Bonnie's Xcellent Adventure w/X Sig 2 - Config, Delivery, Roadtrip

I don't. (Inside joke)

Well, not THAT inside, and not any longer...

Let's say thanks: Pizza for the factory employees - Page 4

I'm also a fan of the thank you note. I sent one suitable for framing after my little mishap on your driveway :/

And I can tell you from firsthand conversations with those involved (except for The Rock), it was appreciated.

Great question.

Wipers go up at least as high as the visor position. But here's the cool thing: When I was driving & turned off the wipers briefly, I could watch the rain movement across the glass, reflected in headlights (nighttime). So basically, I was observing the flow of air over the glass. It was so cool! The water flowed exactly as you'd expect, given the aerodynamics of the car. Up and over, lots of vertical straight lines on the glass, with a few on the edges angled out and off.

And now I finally realize that I have met andrewket in person! Yelling like a crazy person trying to get him to stop in time...

Yes, there is a 12 V in the frunk

I inspected Bonnie's X frunk very closely on Sunday. I did not see a 12V outlet.
There is a 12V outlet in the X trunk.

I'm guessing without success.

Oh, loads of success - several people looked at me like I was nuts. And then at least two thought that I CAUSED the mishap by my yelling
:facepalm:

I now own orange traffic cones.

Funny thing is...Andrew, your the first person I thought of when I saw that picture.

Where is the Camera for Towing Mode?

I noticed that Bonnie’s Model X had the towing package, since it came with what looked like a 2” receiver in previous pictures. But on the website they show a roof mounted extra backup camera to see over the items that are towed. I don’t see the camera on Bonnie’s car. So Bonnie, do you have the towing package, and if so, is there an extra camera? Does it say towing package on the window sticker (can’t find any pictures of window sticker)?

I have the towing package. It's on my invoice. The receiver hardware is packaged up in the frunk. And the menu selections include 'Trailer Mode'.

Thanks for all the info shared Bonnie

Any chance you can visit http://whatsmyuseragent.com/ and let us know the specs? Would like to see if the screen has higher resolution than Model S. Would you say the PPI appears better than the Model S?

Picture of Tow Mode Camera?

That's interesting. What happens when you put it in trailer mode? Does the reverse/backup camera show a different picture? I don't have my configuration page available any more, but found this on the internet:

If you look at the picture in post 806, it's pretty clear Bonnie's X does not have a camera mounted in the place it is mounted on the car in your picture.

Yes, as I mentioned upthread, I saw that too and that's the reason for my post. I wonder if they have a hidden camera, or they did away with the camera? I though it was a good deal for the towing package if it included an additional camera.

For one thing I suspect the rear sensors don't freak out that someone is tailgating you!

 

[farzyness]

Bonnie - is it too early to give us your early impressions? Were your expectations met? Below? Above?

Gosh, there are a lot of us in this thread who were present when The Rock leapt out and got Andrew. The aftermath of which incident was one of those above-and-beyond Tesla Service stories we love to tell...

For us uninitiated on the East Coast, is there a link we could read up on it. From what I gather, Andrew backed into Bonnie's Roadster at a gathering. But it sounds like the devil is in the details or the story loses much in summation.
