    The Future of EV Home Charging and the Grid

    Man, this thread is full of snide remarks! That is really unfortunate. This is an interesting subject to all of us---let's give each other the benefit of the doubt and try to increase the total amount of knowledge on the subject. I would only like to add this video I came across a few months...

    Charging on NEMA 5-15 @ 0F (-17C)

    I don't have experience charging that cold, but I know your charging speed is going to depend on the temperature of the battery. The best advice I could give is to begin charging as soon as you arrive and your battery is hopefully warm. This way you will be able to charge at 4 miles per hour at...

    Buying used Model 3?

    Price seems a bit high considering you are likely still eligible for the 7500 tax credit if you order in the next few days. Assuming you are in USA. I would ask for records for the repair. Maybe call up the repair shop and ask if they've worked on Tesla before and such .

    Mountain Driving Experience

    I did acquaint myself with plugshare. I had no idea that ChaDemo was able to charge so quickly; still wishing for a more universal charging standard. At the end of the day I was able to find a 110 outlet by the lodge. Despite the cold I was able to charge at 3 and sometimes 4 mph overnight...

    Mountain Driving Experience

    It was the weekend of 1/13/17. A record snowfall got dumped into the Portland, OR area, and simultaneously causing amazing skiing conditions at Mt Hood Meadows. It was time to put this baby (Model X 60, 6 seater, Titanium Silver) to the test! Packing the car for my wife and 3 children was a...

    Will You Be Disappointed If Prod X Reservations don't start shipping for 6 Months?

    I consider this an extremely unlikely possibility. I personally wouldn't mind any extra delay in taking possession of my car, but I would be bothered by Tesla's hypothetical inability to execute. This is hypothetical right? Hello? OP? Philip

    New Car Price Premium Speculation

    In the very early days of Model S sales, when the order to delivery times were close to a year, delivered Model S rocket-ships sold for a premium over the actual build price. Are we likely to see this phenomenon repeat itself? For how long? Philip

    Hard time waiting

    Agreed +AnxietyRanger. Always good to sleep on it, maybe for more than one night. In regards to buyer's remorse, a buyer theoretically felt comfortable with the product at the time of purchase. It's the same thing with smartphones. There is always something better almost immediately after...

    Hard time waiting

    Yes of course, guess why I'm lurking here every day. I too can lament about the long wait. I have waited quite long, being in the signature 200s. Adding yet another child (third) to my family has encouraged me to keep waiting for the vehicle perfectly suited for my situation. It's almost...

    Can we see/hear/stream today's press conference?

    I haven't seen anything; maybe the announcement will be delivered via another cryptic tweet!

    Model X Support Group

    I'm slowly going crazy waiting for this vehicle. I'm an early sig in the 200s. Waiting this long for a car is simply unheard of and tests the limit of any person. I'm beginning to question whether I'm actually in some type of GroundHog-Day scenario where the car will never come, and I will be...

    Leaf Lease Matures in April. What to do till X comes?

    Thanks all and adiggs, this seems to be the most logical to me as well. I think I'll wait to renew the lease until the last possible moment, in the hopes that some official communication will reveal an early summer production, allowing me to end the lease. Perhaps wishful thinking but I can't...

    Leaf Lease Matures in April. What to do till X comes?

    I'm not against a car for the short term, but when I buy a Tesla it will be for the long term due to the higher price. There are two reasons why I'm not in the market for the S. First it doesn't suit our needs, I need room for 3 toddlers minimum + additional room for adults would be nice...

    Leaf Lease Matures in April. What to do till X comes?

    I'm a signature in the 200s. Right now I drive a Nissan Leaf, and I must return it in mid April. I could extend my lease another year, or I could rent a car for however many months it takes to get the X. Naturally, I had assumed I'd have the X at the latest by April when I initiated the lease...

    Model X Reservation #...Anyone interested?

    Model X Delayed until Q3 2015

    As an early signature holder, this is disappointing, but ultimately won't affect my decision to keep my reservation. How do the rest of you feel? Will you be abandoning your reservation? This news from latest shareholder letter. Philip

    Model X Timeline - From Prototype to Production

    Yeah that would actually be perfect for me since the lease of my leaf ends in April 2015 and I'm in the low 200s for the signature. Would be perfect timing. Philip

    Model X Timeline - From Prototype to Production

    Yep +ilovtesl I think you are spot on. I just asked some people at my local Tesla store and looks like they were recently communicated a February/March date for the start of signature deliveries. Philip Model X Signature

    Model X Tally

    I think it will take a while, and definitely not this year. I'm guessing summer of 2013, when the production is within sight. I hope that there won't be a premium on the signature like there was on the S for final cost. I'm not willing to pay a $10,000 premium just to get my hands on it first...

    How many are signed for PSE Green Power or similar?

    Won't sign up for that but I have signed up for the time of use program. This means I will pay 4.5 cents per KwH instead of over 10 at off peak times. I expect to charge the vehicle at night after 10pm as a result.

    Model X Tally

    Thank you Echodelta. It's very exciting. I have been following Tesla since the roadster, and now that I am committed my excitement has reached a new peak. I think I have read every last morsel about Tesla and the Model X on the internet. I hope that there will be some events in the pacific...
