That topic is extensively discussed here: Model X IRS 100% Deduction “Hummer Loophole” - 2018 Edition

I know exactly where you are coming from. After being spoiled by BMW interior, Nothing seemed to cut it for me. Mercedes looked like 'that 70s show', Audi was trying too hard, Lexus didn't even come close... and the Model X interior is the same as the Chevy Volt's that I once owned. Same cheap...

I had the same dilemma last month and started a thread here. I took delivery of my Raven X on Sept 21. I ended up leasing after doing a lot of research on this, and trying hard to justify buying. I just updated the original thread with why. Here's the original thread: 2019 Model X Raven: Lease...

OP here, with an update. I took delivery of my Raven X on the 21st Sept. I finally decided to lease. Here's why: Basically, what I found out is that all things considered, it worked out pretty even at the end of 36 months. May be buying is slightly ahead. But not much, may be half of the sales...

Took delivery on Saturday 21st. Raven Model X, Midnight Silver, 7 seater with FSD. Ordered on Aug 9th at Sunnyvale, CA. Picked up at the Fremont delivery hub at the first scheduled date. Pickup was scheduled for 12:30PM. I arrived early with family around 11:30AM. We were greeted by happy...

What is + 2K miles...?!

Picked up the car yesterday as scheduled. Everything went exceptionally well. Will save the rave for another post! For now, I don't even know where to begin, completely blown away and lost for words to express the feeling!

I am taking delivery tomorrow after waiting 6 weeks since custom ordering. I escalated this incentive issue pretty forcefully through my sales rep. Got a call from the sr. manager who said that he spoke to the director and had the following message: "We never gave free upgrades or price cuts on...

According to Tesla (Bay Area), this was only offered over the last weekend, and only on inventory vehicles. "We never gave free upgrades or price incentives on custom ordered vehicles. When someone orders a new build, we first try to match that configuration with a new inventory vehicle. If we...

Got a text on Saturday 14th September, saying they expected to deliver my Model X within 1-2 weeks. Got another text this morning saying that the car was ready for delivery. Dropped by Tesla Showroom to change home delivery to Fremont delivery hub pickup, since the website had no option to do...

I chose the LR mostly for the efficiency and range as a refined family hauler. I have had a Yamaha R1 since 2007 for the 2.8 second 0-60. I could buy a brand new one now with the $16K+ I saved going with the LR... You are not going to take your minivan to the track. There's nowhere else you...

If so, how are body shops in Cali fixing it...?! Or other brands fixing their cars in Cali and not having these problems...? Where did you read this? calibashing.com? the-kremlin-gang.com? Sounds to me like another CalExit! :p Tesla has delivered cars with whole panels unpainted, or door edges...

Ordered on Aug 9. No VIN yet. Sales rep has stopped responding to emails. Sent one asking for update at end of 3rd week. Nothing. Waited one week and sent another at the end of 4th week. Nada. Dropped by the Tesla showroom on the way back from work yesterday, and caught him red handed. With a...

I have a friend from college who lives very close to Heathrow. His X is close to 2 years old and it has served him well. Recently some plastic part under the falcon wing door hinges broke, and was fixed by a mobile service mechanic within 48 hrs right on his driveway. Mine is on order and even...

When I ordered my Raven in August, the Tesla sales rep told me that they brought back the free supercharging for new cars by taking them off the used ones that had them... So I am not sure that that will transfer.
