Are you sure they finance business-titled loans? I've been with DCU as well for nearly 20yrs now.. they are awesome. However, they don't do business-titled loans, apparently. They were the first ones I checked with in December last year.

All: My 2018 Model X was bought in my company's name, and financed by Tesla via US Bank at 4%, I want to refinance the loan given the current lower rates. Any pointers on which bank/credit union would offer a refinance loan on a business-titled Tesla with the best rate? I am in the Bay Area, FYI.

Wattage != SPL, i.e. more watts doesn't automatically equal higher loudness or Sound Pressure Level (SPL). Higher powered audio systems when used with high efficiency speakers will result in an audio system that can play louder and cleaner without distortion, given a lower powered audio system.

Having the car for just a few days is not a good enough excuse, IMHO. There are ENOUGH safeguards built in, contrary to the woman's claim - and it's not a great excuse to say that she had not gotten around to spend the time to learn and enable them yet. No other car delivery I had been through...

Sorry that the lady suffered a premature delivery, and happy that it wasn't worse - but her case should be pretty much dismissed straight-out. She claims that Tesla didn't build in ENOUGH security precautions to have prevented this issue. If she had a playful two year old that loves getting...

I *sugar* you not.. I took my Dec 2018 MX to the SC yesterday about this very issue. They did a test drive with me and tried to dismiss it as "just a Model X thing".. and not covered under warranty. The tech was saying that it was mostly body flex causing some brushing of surfaces, which apparently...

@JPP Thanks a lot mate! A small correction to your post, which you can hopefully edit. I called the 916-657-9035 number, which got immediately answered (~4:58pm) by an employee who said that they don't have the status information. I was directed instead to contact 916-657-8035, the field...

Could you share what number you called to check the status of your application? We're almost at the end of March, and they haven't even cashed my check. This is beyond frustrating.

I smell BS.. they received my application Feb 8th. They haven't cashed my check yet.

I wonder if there's a class action lawsuit to be filled against the DMV for burning up two months of the new stickers' validity period due to their inefficient processing. It won't be that bad if they gave a fixed duration for the stickers, but they are inconveniencing their customers with these...

Thanks to all who replied with your thoughts. I guess the one picture of the driver-side door showing the sticker behind it was misleading to many here. The comments made me go over to the car again and look for the gap, which thankfully doesn't exist now. I must have had the driver's side door...

That's weird. I bought my MX 75D in December 2018, with a loan from US Bank (through Tesla Finance, of course) - with the vehicle titled to my corp. Did you go directly to US Bank for them to deny the loan?

I can confirm the phantom biker as well, but this time, driving out of my garage into a slight drizzle. Don't think this happened before in dry conditions.

Thanks @MichaelS @BLKMS18. I'll try the Chevron wash.. for my other car. :)

Saw it this morning.. and was immediately skeptical of the story being a prank or FUD dropping the day before the Tesla earnings call.

Update: I just got my car back from Future Wash (futurewash.com), and I am really super satisfied at the result. Cost me $37 for interior and exterior wash and wax, and it is looking as good as when I got it from the factory a month ago. I'll give them my unabashed recommendation.

They could have proactively gotten the brakes replaced out of an abundance of caution after 150k and 262k miles. On a livery vehicle, you wouldn't want to take the chance at that much mileage.

I'm trying Future Wash (waterless wash - futurewash.com) today in Santa Row, and the car is moderately dirty from a recent 800mi road trip to Santa Barbara. I'll update on the results later today. I plan to wash the car myself at home using the ONR method (two buckets and a waterless wash...

Our scenarios are similar, except for the better ambient temperatures you have in SD. So you get better consumption when you travel, huh? For me, speed kills my Watts. Most often, I'm commuting 25mi each way to work by myself, mostly highway. I've found that my lifetime avg consumption is 375...

Dang! She's good! :cool: <insert 'I can't even...' GIF> Doubly impressive if it was in a Model X and not a Model S. :)

Thanks.. these are my thoughts as well. I'm on stock rubber with the 20" Silver wheels, and I wasn't driving it hard for it to fall that low. We had to compromise and give up another daylight drive in Santa Barbara as we wouldn't have made it to the Buellton SC if we used more than 14% battery...

Tire pressure was ~45psi, as they came from a recent service center trip. The headwinds were nothing out of the ordinary, maybe 5mph?

I took my one month old 2018 MX 75D on our first road trip over the MLK day long weekend, from Fremont to Santa Barbara. 2018 MX 75D seven seater, with 5 passengers - three adults and two kids in car seats. Total load of ~700 lbs including all passengers, luggage, car seats, etc. Max speed of...

When I pointed out these issues to the service advisor at the service center, he basically shrugged it off saying it's within their acceptable limits. I'm disappointed at the lackadaisical attitude at this service visit, even though I got a decent loaner, and they fixed the biggest issue -...

@bob_p It shouldn't squeak irrespective of the position of the seat. Make them test it thoroughly in multiple positions. I just got my X back, and they seem to have fixed the squeaks for now by "shimming the seat tracks", as they decided the fix. I'll observe and report over the next few days if...

@XtheGas Could you move your steering wheel, towards the driver, and see if this leather piece pops out? My service advisor tried to brush it off saying that's standard.. because a Model X is different from other cars. o_O

Can someone please check out the following image showing an exposed leather trim piece at the base of the steering column, and let me know if your MX has this kind of exposed edge??

I came to the X from a BMW 5 series M-Sport that had sporty seats with great thigh support, and initially felt the MX seats to be extremely uncomfortable - with poor ergonomics for placing the back of my arms on the door edge or the small, recessed arm rest. As I got to fiddle around with all...

On my 12/21 delivered 7-seater, I had the squeaks right out of the delivery center. I dropped off the X at the service center on 1/4, and they said it was a common and well known problem with the bench seats squeaking because the seat back moves/flexes even when unoccupied, causing the...

I ordered my Model X 75D on Nov 18th, and got confirmed on 11/21. The car entered production the week of 12/10 and was set for a delivery date of Dec 18th, but at the last minute, got pushed out to Dec 21st, as the production slipped by a day. On the delivery day of Dec 21st, I found a few...

You do have valid points given Rivian's claimed 400mi range. But that truck/SUV has 80% more battery capacity but only a 36% increase in range compared to the MX 100D. This indicates that the vehicle is not very efficient in getting the most mileage out of the bigger battery pack. In real world...

What is vcho?

The tracking spreadsheet seems to imply that cars are going from start to end of production in about 6-7 days - if the dates entered there are the real dates from the prod line, and not guesstimates by the buyers. That'd imply that our cars might still be in pre-production scheduling, ready to...

You should verify the entire ownership history on CarFax or DMV if you could to see if the car has had CA HOV stickers at any point in its life. For example, the car might have had one period registered in CA and then subsequently got sold to a non-CA state. I've read one story on the Tesla...

Anyone that ordered in November (ordered mine on 11/18) got their delivery date or details of their DS updated on their Tesla Account yet? I got dates of 12/17 and 12/18 for a pickup in Fremont delivery hub, from different phone conversations with my OA and the Cust Service last week. But no...
