I've had my MX for 6 days. Plenty of issues that will hopefully be addressed at my service appointment next week. And even though there are issues, I am so happy with this car. It really is the most interesting and beautiful SUV and nothing even comes close. And as long as they fix the whining...

Fantastic Delivery, yesterday! I walked the mile and a half to the service center on a beautiful 83° day. Immediately downed two bottles of water. The free water made me forget the extra $5500 I paid for those sexy 22" wheels. I think I can now call it even. The car is in great shape. They...

After a full month of having my VIN and original delivery date, the ACTUAL day is FINALLY here! They seem to have supreme confidence that it will really happen! I'll be walking over to the Service Center shortly. Hoping the seats are attached with at least two bolts each. They already...

Hello everyone! My last post talked about how I was about to receive my MX on Thursday, March 31st, as part of the mad EoQ rush. Well... believe it or not, hehe, it did not go as smoothly as planned! :D Wednesday evening, I received a call telling me there was a firmware issue that they "had...

How did I get a VIN well before my "July 2022" EDD? I was proactive. I made numerous trips to the showroom and service center... making my presence known! :D Friday, I made another bi-monthly trip to the Austin Domain showroom and spoke with the manager. I told him, if it would get me a car...

I just got matched to a 2022 Model X! I ordered white on white with 20's, but the Austin delivery center has a white on white with 22s. I don't reality want the 22's but can't pass up getting it by tomorrow! I'll keep you all updated on this fast moving development! :)

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Rivian R1T (aka the Rivian Lena Hyena):

Well, that depends...

https://www.tesmanian.com/collections/tesla-model-x-accessories/products/2021-2022-tesla-model-x-floor-mats-6-seater-full-set-pre-order I just ordered the complete set along with screen protectors. And now I ask myself: Why will I have floor mats AND a Tesla home charger, when I don't even...

Today I had the pleasure and privilege to meet the one and only Stro! He is a nice guy on this forum, but he is even nicer in person. Such a generous person to take the time to meet with me in Austin AND let me drive his amazing Model X!!! So many new owners are raving about their new MXs...

Despite Rumors, No Future Option To Choose Wheel Or Yoke The Yoke vs Wheel debate has been put to rest. Tesla will no longer offer the wheel and is going “all-in” on the Yoke concept. An official Tesla photo of the July 2022 Model X was released to the press this afternoon. Elon Musk tweeted...

Waiting for your SA to tell you that all the dirt splatter and grime is "within spec." 😂

Yesterday I drove into the Austin Tesla SC and saw a BEAUTIFUL white refreshed Model X! I asked a Service Associate if I could go see it and he said "No, It's someone's car so you can't" Totally understandable. I didn't actually ask to go inside the car, but left it up to his interpretation...

Breaking News! Tesla Transitions Away From Pure Vision. On the eve of February 24th, it was announced that all Model S and Model X vehicles built from mid-February on would only equip "Pure Vision", and no longer would utilize any radar to perform its functionalities. However, only hours...

I’ve heard all the rumors about matrix lighting and VHS. And I will say this: if the July 2022 Model X comes with a built-in VHS player, the wait will be worth it and all will be forgiven.
