Vin 0062x pickup in Tampa 12/23 at 6pm

@MaxK, Thank you for all the pics and videos. In delivery video 3 of 3 your son, I presume, got hit with the falcon door when it was closing down. I'm surprised for lack of sensors to prevent that. Would you care to share details on how it happened and and/or it was a user error?

MaxK---

Can you please share your thoughts on driver seat comfort? Can headrests be positioned properly for tall/short people?

@MaxK
Yo ! Max. Can I share your videos on the official Tesla forums. Some of the guys there don't check TMC. They might be happy watching your videos. I will tell them to check your user name on YouTube to find all X related videos. Offcourse, only if you permit it.

 

[MaxK]

Beautiful, Max! I'm glad to see another person with 20's. What kind of tires did yours ship with?

They are ContiCrossContact™ LX Sport
Front: 265/45 R 20
Rear: 275/45 R 20

He did not get hit by the door. He did walk under it while it was closing, but stepped back out. The door may have stopped on it's own, but he stepped out before it could. He does later demonstrate the sensors stopping the door from the outside by placing his hand in front of the door and it stops.

Yes, feel free to share my pictures and videos.

Hi Max,

Congratulations on your recent delivery. Beautiful car.

Thanks for the photos and videos.

Since you're waiting on a part any chance your DS said anything similar to this?

"User ptsagcy is also claiming that "according to one DS", Tesla will shut down Production once the Sigs are made, and make some tooling adjustments which they've uncovered with the Sigs"

 

[andrewket]

Thanks for confirming the make/model of the tires.

I have not heard anything to confirm that rumor.

It would seem illogical for Tesla to be aware of issues in their manufacturing process (I don't know that they are aware of any), but wait until they produce 1,200 +/- cars to fix any issues identified early on.

The change from Sig to Production does, in itself, not require a tooling change as the cars are the same. Therefore, a process update would be better timed to early rather than later to prevent rework in the SCs.

The difference is sig models are still semi-hand built. There are likely things that will need to be done when the car is 100% built on the production line.

Here is confirmation of the X charging at 72A:

But still says /80? Hmmmm.

But still says /80? Hmmmm.

Likely a hard-coded element of the UI that hasn't been updated yet. Static text or text updated between 40 and 80 depending on the presence of a charger capable of doing more than 40A (dual in the S, single high current in the X)

Source? We have reports that "every other car" on the line is an X which is how they're built. Sounds like they're getting a lot of checking and tweaking afterwards however.

Are you sure they are the Sport and not the Sport SSR? I ask because your picture clearly shows they are M+S rated and the regular Sport version of the tire doesn't carry that rating, but the SSR version does. At least according to the info I can find on Tirerack.

Thanks!

But still says /80? Hmmmm.

Our Sig X charges at 72A as well via the HPWC. On our S it charges at the full 80. Yes, the UI still does show the 80 "max" but under no circumstances does it presently exceed 72A.

 

[andrewket]

But still says /80? Hmmmm.

That's accurate. The pilot signal from the HPWC is offering up to 80A.

The second number is not the max the car will charge at. It's the maximum that the EVSE is capable of delivering.

Good point.

Wow, Max! Thanks so much for sharing The videos! So much cool info in them. I am a little awestruck by your dedication as evidenced in the videos by (1) your hospital wristband, and (2) "The Bloody Tissue"! Reminded me a bit of Curt Schilling's bloody sock in the World Series! Bravo, tough guy!

P.S. Did you ever get your model X out of submarine mode.... Or are you still stuck at 20,000 leagues under the sea.... ?

Checking and tweaking qualifies as semi-hand built. Cars still ran though the line but certain parts need manual installation or adjustment. The line shut down and update in January was mentioned somewhere but I couldn't remember where I saw it.

After some of the issues incurred with my 2013 S, I'm waiting to buy a 2017 X. Give them a solid year to remedy any identified issues... I still want one, just think I'm now on my 3rd charge port...
