Beautiful X! I so want to see one of these in person.
Need to calibrate it perhaps? See "Front Door Windows Calibration" in the first post here: Model X Reset Techniques

Zapped got me thinking about car shows this weekend... anyone interested in heading to Sylvan Lake for a Stollery Childrens Hospital fundraiser show and shine (Saturday)?

Ok, so I got an email invitation to the Gigafactory Grand Opening! Booked flights this morning and have a +1. Will take photos! Looking forward to seeing the Model 3 in person (and maybe going for a ride!). I heard there is at least one other from Calgary going - anyone else from Alberta we should meet up in Reno.
Good luck taking photos! Would definitely like to see some sexy factory shots. I don't need any more 3 pics. The wait is killing me enough as is.

So four of us are down in Reno about to go to the Gigafactory Opening party - yesterday we went to the Factory in Freemont and they allowed all of us to go on the Factory Tour last minute - THANK YOU TESLA!! What a trip!! The factory was amazing with so much production going on and the tour guide was great. I had only seen two Model X in the wild - I've now seen HUNDREDS!

Nice! Boats are typically so noisy, I've always thought it would be nice to cruise in silence in a speedboat. Did you do the conversion yourself or have someone else do it? Was the motor like a drop-in bolt-on replacement or was there a lot of work required to make it fit?
Thank you! I did do the conversion myself. I had a blast doing it. The motor is a twin 3 Phase AC motor from HPEVS. Here is a link:
Electric AC Motor Oil Cooled Dual Motor
It was not exactly a drop-in. Not really too bad. I had to have two adapters made, a coupler and a change to the front mount. If your interested in more details, here is a link to a walk-a-round that describes much of the components involved.

My wife's car was parked outside on the street instead of in the garage where she normally parks, however it appears unscathed. I'm not sure if the softer aluminium of the Model S would have done as well (I'm also quite sure I didn't want to test it!)
I was in Calgary at the time. We were just coming back from Banff and stopped at Cross Iron Mall. We were in the Mall when it started. My Model S was thankfully unscathed
. The rain was really coming down hard on the return trip and autopilot was surprisingly still available, although I didn't use it until the rain had calmed down, by that time we were about 30mins out from Red Deer.

Awesome work! The high RPM of boats results in a lot of noise, vibration, pollution, and poor fuel economy. I remember with my family's 20' Larson, we'd need some 20-30 liters per hour of boating. That makes it very expensive. Looks like you get about an hour out of the batteries. How many kWh of capacity do you have? How much did it cost you? How long did it take you to make the conversion?
Thank you, skrenes. 32kWh capacity. The conversion cost around $20,000. It took 3 months. Thanks again.
