Much of this is Tesla's fault. There are many stories out there about long waits for replacement parts, limited numbers of qualified body shops, etc. Yes, they are working on it, but the damage here is done (no pun intended). When a car sits at a repair shop for weeks and weeks waiting for...

This is great to hear. While it may be a bit late, I am glad that you guys are focusing on this now. I had two experiences with Tesla approved body shops where part delays were a problem. In both situations, the cost for my rental car was greater than the cost to repair the car. This was not...

This seems to be getting worse. Now my trunk won't even fully open when it is outside. This is crazy.

Let's hope that someone from Telsa is monitoring this forum.

This is hugely annoying. There is enough clearance in my garage for it to open fully, but it keeps resetting to the 50% position. I spoke to the service center about this and they said that it is a "safety" setting. Frankly, that's BS. This is a setting that is designed only to prevent...

I just hired Johnny at Calibred to clean-up a 650S installation performed by another company. He did a great job. I should have gone to him in the first place. Highly recommend him if you live in SoCal. 310-654-0532

I just traded in my Model S for a new Model X so I'm in the same boat. I was super excited that they upgraded the hardware after my order was placed (and prior to production) and jumped at the chance to upgrade the autopilot features. While it is annoying that certain features are not working...

Picked up my new Model X last week. Apparently, mine came with the "Squeaks and Rattles" package. Had I known, I would have de-selected it when I ordered the car. They are now telling me that it will be over a month to get a service appointment. This is very disappointing. They should have...

Same issue here. Spent a half hour on the phone with Tesla technical support yesterday and they played dumb like they have never heard of this problem. Said they need to escalate it to an engineer to troubleshoot. Kind of pathetic. This is basic functionality.

I had a similar issue waiting for parts on the repair of my Model S. This is actually a really serious problem that increases the cost of ownership for all Tesla buyers. While your car sits at the shop, your insurance company is shelling out money for your rental car. In my case, the rental...

While I am hopeful that some of the shortfalls in 8.0 will soon be fixed by Tesla (especially the problems with the Media Player), I am most bothered by the new display protocol for apps which appears to be fully intentional. Before 8.0, when you hit an app button the app appeared in the top...

A fixed rear spoiler to make the car look less like a jellybean. A four seat option with a rear center console. More color options.

I really don't want to be playing detective here, but the garage door that is shown in the picture that the OP posted of his car is this thread is not the same one that is in the background of the pictures that he posted about his window bubble issues. Model X Roof Window Bubbles One has a...

I am just a few months away from hitting the 3 year mark on my Model S purchase which will make me eligible for the guaranteed buyback program. Since it looks like that program was introduced in April 2013, I would suspect that the first group of eligible owners are just hitting the 3-year...

Umm, the nose is the biggest problem and the source of most of the negative comments here and in reviews. Also, while the active spoiler may be cool, a fixed carbon fiber spoiler (like the Model S) would have done a lot to give more definition to the rear. The changes that need to be made to...

No doubt that the quality issues are hurting new sales, but I think the looks are what turned off a lot of the reservation holders who would normally have ordered well before the quality issues surfaced.

After reading all of the comments here it seems to me like everyone has missed the point of the original post. Who cares who actually designed the X or whether it's "swallow your pride," the real issue is that the design is mediocre at best. I have had a Model S for 2 1/2 years and I think...

Let's not ignore their commentary on the design (something I've been concerned about since the reveal in September): "Speaking of style, there’s little nice to say about the way the Model X looks. Its details are inoffensive—the headlights and taillights, for example—but it has the proportions...

Sorry to hear about your problems, but I'm more amazed that this is the end of March and they are just delivering VIN 6XX. Can that be true? Considering the reports of calls made to California reservation holders a few weeks ago telling them that production slots had just opened up, I am...

I've had many cars over the years and can share many horror stories about poor service experiences. Generally, I've had pretty positive experiences with Tesla in the last 2 1/2 years. My bigger issue with Tesla now is that they seem to be ridiculously overwhelmed and unable to keep up. I just...

Considering that the old $650 center console has been available for 2 years now, anyone who has wanted one has had plenty of opportunity to get one. Moreover, it sounds like all new deliveries are coming with the new version as a standard item. That's actually more like a price decrease. The...

Paul's comments echo what I have posted before - the car is kind of ugly. While I get that beauty is subjective and many fans on this board have grown to like the design, most people I have spoken with think it's ugly. If you are going to expect people (en masse) to pay $100,000 plus for a...

Perhaps it's a bit overly dramatic, however, if you read other threads you get the sense that a large number of reservation holders are not converting their reservations to orders. If the people who shelled out $5,000 to get in line are not enthusiastically ordering, then you may have a real...

There was a very similar post on teslarati a few days ago. I really hope that the people at Tesla are paying attention here. The sense that I get is that a relatively small number of reservation holders have confirmed their orders. I've had access to the design studio for a couple of months...

I would not count on a design refresh in the near future. While some have speculated that the front end will be redesigned to eliminate the nose cone and be more consistent with the X, don't bet on this. The jury is still out on the design of the X. Outside of the die hards on this board who...

I agree completely! BMW had high hopes for the GT, but it's proven to be wildly unpopular in the U.S. They sell a lot in China though. I am seriously concerned that once the initial launch euphoria wears off, the enthusiasm for the MX design will fade and sales will slow. I really think that...

I agree with you about the Model S. I've had mine for 2 1/2 years now (VIN 130XX) and think it's stunning. The X, not so much. We'll see how the marketplace reacts over time.

I've been a reservation holder for a year now. While I have configured the car multiple times online, I can't get myself to hit the "order" button. I was not overwhelmed by the updated design that was revealed at the launch event a few months ago and now that I have seen a few Model Xs on the...

Sorry if this has been posted before, but I searched and could not find anything. Does anyone have any information on the height of the driver's seat in the Model X? One of the main advantages of an SUV is greater visibility due to the seat height. In looking at the photos posted online, I'm...
