    About an hour worth of inspecting. She came home today. Other than I apparently have a defective set of key fobs and the logistics company let Tesla know they put a slight scuff in the front fascia that is getting repaired, it’s perfect. Falcon wing doors are smooth after a dozen movements...

    I mean.. my LR order went to July and later that same day I got a VIN and now have a delivery date of Friday scheduled.. so could be some accuracy, at least for 6 seaters. Can’t comment on 5/7 seat

    Does anyone have confirmed all weather mats that fit for the refresh? I’ve seen some back and forth of older ones fitting perfectly. In the mad scramble of now getting all accessories together, delivery set for next Friday! Of course it had to come in the week I left for vacation. That being...

    The reality is, based on the pace of things, I at least know my car might have sat for 3-4 months vs getting a 2022 in late July that could have been there since Nov 2021. 🤷🏽‍♂️

    No real concern. It’s February. For all we know this car was made in early December and waiting for final components for a few months until now. It’s still a car that in any other time would be a depreciating asset, so the slight difference from a 21 to 22 is pretty minimal in the long run to...

    Maybe some hope for you all.. My Jan 14 2021 always 6 seat LR got bumped to July today. Absolutely LIT up my DA. He had the stock answer. Tonight, I got an EMAIL - VIN available. 5YJXCBE58MF3265xx Delivery window before end of Feb.

    Are we all ready for March to pivot to April? I’m mentally preparing for it to be here in time for summer. A mere 16 months post order if it comes by end of April. And here I was worried about getting it in time for LAST winter to start to wrap or coat it before it got super cold. Silly.

    Not true that they CAN. In Elons own words. Model cars are easy to make, production volume is hard. If the issue is truly the bench seats which is fairly confirmed to not be a Tesla in house make, it makes sense for those delays.

    A friend ordered an X Plaid on December 21. Has delivery window of the next 2 weeks.. asked SA and at least he was honest about it, but doesn’t make it any less frustrating.

    Having just made my first trip to California ever. And San Fran and north area, including time aimlessly wandering downtown and stumbling on random food and drink stops… it could be a lot worse. The city felt clean. Nothing like the level of dirt like a New York. Or nothing like the type of...

    When I called them this week, the lovely Ben told me to expect March, so I’m not surprised, but he did share at least the same sentiment that cars are moving out quickly. But seems like we’ve had no new VINners in awhile? I’ve unfortunately been slammed with work and haven’t stayed as current...

    I went from TBD yesterday. To February again today. Called the Tesla 888-518-3752 number and talked to Ben today on my 1/14/21 order. He didn't mince words that it's very sporadic where deliveries have been and minimal. He told me not to be surprised if my February EDD now gets updated to...

    Absolutely! But was just making the point that it can't just be an all in on CarPlay. I've love to have some light integration within Tesla UI for more phone interactions, but not a full blown CarPlay/Android Auto set up.

    Eh.. I get rental cars regularly right now.. cause you know, no Model X for 354 days now, and they've always had CarPlay, and wireless CarPlay. Candidly, I sorely miss my M3 interface.. Apple Maps is not good in my area, Google Maps continues to seem glitchy and sometimes will show the step by...

    On a local WI Tesla group I connected with someone who just got his VIN today on a 6 seat (not sure Plaid or LR) order from Nov 2020! VINs are happening still, but obviously also still quite the backlog.

    With the recently spotted S in Taiwan and alleged unvailing event, is it possible they’re shipping S/X globally early in Q1? I know that used to be the strategy. Might explain some light VIN activity early in 2022?

    Outside of Q end push, it doesn’t make much sense to not start sending orders to further locations. Highland Park. v Shaumburg, HP is a lower volume location by far and mostly to appease the downtown and north side crowd. Even repairs they often have to take them to Schaumburg, I had them...

    But to the best of my knowledge, no one here has ever had any "documentation", and that's where any action would fail. And unfortunately suing for a product not meeting a delivery time is not really plausible. Tesla has multiple outs in their agreement you signed already that they're never...

    I'm quite seriously considering putting in a new order today, and once I get a new VIN, seeing what my current X would sell for once I have it.. There will be quite a backlog for some time, and if the market challenges continue, there will always be someone willing to pay a premium to get it now.

    I feel like the 5/7 and Plaids are a bit like the first few X we saw. Couple of them, we thought floodgates would open, and then it was hush hush for awhile before any meaningful delivery volume happened

    I think my location isn’t helping my cause either. Pre refresh order, OG 6 seater, cash and no trade. I’ve seen my config with later orders delivered in IL but that’s still 8 hours transit away still.

    My current hunch, which if the guy who called me had any real insight and was true, is that they made a batch, the ones we saw sitting in the lot a month + ago, got missing parts, installed them and shipped. And since then have made more batches, and waiting missing parts again. I’m curious if...

    It's a fair thought, but if Germany is any indication to how Texas will go live, Germany isn't doing new 4680s out of the gates. And at start Germany will only be producing current white/black colors before they roll out new paint features/colors. So in all likelihood, you could get a Germany...

    That message is a stock message on every used Tesla now. Doesn't matter if its a used 2018 M3 or a "demo" 2021 M3. Same message that says pack could be as old as 2017. Its just to avoid a used car buying suing for the range not meeting the new car range published on the EPA sticker.

    I’m a bit genuinely curious.. how did you pay prior to a VIN? And why? I’ve never seen Tesla even having pay options until a VIN is assigned.

    Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

    I would guess that’s far from the case. No car starts the production line with your name on it. If anything they want to confirm it before they transport the car your way so the same situation from a few pages earlier doesn’t happen where a car can’t get picked up and someone from an August...

    I had a dream today that a VIN appeared and I scheduled delivery for a 2022 for the 24th.. And then I woke up and realized it was probably a pneumonia and fever induced hallucination. At this point I’m letting the ship sail on a 2021 delivery in MN, unless it’s already in transit year end...

    I don’t think there’s nearly a large enough data set in VINners and Deliveries to determine that. Especially since you can essentially add or remove it darn close to actual delivery time.

    Agreed. I want my car I ordered nearly a year ago a lot. But it’s not worth a few days earlier at the expense of someone in a factory of service center working holidays.

    But it definitely messes with their non-logical logistics.. Folks ordered after me with my config have gotten VINs or delivery in some cases in parts of the country and not others. So for all I know changing delivery location could get it quicker. Could bump back in line. Could do who knows what!
