I posted the comments below in reply to a potential new owners question on Facebook earlier this evening. I decided to post here to see if anyone here on TMC is having a similar experience. Actually also hoping this is seen by a concerned exec at Tesla and the poor customer service I have...

Excellent work! And thank you VERY MUCH! Sure wish you were employed at Tesla Motors.

Wife has noticed that our X dome lights are frequently on while the car is parked in dark garage with no key fob nearby. Doesn't happen consistently. Is this a bug? Or, maybe a feature? Maybe it is detecting motion nearby and turns the light on? Firmware V 8.0 2.40.21

Anyone seeing more activity here?

Great News.

I think you are missing the fact that this camera should be installed with an "always on" power source. So, while it might take 35 seconds to boot, once it is installed, I will always be recording.

Installed 2.32.100 last evening and yes, the FWD's are now working as designed. The site ev-fw.com is great for keeping up with what updates are out.

Charged at LAFAYETTE several times. I've only seen other Teslas once or twice.

EV Firmware tracker updates to 7.1 have slowed, so I'm betting on 8.0 firmware.

Truly outstanding guide! Now we need someone at this level to do the same with a Model X!

I did set mine to not open fully, to keep the spoiler from hitting the garage door when it's open. After banging my head for the umpteenth time, I am really hoping that a future software update offers some fix. 1. Let's put the spoiler down when the car is in park. This will clear the way...

I am finding that "Tune In" is a crystal clear replacement for the poor AM radio I had in my Model S.

Excellent idea and should be easily implemented.

Here you go....

Hank, Just wanted to share that I was also a Valentine detector devote...I own three of them. That is until I was forced to buy the Escort 9500ci in order to get something to work in my 2013 Model S. Suffice it to say that the Escort is the best detector I've ever used. I think you would be...

The UMC that came with my X will open the charge port on my 2013 Model S, but not the X. Not really an issue, I just give the front portion of the port door a slight push and it pops open. Also, I love the self closing feature on the X.

Thanks for the replays. SC found a small leak and repaired. While they had the X they fixed some other small issues that they noticed and went out of their way to get the X back to me quickly. GREAT service! DW

My wife noticed a small puddle of blue fluid on the garage floor when I backed out the day after we received the car. I called our service center to see if they had an idea what it could be. They suggested washer fluid. Fast forward a couple days and I started receiving "vehicle coolant low"...

Picked up the X last Thursday. I have been having similar problems with charge port. Port door won't open, lock pin not opening, seems like plug won't seat properly. I have rebooted with no improvement. Finally got it to charge last night but this morning I went to increase the charge % to...

My DS at Villa Park, Illinois SC assured me that my 20" wheels would come with all season tires. Picking the X up tomorrow afternoon, so we will see.

Also received the email with payment total. Sales tax calculation is at a higher rate than my 2013 Model S. Looks like I am paying Chicago tax rate this time and paid my local rate in 2013. The only difference is that my 2013 S was delivered to my home (what happened to that unbelievable...

Just received the same form letter.

My wife and I have been vacationing in Ft. Myers and have stopped by the supercharger a couple of times hoping to catch a glimpse of an X. Our P90DL should be coming of the line this week....for delivery at Chicago Villa Park SC.

Checked with my DS and he confirmed that the 20" wheels I ordered on my P90DL will have all seasons mounted.

Many thanks for taking the time to video and post! My production X is (per my DS) to be among the first batch of regular production units and I'm anxious to take delivery. But after watching your demo with the golf bag, I'm a little worried now that I may not be able to get my three golf...

At 62 years young, I don't really feel like I really fit the thread title....but, reading of your early computer experiences really got me reminiscing. I think my first experience with computing was about 1971 at the University of Illinois, using the PLATO computer system. Don't remember many...

Covered by warranty?

+1 Excellent suggestion.

I'm just about ready to upgrade the cart I use at my local club. Seems like someone should be ready to market a cart with Lithium batteries by now. Anyone have any info?

Same here.

Well....I have res#6894 and would love to trade that for a Signature res. My wife absolutely loves the Sig Red. Don't really need the performance but would still enjoy it. And, it's always good to keep my bride happy. Cash is ready to go...

@wk057...do you have a source for a BMS? I like your idea and might give it a try.

I just canceled my decades old subscription to WSJ.

@wk057....I've been reading your posts for several months now and just wanted to say "Thank You!" Your project is inspirational and your personal talent and energy level must be off the charts. I would aspire to follow in your foot steps, if I were younger. Thanks for sharing. Dennis

Sounds like the parking brake is sticking. I've seen this happen sometimes when it is parked after driving in rain. I've deduced that the small park brake caliper seems to "stick" to the rotor.

Likely just that EPA hasn't tested yet.

Is it just my aging eyes, or is there a badge that has been blurred out on the lower right portion of the hatch?

I hope my envy of your project motivates me to get moving on similar! Thanks for the updates.

@Bazerkly My P85 is about 2 years old now. Last year the little pop up fabric wind deflector frame broke and was replaced. Also had a wind noise at high speeds. I believe that there was a service bulletin on the wind noise and some sort of clip was added to solve the problem. I now have...

I installed the Michelin PS3's on 19" Rial Lugano's new in Winter 2013. They seemed very good that winter. We even drove from Chicago to Florida through some very intense weather (northern route via Northern Indiana, Washington D.C. and down east coast since superchargers were still rare...

Totally agree!

This is a pic of nav when I was exiting Country Club Hills supercharger to go southbound on I 57. This is just one example of the MANY times Tesla nav has presented very convoluted directions. I think Tesla should just implement Waze and quit burning valuable time trying to reinvent navigation.

I put the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 on 19" Rial Lugano rims at the beginning of last winter. Put about 7,000 miles on last year and had about 6/32" of tread left when I put them back in service this winter. So, my wear has not been that bad, but I'm having a real problem with the noise these...

As I was leaving yesterday, the door went up just fine, backed out of the garage and the door would not go down. I got out and walked in to manually close the door. When I arrived back home, the door opened and closed normally and has worked correctly since. This is the first problem I have...

My P85 connects to a buffalo router using WPA2 Personal with 8 digit pass.

I'm at 25,000 miles after 20 Months. "A" pack shows 230 Miles rated at 90%.

Sure does.

Try holding down both scroll wheels until the Tesla "T" comes on the screen. Sometimes this takes more than 60 seconds.

+1 Ground breaking project! Can't wait to read your next update.
