    First Trip in The X

    That makes sense, but I had my key fob with me both times, and the car should automatically unlock when I'm holding the keys and standing next to it. So it is strange that I could pull out the charger one time, but not the next time!

    First Trip in The X

    Question on this - I was charging my X at a J1772 charger the other day on a road trip. The first time, I charged it to full charge, and I was able to just pull out the adapter and charging cable. The second time, it was still charging - I tried to remove it, but it seemed locked in. I think...

    Preference: manually shut front doors or depress handle?

    I gently push it closed. When I try to push the handle, there's no resistance behind the door so you kind of have to use two hands to push the handle. I just don't slam it.

    Rust under third row seats

    I haven't seen rust, but we had all this grease from the hinges that was getting on the back of the third row seats and looked really bad. It was really noticeable when they were folded down - there should be some kind of additional flap that covers the back of the seats when they're folded so...

    Anyone using 3 car seats (Diono RadianRXTs?)

    Not sure if you read the owner's manual (I admittedly haven't!) but there is a section on child tethers and where to place them for each seat in the vehicle. It also discusses single-strap vs. dual-strap tethers.

    Midnight silver metallic on the model x??

    I did get the perforated seats, but I haven't had them long enough to know if they will hold up, other than the incident with the blood on the seat that I mentioned!

    Midnight silver metallic on the model x??

    I love the white! It is so unique, and I think it makes the interior feel bigger. I don't know how it will hold up over time with kids. My mom cut her finger and was bleeding on the white seats and it wiped right off. It definitely shows dirt more easily from my daughter's shoes (she is in a...

    So sad. . .the X is going back to service center :(

    Nope - the times I've seen it happen have been inside my garage (nothing blocking it, plenty of room to open), and when it has been outside in the rain. I don't know if rain somehow messes up the sensors? It normally works fine outside when it isn't raining. But obviously a car's doors need to...

    So sad. . .the X is going back to service center :(

    Problem is happening again with the FWDs not opening fully. Car is going back to service center this weekend for the second time.

    So sad. . .the X is going back to service center :(

    As an update to my original post - the car went to the service center for a day. They weren't able to replicate the FWD issue, but it seems to be resolved since we did the latest software update. Fingers crossed that it continues to work without any issues! They said that the screen freezing...

    Drop-in phone charger with a case?

    Hi - has anyone been able to use the drop in phone charger with a phone case? When I picked up my car, they told me that my current phone case (iphone 5s) wouldn't work with the drop-in charger. My case is pretty standard - just a rubber grip thingie around the back and edges of the phone. If...

    6 seat versus 7 seat - need HELP please

    I had the same worries - I ordered the 7-seater, then saw all of these complaints about it and wondered if I should have gotten the 6-seater. I'm happy with the 7-seater, however. A few thoughts: 1) I think that the issue with the middle seat headrest is WAY overblown. When I'm backing out...

    So sad. . .the X is going back to service center :(

    Yes I thought that's what you meant - but I am having the issue in parking lots now as well, so it doesn't seem to be specific to my garage! This is how it looked today when I was out running errands. Sometimes it opens a little more, sometimes a little less, but rarely opens all the way on its...

    What to say when asked how much your X costs...

    I've thought about giving this answer since my husband actually DID buy it for me as a surprise Christmas gift! But I think it can come off sounding sort of out of touch...a new car is a major investment for most people, so to say that you don't know how much your car costs and that your spouse...

    So sad. . .the X is going back to service center :(

    It is still not resolved, but they are coming to pick up the car on Tuesday and investigate. I'm not going to touch anything like that before they arrive, I want them to see the problem for themselves! I will mention it to the Tesla person and ask them about it when they get here!

    So sad. . .the X is going back to service center :(

    I'm not sure if we would have actually. Or we may have bought it, but only if it were way less expensive with regular doors. The doors look cool, which is a huge selling point, but they actually serve a purpose (when they are working properly!). For me, it is a lot easier to put a kid in a...

    Ahhh thanks!!! I'm thinking that these don't sound like very realistic suggestions but I will try to be polite and respond anyway haha

    If they said the sensors were fine, then how did the issue with the doors get resolved?

    So sad. . .the X is going back to service center :(

    My garage isn't heated, so that's not an option, but it hasn't really been that cold here - 40s at night and 60s during the day. I would think that's a reasonable temperature range for the touchscreen! One time it happened was in the morning, but the other time was in the middle of the...

    So sad. . .the X is going back to service center :(

    Got my Model X on Wednesday, and it is going back to the service center on Tuesday so they can investigate two issues I'm having: 1) The biggest issue is that one of the FWDs doesn't always open all the way, even if nothing is blocking it. For example, in my garage, there is PLENTY of room...

    Rear facing child seats in 2nd Row

    I have a 2-year-old now and will be having a newborn this summer! I could turn the 2-year-old around and have her face forward. That would give us a lot more space in the front passenger seat. . .but it is so much safer for her to rear face and she doesn't seem to mind riding backwards, so for...

    Rear facing child seats in 2nd Row

    Here you are. . .this is with the Clek Foonf behind it. I had a minimum of 5" between my knees and the glove compartment. One thing to note - my rear facing car seats are not in the fully reclined "infant" positions. Both of the seats show that they have to be reclined to a certain degree...

    Rear facing child seats in 2nd Row

    I know a few people were curious to know how a rearfacing child carseat would fit in the second row of the Model X. I tried both of our convertible car seats and they both fit. We have a Clek Foonf as our main car seat and a Cosco Scenera NEXT as our travel car seat. The Clek took up much...

    interesting that it is different in some cars! I will probably leave it open most of the time anyway to access the cupholders

    does your stroller fit in the frunk or the trunk (with the 3rd row seats up)?

    I think a single umbrella stroller would probably fit in the frunk and also the trunk with the third row folded up? I don't have one so I can't test it. But this is my travel stroller in the car. It won't fit in the frunk because it folds in half, but you have two options for it in the back of...

    See a Model X in New York

    Mine has been in Syosset. I'm picking it up in Manhasset - not a service center, just a store. The DS said that they have a few now, so might be worth checking out the Manhasset store and see what they have in the lot over the next few weeks. I think a lot of people who will be getting them...

    Model X - Missing and most wanted features

    I do this all the time in my garage because of how our garage is laid out - I have to walk all the way around the back of the car to get to the driver's side since the front is blocked by our recycling containers. Plus it's easier to load my daughter into the car when I'm not carrying my bag...

    The Model X and the lament of the introvert

    Getting mine in 2 days...These are definitely my biggest worries about the X! A) people asking how much it costs, B) people asking what was wrong with my old car (a 2014 Highlander). I'm just going to blame it on my husband: "oh, he really wanted a fun car, but he only drives 5 minutes each day...

    Model X - Missing and most wanted features

    When I get into my car, I usually put my bag (with my key in it) on the front passenger seat, then put my daughter in her car seat on the passenger side (2nd row), then I walk around to the driver's side and let myself in. If I'm traveling with another adult who will be sitting in the passenger...

    Midnight silver metallic on the model x??

    I definitely think Titanium will hide dirt better! And being in a sunny environment, I think it will look awesome. It looks like a nice subtle metallic gold in the sun.

    Model X : Rear entertainment options

    I have a Toyota Highlander now and we are trading it in for my Model X this week (yay!). We splurged for the DVD system in our Highlander and our daughter has never used it once. Two reasons: 1) She is perfectly happy to play with her iPad mini. 2) Kids are supposed to be rearfacing in car...

    Midnight silver metallic on the model x??

    I was debating between Midnight Silver Metallic and Titanium - ended up going with the Midnight Silver. I saw them both in person on Model S cars. It's annoying because the different curves of the car will make the colors look different, so seeing the colors on the S is not the same as the X...

    Seat Protectors for Child Seats/Boosters

    I am getting my X on Wednesday and also have the white seats. You should call your car seat manufacturer. If you use something that they haven't approved, it voids the warranty on the car seat (and they would potentially not be liable if the car seat ever malfunctioned and you sued them). I...

    Production (Non-Sig) Model X Vin #'s now being issued

    Premium Upgrade Package

    I could be mistaken, but I think we ordered it for a) the automatic opening front door, and b) the Alcantara material headliner. I think the car just has a regular fabric headliner without the premium package, and the Alcantara seemed much nicer. I will also dealing with a toddler and a...

    Can passengers enter the 3rd row if there are 2 child seats (w/kids) in the 2nd row?

    thanks...I don't think any cars with a third row work well with two rearfacing car seats!!

    Can passengers enter the 3rd row if there are 2 child seats (w/kids) in the 2nd row?

    In the unveiling video, they showed people getting out of the third row with a kid in a car seat in the second row...HOWEVER, that car seat was forward-facing. I'm really curious to know if adults can get into the third row with a rear-facing car seat in the second row!

    Midnight silver metallic on the model x??

    does it show dirt really easily? I just ordered the Midnight Silver as well, but still thinking about changing it to a lighter color because I don't want it to look dirty all the time.

    Incentive for Model X Owners to Show Off their Vehicles Locally

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA you are in for a rude awakening, my friend. Wait until your toddler is having an epic meltdown about not wanting to get in their car seat - you will let them eat anything if it will get them to stop crying and just get in the damn car already. Your kid is going to eat and...
