    This truck design had better be a joke....

    Exactly. I also felt, like many, that the Model 3 front looked fugly when first revealed. Now I wish my X had a similar front. I love the look. I think the stainless steel frame also gives the Cybertruck a somewhat unpolished look. Imagine how much nicer it’ll be in other colors or with a nice...

    Going with 4 seats - no second row

    not to mention less headroom

    Light headliner is gone

    Yeah. Makes the car so much more open and airy. There’s a reason why we don’t paint ceilings dark colors.

    Custom Aero Covers

    This is awesome. Would love to implement a similar thing for my Model X, and am curious how this version compares to your first as far as efficiency benefits go. Finding a more attractive alternative to the zipper would be preferable too

    Upgraded V2 Supercharger - Do 75D cars benefit?

    That’s exactly what I’m seeing in practice. My max rate has consistently been 112-113kW at several supercharging stations since the update

    2019.12.1 update

    March 2018 Model X 75D with MCU2. Was fortunate to have gotten version 2019.12.1.2 the night before a big 1000+ mile road trip. Happy to say I consistently get 112kW charge rate when the battery is in the 20-30% soc range. Even stays above 100kW up to 40%. I can charge from 25-75% in only 25...

    Any discernible difference in range?

    Model X Phone Key via Bluetooth

    After I went to keyless entry for my house, it’s so nice not carrying around a keychain and metal keys in my pocket. Would love to eliminate the Tesla fob. And once cards and cash are a thing of the past, I’ll only need carry a phone with me for all my needs.

    Supercharger V3 - 0 to 80% in 20 mins?

    Right. Between this faster rate and preconditioning, we should all benefit from faster charge times, even on V2 chargers. Their press release mentions the S and X receiving a firmware update to unlock faster charging rates in the coming weeks

    FSD to 2K

    Sweet. Thanks for the heads up. Took the plunge myself
  13. O

    FSD Upgrade

    Exactly. Completely irrational to buy now, when you get nothing for it, and then have to worry about trying to get the $1k back. Save the money and earn interest on it until it's corrected to $2k and you can actually benefit from buying it.

    Wheels and range reduction...

    With all the discussion of this thread, it would be nice if we knew of a set of lightweight 20" (or even 19") wheels and tires that we knew provided a material benefit in range over the OEM 20" setup. I really wish Tesla offered wheels caps for the S and X (much like the 3) to improve...

    Lost heating after SW update

    The heat, especially for the rear (including those with the 6/7-seat option that includes separate heating element for the back), is awful on the Model X. One of, if not my biggest complaint (and of my rear passengers) of the car. Took it to service to have them look into it and was basically...

    Trak 4x4 Snow Chains

    Currently on sale at Amazon.co.uk. Goes for $345 USD shipped to the US. About $100 cheaper than buying from Tesla. https://www.amazon.co.uk/MAGGI-Trak4x4LT51-Snow-Chains-Trak/dp/B002TKLDHI

    A weekend of interior/exterior mods (chrome delete, etc.)

    I'd suggest you opt for a keyless touchpad lock for your house. I've been using one for over a year and never carry keys around with me. It's so liberating! haha. Now it's just a phone, wallet, and my key fob in my pocket. So no silly fob cover to worry about. I long for the day when I can...

    What will you name your Model X?

    Oops. I meant to say "A Car Has No Name"

    What will you name your Model X?

    Yeah, I’m not one to name his car, so went with “A Car With No Name” (GoT reference)

    Model X windshield tint

    I'm looking for a shop in the PNW or NorCal that can install a light tint to the Model X windshield for heat rejection. Spectra Photosync 75 is a common choice, but would be just as happy with the relatively recent Xpel Prime XR Plus (which has similar heat rejection properties). Only shops I...

    Window tin group buy in San Diego

    wish I could find something like this in Oregon, Washington, or Northern California. Not sure it makes sense for me to drive 2000 miles round trip to save a $500 on tint

    Fair price for full vehicle tint

    Do you know what shop and film they use? I have friends down there and may seriously consider just making a road trip of it and coming down there

    Fair price for full vehicle tint

    $850 included the hatch back window? Not too bad. I'm having a hell of a time finding anyone that can tint the windshield in the Portland, OR area. I'd love to be able to get it done for $400. Only couple places I've come across that can, use the Spectra Photosync film and charge in excess of...

    Affordable, Lightweight 19" Forged Wheels for Model X?

    Hi, I'm after improving my range and would like to look into replacing the factory 20" rims with 19" non-staggered lightweight, forged wheels. I like the idea of the non-staggered setup, as I could potentially keep a spare tire in the trunk, but more importantly I'm after lightweight wheels for...

    QI Wireless Phone Charging

    This is the one I ordered. Qi Wireless Charger PCBA Circuit Board With 3 Coil Wireless Charging Pad DIY 2A | eBay Hopefully the PCB isn't too wide. Though this one may be better since the microUSB header is on its own tiny PCB that's wired to the main PCB. This would allow you to place that...

    QI Wireless Phone Charging

    Yeah, I figured you were just using that photo to show how it would fit width wise, even if you wouldn't mount it on that side of the lid. Ah, I see. I just bought a 3 coil qi charger on ebay that has the coils connected to the long side of the PCB, so you could potentially have the coils...

    QI Wireless Phone Charging

    Thanks for sharing this, as I'd like to attempt this mod myself. Your picture of the 3 coil seems to show it on the wrong side of the lid. But then again, it looks like you have two different types of qi charger pcbs? One with the pcb mounted directly under the coils and the other off to the...

    Tesla Plans Software Update to Cater to Campers

    While we're at it, have that 12V circuit come regulated off of the main battery pack, so that you don't risk draining the 12V battery.

    iPhone X phone calls (no sound & ppl can't hear me)

    In recent weeks my friends have complained about echoing on their end (as they hear their voice echo). As soon as I switch to the phone’s speaker (and not through the Tesla Bluetooth) the echoing goes away. Very annoying that I cannot use my car’s mic/speaker

    Firmware 9.0 Features Wishlist!

    a few things off the top of my head. 1.) ability to customize the quick access icons on the bottom of the screen. No reason why there should be heated seat icons during hot summer months, when I could change it to something more useful like the ability to quickly change from recirculating mode...

    Non-PUP X Owners: Would You Upgrade to Self-Presenting Doors?

    If they can retro-fit the winter package, I’d certainly pay for that. Have zero interest in self lreeenting doors which can be more a nuisance and risk than anything.

    7-seat floor mats for cars built after 8/22/2017?

    I received my a couple weeks ago too, and I found them to be rather flimsy. Certainly not as thick and rugged as the front row mats. And also a pain that they don't come with velcro or any other way to keep it attached to the floor.

    Looking to compare prices for full windshield tint on west coast

    I'm looking to do a full windshield tint using Spectra Photosync 75 or similar, and the only place that I have found that offers this in the Portland, Oregon area charges an absurd $1600. I'd be interested to know what others have paid on the West Coast, even as far as southern California...

    Tesla sent an email about new interior trim

    Nice. I'm glad you're enjoying the white seats. I haven't had any problems keeping the headliner clean, as it's never really touched. Granted I don't have kids, but do have a crazy yellow lab and many obnoxious friends haha.

    Remove fog light housing in order to chrome delete accents?

    Curious if anyone’s been able to remove the fog light housing so that the chrome strips that sit under the clear fog light covers can be wrapped in black vinyl to “chrome delete” them. Most people just chrome delete the part that extends outside of fog light housing, which I think looks worse...

    Updated autopilot sucks!

    I agree with the points you made. I was just trying to make the point that it's not as simple as saying, let people use auto-pilot however they see fit, as they will assume all of the risk. There are laws that prohibit speeding and phone use while driving, which are the examples you gave...

    Updated autopilot sucks!

    But you also risk the lives of others on the road. There in lies the problem. This isn't like wearing a seat belt or not, which should be up to the driver as it does not impact anyone but him or herself.

    Control heated seats w/ app w/o PUP?

    yeah, good point. I suppose it's pretty instant. But in that moment, as I was just a few minutes away from the trail head and my Model X from a cold hike in the snow, I was hoping to have that cabin and seats nice and toasty.

    All weather floor mats - 7 seat configuration

    1.5 months ago I emailed WeatherTech and I was told that the new 7-seat mats would be available in roughly 4 weeks. Emailed them again late last week and they didn't have any new information and basically told me to hang tight. So hopefully soon

    this weekend I preheated the cabin of my 2.5 month old Model X using the iOS app for the first time when up in the mountains. That much worked, but I couldn’t seem to enable the heated seats through the app. While I don’t have the cold weather package included through PUP, I figured I’d be able...

    All Weather Mats

    Hmm? Doesn't look anything like the OEM. These are poorly stitched pleather from China. I think they have their place in the frunk or cargo area (where I have them), as cheaper alternatives to the OEM mats. But get durable, rubber mats for where passengers will be sitting. Unless you view mats...

    any way to remove the fog light “lens” or clear covers so I can blackout the chrome that’s behind them? Thanks!
