I wish the production design was closer to the concept vehicle's exterior, but otherwise the EQS seems like a pretty solid choice for an EV. Our family has had great experiences with MB vehicles in the past and we will take a close look at this one once it's out and about.

I was just telling my wife how great the new Cross Turismo looks, too. Really tempting... You should do it!

We've had our X now for a little bit of time, now approaching 63k miles and with lots of road trips and tons of daily usage under our belt. I still love driving our X and it's my preferred daily driver. And the X remains a very practical car for our family; last spring, I loaded 22 large bags...

Posting a quick update on my end. All is fixed with great service from my local mobile service team. There was something wrong with the bluetooth function on my individual car, but the professional plugged into the system, erased the past entries there, and did a reflash (? sorry, I'm not very...

no luck on my end, so I’ve scheduled a service visit. Feeling pretty old right now as I’ve scheduled a service appointment to ask for help to connect my phone. o_O

I have the exact same issue. I can’t seem to get my phone reconnected and cannot delete my old phone profile. Sigh... searching the forum for a solution

We have both in our family and I am happy to share our experience to help in your choice. I think the S is more attractive and definitely way more fun to drive. And space-wise (as you already know), it can actually hold quite a bit of stuff if you lay the back seats down. We’ve loved our S...

I just replaced my tires with Pirelli Scorpion Verde AS II and thus far the ride is nice and road noise seems lower, but the handling doesn’t seem quite as stable at higher speed and the energy consumed with these tires is higher than what I had with the OEM Continentals. I drive fast, but...

I have both and would recommend you towards the newer Model S for your family as your wife just picked up a new X7. If your other car wasn’t a larger SUV, I would instead suggest the Model X as it’s a terrific daily commuter, is very fast for its type of vehicle, is useful in tons of ways, and...

Congrats! I'm sure you'll love it. I really love our X and I tried to convince my wife to change our older Tesla for a new X for her to enjoy also, but she's not into having two of the same. So still looking.....

Some minor fluctuation +1/-1, but pretty consistent at 264 at 90% with nearly 40k miles now. 2017 100D. Lots of road trips and occasional supercharging, but 99% of charging from home.

When I originally picked up my car, I was unable to get the auto presenting door to work either during my inspection of the vehicle while they processed my paperwork. I remember turning the option on with the main screen and nothing happening. When I spoke with my delivery advisor, he told me...

I've owned and driven our Tesla cars (S and X) now for the past six years and do quite a bit of miles annually. Our model S now has more than 135,000 miles and is going strong and our model X has 35,000 miles and is perfect. Because of my high mileage driving, I used to buy a new car every...

I would have continued to order as we have done. Our first Tesla required a $5000 deposit and later with the second, I think it was $1000 (don't remember exactly). But I think the low $100 reservation deposit means maybe half of the total reservations thus far may not convert to actual...

Very well said! When walking away, I still look back at our Model S and think "what a handsome car!" and we love our Model X. In my eyes, Tesla design has always had very clean surfacing and generally good proportions. The new Cybertrck design is aggressively modern, which I appreciate, and...

My wife and I had intentions to buy a Model Y for our daughter to drive when it became available; it's design doesn't do much for me, but we have loved our Tesla ownership experiences and wanted to do something electric. But after seeing the Cybertruck, we've decided to order the truck and are...

Ordered, but not trading in my Model X. Our X is a perfect family and road trip vehicle for us.

Ordered a dual motor with self driving this morning :)

I like how different it looks... and might buy. My wife is interested in the Rivian SUV and we have been planning to replace her vehicle with it when it eventually becomes available, but this thing is just so futuristic and offers a lot of value.

It was definitely a smaller community of enthusiasts back then and I used to wave every time and receive smiles and waves back in my neck of the woods. There are many, many more Teslas driving around my area now and I stopped waving after getting some ugly looks back to me. Ha... my daughter...

Six years and two Teslas for our family and we've had really terrific experiences with our service centers here in Dallas and Plano. Our very positive ownership experience is the primary reason I've given our friends to buy their own Tesla cars (referring maybe 5 or 6 new owners now). I'm not...

I believe I have the same thing. It seems to be coming from around the glove box or passenger door speaker area. Not quite sure where and haven't brought it into the service center yet.

Congrats! You're going to love it.

I think your Tesla center might refer you to a certified Tesla body shop that can repaint your rear bumper. You might try Dr. Colorchip. It won't be absolutely perfect, but it may be livable for you. I've had great results with paint chips and such in the past with their product.

I bought the same weathertech mats for my 5 seater and love them. In my case, I carry a small lightweight blanket folded up in the back and place this over the folded-flat second seat row when I am carrying things. Works great for me and may be a good solution for you.

Looks like good news for us and Tesla https://electrek.co/2019/04/05/tesla-service-texa-safe-pressure-owners-new-bill/

The local service team here in Dallas has always given me fantastic service and it's a big reason why I love my ownership experience. Two recent examples: I came across the uncorking performance thread for 100D models and wondered if my vehicle might qualify. After calling to ask about the...

I agree with all of the other helpful tips posted here. My family and I have done a lot of EV road trips over the past several years and I just returned from a 2400 mi trip in December. ABetterRoutePlanner works great in looking ahead towards charging stops and I think you will find it...

That's nice! What a great surprise!

I was actually sincere in my posting as I had read through recent threads/posts from the OP about his various and numerous frustrations with his recent purchase. I've made bad choices in buying something I thought would fit my needs in the past. Instead of struggling with such frustration, I...

You may have picked the wrong car. You seem pretty unhappy with your purchase. Perhaps it's time to cut your losses and find something else that may fit your needs better?

Mercedes-Benz vehicles do this also. Just remember to drive a short bit and use your brakes after washing your car (I literally just go up and down my driveway once) or use your brakes during/after a rain storm.

I have an S and an X and I don't think you will regret buying your Model X. I've loved the driving and ownership experience of both cars and would definitely purchase an X again if needed. I agree with what other friendly forum members have said: most posts you read will be of concerns or...

2017 X100D with just over 13,700 miles now and my 90% is at 264.

Wow, I'm glad you were okay and it didn't do more damage. I had a similarly strange incident last year with a landscaping truck dropping a pitchfork on the road and the car in front of me ran over it, kicked it up, and shot it into the front end of my car. Surprisingly, my damage was minimal...

I have a similar car: 2014 S60 model but with 83k miles now almost four years later. I've had 3 door handles replaced, and drivetrain and battery replaced. All were under warranty except for one door handle. I've never kept a car this long before, but still find myself excited every morning...

Solid roof here. Almost every car I've had prior had sunroofs and I never opened them and generally kept the shade closed. So when buying my Model S, I thought I would forego it this time around and have no regrets.

I had always driven darker colors (blue, black, dark grey), but with my model S decided to try something different and chose pearl white. I love it, it doesn't look dirty so quickly, and in the right lighting shows off the great design lines of the car. Thumbs up from me.

My 90% had decreased to 163 rated miles at the time and I was worried about it. Some time after my original battery wouldn't fully charge to 100%. I sent an email to Tesla ([email protected] back then, not sure now) and discussed the battery concern with my local service center, and...

I had issues with my original pack (described earlier in the thread), but it was replaced with an A pack that has held a steady 190 miles at 90% over the last year. Feel very lucky!

I share the same perspective as calisnow. I think our Model S is the best daily driver available and cannot imagine going back to ICE for 99% of driving, but still love classic cars and some newer sports/super cars for their attributes. Different tools, different purposes.

Your viewpoint seems well thought out and it may make the most sense to sell it, even at a loss, to preserve future cash flow. Do you not anticipate driving more in the future? If not, I think you're right and may be happier selling it.

I'm in North Texas also and have never had an issue. Only factory tint on mine also.

I originally planned to buy another MB or something similar before purchasing my Tesla, but my wife dragged me into our local Tesla showroom and encouraged me to look at it (a client had given her a tour of his car some weeks earlier and she was blown away). Honestly, I stood in front of the...

I've made this drive numerous times, but always stop in Waco for the charge.

MB CLS or Porsche Panamera. I was already pricing out my next purchase when my wife wandered into the Tesla store in our local mall, grabbing my arm and saying I should see it. I was done. Three days later after a test drive, I ordered mine and have loved it since.

I understand the temporary anxiety of deciding when to purchase a car, for fear of possibly missing out on something new, not yet released, etc. But ultimately, I think the best advice was given by another forum member in another thread: be happy you received exactly what you ordered and just...

I had a funny moment last week. My annual state safety inspection was due and as I had a poor experience at the local car wash/oil change place near me last year, I thought to ask the new Mercedes-Benz dealership (not far from my home and my wife owns a MB) if they would perform the state...

18 months with my 60 and I am at 163 rated miles at 90% and 185 rated miles at 100%. I asked about this drop in rated miles during my last annual service visit. They checked my battery and told me everything is fine: the drop in rated miles was due to how the algorithm has adjusted to my...

I like the new look, but prefer our "classic" front end. I think the original design looks more sporty and aggressive, whereas the new design has a more luxury sedan look. Not bad at all, but I like the slightly more aggressive look to our classic design. Also, try as I might, I cannot seem...
