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.

We could meet at the Austin SC. It's right off the Spicewood Springs/McNeil exit on 183. Super easy to get to. :)

Can we please get "Colonoscopy Appointment Date" added to the spread sheet?

Coming soon: "We at Tesla believe nighttime deliveries are more 'dramatic' and more 'on-brand'. Therefore, all future Model X deliveries will be done between midnight and 4 AM."

Here's some irony for you: President Biden acknowledged that Tesla exists a full day before Elon Musk acknowledged that the Model X exists.

I used to live in the NYC metro area. Traffic there is awful. LA traffic is famously awful. AUSTIN traffic is absolutely nothing (and far less traffic than Houston). The lack of stress on the roads is noticeable. Even when there is traffic, I just think back to all the years of endless delays...

Each Tesla takes a long time to make. This is because each vehicle is now being handcrafted by one individual. Mine is being built by a guy named Fred. Fred takes pride in his welding and soldering. Sometimes, Fred asks his friend Alvin to help him mount windshields onto the frame. I hope Alvin...

Ooof!!! 5 minutes after posting my commentary on "potential savings" Tesla changed my estimated delivery to October 2028.

The "potential savings" is quite disingenuous. For starters, these theoretical "savings" do not factor in the cost of installing a home charging station. Yes, you "could" plug it into your standard outlet, but they know their customers are best served by having a faster charging option. Germany...

This thread managed to be a source of information and respectful discourse until Nov 28, 2021.

Using any kind of superlatives should only limited to those who make major contributions to the forum. Fulkth clearly has been an awesome post-delivery contributor. However, sunnyvaletree was no "hero". The guy never saved a kitten from a tree and did not share much post-delivery info that we...

Congratulations EV_LIFE!!! I'm going to make a (tongue in cheek) wild prediction: You will take delivery of your Model X BEFORE January! :D

I am very excited! My order details changed this morning. And, for the first time, they are being honest!

The tires that come with my Model X are not futuristic enough. I'm replacing them with 4 rectangular yoke tires. ;)

If you put the flyover music on Boombox, people will think you have some kind of fancy electric Porn-mobile!

Hey Steve, I'm in Austin too, (NW Austin) I would be nice to meet you some day!

Using the wall charger is easy, as any SA will explain to you. The wall charger absolutely won't work until you have been assigned a VIN number. You also need an invitation from Tesla and at least a 99% driving score to use your charger. Also, memorize your VIN number; you'll need to input it...

The question is, do you want all the features that the X has, or is the Y everything you need? You certainly could fit the instrument in a 6 seat X. You would want to prop up the neck with a pillow (or 2) which would also serve as a shock absorber. It actually would end up being better...

Center the double bass so the neck sits between the 2nd row captain's chairs. It shouldn't be a problem since about 40% of the instrument is quite narrow.

Congratulations Fulkth! Did you sleep in your MX last night? :D

Which is why they should do the high end incentives on the down low. When you pick up your $100K+ EV, a shifty guy in sunglasses hands you a brown paper bag with $10,000 stuffed into it. You say nothing, get inside your new car and drive way.

Ok, I'm going out on a limb here: I predict tomorrow will be a great day for at least one MX customer. :D Also, I predict sunshine and a high around the mid 60's for tomorrow in Marina Del Ray. https://weather.com/weather/tenday/l/Marina+Del+Rey+CA+90292:4:US

A lot of you, living comfortably in your air-conditioned homes, did not get any stimulus checks . I didn't get any checks either. But that's more to do with lack of address to mail them to. (The government won't deliver to "Under the bridge Hwy 183, near the H-E-B supermarket." It's NOT just...

This is actually interesting because history says ridiculous delays are not too far fetched! :D BUT.. if it IS June 2022, That would mean the rest of us here would be getting our cars by the estimated time or sooner.

I see good MX new coming this week. Also the week starting Monday, November 22nd. In addition, I am looking at December as being HUGE and will make many MX waiting room people very happy!

Driving home in rush hour traffic? Just put it on autopilot and relax! :D

This has me wondering...I ordered my 6 seater in August 2021. My estimated delivery says APRIL. How could your 7 seat March order arrive around the same time? And will they switch to 5 and 7 seaters before going to newer 6 seat orders? I wonder what the cutoff point would be for 6 seaters before...

Not true! Because I am buying the MX, I had to break it to my kids that they cannot go to college. And our dinners will be $0.49 Ramon Noodle for the foreseeable future!

Just like Sunny, after Fulhth gets his MX we may not hear much from him. It's like amical relationship breakups. They always say "We'll keep in touch! You are still my friend!" But in reality... they move on. But, on the outside chance things could be different, I'll say this: Fulkth, please...

You most definitely called it first. Mine was tongue in cheek and clearly AFTER you had made your proclamation. You get the credit for today's fantastic MX news. And BTW, I'm more like one of those failed doomsday prognosticators. When I miss my guess, I just say "What I really meant to say...

Ok, remember you heard it from me right here: Tomorrow, November 1st 2021 is going to be a big day for MX. When this comes true, feel free to act as if I saved a baby kitten out of a tree. :D

That sly dog Elon Musk is going to surprise us all and delivery everyone's MX tomorrow! It will be the start of a new Tesla era. Each MX will come with a real live unicorn in the back seat!

Most definitely kidding! I plan on getting the Tesla Wall charger. The only issue will be in the future when the charging cable length will not be long enough to reach both cars in the garage.

I am preparing my garage for my MX. I am very excited to have ordered my charging extension cord from Amazon. I wonder if I will need one of those orange 3 prong to 2 prong adapters? 🤔 https://www.amazon.com/BCQLI-2-prong-Outlets-extension-High-power/dp/B07F81T4BF

Perhaps this is wishful thinking for the future of FSD. With nobody sitting in the driver seat, the passenger would have a small screen with some driving information. 🤔

That OCDetailing MX review is the exact configuration I ordered so very excited to see it! I am really looking forward to the yoke. It will feel new and exciting, and apparently it is comfortable to use.
