    Deliveries of $80k X?

    That's insane, the EQS was and is selling so poorly but I've heard from brokers that S. FL dealers are notoriously difficult to get deals through. This particular deal was in PA, but since had similar in the northeast and west coast. Dallas is also a terrible place to get dealers to move, but...

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    This was back in March/April when the EQS deals were the strongest. A bit of a unicorn deal tbh. Residual was high IIRC on the 24/7.5k term which at the time was the most favorable. Residual was 66-67%, but the MF was higher than what you've shown. End of day, the dealer was doing 16-18% off...

    For non-inventory Model X Plaid orders placed in September 2023, what is your estimated delivery date range?

    Was going to cancel my order but posted the reservation in case anyone in TX/Dallas needs the vehicle sooner. Free transfer if you want it, VIN assigned ready for delivery scheduling 10/18-10/23. Has the $1k from referral discount still on it. Details here...

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    Sorry, 3 posts in a row... Got delivery scheduling text today. Does Tesla allow transfering the "order" to another person? I got in at $1k referral discount + $250 yoke...wondering if anyone would want to take it over. Wouldn't want anything out of it, but might help someone out if they've got a...

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    iX/EQS/Q8 are selling so poorly recently that dealers are willing to do 10% off MSRP easily, plus the captives are passing on the $7500 credit which benefits folks like me who don't qualify otherwise. Plus, there's add'l mfr cash, Costco, Penfed etc. On the Q8, for example, $14750 is easily off...

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    I had already placed the order for the MXP (I don't qualify for the tax credits), but then started re-thinking it because we anyways are going to buy a large/barge, 3-row SUV in the next 18 months. So, started targeting vehicles that had good lease structures. We shopped the iX, Q8 and EQS. I...

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    Got my Ultra Red Plaid [2023] VIN last week for a Dallas delivery. EDD: 10/18-10/25 I'll likely end up cancelling the order as I closed on a Q8 etron lease last week. Not sure the X is worth double the payment. Will probably be better off waiting another year for larger 3 row products to come out.

    For non-inventory Model X Plaid orders placed in September 2023, what is your estimated delivery date range?

    Dallas, red Plaid with no options except yoke got assigned yesterday. PF418 with EDD 10/18-10/25. I'll probably reject the VIN though bc I've lost interest in it, unless there's 0 issues upon inspection.

    Model X Ultra Red Waiting Room

    I did it on my S with Hyperdip. Really easy and cheap to do if you take your time with multiple coats and time in between. Looked great and held up with no chipping etc.

    May Reject MXP Delivery Today

    Triggered? I'm was highlighting the overall ownership experience and, yes, they don't care if someone stays or leaves which I mentioned as well. I never said Tesla is luxury nor have I ever posted about demands from Tesla on random stuff. There's a reason Tesla bought back my MSP without much...

    May Reject MXP Delivery Today

    I think some of these comments overindex on initial build quality issues vs. the entire ownership experience. Fine, some tech features and the UX in Teslas are better than EQS, iX, eTron, etc. and some may prefer Tesla's minimalist approach. But, what about month 9 or month 19? Getting over...

    2022 X tint percent

    $800....discounted?! Wow... Here in Dallas, windshield ceramic IR for Xpel/Llumar/Suntek is around $200-400 max. Around here, a full SUV (all sides, rear, sunroof and windshield) in ceramic IR go for $800-1k max.

    My disaster of a delivery experience (No quality control)

    I really wanted to love the R1S after our S Plaid disaster (ended in a buyback). I had written off Tesla, but the R1S ride quality felt so harsh and the power delivery jerky (can't think of a better way to explain it). Have they rectified that via updates? That, coupled with the fact that Rivian...

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    Re: leasing Yes, Tesla's lease restrictions, residual and money factor all are terrible. But, why not just do a balloon? It gives flexibility, MRMs are high, money factor is sub 6% and extra miles usually end up being 10-15c worst case. I'll never buy a Tesla after learning my lesson on S...

    Advice on Accepting or Rejecting Model X

    I would reject as well. It will be a frustration inducing hassle for you afterwards to get them to fix these and fix them correctly. A guy on another Facebook group literally had to go thru the lemon law process after Tesla improperly fixed issues that originally came at delivery. Tesla service...

    Wiki Model X Order/Delivery Tracking - Google Sheet

    When you order, you can add the business name as the registrant. After ordering, you can also go into the app to manage the registration info. Note that Tesla will put both your name and the company on the docs. Which can cause another set of issues during titling if your state doesn't allow 2...

    Model X Ultra Red Waiting Room

    Agree. I did full ppf on my S and, even tho it "only" cost $5k, I feel like it's a waste in hindsight. If a rock hits it hard enough, yes it won't damage the paint, but you'll still see that imperfection in the ppf. If you sell, no dealer or buyer will care about the ppf so you'll never recover...

    Anyone that completed a Tesla delivery in Texas?

    Isn't the funding piece instantaneous in the app? Meaning, could you do the inspection and, if acceptable, press the button to fund and then they'll release? I saw a YouTuber in Cali do that, not sure how it works in TX. I'm in TX as well, but the last time Tesla made me pick up in Colorado...

    Plaid 21” rear tire woes - factory defect?

    Let us know what you find out TSLA Pilot. I have gone through 3 rear PS4s now with the same issue. They keep replacing under Discount Tire's hazard warranty, but it still costs me $150 each time and puts my car out of service for 2-3 weeks each time due to unavailability of tires. Massive...

    Working on a group buy for PPF in the DFW area. Drive up and maybe save some $

    I'd recommend Scott Solar for ppf, I've seen them do great work. Can't say the same for another installer that is lower in cost and gets ton of volume. Really low quality work, pm if you want to get more info. Good luck, wish I'd had the opportunity when I got mine done a couple months ago!

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I would call the main number asap and let them know. They can work w the delivery center to hold it up to a week. Otherwise, if you're able to pick up in advance of your travel and if the car is already in transport, they might be ok. Only issue is the EOQ, they'll definitely want to show as...

    Scrambling for plaid loan last minute (advice)

    I did 100% financing through Tesla as well. Ended up being through Chase Bank, 72/2.49%. I would try calling Tesla/Chase and speaking w a loan officer to see if they can cover the full amt.

    I thought I was prepared based on reading everything on tmc, but sometimes I wasn't sure if people are nitpicky or if things look as bad in person vs zoomed in pics. Well, now I'm sure, the fit/finish is glaringly bad in areas -- any layman who's ever bought a decent German car before could spot...

    2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

    My MF440 picked up yesterday has the worm. IMO it's not very prominent as pics make it seem to be. In most lighting it's not that conspicuous. There are worse things about the fit and finish than the worm, unfortunately.

    Yes, those are bad. Mine are egregious from the pick up yesterday. Delivery specialist noted it and the service rep said to leave the car out in the sun and they'll go away 🤣🙄

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Sounds about right. I'm in TX and Geico was $984 for me, $250/500k, they were the cheapest I found. I have an existing policy with Noblr and they came in at $400 for 6 mo. once they updated their database for my Vin (took 2 days).

    Ha, I felt the same when I picked up mine yesterday, coming from a '15 Stage 2 M6 Comp. That car was fast, but the Plaid is on another level. Thought the YouTubers were just fakin it for views, but the consistent power is incredible. That said, I do kinda miss the engine and exhaust sound...

    2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

    Just picked up my Plaid. Seats were terrible -- lots of creases, indents, pulls/stretches. They noted it and said I could set up service once I get back to Dallas. How much of a panel gap is acceptable? I'm used to BMWs and never seen such large gaps on a vehicle before. I didn't want to point...

    They seem to be ok with moving or setting a date if you have a good reason.

My SA is presumably dead, so I have no...

    Tesla isn't making this easy. To recap, they didn't inform me that I couldn't pick up my car in Dallas bc of out of state registration until I called them.

    Encountered a hiccup when I called the main Tesla # today to check on moving the EDD as I'll be out of town. Apparently, they can't deliver vehicles to be registered out of state to TX. Talked to 2 reps (both were amazing vs. the unresponsive, presumably dead, SA I've been assigned) and they...
