Around town, I always use Waze on my phone. On road trips, we typically run Tesla Nav and Waze on our phones to compare routes. Tesla Nav is horrible for handling real-time traffic issues in-town.

I charged overnight there last Friday night and believe I was getting 16 mph.

Favorite: Auto-present and auto-closing doors. Driving husband's S today and super annoyed that I have to open and close my door. :) I also really like the well behind the third row. I can fit a bunch of grocery bags down there, put the lid down, and then put another row of bags on top...

Phew! I am making similar drive on Friday and was getting nervous about the 9% charge left! I also have a Model X 90D...

Yikes! I am driving from Midtown Atlanta to my daughter's school in Buckhead Atlanta then to my sister's home in Mountain Brook, near The Summit, on Friday afternoon and was hoping for more of a cushion than 9%. Sounds like I will need to drive straight to one of the chargers on the Plugshare...

Yes, thanks for making this charger public, PWHB. I am looking at using it this Friday night or Saturday morning and sent you a DM. If anyone else here has used this charger and has thoughts on likely availability and safety of leaving my X there for several hours or possibly overnight, please...

That must be it. When entering the rough gravel alleyway, I have the car in D and my foot on the brake when raising the suspension to High or Very High. Then, before entering my garage, I have my car in P when lowering the suspension back to Low or Very Low (trying to avoid anything hitting...

Mine makes noise too, as does my husband's 2.5 year old S. Guessing it is normal, though the sound can be a bit unsettling.

One more "best practices" question: does it matter whether I am in D with foot on brake or in P when I adjust the suspension?

Yes I pretty much always hear a creaking sound when I adjust my suspension, which I do fairly often. A few questions: I believe mine was set to Low at delivery. Is Standard better for everyday driving? What about road trips? Also, I have been raising mine to High at the entrance to our rough...

Yep, Mila Kunis is pictured loading up her Metallic Silver X (my twin) in this week's US Weekly.

Jewel. Short for "Precious Jewel." With what we paid for it, it might as well be a precious jewel. Plus the Metallic Silver tends to glisten in the sunlight like a jewel. I didn't plan to name my X, but this just came to me on delivery day when I was prompted to name my car.

I guess I am confused then as to why they are called "delivery specialists" if they are not present for delivery.

Yeah, something very odd is going on with the whole DS system. I spoke with mine on the phone twice (after several emails with no reply) and then he was a no show today after we traded voicemails yesterday. I had three other random people help with various aspects of my delivery today. And two...

Took delivery of my new X this afternoon. As part of the walk through, I was prompted to select a time tonight for the software to download. It should begin downloading at 12:45 a.m. I'll try to come back here tomorrow and confirm that it in fact downloaded.

At the service center taking delivery...LOL. Interestingly, my DS isn't even here for my delivery. Not sure what the heck is going on with that. X looks great save a minor scratch on the black plastic under front bumper. There are a few other minor things. Right now they have taken my car...

Yikes! So sorry to hear that! Headed to pick up mine in Decatur in an hour, fingers crossed!

How did it go? I am picking up tomorrow--same DS and location, I believe. Thank you to everyone who worked so hard on these lists!!

Exciting! I doubt it will get pushed back. I drove my husband's S yesterday for only about the third time in 2.5 years (he was getting my car detailed in preparation for a Car Max appraisal/trade-in with Tesla so I had his car for the day), and it made me that much more excited to take...

Yes, my DS is in Decatur. I am scheduled to take delivery on 9/28. It is frustrating, isn't it? I actually need to talk to my DS today just to make sure that everything is still on track before I take my car to Car Max tomorrow to get an appraisal that will only be valid for 7 days/250 miles...

In my experience, yes. I never got any responses to my emails. I finally got a call from my DS after I stopped by the service center to gather information about the status of my car. DS said to call him in the future, and that has worked. Kind of annoying if you are an email or text person...

For what it's worth, I never got a production complete email, and the only reason I have a delivery date is because I called my DS to ask about the status of my X, and he told me we could go ahead and schedule an appointment. I'm picking up in Decatur on 9/28. I think my car will be ready next...

CONGRATULATIONS! So I can't help but ask, given your screen name, whether you have school-aged kids and where they are in school? Not that it matters, but I was wondering whether I will be the first Model X driver in the carpool line at my kids' school (Westminster). I am taking delivery Wed...

USAA quoted me $899.16/6 months (up from $659.72/6 months for my 2007 Acura MDX). USAA also insures my husband's 2014 Model S and our home.

Either get an S (my husband drives one and loves it) or wait a few more months to order an X. I do need the extra seat in an X for carpooling kids and waited as long as I could to configure given all the issues with the early VINs. Probably would still be waiting until next year except that my...

My Tesla still says that my X "is in the production queue" even though I know that it has been produced, and I have delivery scheduled for 9/28. I would definitely call your DS. Mine never reached out to me, but when I called him yesterday, he seemed to be expecting my call and wanted to...

Finally got a Tesla auto-email -- that production was complete -- so I called my delivery specialist yesterday afternoon, and we scheduled a delivery appointment for 9/28. He said that my car could be here sooner, but that seemed like a safe date to choose. I did get another Tesla email that...

Thanks to both of you! I ended up speaking with my delivery specialist today, and he also recommended two wall connectors (that is what he called them, and he said they would be $500 each for an 8.5 foot cable). I think we will run the extra electricity to our garage and do that, when we get...

We have a detached two car garage/carriage house with 100 amp service. I had an electrician out 2.5 years ago to get a quote for a Nema 14-50 before my husband took delivery of his S only to learn that we don't have enough available amps out there. Options were to either run a new circuit to...

Anyone know who is generating these emails? And why some of us receive them and others do not? My husband and I have both been checking our spam folders to make sure we haven't missed anything. And nothing since we confirmed 6/30, even though I was told last Saturday at the store that my X...

At least your DS responds to emails! Mine still hasn't responded to emails dating back to mid-July. He did call me Saturday after I stopped by the service center to get info on my X. That was the first time he had contacted me even though I confirmed over two months ago! He said that his...

Yes! The casual drop-in at the store works. I have sent two emails to my delivery specialist over the past month with no response to date. I found myself near the Decatur (Atlanta) store today and stopped in to ask about the status of my order. Got good info from the gal behind the desk, and...

Love how My Tesla says that he will reach out with updates, yet mine hasn't even bothered to respond to an email I sent him back in July. No communications whatsoever. (In fairness, I did get my questions answered a couple of weeks ago by calling the service center and talking with the person...

Interesting. I am VIN 145XX, was told mine would go into production 8/22, but I have received no such email. I was told it would take 3-4 weeks to get to Atlanta once production was complete.

It looks incredible! You chose the most perfect shade of pink. Enjoy!

How exciting! Will be fun to start seeing more Xs on the road in ATL! I have seen what I suspect is the same blue one around Midtown/South Buckhead a few times over the past several months...

You know what? I have been told several different things! First I had a DS assigned in Marietta. Then I had a woman at Lenox emailing and calling me about my trade-in. Now My Tesla page has a different DS listed, and states that I am taking delivery in Decatur. However, that DS has never...

DS told me yesterday that production would begin 8/22, take a week, then it would take four weeks to ship the car to Atlanta. Ready for delivery around 9/24. VIN 145XX.

My husband reports a blue Model X with FL tags plugged in at his Midtown Atlanta office's parking deck for 24 hours now. Interesting because that exceeds the time period for reserved charging in that deck. He guesses it is a Loew's hotel guest who wasn't informed of the charging time limits.

Awesome! Yep, my VIN is a little lower than yours. September delivery would be a really pleasant surprise.

Starting to see a few on the road in Atlanta. Blue on Peachtree driving south from Piedmont Hospital area through Midtown on Thursday midday. Interestingly, the tweens in my car said the X looked small and couldn't fit a third row and were in disbelief when I told them that it is actually a bit...

Late Sept.? I haven't been told anything (granted, I haven't asked) but I am guessing early to mid October unless there is a push to make a bunch of third quarter end deliveries. Vin 145XX. Confirmed 6/30. 6 seater 90D. Midnight silver with white seats, AP, premium pkg.

Have now seen two in the wild in Atlanta. Both metallic blue. One several Sunday afternoons ago on Andrews Drive near St. Philip's Cathedral. The other near 16th St. and the #11 fire station in Midtown (Atlantic Station) on a weekday afternoon last week. Embarrassed my kids by waving wildly...

Thank you so much for these detailed reviews. We are also a family of four, with a tween and a teen, and two dogs, and we similarly do not need the FWD and I personally do not want the added attention they will receive nor the likely additional service calls. I'll be honest here. If there...

...and now I am thinking that it could be very fun to possibly have the first X in my kids' school carpool lane! :-)

We have a reservation but have not yet configured. Planning to do so this week. Wanted to test drive and then give it some thought. Completely shocked to get an email claiming that we could configure today and have the X delivered by "April or May"!!!

Still haven't seen my first Model X "in the wild" in Atlanta. (Saw several at the Meet Model X event last week.) My neighbor saw one with AL tag a few weeks ago, though. Meanwhile, I can't drive 1/2 mile to the grocery without passing a Model S, often several. Wonder how long it will take...

Old Acura MDX (2007). Will likely keep for the 14 year old son to drive in a couple of years, though the Model 3 could be a good alternative, making us an all Tesla family (husband drives an S).

Awesome! I am headed to Decatur tomorrow for my test drive. Can't wait! For what it's worth, don't expect record drive times on your road trips. Our first road trip in husband's S was almost 8 hours for what is usually a 5 1/2-6 hour drive from Atlanta to Jacksonville. A little tough to get...

I am with you, Mike, but I am going to order and just hope for the best. I am really hoping not to have a repeat of the experience my husband and I have had with recent cars. My husband drove an Acura sedan for years and had zero problems mechanically or otherwise, so I bought an Acura MDX...
