    Our surprising (to us) decision to go with 6 seats instead of 7...

    " Take the middle seat out and you can accommodate things at least 80" long (depending on how much tilt you can make happen I'd say you could handle 85" long skis, for example." 85 " equals 215 Cm. I have not had skis that long since I can not remember. 165 CM = 65 " I will be curious if I can...

    Our surprising (to us) decision to go with 6 seats instead of 7...

    Back to the original subject. I went with the 7 seat because 90% of the time the second row will be as far back as it goes and the 3rd row will be folded flat. The dog will be in the back. I also see trips with 5 people and the dog and luggage. The three second row seats are needed to keep dog...

    Leak: “every other car off the line is the X”

    And people scoffed at me last week when I said the over under for 2015 X deliveries might be 500. I better start moving money as looks like I might get P3XX sooner than I thought.

    Exclusive pics and videos of the model during various stages of assembly!!

    My expectations go way up after seeing this video. So much for the Nay sayers saying only a few hand made cars in 2015. This was taken last week leaving 4 weeks until Dec 31. Hopefully they won't get built and stock piled missing one or two parts It will be interesting to see how many get...

    70D deliveries starting H2/16

    When did Tesla ever say that they would deliver all possible models of the X at the initial rollout? We did not even know a 70 version existed until several weeks ago when the regular production reservation holders were asked to Configure. In fact I recall Elon saying something like a more...

    Order pending -- questions abound

    The 72 amp charger is a hidden option. (see below) Click and type Charger anywhere on the con-figurer and 72 amp charger pops up. Get the standard 20 inch wheels for better ride and towing, Zero $$ and buy bigger wheels and tires later if you really need them. I may paint mine black or grey...

    Is 37 more miles worth $13,000?

    Not sure where the references in this thread about the 70 being 1/2 second slower than the 90 come from. The 70 takes 25% longer to get to 60 than the 90. 4.8 vs 6.0 seconds. At least for me the zoom zoom factor is a big part of the equation as the X will be a both people hauler and sports sedan.

    Reservation holders: Would you configure & confirm your ModelX without access to one?

    I would configure. I was lucky enough to sit in Elon's x for a while in all seats and waited quite a while for a test ride which was awesome from the front passenger seat. I am also fortunate that I will drive it with second row back and 3rd row folded 98% of the time. I need the 7 seater...

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

    "The Mercedes V-Class is The Benchmark to follow." Benchmark of what? Tall boxy commercial van with Old ICE technology with base 0-60 at 12.1 seconds. Top of the line at 9.1 seconds. The folded seat looks like it wold leave about 2 feet clear to an X's roof. The Fact that the folded seat did...

    Very Difficult decision..Canceling my Sig X reservation

    Name One car company that has produced a completely free standing folding seat that meets recent crash test standards. Every folding seat I am aware of has The seat belts attached to a pillar.

    Is Tesla preparing to charge for Supercharging?

    There seems to have been a shift in TMC's company line free regarding " free for Life " supercharging. New position is that "long distance" supercharging will be free for life. They do not want owners that live near a supercharger using them as their primary charger for in town and short trips...

    Model X Launch invites have gone out

    Let's see today is about the last day you could order an S and get delivery in Q4. I believe the timing of the invites was totally " competent " and designed to not reduce 4th Quarter S sales.

    New renderings of storage space and 2nd row seats! (9/15)

    What people seem to be missing here is that with the Falcon doors the second row seat belts are completely contained in the seat, Not attached to the frame in 2 places as is the case with most other SUV's/CUV's. I imagine They could not meet safety and crash test requirements with a folding seat.

    Long time reader, first post. Getting excited that I might have a Model X by the end of the year US Reg #398. What seems to be lost in all of these posts is that this vehicle was always positioned as a performance luxury crossover not a full SUV. Optimized for people hauling not 2x10's. If you...
