    90D Motor whine?

    Mine is over 6k miles and still has a very slight whine around 52-56mph. I get the impression the car wants to go faster and is kind of complaining about it. Having said that, the EV whine IS a thing, you hear it insanely loudly on a Leaf for example. And on a S90D loaner it was so loud I...

    Regen braking to stop? (similar to BMW i3)

    I just watched a Bolt test drive video which has a separate "gear" selection for 'regen to full stop.' I guess that is how they are handling those drivers that don't trust themselves to remember where the brake pedal is...

    Is anyone else hating the auto door open upon keyfob unlock?

    Opening the front door when unlocking is wrong for me nearly every time it happens. I already have & use auto-present; when I use unlock (fob double click), it's to let someone into a passenger door / FWD. @Telsa Please remove this unwanted, uncontrollable linked feature!!

    Removing Middle Seat from 7-seat Configuration

    I'm also 6'2" and there is a clear obstruction, but after a few weeks of driving I've learned to shift my head slightly to get a good look in the rear view mirror. Not ideal but workable for now. Having said this, clearly the middle row is hugely deficient in functionality, and I look forward...

    Regen braking to stop? (similar to BMW i3)

    How many stops does one come to EVERY trip? I would prefer a gentle stop without having to depress the brake pedal, even if it takes a small amount of energy, as it very much simplifies the driving experience. On the shifter design, I would argue that while Tesla's shifter is a bit old school...

    Tesla LTE

    Totally agree, and this seems a highly likely thought process for 2012. Looking ahead to a possible future where TM charges for mobile access, it would also make sense to allow customers to select a provider-of-choice. And I wouldn't pay for the current quality of connection I get, browsing is...

    How would you like to see the Auto Pilot improved?

    My list: 1. Slow down sooner. This is inconsistent, like I have nice easy stops when approaching stopped vehicles far in front, but if a car moves out of my way, the X tries to speed up to hit my TACC speed, not seeming to notice the vehicles fully stopped only a short distance away. It's like...

    3rd Row Seats Replaced: New Unlatching Procedure?

    3rd row movement still needs work. My wife is 5' and cannot reach the shoulder button to raise the seats, it's a long process of opening FWDs and raising from within the car. They need a strap that unlocks & allows lift from seat backs.

    Tesla LTE

    30% faster than AT&T on average (downlink), faster than VZ too but not by as much: T-Mobile edges out Verizon for fastest LTE network, according to Ookla Ookla is a current, crowd-sourced, independent speed tester. They also test stuff for router companies so they know what they're allowed to...

    Tesla LTE

    Also at walk through I was told they didn't allow us to replace the AT&T SIM with our own SIM, which would be a problem if they decide to require a cost for the service in the future. AT&T is much slower that T-Mobile in most places nationally, but I understand AT&T pretty much gives away the...

    Model X: Average Wh/mile Tracker

    I'd say high 300s, haven't really found my stride yet. I'm four weeks in and still randomly taking ludicrous jaunts whether or not I have passengers. I have also been thinking about the AP and how it still seems to stop way too late, making me very concerned about people who are tailgating me...

    Settings of car while tinting

    This is correct, my driver side window was going up over the trim by a full inch when I got the car back, you can re-calibrate on your own, see Wiki here: Model X Reset Techniques I actually used a different process to re-calibrate, but the Wiki method is simpler. Here's mine: Window Tinting...
