    Driver window malfunction -- Software glitch?

    Vampire Drain while plugged in?

    Turn off cabin overheat protection and smart conditioning. It's amazing how much energy you save by not cooling and empty car.

    5 Month Model X Experience + Build Quality

    My service appointment went well. 3xxx with very few issues. My only immediate concern now is the cabin noise. I may try and measure the decibels and compare to some other cars. It's definitely noisy in the cabin.

    The Model 3 I want is getting pretty expensive

    how do you install a sunroof in the model 3 all glass roof? But really, I expect the 3 will compete across many segments with the entry level $35k car taking sales from compact cars and cheap EVs and the pimped out ones taking sales from BMW and Audi. You will need to decide where you sit in the...

    Weather App

    someone with some pull tweet Elon to develop a weather app. I have found myself wanting to monitor the weather on road trips and the daily drive to kids activities. Unfortunately weather.com loads too much crap to be effective in the browser. Anyone have a stop gap solution? I want some radar.

    FWD Stops Short

    To close the loop here... The issue was corrected with the last software update.

    Glossy seat backs + kids

    I got these Brica seat protectors and they cover the seat belt receptacles. So I modified them by cutting out the inside corners with a box cutter. So they work well and will protect the seat from my car seats and basic spills. As for the glossy seat backs. My assumption here is the paint is...

    FWD Stops Short

    Pjjava34. Same here. No wrap, clean car, doors just won't close properly. Sent email over to the Marietta service center. No reply. Patiently waiting I guess for a resolution.

    FWD Stops Short

    my driver side FWD always, yes always, stops 3/4 of the way down, says obstacle detected, and requires dash override or button overrides to get closed. It's getting old.

    Idiot List

    I recall someone rigging up their garage with a sensor to prevent the garage door from being opened into a parked FWD Opened X. I guess that would be another option to prevent a blunder.

    Idiot List

    With delivery right around the corner I need an Idiot List of all the ways I may damage or disable my X. I just can't comprehend all the threads about ways people have damaged their X, some within hours of delivery after waiting for 2 years. This is not to call anyone an Idiot, but rather to...

    New Wall Connector :)

    I assume once I am in the basement with my 3 strands of 3awg wire I can run between the joists and ditch the conduit. Correct?
  18. fderheide

    New Wall Connector :)

    It's in page 11 under installation considerations. Says conduit must be metal and flame retardant. You say pvc 80. I got the 40. Should I return it? I got the 3awg because that's what the old one called for with a minimum of 4awg for ground. I realize it's too much. Wasn't considering how...

    New Wall Connector :)

    I thought I read the instructions call for metal conduit. If I plan to run 3awg (red, black, green) on a 60amp breaker, will the 1" non metallic s40 nema TC-2 pvc rated at 90 degrees be appropriate? My run is about 100ft from basement to garage wall with 80" of the run along the garage ceiling...

    To Wrap or not wrap your Model X

    I still can't figure out why wrapping or coating is worth the dough. I have a 10 year old cayenne with 110k on it and don't have rock chips or road rash. Maybe I should drive behind more tractor trailers?

    How to protect the Falcon Wing doors from a moving garage door

    Seems like a couple software updates could address these issues. 1. 15 second delay before the car moves allowing it to confirm the door position vs trying to sneak under a moving door. 2. Memory function like the air suspension has that knows in your garage the FWD should open to a determined...

    Tesla customer service miss & bad PR

    I'm an average customer, been waiting 2.5 years. I went and looked at colors at the SC and have seen a few model s cars. I have read the forum and seen the pics/videos. I buy stuff on Amazon that I have never seen before. I have a car and am happy to wait for my X to arrive. At this point I...

    Building New Home- Best place to Install NEMA 14-50 to charge X in Garage????

    Nice Mike. I clean my garage 4-5 times a year, but kids and projects soon destroy my hard work. But to get back to the purpose of this thread, I plan to put my charger by the windows assuming the charge port is on the left side of the vehicle. Since I have a monster work bench the back wall of...

    Building New Home- Best place to Install NEMA 14-50 to charge X in Garage????

    Where do you guys keep all the stuff that's not in your garage? I keep seeing garage pics with nothing but a car in them. Here is what a real garage looks like.

    To see, or not to see, that is the question

    So that brings my best guess tally to 4. I'm in Smyrna, if you have a model X Stay away until further notice. ;) If I can't avoid one, maybe at least I can avoid a red one.
  27. fderheide

    To see, or not to see, that is the question

    Thanks Aljohn. I will avoid bulkhead for the foreseeable future. I saw a white one waiting for delivery on FB. Let me know where that one ends up so I can avoid it too. :)

    To see, or not to see, that is the question

    After waiting and reading and pic viewing for so long I am now inclined to avoid seeing an X in person until I take delivery of my very own. I have a production order which confirmed Jan 1 on a 5xxx reservation number. So I only need to avoid the Tesla store and the few founders, signs, P90Ds...

    Tesla Sales Banned in New Jersey... hopefully not for long!

    I will buy a Tesla no matter where it is sold. I hope E. Musk gives the finger to Texas and Arizona as well. I wish Tesla continued success as this will make these decisions so much more fun later when voters want that 40k Tesla that's wins consumer reports and motor trend car of the year in...

    Marietta GA Tesla Sales Manager

    Ok so I finally got a reply for a test drive from another sales manger. He said weekends are booked until mid December. No problem I replied and asked to be scheduled in January. No reply. So I inquired again. No reply. I guess I'll try again later while Tesla Marietta farts around with junior...

    Marietta GA Tesla Sales Manager

    Anyone have feedback on their sales manager from the Marietta, GA showroom? I have been working with Cale, but he doesn't know how to return emails or phone calls. I'd prefer to work with someone else.
