    Supercharger - Manteca, CA - Perimeter Drive (LIVE 12 Feb 2015, expanded 12 Dec 2017, 20 V2 stalls)

    We are heading to Arnold for the first time this weekend with friends and we are all staying at the Mountain Retreat Resort for three nights...which doesn't have a destination charger. I don't mind charging to 100% at Manteca, but was wondering if you have any tips on where I can get some miles...

    Ski/snowboard rack

    So, I've only been able to find one cargo box that could potentially fit a snowboard or skis. GearSpace 34 Enclosed Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitch - Slide Out - 34 cu ft - 300 lbs - Dark Gray Lets Go Aero Hitch Cargo Carrier HGK819 But it cost $1500 and it makes a full size van look 9months pregnant.

    Ski/snowboard rack

    This could work great for me. Thank you for the idea! My snowboard is a 158 and should fit inside without a problem. I imagine the cargo box will also give better aerodynamics, safety, and security. I re-read your comment and details on the Thule. Hopefully someone makes a wider one.

    Falcon Wing and Rear Lift Gate Sunshades Available Now

    In case anyone is interested ( and I know AT LEAST one person is!) OEM sunshades for the rest of the overhead windows are now available on the Tesla Accessories page. Tesla — Model X I haven't gotten my windshield sunshade in the mail yet, but these look very similar to the windshield versions.

    Ski/snowboard rack

    Since it doesn't sound like there is another, more elegant option. Does anyone have tips on Thule vs Yakima for the ski rack? I snowboard and it doesn't look like more than 2 snowboards can fit (1 on either side) for either model.

    Ski/snowboard rack

    Thanks for the link! I hope a better design will become available....but if the bike rack is looking the same then I'm not optimistic.

    Model X AC not working after only 2 weeks

    This happened to me too after about 3 weeks of owning the car. It hit 100 over memorial weekend and or was all my baby could take! Ironic since the day it happened my wife and I were just commenting how cold the ac was.

    Ski/snowboard rack

    I know summer is about to start but I'm looking at what kind of hitch ski snowboard racks are available...since it'll influence what bike rack I'll get. The Thule and Yakima ski racks "add-on" to their bike racks and don't seem very stable, secure, or nice. But, if there is nothing else...

    K-MTG (Captain Sunshade) - Model X

    I just got my 90d non-pup last Saturday and it has a retractable spoiler. My production is April 16. That must have been the cut off for that feature. Congrats on getting your car!

    Lowest programmable trunk height?

    I just got my vin 2907 (what an amazing driving experience!) and was wondering if other people are able to program their trunk opening at essentially any height. I have been unable to program mine lower than about 77" off the ground (tip of spoiler to ground). I am able to program essentially at...

    Model X May Deliveries

    This will give me hope! I'm 2907 and was also told end March/early April. DS even had me get financing squared away as of 3/26 or so. Last ds contact was about a week ago when I was told my car was in final inspection. Here's to hoping its ready in a week or two.

    Tesla Financing no longer available?

    I was told to start looking into financing since my car was going into production end of this month, and to expect delivery in early April. But, when I went to my tesla and the "Tesla Financing" option is no longer available. Cash/Lease/My Financing options are still there. I'm not sure how...

    Model X & Windshield Mounted Sunpass (toll payment device)

    On California bridges, there is a camera that reads license plates. In our second car without the transponder I always drive through as if I had it. Then, my account gets deducted automatically. I probably won't mount my transponder at all. I'm in the Bay Area so I'm not sure about the other...

    Tesla Finance: Production X Leasing Details & Top-Tier US Bank Financing Rates

    Anyone have the fine print on the guaranteed buyback? I think it would be very interesting to see what they consider when they make their offer. Also, for what it's worth, I was just told it is 43% of options/upgrades and not 42% anymore.

    Hitch receiver size?

    When I called yesterday to ask about the accessory hitch the person said when it is not in use that it would be covered up and not noticeable. However, the description makes it sound like it has a streamlined diffuser only when not installed. Any idea if there will be cover to hide the accessory...

    Hitch receiver size?

    Whew...thank goodness I spend all my time on these forums. Thanks to beths11 for notifying of the change so I can change $750.

    Five Xs at Devon Service Center

    funniest thing I've ever read on this forum. Everyone is bickering about VINs (are we really that bored?) and you come out with the BEST solution. If you want to know the VIN then do the math. If not, then don't do it. Argument over! This shall henceforth be known as the "Proto Soultion."

    Tow package vs accessory hitch option

    You have all been very helpful and I am leaning towards getting the 2" hitch. My rationale is that: I have NO plans to tow anything, but I do have lots of plans to use a hitch rack for things like bikes and snowboards. While MOST hitch racks are 1.25/2" compatible the ones that I am considering...

    Auto-presenting front doors - will they stop? Yes!

    Auto-close feature of driver door

    Seeing all the deliveries has been really exciting and one of the features I'm (more) excited about is the auto-close of the driver door upon pushing on the brake. At the reveal, EM showed the auto-close mode--right after he demonstrated the auto-presenting door. Since the auto-presenting mode...

    Model X may qualify for 50% business write off.

    Any news if the mx will be classified as a car or a truck? My accountant says that will be the difference in if 179 can be used. Suv's are often classified as trucks, but it is supposedly up to tesla and how they submitted the mx...i'd appreciate it if anyone has any insight into this.

    Production X Configuration Has Begun!

    I was thinking that black looks better as well. I was ALSO thinking that it would be real nice if they could get the headliner to match the upgraded seat options. I feel like a seamless color transition from the seats to the headliner gives a very luxurious feel. Plus, tesla would only really...

    Model X Middle Row Seat Design - possible reason for current design
