    Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

    Seems like a frequent problem. I wonder what the odds are of this "new" one being solid for more than a month. I'm also slightly concerned that after 21 days my battery will be dead and "permanent damage" done to it. Do they actively prevent that from happening?

    Thanks for the information. It has crossed my mind. Though I lost a car on trade in during this process so I'd still have to buy another car, which will be hard in the current climate. If I were to get rid of the X after this, I'd probably try to sell it first since my cost was 25K lower than...

    Yes, it's Bellevue. They said that's how long it will take to get the parts.

    Quick update on my MX LR that was 4 days old before having complete electrical failure.... Tesla ran diagnostics and found problems with the 12v battery (big surprise) and the rear drive unit inverter. They gave no explanation for what could have happened and why both of those components went...

    I give up. I have no idea how any of you that are arguing about this don't understand what "manual" or "without power" actually means and I'm done trying to explain it.

    What you are saying is not confusing, it's just not relevant to what I was saying. Manually unlocking the charge port is not possible. It requires vehicle power, unless your rear hatch happens to be unlocked and open (if not, it requires power to do so). You keep telling me how to power the...

    Here is the misunderstanding. That requires power.

    Uh, what? I'm not following this. We ALL KNOW that you can unlock the charger cable if the car has power... you are giving instructions on how to get power to the car. I'm just pointing out that WITHOUT POWER, you can't unlock it. Obviously if you don't have power and you jump it you can...

    No, as I said, the frunk is the only thing that is powered by that front bumper connection. Read the manual. It might help. Here is also a "how to" video.

    I'm specifically talking about refresh model X's. We don't know everything that changed under the "hood". We have no significant driving history of them yet. My guess is that they will be far more likely to have problems than earlier models. I hope I'm wrong. But with all of the part...

    Has anyone been able to do the "light show" on their car yet? Mine starts but turns off after just 3-4 seconds. I am wondering if this is a v11 software bug or another sign of issues with my electrical system.

    I think that is extremely unlikely. If a problem as significant as this, total power system failure happens on day 4 with 130 miles on it, odds are that this car will continue to have problem after problem going forward. I think over the next couple of years we will be seeing just how terrible...

    Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

    Firstly, I specifically said there is no manual option to unlock the charger cable without power. Then you are explaining how to power the car to do it. So, yeah. But what you said isn't true anyway. I assume you haven't actually done this or you would know. The access door on the front...

    Thank you. It's frustrating to say the least after the wait they put us through. There is no emergency release for charger, at least not a manual powerless option. The tow truck guy had no idea how to power the 12v battery to get the doors opened and release the charger, so I consulted the...

    Your 2020 constantly dies and needs to be towed to be fixed for a couple weeks? Wow, that is really bad. I would probably have filed a lemon law claim with your state.

    Wiki Model X Refresh Issues Thread

    Got my car Tuesday. This morning it is sitting in my garage plugged in and is totally dead. No response to app, keys, door handles, etc. cant even unplug the piece of *sugar*. Worst decision I have ever made to buy this car. Tesla is dead to me after this.

    I picked up my Model X on Tuesday. This morning I go into the garage to get in and its dead. Completely dead. Won’t open, won’t let me unplug charger, wont connect to App. Totally dead.

    I had posted yesterday about being very nervous about my delivery appointment due to all of the issues reported in this thread. But it all worked out. There were no significant issues with the inspection, the delivery guy helped me and was very patient. Took about 40 mins to check everything...

    Hahaha, I like that idea. Hi Mr. Tesla delivery person, here is my inspection team ready to look at this car. I wonder what they would say.

    This pertains to home delivery only, as far as I know. And your SC may be much more lenient than this lady at mine makes it sound. So, fingers crossed you'll get enough time.

    Really? Is it too much to ask to get a chance to inspect a 100K car before you agree to buy it? Is it too much to ask for people who have been waiting for such a long time to get more than 5 minutes? Is it too much to ask for Tesla to build the damn thing properly instead of intentionally...

    I stopped by the SC that will be handling my delivery on Tuesday. They told me that I am not able to look at the car prior to delivery and that they only do home deliveries. I asked about how other people have been forced to accept delivery prior to being allowed inside the car to inspect it...

    Mine is a home delivery. I didn't chose that, that's just what they are doing. Not sure if that matters but seems like they will not want to wait around for an hour while I check everything.

    Really trying to make sure I don't mess up my delivery. After reading about all of the problems with this car at delivery, I'm not willing to pre-pay before delivery or "accept" the car prior to inspecting everything. 1. Can I pay for the car during my delivery appointment (after inspecting...

    Finally! 3/31/21 order date. They pushed my EDD to July just a day before getting a VIN. Questions for you guys... 1. Where can I get a good checklist to make sure Tesla isn't giving me one of their problem cars? 2. It's a home delivery and I have financing setup. Can I wait until my...

    Right but they recently tried to deliver my backup model Y order, gave me 1 day notice to schedule and only gave me 1 day for delivery, which is not enough time to do any of that stuff. I didn't get any notice that I had a VIN, they just said "schedule your delivery" via text and I only had 1...

    I haven't complained in awhile so here it goes... Last week Tesla updated my March 2021 order EDD to March 13-31 (from it's previous value of "July"). I took that as good news since it's unlikely they would bump it up several months and give it specific range unless it was more solid. So I...

    My original EDD was May 2021 and I made sure to get my tesla wall charger installed prior to "delivery". Now that my tesla wall charger is approaching it's 1 year birthday and has never been used, I think Tesla's plan in giving us these ridiculously inaccurate delivery estimates is to sell more...

    Maybe. But they may have taken more than order date into account when choosing who to call. Hell, it may have been partially a lottery system.

    Yes, I'm in Seattle, so not sure how long that takes generally. But even if it's built in the 1st week of December, if shipping is 2 weeks, it will be very tricky taking delivery during the Christmas holiday. I wonder if they even do deliveries then. I'm writing this off so it's crucial I get...
