I have a hitch on our Model X. Worried about others pulling forward and "tapping" our car when parked (which already happened once, breaking a reflector), I first placed a piece of 2" x 2" x 8" wood into the hitch. IN ONE DAY, IT HAD A DENT! So, I designed a simple "bumper" of 2" x 2" steel...

Thanks to everyone that reviewed. The consensus is that sw release 8.0 screwed up. I advised Tampa service, to whom I first took this problem

I suggest that the Tesla entertainment system should display USB recordings (songs) in the same order that they appear on the copied original music source (for example, a CD). That is by Track number, not alphabetically and not randomly. This is presently not the case. I have a USB memory stick...

I used to love to attend the St. Pete Grande Prix (this weekend) and marvel at those super-complex Indy Car engines and watch their super acceleration. Now, an off-the-showroom floor, stock Tesla out accelerates virtually all Indy cars (and also Formula 1 cars). And the elegant simplicity of...

What a garbage article today: Father of girl in fatal Tesla crash says it would not have happened in another car. The driver had a blood alcohol level 2.5 times the limit, her father blames Tesla and Teslarati print it??

I, also, have this "clicking" or "shudder" problem under the very hardest acceleration. I just reported it to Roadside and the Tampa Service Center. It started within the past two months: 9200 miles or so.

We have had intermittent false obstacle detection on our FWDs since delivery Feb 2. So far, service has not yet solved this. However, the problems are now found to be entirely HEAT related, specifically sun shining on the door (s). The heat increases sensor sensitivity until the touchcreen...

When experiencing problems that may involve a sensor, I suggest making a note of TEMPERATURE, especially heat due to sunshine on a sensor or bank of sensors. Our Model X definitely has heat sensitive sensors on the FWDs and possibly on the bumbers. The sensors will show phantom objects when they...

See the posting: Model X Range Improvement Due to Drafting & Suspension Setting

Here is our Signature with it's great grandfather, a 1912 Victoria Convertible--all electric, of course.

We have had our Signature Red, tan seats Model X since February in the hot Florida sun. I find no reason whatsoever to tint any windows. The AC works great and cools very rapidly. Try your MX for awhile, then decide for yourself.

This 2 ft x 5 ft platform holds 500 lbs, stores flat against our garage wall. Easy install and keeps all dirt (manure) out of the car.Got it on Amazon. We are very happy with it.

Regarding the potential dangers of drafting a truck, note that at a TACC setting of #7 that the following distance is about 80 yards at 65 mph. "Do or don't" is up to each driver. Personally, I find 80 yards to be very comfortable and safe.

Here is my raw data report.

Summary Results at 65 MPH: Drafting at any TACC setting (1-7) improved range 5%. (Difference between settings 1 & 7 was surprisingly and negligibly small.) Lowering suspension from LOW to VERY LOW improved range 4%. (These may not be additive.) For a fully-charged (250 mile) battery, drafting...

I have posted results in a new thread more appropriately entitled: Model X Range Improvement Due to Drafting & Suspension Setting

Back to localhost: see my comment above yours (Sunday, 6:55 PM). The Homelink slowly got worse and worse over weeks until I also added antenna. THAT DID NOT HELP. I finally cancelled both door settings and started over, programing both of our doors as I noted above. That did it. It worked better...

"treated microfiber towel designed for cleaning glass on the inside of the windshield." What brand? Where to buy?

While some or most garage door openers provide as much a 3 minutes to complete the two way info exchange with the Model x, the newest Genies allow only 30 seconds. This requires TWO people to do the set up: one at the opener and the other in the car. They must coordinate and complete all steps...

1. We had very minor overspray on our MX Signature windshield when new. It was only noticable when looking into the setting sun. Service suggested scraping the windshield with a razor blade, which I did with Windex as a lubricant. Solved the problem 100%. 2. Then, thoroughly cleaned the...

We have a Model X Signature, red with tan seats. We find no need whatsever for window tinting. Even sitting in midday sun, the car cools off immediately. The AC works great, keeping the car at 72 degrees with the fan running at #4.

Thanks to everyone. I plan on doing quantitative testing perhaps a week from now and will report the results. I will include lowering the suspension.

Back to Systemcrashed: I would like to see some data on the range increase due to drafting, especially drafting large trucks. On a recent 3000 mile trip, I noticed a signifcant improvement when following trucks, but our route was too hilly to take meaningful data. My guess on improvement was...

For the Model S, the post Optimum Supercharger driving speed gives excellent information about the optimum Model S vehicle speed to minimize total time between destinations, including driving time and charging time. Is anyone aware of this type of info for Model X?

Get Xpel on forward facing surfaces, then Crystal Serum on all paint. Then, washing is a snap with soft water.

I am in the same situation as Skotty. I hope that under the Tesla umbrella that solar energy will have a very high priority to get into other states, like Florida. That will likely require new and different business models on a state by state basis. I look forward to visiting our Tampa Tesla...

What is the latest heard about a SC in Green Bay?

I suggest that reports from many owners on their experiences with cruise control and auto-steering would have a large, positive impact against the negative and naive views expressed in the press, by Consumer Reports, etc. I, for one, am totally convinced that engaging AP makes the combination...

Funny, but I never had this tilt issue until yesterday evening. We had five people in the MX. The one in the third row could not get out on the right side because the second row right seat would not tilt. Could not check it out at that time.This morning, it worked fine. There were no...

Do you have wall, bush or other obstruction on one side of the door opening, but not on the other side? Teslas have/had difficulties in such a case. I documented this on the Model X forum and also brought is to Tesla's attention. Search the Model X forum for my user name: gordonbremer.

It is now mid-June. Any news about the SC planned for this year?

Unfortunately, there is no Model X in the International Mall showroom. The MX is too heavy to meet mall restrictions. There is an MX available in the parking garage. Hopefully, the Tesla staff will overcome this: perhaps having an MX on the atrium floor on the lower level?

The very first survey question in both surveys cannot be answered for Teslas, and leaving it blank stops the survey. Thus, a Tesla owner's views cannot be taken into account. I advised both surveys, but no response, yet. The question asks "is the transmission manual or automatic?" No telling...

I agree that a Supercharger is definitely needed in the Appleton/Green Bay area. I want to travel from Florida to Appleton to stay with family, and it appears problematic save for one of your club members who has offered a HPWC at a home. A Supercharger on the west side of Green Bay (near...

I would like to attend with our MX Sig, but we will be away until early May. So many folks want to see an X!!

First time I read this thread. I took our Sig X to the Feb Dupont Registry "show". It was my first visit, and I had no inkling they would want me to display our car, but they did. They parked me next to a 1912 all electric Victoria Convertible.

I will be there. X-Sig.

Just reserved two Model 3s.

We have had our MX SIG for six weeks. One key fob failed to work yesterday. Problem was a dead battery, proven by swapping batteries several times. Service is send new ones, but I plan to keep a bunch on hand.

I had similar issues, but the latest sw 2.13.120 release fixed all.

Responding to Uncgolf: I have had the exact same problem with our Sig MX and advised Tampa service what I believe is causing this problem. Tesla is aware of my theory. I believe the problem is that the summons sensors/software are getting confused by the bush to the left of the garage opening...

Thanks, BUT this group does not appear on the new forum design under groups, unless I am missing something????

Prior to the new forum design, there was a group that covered Wisconsin. I posted a question regarding Appleton. I no longer find this group. What happened?

Wrong way traffic crash deaths are common place here in the Tampa Bay area. Since Tesla accurately reads speed limit signs, it should be straight forward to read wrong way and related signs. When such a sign is sensed, the car could take several actions. It could sound and flash internal...

Thanks. My daughter lives within walking distance of your cousin , I believe. I will get in contact when we head up that way from Florida.

Are any of you campaigning for a Supercharger in this area? Best I can tell, there are no destination chargers, either. Please update me if I am wrong. I had sent two request emails to the CopperLeaf in Appleton and never even got a response. I am from Florida, but want to travel up there...

Just call Tesla Service. I received a pdf of 7.1 immediately that way from our Delivery Specialist. You will want the latest and revision notes, too.

Delivery window should not be trusted. Mine says "December 17, 2015 - December 31, 2015". It's Feb 1 today.

Congratulations and thanks for the posting and pics. Our MX is due "in early January" at the Tampa Center, so the pics are really encouraging. We are in Clearwater.

My Delivery Specialist has seemed quite thorough in checking with the factory when answering my questions. The latest: "... it’s our intention to build and deliver Signature Model X’s by the end of the year." I am VIN 00429. Sounds like all Sigs (that get configured) will be delivered in 2015.
