Mattack4000, thank you!

Can anyone confirm the model X filter is 12" x 40.25" x 1" ?? Thanks.

My June 2016 X90D has less capacity then this I believe. This spring I did a charge from 0 to 100% and the charge page indicated that 73KWh's were added. Is this a correct indication? Do I have only 73KWh's of battery available in my 90D Model X? Thanks for any input.

As an aside: There is more than one family towing an electric glider with a Model X. Lake City, FL if I remember correctly:

Thanks, Doc S. That might be a good idea. Need to be careful not to get "stuck" with a long trailer (29 ft) in a parking garage. We are now planning on spending the night at the Holiday Inn just south and west of the ATL airport. I found it on plugshare and I called and they have a couple of...

Now that is clear! Thanks!

Moonwick, Thanks for your reply!

In early June we will be using the Chattanooga SC towing a long trailer. Any advice for folks who have used this one? Any extra charge for driving in with a trailer. Any place to drop it off to charge? Thanks!

Thank you! That was very helpful. Your post cleared up a lot of my confusion. Found it all on google maps now. JG

We are planning a trip north on I-75 in June pulling a trailer. Does anyone know the best parking garage entrance to use to get to the Atlanta (Atlantic station) supercharger? How about a good place to drop off the trailer before entering the parking garage? Thanks!

Thanks Lee. That display changes from miles added to kWh added when switching from Energy to Distance. The top number (100%) changes to miles of range. My concern still is the usable capacity of my battery. I just returned home with 8% left and my Trip display since last charge was 61.6 kWh...

My mid 2016 built X90D was indicating about 36 KWh used at 50% down from a max charge so I was concerned. As a test I ran it down for the first time to zero and did a max range charge to 100% and the dash indicated 73 KWh. Is this normal? I was expecting around 84 KWh. My email to Tesla...

The agreement we are finalizing with the Board of Directors states that I will pay for the Electricity with a separate meter. There is a possibility we can run a line directly from my circuit breaker panel in the unit to save the cost of installing a second meter. I felt it was interesting that...

We are going through a similar process. The condo where we are moving to has under-building assigned parking spots. Current management was at first resistant but tentatively agreed to our request to install a 14-50 outlet at our expense. Luckily there is a pillar next to our parking spot...

We saw this beautiful silver X in Missoula, MT a couple of weeks ago:

Can you say 231?

I think it's great that some are getting to attend the Gigafactory opening. I'm still hoping that someone uses my referal code. If you wish you may use my code to get your $1000 credit. Click on: Referral | Tesla Or you can mention james984 to the folks at the Tesla Store. Thanks!

An uneducated guess: could they be industrial motors for one of the factory machines?

Mine's good also if you need one! Click on the link in my signature. Thanks!

I also ran into Buddy last week. He was driving a chevy van towing a tesla trailer with a model S strapped down. I played "ambulance chaser" and followed him to a parking lot where I got to look at how they secure a telsa to a trailer. He was delivering the vehicle from the Dania Beach Service...

Ok, I think I found that one. I hope it's ok to repost it. (Cosmacelf, if not OK I'll edit it out. Thanks.)

I'm really interested in seeing photos of a Metallic Silver Model X with Ultra White interior. I have not see any yet. I've had Silver autos before with a black interior which goes together well and wondered if the Tesla ultra white seats would look good also. Anyone have an opinion? Thanks...

Here's another referral link in case some Model S purchaser is looking to save up to $1,200 towards their home charging installation. Referral Credit on a Tesla Model S | Tesla Motors Thanks!

So a drone ship landing? Great! Anybody have the at sea weather forecast? Thanks.

After watching the instagram movie it appears the upper leg strut that extends to deploy the leg retracted as the Falcon tipped. Was this telescoping tube the failure point? Saw this quote: elonmusk Falcon lands on droneship, but the lockout collet doesn't latch on one the four legs...

Thanks cottonwood and texasev!

Thanks for all the responses so far! At this time it looks like the Clipper creek 60 amp ($900) using the Telsa J1772 adapter is an option. The Tesla HPWC at $750 would be another option. Using the supplied Tesla mobile connector bundle with the 14-50 plug would be the least expensive with...

What's the installation required to charge a Model X with the standard 48 amp charger? What circuit breaker size, wire size, type of outlet receptacle, etc to get the full 48 amps? Which Tesla adapter will be needed? Is there a Tesla document that specifically addresses the Model X with 48...

I did a brief search and did not find updated info in the FAQ about the Model X and the 48 amp charger. What CB size, proper wire size, and receptacle should be used to get full power to the on board charger in this case? Will the Tesla UPC draw 48 amps or just 40? Thanks to anyone who can...

Or tow this to your local general aviation airport: An all electric sailplane in it's own trailer. There's two of them at my local airport. They fly for hours for only 50 cents worth of electricity. if you are interested: AliSport

I just got an invite also. Production #9518, USA.

We'll be at Gwendolyn's Cafe tomorrow morning and would be happy to be included. Jim & Bonita

spottyq, here's a link to the EV album page for my EV conversion: 1971 Porsche 914 I don't have a blog or anything but there are others that do. Over 4 dozen 914 electric conversions have been done in the US. Thousands of other cars and trucks. - - - Updated - - - rdalcanto, Thanks...

I think Tesla Motors has stated that the Roadster and Model S have to be towed on a flatbed trailer. Will the Model X have any ability to be flat towed behind an RV? Does anyone have TM feedback or unofficial techniques? The answer to this question might not come until after the reveal/deliveries.

That was the best yet. For all of us waiting, Thanks!

Erol, Michael, We are not a Tesla owners but would like to tag along if you meet for breakfast. We are attending the event in our Elecric Conversion. Thanks, Jim & Bonita

I haven't seen any side camera user reports so here's mine: I spent the last month touring around Wisconsin in our RV and it has side and rear cameras. Normally the rear camera is on but when the turn signal is used the system switches to the right or left side camera. The display is on the...

This is really awesome. Watching it now. Thanks for the link.

I searched this forum but didn't find any reference to the Alisport electric sailplane. Granted not an "airplane" but electric and practical none the less. I've put 50 hours on mine the last 3 months. For those that might be interested: It has a small electric motor, 23kw max, 16kw...

I saw this thread and was curious on how this compared to my own experience. The 260kw at 50kg is about 5.2 Kw/kg. In my plane I have a small electric motor, 23kw max, 16kw continuous and about 7.3 lbs. That gives about 2.2 Kw/kg continuous, about half the weight efficiency of the OP. This...

Anyone know the title or artist for the music they are playing?

I emailed Senator Benacquisto

Nigel, A FL tax waiver would be great. Do you have a reference or info source for that waiver? Jim

AWESOME! Thanks.

Great project! Did you weigh one of the 16 modules (5.3kWh)? I searched this and your other threads but could not find it. Just wanted to compute kWh/lb for the Model S without the Al armor/bms/wiring etc. Thanks.

I drive a 1971 Porsche as my daily driver, so that's 43 years old. I had to restore it though. The simplicity of automobiles of that era allowed me to do it. Also, I had to replace that ICE to obtain better performance. Now 4 years of trouble free 100% electiric driving with no maintenance.

Ok you Tesla experts and math majors. Please explain what one should do pulling a trailer. Assume a big hit on range due to extra drag and mass. It would be similar to winter driving with a headwind. At what point should one slow down assuming Superchargers every 130 miles apart? Thanks for...
