Honestly, I'm happy with my 2021 Performance model vs. paying 20k more for the new plaid version. The interior does look much nicer, and if they were the same price i would choose the refresh version, but i would definitely not pay 20k more for it.

Haha. Yeah but that would actually be around the price (in USD) that you pay for the 22" set of wheels if you buy a new car anyway: USD 3,500 (for the 20" set of wheels you give up) plus USD 5,500 for the 22" wheel option adds up to USD 9k anyway :) So if I was interested in a set, I would...

I have mentioned this in other places as well: The price of the 22" that Tesla charges is ridiculous, because you basically go from getting the 20" standard wheels (included in the order at no additional charge) to 22" wheels at +5.5k, that prices these wheels at the premium of 5.5k plus the...

haha that made me laugh :D

Alright, that sounds comforting. I currently have a Model S 60D Yeah that's a good point actually, I think my driving is a deadly mixture between highway speeds and very short trips with a cold battery. On these short trips i usually average 450+ wh/mi.

So I averaged 416wh/mi (280wh/km) over the first 625mi (1,000km) in cold December weather with the 2021 performance model, most of it at highway speeds (75mi/h or 120km/h) with three people in the car. Seems quite high to me, any other experiences?

If I could change one thing, it would be a less chubby steering wheel. Really love that it's heated though.

I would second that. Not sure what kind of luxury cars reference is made to above, but the interior of the e-tron for example just feels cramped and packed with stuff and I would much rather like spending time in the X than in that car (even though the "build quality" of the Audi might be...

Switzerland is probably not representative for European demand, especially not for the models in the higher price segment...

Agreed, also the way the incentive is structured, i.e. some free SuC for inventory cars and price increase for new orders... We'll see I guess.

According to my sales advisor, it's due to high demand for these models, he referred to an email that apparently was sent internally this morning. Also, there are now 5kkm free supercharging in addition for each inventory car that you take off by December...

What accessories come with it? The UMC, some windscreen sunshades, first aid kit, ...?

The discount is probably also due to the fact that it's not the latest version as there were some changes to the 2021 VINs (even though doesn't seem clear yet wjat they actually were besides increased range, if any...)

Any update?

Does this only happen if you turn the feature on?

You can either tell by the stated range of the car or check the VIN (if it's a 2021, almost certainly you will get an H pack). Based on the cars that are listed as in transit, it seems that the shipment includes both, G and H packs. Anyway, don't get too hung up on this, it's an awesome car...

Makes sense. Is there any data on 0-60 times with both wheels out there? Not that it would matter much in real world driving but still interested to know.

Thanks a lot, that's helpful. If you say "less performance" you are talking about range, right? Not 0-60 times or similar. Actually, the price for the 22" is closer to $9k (the c. $3.2k standard wheels are included and you pay a premium of $5.8k for the 22").

Can anybody comment on the ride quality of the 20" vs. 22" onyx wheels with the new air suspension? I only drove a 20" model and it seemed to be very soft (at least in the higher settings), so I can't imagine the 2" difference in wheel size making it really harsh, but it would be great if...

Thanks a lot, very interesting read. I'm currently waiting for my X to be delivered. One of the things i really like about the car is how spaceous it feels inside and that you can climb easily from the passenger seat to the second row (5 seater) for example to calm down a crying baby. Also the...

That's with all the Xs or just with defective doors?

Could you post a link? There is no tire that matches this exact description (or I'm too dumb to find it). Thanks!

Thanks for this. Which are the exact tires you are referring to ("Pirelli Scorpion Performance Snow")? Thanks a lot.

Sounds great, I just saw a grey X with black wheels on Sunday and it looked awesome. I'm not sure yet, either 7 or 5 seats (as we will need cargo space more often than transporting more than 4 passengers, but the 7 seat option would still be nice just in case) and definitely a performance. I...

Congrats! What spec did you get? Also considering ordering from Switzerland...

Can you look up your configuration online after you ordered? For the inventory cars, the only place where the model year is shown online is the tab (using google chrome), so it shows 2020 for the "old" models and 2021 for the newer ones with the increased range. Maybe this helps.

I called a sales rep in Switzerland today and he was suspecting that the estimated delivery in March is a mistake on the website, but they have not got back to me yet...

Why do you want to move back?

Yeah that's kind of what I think. And I would not expect the package to cost 4x as much four years from now - that would limit the competitiveness of Tesla cars quite substantially.

My wife and I are planning to order an X within the next weeks. We are pretty set on most of the spec but undecided regarding FSD. We are planning to lease for 4yrs (in line with the warranty) and might consider purchasing afterwards if we should still like the car. With regards to FSD...

I just checked on the inventory LRs and they show 507km so you were quite close so that means that they also got a significant push from 507 ro 561 (ca. 11%).

Here they have dropped the leasing rate with their preferred provider from 3.5% to 0.99% until Dec 13 (so for all orders they could still ship this year I guess), with Tesla supposedly covering the difference. So for people looking for a lease, it is kind of a price decrease. I therefore doubt...

At least they have not amended it for the showroom cars listed for sale, which should be quite current builds (but might also be that it just has not been updated (yet)).

Possibly, but the increase is around double that. But that might also be due to different testing/measuring standards. I also did not catch whether Tesla itself actually increased their advertised range in the US or not, so wanted to share this anyway.

So as of today, the stated range im Tesla's configurator increased from 487km to 548km (+13%) for the Performance version and to 561km for the Long Range version (unfortunately don't know what that figure was before). They also increased stated top speed for the Performance to 261km/h (Long...

I guess that's easy enough to fix, we were more worried about the actual closing mechanisms not being sensitive to objects in their way. But that doesn't seem to be a real issue based on what can be found on the internet, so I hope we can tick this box off ;)

She's adorable :) Thanks a lot for the responses. I guess we have to play around with the doors a bit more on our next test drive and also simulate some more real life kind of situations (it's clear that the guys in the video try really hard to get things crushed, what your kids probably won't...

My wife and I are considering buying an X, but after watching this, we are wondering whether safety concerns are warranted under real life conditions with kids and the automatic doors: Any experiences, thoughts, comments? Much appreciated!

Thanks, will check them out! Yours definitely look nice.

A Panamera Turbo S, but it doesn't depend on the car. As I said, might be regional difference/local laws. That makes sense, thanks. Let's see what we're gonna go with.

I have a Porsche as well and the warranty would be gone with aftermarket wheels, but might be different across regions. Range is not my main concern either, so i might just go for it due to the looks. How much does it affect the ride and handling? I was only able to test drive models with the...

I think that is good advice, do you have any recommendations, preferably black as well? Does aftermarket hurt your warranty? I know that may sound ridiculous, but it's for example the case with Porsche.

This combo is awesome. I was convinced not to go with the ridiculously expensive 22", but seeing this I'm not so sure... :(
