Question on that lug nut cover set: Can it fit any lug nut or just the OEM nuts? I have Gorilla lock nuts on my wheels right now. Thanks for the help, well done! Tweak

Tesla Motors Inc (TSLA) Model X Accelerates Autonomously And Crashes Into Building Just read this story and I'm a bit suprised if this is even possible. I've driven over 1000 autopilot miles in the MX so far. This guy was a new driver, only 5 days old? I can't imagine it auto-accelerated...

My parents just took delivery of their 90D and it does indeed have an active spoiler that you can observe moving to a closed position during auto park or summon. Can't remember which one. Was also pleasantly surprised that the 90D w/o premium has the automatic doors with just pushing the door...

You can rent a Model S from Hertz as a luxury ride. Or perhaps even hourly from some places.

VIN: 50XX 90D Titanium 7 seat standard wheels (no premium) DS said 90D is shipping to Massachusetts now and expected delivery is late first week of May, early second week of May.

The Model S gets about 90 miles per gallon equivalent (33.7 kWh of electricity). The Model 3 is 20% smaller and perhaps as efficient, it may be more than efficient than this but lets just say the Model 3 will get 100 miles per gallon equivalent. So look at your electric bill and see how much...

Look for Scheduled Charging and set it to the time you want it to start charging everyday.

Parents 90D got their VIN today, #502X - May - Early June Titanium 20" Silver Wheels Tan Leather Seats Matte Obeche Dark Headliner Seven Seat Interior Autopilot

Here's what I've done for the MS so lets see if this works for you: Buy these hard plastic sheets. Amazon.com: Grafix Clear Craft Plastic .020 Thickness 12-Inch by 12-Inch, Pack of 4: Art Paper Products: Artwork Cut them to fit the area around your backup cam. Make sure it extends about an...

I have a rear wheel drive MS with the stock all seasons in Boston, where the last two winters are some of the worst on record. It handled 85+ inches of snow across three weeks without problem (feel free to google image Boston winter 2015). You do not need chains ever. I have chains that I...

On the MS, you can connect two hooks, each from separate car seats, onto the same LATCH. In this way, you can LATCH 3 child seats across the same row. Which begs the question, are the MX seats wider than the MS?

If so, we would love to see it. My parents are production reservation holders. Much thanks!

This is true and likely the case in California but on the east coast I've never encountered a situation where we couldn't supercharge and haven't even used a destination HPWC let alone fight for one. I do understand the volume is enormous in Cali but depending on where you are geographically...

48 amps = ~35 miles / hr 72 amps = ~52 miles / hr It's really not that big a deal when destination charging, particularly if you're sleeping at some inn.

Total +1, this is completely unfair, we should mass email ownership. My parents are 65+ they have no need for a 700+ hp SUV... this is for the lack of a better word... Ludicrous!

Total +1 on this one!

So if there is batch production going on, lets say based on paint color, we can begin to patch this together in the MX tracker if we can update with Res #, VIN # and color. Super exciting. My parents have a production reservation and are eagerly awaiting their X.

He didn't say non-P, the 90D will be available for production vehicles. The lower price point Xs he is referring to is the X equivalent of the 70D. Elon tweeted that the smaller battery Xs won't be out for about 1 year. The tweet is somewhere on the forums or you can just google it.

It is very easy to powder coat the wheels to the exact shade, sheen and gloss that you'd like.

Total +1 dude, great example. +1 to Smorg and ChadS too. Tesla needs as much positive cash flow as possible to build the gigafactory and conduct hopefully what will be far less R&D for the Model 3 (far far less, unless they are making a coupe and station wagon).

My condolences to those that wish to cancel, it must be a nerve wracking decision. Surely, this $300 option could help with transporting stuff and frankly would keep anything that big from scratching up the paint or interior of a $140,000 SUV. +1 Roamer (My parents are MX reservation holders)...

Total +1, my kids love stopping and help me plug in the car. It's a 20-30 minute stop every 150-200 miles or so. Not a big deal at all.

I was dropping my MS off at the service center and I asked Tesla when the MX would be in showrooms ready for a test drive. I was told by the two gentlemen that the Model X will be available in showrooms in Massachusetts (Natick and Dedham stores) in the second or third week of October. I was...

My sentiments exactly, most of the people speculating about the seats here have either forgotten about kids (and their huge car seats) or have never had kids. Or perhaps are just men commenting, this is a car designed for moms! If the magic of the seat is that it tilts forward that would be...

Yes, I charged today. Fully functional all 8 stalls. Lots of activity at the dealership, several people stopping by to order either the Model S or the X.

@mattmass, was wondering if it was you that we ran into at the Freedom Nissan last month heading to Boston from Montreal? We were in a red MS, it was kinda rainy and the dealership was having a BBQ. For the owners on this thread, the Fuji chargers failed for us both ways 100% (0/4 Red Hen...

Do you have a chademo adapter? If so I'd use the new chademo in the Prudential Center garage in Boston. I don't think you'd spend all weekend in Dorchester. If no adapter then there are a number of spots that you could charge at publically without going to even Watertown.

I don't have a house to trade but there are several locations in Cambridge where you'd be able to charge fairly easily depending on where you stayed. MIT and City of Cambridge parking lots have charging where you could top off fairly easily...

Get ready, the Factory is gearing up big time to handle the demand. Looks like Elon's comments of getting 1000 Model Xs / week in Q4 might be possible...

Model S does not need snow tiresI like several others on this forum have gone through back to back VERY tough winters in New England with my Model S with the stock all season tires. To put things in perspective for others in the world, in the last 3 weeks we've had storm(s) of 34+, 24, 20, 18...

Hooksett? ;-) WRJ / Lebanon (Nods head) =\ Swappable battery station in the Northeast Retrofitting current Model Ss with Auto-pilot

I'm planning to drive from Boston to NJ, so I'll pass by Auburn to check it out on the 31st. I'll be charging at the West Hartford site as well.

Any update on Hooksett? Any update on Hooksett? Thanks all to the informative posts on this thread. This station is so critical for the upcoming ski season. I'm hoping to get to Killington in a S60 from Boston. Killington does have destination charging at their Grand Lodge but it will be...

Cambridge Spots w/ free parking Yeah, so there are actually free spots in Cambridge just not that many of them. You can find these on Plugshare: 1) On the side of the Cambridge City Hall, there is a chargepoint reserved only for charging vehicles (free parking) Cambridge City Council Office...

Interesting would have thought they would try to install closer to the mall area but I guess this would be better to prevent any ICEing. This is such an important SC for coming back from NYC in the winter months in a MS60.

Landmark Center Parking Hi Santana, I work down the street from Childrens. 375 Longwood is the easiest but most expensive option (probably $30-40 per trip to park, maybe more) A cheaper option but a longer walk is Landmark Center 401 Park Dr Boston, MA 02215, its on plugshare. Depending on...

Robert / Lloyd that's a great idea, I called Tesla Watertown the other day to see when they may be available. They didn't know and had not even seen one ever...

Agree, "useless" is a bit strong. I just emailed [email protected] to try to get any idea of a Concord NH supercharger which would satisfy both the owners using Route 3 and the 500+ MS owners in Boston, Cambridge, Brookline, Newton area. It is truly a supercharger wasteland north of...

Nashua! How useless...its not even on the 93 expressway. Plus it's only 42 miles from Boston, ugh...how are people going to drive into the NH Ski Areas....

I use the Sno Brum, it is designed to not scratch paint and I can attest that it does not hurt the clear coat on the car. Amazon.com: Sno Brum Original Snow Removal Tool with Telescoping Handle: Patio, Lawn Garden

I've used this: Amazon.com: Sno Brum Original Snow Removal Tool with Telescoping Handle: Patio, Lawn Garden I can attest that it does not damage the clearcoat.

I can second what yobigd20 experience has been. The Goodyear Eagle RS-A2 on the car are pretty good. Definitely much better than the first generation Eagle RS-A that I've experienced on other cars. Recently, in Boston, we've had 6-inch (heavy wet snow) and 10-inch (light powdery snow...

Well, in that case, you'd probably have to take a slight detour in 2014 to the West Lebanon VT supercharger to get to Northern VT. Definitely doable in a S85 once the supercharger goes online. Takes 3-4 months right now to get your car though... Boston, MA to Jay Peak Resort - Google Maps

@AIMc: The Manchester mall would be just OK, it's too close to Boston at 50 miles. The key location is Concord which is at the junction that splits going up to the White Mountains in NH or to VT. That extra 20 mile difference between Manchester and Concord is critical with the elevation...

I was upset that they removed the Concord NH charger as this makes it difficult to get to the White Mountains area for skiing. We have an 60 kW model and we were able to get to Mt Sunapee to ski by using a charging station in Manchester while having dinner on the way back. 130 rated miles...

Tire Wear after Another Month? Hi Evo, I'm going to be getting a very similar setup with the same sized wheels (Ace Convex) and tires (Hankook V12s). You mentioned your worry about tread wear, could you elaborate on what you meant? Is it excessive after another month of driving and the same...

Thanks John for the pics, Beautiful look. I noticed you have Falken Tires on there. Are they the 453s, how quiet are they? Have any comparison between these tires and other tire brands? I'm looking at a staggered setup as well 20x9 in front and 20x10 in the back with the same tire sizes...
