I love Falcon Wing Doors because they are just so much easier to get in and out as well as so much better to load boxes, luggage...

We have an X100D for about ten months now. There were a couple of issues but I was expecting that. Tesla takes care of you and that matters.
I used to drive about 15000 km per year and the odometer now (after about ten months) is already at 33.000 km, In it ther was a road trip to San Fransisco, but still. Expect to drive more. If you bought the Tesla to save money, it really doesn't as you will spend it anyway. Like I said you will drive more and spend your money anyway at whatever place you are driving too.
Expect to get used to the brightness in the car, the fact that it has no engine sounds, the immediate reaction once you hit accelerator or let go of the acceleratior. You will learn to appreciate — you being "spoiled" with the Tesla experience — once you step into an ICE car again.
The fact that you never have to go to a gas station again is for me the biggest positive.
yes. planned supercharger sites. You can see the map yourself on Tesla.com/findus
To answer your question, CHADEMO is a fast charging standard used by Nissan leafs (mostly). It is half the speed of a Tesla supercharger but still faster than your regular public EV charger. You need a special adapter to make it work with your Tesla though.
Same here but we have made the plunge one year ago.
Our "backup" ICE was standing still for more than one year after we buy our first Tesla. Then we realize we need a second car (more drivers) but simply using our ICE was not an option... everyone fighting to NOT drive it so we got an X.
Thanks, so what you're saying is there's a "3rd" type of interface besides J-xxxxxx and Tesla's and it's used by Leaf mostly, but they are quite fast compare to J-standard but much slower than Tesla's 120?
do you have adapters for all types of chargers?
I do not have a CHADEMO adapter, I find it unnecessary since I live in the USA and there are superchargers left and right. A lot of CHADEMO stations are paid as well, and I wouldn't use that if I had the option of free supercharging.
There's also another fast charging standard (CCS) that is used by the Chevy Bolt and other newer EVs that Tesla doesn't use. A lot of those stations are paid as well. Honestly, Tesla's fast charging network is probably the best right now.
...I do worry a little if our garage's going to allow the FWDs fully extended and lifted....
...jam her hands...
I agree with you, if we had a model 3 it'd be a different story (2nd car?). From what I understand with a model X/S, we just park and plug, it's an unlimited lifetime thing right?
I do worry a little if our garage's going to allow the FWDs fully extended and lifted. Also we're unsure if it's safe for our 2 year old when the FWD are closing since they're all electric and I'm afraid she might jam her hands. As well as operation at underground low ceiling parking.
Hey - I wave in cold and angry MA to Tesla drivers. Half excitedly wave back and half look at me like I am from Mars. Just Sharin in the groove and spreading good vibes.Interesting you wave at each other. I have been thinking about when I had a motorcycle we would always wave to fellow riders. I wanted to start waving at tesla drivers.
Would you sell your "backup" ICE and maybe finance another Tesla? or there's no need for a second car in the household?
We’ve had EVs since 2010 but sold our last ICE car about 2 years ago. I have a 6 and 8 year old. Last year I was taking the kids to school and had put a couple empty Propane canisters in the back to get them filled. My younger daughter asked me what they were and why they were in the car. I told her I had to go to the gas station after I dropped them off so I could cook on the grill. She say “Oh okay... What’s a gas station?”That's good thinking! I do love to think not having to go to gas stations anymore and pumping every week.
Once you drove your Model X into your garage the first time, you might want to stand outside next to a Falcon Wing Doors and get your hand ready to stop them from hitting obstacles. From then on, the car would remember the GPS location to only extend its Falcon Wing Doors to such height.
if you bought your car with referral (which 99% of people did) then yes free lifetime supercharging as long as you own the car. However, if the supercharger is 50% or more full, you'll incur idle fees as soon as your car finishes charging.
But even with a model 3, supercharging will still be cheaper than gas. Saw on youtube a guy drove from California to Florida in his model 3 and it only cost $110 in supercharging. It would cost a lot more in gas in any other car, even a hybrid would look at over $300+
It's never been a problem with our 5 and 8 year old daughters. They do like to operate the closing buttons themselves though. Just make sure you switch on the child-locking option so they can't open the doors as you set off! Unless I'm 100% sure there is loads of space around I open the FWDs from the outside like you would with a normal door, so I can see and react as required. But it's nice being able to open and close them from the touchscreen when safe to do so. Like any car doors, you just need to pay attention. Our neighbour slammed her kid's hand in her car door once and the poor little thing ended up in A&E with broken fingers. It happens.
