    Car Seats, what inside your X?

    Any luck with the photos? I've been trying to figure out how to make a R120 work in my six-seater and I haven't found a good way to interface it with the existing seat shape yet.

    Should I.... And a few Questions (advice needed)

    I can't argue with the fun of go! Especially if it's more important to you than range. I just want to clarify the range thing: I recently drove a signature P90D instead of my 75D for a week (service loaner) and my average Wh/mi was consistently 75-100 higher despite me changing acceleration...

    Model X floor mats

    There's a picture in one of the other floor mat threads....which I can't find anymore...the shape of the floor mat is not quite perfect for 6-seaters with VINs of 23xxx or above. There are small gaps where the floor mat gets skinnier about 3" before the car does. I'll try to take a picture...

    Should I.... And a few Questions (advice needed)

    I will add my voice here to the group saying not to worry about quality issues. There were a few minor annoyances from the factory but they've been resolved quickly, just like bugZ. Plus, think about how much gas that Range Rover will burn in the year or two you might wait! I fold my back seats...

    Will skis fit inside the 5 seater?

    Two thoughts: There is a post floating around here somewhere where someone figured out she could slide her skis under her 'middle' row in a five seater. They pitched up at a diagonal but fit just fine. She had pictures too - it looked great! Secondly, in my six seat confit I can fit our 180cm...

    Where to put kiddie crap in X with no door or seat-back pockets?

    I use both the stow`n`go and the car caddy. For us the X is our car trip, skiing, family travel car as well as what I take my girls to school in every day. The car caddy has worked well as a 'catch all' and I use the stowNgo as a slightly more organized space, though I don't love the extra kneee...

    75D Owners - What's the max. supercharging rate you have seen?

    96kW is the highest my HW2 75D has ever gotten, even with a hot car at 5% charge. From other threads by the battery nerds here, 96kW is the best our battery pack can handle (due to the math around the number of cells).

    Model X floor mats

    I have been very happy with the ToughPro mats. Originally I didn't want to get them, as I liked the look of the Weathertech so much more, but my wife convinced me that having something was better than waiting and she was sure right! They fit well, apart from the little divet in the trunk mat...

    P100D vs 100D - $37K?

    My first reaction to this was "oh good!" followed by "3k is totally reasonable". I don't think Tesla should be making pricing decisions based on whether folks who have already put in orders will be pissed off. That's looking backwards and is generally bad for a company. They need to price...

    Anyone got screen shots of 2.52.36? Possibly HW2 AP?

    Elon's tweet suggests that this is the shadow mode release of AP. Couple that with ev-fw.com showing a ton of updates (mine included) on exclusively new VINs I think we can say that for sure. Twitter

    Installed v8.0(2.52.36)

    Damn! I was hoping .36 was the autopilot enabling update for the 1000 lucky ones. Thanks for letting us know!

    Driving in icy/snow condition

    I have the conti cc lx sport and they are M+S. So far they have been great for me in the snow, so while I'm considering a second set of wheels with more serious winter tires I'm not convinced yet. Attaching a photo. Sorry for the quality, the flash was not kind.

    Anyone got screen shots of 2.52.36? Possibly HW2 AP?

    Has anyone been offered 2.52.36 yet? Tesla Firmware Upgrade Tracker Web App shows only 10 installs (1% of tracked base) all on new hardware so I'm hoping it's another revision (beta?) of the AP2 release.

    Auto Volume increase with speed

    It'll be a cool feature enhancement when they add it!

    MCU theories

    I have to say I'm with Texas and Jaguar here. Tesla will likely upgrade the MCU when they see a pressing need for it, and anticipating when that will be would require internal data about their roadmap that we just don't have. There are a few places where the interface is laggy (map rendering...

    Slow Supercharging

    @chrisNchris, I'm not the charging expert here so I may get corrected but I believe that the 75kW batteries have a lower max charge rate, possibly due to having fewer cells. In any case I think 96 is the max you should be getting.

    Turning off BT (iPhone) auto-play when the car turns on?

    Thanks for that background @Aljohn. I can understand why some folks would have asked for that. It makes a lot of sense to me to resume the radio or streaming services upon car start, as clearly that's audio you listen to in the car. It also matches the behavior we're used to with previous cars...

    From a windshield wiper to SC backing up my new MX into a wall.... seriously.

    Oh no! You waited so long for that car, too! Speaking as someone who worked in technical service for many years, I'm glad to hear they were forthright and upfront about what happened. Mistakes are human, and how folks deal with those mistakes tells you the most about the company.

    Winter tires for Model X

    Ahahahaha consensus? Have you spent much time on these forums? ;) It seems like folks from the far north - Canada, Norway, etc - can't believe anyone drives without winter tires in winter. There's a large group of folks who have slipped, either in All Season or Summer tires, and an equally...

    8.1 seems imminent...

    I'm just looking forward to EAP, limited even as it is for now. I also saw a tweet from Elon saying that they'd have a new enhanced iOS app coming with 8.1.

    A Better Routeplanner - for Model X Too

    Hype hype! I have been very impressed with ABP. I input some drives we've done where Tesla Navigation underestimated drain (mostly due to elevation change) and when I enter my normal long-trip Wh/mi average (375) it's accurately predicting where we indeed have to stop. I have yet to try it in...

    400 kW Tesla Charging via Chargepoint

    I couldn't find another thread on my question before but now I did. It looks like the speculation is that it's battery pack limited (by the charging speed limits of the cells). Supercharger V3 over 350kW

    400 kW Tesla Charging via Chargepoint

    While I'm excited about not having to buy a CHAdeMO adapter, I've been wondering as well about that 400kW number. Will it be feasible to retrofit existing cars to support more than 120kW input (with a reasonable retrofit like the 75A upgrade), or is that tied into the battery pack construction...

    Driving in icy/snow condition

    Thanks goneskiian! I didn't think to look for a separate SUV section. Does anyone have data or experience with real world tire wear for winter tires in 60 degree weather?

    Staying comfortable in Extreme Cold

    So you're using Amazon.com: SKYLIGHT Sunshade for 2016 Tesla Model-X Sunshade #1641T-A: Automotive ? I really like the Tesla mesh set. Maybe I can squeeze a blanket under them.

    Driving in icy/snow condition

    Boy, the internet is full of very conflicting opinions on the matter of All Season tires, Winter tires, and the various subclassifications within those! It's a little bit like the opinions in this particular thread! ;) That being said, I'm wondering if folks have any data to share about three...

    Seasucker ski rack-use and experience?

    Yeah! I'm super excited about trying this solution. We got the tow hitch on our X for bike and ski use but this seems a lot easier and less bulky, though it means my kids can't reach their own skis...

    Model X Winter Driving Experience

    Was that 482 all the way to Truckee or Reno? My total average was a lot lower than the 650 for the climb because of coming down the hill.

    Model X Winter Driving Experience

    If I did the math right that's 676 Wh/mi, which is remarkably consistent with my last Rocklin-->Donner Pass crest (no snow, driving consistently 45 mph out of range fear). It makes me feel a lot better/fear traffic less knowing that the slow speed makes up for the cost of running the car for...

    Model X Winter Driving Experience

    I've never had a problem going through chain control with AWD (Infiniti G35x before) with all season tires. Seems with Donner Pass either they close the road or don't worry about it.

    Leather seat worth it? PUP configured and have 2 naughty boys

    My family went with leather seats but not PUP *specifically* to avoid the perforated leather. - Leather seats are easier to clean up from spills etc. The 10yo Prius this X replaced had fabric seats that were just a miasma of child stains. - The perforation in the PUP seemed to directly negate...

    Range in winter conditions and mountain driving

    That sounds a lot like the drive from the Rocklin SC, and presumably the elevations are very similar, so I suspect you'll be fine with a full trip charge. PlugShare also shows some emergency plugs you could hit after that if need be.

    8.1 seems imminent...

    Thanks FlatSix, that's super helpful. I had suspected that they were driving hard to get the safety features going asap -- for obvious reasons -- and that everything else that might come with them were icing on the cake. I gues this answers that Autopilot on HW2 is not linked to 8.1 as my now...

    8.1 seems imminent...

    Ok, I still don't know what the relationship between 8.1 and EAP is, but it looks like a few HW2 owners are getting their long-awaited autopilot tonight! HW2 Autopilot software uploading to 1000 cars this eve. Will then hold to verify no field issues and upload to rest of fleet next week. What...

    8.1 seems imminent...

    See, given the context of the tweet he's replying to, which is asking "What about 8.1 for HW1?", it seems to me to be clear (unless he misspoke) that he's differentiating AP1 HW and AP2 HW, which suggests that 8.1 is what drops tomorrow for AP2 HW. Elon Musk on Twitter But then again we're all...

    8.1 seems imminent...

    Yes, my reading of those tweets was that 8.1 for AP2 HW was coming soon, but 8.1 for AP1 HW is a month off.

    6 seat MX owners with baby seats

    I have a 4yo in a big booster (Frontier 85), no babies anymore, but I love the 6 seat configuration. The extra space around the seat is super useful for late night drives (getting back to the second or third row to adjust a sleeper without opening doors, managing pillows and blankets, etc) and...

    Sub Zero package required when going to Tahoe or colder place? 3 days left

    I would get it again. I also live in the Bay Area and go up to Tahoe, and love it for these reasons: - Seat heaters for everyone is really luxurious AND more energy efficient than running the heat, which is nice in low battery situations. - Heated steering wheel is really really nice...

    8.1 seems imminent...

    I know, Tesla time, but Elon tweeted tonight: Resolving an Autopilot HW2 bug that shows up when booting from a subzero cold-soak. If that fix works, software will start uploading tmrw. Add a few days for another few last minute bugs to show up, I'm hoping that we AP HW2 folks will be being...

    Turning off BT (iPhone) auto-play when the car turns on?

    Has anyone found a way to disable the automatic "play" command the car sends when it turns on and connects to the phone? I can confirm it's not the phone trying to be smart -- the phone clearly gets a play command from the car -- and it drives me nuts to have whatever I was listening to last...

    [Firmware] Update could not be started?

    Two interesting things I've seen so far on .180... - Speed limits are displayed on my instrument panel now. - The car icon is showing me when things are close by as I drive past them. This makes me hopeful to see real AP soon.

    Passing the time

    That is indeed what I ended up doing, and for the most part it's fIne. It would be perfect if the X didn't trigger a Play command every time it connected to a BT device. As it is I have to pause whatever audiobook she was last listening to when I turn the car on with her iPad nearby, then...
