People have asked me how a car with no door handles does in ice or snow. Tesla has equipped each side of the Model X front doors with an Ice Breaker, to open the door with more force than the regular door motors offer.
Don't put your fingers or anything else inside the deployed icebreakers, they do not sense pressure or anything and retract with a similar force to their deployment, but if you or a child does get caught, don't panic. Press the door button or pull the door handle again and the car will re-deploy the Model X ice breaker mechanism and at this point you should quickly remove the obstacle (body part or foreign object).
If your Tesla Model X door is frozen don't worry try to open it anyway and these little ice breakers should get the job done, even if you don't want to wait 15-30 minutes for the heater to pre-heat the car.
What has your experience been with the Model X ice breakers? This was literally the first time my Model X P100D has deployed either of the icebreaker units.

After 3 years and 3 months my friend Brandon's 2022 Rivian R1T has finally showed up! It's 2022 Rivian R1T Launch Edition Delivery Day! The Rivian Guide picked Brandon and his wife up from the airport here in Washington DC, so we met up at Port City Brewing and discussed the journey. It happened to be the anniversaries of when I preordered the Tesla Model 3 sight-unseen and when the Model 3 showed up!
There was a ton of noise from HVAC, to idling Semi Tractors, to tons of trains so for the exterior shots I used a noise suppression algorithm since the lavalier mics we wore shutdown thanks to an unrequested settings change.
Brandon then took us on a tour of the Rivian R1T in its launch edition spec.
You can see our previous videos on the journey here:

The couple then drove the truck home over the weekend arriving safely Saturday.

We received Tesla Software update 2020.36.11 this week (we received this firmware twice in a row) the only noted changes were the option not to leave the passing lane when on Navigate on Autopilot and bug fixes.
I did not test Smart Summon this release. Autopilot and Navigate on autopilot feels more sluggish in operation, much like the car did on AP 2.5 hardware coming from my initial upgrade to HW3.

We met up with some Tesla Owners from Charlotte, NC and joined Charlotte Motor Speedway's first Cars and Coffee. My wife took the 360 camera to check out some of the participants the Teslas drew the largest crowds thanks to the Model X dancing and the Premium Sound cranked to 11, that video is coming soon. For now, take a look at all the cars she could see before the 42 degrees Fahrenheit temperatures and wind made her return to base.

Using Tesla Smart Summon in a parking lot, as seen from inside the car.
I used Tesla Smart Summon's Come to me feature to call the car over to me from across the parking lot, with my phone. The car did a fine job even though it arrived on the wrong side of the road.

I promised to show you how to charge your Tesla Model 3 using the Tesla CHAdeMO adapter for when you need a charge outside of the Supercharger network.
Today we meet up with Shawn from Tesla Family Channel to see RS Automotive the nation's first gas station to convert to an EV charging station before they closed for the day. While we were there, of course, we had to charge up.
This adapter is not inexpensive at $450 MSRP but it will help if you travel off the path of the supercharger network, or if a place you frequent has one of these chargers running on the CHAdeMO standard, like your office, apartment/condo, or grocery store.

Officially the Supercharger in Warsaw, NC has been deleted from the map and is “not public”. Unofficially the Host was hostile to Tesla owners and Tesla removed the station from the computer to avoid any further confrontation. My understanding is that this is why the Wallace, North Carolina station is located where it is.
The station is a six stall installation with a traditional layout, you’ll be checking the stall directly adjacent for you for a shared number to avoid splitting a charge with a neighbor and slowing you both down. The first one charging has priority so mostly if you arrive second you are slowing yourself down.
There isn’t much to do here there is a Taco Bell, a few other chain restaurants, and some gas stations. If you want to spend the night in the Quality Inn that is an option and will likely result in you being one of the few Tesla owners they don’t have animosity with.
I give this station a zero out of 10 because of the drama, I can give it a bonus point for being close to the highway. If you are staying in the hotel I can call it a 9 out of 10 because of the perfect location for a late-night or early-morning charge to continue your journey.
UPDATE: The station was finally removed in 2019 or 2020, all that's left are the concrete footings and the fencing last we heard.

I took my brand new 2018 Tesla Model X P100D with Ludicrous to Dorchester Dragway, my local 1/8th-mile dragstrip, a week after picking it up, it took down everyone that came at it including a Dodge Hellcat and a tuned muscle car. It took the prize for Domestic – Street Tires group. When it came time to go against the Imports – Street Tires winners they all chickened out.
Model X Performance victims in the video include: Dodge Charger Hellcat, Souped Up Ford Thunderbird with drag radials, Subaru WRX sedan, Subaru WRX hatchback, Honda Civic hatchback, VW Golf Type R, and a very blue Toyota Camry.
The Model X started the night at about 95% state of charge and finished back at my house with 70% charge after over 30 runs down the track, most were in Ludicrous Mode's Max Battery feature (I selected "Bring it on", instead of "I want my mommy") Launch Mode wasn't used at this event. Putting the Tesla Model X in a Drag Race was my most fun drag racing to this day.
