Hello Model X Canada,
Just picked up my X 60D yesterday in Toronto. Glad to have the collective experience of Model X Canada, and everywhere else, to ask questions if needed.
Best,

Love driving my Model X in the snow! Feel very safe and in total control, even though I just have the all standard 20" seasons tires and not winter tires. We got some snow in Vancouver last week/this week and driving around has been fun. I didn't do anything crazy, kept speeds appropriate for weather conditions, and made sure I had lots of room around me for braking etc. No problems at all. Traction is great, wheels never slipped even when starting up hill. Braking is great as well, as usual the regen took care of most of the slowing down and I only tapped the brakes to come to a dead stop. The only time I slide was when I did it on purpose, e.g. accelerating mid-turn on road that's covered in ice - don't do this with other cars / people / obstacles around .

I have the winter package - the heated steering wheel and heated wipers are great! Also figured out that I have to press the windshield defroster twice to make it heat as previously I complained it wasn't defrosting fast enough. Well, turns out - if you press it once it's blue, which I assume cools. If you press it again, it turns red.

I also have the air suspension, so it's really cool to be able to raise the car to get through deeper sections. Seems the car will also use GPS location to automatically raise/lower the car based on your previous settings.

One thing I did notice, the headlights get covered in snow pretty easily. I guess it's because the LED lights don't generate heat? Also the rear view camera gets dirty pretty easily, and I find myself wiping it constantly.

60D, Six seat, plain white, white interior. Kid proof, right?!!
Pretty good in the snow. Winter tires coming in early Jan. I did get the ABS to kick-in on a stop, and had some understeer going into a snowy, slushy corner last night. No biggie, but its not too hard to overcome the all-seasons in the snow.

I think winter tires will make a huge difference in deep snow

What does everyone think of the MX service plan? Looks like the 4 year plan is the only option (at $3100) and thats only a $275 savings over paying for each service individually - unless those prices go up. Prices seem high for the work that has to be done.

I'm opting to skip the plan, and not looking forward to $700 for my first service...

I agree it's not much of a saving right now... but I think I'll go for its as it will lock in the prices for four years, and I'm betting those will go up...

I'll likely get it since I'm keeping the X for a while. And yea it might go up not down.

No point getting the service plan, year 1 and year 3 aren't anything?

Year 2 and 4 are the only years they change fluids and do something on the car. Outside of that everything is warrantable anyways.

My X is at RPM getting the Blackvue and radar detector installed that was removed from my S that was traded into Tesla. Dropped off this morning and should have it back tomorrow.
