    2018 Model X Build Quality

    i have my MX 100D since late March, with few issues, but this one worries me. In heavy rain, on dark days, it occasionally thinks there is something ahead, usually (but not always) the shadow of an overpass. I fear someday being hit from behind. Is this a defective sensor? Or its just the...

    Iphone Tesla app

    I have an App problem - I'm not sure its a software or hardware fault however, maybe one of design?! I live in the concrete jungle, and the App seldom works. According to the SC that is due to all the Wi-Fi around, and apparently the X tries to connect to whatever it sees. As a result, my...

    Where are all the Teslas?

    Owning in north NJ may be about to get easier - today i was told by the Paramus (NJ) showroom staff that the long-promised (and mapped) Supercharger station for Hackensack will be going in soon "next to the Wa-Wa station". I got home and mapped two Wa-Wa's - one on So River Road in Hackensack...

    2018 Model X Build Quality

    I took delivery this morning of a new 100D, with the checklist printed and in my hands, and they were delighted to go through it with me - and curious about it's origins too. It turned out to be a waste of paper, as far as I can tell, after a few hours of ownership, and there were zero issues...

    Thanks, appreciate the insight!

    Where are all the inventory Model X's?

    I guess they all got snapped up? I find it hard to understand these discounts - they seem to range far more generous than for their low-mileage used inventory?!?

    MX Now 100% Tax Deductible for a Business?

    The general answer to that is No. Its a Schedule C deduction, not a Schedule A deduction.

    Best Practices for Wax / Coating After Exterior Wash

    Interesting thread - myself, I am on the point of taking delivery, don't want to spend another $k on things I know absolutely nothing about, but wondering how such a job - clay bar and wax - would be easy to do, and what level of protection might it really accomplish?!?

    Time running out for Model X 2017 *massive* business-use tax deduction

    My question is different. I am not looking to use the IRS mileage rate. Instead, I am trying to figure my applicable percentage business use. What I am wondering is, assuming that my business use is over 50% in raw numbers, but if some part of my business use is reimbursed by a client...

    Time running out for Model X 2017 *massive* business-use tax deduction

    When my X arrives, I also wont have any problems documenting well over 50% business use. However, for much of that business use, my clients will pay me gas mileage as I invoice site trips. Anyone know does this mileage reimbursement lower *eligible* business use in the eyes of the IRS? TiA.

    Model S: Cream vs. Black

    Hmmmmm..... please tell me about these, what does each do, do they work, and what cost? TiA.

    S or X? (Hypothetical)

    I believe you are mixed up a bit here, that should read - Model S 335miles, Model X 295 miles. Also, i am not sure that the X doors close themselves unless you have a premium upgrade?! Not sure. For the record, I had the same dilemna, but chose the X because I am self-employed and wanted to...

    Anyone take delivery of a white Model 3 today from Springfield NJ?

    Half-a-dozen of them in the Paramus Nj lot this evening.

    Where are all the Teslas?

    Two weeks ago, driving in traffic on the FDR Drive southbound in NYC, I saw three (2 @ S, 1 @ X) within the space of 3-4 minutes, no more than a mile apart. .

    Anyone know/hear anything about a Model 3 getting to one of the NJ showrooms?

    Missed a better image of it by seconds, but this is taken 31st Jan showing a truck-load of them arriving at the Paramus show-room and reversing into the fenced-off lot at the rear of the building. Since then, several of them sit on the public lot.

    MX Now 100% Tax Deductible for a Business?

    Supposing you are a sole-owner LLC, which means you have the same ID# as your SS# for tax purposes (i.e. file a single return for both the owner and business entity) - is it still necessary that the car be in the "business" name, seeing as the business isn't really a distinct entity? Myself...

    Referral Program Changes

    Not sure what you mean by reservation for an S, but in my case it was as soon as I forked out the $2,500.

    Warm seats

    I agree the seats themselves look great. But the monochrome black interior doesn't put some people off?!?

    Warm seats

    #evster, when you refer to the new multi-pattern seats in the S, you mean the dark textile?

    Model S: Cream vs. Black

    Red exterior - are those after-market floor mats? I think with cream you got cream mats? Blue exterior - that's the black vegan I assume?

    Seats / Color Combinations

    No kids here, so is the white really that suspect as a source of showing its age over time? I too am really tempted to keep the $3,300, but the all-black interior is so dark, so aggressive, almost menacing to some tastes? I trust the textile, but not so much this all-dark decor - does anyone...

    Seats / Color Combinations

    I did not realise a major difference between cream and white - the cream comes with cream headliner and mats, whereas in the white these are black. The black textile saves $3,300 but then you have an all-dark interior. My choice is between this and the white.... what to do? If I choose the...

    Seats / Color Combinations

    Hi, just ordered my model S and am having second thoughts about interior seat and color combo choices. Here are the priorities: 1. Car exterior will be Blue. Am in north NJ where we get it cold in winter and real HOT in summer. Previous cars (non-E) have always had leather seats, cream. A...
