My X was a nine month nightmare. 1) The excessively deep windshield made it a greenhouse/hothouse that caused the AC to blast unsuccessfully, creating cold drafts and still overheated seating areas. 2). The middle row seat requires locking in the rear-most position, so my toddler grandchildren were very uncomfortable in the third row; no adults there at all. 3) The main screen froze every couple of weeks such that I had to leave vehicle at dealer as they replaced it entirely. 4) I bought the extended range option to get 230 miles between charges—-I was told by salesman—then on delivery in Dedham MA I was emphatically told not to charge beyond 80% or I would damage batteries. 5) Final straw of betrayal by Tesla: when I tried to get Tesla to repurchase it after 9 months so I could buy a conventional vehicle with sufficient range, the dealer and company rep said they no longer honored their promise because .the corporation was short of capital”. I sold my $120,000 nearly new vehicle to a BMW dealer for only $80,000 and was lucky to get that. My other offers were $65,000 with dealers saying if Tesla won’t buy it with so many faults, why should I risk it? In sort, a car built by engineers with to little design experience, sold with false promises, and not backed up. Never again.

1. The windscreen has pros and cons. Personally I think the pros outweigh the cons. Whenever I get into other cars they just seem so claustrophobic.
2. I agree the third row seems best for small adults and children. I have the five seater so I don't have hands on experience with it, though.
3. Some cars will always have issues. That doesn't make it a design problem. My main screen has never frozen.
4. The sales person shouldn't have phrased it that way. It's not that you *damage* the batteries as such, you just have slightly more degradation. It's pretty easy to get good battery life - just charge to 100% whenever you need it and 80% the rest of the time.
5. What promise?

You may have gotten more if you had bothered to follow up on your for sale post. Why the sudden triple posting of your problems from April?
We come and see these post once in while. People with no history on this forum and who are complaining about a recently purchased Tesla. This without proof or background information....

OP is a spammer. Only posts on the site are a copy and paste from the original. He should have just said Tesla sucks and moved on.
