We were going to head up to Rexburg early in the morning, but since it will probably be a gong show up there, we may just hang out around the Idaho Falls SpC and then drive south like a bat out of hell after the event (translation: 2mph expected). For those traveling up I-15, be aware that...

Mine sounds like a jet taking off anywhere in warm weather (you hear it clear across a large parking lot), and supercharging is pretty slow <60kW everywhere I go (sometimes I get lucky). But I wouldn't say it's super loud in mild (70s) weather, so not sure if mine is hooked up right or not.

Not Ellensburg, but just made a trip from Portland, OR to northern Utah yesterday and pretty much every single supercharger on the way was slow. I got lucky in Boise, but everywhere else took 3 stalls to finally get something that would stick in the 90kW range at mid-SoC, but there was one that...

Ours has done this for maybe around 9 months. We haven't bothered to take it in to service yet, but it's pretty annoying and it doesn't matter what the temperature is as it will fail 100% of the time. Adjusting the pads hasn't worked, and it looks like the pinch sensor on the driver side at the...

Exactly the same for us.

From my experience hauling a parachute, also known as a U-Haul box trailer, from Oregon to Utah you can probably expect about half of normal range. If you slow down a lot and have a shorter trailer you should get some of that range back.

Yeah, we plan to drive up to Rexburg that morning, unless weather patterns force us to head a different direction.

I'd love to go. I referred 6 buyers in that period. But unfortunately clicking the RSVP link in the email just gets me this: "Thank you for your interest. Unfortunately, this event is private and for invited guests only. If this invitation was forwarded to you by a guest, please kindly ask...

At the Boise SpC last Thursday, I was the only one there and outdoor temp was 58F and initial SoC was about 12%. First two stalls I tried were very erratic with the kW bouncing all over the place sometimes seeming to restart from 0. Moved over to the third stall at around 39% SoC and was getting...

I have towed a number of parachutes, er I mean box trailers with an XP100D and it wasn't uncommon to be in the 800Wh/mi range. On one leg with outdoor temperature around 55F and a little elevation gain, I went from 98% to 1% even drafting behind a semi for a fair portion of the leg before I lost...

Last period, I had 10 referrals, but 4 cancellations so I missed out on the Powerwall because I couldn't replace the cancellations. What was really annoying though is one guy placed and cancelled 3 orders with 2 of them on the same day.

We went with the P100D because the 100D didn't yet exist and we needed the range. I started by taking some winter weather scenarios and calculated a common round trip we'd be making often and on those cold days which happen a lot around here, there just wasn't enough buffer left over with a 90D...

Our video of it tonight for the neighbors.

Any updates on the Rocky Mtn Power ordeal? Also, we moved into Cache Valley this Monday and it only took until Thursday to spot another Tesla here, a white refreshed Model S P90D at the Olive Garden. I was surprised to see another so soon out here.

Average speed I believe is 62.5mph, for most of the way from the Dalles until the Boardman rest area I was drafting behind a truck at I believe 71. I was using various following distances, but I think I was at 4 most of the time. These were essentially new tires and I'm not sure how long they...

Yeah I hadn't gone that way before and when I saw the hill up in front of me I did my best Tesla Bjorn impression (sheeeit). I'm somewhat curious if someone at HQ looks at the charging data and stuff like starting charging at 1% gets a look over with the car's logs. I ended up diverting to...

Under Controls > Trips tab in v8.0 you can name Trip A and Trip B to something friendly by tapping and holding until a name box shows up. Then there is a check box next to it that will make it show up on the instrument panel when you have the Trips app selected.

Hauling a loaded trailer in an XP100D from the Dalles, Oregon to Kennewick, Washington. Started at the Dalles SC at 98% and ended up at 1% at the Kennewick SC. The reported energy consumption was 89.3kWh after 131.3 miles. So with 97% used that puts the useable capacity of this pack with about...

Before the promo ended I saw my counter on My Tesla display 3 referrals, but yesterday I got the email to provide address and it only had the leather duffel with 2 referrals. Does anyone know if the counter on My Tesla goes up when an order is submitted but not delivered or only goes up when a...

We'll be moving to Utah at the end of the year and we have plans for a solar installation some time in the near future (maybe a Tesla roof). Assuming this goes through, I suppose we'll just have to go grid-assisted without net metering using several Powerwall 2s and size the array accordingly...

Perhaps this is what led to the divorce. :)

412 wh/mi at 1700 miles on 20" Michelin Latitude Sports. I don't think the Tesla Ambassador Ludicrous demos are helping that number out though.

Well there goes my residual value on my August 31st built X. :P

The only time I had some minor weaving was when there was lots of water on the road and the lighting made the lane markers discernible only about 5% of the time with human vision and AP must have been following the lead car. Otherwise I haven't really seen any difference and since "AP...

We got the 6 seater X, but in our narrower Lexus RX350 we also used 3 Diono Radian RXT seats with good results. Those seats can be used as highback booster as well as the kids get bigger.

I guess I don't have to give all my money to Elon. Now I just need an autonomous electric snowblower and we'll be set.

My guess is an autonomous electric lawn mower because I need one to get one step closer to being a gas-free household, and I'm allergic to grass clippings, so that's where the autonomous part comes into play.

I know right? I was considering looking into reversing the orientation of the OBD port, but this is good enough I guess. If someone finds a cable built the opposite direction I may have to splice a new one together.

I wasn't a big fan of the ODB Memory Saver sticking down so far and wanted a sleeker lower profile connector. So I picked up one of these cables: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01C2M2ZZG/ Cut the cable and spliced into the above mentioned socket adapter with 12V (red) wired into pin 16 and...

Yes I happened to be staring directly at it when it happened. The plastic trim gets caught up on the body as the door opens and thr snapping sound is that plastic snapping back into place as it clears the body. Now that the plastic has deformed (broken) it doesn't make as much noise, so there is...

On our P100D, State Farm policy doc states 2016 Tesla Model X EV Sport Wagon, the card says 2016 Tesla Model X EV and the temporary card they emailed said 2016 Tesla Model X Electri 90D.

A little over $4k here in Oregon, but the quotes were all over the board even in the same city. The installer we used had reasonable rates and had a large portfolio of Teslas including another stealthed midnight silver Model X. They did a good job.

We just got our Midnight Silver Model X back from the shop for an XPEL Stealth wrap which gives it a matte-like finish. I had seen a few pics of a Model S with this treatment, but none on the X, so here are some pics for your viewing pleasure. :) Image Gallery: Tesla Model X P100D Midnight...

I finally had a trip where I could charge to 100% and it came up as 287 RM. Man, watching that last 2 RM was painfully slow. :)

You are a lifesaver. My X is getting wrapped right now, but before we dropped it off I was looking at how to run the cables and I was ready to pull my hair out before I even started. These visual instructions should make it a whole lot easier. Still worried about the rear hatch but we'll see how...

I'm in the market for a Blackvue 650 install in a Model X in the Portland area. Did you have any luck finding a good place that will do it?

Cool, I'll have to keep an eye out. Yes, we purchased a house in Nibley.

Does anyone know about how many Teslas are in Cache Valley? We're going to be importing our Model X when we move there around the new year.

Our recently delivered XP100D 20s were Michelin Latitude Sport 3.

Correction: 257 RM at 90%.

Correction: 257 RM at 90%

P100D with about 100 miles on the pack is sitting at 253 rated miles at 90%.

It is sitting at 253 RM at 90% this morning. They set the charge level to 100% at the delivery center, but the SoC never made it above 90% before we rolled out so I don't yet have a number at 100%.

Here is the door sticker on our P100D with 6 seats.

I'm not sure what the normal depth would be, but I can measure it. That pic was taken one handed while trying to corral a 1 year old who insisted on repeatedly running out of the garage at the delivery center. :)

Here is a pic.

Single camera, no clue on extra radar wiring though.

Yes it was changed just a few days before it hit the line. I'll get some pictures when I get back to the vehicle. But I did post the battery pack label in the P100D thread.

Just got the P100D. Yeah baby yeah.

Just took delivery of our Model X P100D. First one in Oregon (even including S).
