufficient to prevent me from hitting anything. The 360 view was helpful for parking...

    Loud whirring sound in dash when speed is less than 15mph

    Tesla service told me it was some sort of interference coming through the speakers that was somehow correlated to acceleration/deceleration which was fixed with a later firmware update. It hasn’t happened since.

    Loud whirring sound in dash when speed is less than 15mph

    Did anyone figure out what is causing this? I have experienced the same issue twice now, about a month apart. Same thing where the noise is VERY LOUD below 15mph and goes away above that. The first time it happened I was on the freeway, and all I could think was that I was in the movie Speed and...

    12V battery replacement

    I picked up my X on Mar 22 and the 12V warning came on a few days ago. I have 2018.10.6. Is this just a software glitch? I haven’t heard back from the Service Center yet.

    Wiki Model X Order/Delivery Tracking - Google Sheet

    I don’t think there’s a way to see it online (although I wish there was!) so I emailed my DS a few weeks ago. I was just trying to make sure my delivery didn’t conflict with my travel plans - didn’t want to bug him too much!

    Wiki Model X Order/Delivery Tracking - Google Sheet

    Yeah, my boyfriend and I ordered cars about a month apart so he has been my guinea pig for the whole thing. My VIN was assigned 2/10, not in production yet. My estimated delivery date is 3/22.

    Wiki Model X Order/Delivery Tracking - Google Sheet

    You’re in Seattle? My boyfriend’s S is due to be delivered to Portland this weekend, and they said they ship them to Seattle first. You might get to save a few days of transport time.

    Wiki Model X Order/Delivery Tracking - Google Sheet

    My estimated delivery date is also on my birthday! March 23 though. Crazy.

    Model X Insurance Rates

    Try Progressive. I had Geico previously, and they tried to charge me $1500 per six months. Progressive quoted $400 per six months for the same coverage plus a few extra options.

    Order Placed - Waiting Begins

    From talking to my DS, VIN date is kind of arbitrary. Production takes about a week (give or take), and then there’s about a week for delivery depending on where you are. So if you work backwards from “mid March,” they’ll probably start production late Feb or early March.

    MX production line

    I just looked on the website, and it now says “late May” as a delivery estimate for new Model X orders.

    Model X Delivery Checklist

    Yeah, especially since the average according to the delivery spreadsheet is more like 53 days. Not the case anymore

    Questions before buying

    The offer in January had no cash incentives. Only free supercharging.

    Questions before buying

    Welp good thing you waited. I’m kicking myself for missing out on the $500 that comes with the free supercharging now... Conveniently the cost of all of the floor mats I want...

    Model X Delivery Checklist

    I ordered on 1/8 and don’t have a VIN, but I asked for an estimated delivery date due to some vacations I have coming up, and got a date of 3/22. My boyfriend ordered a Model S on 12/5 and his delivery date is 3/1. He didn’t get a VIN until a couple weeks ago.

    Moving Seats Back in 5 Seater Config

    I thought I read somewhere that you can’t be an Uber/Lyft driver in a Tesla, so why do you want to do this again?

    Model S Software/Firmware wishlist

    The “Birds Eye View” was super helpful in my RAV4. It basically showed a view of the top of the car and all surroundings, which made it really easy to back up, park in tight spots, etc. I bet Tesla could easily create a program to splice all of the camera views together to create something similar.

    Missing Tow Package?

    How helpful are the Delivery Specialists during first inspection? Are they typically just rushing to get you through the process? Also, how flexible are they if I find things a few days after delivery once I’ve had a chance to drive around for a bit?
