After prior update my X would fail to start, requiring reboots of both center screen and instrument panel. Hope the new one fixed it!

Model X seats suck, not blow. And they do so very weakly, such that they are ineffective. Service center says no warrantee service, as the fan runs weakly.

And, still waiting, waiting, waiting. They promise info and never deliver. They say to expect a call on Friday for a firm install date, then a week after that Friday, still no call, no information. Terrible, aweful, very bad communications. They don't treat this like a serious part of the...

I Email the guy who most recently sent me emails about the powerwall. Every couple weeks I ping and get another not very useful response. Clearly Tesla has no clue when install will happen, does not have anything like enough people assigned to manage the existing orders, and does not understand...

Maybe we need to have a chat at the next stockholder meeting. Powerwall customers don't seem to be important. This reinforces my previous bad experiences with solar city.

Nope. Waiting a month now. Crickets. No response to my emails either.

It would be great if they did anything. They don't in my car, or in pretty much anyone else's. Do you actually have them in your model X or are you expressing a general opinion based on other cars?

Ventilated seats in the Model X are not very good. The fan sucks air into the seat, it does not blow. The air is cabin air, not cooled air. And the air movement and effect is below the threshold of perception. Be glad.

Of course. Unless they are subcuticular.

Usually let the house staff close. :-).

My prediction, for what it's worth, is that all Model Xs and all Refresh Model S will be able to upgrade to AP 2.0 for a flat $8,000. We know the X has the wiring for the second camera. We know the refresh S has a redesign of many key front end parts, not just the fascia. So it makes sense...

Sort of like judging a surgeon by the prettiness of the suturing.

Not relevant. If your focus is fit and finish, buy a Toyota. You are paying $150 k for a practical high performance electric crossover with advanced technology. You got that - you are not having motor, autopilot, or battery issues. Those real issues do happen too. You can find owners who had...

Well, "worst built car"? Worse than the Trabant? The Renault Dauphine? (I owned a 1959 one. Oil change every 1500 miles, 0-60 in about 24 seconds. It even came with a crank.) I had a Grand Cherokee that randomly would just refuse to recognize the key. And a Ford where in three years the master...

Obviously it is not too hot. I spent decades in Southern California in the era where air conditioning was something in stores, not in houses. People and animals are quite able to live in that ambient temperature.
