Lots of activity today. Sorry no photo. Appears there are two megapack batteries to reduce peak charges. They were wiring up the one on the right. Roughly 10 guys out working.

Woke up this am and doors work fine. No problems all day. A bit strange but happy things are back to working. BTW Deque- I have never had a bad experience with the SC. The guys in Chicago are very diligent and care. They do a great job. Haven't called them much but when I did never had an issue...

I'm having the same issue on a non-PUP car. What ended up being the remedy? My issues are - door won't operate from outside. Door won't close on brake pedal or handle pull Door sucks in when closed but not hard enough Wind noise around window is bad Car says door Not closed and chimes...

I have had this come and go. It actually shows up if I leave the car at the airport. The. I get home and the next day it would work... Or not. I took it into the SC in Chicago and they said I need the module. Same as you. Out of stock. I did drive 800 miles last weekend and it worked...

I've been thinking the same thing. Live adjacent to chicago. City grid layout. Flat, flat, flat. Commute is 8 miles. Most trips are 2-3 miles. Grocery store, dinner, etc. car does well on highway but my average is 420 wh/mile. A lot of that is city driving with AC on.

Had to be an update. 3 miles in 5 days and counting. I assume seasons will make a big difference - little energy needed for batteries in summer. Consider me impressed...

I love AP. There have been two events that gave me pause. 1) pull up to light. Car slows down. Motorcycle in front of me. Sensors see and are aware of a motorcycle in front of me. He is in far left side of lane. Another motorcycle in far right side of the lane to the left. They are side by side...

The reality is that many drivers are already on "autopilot". Look out the window in Chicago and 30% are looking at their phones, applying makeup, etc. I feel very safe when using autopilot. Do I use it in residential areas - no. Too many things beyond its control. In stop and go traffic and...

AP makes your "driving" more consistent. If you chose to speed you can ( on right roads). If you set it at speed limit it will do that as well. It's all about consistency- lane control, speed control,etc. you are removing the human variation in focus, attention, etc. Btw- on a non divided...

Endo- there are rated and ideal miles. I go by rated and that says about 260 miles. Mickie- we have a place near Viroqua and I travel up to Ladsymith are for work. Beautiful country. Not much for charging up there. If you look at the supercharger map you can see for 2016 looks like Wausau...

I averaged about 420 wh/mile on that trip. Car has about 1100 miles on it and I got 360 wh/ mile on a 60 mile trip. I drive with flow of traffic or faster. No hypermiling techniques.

Endodon, My total mileage for the day was 400 miles. I stopped at two different superchargers a total of three stops. Chicago- Madison 140 miles Madison supercharger -charged for 20 minutes and got 100 miles range Madison- work location- Madison slightly 80 miles Madison supercharger- got...

I showed up around 830pm. The tech guy asked about radiator overflow and a bunch of ICE car stuff. The car isn't fast enough to ask a whole lot so he just let me go. We waited for the jet car and several people came over to talk. The FWD got the biggest response. A tesla had been there before...

I have done plasti dip in the past. It does work but doesn't last long. I was thinking the X deserved better....

Liking the idea of dark wheels on my X, Met with a guy that powder coats and he recommended a gloss black. $200/ per. Advised against a flat black as it might just look dirty / like brake dust. Anyone already done it / have pictures? I have searched a few times so apologies if it is already...

The SC near downtown Chicago ( Grand Ave) has several HPWC placed in an adjacent lot. In the alley next to the building there are two supercharger stalls. They are used a lot by locals ( many people in chicago live in buildings that don't have charging or park in lots that don't have power)...

The car in Lane 1 was a built newer mustang. He had traction problems but once he hooked up the car was quick. Assume its a high 10's car when everything goes right. I could have had a few more runs but they certified a jet car last night. Incredible sound and speed. I think his test run was in...

Left Chicago yesterday and traveled for work all day in Wisconsin. Car is a P90D with 20" wheels. Hit the superchargers in Madison as well as in Pleasant Prairie, WI. Total of 400 miles. Most of it highway using Autopliot. Fantastic. Zero issues. i also stopped at Great Lakes Dragway on the...

Follow up. Lane change- I went in and adjusted the settings in the menu. Did a test run and it does work. Prior to changing the setting on autopilot the blinker would do nothing. Now lanes change. Thanks. Tunein- I had to recreate my favorites but they are all there. Would have been easier if...

pixked up my car last week at Grand ave in Chicago. 45xx Vin. Ordered 1/30 and picked up 6/15. Car was built 5/16. Software is 2.22.66 Car is great. Panel gaps are good. Drives great. First tesla. It's a big car but fits the garage just fine. Issues- I can't login to tuenin. I even created a...

Visiting family in LA and stopped by the Centinela SC. Counted 17 X's on the lot with more we couldn't see. VINs ranged from 100's to 400's to low 1000's. Some 90D. Most P90D. The cars look incredible.

Brooks- Do you know how much energy is used doing one run ? Any idea of the differences between the X and the S on energy usage? Great stuff. QUOTE="fiksegts, post: 1370675, member: 11734"]article: Tesla Model X vs Model S P90D Ludicrous Husband vs Wife Drag Racing 1/4 Mile Showdown video:

Just got an email from Tesla about financing. The Resale Value Guarantee ended up being the same as the Model S, and I have attached the terms and conditions for your review. The document appears to be older. It does not mention Model X. It references 60kwh and 85kwh models..

Just want to make sure my thinks is right here. i got a 2.09% rate through Tesla for my X for a 48 month loan. I am liking the idea of the RVG but as you point out its more of a backstop than anything else. Is there a minimum balance requirement to get the RVG or can you simply have a balance...

Got VIN sometime over past two days Vin 455X. Will be interesting to see if cars go out based on VIN or get batched by features. To date it looks like features and then some geography ( CA). I'm a P but didn't go for premium.

Tesla looking for revenue recognition to boost Q1 numbers. Keep sales close to plant to boost deliveries and thus revenue.

You make some good points and as we both agree- it's a short term tough spot. The bright spot in all of this is that the cars they have delivered are good. From the feedback from owners they're real good. This means that there is some level of process capability to make good cars. Maybe they...

I know that Tesla reads the posts so this is a personal appeal to Elon. Elon, You are a busy guy- Mars, fighting Nevada and making cars. We get it. For the most part everyone on here is really committed to Tesla and to your concept. Some are early adopters, some just like nice cars. What you...

Thanks. For a basic monitoring system without getting too crazy looks like TED or Effergy. I will do research and give one a try. Any comments on why one or the other would be appreciated.

Model X on order. Waiting like everyone else. Has anyone found a simple way to measure energy usage in charging the car? Is there a "kill a watt" equivalent that can help me measure total energy usage? Thanks Mark

My order confirms tomorrow. I have been debating but think i'll stay in. The car is flashy for my inner city Chicago neighborhood. The falcon wing doors are weird, overly complex and likely a maintenance nightmare. Emotional approach and my love of technology is beating out the rational...

They delivered something like 300 model X in 2015. I unfortunately think you guys may be more right than wrong. we will see...

Looks like there will be plenty of X's on the road in the coming months. I'm reservation 779897X and I just got of the phone with customer support. I'm giving my current car to my son and needed to understand timing of when I could actually see a car. They said that a P90D would be delivered in...

Jack, Well done. We have a farm in rural Wisconsin and have been thinking about doing something like this. A few questions: - how much does it cost to install each unit ( unit and labor)? - who owns the unit once installed? - who pays for the electricity? - any other details that you see as...

Following up here. Anyone have a chance to look? Island ? Are they still stuck in permitting? Thanks.

Wanted to track progress of the upcoming WI superchargers. - Madison / Pleasant Prarie- Can somebody stop in and check progress. Both of these are documented in press and drawings have been posted for East Towne in Madison. - Eau Claire -I have read that this one will open before...

Everyone I have spoken with at Tesla says model X is late 2014 early 2015 more likley. My X5 goes back in November. May just get something to fill gap until then. We have a farm outisde of Viroqua,WI so supercharger in Rockford / Madison are key. AWD is important espeically in winter on our...

Real deal http://www.cityofmadison.com/planning/projects/reports/89etm_site2.pdf

Not sure. The earlier CBL announcement covered only a few locations. The source on East Towne mall is good and legitimate. It also fits in with the framework- location close to highway, near stuff to do and CBL wants to have Tesla owners shop their malls.

Looks like I was wrong. Next one is in Madison area at East Towne Mall of 90. Part of the partenrship with CBL Properties. Believe Brookfield near Milwaukee is also being bid out as well.

Stopped by this am. 4 trucks with guys working. They said work would be completed by Saturday.

Looks like there is another one scheduled for the Tomah / Camp Douglas / New Lisbon area next. Anyone have any info on this? No high end malls in that part of the world so what is the strategy there? Took a test drive yesterday in Oak Brook and as a gear head I can say it is a good car. Fast...
