    Model X vs Lucid Air Touring?

    510 mile range for the Grand Touring, with 300 mile recharge in 20 minutes, is compelling, isn't it?

    Model X delivery delayed; anyone else?

    Mine changed to march. I also have a lucid Grand Touring on order. I'm going to take whichever one arrives first.

    Model S price jump after editing order

    Yes, I did pay higher price. Not my best financial decision. But I also ordered the Lucid Grand Touring. At this point, I'm going with the Lucid.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    When you reject & go to the end of the line for a 6 months+ delay, does your original price remain the same or do they increase your price to the current higher price?

    Model X vs Lucid Air Touring?

    Ordered Lucid Grand Touring today. Still have the MX w Feb sched delivery. So, I think I'll try to synch around June-July before I decide which to take delivery on. If I get MX Feb delivery notice, I think I'll get out of line & go to end of line. Anyone know if Tesla increases price if you do...

    Recent trade-in experience?

    Tesla offered me $61K for my 2018 MX 75D c 36K miles. Carvana only offered $38K. I'll check Vroom & CarMax.

    Model X vs Lucid Air Touring?

    Well, I plopped down the refundable $1K & ordered the Touring. But now, in checking features it looks like it has no heated seats, heated steering wheel, sound system, auto-park, or self-driving, all important to me. I don't care about the extra range.

    What to look for in used MX?

    While waiting on my MX, currently scheduled to be delivered in january, I thought I would purchase a used MX with 50,000 or less miles. What questions should I ask and things to examine to assure reasonable range (say, at least 250 miles at 80% charge) and lowest reasonable battery degradation...

    Update on X?

    My MX ordered in July, originally started "January". Now says "We'll advise of delivery date."

    Only 165 miles on full charge in 2018 MX?

    This weekend I rented a 2018 MX to assure I made the correct January delivery decision. I was unpleasantly surprised that the max range I squeezed out over 4 trips was 165 miles. I did aggressively accelerate from time to time (couldn’t resist) & maintained 80-ish MPH, which I know negatively...

    Any way to change color without paying new higher $116K price?

    I was told by my Tesla associate that I could change the color of my MX, scheduled for January 2022 delivery, but my price would increase $11K to the new $116K price. Does anyone know of a work-around to avoid paying the higher price?

    VIN assigned and removed

    Exectly same story as me. Except my second VIN (225xxx) still shows September. I hope my delivery date advances to July like yours did.

    How identify VIN 225xxx features?

    Just received VIN 225xxx. Is there a way to determine what new features might be included in this VIN sequence?

    Model Y LR 7 seats white exterior black interior

    Exact thing happened to me this morning. My first pickup days, June 0; cancelled, VIN disappeared. Today a VIN appeared, a 255xxx, with September delivery date. Paid in full early June. I no longer trust anyone at Tesla.

    Cancelled delivery appointment, and VIN

    Saga continues. Got a new VIN today, 255xxx, but delivery now states “September”. That’s quite a story. Given a VIN in May, hard pickup appointment set for 1pm,June 10, Tesla cancelled Jun 7. Three days later VIN, a 218, disappeared & now I’m moved to September.

    Cancelled delivery appointment, and VIN

    You can see from posts above that the same happened to me. Had VIN assigned 3 weeks ago, one month after ordering my MY. Delivery set for last Monday. No call, but noticed on the app on Friday that appointment was gone, replaced but delivery date Jul 20-Aug 8. Two days later no VIN. I called &...

    Cancelled delivery appointment, and VIN

    Had a delivery date, but Tesla cancelled 3 days before. I called & was told my car delivery was delayed, but that I was put on “Priority Delivery List”. But just now I noticed my VIN # is gone. Should be worried?

    Acceptable VIN substitute or max mileage?

    My current VIN is 208xx. Had delivery set for Monday,but today Tesla cancelled because they said my car won’t arrive by Monday. I was told I’m on priority list for earliest delivery. I’m assuming it’s possible I will be offered an older VIN and perhaps a rejected MYLR. So, thoughts, please, on 2...

    To receive immediate delivery, pay balance in full via bank link

    Tesla should be a soap opera. So, after paying & then receiving pickup appointment for Monday yesterday, today I received notice that my pickup is cancelled & moved to July 20 -August 10. What?!? So I called Tesla & was told the reason for cancellation was that my car would arrive by Monday.

    To receive immediate delivery, pay balance in full via bank link

    My delivery date kept slipping. Yesterday it jumped 7 days to July 7-10. I still owed the entire balance minus my trade in. So this morning I paid in full via Plaid direct link to my bank. An hour later I receive a text to pick up my MYLR in 4 days. Is that the secret to get delivery?

    MY LR pickup today 210xxx The good and the bad...

    Ok. Here’s the deal. This morning I paid in full through direct link to my bank. An hour later I received a text to pick up my MYLR Monday. That’s the secret, I think. Thoughts?

    MY LR pickup today 210xxx The good and the bad...

    Poop!!! This morning my dates moved to July 7-10. I had hoped that the end of quarter June 30 was a critical date Tesla wouldn't miss. I guess I now have to worry that they will push me to last day of next quarter - Sep 30?

    MY LR pickup today 210xxx The good and the bad...

    My delivery date is slipping by one day over the last few days - from June 24-30, to June 25-30, to June 26-30, yesterday to June 27-30, and this morning June 28-30. Should I be worried?

    VIN 1MF208213 OK?

    My assigned VIN is 208 series, with Jun 26-30 pickup as of right now. If .... they try to give me a different VIN, which i've read here is not uncommon, how old a VIN should i accept? 199? 185? And what about acceptable miles driven?

    My Tesla Experience

    I gave up calling my SA and started calling main # = (650) 681-5100 = called 3 times and all 3 times spoke to different people and all 3 were very responsive and answered &/or solved my problem.

    Tesla Requires at least 60 days paid insurance to take delivery??

    I entered a fake VIN. Then, two weeks later when I rec'd real VIN, I updated my Tesla account.

    Delivery checklist

    Here's a pretty good one.

    Tesla changed our VIN One day before delivery for an older VIN.

    Thanks. I didn't take it as rude. I simply didn't think of Googling it.

    One Step at a Time - Gonna Place An Order - Advice Welcome

    That's what I did. Ordered MYLR for $100 to just get in line, then rented from Turo.com for 3 days to make sure it fits my expectations. Although I didn't need to, I charged it 3 times just to get the feeling. For me, the rental was a good idea before I make final payment.

    Experiences at Nashville Delivery Center?

    My scheduled Delivery Center (DC) is Nashville, TN June 24-30. Any experiences at this DC? I live in Chattanooga so have a 2 hr drive. I was planning on renting a car, dropping it at airport, then Ubering to the DC, inspect for 2 hours, then drive back to Chattanooga. Any tips/suggestions...

    Tesla changed our VIN One day before delivery for an older VIN.

    Where can I find the list of most recent upgrades like heated steering wheel, etc. and where to see what the new Center Console looks like?

    Tesla changed our VIN One day before delivery for an older VIN.

    Can you delay making final payment until after final inspection? My Tesla account states "Please pay off your remaining balance prior to delivery".

    Some more insight into the VIN...

    Xd85, same with me. Yesterday my delivery date was July 23-Aug 10 with no VIN. Today rec'd VIN 208213 with del June 24-30. Not sure what this means. Maybe it's just the end of quarter push as previous threads here have suggested?

    VIN 1MF208213 OK?

    I just rec'd VIN & June 24-30 delivery date. It was July 23- Aug 10 yesterday. I've been reading threads about older cars that had been rejected being handled to others. Here's the assigned VIN = xxxxxMF208213. I'm not sure how to determine if it's a newer or old car. Advice? Thanks in advance...
