The really truthful answer to this question depends on whether or not you plan to pull a permit thus require an inspection by your local government and/or prefer to install it to current electrical codes. If you DIY, and don't plan on anyone ever seeing what is in the crawlspace, then running...

Nowhere is it written that one can be satisfied with some of something, yet be disappointed with other issues I love driving my Model X.. the torque, the suspension, the display and Autopilot all part of driving bliss.... Then the vibration felt through the drivetrain on acceleration that...

OMG, this thread demonstrates the perpetual mental illness afflicting "believers" that will continue to look to Elon and Tesla with hope and optimism, despite over 3 years of amassing thousands of frustrated owners, mostly purchasing a Model X. Perhaps it's a self-inflicted delusional syndrome...

This may be too late for the OP, but I know of an owner who had their Model X repurchased June 2017, and was reimbursed for all of registration fees and taxes, 50% of Xpel and window tinting cost, deducted only $4200 of the Fed Tax credit after submitting evidence of limited credit received due...

I loved the acceleration of my Porsche Cayenne diesel (408 ft/lbs), far better than any other vehicle ever driven... until the Tesla, while I never have driven a Porsche S - Turbo, but almost every ICE is "sluggish" compared to even a MX 90D.

Hmmm, I have had some wacky thoughts, but try to be careful not to post them in public...I have found best to keep such wondering quiet... but thanks for the chuckle...

My Model X, delivered 6/2017 is the "Wind and Road" Noisiest vehicle I have owned in over 20 years, spoiled by Lexus and Porsche. The lack of any soundproof insulation, large glass, and inadequate door and window seals makes it even louder than our 2014 Cayenne Diesel, by 7-10 dBs on the same...

OP should know by now (just by reading this forum) that the build quality of all Tesla vehicles is highly variable, as is the luck of an owner regarding ending up with a Tesla and the possible problems that occur. Also variable is the functionality and capability of the SvC center to...

I am exhausted just reading your saga, cant keep track of how many times you brought into service for the same reason and still No Joy... Most state Lemon Laws state 30 days accumulative, or 4 service visits for same issue and still it resolved. Historically, Tesla would agree to "buy back"...

I can report I have had ZERO issues... with the frunk.... ...otherwise not so lucky or happy as others, having had multiple issues, as I enjoy my 2nd "Lemon"... can't say no more...

"EAP gets refined all the time"???? Had mine since June '17, currently on 2018.50.3, no significant changes in that EAP feature since sometime last year, still not AP1 equivalent yet as per dependence on Speed Limit database from over 3 years ago, but "easy exit", Auto-wipers, are nice but...

It is a special feeling to initiate a question (in doubt of what Tesla Reps claim) and starting a thread that has quite a good following and duration, follow up with hands-on researched evidence (,then to be quoted and quasi-criticized for the hypothesis by seemingly intelligent peers... ...

My Model X ruined 4 Michelin 20's purchased from Tesla after 4K miles, and the service techs said... "that the price for driving a premium EV vehicle"... So lessons learned: 1) Never buy Michelins, which are known to be softer rubber, and despite the weight rating, do not last on heavy EVs...

Outstanding, hope it stays that way

Anybody tried to charge during an event? Curious if the ICE drivers are resisting the temptation to take up the spots for parking?

Like this kind of bulk discount... or do you think there will be a better price? Blackvue Dash Cam Group Buy | Tesla Model 3 Owners Club Dashcam Group Buy

Ideally there would be a software program to utilize the owners' USB thumbdrive into the existing ports to store the files so the files can be removed for review and storage, especially if the image quality would be at current after-market dashcam resolutions. Developing some other process that...

When comparing comparable models of the BlackVue and ThinkWare cameras by multiple resources, the ThinkWare images are consistently more clear than the BlackVue, specifically when looking to read license plates. Tesla Dashcam Showdown: Thinkware F770 vs. BlackVue DR650GW However, so far only...

Took the money and ran I guess... pretty typical of this new generation...

I do like the idea of a mobile Sat radio not requiring data for signal. It's not a big deal to connect it up with an antenna on the dash for road trips. It's not ethical, but having an email system that offers disposable email addresses (like Yahoo), is handy for making a new email for the...

I am curious about a group purchase for the wrap from Xpel, when the real challenge is the installation of the product. Unless you DIY, I doubt any installer will apply it without providing the material, but perhaps everything is negotiable. I have found that a reasonable installer can apply...

Unfortunately I just received the following email from the App creator... "Unfortunately, the device which I used to develop the app was stolen a couple days ago. Until I get a new computer and my development environment functional again I won't be able to diagnose or provide solutions. I do...

I went from a 90D 6-seater to a 90D 5-seater, I have not noticed an appreciable difference in the 2 models.

Good Stuff XGeek, it's good to have objective analysis as well as individual perspectives for the AP development process.

Are they going to wrap around the edges where possible or just stop at the outside edge of the panel? My first wrap was non-wrapped, which held up well for a year, but the edges were slightly visible. My current car has edges wrapped, and this requires some "cuts" to allow for rounded corners.

All I can say is you will just love the matte finish on the Midnight Silver. When I received my new Midnight Silver MX last month, it was just so unsightly until I got it wrapped in Xpel Stealth like my prior one. As far as extra coatings, there is not evidence it does anything obvious other...

Wow, so will the 2nd row be a bench that moves forward for 3rd row access, with a 60/40 split? Wonder why it took them so long to finally get there? Given that option, I may have actually gone for the 7-seater, but there you go...

Agreed, but the truth is there are several out there also that have similar functionality. Curious if they all have the ability to provide the same commands, and if all the developers max out on the possible options.

Having been a Tesla owner for over a year, I can tell you @Dakkor is absolutely correct, you will hate the way Tesla supports customers who want options and are DIYers. They do not even support information on replacement of fuses. Windshield Wipers, air for tires and electricity... that's...

Yes, with the Midnight Silver, the matter really hides the dust, unlike black.

Unfortunately, Tesla is relatively overpriced for the basic functionality (transportation), very tech heavy (AP, EV, Auto-door control, etc) and not a true premium vehicle (no where close to Porsche, MB, BMW) , so the price drops "like a rock" with a new hardware upgrade that basically defines...

I think you are exactly correct, all the talk of the HV connections has been a "red herring" for speculation that there was an additional cooling element in the 6/7 that was removed for the 5 seater. Some people just can't go with the facts, and are compelled to create myths. Once again, Tesla...

Not sure about USB connections, but definitely independent units that either hardwire or BT connect.

Where the heck did "buff out the matte finish" come from? That is not possible, as the 3mm PPFis the same matte material all the way through. If you get a non-healing damage on the PPF, it would have certainly destroyed the paint finish, and again it's cheaper to replace a PPF panel than to...

Thanks for checking and the response. We can only hope things change down the road.

That's good news for vinyl wraps, but PPF's are completely different material. My Xpel Stealth looks like new after a year and no coatings.

Any update on Connecting to Android Wear?

How do you know that you haven't just hit a bad SC outlet? During prior road trips, I would notice a much lower then anticipated charging rate, so I would move to another number and the charging rates wold be sometimes the same, but more often better. Now if Tesla confirms your are being...

Presuming the cameras are designed correctly, regardless of whether or not they are encased in a hermetically sealed enclosure, why would they be expected to get misaligned from freeze/thaw ecposure. I would think the vibrations encountered just by being part of a motor vehicle would risk this...

All of this discussion of reduced SC charging rates is very disconcerting. With my HW1 90D, I did a 2K mile trip and often had charging rates up over 300 MPH while in the "sweet spot", occasionally had a slow charger resolved by moving to another one. Now with a newly delivered HW2 90D, I...

z $4600 for a complete Wrap is not a bad price, but $1200 is ridiculously high for Opticoat Plus, especially when many, like myself, feel is it a complete waste of money. There is no guarantee that the coating will adhere to the Wrap long term, even Xpel says to reapply their sealant every...

Yup, good thing you figured that out all by yourself, cause my arm isn't that long to smack the bank of your head and yell "Schmuck"!!!!!;)

I received mine last week with the double straps. Admittedly the leather strap on the rear board can get in the way of the latching mechanism, but doesn't stop the door from closing. However, it is kind of in the way, so I started to fold it in when not needed. Not sure if the plastic...

I just read that some coatings on Xpel Stealth altered it's appearance, some made it "shiny". Not sure exactly what that means, could enhance the look. Not sure how it would "protect" the PPF, maybe from staining" but could definitely make washing easier, such as less need to hand dry after a...

It's your prerogative and your money, but Xpel does not confirm that any coating placed one the Wrap add any extra protection, but obviously recommend their sealant every two years. If I had any confirmation that a ceramic coating offers a significant improved benefit, I'd go for it myself...

On my 6-seater, I did not have that situation as they were almost exactly the same by testing with a wind meter. You may have the SvC check that out for a loose connection

Well, I am not an expert, but I have done considerable research and testing, and have created 2 threads covering this topic. There is a single A/C compressor for all Model X seating configs, but in the 5-seater there is a single fan control, and with the fan on high and all vents open, the...

Never had a glossy finish wrap, so can't comment. If you have a damage to the wrap that is beyond self-healing, it would have definitely did some paint damage. It's much cheaper to replace a section of wrap that is to repair the paint....

Well, you sure got me... but my points are still valid... Actually the type of air shock selected by the auto manufacturer determines the ability to control the ride, I discussed this with a Tesla Service Tech, and he showed me different models from the same high-end shock vendor. He said the...

It only took one drive to know the issue was not present... but who knows what other issues my be hiding. Hopefully after making another 40K more Model Xs, they have all the kinks finally worked out... But the frustration of going from AP1 to AP2 ... Oy Vey...is really tough to accept, cause I...
