How has owning a Tesla improved your life? | I am trying to persuade my husband into pulling the trigger on a Tesla Model X.

Is Tesla intentionally accommodating trailer equipped Model X s at new Superchargers now? | We re not yet sure what the towing capacity is of the Model X but we know it will have the ability to add a hitch.

What can the front doors do on a model x without PUP? | How can they be opened? How can they be closed? Do they still have motors or does pressing the handle just unlatch them? | 2017-09-10 17:39:12 | 17 | They re still motorized. Not sure if the brake pedal closes then though. There are literally no handles of any kind on the outside so they have to be motorized to open.

Any Model S owners living far away from a service station? | Hi everyone My wife and I are considering purchasing a P85 Model S. Had a friend s P85+ for a weekend and fell in love.
