Yoke or round, all I want is a honk button in the middle. I don't honk enough to develop any muscle memory for the new honk button and then when I do need it in an emergency I can't find it. Just put it back in the middle and you can keep your stalks.

I'm asking this poll here on the Model X forum because I want real opinions from people who have lived with the falcon wing doors for awhile, not just demo'd it in the store or just read about it. With the rumors of the Model Y unveil sometime this year, all I have been reading online is that...

Sorry to hear that. :( Did you have the same damage as mine? For me, the SC did not handle the repair. Tesla said that this was a collision repair and not a warranty repair so they referred me to a local body shop that they do a lot of work with. The shop had to replace and adjust the...

Here's two from today at Lone Pine and Lake Diaz coming back from snowboarding at Mammoth.

Apparently it's a known issue with the last update and will get resolved with the next one.

Took it to the Service Center. It was a firmware issue and they fixed it via an update. Easy enough.

So two days ago the charger door stopped opening when I pressed the wall charger button. If I press the charger door it opens. How do I figure out whether it's the wall charger that's malfunctioning or the car?

There is always going to be better. AP2 can detect 10 cars on the road, AP3 maybe 20. AP2 can react, maybe AP3 can do some basic predicting based on car movement. Maybe AP4 can see intent based on what the driver is looking at in another car. Just because it's Level 5 doesn't mean it can't...

So it looks like I'm not the only one. I'll bring it in to the SC and see what they say. Just bugs me having everything tilted.

I finally got a bike rack and installed it with the tow hitch. After mounting it I saw that the bike rack was noticeably tilted to one side. The driver side was lower than the passenger side. I took out my level and saw that the hitch is angled relative to the car. It's maybe 2-3 degrees off...

Turning off preconditioning appears to have worked for me so far. Thanks for the recommendation!

And, no, I don't have the new update that keeps the car cool automatically. Plus this has been happening for months.

I have a question that I've been meaning to ask for awhile. I've noticed that when I park my car in the garage, with the charger plugged in, that sometimes the fan would go on. For awhile, I thought that it was just cooling the batteries, but it would happen when I haven't driven the car in...

So, three months in, with daily use shuttling a 5 year old and a 2.5 year old around, and I'm happy to say that the seat backs are holding up very well. Shown is the seat back where the 2.5 year old sits. I am definitely not one to baby my car and both kids wear their shoes in the car. The...

Clek looks great and works wonderfully. They have a taller base than the other car seats that I've had so it does hit the front seat a little earlier when you tilt the second row seats forward.

Hi, sorry for the late reply. Did not notice the question. To be honest the shop did everything and I actually don't know how they did it. I did not receive any warnings of durability issues however. I have not washed the car since it was done but it's holding up well FWIW.

Just noticed that yesterday after the recent update. Much better now.

I gave up immediately in terms of keeping the seat back looking glossy and nice. With 2 kids (one 5 years old and one 2.5) it's going to be futile keeping it clean. And guess what? I ended up not caring at all and I feel so much better. Anyway, it's actually holding up quite well. The kids...

I'm sure they'll make fun of the doors somehow, which is too bad because I really like the doors.

I haven't done a direct comparison between the the factory Onyx wheels and my powder coated wheels. The guy said that he has seen it and said that the closest match is the satin black. I don't need an exact match to factory Onyx so even 90% there was good enough for me.

Yeah, I asked them to match the factory 22" Onyx black wheels, which has the same blacked out center caps and lugs.

Never had any wheels powder coated so I don't know what was reasonable. Most places I looked quoted about the same turnaround time. The price is also about par for LA as far as I know. Ended up going with Exoticar because of their Yelp reviews and Anthony seemed like a very straight up...

No problem. Welcome to Pasadena. Definitely happy with powercoating the wheels. For the X of any color, the dark wheels ALWAYS make the car look better IMO. I haven't seen a single color with dark wheels that looks bad, and there have been a lot of X's in the neighborhood.

Got them done at Exoticar in Westwood. Anthony's the guy and he is very responsive and nice. Lot's of Teslas go through there. They're right behind the Tesla Service Center actually. $200/wheel. Turn around time is 2-3 days. I had to leave my car there for the duration.

I know some people have been interested in powder coating the factory wheels. Just had mine done in satin black. Turned out pretty well I think. I always thought that the silver factory 20" wheels look very small compared to the car. Turning them black I think tricks your eyes into seeing...

Let's hope he's right. I love the FWD and yes, it is a software problem, so completely fixable. Durability is yet to be seen but that's a separate issue. To me, being complex doesn't mean it'll be unreliable. A gas engine is exponentially more complex than a falcon wing door and yet most...

This is definitely the best angle of the MX. Stunning. It's so shiny. Did you have it wrapped?

This is great. Do you have any pictures of the final install? How much did he charge if you don't mind? I live in LA and will definitely use him if you think the quality was good.

Can't you just double tap the park button, open the driver's door, stay in the car, and close the door again?

I've been thinking about the user interface of the Tesla lately because of all the news about user error, etc. With all the different dings and other alarms going off from the interface, there can be both sensory overload and alarm fatigue, to the point where the user either ignores it or is...

Thanks for the advice. I just ordered a powerline adapter with Wifi built in from TP-Link, so we'll see how that one works. The ZyXel one looks really good, but I don't really want to have to get a separate access point just for the Tesla since my new router services all my other equipment well.

My understanding is that merely installing a wifi extender will decrease the throughput of your entire wifi network, which is why I'm hesitant to install it just for this purpose. My new router has very good range and with my phone I'm getting a good signal in the garage. Like others have...

My Wifi signal is pretty weak in the garage and in the driveway. So much so that often I cannot summon or connect to the car because it's able to get a signal (so doesn't use LTE), but the signal is so weak that transmission is off/on. It's very annoying. I want to just turn the Wifi off and...

I have the 90D and can verify that the angle of the spoiler changes with speed and retracts fully when parked and locked.

How many days do I have to part with my X to do a full wrap?

It needs to be smarter when on the right lane of the freeway. It does not do well when dealing with cars trying to merge. I don't know if it has the ability to read lights on the cars in front of me but if the car is feathering the breaks in front of me then it should slowly leave a bigger gap...

No. I checked before I posted. It closes by the same arc it opened with.

Does anyone have recommendations for a full wrap in the Los Angeles area?

Perhaps an easy fix would just have the door close using the minimal arc by default regardless of how it opens. This way it will minimize but not guarantee it hitting anything on the way back down.

Let me see about the measurements tonight. My wife has the car right now. I slid the bike in through the back and didn't have to adjust the 2nd row seats, which was all the way back. Now having thought about it, I would always put the 2nd row seats in the forward tilted position when putting...

Yeah, I'll definitely keep the forum updated. I just got the inspection from the insurance company and will be taking it to the body shop next week for them to do the tear down and get a real estimate. My biggest fear at this point is having to wait weeks or months for a part. All I hope is...

I just checked again and it is now a relatively loud and continuous beeping when driving with the door open. Either it was there and I just completely spaced out, or it got updated with the most recent OTA update two days ago. I guess it doesn't matter at this point.

The warning is definitely subtle, like the seat belt off sound on a plane. Just a ding. The screen doesn't flash red or anything like that unfortunately. Hopefully this will be addressed in a future update.

Yup, Moots. Love it and a keeper for life. :)

Actually, come to think of it, I tried to fit the bike in with the two 2nd row seats fully back. I think if you lean one of the 2nd row seats all the way forward as if you're going into the 3rd row, I bet you can easily fit the 61 in the same way I did. When you're done, just move the 2nd row...

That's actually not a bad idea. I can paint it and velcro it onto the floor so it's more stable.

I have the 90D without the premium package. Front seats are not perforated. The driver's door does close when you step on the brake. It also will motor open when you press the door handle. It will swing open wide if it doesn't detect an obstacle and only slightly ajar if it does. It's...

No, if I pulled the bike so that the fork reached the cargo cover, then the front chain ring will have to be on top of the folded down 3rd row seats, which would then make the seat go through the roof. Won't work that way unfortunately.

Hmm...I definitely was able to move the car. The warning sound was soft and the sign on the dash I guess was not sufficient to cue me in. Not saying there is a design error, just distracted I guess.

Perhaps this is what you were looking to accomplish? I was just able to fit my 54cm road bike in between the two second row seats. Any larger frame would have required you to lower the seat. What I really wanted to do was to attach a fork lock onto the floor so that it would stay upright, but...
